Chara Dreemurr (StoryShift)

Action Resolute: If there are 8 or more creatures hostile to Chara (any creature that has an initiative counts towards this: pets, special summons, hirelings, etc), she gains a second initiative that slots in at approximately between half of the total players. This second initiative does not recharge legendary actions or other recharge abilities, counting more as an extension of the main turn or a 'minion' than its own turn. Unless otherwise stated by the ability.
Chara gains another initiative slot for every 4 hostile creatures beyond 8. All extra initiatives remain as a 'minion' turn and should be distributed in initiative as close to equal between other player's turns.

Special Condition: BLEED - Creatures under the effect of BLEED take 2d6 Damage (No Type) at the Start of their turn and again at the End of their Turn if the effect is still active.
Weapon Attacks, Single Target Spells/Abilities, or Knife Abilities made against a creature under the BLEED condition deal an additional 2d6 of damage for each successful hit.
BLEED can only be removed by healing at least 20HP in one single burst (spell, ability, potion, etc.), Greater Restoration, or a successful DC24 Medicine Check with a Healing Kit (This must utilize your Action). Combined healing from multiple sources that do less than 20HP each but add up to more than 20HP does not remove the BLEED condition.
Falling unconscious as a result of falling to 0HP does not remove the BLEED condition. If the BLEED Condition is active while you fall to 0HP, the DC for Death Saves increases to 12.
You do not take the extra damage from BLEED while at 0HP.

Note: (1ph)(2ph)(3ph) = 1st Phase, 2nd Phase, and 3rd Phase respectively. This labels what abilities/attacks have limits and can be used or are active based on what phase Chara is in. If it is not labeled with any phases, it is active for all 3 phases.

Phase 2 triggers at 666HP or lower - See Mythic Actions for a triggering special attack
Phase 3 triggers at 250HP or lower - See Mythic Actions for a triggering special attack
-Once a new phase is triggered, Chara will remain in that phase even if her HP recovers above the triggering threshold. The Mythic Action special attack only triggers once on initial phase change and does not trigger a second time.

Passives:

Demonic Resistance - 5x/Phase - If Chara fails a saving throw, she may choose to succeed instead.

(1-2ph) Foresight Dodge- All attack rolls against Chara are at Disadvantage. If something gives the attacker Advantage, such as flanking, abilities, spell effects, etc, the roll is made as a flat roll instead.

Uncanny Dodge- If a save is made to take half-damage, Chara takes no damage instead.

Impeccable Strikes- Chara is immune to effects that impose Disadvantage on their melee weapon attack rolls. If a melee attack roll is supposed to be made at disadvantage it is made as a flat roll instead.

Savage Critical- Chara automatically rolls max damage on Critical Hits. If the Critical Hit was from a melee weapon attack, it gains the BLEED effect. If it already has the BLEED effect, the attack deals an instant 24 Bonus Damage (no type).
(3ph) - The Bonus Bleed instant damage increases to 36.

Demonic Body- Chara is immune to polymorph or effects that would forcibly change her form against her will.
Chara is immune to instant Death effects or effects that would reduce her HP to 0 as a result of a failed save.

Demonic Sight- Chara's Truesight allows her to see normally while in magical darkness.

(2-3ph) Tactical Shift- If Chara hits a target with Slashing damage and that creature has immunity to it, she may change the damage type for all Knife based attacks and abilities to Force Damage when making any further attacks against that creature. This change does not apply to the first attack that hits a creature's immunity.

(2ph) Knife Storm- At the start of Phase 2, Chara will automatically summon spectral knives to swirl around her in a 15ft radius centered on her after her Phase 2 Mythic Action. Anytime a creature enters within 15ft of Chara and at the start of their turn while still within this radius, they must make a DC24 DEX Save or take (10) 2d8 Force Damage. Any creature in the effect radius when these knives are first summoned by the phase change trigger must make the save. These knives may also be used for other knife-based attacks and abilities, always respawning above her no matter how they are used. These knives can hit gaseous, incorporeal, or other non-solid state of form while remaining above her in this state or if used for "Knife Shot".
This ability does Not trigger by Chara's movement (including teleportation) forcing a creature into the radius. However, a creature starting their turn as a result of Chara's movement bringing the effect radius to them still must make the save at the start of their turn.

(3ph) Demonic Terror- At the start of Phase 3, Chara begins to emit a terrifying 30ft Demonic Aura. Creatures within this aura or entering it for the first time must make a DC24 Wisdom Saving throw. Taking (15) 4d6 Psychic Damage and becoming Frightened on failure. Half as much damage on success while avoiding the Frightened condition and becoming immune to the Frightened effect from this ability for 24 hours. A creature must repeat this saving throw at the start of its turn while within this aura.
Chara heals half of the damage done by this ability each time it triggers.
This ability does Not trigger by Chara's movement (including teleportation) forcing a creature into the radius. However, a creature starting their turn as a result of Chara's movement bringing the effect radius to them still must make the save at the start of their turn.
Chara absorbs all Necrotic Damage and heals by the amount of Necrotic damage dealt to her.
During this phase, Chara is classified as a Demon and takes any bonus damage dealt to demons by spells or abilities that specifically target them.
If the creature targeted by Chara's attacks or spells is Human, they take an additional die of damage for each damage type the attack deals.

(2-3ph) Karmic Vengeance- If Chara is subject to a Critical Hit by a Melee Weapon or Melee Spell Attack, she imposes a DC24 DEX Save on the attacker. On failure, the attacker takes half of the Damage dealt to Chara by the Critical Hit and inflicts BLEED upon them.

(3ph) But it Refused - Chara must be brought to 0HP by a single attack or spell that deals at least 25 or more damage. If an attack drops Chara to less than 25HP but more than 1HP, she instantly recovers to 25HP before the next attack is made.

These vines remain present for 1 minute or until dismissed. No more than 2 effect zones may be active at a time. Recasting a 3rd time moves the oldest location to the new location.
All creatures in the target area must make a DC24 DEX Save or they are restrained. Flying creatures restrained are drug to the ground, taking the appropriate fall damage in addition to the damage of this ability. On failure a creature takes 10d6 Bludgeoning + 6d6 Slashing Damage. Half as much on a success and avoid being restrained.
While restrained a creature may use their Action to make a DC24 Strength Saving Throw to break free. Failure or not breaking free results in taking the same damage and remaining restrained. 
These vines are considered difficult terrain, immune to all damage, and deal 6d6 Slashing Damage for every 5ft an unrestrained creature moves within the effect area. Creatures that start their turn within the effect zone must make a DC24 Dex Save or are grabbed, damaged, and restrained.
Creatures within 5ft of the effect zone, but not within, must make a DC20 Dex Save anytime they first enter next to the effect zone squares or start their turn still within the 5ft around the effect zone. On failure they are restrained and pulled 5ft into the cube. Taking 10d6 Bludgeoning + 6d6 Slashing Damage. No damage on a Successful Save.

Darkness Strikes - (4 Actions) Chara teleports up to 30ft to make a melee weapon attack against the target. +18 to Hit, 6d12 Force Damage. Whether the attack hits or misses, Chara then repeats the teleport and strike, choosing a different target each time, as many times as possible. A creature cannot be targeted twice within the same use of this ability. After all attacks are made and no other valid targets remain, Chara may then teleport 30ft to an unoccupied space.
(eg. Modified "Steel Wind Strike")

Shortcut - (1 Action - 1 use per Round) - Chara may instantly teleport herself to any location within 120ft, even through regular walls, and objects. The location does not have to be visible to Chara, but must be a location she has been to or seen in her lifetime and not sealed off completely by magic such as Wall of Force or Force Cage.

(2-3ph) Ruthless Slashes - (5 Actions) Chara makes a devastating spectral slash at all creatures within 200ft and not behind full cover. If the cover is a breakable object such as a table, door, or similar it is destroyed by this attack but allows the hidden creature to retain the full cover bonus for the attack attempt and may make the CON Save at advantage if they are hit.
+20 to hit, Creatures hit must make a DC24 Constitution Saving Throw.
On failure, a creature takes 50% of their Max HP in Non-Typed damage. (Round Down)

If DEX save is failed but CON save is successful, target takes 99 Non-Typed Damage, but cannot be reduced below 1HP.
If DEX save is successful but CON save is failed, target takes 49 Non-Typed Damage, but cannot be reduced below 1HP.
If both saves are successful, target takes 9 Non-Typed Damage.

Afterwards, Chara returns to her original location.

Phase 2 - My Special Hell

Trigger: Chara drops below 666HP and the current creature's turn ends.

Chara immediately cleanses all negative status effects and emits a brief demonic pulse to force a DC24 CON Save for all ongoing hostile Concentration Spells and Abilities that can be ended.

"You wanted to walk onto the gates of Hell? Then let me welcome you to My Special Hell!"

Chara will magically charge her knife, making it glow redder rapidly as she speaks the above sentences. After speaking she will briefly leap into the air and slam her knife into the ground. Penetrating into it no matter the material. With a menacing almost glowing smile she will briefly phase out of existence. A red glowing ring will rapidly extend 300ft in diameter from the knife then reach 300ft into the air forming a massive cylinder of red. All creatures within this cylinder must make a DC25 DEX Save. Taking (70) 20d6 Force + BLEED + Knocked Prone and make a DC25 CON Save on failure of the DEX Save. Half damage and not knocked prone plus no CON Save on successful DEX Save.
Creatures become Blind, Deafened, and suffer 1 point of Exhaustion and cannot recover HP for 1 Round at the point of initiative this ability triggers.
(Mark this location in your initiative to keep track)

If this ability triggers right before any of Chara's turns in initiative, this ability counts as that turn instead, using all actions and bonus actions.

Phase 3 - Soul Shatter

Trigger: Chara drops below 250HP and the current creature's turn ends. This ability only triggers once.

Chara immediately cleanses all negative status effects and emits a brief demonic pulse to force a DC24 CON Save for all ongoing hostile Concentration Spells and Abilities that can be ended.

"Let me show you why I was called a Demon!"

Chara's eyes gloss over black with intense red glowing pupils, a trail of blood dripping from the corner of her mouth as she menacingly smiles in a creepy demonic way. Raising her red glowing knife, she lets out a demonic screech/roar as hundreds of spectral knives form in the air above her. Making a single swipe, the knives rocket to all targets within 150ft of Chara not behind full solid cover.

All creatures within 150ft of Chara not behind full solid cover must make 5x DC27 DEX Saves. Taking (35) 10d6 Force Damage for each failure and the following effects happen:

-If a creature failed a DEX Save and still has 1 or more HP, the creature must make a DC24 CON Save or suffer 1 point of Exhaustion. Continuing with remaining DEX Saves accordingly.

-If a creature failed a DEX Save and has fallen to 0HP, the creature must make a DC24 CON Save. The result of the save is a Death Save success or failure. Nat1 and Nat20 rolls do not alter the result like a normal death save. Effects that give advantage on Death Saves may be used for this roll, but utilizing the creature's CON Save with a DC of 24. All remaining DEX Saves are automatically failed and the creature must roll all remaining CON Saves:
If the creature obtains 3 Death Save Successes, they recover 1HP and remain unconscious and incapacitated, also inflicted with the Slow condition as though a Slow Spell was cast upon them. A creature may make a DC24 WIS Save at the start of their turn to remove the slow condition as long as they are not unconscious.
If the creature obtains 3 Death Save failures, that creature dies.
If the creature does not obtain 3 of either, then normal Death Save rules now take effect.

For each creature killed by this ability, Chara regains 100HP. This ability cannot trigger again.
Chara's AC permanently drops to 21.

If this ability triggers right before any of Chara's turns, this counts completely as her turn instead.
