His Good Ranking[]
His Heroic Deeds[]
- At the beginning, he used to be an anti-heroic extremist as he was mercilessly punishing individuals for unforgivable crimes, and used to have selfish and/or questionable ambitions. When he finally realized the errors of his ways, he eventually subverted all his negative traits and corrupting qualities, and started to be a more benevolent and wiser monarch to his people and reformed his imperial policies to be more focused on the welfare of every citizen throughout Stormland.
- Despite having a stoic personality, taking a no-nonsense approach and for having a strict failure-intolerance, he possesses an unconditional compassion for all life forms throughout Stormland and the Known Universe. And despite retaining his strict failure-intolerance, he always shows mercy to his subjects whenever they fail him, confirming that he genuinely cares for them, and is very forgiving and willing to give chances.
- Although he allows his people to worship him as a literal god, he demands that his Imperial Autotheism must be centered on the spiritual welfare of every citizen throughout Stormland.
- Despite that Emperor Garanoth is his archenemy, he doesn't hate him but is always prepared if he chooses to face him directly in duel. And despite that the Demons of Infernoland are his enemies, he doesn't hate them, and he believes that a Demon could be welcomed in his empire if he/she chooses to redeem himself/herself and betray Garanoth for good purposes.
- He frees tragic villains from the pain they have endure and offers them a chance for redemption. He is occasionally a scapegoat as he cruelly gets punished by ruthless and sadistic villains.
- Despite suffering paranoia, he never accuses anyone of treason without evidence, because it would make him no better. Despite being mentally ill, he is very aware of the reality around him.
- He has an unconditional love for his friends and family. And he has an unconditional loyalty for his empire and his citizens.
- Despite being an absolute monarch, he doesn't seek to control anyone as he respects and supports the freedom and autonomy as the rights of every citizen throughout Stormland. And he also consults with his people whenever they requested him for help. And despite that he still retains the slavery tradition, he established a slave policy that formally offers to all slaves absolute protection from abusive masters, confirming that he genuinely cares for them and treats them more as individuals than actual properties.
- Despite being literally the hegemonic Universal Emperor, he faithfully devotes himself in protecting the Known Universe from various threats, which makes him a benevolent hegemon.
- Despite not believing in Pacifism, he does his best to maintain peace and prosperity throughout Stormland and the Known Universe. And despite having the divine traits of a God of War, he never seeks war or any kind of conflict but he is always prepared for it, if his archenemy or any hostile civilization choose to wage war against him.
- Despite that he still commits homicide, they are mostly done in necessary circumstances in protecting the innocents, his friends and his allies from homicidal villains, and despite that he still retains his strict lethality, he never expresses any sadistic pleasure in doing so, and his lethality doesn't give him any corrupting quality. And he also follows a lethality code which establishes three important rules, the first rule is to never kill villains who fight with honor and respect, the second rule is to never kill innocents and civilians and the third rule is to never kill children.
- Although despite that he murdered his parents out of frustration and strict intolerance of their immaturities, he was deeply horrified of his ruthless act and remorsefully regret it in sadness and eventually honored their names by erecting a Byzantine Revival-style Imperial Shrine that would serve as their resting place.
- Throughout his successful campaigns against several hostile species, Secessionist movements and greater threats, he liberates countless worlds from tyranny and oppression.
- While despite having unlimited wealth in possession, he uses them to help others and fund several people and never for personal benefits or greedy purposes. And while despite literally possessing Omnipotence, he uses his unlimited powers to help others and never for personal benefits.
- Despite being very depressive and pessimistic, he always relies on his friends and allies to cheer him up whenever needed.
- Despite being occasionally vengeful, he understands that revenge is a powerful yet dangerous concept that will lead to Darkness, and does his best not to let vengeance corrupt him.
Why He Doesn't Stand Out?[]
- Despite subverting most of his negative traits and corrupting qualities and for being seriously good as well as having a strong and faithful dedication in protecting the Known Universe from various threats, he unfortunately fails the massive admirable standards of Paradisecraft, and due to retaining his lethality without any corrupting quality, this prevents him from being considered Pure Good, Near Pure Good or even potentially Inconsistently Admirable.
