“Scorch, I want to see this war come to an end. I want to have civilians go about their lives without fear of invasion. I want to see our men on parade routes not tours of duty! I want to see every planet in this miserable, war torn universe free from the grasp of the Metal Army and us with the ability to prevent any future wars!.”

-Subsourian, Anecdote 3

Subsourian the Dark (or Sub) is a Morph, a humanoid being created by dark magic long ago. He is currently a little under five thousand years of age, and at one point commanded an entire empire. He now is one of the last Yoshi Bodyguards, leading the clone army at the rank of General. Sub is depicted as a tall, thin human with black hair, pale skin, and golden eyes. He is usually clad in sky blue robes, though he has been seen bearing Yoshi Bodyguard ARC Trooper armor. Subsourian is one of the oldest RP characters still active, having appeared in the Yoshi Military three years before the The Yoshi Bodyguards were created. He regularly appears in Topmonhit’s stories and comics, and is one of the major players in the Metal Wars saga. He is on friendly terms with most Yoshi Bodyguards, although he has earned the disdain and distrust of many.

History

Creation and Escape

Subsourian was created around 2200 BZ on the continent of Elibe. One of the most powerful dark mages in history, Nergal the Madman, had begun to create an army of Morphs to aid him in obtaining the power of dragons. Several Morphs were granted the emotions and personalities, Subsourian being one of the lucky few. Soon after his creation, a band of heroes from the neighboring country of Lycia raided Nergal’s lair at the Dread Isle, killing Nergal and the bulk of his morphs. Subsourian was one of the few survivors to flee the destruction of the gate, taking with him his master’s spellbook, the Twilight Lexicanium.

Subsourian fled to the mainland of Elibe, where bounty hunters searching for the last remants of Nergal’s army pursued him. After a war broke out on the mainland between the countries of Bern and Lycia, Subsourian fled the continent altogether, fighting refuge in a distant land with a band of mercenaries. There, he learned the art of war and tactics, and aided them in overthrowing a cruel dictator in their kingdom. However, in the last days of the conflict, Subsourian was forced to use his master’s spell, Erishikigal, to save his allies. The spell worked, but Subsourian, unable to control the spell, was hurled into the vortex of dark mana, and thought to be dead.

The Yoshi-Koopa War

Out of the Abyss

When Sub used Ereshkigal and opened up the vortex of dark mana, he was cast into the abyss between worlds, where all dark mana is spawned. Sub was sustained in a stasis there, and, for nearly two thousand years, simply remained locked between time and space.

One day, on the planet of Star World, deep in the Koopa Kingdom, mages were testing uses for dark magic. One of the spells they cats tore a vortex through a nearby town, destroying it an it’s populace. The vortex was strong enough, however, to rip Subsourian out from the Abyss and into Star World.

For about five years, Subsourian wandered, disguised as a mere goomba, the lowest of lows in the Koopa Kingdom caste system. He was later conscripted to join the Koopa Kingdom’s military, and served in their magi regiments, where he continued honing his skill for the arcane arts. Sub was forced to fight under the command of the Koopa king, Ludwig von Koopa the First.

All of this changed when Sub and his regiment were charged with attacking a small tribe of Yoshis. The Yoshis, who were divided into tribes at the time, were virtually helpless against their onslaught. When King Ludwig ordered the slaughter of a tribe who had saved their regiment from defeat, Sub was one of many who defected to the tribe to fight against Ludwig.

This defection outraged King Ludwig, and he sent his massive naval fleets (all of which using Renaissance Period technologies) to assault the traitors. Sub, his defected human ally Pentance, and the Yoshi leader, Yoshimire, all formed together to defend their island from the attack. Thus, the first Yoshi-Koopa war began.

Yoshi-Koopa War I

The Yoshis rallied together, and defended from the Koopa attack. The battle was fierce, and cost many lives on both sides. In the end, however, the Yoshis prevailed, pushing back the fleets. The Yoshis launched a counter offensive to the Koopa mainland, which ended in a complete failure.

In the next three years, the two engaged in fighting for the Yoshi Islands, both sides having to ally with and fight off other Yoshi tribes. In the end, Yoshimire was able to unite the Donut Plains under his control, while the Koopa Kingdom still held the outlying islands near their territory. This is when Subsourian devised a plan.

Through the course of the war, Subsourian, who was now one of two Supreme Generals who advised Yoshimire, had developed some primitive magi-technology. Two of his inventions turned the tide of the war. One was the mass portal network, with the ability to take in multiple people at once, allowing for swift army movements. The other was a manafire bomb, with the ability to blast through even solid iron, which was unheard of at the time.

While Yoshimire was beginning to push into the Koopa mainland, Subsourian sent in specialized mages to set up an entry portal near the Koopa’s capitol building, the Koopa Keep. Then, Subsourian himself lead in a night raid and detonated several manafire bomb in his castle, destroying the Koopa Keep. However, King Ludwig survived, and pushed his naval forces deeper into Yoshi territory, setting up a Koopa Tower as his main base of operations.

Two more years past, and the war seemed to be going nowhere. However, an event soon came to unite both factions.

The Starlite Invasion and the Ascension of the Yoshis

All of this changed around 100 BZ when several technologically advanced transports descended from the sky on the Koopa’s territories. They were the Starlites, a hyper advanced race from another world, who had sent a force to scout out Star World for its occupation. The military force took the Koopa Tower, and drove the Koopas away. They, they began to push into Yoshi territory, taking island after island.

In a desperate attempt at victory, the Yoshis and the Koopas allied together. They were still outclassed by superior weapons that rivaled even modern timeline weapons. However, what the allied factions lacked in technology, they made up in magic. The Yoshis and Koopas had managed to hold off the Starlite advance on a single naval base held by the Yoshis. After the victory, however, the Starlites managed to launch a nuclear missile on the island, completely annihilating it and its occupants. With such sheer power, the Yoshis and Koopas were demoralized.

However, drawn to this incident were the Axis, an alliance of worlds devoted to destroying the Starlites. With the Starlite presence strengthening on Star World, the Axis supported the Yoshis and the Koopas in their assault. In the end, the Elite fortress island was destroyed, and their presence was pushed off of Star World. In the final battle, however, the Yoshi ruler, Yoshimire, mysteriously went missing. No one knows his fate to this day.

After the battle, the Yoshis and the Koopas were offered massive advancements in technology if they would ally with the Axis and aid their war effort. The Koopas refused, not wanting any more to do with the war. The Yoshis, now under the rule of Subsourian, took the offer. Subsourian, however, was unpopular among many of the allied tribes, due to him not being a Yoshi himself. He offered the tribes a choice to stay on the planet or leave in space, and colonize a new world. Out of the twelve tribes united under his rule, three took the offer.

The Yoshis were horded aboard Axis ships, and sent into space. The tribes that abandoned their homeworld were deemed “Dark Yoshis,” a term that stuck with them through their legacy. This would not be the last time they would see Star World, however.

The Reign of Subsourian

The Settling of Greenflame

Around the year 150, the Axis granted the Yoshi Tribes a planet to settle on. This was a largely barren plot of land on the fringe of the known universe, known as Tarsonis. This was an oxygen rich planet, though filled with psychotically sensitive hostile creatures. Subsourian ordered the ships to settle near an ocean, and began to found a metropolis with the help of the Axis. Within ten years, the city of Greenflame was fully functional, and a crown jewel on a barren tract of space.

The Yoshi race, unknowing of democratic leadership, crowned Subsourian as their new Emperor, a role he did not take lightly. There, he sought to help the Dark Yoshis establish a new life, using Tarsonis's large mineral reserves to trade with the Axis.

The Yoshis were not the only race in Greenflame. After several years, the Durians, a race distantly related to the Zoras of Hyrule, sought new a homeland, as their planet was destroyed by the Starlites. Subsourian set up a large aquatic sector of Greenflame. A mass influx of Durians swept in, making them the second largest ethnicity in the city.

Subsourian then fufilled his side of the bargain to the axis, and formed a massive army out of the Yoshis he had, known as the Imperial Forces. The Imperials were not many in number like most of the races in the Axis, but developed amazing magi-technology, such as the Nightwind, Subsourian's first capitol ship, and the Metal Titans, which were thought to all have been destroyed until recently. Subsourian appointed Gigey Foxer and Mia Takahashi to lead the Imperials, and even set off into battle on his own in some circumstances.

The Axis Wars

Not much is known on the Axis wars, other than it had spanned since nearly 1000 BZ, when the Starlites first obtained space travel and the ability to conquer other worlds. Their leader, Skylar Luyez, an egotistical creature who's life span far exceeded the war. He sought to bring the entire universe under his rule, and for the time, he had the resources to do it.

It was about this time the Vhozons were recovering from their near annihilation by the Necrons, preventing them from stepping in. Also weakened at this point were the Celestial Architects, whose numbers were dwindling close to extinction near the rise of the Starlites. Due to the Chozo's nonviolent nature, and the Starlite's distance from them, conflict between the two was minimal. With no powers in their way, the Starlites would have trampled through the universe. However, invaded planets banded together, forming the Axis, with the express purpose of blocking the Starlite advance.

The Imperials contributions in the field of arcane studies were immense. Several battles documented showed old tribal spells created by Yoshis back on Star World being used in battle. Also documented were the massive Battlecruiser warships, and the five Metal Titans created by the Imperial force.

The Axis pushed back the Starlites to their home world of Starel, and proceeded with a land invasion. Subsourian himself headed the attack in his capitol ship, the Nightwind II. The battle was an immense failure, almost costing Subsourian his life as well as the lives of millions of others.

Starel did fall about three years later, when their Luyez was assassinated by one of his own officers and the entire empire broke into civil war. The Axis took this chance to strike, and cleared up the remaining forces. However, by this time, the Dark Yoshis were having problems of their own.

The Second and Third Yoshi-Koopa Wars

While the Axis wars began to draw to a close, Subsourian wondered what became of the Yoshi's homeworld of Star World. He sent scouts back to the planet to discover what had become of the tribes that stayed. The scouts reported a grim realization: King Ludwig von Koopa I, who had been prolonging his life by use of his mages, had reclaimed several Starlite weapons and began to use them on a conquest of Yoshi's Island. Subsourian acted instantly, sending in Imperial troops to Star World under General Mia Takahashi to quell the inbalance of power.

The Koopas, though equipped with high technology, had very little experienced in it's use. Subsourian first ordered the destruction of their moon base, and then focused in on King Ludwig's stronghold, the jungle island of Keyhaul Key. General Takahashi bombed the island with napalm charges, destroying Ludwig's massive naval force in one fell stroke. Ludwig and his officers just barely escaped, and called for a ceasefire. The King then made his way inland, his naval power crushed.

Two years later, however, Subsourian struck at the Koopa Empire's mainland, eager for revenge for past crimes of the king. The Imperials managed to make it to their new underground base camp, before another event called them back to Tarsonis.

Ludwig's Starlite technology was destroyed, and the Koopa Empire reeled in defeat for centuries to come. The anti-Yoshi sentiment between the two only grew as King Ludwig passed on, and his decedents took up the throne. However, the Emperor was having throne issues of his own.

Subsourian vs Sneezier

Between the time of the ceasefire and the third Yoshi-Koopa war, the terms between the Koopa Empire and the Imperial Yoshis were distant, and yet the two kept in contact. One specific event happened in this time that changed the two leader's perspective of their world forever.

Crown Prince Ludwig, from the modern times, had taken a time machine created by Egad and went back in time to rally two famed leaders to their cause. He deceived them both, making them believe that the Koopa Kingdom was on the brink of extinction, and Mushroom Kingdom was invading the remainder of the world. Subsourian and Ludwig put aside their differences for the period, came came back with the Crown Prince to help him.

Their orders were simple: they were to hold a space station against the invading armies. The station, unbeknown to the two, was a superweapon targeting Yoshioplis. Mexous Sniffin Sneezier and a young Yoshi named PB were sent in to disarm this weapon, and faced Subsourian in combat. Though close, Sub was faced with far superior technology, and was defeated. Crown Prince Ludwig was later to follow, allying with his future counterpart to kill off Sneezier.

Then, Bowser revealed his plan, unknowingly overheard by Sub and Ludwig. Sneezier and PB fought Bowser, but was losing, until the two stepped in on their side, destroying the station. The two were thought to be dead at the time, but escaped back to the past in Egad's time machine, promptly destroying it to ensure no more tampering with the past.

The Foxer Coup and Exile

Back on Tarsonis, year 500, Subsourian's growing power was unnerving many below him. Several attempts were made on his life, none successful. Until one of the most powerful men in the Empire decided to make a grab for his seat.

While his forces were away, and Sub was alone at his throne, General Foxer took his Honor Guard and caused a riot in the city. General Foxer himself faced Emperor Subsourian in combat, almost defeating him. However, as an act of kindness, he allowed him to leave with a group of loyalists. Sub boarded the Nightwind III, allowing to crew to go into cold sleep. Gigey Foxer disabled Sub's hyperdrive, and sent him on a long exile.

There, Subsourian drifted in space, his loyalists in cold sleep. He remembered Star World, a land the Imperials had forsaken, and slowly began to drift toward the planet with what little he had.

Eventually, the Nightwind III encountered a COUE vessel. The Confederation pirates ordered them to be boarded, but Sub refued, firing on them. Eventually, the Yoshi Bodyguards intervened, saving the Nightwind III. Subsourian was grateful, and, knowing some of the members from the time travel incident, was offered to join. Unknowing of anything else in the strange, new universe, Subsourian and his crew were all honorary Yoshi Bodyguards.

Service in the Yoshi Bodyguards

Pre-Dark Age and the Rise of the Clone Army

Sub's service before the Dark ages was scattered, and many times, away from the primary group of Yoshi Bodyguards. Sub worked hard against the COUE and Darkcorp remains, organizing Yoshi regiments to fight against their fleets. His actual battle service was limited, though when he did get the chance to actually fight, he was in he thick of battle, sometimes battling General Mysertio himself.

Then, on the planet Yoth, Supreme Commander Mack unleashed a new weapon to turn the tide. The Yoshi Bodyguard Clone Army was in motion, and, though the battle for Yoth was a failure, Subsourian and Sneezier built upon this newly founded clone army with their magi and tech skills. Sub, in particular, trained a majority of newer clones in combat arts, even producing some magi regiments of his own, as well as a personal honor guard, Dark Squadron.

Using parts of Mexous's Cyber Bell Vanguard fund, Subsourian also ordered the creation of a new fleet for the clone army. Several obsolete SWD and Cyber Bell Vanguard captiol ships were reconditioned and refitted with better weapons and armor, including Subsourian's own Nightwind III, remade into the Nightwind IV.

For a while, all seemed at peace. The COUE battles began to turn to their favor, Darkcorp had been all but wiped out, and the Yoshi Bodyguards became a force to rival the very Star World Defensive Forces.

Then Subsourian was tested with his greatest challenge yet.

The Dark Ages

When the Yoshi Bodyguard's primary leader, Yoshilier, was killed by his son, Summer, and hell broke loose. The remaining Yoshi Bodyguards scattered from the headquarters, going to different sections of the universe. Subsourian stayed behind to defend the Headquarters, when a demon attack overran the clone fortifications. In a last ditch effort, Subsourian fell back to a warp portal Sneezier had created, and set it to overload. The resulting explosion leveled part of the YB Headquarters, and destroyed many an invader.

Sub and the remaining clones ended up on a unknown ice world, searching for s crystal capable of destroying demonic manifestations. They were able to take the mine, when Space Pirates captured Sub and his group. They were thrown on slaver vessels, and disarmed. Sub activated the emergency signal in his PS, but the remaining YBs were too caught up in their own affairs to respond. Seeing no hope, Sub allied himself with an alien race also enslaved, the Lost, in order to escape. Sub and the Lost High Templar Trema both managed to liberate a Lost carrier, and almost escaped, when the Space Pirates brought in reinforcements.

However, in the nick of time, ARC Yoshililer and the Nightwind IV, along with two other capitol ships, moved in. The group had broken from their evacuation pattern to help Sub. Sub accepted their aid, and, with his new fleet, headed straight back to Star World.

Subsourian first began to set up base camp at the edge of a demon portal in the remains of the Koopa Mainland, hoping to stem Vaufendor's influence on the world. Sub held out against the first few waves of abominations that came from the portal, when Fazar noticed his presence. He launched a massive energy attack, devastating Subsourian and Trema's men. The Yoshi Bodyguard remains were forced to fall back.

However, Sub was not done. He moved into the ruins of Yoshioplis , and a fierce battle against Fazar's Black Dragonflight ensued. In the end, Sub had taken the destroyed city for his own. First, he attempted to break the dimensional barrier between Fazar's realm and his own existence, but failed, instead unleashing a demon wave on his own base. Sub then decided it would be best to track down the remaining Yoshi Bodyguard members, though with the HQ gone, the PS tracking systems would not function as usual. Sub had to rely on what radar they had,and noted a presence of Yoshi Bodyguards in a forest on the Mushroom Kingdom mainland. He wasted no time, and dispatched the Nightwind IV along with several search parties and assault teams to the forest, in hopes to save some of Star World's heroes.

Sub sent out several recon teams, himself heading the primary one, and set the Nightwind IV above the forest. His group first encountered Mexous Sneezier, who told him he was fine, but could not help him due to issues he was dealing with on his own. Sneezier warned him of the COUE presence on Star World before vanishing. Sub found traces of other members, but the only other Yoshi Bodyguard that was found was Comet, who was near death from poisoning and injuries. Sub took him back to the Nightwind IV, just as a recon team uncovered the location of Anubis, heir to the Yoshi Bodyguard leadership, in engagement with Fazar. Sub took this opportunity to strike, and just before Anubis was to be defeated, Sub airdropped several armored mechs to the location. Fazar and Anubis were both teleported away at the last second by Vaufendor, leaving Sub alone. Comet was brought back to health, but wanted to continue on with a mission of his. Sub granted him a small stuntfighter, and let him go off.

Back at Yoshioplis, Sub encountered a massive dark energy signature. Fearing the worst, Sub evacuated his forces to orbit. Just then, the Titans summoned themselves, releasing an energy that eroded away all metal. Subsourian's forces attempted to bombard the demonic entities from orbit, but no avail. Sub and Trema both decided to go in ceramic drop pods, and went down to face the Titans with a team of Lost warriors. On the surface, Sub met with Scorch, who was helping a refugee hub in it's defense. Scorch tagged along, telling Sub of a Fazar sighting west of them. Sub met with Anubis and a near death Fazar once again, but this time with the demon Vaufendor. Sub was to deliver the killing blow to Fazar, when Anubis stopped him, and asked him to leave. Sub obliged, saying he had a larger target, and warning Vaufendor that he would "cut the puppet from his strings." Sub and Trema then went to face the Titans themselves.

At first, the battle went as planned. Trema redirected the Titan's attacks to one another using psychic shields, and Sub struck at the weakened Titans. However, all of that changed when the Titans merged. A single blast of the combined Titan's power tore through the Lost defenders, and killed Trema. Sub, seeing no other option, unleashed a full Ereshkigal on the Titans. The blast was massive, and crippled the combined Titan, but put Sub to the very brink of death. Scorch carried Sub back to the refugee camp, where he did not wake until Anubis killed the Titans, Vaufendor, and the Eater of Worlds. Afterward, he was found by the SWD forces that secured the caravan, and taken to a military hospital.

Post-Dark Ages and Reformation of the Yoshi Bodyguards

Sub was put in intensive care for a long period after the Dark Ages, and eventually came out of the strain induced coma he was put in. However, he was still weakened, and for a time, would break down into coughing fits at random moments, with only a special potion to ease his pain. However, Sub was able to return to a reformed Yoshi Bodyguards, and saw to the founding of New Yoshioplis.

In later missions, such as the fight against the demon-form of Anubis, Sub provided air support and transportation, though too weak to actually participate in battle. It wasn't until Phazon hit Star World that Sub came back into action, fighting off several infestations of the substance, including a reformed Titan.

Sub had missed several other encounters with enemies in favor of reforming the clone army, which was all but destroyed in the Dark Ages. With the help of Sneezier and Scorch, Sub brought the army back up to strength, and began to bring the fight back to the COUE, which remained even after its defeat in the Dark Ages. Sub first tested the new army on Pokeworld, when Team Rocket began to play a trump card against the local population by mutating Pokemon, with results such as Dark Danny.

Sub really came back into action when Anubis came to Hyrule, a Federation no-tech zone. Sub was delayed due to political issues, but flew in to meet the group before they went to their doom on Koholint Island, the fabled island of dreams. In the process, Sub was hit by a storm, and crashed into the ocean. Sub contacted Sunset through a spirit transfer, but was cut off when the massive beast, Angler, devoured his ship. He was freed by the Yoshi Bodyguards on the island, and helped gain back the instruments, fighting a mirror image of himself in the process. In the end, Fazar was once again defeated, and Sub escaped with the rest of the Yoshi Bodyguards.

Years of Chaos

After Sub came back to Star World, there was very little time he was not busy with a mission. First, bounty hunters of the Federation raided the Yoshi Bodyguard Headquarters. Sub defended the building, and teamed up with Federation hero Samus Aran in investigating a strange reading in the Alimbic Cluster. Sub and Scorch faced down the bounty hunters, and finally fought against Gorea. Then, when a strange shadow descended on Star World and caused an illusion of the Koopa Keep attacking Star World, Sub took to the defensive, holding the HQ against the illusions.

Sub then fought on Pokeworld again, defeating Team Rocket's genetic manipulation activities with the strong fist of the clone army. Sub then was warned of a Chozo derelict floating outside of Star World, and ended up on a massive prison world on a collision course with Star World. The prison harbored a fusion of the Metroid and X parasites, as well as the mad Chozo who created them. Sub and the Yoshi Bodyguards set the core to overload, and evacuated the planet with a Federation garrison.

When Sub returned to Star World, he found that a strange group of beings from Sneezier's future had invaded with force. Sub worked with the SWD and the Yoshi Bodyguards to fight the Plasmocs back, activating the Ion Cannon Defensive Network to destroy several of their ships before their soldiers became possessed with a demonic presence. However, the Yoshi Bodyguards were more than a match for the demons, and Sub himself aided in it's defeat.

Sub participated in a smaller known event where an online game began to manipulate reality, but was called away for issues against the COUE. It had turned out that the Federation had acted against Mysterio with the help of Coshi and Plasshi, and defeated their forces on Ryshi. Sub was ready to withdraw the clone army, when something had hit the universe.

A something that would cause more bloodshed than any war in history.

The Metal Wars and Chaos Abounds

As soon as the Metal Army struck the universe, the Yoshi Bodyguard Clone Army was mobilized, as well as the SWD and Federation forces. Sub himself had convinced the core Yoshi Bodyguards to help him escort a group of scientists to the location of a fallen Metal Titan from the Starlite period. After fighting through Ork, Metal Army, and Necron alike, and after a short alliance with the Vhozon, the Yoshi Bodyguards had finally claimed the Metal Titan as their own.

Afterward, Sub participated in several frontline skirmishes in the Metal Wars before being called back to Star World. Several factions had allied, and sections of Star World were put under eternal night, where they were mind controlled as they slept. Sub fought off what forces he could, but was shortly overrun. Top then came in with the rest of the Yoshi Bodyguards, and the group raided the villain's fortress, very nearly being defeated, but saved at the last second by an unknown force.

Soon after, Sub returned to the frontlines of the war, fighting in the Second Battle of Finichia, holding back the Metal Army from the Metal Titan. He then pushed to Sol, where he was almost killed when his Pelican crashed into the lava surface of the planet. Sub teleported out, and the force fell back.

Sub was then called back to support the Yoshi Bodyguards in a legal manner, having a large say in the politics involving the Yoshi Bodyguards. Subsourian was called to hold a trail of Topmonhit, who was accused to theft of several powerful relics. Top was found guilty, but both Sub and Top's Lawyer realized the jury was under a mind control. After a long journey, Sub himself helped face down Cackletta and restore the jury to their proper mindset.

Sub didn't return to the frontlines this time, however, as a stint with the chaos emerald caught his attention. Sub and the Yoshi Bodyguards hunted down Grodus and the X-Nauts, teething the chaos emeralds from their grasp. Sub and Top then took a group to find one hidden in the Pit of 100 Trials, retrieving it. Sub was to be shipped back to the frontlines, when an icy plague came over Star World, putting the planet in an Ice Age. Sub aided the Yoshi Bodyguards in finding their fallen comrade, Sneen, in Underwhere, and restoring balance to Star World's ecosystem. Sub was then called away to defend the Yoshi Bodyguards for their actions on Chronis, unsuccessful as he may of been. As a result, the Counsel mandated that the Yoshi Bodyguards be merged with the SWD after Mekkai was secured and the Metal Army defeated.

The Last Yoshi Bodyguards

The last mission of the Yoshi Bodyguards involved Coshi's homeland, which was invaded by a Plasshi immitation. The situation became sticky after Ryshi almost decided to declare war on Star World, and the Bugato Islands demanded the death of Plasshi. However, Sub rooted out the problem of Neo-COUE Porthexes, and balance was restored. However, shortly after, Top, Oshy and Topper left the Yoshi Bodyguards, causing everyone to go their separate ways. Subsourian, Scorch, Mexous, Sally, Coshi and Plasshi had decided to stay, holding devotion to the clone army and the mechas that still served.

This did not stop Sub from serving with old friends, and after a mission in the Upper Stream of Federation Space, Sub supported several former Yoshi Bodyguards in a raid on Bowser's Castle, but was defeated by Iggy Koopa. Sub then reappeared only to help Top fight off Lord Crump's mecha, but had to leave after a incident at Renton caused him to be called away.

Sub lead in Renton's defense, where a Metal Army fleet sought to break through while the shipyards of Renton were disabled. Sub drove them back, and mandated a new shipyard be build with better defenses for a surprise attack. Sub then returned to Star World for a wedding of Vivian and Noshum in the Shadow Dimension, and when things went awry, Sub acted quickly, using his dark powers to destroy the Crystal Ztar, and locate the shards across the world. In the end, Sub cast a small Ereshikigal on the possessed Noshum, freeing him from the Ztar's control.

Once again, Sub returned to the frontlines of the war, raiding several planets in the Mobius sector that were infested with the Metal menace. He took command of a garrison there, and drove the Metal Army's last bastion of the Zinc and Cobalt back out of the system and into Lylat. Sub then left the garrison there, and returned to Star World after he had heard Top had inherited an entire Kingdom.

Sub aided Top in military matters, when the Kingdom of Shiver Star was invaded by it's neighbors. Sub, unfortunately, could not devote Yoshi Bodyguard forces away from the primary threat of the Metal Army. The kingdom fell, but Sub transported the diamond away from enemy forces before they could obtain them.

In pursuit of the mysterious Cloud, Sub and Sneezier sent in a force for Operation: Cloud Chasers. The operation failed, and Sub's forces were withdrawn with no casualties. However, he has come one step closer to finding the Cloud, and using it's power for the benefit of Star World.

The Subsourian of Present

Currently, Sub is aiding Team TOT in an operation against an unknown military faction operating in the Mobius Sector, though he intends to return to the frontlines of the Metal Army soon. Sub himself is already planning for the inevitable final assault on Mekkai, and has amassed a large enough tact team to do so.

Also continuing at present is the saga of Sub's attempt to use the Cloud's power to defeat the Metal Army. His recent endeavor has taken him to an alternate universe, where he must face down images of heroes and villains from his own universe, and even some from far beyond.

Sub does not plan to retire, even as the Yoshi Bodyguards merge with the SWD. He still feels as though it is his honor bound duty to protect Star World from any threat, and stands firm in its defense.

Non-Canonical Plot Moments

Tick Tack Emissary: Sub appeared in an alternate dimension version in TTE, where he helped Blizzard and Scorch in finding Pichup. Sub then helped the band of heroes defeat Count Bleah, failing at first, but being recovered from the death-like state of trophyism. Several other items of Sub also appeared, such as the Nightmare, the Nightwind IV, and Lunari. While the story is canonical, the version of Sub is not.

Knights of the Sky: Back before the Yoshi Bodyguards, Sub founded a military organization to "defend the RP Boards." This involved Sub and his Wynne, as well as a large group of warriors who raided those who preyed on weaker RPs. The organization lasted for a long while, but clashed with the canon of the Yoshi Military.

Forum Emblem: A comic series by Subsourian about the NOAs of old Nsider. It used Sub as a personage, but only to represent the user himself.

Personal Information

Personality

Subsourian is a very serious character, looking at a situation from the logical perspective of things. He can be sharp and cruel, but is very caring of allies. However, due to his age, he comes across as cocky and all knowing, which sometimes gets him into trouble. Sub is very intelligent, which makes up for his lack of raw strength. He cannot stand negligence, which is why he dislikes characters such as Blizzard and Koop.

Abilities

Sub is a very powerful Dark Druid, and revered as an Arch-Magi. He knows thousands of spells from his four thousand years of study. He usually fights using magic, but does have a pistol as a last resort weapon. Sub's greatest gift is his tactical mind. Many times, outnumbered and outgunned, Sub has turned the tide of battle. He also is very handy with a single handed sword, and still wields his blade, Lunari, into battle. As a last resort, Sub can also produce dragon-like wings, but only after having used a certain number of spells.

Spells

Sub's total collection of spells is rather large, contained in the Yoshi Bodyguard library. These are the spells he leeks in his spellbook, the Twilight Lexicanium. Many other, more common spells he can use without his spellbook.

-Flux -Nosferatu -Luna -Eclipse -Fenrir -Gespenst -Aura -Guardian -Selvor Fimbulvetr -Eclipse -Stone -Apocalypse -Shadowshot -Ereshkigal

Final Smash: Ereshkigal

If the battle turns for the bad, Subsourian may unleash his ultimate spell, Ereshkigal. The spell starts when Sub summons a great ammount of dark mana, and pulls it all into a set point, sucking up all matter in the surrounding area and condensing it into subatomic particles. When the center of the mass reaches a terminal mass, the center explodes, causing a massive wave of destruction.

Though Sub has used lesser versions of this spell, such as to break the Crystal Ztar, It has only been truly used twice, once to suck him away into the abyss when he was back on Elibe, the other to destroy the legendary Titans. The true spell draws directly from his Quintessense, or binding energy between the soul and the body, and thus leaves him drained and near death.

Items

Druid Robes

Since his creation, Sub has had a special garb that allows him to better use magic energy. This garb has been reconditioned many times, and covers up most of his body. However, it contains many pockets and compartments, which allows him to carry many supplies necessary for his spells and his survival. However, it does hinder his ability to move around.

Twilight Lexicanum

The Twilight Lexicanum is Sub's spellbook, and the only one of its kind. It is the only spellbook in the universe to contain the full inscription of Ereshkigal, one of the most powerful spells of dark magic. However, it also contains hundreds of other lost spells. The book also contains notes and new spells created by Subsourian himself, and serves as Sub's main weapon.

Lunari

Lunari was Sub's sword obtained when he joined the battle in the Starlite Wars, forged by Char Guildmaker, the master smith of a distant Axis planet at the time. It has been infused with hundreds of mythical metals, as well as the blood of Subsourian himself. Thus, Sub is able to not only use it in combat, but channel spells through it as if it were his own hand. Due to Sub's lack of psychical strength, he rarely uses it, however, he does have skill with it, and can deliver very swift strikes for a man of his stature.

ARC Trooper Pattern Armor

When Sub is on the battlefield, he is usally in the streamlined shape of ARC Trooper Armor, a special Deznium Alloy that can reflect most weaker attacks. His is custom made from an elemental ore, which allows him to focus defensive spells through it. In it's normal state, it is white with a dark purple trim, but the suit of armor can change color if Sub so wills it, allowing him to blend in to the surrounding area. This effect is partly annulled by the face Sub rarely wears the helmet, preferring instead to "see war through his own eyes."

Nightwind IV

The Nightwind IV is Sub's personal battleship, a Command Class Battlecruiser, and classified as a Supercarrier. It is too large to land on a planet, so Sub uses it for high atmospheric or deep space missions, as well as a base of operations for planetary invasions. The first Nightwind was very crude, but contained the first magitech weapons on a starship. The first model was scrapped after two battles by Axis engineers to make way for the Nightwind II, which had more guns and a better reactor, as well as the trademark "hammerhead" appearance. The Nightwind II, however, was destroyed in the battle of Starel. Thus, Sub created the Nightwind III to command his operations in the Second and Third Yoshi-Koopa Wars. When Sub was sent into exile, Gigey disabled the ship's hyperdrives and weapons systems, and sent him into deep space. When Sub joined the Yoshi Bodyguards nearly one thousand years later, Sneezier reconditioned the ship and reformed it's weapon systems with superior technology, thus making the Nightwind IV.

The Nightwind IV contains four A-A Batteries, six Orbital Bombardment cannons, a primary Yamatto Cannon, several magi turrets, and a Dark Mana Cannon, it's weapon of last resort. The Nightwind IV has had a near perfect track record, and, when Sub is away, is commanded by ARC Yoshilier, an officer clone who served with Sub in the Dark Ages.

The Nightmare

The Nightmare was a Wraith Class Fighter created by Sub for the sole purpose of surface missions where the Nightwind IV could not penetrate. It contained four Gemini Missile pods, three A-G Turrets, and a miniature Mana Cannon. The Nightmare was shot down and destroyed in a battle against the Conqueror's Fleet. Sub plans to get a replacement ship, but for now, uses Pelican Dropships from the hanger of the Nightwind IV.

A similar version of the Nightmare was used in Tick Tack Emissary, which assisted Sub in his ground operations. Scorch had a similar Wraith Class Fighter, the Crusader.

Commissar's Pistol

Sub has also requisitioned a pistol standard of SWD political officers. The firepower has been drastically increased, and, due to tinkering my Mexous, it can now draw from Sub's dark energy presence. Sub has used it as a weapon of last resort, when magic fails him. It requires no ammo, and can charge in any form of light.

Other Items

Sub also has, in his possession, many relics and magical artifacts he has hunted in his lifetime. He has given some of them to other Yoshi Bodyguards, such as PB, Sunset, and even Plasshi and Coshi's newborn, Sera.

Sub also has a field medical kit, in case of accidents. He also has a standard Yoshi Bodyguard Platinum Shroom, which is upgraded for Clone Army operations. Sub also has a full array of herbalism vials and herbs, allowing him to create potions at will. This was useful in the period where he required special potions to take him out of the coughing fits that randomly ceased him in the year after the Dark Ages.

Biology

Sub is a morph, or a humanoid creature created by dark magic. He is the last of his race, originally thought to have a lifespan shorter than a humanoids due to their unstable nature. Sub is different, however, for when he was sent through the abyss, his body was linked to the dark mana that is required for him to sustain existence. He heals very slowly, much slower than most creatures, but wounds that would scar others for life eventually go away on Sub.

Sub's blood is an odd liquid. It is still red, but very deep and dark, giving off a black color to it. Many rumors surround the effects of Morph's blood and its magic and healing capabilities, but Sub has never supplied it in large quantities, as it, like his body, regenerates as a slower rate than other beings. Sub's blood cannot be clones, part because Sub himself discourages it, part because his cells are sustained off of a set stream of magic, which cannot be replicated by simple cloning processes.

Sub himself is thin, tall, and wiry. He lacks psychical strength, but makes up for it in raw brainpower. His memory is enormous, but yet is somewhat beginning to fade. His hair is a jet black color, his skin is very pale, and his trademark feature is his bright golden eyes that almost seem catlike in their shine. His lifespan is unknown, but he has lived for four thousand years with very little signs of fading.
