Pitch Black

"I may be the Boogeyman, I may be the embodiment of all fears, I may be the Darkness that hides under a poor child's bed or in their closet, and I may be a monster. But I am not without a heart, I am not without compassion, and I am most certainly not without emotion."

- Pitch Black

Overview
Of all the stories, myths, and legends told throughout history, one of the most prominent and well known of these is the legend of a shadowy creature known as The Boogeyman; a terrifying spirit said to haunt the dreams of sleeping individuals and turn good dreams into horrifying nightmares. This dark adversary is known as the Pitch Black, the Darkness, and Fear Incarnate by the Supernatural World and many question whether he is truly alive at all. But the title that Pitch likes the most is The Network, in reference to the fact that fear is widespread, like a network. Many beings far and wide shake in fear of this living horror and is said to be the offspring of darkness and death itself; at least, that is what is said, though Pitch Black was actually born from the Void, like Ophis; while Ophis was born from the Infinite Void, Pitch Black was conceived from the Darkness of the Void. He is said to be the third strongest existence after Ophis and Great Red.

Appearance
In his human form, Pitch Black looks like a teen with messy, jet-black hair and onyx eyes, which themselves seem to be devoid of all life, pale skin, and a well-built body. While sometimes wearing the Kuoh Academy school uniform, Pitch is mainly seen wearing a white dress shirt under a black sweater and slacks with brown dress shoes. He also wears rectangular glasses despite his perfect eye sight.

When Pitch activates his power, the whites of his eyes turn black and his black eyes turn into small glowing white pupils.

When donning his first form, he is seen as a dark, roughly humanoid silhouette seemingly made of shifting energy, with glowing eyes. When assuming the mantle of his true and pure form, Pitch Black grows in size, being much taller than everyone and towers over his adversaries. His true form is revealed to be a demonic, horned being with thin, skeletal limbs, a flowing mane or shadow and spines emerging from his torso. He also has large shadowy wings that were once mistaken as Fallen Angel wings by Raynare, her accomplices, Rias Gremory, and Sona Sitri.

Personality
Despite being the incarnation of fear and despair, Pitch is a very humble person and will go out of his way to help others when he can. He is sometimes seen sleeping under a bed, in a closet, or any place that is dark. His nature as the Boogeyman also means that Pitch, while in battle or when dealing with an enemy, is more sadistic and brutal than even Akeno Himejima. When fighting opponents, Pitch often taunts them and revels in the fear and torment of those he hates.

It is also shown that Pitch can be very manipulative and can turn any argument or battle in his favor.

Abilities
Pitch Black's power, like the Void, is infinite and everlasting, since he himself was born from the Void's Darkness. Many consider him to be the 'brother' or 'sibling' of Ophis.

Powers of Shadow and Darkness: Pitch has various shadow powers, such as traversing great distances through shadows and darkness; he can literally become a shadow, and affect the physical world by interacting with other shadows. Pitch is also able to

Fear: Pitch is able to know someone's worst fear with but a glance, which he often uses to break the spirits of his enemies. He also has the ability to literally turn into that fear, whatever it may be. For example, if Pitch wished, he could turn into a camel due to Rias Gremory's fear of camels, he can turn into a holy sword because of Kiba Yuuto's trauma, and so on. He was even able to turn into God of the Bible when confronting Kokabiel. Since this is his most cruel power, Pitch refrains from using it on his friends when in spars.

Immense Physical Strength and Endurance: Pitch is incredibly strong and is able to take an attack from a Dragon King head on without flinching or taking any sort of damage.

Immense Speed: Pitch is far faster than even most deities, dragons, Archangels, and Satans.

Flight: Using his own wings, Pitch, even in his human form, his capable of flight.

Weaknesses
Though Pitch is powerful, he carries a weakness to light or holy objects, like Devils. The only being, besides Ophis or Great Red, that was said to be able to fight Pitch Black to a standstill was God Himself.

While Pitch is powerful, his power derives from the fears and traumas of living beings, so if living beings were to stop experiencing fear, Pitch's power would most definitely weaken.

One personal weakness of his is that Pitch hates bright places, as such, he is somewhat sluggish when moving around. Though this is not triggered if one just shines a light in his face, but really if he is exposed to the Sun. This was fixed when he fashioned himself a hood with his sweater.

Pitch also hates it when people make fun of his name, such as when he brutally punched the Perverted Duo in the gut when they both called him 'Bitch Black' in their anger towards him for attracting girls. This is evidence to Pitch's anger management problem.

Summary
Pitch Black, having found the Void boring after several centuries of being there when retreating from the Dark Age, entered the realm of Earth and assumed a human form, wanting to experience what Earth was like and was greatly overjoyed with the many things to do on this Earth besides haunting children. However, he was quite wary of the other Supernatural beings that would no doubt sense his overwhelming power, thus he suppressed it. After a few agonizing years, Pitch was finally able to have his own home in Kuoh Town while also enrolling himself in Kuoh Academy as a second year student, wanting to learn more about the human world.

Trivia
Pitch Black's character is derived from Pitch Black of the movie Rise of the Guardians.

Pitch Black's two forms and name 'Network' are both derived from Network, the main antagonist of the franchise Armed With Wings.
