The Leviathan



The Leviathan(リバイアサン Ribaiasan) is an ancient beast of the seas, originating from Jewish folklore and different versions of Christian Mythology. He is one of the few beings sought as a potential threat to the Biblical God in the Christian or any other mythological pantheon for the matter.

Appearance
The Leviathan is generally described by many Hewbrew followers as a gigantic serpant, lurking deep in the Red Sea. Others believe he is a huge sea worm or perhaps a variation of the legendary Kraken, who hunts down foreign invaders(i.e. non-Jews who try to invade the lands of Israel by crossing the Red Sea).

Truthfully, the Leviathan is the mix of many kinds of marine life, all infused with magic, making a singular 'all-powerful' sea beast. Mortals and even some weaker supernatural races are unable to fully comprehand its visage, so all they see is just its shade. The Leviathan's features are both snake-like, kraken-resembling and with fish-like structure, making all three depictions of its appearance true.

Sometimes, the Leviathan may appear as a tall, lean and well-built man with long spikey black hair resembling a Goku's Super Saiyan 3 hair style. He has red eyes (initially portrayed as green) with slitted dark pupils, and has no visible eyebrows.

His usual outfit consists of a shabby, black, sleeveless tunic with studded edges, a studded belt around his waist, loose, beige pants tucked inside studded black boots, and a pair of studded brown gloves paired with similarly studded wristbands. He also sports a distinctive wing-like ornament, seemingly made of feathers, jutting upwards, over his right shoulder, attached to his tunic by a large stud.

Personality
While he was initially a mindless force of destruction, kind of like the Trihexa, after suffering from two brutal defeats(one from the Behemoth and the other from the Biblical God), the Leviathan has learnt to be more patient, albeit still tents to go wild from times to times.

Throughout history however, the Leviathan's personality has had quite a lot of changes. As he observed the progress of Life on Earth, his expression on the beings around him changed drastically. He no longer found joy in mindlessly destroying and slaying life, but instead only did it to increase his influence and power.

The Leviathan began to act more like a Chief Sea God than a powerful sea beast, as he helped the new generations of marine life, got rid of the sick ones who could potentially infect others of their kind and hunted down poachers. And before he knew it, he had changed from a terrifying sea beast to a neutrally-benevolent(still a bit malevolent) overseer of the oceans.

Even so, the Leviathan's main goal still remains: To kill both his rival- the Behemoth and the God from the Bible.

Origin
The Levithan's origin dates back to the Great Flood. Angered by the sinful state of humanity and ashamed from even creating them in the first place, God summons a massive flood that "shalt cover even the tallest of mountains and drown every life on Earth". Likewise with Samael's Curse, the embers of God's wrathful energy manifest in a physical incarnation once again, creating what is known as The Leviathan. Due to being born from embers of the negative energy of God and the water element, the Leviathan to heart is a dangerous force of nature that any mortal and non-deity should fear greatly, even if he can supress those urges.

Rivalry with the Behemoth
After the Great Flood, the Leviathan, unsurprisingly, goes on a mindless rampage, destroying everything he sees, killing every being he gets his 'hands' on and causing massive storms, typhoons, tsunamis and tornados, throughout the whole Earth. It pretty much plunged the world into a nigh-Apocalyptic state. With most gods either being too scared or too disinterested to face him, the Leviathan managed to terrorize the Earth for at least a decade, until the Biblical God interfered. Noticing its immense power and the threat it posed to his creations, the Bibilical God manipulated a chain of events, so that the infamously legendary Behemoth will come face-to-face with the Leviathan.

Upon meeting with his supposed 'opposite', the Leviathan immediately goes on the offensive and so does his foe. The two powerful monsters fought in the shores of Africa, completely decimating some of the continent's eastern landmark and shores. Their battle was long, brutal, savage and the effect it had on the world could be felt even in the North and South Poles.
