Satan (EntityTopic, 18)
From Compile Worlds
Satan is a horned demon who is the primary antagonist in Puyo Puyo, and one of the primary antagonists in Compile Worlds. Though he began in Episode 1 as more of a comical villain with a low threat level, he was revealed to be a serious evil entity in The Meteor Arc. He swoons over Arle Nadja, constantly antagonizing her friends, whom he sees as only distracting her from his love. He currently resides in a palace he spawned from nowhere, and is living happily with his wife... until she got arrested for stealing muffins, that is. Now he's back at his old antics as usual, hoping to have the center of attention as the main villain again.
Biography
For an unknown, but rather lengthy time, Satan has been the King of The Abyss, a dark world where many dark mages of various breeds live. His horns have been carried down through various bloodlines, including those of Rider and Draco Centauros' ancestors, though their horns are less developed than his. He also has one or more lords who serve under him in the Abyss to do his dirty work, namely Lord Marcus XXXIX. He also apparently has allowed these lords each their own underlings as well. Despite the prosperity and huge resources his kingdom had, Satan found them to be too dull to his liking. Hence he connected the Abyss to other worlds, allowing himself and others to migrate to the Madou World and Primp. It is here that Satan had a fateful encounter with Arle, and lost his pet, Carbuncle to her. He stayed in the Madou World until Arle was teleported to Primp, where he followed in hot pursuit.
Most of the time, Satan is calm. However, Satan has a short temper, and is especially angered by any disrespect towards himself or Arle. Despite this, he has shown he can be infinitely patient with Arle, even when she is "being stubborn". As a facade, or perhaps just to fit in, he has a silly side to his personality. While exhibiting this side of himself, he often makes ridiculous proposals to Arle and takes things to extremes, such as buying Arle DIAMONDS, wearing Carbuncle cosplays, and even running over Rulue with a bus. On the flip side of his personality, Satan is conniving and calculating, formulating a careful plan to rid of all of Arle's friends, but not Arle herself. In addition to all of Arle's friends, he may also have a strong disdain for Rulue, who's own interest in him interferes with his plans to wed Arle. Satan is utterly determined no matter what, and will do whatever it takes to reach his goal. It seems, though, that his interest in Arle is more than just a crush, since she looks exactly like a powerful goddess-like mage who existed long ago.
Satan, being a primary antagonist, is extremely powerful. He has been shown to generate spears and spikes to impale his victims with. Additionally, the former can absorb the power of his enemy's attacks, causing them even more pain when he strikes. He is also able to summon meteorites out of nowhere and travel between other worlds freely. Satan is also extremely resourceful; buying, manipulating or creating what he doesn't have. Likely, he founded the creation of the Shadow Cannon™, and the Abyss is a plentiful resource for various materials and smiths to craft other weaponry. He can apparently also grant his lords enough power to make them first class Dark mages in their own rights, but he can also take this power away. He's also really good at Tetris somehow.
Etymology
Satan is of course, named after the devil himself.
