Summary[]
Ta-Thoth is an antagonist in story of Collapse, being a member of the Abyssal Court. He is the oldest out of all of those in the court itself and is a warrior from an ancient time. Although he had joined the Abyssal Court, it was for the sole purpose of finding stronger opponents to fight, as what he truly wishes is a great and honorable fight. As such, he doesn't truly care for what the Court does in the first place. Motivated by only his own wishes, he can often act out of line, and is generally referred to as the strongest member.
Appearance[]
Ta-Thoth takes on a hulking and monstrous appearance, standing over 6 feet tall with impressive musculature. His form is often seen as intimidating and many fall before him in fear. With bright red eyes and spiky brown hair, he is often equated to an anime protagonist. But when he gets invested in a fight, his eyes become blood-red and his hair spikes up even more, something akin to like a super saiyan.
Wearing a red headband and a red sleeveless jacket over a rather tight black undershirt, he definitely resembles someone from another game. Still, he doesn't seem to care and fully embraces his role as such a character from the game, frankly just enjoying the absolute chaos and beautiful music of such. So, he decides to complete his get-up with white jeans and a whole load of belts, some even holding onto gold engravings.
Personality[]
If it wasn't clear enough, Ta-Thoth is a being solely devoted to the absolute concept of combat and war. He is quite chaotic himself, being someone full of energy and no one can frankly hold a leash on him. He doesn't care for what the Court does or even why The Rebels are trying to stop it, only fighting them because he wants to. As such, there is only one sole ambition Ta-Thoth is moving towards, a good and honorable fight. It is one of the reasons why he often hates the other members of the Abyssal Court, as he thinks many of them are too absorbed into scheming and trickery. Still, as a man from older times, he can often spit out random words of wisdom, even if he is unaware of such.

Attack Potency: Dwarf Star Level (Kicked the Earth out of orbit and made it move at 20% the speed of light, casting it out of the solar system [6.06 x 10^39 J])
Speed: FTL, possibly Immeasurable (Capable of keeping up with Nakano and could even blitz her reactions upon multiple occasions. Could dodge the chains of Möbius and Nyarlathotep admitted they would never be able to reach him, despite such being able to move throughout time and space)
Lifting Strength: At least Stellar (Could lift and throw the moon that had the relativistic mass of a star, and stated that he could make it even heavier if he or Nakano wished it so)
Striking Strength: Dwarf Star Class
Durability: Dwarf Star Level
Stamina: Infinite. As an Elder God, Ta-Thoth no longer has any need or requirement for sustenance, only experiencing the illusion of such.
Range: Several Meters with Dýnami, Inter-Planetary with abilities (His abilities could span over the entire solar system in an alternate universe)
- Dýnami: His most common and loved weapon, summoned by his own existence. Dýnami is a large and hulking blade that is bigger than even his own body. It is a wonder how he can wield such a thing with ease. Summoning it into existence quite literally breaks the laws of physics, and it's special property is tied to Ta-Thoth's own Presence, nullifying any defensive abilities that he deems as 'dishonourable.'
Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (In terms of pure combatative skill, he is unmatched and Nakano was required, if not outright forced, to undergo another upsurge in emotions to keep up with his skill. In his skill, he has fought and beat opponents that have trained for eons, and has trained himself for millennia, if not more. He is regarded as the most skilled martial artist and weaponmaster in the entirety of the world and is capable of learning essentially anything based on combat through just glances alone)
Standard Tactics: Ta-Thoth is a man of honor and discipline, and because of this, he only uses his Presence to make the fight "fair". Although this is indeed used at the start of the fight, this is only to avoid any type of "dishonourable" tactics, such as illusions, warping the battlefield, or controlling his body. From there, he fights physically, always getting in front of his opponent's face and clashing with them head-on. As long as the opponent respects him and his wishes, then he will do the same. Always seeking stronger and stronger opponents, he will allow chances for his foe to power themselves up and reach their full power for the sake of the fight.
Weaknesses: As an Elder God, he only witnesses the illusion of humanity. Seeks a great fight and allows his opponents to go up to their full power. Being a member of the Abyssal Court, he is tied to Nyarlathotep and his wishes. If Nyarlathotep dies, then so will he. Does not use his status as a Monitor whatsoever.
- Kicked the Earth outside of the solar system, making it move at 20% the speed of light by a casual attack.
- Nakano was required, if not outright forced, to go under another upsurge of emotions to match his pure skill.
- Is the only recorded Elder God that has refused Nyarlathotep's commands.
- Could dodge Möbius' chains and made Nyarlathotep admit they could never catch him, even with the ability to move throughout time and space.
- Could blitz members of the Abyssal Court with relative ease.
- Made the moon gain the relativistic mass of a star with his telekinesis.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Eldritch Physiology: After his ascension to an Elder God by Nyarlathotep, Ta-Thoth's physiology would change forever. Those who are Elder Gods are entities of immortal status, detached from the very concept of age itself. They transcend the Bindings of the world, participating in Nyarlathotep's own status and are dependent of the Outer God's existence to continue living. So long as Nyarlathotep persists, so too will they. Their true forms exist outside of the world itself, floating in the space of the Ultimate Void as infinitesmal sparks. Still, the powers of Elder Gods are enhanced to immense degrees, allowing them to do feats of chaos and destruction unlike any other.

Honor and Pride: The Presence of Ta-Thoth, Honor and Pride, is a rather impressive one. Although a Defensive type, his Presence allows him to negate any 'dishonourable' abilities and make it a universal law. This Presence is capable of negating any abilities that the wielder so desires, from reality alteration to Alternative Observation, this Presence simply nullifies them without regard. Still, it must be seen as 'dishonourable' in Ta-Thoth's eyes in order to be negated.
