[ASpawnofTyranny4GM] DARKSEID WAS! (Absolute DC)

Instead of being raised in paradise, they are raised in HELL.

And when I am HIM, I will return.

(TLDR; strange changeling cosmological lovechild of Darkseid and Superman discovers their place in the universe.)

Anybody else think of Dracula Flow when they see ‘...I am Him?’

Hey there. I'm a fairly experienced DC fan looking for somebody interested in an underdog story of sorts that takes place within the Absolute DC universe; our dog in question being the cosmological (street-level; fairly weak in strength) offspring of Darkseid that's given birth to once Darkseid ascends to new forms of godhood.

Our OC in question is, as I said, not a spectacularly powerful creature, and one that was forced to struggle just to survive in infancy. I've toyed around with many ideas, but the broad optics are that it's expected of them to attempt to carve out their own reasons for existing with the hope that they may one day inherit their unholy father's position as the Avatar of Tyranny & Death.

This is meant to lean heavily into the cosmology of DC and see things through a 'reasonable' villain's PoV, a velvety type whose powers aren't as epic or grand as some of the big hitters on either side.
