Akuma

Series Origin: Miraculous Ladybug and Chat Noir
General Details?: An akuma is a magical butterfly, released with the goal of possessing an important object belonging to a person who feels strong negative emotions. When the akuma does this, a telepathic connection is formed between the object's owner and Hawkmoth, current wielder of the Butterfly Miraculous and Big Bad of the Miraculous User Origin. The person empowered by the akuma is at this point "akumatized", taking on the persona and abilities of a supervillain influenced by the source of their strong negative emotions. Hawkmoth promises all those who have been possessed by the akuma the ability to maintain their power and achieve their goals if they will bring him the Miraculous that belong to Cat Noir and Ladybug.
General Abilities?: Akumatized people possess a variety of abilities and appearances, based uniquely on the strong negative emotions that allowed Hawkmoth to akumatize them. The stronger the emotion, the more powerful the supervillain created by the akuma. The limit of the abilities of an akumatized victim lies within the power of their emotion; the abilities should match the goal of the akumatized victim.

• Example: In 444/Gacha Goners RHA Teacher Shouta Okamoto is akumatized based on the strength of his frustration with a gacha game. This transforms him into the villain Highroller, who has the power to digitize people into game currency to fuel his gacha games.

How Are They Defeated?: As the akuma is what empowers the akumatized victim, destroying the object possessed by the akuma will release the akuma and cause the transformation to end. However, if the akuma is not purified, it may be directed by Hawkmoth to either possess another person or return to it's host and possess another object, transforming them once more. To ensure the danger is ended, the possessed object must be destroyed and'; the akuma either captured or purified. Once purified, the akuma will transform from a purple-black butterfly to one that is pure white and fly away.
Restrictive Factors: All akuma are sent by Hawkmoth aka Gabriel Agreste. If Hawkmoth is being currently played, the player should be consulted prior to an akuma scene being run.
Special Details: If the akuma is purified by Ladybug, the damage caused by the akumatized victim and the damage to the possessed object will be undone.
