Dark Ruiner Xavius
Lore: "After many tirals in the Nexus, Xavius finally managed to bridge The Nexus to the Emerald Nightmare and made a breach great enough for his master N'zoth to seep his darkness into the realm. For this atrocity, Xavius was granted a boon from his dark master: A set of armor, briming with void power, crafted from the flesh and carapace from his fallen breathren, C'thun and Yogg-Saron.He also recieved a necklace containing a portion of the strongest Old God power: Y'shaarj. Armed with new power and armament, N'zoth gave Xavius a new task: Create a ripple great enough not just for his corruption and minions but himself aswell."

Design: Xavius normal red aura and particles have a tint of dark purple void energy added to it aswell. His Shade form possesses a combination of C'thun eyes and coiled tentacles around his arms. His lower body has Yogg-Saron maws surrounding the diffrent pieces of armor. He also posseses a necklace that has a ebon chain with a dark void crystal in the center containing the last blood drop of Y'shaarj. His true form has the same features but also has Sha like black and white effects on him and the other armor pieces become greater and more active.

High Councillor Xavius
Lore:"After starting the Burning Legions invasion of Azeroth, Xavius started to open many more portals to bolster the demonic forces invading but his reckless usage of portals caused a rift within his study, sending him to the Nexus. He must now search for a way back so he can save his queen and his demonic overlord Sargeras"

Effects: His abilities gain a more arcanic apperance.
Q: Nightmare bolt looks like a ball of arcane energy.
w: Rip uses a arcane sword illusion instead.
E: Induced Paranoia looks like a arcane rune and adds will be changed with different versions of arcane and demon beings(Applies to his Empowered E as well).
(Nightmare Horror = Arcane Elemental)

Nightmare Embrace looks like his first satyr form but more demonic with fel pouring out of him and demonic wings. All ablities look almost the same as normal but has fel color and his Q and E has Legion like textures.

Apocalyptic Nightmare looks like large arcane meteors.

His passive looks like an arcane cloud below his corpse and his phantom form looks like his skins base form but larger and arcane transparent.
Design:Sorry for big pictures. Note: I don't own this picture all credit goes to the original designer.

Humorous lines
I am the Lord of nightmares.
I will be your end.
Stop poking me.
I mean it, imbecile.
I am so glad i decided on the moniker Nightmare Lord and not Darkness Incarnate. Thats a lawsuit just waiting to happen. Gul'dan paying that price now.
Let have quick recap of the stages of my life so far: I have been a Elf, I have been Satyr filled with Fel then I was a tree filled with the old gods powers and now I am a Satyr filled with old god power. What a roundabout life i have had.
Does the nails in my feet hurt? Not as much as the on in my tongue! Seriously. Why do kids do this?
I have to admit i was quite smitten with Queen Azshara when I was her advisor but Varo'then kept threating me about how she was his and nobody elses. What a fool. I could have destroyed him with one hand tied behind my back even back then.
What's it like working for the Void lords and the Old Gods? All things considered, not terrible but not great. I mean, you get to meet alot of new people but all of them are obsessed about the end of the world. Like geez, i want the end too but i don't go around shouting it at the top of my lungs.

AoE Lane Pusher Build

Mixes Rip and Induced Paranoia talents to help push up minion waves and towers.

1: Corruption Hunger. Reason: Grants Nightmare Horrors a nice damage increase and neglects the enemy from producing substasial damage.
2: Nightmare Ravager. Reason: Gives a nice AoE pet to combo with Rip to clear waves and to multi-damage towers faster.
3: Mana Siphon. Reason: Mana regen is always welcome within a Xavius build due to his high costs and low mana regen.
4: Apocalyptic Nightmare. Reason: Gives alot more AoE and solid damage potenital
5: Rip and Tear. Reason: This, combined with Mana Siphon gives not only more wave clear but also more mana regen.
6: Lord of the Satyr. Reason: Gives stronger pets which have stronger ranged abilities.
7: All-consuming Darkness. Reason: Produces large pools of damage under blast zones for more AoE damage and the bilnd effect allows him to set up combos on unexpecting foes.

Team Destruction Build

More focused on a Assassin style of play, this build is more focused on damage and bypassing the mana issues with the characters.
