Den

"I don't fight much. That said, I guess I could have some fun today. I warn you, though, things can get pretty chaotic." - Fight dialogue

Description
Den is a 22 year old wanderer who wears a purple hoodie and black jeans, though it may vary. He has purple hair with a streak of pink. His face is covered by a mask made out of an unknown material, with no holes visible and entirely black, unable to be lit up by normal means. He normally keeps his hair out of his eyes because it's no good if you don't use both.

Den's personality tends to be carefree and laid back, cracking jokes and helping himself to food. He occasionally has violent outbursts and distant moments, but it should be pretty easy to spot if you know the signs. He seems to be depressed and hopeless, but he still doesn't let that get in the way of being cheerful and acts like nothing's wrong. He prefers not to fight due to laziness. He keeps secret when it comes to his origins or himself.

He tends to know more then he lets on and never seems to get surprised when something big happens. To most people, he'd seem like a normal human that was oblivious to everything going wrong. He tends to wander and be in the background, though. He continuously states that his motives for why he does what he does is to 'just have fun'. Whether this is his true motive or if he really has any at all, is unknown.

Den is much more bloodthirsty and violent then he cares to show. He complains about 'not ever getting a challenge' and will use his knife to cut into the walls or floor. He does not appear to have any moral standing, seeming to just do what he wants unless if the person tends to be important to him or someone he cares about.

History
It's currently unknown where Den's origins specifically lie, but common beliefs are he decided to check out the mountain after hearing the rumours, having nothing left to lose but his life shortly after Asriel died. He fell into the Underground, hoping the fall would kill him. Instead, he found himself in the Underground.

He would live in the shadows, watching live go on and following fallen humans on their journey. It was around when he was 16 did he finally come out of the shadows. He would work on weaponry and magic, even opening a small blacksmith shop before it was shut down. He had enough to live for a few years until he had to resort to thievery.

Stats
HP: 7,520

AT: Varies

DF: Varies

Equipment:
Cracked knife - Den's melee weapon of choice. Sharp enough to cut through metal and corrodes materials on contact. Den is able to throw it like a boomerang, which it makes a loop and returns to his hand. He can call it back to him if taken, too.

Empty Mask - His mask. Absorbs any hits directed towards it and covers his face entirely. Any other person who wears it can get horribly shifted, so it's advised not to. Den rarely takes it off. It stores projectiles and can fire them back later, through the mask.

Clothing - Normal clothes. Don't provide any extra defense, although it's rare to see Den put on anything that would.

Battle
Den tends to stick to melee, cutting randomly and darting around. He tends to fatally strike when least expected. He's unnaturally fast, being able to dodge attacks easily. He can steal your own weapons and use them against you, so you have to be alert. It's quite easy to counterattack him if you know his moves beforehand.

Imitation
With the mask on, Den has the ability to imitate any previously met character. When he does this, his abilities and stats shift to match them, save for HP and the ones listed here.

Absorb
Den can absorb magic with the use of his mask, which glows and then absorbs any magic near. It can then fire them back, with slight increased power.

Transformation
Den, without the mask, can seemingly take his eyes out and transform into a 7'6 beast. The beast is immensely strong and can bend metal easily. It's teeth can grind through bone and it's claws could puncture a skull. Den has little control of it, and could be trapped within it for days.

Teleportation
Den has the ability to teleport, often using it to appear in places unreachable on foot or scare people.

Pockets
Den can just pull whatever he wants out of his pockets. He normally uses it to pull out things in the worst of situations.

ACTs
Talk, Hug, Steal, Return

Weaknesses
Love - He's reluctant to fight if the person is someone he cares about and can be easily taken out after that.

Paralysis - Den relies on dodging to survive when not imitating, so if you take out his legs he's pretty much screwed.
