Are you over 18? Yes
Do you have any other characters in game?: Caine and Alastor
Who invited you?: N/A
Character Name: Azmuth
Canon: Ben 10 (Original Timeline), post-Ben 10: Omniverse episode "For a Few Brains More"
Canon Point: Just after he teleported away
Age: Over 3,000 years old
History: Wiki link
Is this character an AU? What type?: No
Personality:
For the most part, Azmuth's personality can be best described as "prickly". He tends to be antisocial and no-nonsense, even sometimes coming across as rude. This is likely due at least in part to his centuries of self-imposed isolation from the rest of the universe. He has quite a temper when riled up though he very rarely resorts to violence as a result of it. Still, he does not suffer fools and will continually degrade them if forced to try.
Though his technology ranks much higher than even that of the rest of his species, Azmuth does appreciate the work of others when it's well-done. As much as he calls Albedo's modifications to his Ultimatrix "pathetic workmanship" which is "asking for trouble", he would later note that Albedo's rebuilt Ultimatrix which allowed him to stay in Galvan form indefinitely was quite clever. While he typically can remain focused and on-topic, he can be distracted by a device he finds particularly intriguing or terrible.
While committed to peaceful science, Azmuth is no pacifist. He refuses to specifically build weapons (even Ben agreeing that the Omnitrix isn't one despite what many might think or say along with how Ben uses it to fight), but he has no problems in handling them himself. When push comes to shove, Azmuth will fight though he usually positions himself where he'd be most effective: typically behind the frontlines offering support in the forms of cover fire or repairing necessary equipment which can be used to aid in the conflict.
Underneath all of this is a being who is genuinely kind and loyal to those he considers to be his friends. More than once, he came to offer words of advice and comfort to Ben when the human had hit his lowest points. While his devices may not have always been a success in helping the peoples of the universe, his heart is in the right place due to continually trying to better the lives of others.
Though Azmuth claims that his only shame is that he was unable to properly heal Malware, he still carries with him a significant amount of guilt. During the holographic projection of his building Ascalon, he stated that it was impossible to change the past "no matter how much one would like to". However, he never answered Ben's question of whether or not he would if he could.
Powers and Abilities:
Inventory:
Standard Galvan Abilities
Azmuth-Specific Abilities
Sample: Test drive meme threads
When presented with a choice, is the character more likely to stick with tried and true methods? Or make something new up on the fly? Depends upon the situation. Azmuth is known to come up with multiple contingency plans, but if none of those seem appropriate, he can swiftly develop an entirely new strategy.
What is more important to your character, preserving the past or forging a future? While, Azmuth is constantly developing new technology to better lives, he doesn't believe in erasing the past. If nothing else, the past can be used to guide the future by preventing the repetition of mistakes, a lesson he'd had to learn the hard way.
How does your character influence their own story? What about the stories of others? Azmuth is honestly his own worst enemy, particularly when his emotions carry him away. In the stories of others, he has in the past been an antagonist such as when he initially refused to stop the prototype Omnitrix from triggering Big Bang 2.0 due to his own hopelessness in the goodness of the people in his universe. However, most recently he has served as the leader of his people along with a mentor to Ben Tennyson. Still, that latter relationship isn't a one-way street: Ben has renewed hope in Azmuth and has in the past helped ground him to refocus when getting lost in his own head.
Are you alright with your character’s canon being used as a Recommended Reading?: Absolutely! Though you'll be catching up on Ben 10 (the classic series), Ben 10: Alien Force, Ben 10: Ultimate Alien, and Ben 10: Omniverse so hope you have time!

Powers and Abilities:
Inventory:
Standard Galvan Abilities
- Small Size
- Height is five inches tall, making him prey to just about every predator out there
- Flexible Bones
- Allow him to squeeze into tight spaces to hide
- Machine Expertise
- Can quickly analyze machinery to determine its purpose and how to modify it even if he's never seen it before. Can also use what's on hand (such as pocket change and belt buckles) to either improvise or repair devices. However, there is also a chance of miscalculation such as overestimating the capabilities of upgrading a degraded piece of technology.
- Amphibious Nature
- Can breathe underwater in addition to breathing on land.
- Froglike Traits
- Like Earth frogs, he also has microscopic sticky pads all over his body that allow him to cling to various surfaces, a layer of slime which makes him difficult to grab, and a long sticky tongue which allows him to catch insects.
- Agility
- Quite agile for his size, his body is better used for evading rather than head-on fighting. Able to jump Ben Tennyson's teenage height in a single leap.
- Sharp Teeth
- Can give a nasty bite.
- Longevity
- Galvans can live for thousands of years but are not immortal.
- Nervous System Manipulation
- Able to assess a living being and be able to strike at pressure points to force the creature to back off, maybe force it into different directions, or cause part of its body to go temporarily numb. However, he needs physical contact to do so and he can only affect nerves close to the surface of the skin. If there isn't a potentially-exposed nerve cluster, he can poke all he wants and do nothing more than annoy his target.
- Dual Brains
- All Galvans have both a pre-brain and a primary brain which work independently of one another. The pre-brain handles all basic bodily functions along with some speech. This frees up the primary brain to use all its resources when working on a problem. This also means that if the primary brain is damaged or removed, a Galvan can still survive though in a severely-limited capacity.
Azmuth-Specific Abilities
- Incredibly-Advanced Intellect
- Azmuth is confirmed to be the smartest being in five galaxies. He's capable of creating and building level 20 technology like the Omnitrix and Ascalon along with building artificial planets. Azmuth doesn't see things on a multiversal level but an omniversal one. However, this doesn't make him all-knowing so he can and has made mistakes.
