History Characters / CodexEquusTheDarkPurveyors

Prince Dühroham Erobreseg (his entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Equestria-Deities-and-Divines-Part-60-877792481 here]]) is the Alicorn god of Fury, Strength, Music, and Technology, and is an adoptive member of the Deti Uzhasov.

* ForWantOfANail: According to her, if her friend Tiszta hadn't made her aware of her community's corruption, she likely would have died from a drug overdose or, barring that, continued being her community's glorified figurehead for the rest of her life.

* EvilSoundsDeep: Like [[VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw Lewis Legend]], he has a deep, [[GutturalGrowler growling]], and raspy voice, and is a GodOfEvil (though a constructive one). Some believe it was a consequence of living with AbusiveParents and/or his foalhood battles, while other say it was invoked by him. He has refused to comment on the matter.

* GutturalGrowler: He has a deep, growling, and raspy voice. Some believe it was a consequence of living with AbusiveParents and/or his foalhood battles, while other say it was invoked by him. He has refused to comment on the matter.

* MakeMeWannaShout: As a god of Music, he can unleash potent sonic screams. When combined with his [[PlayingWithFire fire magic]], his screams can inflict serious burns.
* MakeSomeNoise: As a god of Music, he can use sound magic, except his version is more destructive. When combined with his [[PlayingWithFire fire]] or [[CastingAShadow shadow]] magics, be can do things like unleash [[MakeMeWannaShout sonic screams]] that inflict serious burns, or concussive shockwaves that temporarily engulf areas in darkness.

* OneWingedAngel: Like Yarost and his oldest adoptive siblings, he has the ability to turn into a more powerful form. In his case, he transforms into an enormous, demonic, twisted, Elephant-like beast with jet-black skin, red eyes, and a flaming Pony-like mane and tail. His body is a horrific mixture of flesh and machine, outfitted with weapons like a Pneumabolt Repeater, an Arcane Bomb Launcher, and saw blades, with parts looking like they've been forcibly grafted onto him. His physical capabilities are enhanced tenfold, and he can do multiple things with his trunk, like using it as a crushing whip, blow out both normal and darkness-based fire, and [[MakeMeWannaShout produce sonic roars/trumpets that cause destruction and physical pain]]. He can also shoot metal projectiles out of his trunk and manifest liquid metal as a form of armor.

* RageAgainstTheMentor: Played for drama. He initially planned to chew out Blue Suede Heartstrings, his mentor, for his more unsavory actions. However, he is talked out of it by Yarost, who points out that [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome reacting with anger, especially after Blue Suede just went through an extremely traumatic near-Fall, will only make things worse]]. Once he approaches Blue Suede with a calmer mind and learns why his mentor acted in certain ways, he realizes that they're actually very similar than he initially thought and forgives Blue Suede instead, leading to their reconciliation. He even admits that if he actually went through with his intentions, he would have made Blue Suede's mental state much worse than it already was.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: After being attacked by Blue Suede and discovering his mentor was repressing his own traumas and flaws for three Ages, Dühroham planned to call Blue Suede out on his unsavory actions... which, unfortunately, happened to be right after Blue Suede suffered a traumatic near-Fall. As pointed out by Yarost, yelling at someone during their lowest moments will only worsen their emotional states, which is the same reason why Yarost never yelled at Dühroham despite the latter never accepting him as a father at first. This influences Dühroham to approach Blue Suede with a calmer mind, which leads to their reconciliation as he was able to learn why Blue Suede acted the way he did.

* DarkChick: She's the [[TheSmurfettePrinciple sole female]] of the Dark Purveyors whose musical motif is PsychedelicRock, and of the five, she's the most mellow, laidback, and spiritual-minded... though she is just as depraved as her adoptive cousins and has no qualms over leading mortals into sin. Her entry describes her as being the most mystical of the Dark Purveyors, and this is reflected in her being a SquishyWizard with tremendous psychic and magical power, but is piss-poor at physical combat unlike her male cousins.

* OneWingedAngel: Like Yarost and his oldest adoptive siblings, he has the ability to turn into a more powerful form. In his case, he transforms into an enormous, demonic, twisted, Elephant-like beast with jet-black skin, red eyes, and a flaming Pony-like mane and tail. His body is a horrific mixture of flesh and machine, outfitted with weapons like a Pneumabolt Repeater, an Arcane Bomb Launcher, and saw blades, with parts looking like they've been forcibly grafted onto him. His physical capabilities are enhanced tenfold, and he can do multiple things with his trunk, like [[WhipItGood using it as a crushing whip]], blow out both normal and darkness-based fire, and [[MakeMeWannaShout produce sonic roars/trumpets that cause destruction and physical pain]]. He can also shoot metal projectiles out of his trunk and manifest liquid metal as a form of armor.

* YouGotSpunk: He was [[VillainRespect genuinely impressed]] with Sky Star's [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu defiance]] and later stated she performed "beyond expectations" during her fight with his divine avatar.
--> '''Prince Dühroham Erobreseg:''' Ah, cocky little whore. I like that.\\
'''Sky Star:''' Bring it on, douchebag! I’m gonna EFF! YOU! '''''UP!'''''\\
'''Prince Dühroham Erobreseg:''' I love your passion, babe. Looks like we could make beautiful '''''DEATH''''' together!

* AdaptationSpeciesChange: The Dark Purveyors of ''VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw'' were {{Revenant Zombie}}s with godlike powers. Here, the Dark Purveyors each come from different species like a Pony (Dühroham) or a Deer (Voľná Láska).

* IronicHell: Being divine punishers, each member of the Dark Purveyors rules over a [[{{Hell}} hell-fief]] that is specifically tailored to punish crimes that are related to their portfolios. For example, Dühroham's hell-fief focuses on uncontrolled fury and abuse of strength/technology, and Voľná Láska's hell-fief focuses on the darker side of the Hippie movement like love, nature, and spiritual enlightenment.

* UnwittingPawn: Whereas their video game counterparts willingly did it ForTheEvulz, the Dark Purveyors here were genuinely unaware that Swan Song intended to summon a [[EldritchAbomination Walpurgisnacht]] through a complex ritual, and used their divine avatars as {{Human Sacrifice}}s. Once they find out, they are ''furious'', and they personally participate in the FinalBattle to help put an end to the Walpurgisnacht. Once it's killed, the Dark Purveyors proceed to help with rebuilding to make up for Swan Song's actions.

* EmotionSuppression: Deconstructed. In their attempts to [[{{Tykebomb}} weaponize him]], his birth parents tried suppressing his natural empathy by teaching him that VirtueIsWeakness, and [[AbusiveParents horribly abused him]] as punishment if he failed to adhere to their teachings. The lengths his parents took to stamp out his good side became a major factor in his eventual RageBreakingPoint, and even after being freed from their influence, he [[EvilCannotComprehendGood felt genuinely baffled]] whenever his adoptive family showed kindness and sympathy to him. Thus, it took him a long time to accept that feeling positive emotions is okay. It's later discussed during an interview with ''Codex Equus'' researchers, where he considers himself lucky that his birth parents did not think to surgically remove his emotions entirely while experimenting on him.

* FromNobodyToNightmare: He started out as an orphaned kitten struggling to survive in a kingdom gripped by a brutal civil war, after his mother and litter mates all died. He was rescued and adopted as a pet by Dühroham,

** He hates those who wage wars for petty reasons, as well as those who weaponize innocent people by experimenting on them. [[CloseToHome This stems from his foalhood experiences as a living weapon made to fight wars for his kingdom before it was destroyed]]. He once participated in a 'Calling the Terrors' sanction made against a warmongering Autorist kingdom, whose King [[Manga/OnePiece physically/psychologically altered his daughter and quadruplet sons in-utero]], messing them up in horrific ways.

* CallingTheOldManOut: Inverted. Her adoptive uncle, Sunny Field Vaughoof, would angrily call her out for turning his brother, Moon Ray Vaughoof, into the [[EldritchAbomination eldritch]] and completely stoned MadGod, Caelum Filum. To be fair, what happened was an unexpected circumstance and there was no way she or anyone else could have foreseen it.

* CloseToHome:
** She absolutely ''hates'' religious/spiritual exploitation, which stems from how her parents exploited her precognitive abilities for their own benefit by turning her into a JunkieProphet. She believes everyone deserves a positive enlightening experience, and is enraged when people ruin it for others by giving harmful teachings and exploiting others' naivety. But what she hates the most is seeing religious/spiritual leaders groom young children, whether as prostitutes or messiah-like figures who are actually glorified, [[BlindObedience blindly obedient]] pawns. She gained such a reputation regarding this that many legends based on her adventures depicted her as a wrathful figure who went after deeply corrupt sects, her fury being comparable to Dühroham's on a bad day.
** She also hates [[EcoTerrorist pro-nature fanatics]], seeing them as {{Hypocrite}}s who hurt innocent people just to protect nature despite claiming to support it. While she does understand why her family and neighbors chose to break away from their Erobreseg kindred, she believes they deserved to be damned for the horrible things they did and feels ashamed for her role in her Neo-Alvslog community's corruption. It's rumored she sent several of her followers into Thicket, King Aspen's home, due to the Alvslog King being an eco-extremist and unpleasant {{Jerkass}} who also participated in the Elternteil Deer Pantheon's horrific abuse of Blue Suede Heartstrings. She also started hating the reclusive Nature Giants after hearing about their horribly racist treatment of Legate Anela, a Nature Giant hybrid with half-Giant of Light heritage.

* FluffyTheTerrible: Tabboush is a fairly cute name for a cat, and it translates to "chubby" in Arabic. It's zigzagged -- he's [[TheDreaded greatly feared]] in the Erobreseg Deer Realms because hearing his [[HellIsThatNoise roars]] means Temnobog's forces are arriving to inflict divine judgement upon a wicked kingdom. However, he's a loyal pet to Dühroham (to the point of [[MoralityPet helping him with his war trauma]]) and helps his master punish the wicked; when not doing that, he's a GentleGiant who acts like an ordinary housecat and helps babysit the Dark Purveyors' adoptive/biological children.

* HellIsThatNoise: His roars are rightly feared within the Erobreseg Deer Realms -- it means the Bogolenya Deer Pantheon has issued a '[[GodzillaThreshold Calling the Terrors]]' event, and [[SoiledCityOnAHill Temnobog's forces are coming to deliver divine punishment]].

* OpposeWhatYouSuffered: The fact that he torments damned souls who [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals abused animals]] and waged wars in life for petty reasons, and frequently rescued war refugees and victims of abuse and racial persecution, largely stems from his backstory as an orphaned kitten who lost his mother and litter mates to a brutal CivilWar in his native kingdom.

* TalkingToTheDead: After learning of Tiszta's [[CruelAndUnusualDeath fate]], she was so overwhelmed with grief that to cope with it, she willingly becomes a drug addict to keep her fawnhood friend 'alive' and pretending that Tiszta's still there. Because of this, she constantly refused to be cured of her addiction, which became part of the reason why she alienated her adoptive family. However, once she meets Moon Ray Vaughoof and he learns why she's refusing his help, she's forced to face the reality of Tiszta's death, and doing so causes her to break down crying.

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Unlike Mariska, she has a DarkAndTroubledPast in the Codexverse that informed her character and actions later in adulthood. Because her parents exploited her [[{{Seers}} precognition]] by [[JunkieProphet keeping her high all the time]], she became wary of getting close to people (including her own adoptive family) for fear of being exploited again. And because her parents murdered her childhood friend for interfering, she languished in grief for a long time, choosing to stay addicted so she could keep her friend 'alive'. She was also a TroubledSympatheticBigot thanks to her upbringing by the Neo-Alvslog Deer Herds, which her adoptive family understood but nonetheless felt hurt by her racism. Thanks to [[DontFearTheReaper Moon Ray Vaughoof]] and, later, [[HornyDevils Joyous Freedom]], she overcame msot of her trauma and directed her experiences to higher causes, like punishing the wicked.

** In her mortal youth, she would be adopted by [[HornyDevils Pokhot]], who found her suffering from a drug overdose and took her to be cured. While she refused to accept Pokhot as her mother at first due to a combination of trauma, an intolerant upbringing, and grief over Tiszta's death, she later [[JerkassRealization realized]] the harm her bigotry was causing. At Moon Ray's encouragement, she apologized and reconciled with Pokhot, and made huge efforts in becoming more tolerant.

* JunkieProphet: Her birth parents decided to exploit her budding foresight by turning her into a drug-addled '[[HighPriest High Priestess]]', isolating her and constantly feeding her drugs to enhance her visions. Despite [[ChildhoodFriends Tiszta]]'s efforts to save her, her birth parents did their damnedest to keep her under their control, leading to her suffering an overdose by the time [[HornyDevils Pokhot]] found her. Her mistreatment led to her being wary of connecting to others for fear of being exploited again, initially contributing to her strained relationships with her adoptive family and mentors. As a result, it took a long time for her to accept that there are people who unconditionally love her regardless of her powers.

* ParentalAbandonment: Her birth parents were killed by the [[GodOfEvil Four Terrors]] during a 'Calling the Terrors' sanction that destroyed the Neo-Alvslog community she grew up in. She doesn't begrudge [[HornyDevils Pokhot]] for it and doesn't really care that her birth parents died, since they were [[AbusiveParents abusive and exploitative]] to her in life.

* BalefulPolymorph: Part of her hell-fief is designed to punish damned shades who hunted animals for sport, as it falls under her domain of Nature. Damned shades are transformed into non-sapient creatures upon death and are mercilessly pursued and killed for enjoyment.

** Those who exploited/destroyed nature are thrown into wild areas where everything is out to kill them, from plants to animals and bugs. Damned shades are [[{{Transflormation}} turned into trees]] that are [[AndIMustScream cut down for building material]], or [[BalefulPolymorph turned into non-sapient animals that are hunted for sport]]. These punishments also apply to fanatical {{Nature Lover}}s like [[EcoTerrorist eco-terrorists]], who protect nature at the expense of everyoen else. It's noted that some plant species used in the hell-fief were delivered from Meridia for their potency (and handled with care). The damned souls of her depraved Neo-Alvslog family and neighbors were also subjected to the aforementioned punishments... as well as being violated in ways that were inspired by the '[[BestialityIsDepraved recreational activities]]' they performed in life.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: After being attacked by Blue Suede and discovering his mentor was repressing his own traumas and flaws for three Ages, Dühroham planned to call Blue Suede out on his unsavory actions... which, unfortunately, happened to be right after Blue Suede suffered a traumatic near-Fall. As pointed out by Yarost, yelling at someone like Blue Suede during their lowest moments will only worsen their emotional states, which is the same reason why Yarost never yelled at Dühroham despite the sheer PTSD he was suffering from at the time. This influences Dühroham to approach Blue Suede with a calmer mind, which leads to their reconciliation as he was able to learn why Blue Suede acted the way he did.

%%* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: [WIP]

* TheBigGuy: He's the biggest of the Dark Purveyors in terms of height, with Prince Dühroham Erobreseg coming in second.

* SlaveLiberation: Subverted. He 'tests' his infernal adoptive family by instigating massive breakouts in their hell-fiefs, including the damned 'slaves' watched over by Lord Knechten. This is so his family can improve their hell-fiefs' security and weed out potential traitors among their forces. While Temnobog welcomes and even encourages this, others like Knechten find him extremely annoying as a result.

* CatsAreMean: Zigzagged. The Erobreseg Deer fear him for being a herald of [[GodOfEvil Temnobog]]'s forces and a divine punisher of the wicked... but he's also a loyal pet who helped Dühroham recover from his foalhood war trauma. When not performing his duties, he acts like an ordinary houseat who loves relaxing and eating wet beef, and helps the Dark Purveyors by babysitting their adoptive/biological children.
