Demiurgos

Demiurgos (also referred to as Demiurge) is a powerful and shadowy deity that is the final boss of the RPG Maker 2000 game Nepheshel, converted into Mugen by D using custom-made sprites.

Background
Demiurgos (Δημιουργός) is an Ancient Greek word whose definition means "craftsman", a term that in the past used to signify those who had unique abilities and played a key role in society. Many ages later, the definition of the word came to refer to a deity or creator of the sorts.

In Plato's dialogue Timaeus, the Demiurgos is referred to as the sole deity responsible for the creation of the physical universe. A benevolent being, he sought to create a good and perfect world. However, because the Demiurgos had little material to work with, the world remained imperfect despite his positive intentions.

In Gnosticism, many sects portray the Demiurgos as a vain and incompetent entity who created the material world against the will of the Supreme Being, forming a spiritual prison in the process. In contrast with other Gnostic sects, Valentinians see the Demiurgos as a being of good intentions who grieves over the world's corrupt state despite his ignorance in believing himself to be the one Supreme Being.

Gameplay
Demiurgos is a rather challenging character to play as for the uninitiated. His diverse movepool, along with a majority of said moves being OTG, grants him incredible combo potential, but requires a good amount of dexterity and dedication to masterfully pull off. Demiurgos also has plenty of wide-range and fullscreen attacks, allowing him to fight from afar should he must, and are well suited towards taking down airborne opponents. But of course, where Demiurgos truly shines is through his combos. Once he's got an opponent caught in a combo, he's capable of dealing devastating damage towards them if he's able to keep it up for long enough. It also helps that his damage output is above-average, making his attacks all the more threatening.

His specials must be executed carefully, however. Some of them utilize his own body, increasing his hitbox and leaving him vulnerable if blocked, and they don't exactly have the best of recoveries. What's more, if an opponent is quick and bold enough, they can stuff right through some of them before they hit.
