* Title: The Last Destroyer, The Crimson Fist, The Rogue Echo
* Alignment: True Neutral (with chaotic tendencies)
* Portfolio: Destruction, Challenge, Survival, Raw Power
* Domain: Salas, The Shattered Bastion; The Iron Primate
* Worshippers: While she does not seek them, some desperate and power-hungry mortals have begun to worship her as a new God of Strength. These cults are small, violent, and brutally pragmatic.
History of the Last Destroyer
For eons untold, Kaleerus served as the God of Destruction for a universe that no longer exists. Bound by cosmic law to a God of Creation, she performed her sorrowful duty, pruning worlds and civilizations to maintain the balance of existence. Over these long ages, she found solace in only one thing: a rivalry with a Legendary Saiyan who had mastered his own chaotic power, the only being who could ever provide her with a true challenge. This long and lonely history came to an end when she witnessed the final, silent heat-death of her reality. In a final, desperate act of will, she tore a hole in the fabric of spacetime and guided the last remnants of her race through it, becoming not a savior, but the shepherd of a people with no home.
Doctrine & Philosophy
Kaleerus is not driven by a grand design. She is a being forged by the singular, traumatic experience of surviving the end of her own reality. Her doctrine is simple: survival is earned through strength, and strength is earned through challenge. Having seen a universe die, she has little patience for the petty squabbles of gods and mortals. She is weary, ancient, and filled with a profound sense of loss, which she masks with a warrior's pride.
Appearance & Manifestations
Kaleerus is the epitome of Saiyan power. She appears as a tall, imposing Saiyan woman with the proud, sharp features of her race, her eyes holding the ancient weariness of a dying star. She wears her crimson and gold Destroyer's Regalia, a symbol of her office that renders her immune to the rigors of the void and other mortal concerns. When she unleashes her power, she is wreathed in a terrifying, blood-red aura of pure God of Destruction energy—the power of Hakai.
Divine Power & Artifacts
* Power of Hakai: Her signature ability. This is not a simple energy blast, but the power to erase a target from existence on a conceptual level. Even a tiny fraction of this power can unmake a lesser god; a full-power use could theoretically erase a physical law or an abstract concept from a localized area of reality.
* Mastery of Ki: Kaleerus has absolute and perfect mastery over Ki. She has achieved every known Saiyan transformation, including the mythical Super Saiyan 4, a form no living being in this reality has ever witnessed.
* The Iron Primate: Her flagship is not a creation of this universe, but a relic of her lost home. It is a terrifying fortress and the last piece of her former reality.
Divine Relationships
* On the Vanguard Pantheon: She views the gods of this universe, like Sol Invictus and The Sentinel, as passionate but fragile children. She broke their ranks once with little effort and knows she could do so again. She respects their conviction but finds their political squabbling tiresome and shortsighted.
* On Asmodeus: She recognizes a fellow ancient being, a player in a game that spans eons. She finds his obsession with absolute order to be just another type of cage but respects his intellect and the scale of his ambition. She is fully aware that he views her as a potential tool and finds the idea grimly amusing.
* On the Elder Gods: These are the only beings in this reality she treats with a measure of deference. She sees them as the true architects and custodians of this universe, and their perspective is the only one that might rival her own. They are a source of profound curiosity, as they may hold the answers to the "unspoken question" of her own existence.
Plots & Goals in the Age of Challenge
Kaleerus is a reactive force, content to remain in her corner until a worthy opponent or a true crisis emerges.
* The Watcher on the Throne: She presides over her people from the Iron Primate, observing the universe with a detached curiosity.
* The Triumvirate: A Study in Survival: She is fully aware of her lieutenants' ambitions, viewing Kado as the necessary rage of their past, Vokka as the only path to their future, and Zukini as the joyful spirit of their present.
* On Half-Bloods: A Curious Potential: She shares Vokka's fascination with Half-Saiyans, seeing them as the ultimate proof of their integration into this new reality and a fascinating experiment in how emotion can fuel power.
*The Unspoken Question: Her primary internal goal is to understand her own nature. Is she a ticking time bomb, destined to fade away without her linked Supreme Kai? Or is she something new, a unique being untethered from the cosmic laws? This question drives her interest in the Elder Gods.
* On Legends: An Echo of the Past: She shows a rare tolerance for Legendary Saiyans, as they remind her of her one true rival and dueling partner from her lost universe, a cherished memory from a life long past.
* A Challenger's Welcome: Her ultimate, personal goal is to find a reason to exist. She would welcome a legitimate, cosmos-threatening challenge, as it would give her a final, meaningful purpose for her immense power.
