Class Skills:
-Mad Enhancement (A+): When activated, this skill transforms Nihilus into an unstoppable force of destruction, driven by an insatiable hunger for Force energy. At this exalted rank, Mad Enhancement amplifies Nihilus's combat capabilities to extraordinary levels, vastly increasing his strength, speed, and resilience. He becomes a whirlwind of devastation, capable of overwhelming his opponents with sheer ferocity and power.
However, this immense boost in combat prowess comes at a significant cost. The activation of Mad Enhancement strips away Nihilus's sanity, reducing him to a berserker state consumed by primal instincts and an unquenchable thirst for power. In this state, he loses the ability to strategize or communicate effectively, driven solely by his need to feed on Force energy and destroy everything in his path.
The longer Nihilus remains under the influence of Mad Enhancement, the more pronounced these effects become, making it increasingly difficult for him to distinguish friend from foe. His single-minded pursuit of Force energy makes him a relentless and terrifying adversary, but also a danger to allies and innocents caught in his rampage.
Overall, Mad Enhancement (A+) epitomizes the dual-edged nature of Nihilus's power, offering unparalleled combat strength at the cost of his sanity and control. This skill makes him a formidable, yet unpredictable and dangerous force on the battlefield, capable of wreaking havoc with little regard for anything other than his insatiable hunger.
Personal Skills:
-Force Drain (EX): Nihilus possesses the extraordinary ability known as Force Drain, ranked at EX, which allows him to consume and absorb the Force energy of living beings on a massive scale. This ability is central to his identity as a powerful Force-sensitive entity and Sith Lord, defining his very existence and insatiable hunger.
At this exalted rank, Force Drain enables Nihilus to siphon the life force from individuals, groups, or even entire planets, leaving nothing but desolation in his wake. The energy he absorbs not only sustains him but also amplifies his own power to unparalleled levels. This process can instantly drain the life force from his targets, rendering them lifeless husks and further augmenting his dark powers.
Nihilus's mastery of Force Drain is so profound that it transcends the typical limitations of the ability. He can extend his influence across vast distances, drawing in the Force energy from beings who are not in his immediate vicinity. This makes him a relentless predator of life and a dire threat to any living being within his reach.
The sheer potency of Force Drain at EX rank means that Nihilus can sustain his existence indefinitely by continuously feeding on the Force energy of others. This has allowed him to survive through sheer consumption, becoming more of a Force phenomenon than a traditional Sith Lord. His insatiable hunger drives him to seek out and devour any source of life energy, perpetuating his cycle of destruction.
Overall, Force Drain (EX) epitomizes Nihilus's terrifying power and his role as a devourer of life. It marks him as a singularly dangerous entity in the galaxy, whose very presence spells doom for entire civilizations.

-Hunger for Power (A+): This defining skill encapsulates Nihilus's insatiable thirst for Force energy and his relentless pursuit of greater power. At an A+ rank, Hunger for Power significantly enhances Nihilus's abilities, directly correlating with the amount of Force energy he consumes.
As Nihilus absorbs Force energy through his Force Drain ability, his overall power amplifies exponentially. This enhancement affects all aspects of his combat and Force capabilities, including his strength, speed, resilience, and proficiency with the dark side of the Force. The more energy he devours, the more formidable he becomes, turning him into an ever-growing threat on the battlefield.
Hunger for Power not only boosts Nihilus's physical and Force abilities but also sharpens his instincts and reflexes, making him an even more dangerous and unpredictable adversary. This skill drives him to seek out and consume ever greater quantities of Force energy, perpetuating his cycle of growth and destruction.
The relentless nature of this hunger ensures that Nihilus is never satiated, always striving for more power and domination. This unending quest for energy makes him an unstoppable force, constantly evolving and adapting as he absorbs the life force of those around him.

It underscores his identity as a dark force of nature, whose power knows no bounds and whose insatiable thirst drives him to consume all life in his path. This skill makes him a relentless and ever-escalating threat, capable of overwhelming any opposition through sheer force of will and voracious consumption of the Force.
-Master Duelist (B): This skill underscores Nihilus's prowess in lightsaber combat and dueling techniques, showcasing his formidable abilities despite any physical limitations. At this rank, Master Duelist reflects Nihilus's exceptional skill and mastery with a lightsaber, making him a dangerous adversary capable of holding his ground and prevailing in close-quarters combat.
Nihilus's lightsaber technique is marked by precision, speed, and a deep understanding of the art of dueling. He can effectively counter and exploit the weaknesses of his opponents, using his refined techniques to dominate in one-on-one battles. His ability to anticipate and react to his enemies' moves allows him to maintain control during duels, striking with lethal accuracy and efficiency.

Noble Phantasm:
-Name: World Rend: Devourer of Worlds
-Rank: EX
-Type: Anti-World
-Ability: Nihilus manifests his ultimate power through the Noble Phantasm *World Rend: Devourer of Worlds*, a cataclysmic ability that channels his insatiable hunger to consume the Force energy of entire planets. This devastating ability not only renders the physical world desolate but also disrupts the Force itself within the affected area, making it challenging for Force-sensitive individuals to wield their power.
*Capabilities*
Upon activation, Nihilus unleashes a cosmic event of unparalleled devastation:
**Force Consumption: Nihilus' hunger for the Force is unleashed on a planetary scale. He draws in the life force and energy from all living beings on the planet, leaving behind a barren, lifeless wasteland. This consumption is so thorough that even the ambient Force energy within the area is disrupted and diminished.
**Cataclysmic Desolation: The physical destruction accompanying this event is immense. The planet's surface is ravaged by seismic upheavals, atmospheric disturbances, and violent energy surges. Cities crumble, oceans evaporate, and landscapes are left in ruin as the planet itself succumbs to Nihilus' hunger.
**Force Disruption: In the aftermath of *World Rend: Devourer of Worlds*, the Force within the affected area becomes unstable and difficult to access. Force-sensitive individuals find their abilities significantly weakened or completely nullified, making it a struggle to tap into their powers.
Limitations and Considerations: While the power of *World Rend: Devourer of Worlds* is nearly unparalleled, it requires a significant amount of preparation and concentration to activate. Nihilus must focus his will and draw upon vast reserves of dark energy to initiate the cataclysm. Additionally, the use of such a power can leave Nihilus temporarily weakened, as the immense energy expenditure takes a toll even on his formidable strength.
Activation: As the stars above darken and a chilling silence falls over the planet, Nihilus, the Devourer, stands at the epicenter of an impending cataclysm. With a slow, deliberate motion, he raises his hand, and an ominous, otherworldly aura envelops him, signaling the activation of his Noble Phantasm, *World Rend: Devourer of Worlds*.
The ground beneath begins to tremble, and the air grows heavy with a palpable sense of dread. Nihilus' hollow gaze pierces through the fabric of reality, reaching into the heart of the planet itself. A massive, swirling vortex of dark energy forms above him, extending tendrils of insatiable hunger towards the heavens.
Force Consumption: The tendrils of dark energy latch onto the planet's surface, drawing in the life force of every living being in a wide radius. The energy flows towards Nihilus, who absorbs it with an unquenchable thirst. The vibrant landscape rapidly withers, turning into a desolate wasteland as the very essence of life is siphoned away.
Cataclysmic Desolation: As the Force energy is drained, the planet itself reacts violently. Massive earthquakes shatter the ground, fissures open up, and volcanic eruptions spew molten rock into the sky. Oceans boil away, leaving behind dry, cracked earth. The sky darkens with ash and dust, and the once-thriving world is reduced to ruins.
Force Disruption: In the aftermath, the area is left in a state of utter desolation. The Force, once a source of power and connection, becomes erratic and unstable. Force-sensitive individuals feel their abilities wane, their connection to the Force severed or greatly diminished. The very air seems to resist the flow of the Force, leaving them vulnerable and weakened.
Nihilus stands amidst the devastation, his power resonating with the echoes of the consumed energy. The activation of *World Rend: Devourer of Worlds* has rendered the planet a barren husk, its life and Force energies absorbed into the insatiable void that is Nihilus' hunger.
