General Information
Personality
Catastrophe is highly arrogant and is unable to accept failures. Yet, he tends to deny his own mistakes. For himself, he is unable make any mistakes and there are no creatures that would ever be more powerful than him. Catastrophe is well aware of his own powers and enjoys being feared by others. He also enjoys to terrorize others, especially the people of Kamon. He perceive joy to ruin their lives and has no intention in regretting his actions. He doesn’t care for the people of Kamon at all and doesn’t mind them dying. Besides this, he is very manipulative and can act like he cares for “his” people, which of course is a lie. He told them that the fight against the world of light would be for their own good. But in reality, no matter how it ends, if Catastrophe wins or gets defeated, Kamon will disappear with all of its inhabitants. Catastrophe does care for no one else than himself and his greatest desire is power; endless power.
