Design Description

Despite Dementia's tendency to alter his form into random creatures at a whim, he does have a "True" form that he claims to be his original - albeit not his first form.

Dementia's torso seems to be that of a large grey canine of some sort, although the type of dog mostly unidentifiable beyond being grey furred and large. His right arm is covered in feathers, while his left arm is made entirely of wood that seems to grow out of his body. His left leg is that of a black dragon, while his right is t... View More

Detailed Personality

If one was to try and describe Dementia in a single word, it would probably be "random". Dementia is ever changing, his mind shifting just as constantly as his body does, and mood swings are a common enough occurrence for him. One moment he could be happy, and the next he could be bawling his eyes out because of something or another, and then almost immediately calm down again and continue the conversation as if nothing had happened. Trying to pin down any concrete personality or emotional state... View More

Occupation

"I'm a Cosmic Janitor, and no, I wont explain what that is."

Hometown

"Not that you'll believe me, but I was born in Canterlot."

Education

Millennia of experience, backed by a curiosity to learn, has led Dementia to being quite the knowledgable individual. He's able to hold a constructive conversation with the likes of Starswirl the Bearded, and has more then once updated the spells of more modern ponies to a more efficient variety.

Detailed History

"Some things are far too personal and far, FAR too horrific to share with others. If I would hesitate to share with Celestia, why would I ever bother telling a mere stranger...."

Assets / Bits / Property

Dementia can conjure almost anything he desires, and thus owns many things.

Skills / Notable Talent(s)

Immortal - Dementia is immortal, although not in the sense that he cannot die. Rather, death has no permanent hold on him, and he tends to resurrect rather quickly upon death, even if his body has been completely destroyed.

Musician - Dementia can also play an extensive assortment of instruments, especially anything with strings involved.

Baking/Cooking - From cakes and pies to pastas and hayburgers, Dementia is a wizard in the kitchen, not even requiring his magic to create a masterpiece rivallin... View More

Spells

While Dementia has access to a Draconequus's natural talents and is generally considered to be powerful enough to fight an alicorn or three head on, the truth is far more interesting. In reality he is less powerful then many of the big hitters, having less raw magic then any of them. He makes up for it in his versatility and magic specialities, which he abuses to their maximum benefit. The list of his major advantages are as follows:

Expert Illusions - Dementia is a master of illusion, surpassing...

In reality he is less powerful then many of the big hitters, having less raw magic then any of them. He makes up for it in his versatility and magic specialities, which he abuses to their maximum benefit. The list of his major advantages are as follows:

Expert Illusions - Dementia is a master of illusion, surpassing even Trixie and Chrysalis both with his abilities to convince you to disbelieve reality. He often uses it to appear more powerful then he actually is, altering one's perception to see only what he wants them to see. Even the most powerful of spells have trouble breaking his illusions, although it isnt impossible to do. Merely extremely difficult.

Shapeshifting - Once more something Dementia has over Changelings, he has long since mastered the art of truly changing one's appearance to suit their needs. He is capable of becoming a myriad of different creatures and beings from all corners of the universe in an instant, and does so quite regularly while displaying an ease that would make any Changeling envious.

Mind Warping - The art of mental magic is usually a dark one, and for Dementia this is no different, although perhaps less dark than for most. Unlike Discord he can not "discordify" ponies, but rather uses a slower, more insidious method of alteration. Dementia is proficient at nudging both the subconscious and conscious, causing a being to gradually shift personality types. While this takes much longer compared to Discord, it is far more controlled and precise. Oddly enough, despite his proficiency in altering the mind as he sees fit, Dementia is not actually capable of reading thoughts.

Corruption Redirection - The ace of Dementia's magical card deck, Dementia has a passive ability that allows him to literally feed off of the instability of his environment. Whether magical or mundane, physical or mental, large or small, if it is corrupted or damaged in some way, Dementia can probably gain some form of power from it as long as it is nearby. The more corrupted it is, the better. Dementia can also sense how corrupted something or someone is, often able to judge in a moment, say, how much dark magic one is currently saturated in. This has saved his life more than once, and will surely save it many times more.
