Hello and welcome to another story, brought to you truly because I have a lot going on and I don't know what the hell was I expecting.
Now, I will say this again and say that I am not stopping from making Character Profiles because I need the drafts and I can't find anything without constantly glitching in and out for whatever reason itself and the fact that I have other stories to attend to and yes, I got a lot in my plate, okay?
Well, anyway, if you haven't noticed, this story is an inspiration from the one and only Takamagahara2012 and his huge fan of the Bleach series alongside every anime that has a lot of fanservice, such as the likes of Sekirei, Kuroinu, Freezing, Queen's Blade and finally, Hazbin Hotel.
The last one isn't an anime but whatever.
And if you read the disclaimer, this is a Kuroinu story that takes inspiration from the story but with a very serious difference.
For one, unlike Seishin Samayou, who is a firmly heroic harem protagonist that is basically everything one could expect from shonen, this OC, Lazarus Blackwood, is the furthest from being heroic, being an anti-hero at best to a likewise villain protagonist at worst that hardly cares about the innocence and only deign being heroic for selfish reasons and Seishin who is a harem protagonist teenager with uncontrollable hormones and is described as handsome, Lazarus Blackwood is the furthest that one could expect to be handsome at all, being a lich necromancer that hardly has any hormones anymore and for the most part, isn't even interested in a harem.
Come on, you know why?
What? Do I need to say it?
Seriously, unless you're into necrophilia, name one reason I should do so except doing it for the sake of a fetish.
I mean, seriously.
It's already bad enough with Godzilla as a harem protagonist but having a lich as well?
Dude, it's already bad enough on the ground that a certain lich would be simping by a succubus and a loli vampire but now this?
And now, you're gonna tell me that a certain red haired devil girl has the hots for a certain Horsemen of the Apocalypse in the arts of War?
Do remind me to what story I an actual referring to, by the way?
Well, anyway, if you have any other ideas, let me know in the comments below because I have a lot of cover images in my Image Manager and let me tell you, creating Character Profiles with the full body image itself can only just put a smile on my face.
Well, anyway, on with the story.
Disclaimer: I do not own Kuroinu and 'The Shinigami of Selenus' by 'Takamagahara2012'. They belong to their respective owners.
Enjoy.
Character: Dr. Lazarus Blackwood
Age: 373 (appears 30)
Gender: Male
Physical Appearance: Dr. Blackwood is a striking figure, even if unintentionally so. He stands tall and lean, his frame hinting at considerable strength despite years spent hunched over workbenches and dissecting tables. His face is completely hidden beneath a tarnished brass helmet adorned with five glowing green lenses that seem to shift independently, giving him an unsettling, insectoid gaze. He wears a long, black leather coat buttoned to the throat over a dark turtleneck, perfectly concealing whatever lies beneath the helmet. Large, black rubber gloves cover his hands, leaving only the intricate clockwork mechanisms of his mechanical appendages visible – a collection of articulated arms and extra hands sprouting from his back and shoulders, each tipped with various tools; scalpels, pliers, miniature flamethrowers, and surprisingly delicate brushes for his alchemic work. A faint, almost imperceptible green luminescence emanates from the joints of these mechanical limbs. The smell of decaying flesh clings to him persistently.
Personality Traits: Dr. Blackwood is supremely intelligent, bordering on arrogant. He views the people of Eostia, and indeed most of humanity, with a disdainful pity, seeing them as intellectually stunted and culturally stagnant. He values logic, pragmatism, and progress above all else, dismissing faith, superstition, and traditional morality as hindrances to advancement. He's callous, uncaring, and utterly dismissive of pleas for help unless they align with his own self-serving goals. While capable of empathy on a purely intellectual level, he struggles to express it, often coming across as cruel and indifferent. His actions are guided by cold calculation and long-term strategic thinking, though his arrogance can sometimes blind him to unforeseen consequences.
Background: Dr. Blackwood's past is shrouded in mystery. He's a lich, a being who achieved undeath through necromantic rituals and advanced alchemy. His extensive knowledge spans necromancy, mechanical engineering, alchemy, and tactical warfare. His mechanical appendages are the culmination of years of tireless experimentation, blending organic and inorganic components to create tools of unparalleled precision and versatility. He's likely conducted extensive research into the nature of undeath, potentially leading to his current lich form. The green luminescence might indicate a connection to a powerful, unknown source of dark energy. His isolation stems from a deliberate choice, preferring his laboratory and the company of his reanimated creations to the company of mortals. His motives for interfering with Vult's actions are purely self-preservation – he realizes Vult poses a threat to his research and his own continued existence.
Powers Abilities:
Necromancy: Mastery over death and undeath. He can raise corpses to form an army, accelerate decay, and summon swarms of flies.
Lichdom: Near invulnerability to conventional attacks.
Mechanical Engineering: He can create complex and effective clockwork devices.
Alchemy Enchantment: Highly skilled in the creation of magical potions and the enchantment of weapons and artifacts.
Combat Prowess: A capable fighter and marksman, utilizing his mechanical appendages to enhance his abilities.
Tactical Acumen: A skilled strategist with a sharp mind for long-term planning.
Relevant Information: He chooses to remain isolated in his territory, only venturing out when his interests are directly threatened. He sees the worship of Celestine Lucross as a ridiculous distraction from genuine progress. While his actions in saving Eostia are motivated by self-preservation, it's a byproduct of a calculated decision rather than altruism. His intervention will be efficient, brutal, and devoid of any sentimental attachment. He is a force of nature, a terrifyingly brilliant individual who views the world with clinical detachment and a profound sense of superiority.
The Undead Legions of Doctor Lazarus Blackwood: A Necromantic Nightmare in Eostia
Doctor Lazarus Blackwood, the reclusive lich necromancer of Eostia, commands an army unlike any other. Forged in the crucible of his isolated experiments, these undead legions are not merely shambling corpses; they are a terrifyingly diverse and effective fighting force, more than capable of confronting even the legendary Black Dogs in a gruesome ballet of death. Their power lies not just in their numbers, but in their horrifying variety and Blackwood's chilling ability to replenish their ranks. As one might say:
"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." However, facing Blackwood's army might make you reconsider that sentiment.
Blackwood's strategy relies on a tiered approach, utilizing a diverse range of undead units, each designed for a specific purpose on the battlefield. This sophisticated approach significantly elevates their threat level compared to simple hordes of the unliving. The grotesque nature of his creations, a horrifying blend of decaying flesh and repurposed machinery, reflects the twisted genius of their creator. Furthermore, Blackwood's necromantic prowess allows him to revive fallen units, ensuring his army's relentless pressure. The acquisition of new corpses from fallen enemies only serves to further swell his ranks, making him a truly formidable opponent.
This article will delve into the horrifying intricacies of Blackwood's undead army, exploring the diverse units that contribute to its terrifying effectiveness.
The Ranks of the Undead:
Blackwood's forces are far from homogenous. The army is a terrifying tapestry woven from diverse undead units, each with specific roles:
Conventional Zombies: The backbone of Blackwood's army. These are your standard shambling corpses, serving primarily as cannon fodder and support personnel. Though individually weak, their sheer numbers and tireless nature can overwhelm even the most disciplined forces. They aid Blackwood in his research and experiments, processing materials and performing menial tasks.
Patchwork Monstrosities: These hulking brutes are significantly larger and tougher than conventional zombies, but at the cost of intelligence. They are slow but incredibly strong, forming the shock troops of Blackwood's army, smashing through enemy lines with brutal efficiency.
Porcelain Puppets: A far cry from the lumbering zombies, these creations are surprisingly agile and athletic. Their eerie beauty, reminiscent of finely sculpted porcelain dolls, belies their unsettling movements and deadly efficiency. Used primarily as spies, assassins, and scouts, their uncanny grace allows them to infiltrate enemy ranks undetected.
Necromancer Lieutenants: These figures are disturbingly similar to Blackwood himself, clad in black coats, gloves, and helmets adorned with mechanical apparatus on their backs. They wield dark magic, firing blasts of necrotic energy and raising fallen comrades on the battlefield, extending Blackwood's control and influence. While less powerful than Blackwood, their abilities are significant, acting as potent commanders within the army.
Stone Golems: These robust rock golems provide heavy support, assisting in various tasks and acting as mobile siege weapons. Their ability to explode on Blackwood's command adds a devastating element of surprise, creating gaps in enemy lines.
Spirit-Bound Corpes: A truly unnerving archetype, these walking corpses house legions of tormented souls, granting them potent telekinetic powers. They can manipulate objects from a distance, control ghosts, and induce a terrifying haunting effect on the battlefield, weakening enemy morale.
The Abomination: This is a rarely used, incredibly dangerous unit, deployed only in dire circumstances. The Abomination is a single, incredibly powerful zombie, overflowing with unstable necrotic energy. Blackwood unleashes it as a living bomb, sacrificing the unit for a devastating area-of-effect explosion.
Mechanical Swarms: This terrifying element consists of drones resembling swarms of bees, spiders, or clouds of dust, controlled remotely by Blackwood. They harass, weaken, and overwhelm opponents, acting as a significant nuisance and prelude to a more significant assault.
Elementally-Imbued Undead: This unit comprises rotting corpses imbued with elemental powers. Some are engulfed in flames, others encased in ice spikes, and still others crackling with electricity. Their elemental attacks can devastate enemy formations, creating chaos and exploiting weaknesses.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Q: How does Blackwood replenish his army?A: Blackwood can revive fallen units and create new ones by using the corpses of his enemies. This constant replenishment makes his army exceptionally resilient.
Q: Are Blackwood's undead invincible?A: No, while exceptionally resilient due to Blackwood's ability to revive them, they are not invincible. Sufficient firepower or strategically targeted attacks can still eliminate significant portions of his army.
Q: What is Blackwood's ultimate goal?A: That remains unknown. However, the scale and diversity of his undead army suggests ambition far beyond simple conquest.
Q: How does Blackwood control such a diverse army?A: Blackwood's control stems from his potent necromantic abilities, reinforced by the strategically varied composition. The necromancer lieutenants act as potent commanders within the larger army, extending his control across the battlefield.
The undead legions of Doctor Lazarus Blackwood present a truly unique and terrifying threat. The combination of their diversity, Blackwood's ability to replenish their ranks, and the sheer gruesome nature of his creations makes them a formidable force that challenges conventional warfare. The chilling reality is that confronting Blackwood's army is not simply a battle; it's a descent into a gruesome, necromantic nightmare.
