1This is a page entirely for Nachzehrer, disease-spreading black-blooded demons and the second antagonistic force for FanFic/StarlitHeroics as a whole.
2----
3!!''Tropes that apply to the Nachzehrer as a whole'' -
4* AllThereInTheManual: As per all the monsters introduced throughout the series, there are entries on them on the wiki. In universe, there's also the cards made by the Abyss Knights to identify each and every single Nachzehrer (even the zombies) and their servants.
5* AttackItsWeakPoint: Other than the standard "decapitate them to kill them" for the zombies (which would make people question how the hell to kill a [[HeadlessHorseman Dullahan]]), the Nachzehrer have a unique weakness -- destroying the heart, which is more effective if not the defining way to defeat them. (It ultimately makes encounters with Murilegas and [[MightyGlacier Behemoths]] all the more easier). The reason the heart is so vital is because it is where the Void Shard (the "embodiment" of a Nachzehrer) develops.
6* BeneficialDisease: Zigzagged constantly. The Ranthedis disease inside the black blood is notable for giving people incredible super-human abilities all around and can even bring back the dead, but it is very volatile and not everybody comes back right or winds up becoming a mindless, grotesque monster.
7* BishounenLine: With certain choice exceptions, people that grow as Nachzehrer steadily return to their original humanoid forms while retaining their powers.
8* BlackBlood: One of their most infamous aspects and also their livelihood as [[TheVirus they use the black blood to spread around the disease turn people into more of them.]] It is also one of their fatal weaknesses because if their heart (the Void Shard) is destroyed, it instantly kills them.
9* CosmicHorror: The black blood can infect anything but angels and demons, right? Which means... [[FridgeHorror Thank god the Nachzehrer only live on Divixus]].
10* ColorMotif: Black. And lots of it to the point where there are multiple puns based around it. And occasionally blue and red.
11* TheCorruption / TheVirus: Anyone infected with the black blood of a Nachzehrer will go through a three-stage (four if you're one of the nastier monsters) disease called Ranthedis before eventually becoming one themselves:
12** A zombie phase - Undead (Revenants & Cadaveliers only) / infected that can be differentiated from regular brought-back-from-the-dead zombies as commonly seen on Divixus due to their glowing blue eyes, black blood and pale-gray skin. Not only that, as time goes on, they become smarter and stronger due to the black blood strengthening their bodies but are still the easiest phase to dispose of. [[OhCrap They also have different classes, depending on how infected they are-- up to fifteen and more, in fact.]]
13** A cuccoon phase - After several days pass, the zombies all at once spontaneously seal themselves inside of cucoons made of special Anthodia silk that are immune to all conventional and magical attacks. They also create the cuccoons in dark areas so the sun wouldn't instantly disintegrate them in their next form.
14** The vampire phase - Once they break out of their cuccoons, they are reborn as demonic bloodsuckers who have a vulnerability to the sun and light magic. A hard phase to defeat due to their incredible speed and strength, but at the same time, they lose their intelligence from before, becoming nothing more than instinctual hunters and are easily outclassed by the variety of zombie classes. This only applies to the zombies that are more monstrous in design and have to have more time to develop as Nachzehrer-- exclusions being all the more developed classes. (Such as Dullahans, etc.)
15* CuteMonsterGirl: With the exception of [[OurZombiesAreDifferent Revenants]], [[StringyHairedGhostGirl female Espers]] and [[NightmareFuelStationAttendant Maranettes]], the female infected retain a great deal of how they used to look like. Full Nachzehrer are a more straight-forward example, however.
16* CreepyBlueEyes: With some of the more monstrous zombie classes.
17* EldritchAbomination: They're so nasty that they're actually feared [[Characters/StarlitHeroicsDeathmoonFamily by the people that made them]].
18* TheImmune: The Abyss Knights' Valiant Crystals are engineered to protect them from being infected by the Ranthedis virus that's in the black blood. Also, spiritual creatures such as angels and certain demon species (for example Succubi can be infected) are unable to become Nachzehrer.
19* GratuitousGerman: Thanks to Iduun being the one to name the species. It turns out they've gone through several incarnations in terms of naming, with Nachzehrer being the most accepted term.
20* NightOfTheLivingMooks
21* PowerLevels:
22** The zombies are at the bottom of the ladder due to them being incomplete.
23** Full Nachzehrer usually range from no more powerful than above average to near god-like status (Iduun, for example).
24* TragicMonster: Which depends on who they are, really.
25* ZombieApocalypse: The ones the Nachzehrer cause, though, are easily some of the most vicious and well-prepared in recent history.
26

29* ArchEnemy: As a whole to the Crimson Crusaders and the Eight Kingdoms' military forces.
30* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking
31* BadassCrew
32* TheEmpire
33* EliteMook: The Nachzehrer in the employ of the Neumond Reich military are usually more sophisticated and deadly than the ones in the wild. There are also the advanced Kriegers, which in and of themselves are {{exp|y}}ies of the [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Heartless]].
34* WickedCultured: On top of being black-blooded [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abominations]] that are able to spread around a [[ZombieApocalypse downright lethal disease that turns people into evolving zombies]], the royal family members are also classy and well-educated.
35
36!!''Tropes that apply to Neumond Reich and its inhabitants'' -
37
38* AllGhoulsSchool: The Noir Luna Academy fits this to a tee, as it not only has fifteen out of the twenty zombie classes ([[OurZombiesAreDifferent Revenants]], [[OurGhostsAreDifferent Espers]], [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Wailers]], [[ActionBomb Lataevi]], [[CreepyChild Maranettes]], [[TheBrute Behemoths]], [[OurMermaidsAreDifferent Sirens]], [[HeadlessHorseman Dullahans]], [[MoreDakka Militios]], [[TheFairFolk Sylphs]], [[BigCreepyCrawlies Sleepers]], [[{{Catgirl}} Murilegas]], [[SuccubiAndIncubi Succulinas]], [[GiantSpider Cadaveliers]], [[BeePeople Niteris]] and in the form of impressionable (and [[BishounenLine surprisingly better looking]]) teenagers, but there's also vampires, werewolves, and other humanoid monster races that come in that make their way to Noir Luna as either students or teachers.
39* [[spoiler: BaitAndSwitch: There's actually two places to Neumond Reich - Bernsonne City, a large bustling metropolis full of attractions along with a world-famous resort and training ground. Bernsonne is actually a decoy to lead suspicious people off the trail of the place where the actual regime lives - the Veldemar capital, hidden deep in the mountains.]]
40* EvilTowerOfOminousness: The Sable Fortress consists of several of these on top of being a BigFancyCastle.
41
42[[foldercontrol]]
43
44[[folder: Neumond Reich - Rulers]]
45
46An entire monarchy made by the Nachzehrer as part of their plan to overtake the Abyss Knights and cover the planet of Divixus and beyond with the Ranthedis disease. These are the ones in charge of the whole ordeal, and are the elite inner circle of the Queen. Their primary headquarters lie in the Sable Fortress in the capital city of Veldemar, hidden by the mountains.
47
48* AmazonBrigade: Carminella and her Vollstreckers are all female, for one. There are other examples.
49* SevenDeadlySins: Pretty much. They are countered by the [[Characters/StarlitHeroicsCrimsonCrusaders Crimson Crusaders]]' [[SevenHeavenlyVirtues Heavenly Virtues]]:
50** [[BigBad Iduun]] - Wrath ([[TheHero Lirus]], [[DeadpanSnarker Allen]] and [[ShadowArchetype Umbra]] are Patience)
51** Nevinna - Gluttony ([[ChurchMilitant Laitona]] and [[{{Keet}} her]] [[TheComicallySerious three]] [[TokenMiniMoe children]] are Temperance)
52** [[CuteAndPsycho Carmi]][[TheEvilGenius nella]] - Envy ([[HunterOfHisOwnKind Tha]][[SugarAndIcePersonality lassa]] is Kindness)
53** [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Cupi]][[AntiVillain dite]] - Greed ([[BunnyEarsLawyer Yume]][[{{Tsundere}} nshi]], [[FieryRedhead Ver]][[ChurchMilitant ona]] and [[TeamMom Say]][[MsFanservice ura]] are Charity)
54** [[TheChessMaster Dormiende]] - Sloth ([[MusicalAssassin Julian]] and [[CuteWitch Nocta]] are Diligence)
55** [[BattleButler Crucio]] - Lust (1st half) ([[AgentPeacock Luci]] [[ActionFashionista ano]] [[BloodKnight Vuitton]] is Chastity)
56** [[BitchInSheepsClothing Re]][[CombatSadomasochist versa]] - Pride & Lust (2nd half) ([[PerkyGoth Salu]][[ChurchMilitant tenia]], [[AxCrazy Titania]] and [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething Daniel]] are Humility)

66* TheAce: Is a supremely powerful demi-goddess with control over all eight elements.
67* ArchEnemy: To Umbra, for many reasons. By proxy, she hates Thalassa and everyone associated to him because of it.
68* [[ArchnemesisDad Archnemesis Mom]]: [[spoiler: Is technically one to Thalassa considering Carminella is her "sister."]]

85* PhysicalGoddess: [[spoiler: The only ''human'' to ever achieve this.]]
86* Really700YearsOld: Iduun is well over ten thousand years old, since she was the one who founded Neumond Reich, had several generations of Abyss Knights-turned-Nachzehrer live there and so on. ([[spoiler: Which is well over a longer time than the German culture could have been even concieved-- that is, [[FridgeBrilliance unless you consider that Iduun is a natural born Divixean that fits the qualities and that her people migrated to Earth and helped inspire or even become the Germanic people.]]]])
87* TragicMonster: [[spoiler: Her family was murdered during a Nachzehrer raid when she was human. Then her Abyss Knight friend turns into a Nachzehrer, making her [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone realize she's probably killed a bunch of her comrades without ever knowing]] and that Umbra is to blame for them even existing in the first place.

100* [[spoiler: ArtificialHuman]]: [[spoiler: Turns out, she's a Nach engineered from a torn out part of Umbra infused with parts of Iduun's hair and blood.]]
101* AxCrazy: Much like the more sadistic members of Neumond Reich's military, she has no remorse for whatever she does for the empire unless it involves someone or something she cares about, and even then, she's very fickle.

104* DissonantSerenity: Is unfazed and seems to enjoy the carnage that goes on during fights.

112* [[DaddysLittleVillain Mommy's Little Villain]]: Much to the contrast of Nevinna below, Carminella is pretty much Iduun's ideal obediant child - relentless and undyingly loyal. Whereas Nevinna is treated like a human being, Carminella is like Iduun's masterpiece.
113* MeaningfulName: '''Carmine''' is a shade of red/pink, and Carminella doubles as a pun to '''caramelo''', the spanish word for candy - further emphasizing the "sweet" nature she has.
114* NighInvulnerability: Is noticably tough like her Nachzehrer friends.
115* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Granted, given her sickeningly upbeat attitude towards everything and what she is.

176* CuteAndPsycho
177* DetachmentCombat: Likes to take herself apart for fun, for example.
178* {{Expy}}: Due to how long her character concept has been around, [[MinMaxing she's gone through multiple changes the more characters the creator sees]]. So far, the most notable ones are [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Rin from Fear Garden]] and [[VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc Junko Enoshima]].

188* TooKinkyToTorture: Any pain Reversa feels will get converted into pleasure, which doesn't help considering her incredible strength and endurance.

198-->'''[[AllThereInTheManual Starting Level]]''': Lv. 1200
199
200The Sin of Sloth, and a Nachzehrer that takes the form of a hellhound-like creature with sewed-shut eyes. He is the essential tactician for Neumond Reich, because as he embodies Sloth, he never directly involves himself in battle but instead lets his traps and minions do the work for him.
201
202[[spoiler: In reality, he is a former king of Shadre who went by Sirius. He was also a former Abyss Knight loyal to Umbra and a father to his people. However, when his personal guard was ravaged by the one-man infiltration by Iduun, he was one of the only few left alive and after getting [[CurbStompBattle thoroughly beaten]], she offers him to join her and start anew or else. Sirius willingly let himself become a Nachzehrer [[GracefulLoser out of both respect for his defeat and the futility of his situation]] - the rest is history.]]
203
204* AntiVillain
205* TheChessmaster: Since he's the Sin of Sloth, he never participates in a fight directly, but can orchestrate it well enough that he doesn't have to.
206* {{Expy}}: Of Barragan from Manga/Bleach.
207* EldritchAbomination: And certainly looks the part, compared to his companions.
208* [[spoiler: GracefulLoser: When he lost to Iduun, he gave himself up and joined the other side without struggling... Even if it was out of cowardice.]]

219
220[[spoiler: In reality, she is Laitona's mother after she turned herself into a Nachzehrer. After Umbra took Laitona into custody, ]]
221
222%%zce* AbusiveMom: To [[spoiler:Laitona when she was younger, ever since the father wasn't around to keep her safe. Reason being that Telesa didn't want to get wrapped up in motherhood and just cared about being with her husband]].
223* AngelicBeauty
224* {{Expy}}: Let's see... Angelic appearance? Blue eyes? Avarice-themed? It's [[VideoGame/Disgaea4APromiseUnforgotten Artina]] except for the yellow hair.
225* FountainOfYouth: Is technically 50+ years old, but her powers as a Nachzehrer allow her to keep a youthful appearance no matter how old she gets.

247-->'''[[AllThereInTheManual Starting Level]]''': Lv. 1000
248
249The leader of the Vollstreckers and a dream-themed Nachzehrer loyal to Dormiende. It is actually two people mixed into one body-- a married Abyss Knight couple who had their Valiant Crystals corrupted and forcibly fused together to create Alptraum. They pine for the time for when they're able to return to normal and follow Dormiende in the hopes that he could help them. The Alptraum duo resent fighting, but involuntarily grow more bloodthirsty and AxCrazy as time passes.
250
251* AntiVillain: [[SlidingScaleOfAntiVillains Type 2]].
252* AxCrazy
253* CelestialBody
254* MonsterClown
255* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Literally and metaphorically.

262-->'''Species''': Robot infused with a Militio [[SoulJar Void Shard]]
263-->'''[[AllThereInTheManual Starting Level]]''': Lv. 940
264
265A battle android and a supremely powerful technomancer powered by the soul of a once famous singer cut down in her prime. A Vollstrecker loyal to Carminella, and her best friend.
266
267* [[AmbiguouslyBi (Not So) Ambiguously Bi]]: Grows a {{Yandere}} relationship towards Daniel the prince, but utterly fawns over her (female) commander.
268* BattleCouple: With Carminella.
269* BitchInSheepsClothing: Shares this trait with Carminella and Cupidite, due to her innocuous appearance.
270* BrainUploading: Can appear as an A.I. on computers freely.
271* ContagiousAI: Given her supernatural nature, she can hop through multiple systems at once.
272* CuteAndPsycho: Looks cute on the inside, but is one of the most whacked out members of the Neumond Reich militia alongside Crucio.
273* CuteIsEvil: Hence why she was paired up as Carminella's personal Vollstrecker...
274* DetachmentCombat: Takes herself apart depending on the situation.
275* {{Expy}}: Of [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Giffany]], [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Meloetta]], ComicBook/{{Magneto}}, [[Anime/{{Mnemosyne}} Ruon]], the list goes on...
276* FauxAffablyEvil: Is a brightly-colored pop star idol android with a perky personality, but is also incredibly violent and manipulative.
277* GrievousHarmWithABody: Seeing as Militios are renowned for their ability to control metal, Rhythmia can form her robotic body into whatever she wants.
278* MadeOfIron: Literally. Due to her nature as an android, she goes into downright ImplacableWoman territory if her Void Shard isn't destroyed.
279* MeaningfulName: Rhythmia is pretty obvious considering her pop-star like image. However, it's also a shortened version of arrhythmia, which is a heart problem that involves sporadic heartbeats - given how the Void Shard is essentially the "heart" of the Nachzehrer race...
280* RedBaron: Is known as the "Ultimate Charming Machine".
281* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: Is virtually indistinguishable from a human and ''even bleeds black blood''. (The reason being that the Void Shard creates it)
282* SoulJar: Even more so than other Nachzehrer, as her robot body can't even function as well without the Void Shard.
283* TerribleTrio: Along with Carminella and Cupidite.

325
326A Murilega (cat woman) Nachzehrer, and a Vollstrecker warrior loyal to Crucio. Despite this, she and her Succulina sister Vivian tend to go off on their own, [[PunchClockVillain usually doing their own thing and not being all that dangerous unless they're called to action]]. The two of them tend to bicker over trivial matters like all siblings do, but when they work together, they're nearly unstoppable.
327
328Catherine, being the Murilega of the two, is incredibly fast and physically powerful, knowing a multitude of fist-based melee attacks to compliment her sister's more magic-oriented style. She is also hot-headed, brash, but also very charming when she wants to be.

437
438[[folder: Kriegers/Warlings]]
439
440Ranthedis-infected creatures born from the animals and the other non-humanoid creatures that live on Divixus, effectively serving as an (even more) expendable army. They come in various forms and appearances, depending on the animal/creature they used to be and their new purpose as chosen by their humanoid masters.

443* BlackBlood

446* {{Expy}}: More of [[Franchise/KingdomHearts the Emblem Heartless]] than anything else in Starlit Heroics, along with VideoGame/{{Pokemon}} in general.
447* FisherKingdom: There are different variations depending on location.
448* TheHeartless
449* OurMonstersAreWeird
450* MeaningfulName: Krieger is German for warrior - the Abyss Knight name, Warling, rings the same bells.
451* SigilSpam: They can be identified by the trademark upside down red star with black wings which serves as the Nachzehrer's symbol.
452* ZergRush
453
454!!'''Exeques'''
455
456Warlings with a small body that have a transparent watery outer shell shaped like a demonic horse. They are relentless hunters that track down their prey no matter how far they are.
457
458* AnimalMotifs: Horses.
459* BattleAura: It's a transparant water horse, too.
460* DeflectorShield: It can be argued that weaker attacks can't pierce through the water aura.
461* {{Expy}}: Of the three elemental horse enemies from ''VideoGame/{{Okamiden}}'', strangely enough. It's also based off the Kelpie from Celtic mythology, but [[FluffyTheTerrible renamed to sound more fearsome.]]
462* LightningBruiser
463* MakingASplash: It ''is'' based off the kelpie, after all...

472[[folder: The Zombie stage and its classes]]
473* BlackBlood
474* ColorMotif: They all have blue eyes (with the exception of the Espers who have purple eyes) and gray skin, [[SymbolicBlood along with having the black blood as a universal symbol.]]
475* EliteZombie: All of them-- even the standard Revenant over time, at least compared to [[AWizardDidIt the usual sort seen on Divixus.]]
476* [[spoiler: {{Foreshadowing}}: The cybernetic zombies on the Island of Shadows that Lirus and pals were on were training for facing these guys.]]
477* GratuitousLatin: They consist of primarily Latin names, if only because of how the Libratan Royal Family and the Abyss Knights classify them.
478* {{Motif}}: They are based off of famous monsters from all sorts of mythology, i.e gryphons, sirens, revenants, dullahans, etc. There's some exceptions, of course, like [[MixAndMatchCritters Wailers]] and [[OurMonstersAreDifferent Lataevi]].
479* OurZombiesAreDifferent: ''Very'' different. It can be argued that they're Type M, since they have many aspects going for them.
480* TransformationTrinket: The newly-minted Ascendance Charms allow them to invoke [[SuperMode Aufstiegs]], which would otherwise be impossible unless they were high-end Nachs like the Vollstreckers and so on. [[spoiler: The reason being because Ascendance Charms are created from the [[SoulJar melted-down Void Shards of wild Nachzehrer like the zombies]], so it works as some sort of twisted power booster as well.]]
481
482!!'''Revenant'''
483
484The most common type of Nachzehrer zombie, and the easily the least dangerous. They have the ability to grow smarter and stronger due to the black blood strengthening their bodies, but other than that, they're really just cannon fodder when compared to their more varied counterparts. They infect people by either getting up close and personal to bite them or [[BreathWeapon spewing the black blood from their mouth, which is essentially quick-acting corrosive poison.]]
485
486!!!Tropes related to the wild variant:
487
488* BreathWeapon: They spew the black blood from their mouth as their primary way to infect people. [[NauseaFuel Ewww...]]
489* FragileSpeedster: They're capable of running, but they're not that durable.
490* GlassCannon: They're weak when put up against the military or even a decently organized group of people, but if they get the upper hand, they're very effective.
491* MeaningfulName: Even if they're not exactly the same thing as the folklore ones, they're called Revenants because of the fact that they're reanimated dead corpses.
492* PoisonIsCorrosive: The black blood is infectious and acidic, which is what really makes them more of a threat than anything.
493* {{RevenantZombie}}: Subverted, actually-- a Nachzehrer Revenant is more comparable to a modern zombie than the actual folklore revenant. It's an InNameOnly sort of deal.
494* ZergRush
495
496!!!Tropes related to the [[BishounenLine Neumond Reich counterpart]]:
497
498* MasterOfNone: Revenants in Neumond Reich are basically normal people when compared to the others.
499* NormalFishInATinyPond: While they are still more powerful than any normal person on Divixus, they are overshadowed by their more varied counterparts.
500* {{RevenantZombie}}: Played straight, unlike the wild version. Most of the time, a Revenant is someone who died as a human/humanoid and was reborn as a Nachzehrer thanks to the rejuvenative powers of the black blood. A problem with those is that they generally lack a soul.
501
502!!'''Melting'''
503
504A variation of the Revenant line that involves the victim's skin and most of their organs melting off of their body as an intense side-effect of the black blood. They are kept alive through the Void Shard inside their bodies, can freely control the flesh they shed and can use it for combative purposes. They
505
506!!!Tropes related to the wild variant:
507
508* BodyHorror: A bit more so than the other zombie classes.
509* DemBones: Their base form, although they can assume the form they took before they became Melting.
510* {{Expy}}: Based off of Sekhmet from VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}}, right down to being vampiric skeleton monsters.
511* MeaningfulName: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Their entire body except for their skeleton has melted off]], for lack of a better term.
512
513!!!Tropes related to the [[BishounenLine Neumond Reich counterpart]]
514
515!!'''Regenerator'''
516
517Advanced mutations of the Revenant line that turn more demonic and fierce as time goes on. They are immune to all forms of attack as they can quickly heal their injuries, no matter where they are attacked - stronger hits only stall their recovery time. Their weakness is their Void Shard, and are some of the most tenacious members of the Nachzehrer zombie classes if it is not destroyed immediately.
518
519* {{Expy}}: ''Very'' similar to the Regenerators from Resident Evil.
520* EliteZombie: Even more so, standing as the strongest variation of Revenant.
521* ImplacableMan: A generic counterpart.
522
523!!'''Esper'''
524
525Ghostly infected that can go through walls, turn invisible, cause illusions and possess living creatures or objects-- they are identified by being accompanied by blue flames and having eerie purple eyes. They're dangerous enough to be a threat due to their mind games and effective magical arsenal.
526
527!!!Tropes related to the wild variant:
528
529* BlackMage
530* {{Expy}}: Of the Espers from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'', [[FridgeBrilliance which really makes sense when you think about it...]]
531* InTheHood: Male Espers wear hoodies.
532* MeaningfulName: Pretty obvious.
533* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: [[OhCrap And they're not even the worst offenders out of the whole group.]]
534* OurBansheesAreLouder / StringyHairedGhostGirl: Female Espers are this to a tee.
535* OurGhostsAreDifferent: [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Magical zombie ghosts that evolve into demonic vampire monsters?]]
536* SoulPower
537
538!!!Tropes related to the [[BishounenLine Neumond Reich counterpart]]:
539
540* BlackMage
541* PrehensileHair: Due to how long a female Esper's hair usually is, they can use it as part of their attacks.
542* SheCleansUpNicely: When compared to the wild variant, female Espers look much more refined.
543
544!!'''Wailer'''
545
546Infected that take on angelic-yet-deformed appearances to trick their enemies and can scream to attract their allies to them. They came about when Nachzehrer blood came in contact with False Angel demons.
547
548!!!Tropes related to the wild variant:
549
550* BodyHorror: Their arms can grow to a length that would be impossible for a regular human being and worst of all, [[RubberMan they can make it longer.]] Couple that with the fact that they sometimes look so malformed they don't even look like people...
551* EnemySummoner: Their screams bring in the horde, obviously.
552* LongRangeFighter
553* LightIsNotGood: They take the appearance of angels, for christ's sake.
554* MeaningfulName: But of course.
555* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Which is made worse when you realize that False Angels, the creature they were born from, are [[EldritchAbomination Cthulu-esque abominations of sheer terror in their true form.]]
556* [[ScreamingWarrior Screaming Long-armed Zombie]]
557* ZergRush
558
559!!!Tropes related to the [[BishounenLine Neumond Reich counterpart]]:
560
561!!'''Lataevus'''
562
563Infected with a disproportionately large glass and flesh hourglass shaped body filled with black blood. Should prey come closer, they will entrap them in a lunar barrier and explode upon capturing them, killing itself in the process.
564
565* ActionBomb: They exist only to serve as a sort of anti-survivor grenade, but that's not all they can do.
566* AndIMustScream: ''Holy crap.''
567* BodyHorror: Their body (and insides) have been reformed into the shape of an hourglass ([[FridgeLogic with actual glass, no less-- how does that work?]]) and they house the black blood in the transparant glass surface for everyone to see. [[AndIMustScream Imagine how they must feel.]]
568* {{Expy}}: Of the Boomers from VideoGame/Left4Dead.
569* GiantMook: Second only to the Behemoth, the Lataevi are some of the tallest of the zombie types.
570* MeaningfulName: Lata (wide in latin) + Aevus (time in latin), and considering Time is a branch of Luna magic...
571* TakingYouWithMe: It attempts to capture nearby survivors and explodes on contact, spilling the black blood (and glass) all over the place and essentially sealing their fate. It's still dangerous to immune people because of the acidic nature of the black blood and the shards of glass getting thrown everywhere.
572
573!!'''Maranette'''
574
575People that got infected by the black blood, generally at a young age. Their bodies have malformed into eerie doll-shaped forms and are identified by their pertutually grinning mouths and empty eye sockets. They can also manipulate people via the Luna technique, Dead Man's Dance.
576
577!!!Tropes related to the wild variant:
578
579* AndIMustScream: They're children (probably not even 12 years old) that have been infected with the black blood who lose their eyes and ''[[StepfordSmiler are always smiling,]]'' even though it's obvious they're under a hell of a lot of pain.
580%%* BodyHorror: The description above.
581%%* BloodyTears
582%%* CuteAndPsycho: To an extent.
583%%* CreepyDoll
584%%* EyeScream
585%%* {{Lunacy}}
586* MeaningfulName: Mara (referring to the old name for nightmare) + Marionette. And you know what? [[NightmareFuelStationAttendant It really does fit.]]
587* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: While the others were disturbing in their own ways, the Maranettes ''take the damn cake.''
588%%* PeoplePuppets: Their trademark skill.
589%%* UndeadChild
590
591!!!Tropes related to the [[BishounenLine Neumond Reich counterpart]]:
592
593* CuteMonsterGirl: Generally speaking, but they have the ability to shift back and forth from "cute" to "nightmarish abomination", given their nature.
594
595!!'''Behemoth'''
596
597Heavily infected people who have grown stronger and larger as a result of the black blood. They possess immense strength and speed, and can be identified by their towering size, slender shapes (in the case of females -- the guys are rather bulky) and bandage covered bodies.
598
599!!!Tropes related to the wild variant:
600
601* BodyHorror: [[spoiler: They wear the bandages all around their body because they're bleeding so badly that they can't contain it anymore.]]
602* {{Expy}}: Of the Tank from VideoGame/Left4Dead, obviously. Female Behemoths can be compared to the Witch though, except without the DisproportionateRetribution aspect but all the danger left intact.
603%%* TheJuggernaut
604* LargeAndInCharge: They're recognized as the most dangerous of all the zombie types and for a good reason.
605%%* LightningBruiser: The female Behemoths are quick and deadly, which is appropriate considering they're much, much slimmer than their male counterparts.
606%%* MadeOfIron: But of course.
607* MeaningfulName: They're the strongest physically and the tallest.
608%%* MightyGlacier: The male Behemoths are exactly as you'd expect them to be, so it's appropiate that they are the most powerful of the zombie classes.
609* MummyWrap: Usually wears one all around their body due to extensive bleeding.
610%%* SuperStrength
611%%* TheBrute
612* TheDreaded: Actually not as much as some of the more destructive ones, such as the Magical Corpses and the Murilegas, etc.
613
614!!!Tropes related to the [[BishounenLine Neumond Reich counterpart]]:
615
616* AmazonianBeauty: The females, generally speaking.
617* LargeAndInCharge: Is usually the physically largest of the males and the tallest of the females.
618* SuperStrength
619
620!!'''Siren / Stomablade'''
621
622Infected women who retain a comely appearance and a lovely voice to drag in unwitting men (and sometimes women) to their doom. She is identified by her long, watery hair and is always shown to be near watery areas. Their male counterpart, Stomablade, are fish men with a shrimp-like appearance and appendages.
623
624They were born from the Aqualius people, fish men/women who primarily live in the Frost kingdom Glacientyr.
625
626!!!Tropes related to the Sirens in general
627
628* AlwaysFemale
629* BitchInSheepsClothing
630* CompellingVoice
631* CuteMonsterGirl: She's the poster girl for the Nachzehrer female zombies.
632* EliteMook: As she retains her original appearance and mindset (other than a raving desire to spread the black blood), she's this among the zombie classes.
633* FishPeople
634* {{Flight}}
635* MakingASplash / AnIcePerson: Naturally.
636* MindControlMusic
637* MixAndMatchCritters: Has the SirensAreMermaids thing going for them, but can also grow wings to fly, which is a reference to the original definition of a siren, who were bird women.
638* MusicalAssassin
639* MsFanservice
640* PowerGivesYouWings: Since she has a mermaid tail, you'd think that she wouldn't get much done in a primarily dry environment, right? This changes everything.
641* SirensAreMermaids
642
643!!!Tropes related to the Stomablades in general
644
645* FishPeople: Is based off of the real life [[LightningBruiser Mantis Shrimp]] in terms of attack strength and appearance.
646
647
648!!'''Dullahan'''
649
650Infected men and women whose heads detach themselves from their bodies due to the amount of black blood that builds up in their neck, and much like their Siren counterparts, have a comely appearance. They are skilled in scytheplay (regardless of their previous weapon stance) and are usually accompanied by Exeques.
651
652They can also disguise themselves so that they won't incite panic among normal human people and sneak up on them, but that's usually rare.
653
654!!!Tropes related to Dullahans in general
655
656* BodyHorror: The black blood building up in their neck to the point of decapitation sounds less than pleasant.
657* CoolHorse: That happens to be one of the other zombie types.
658* CuteMonsterGirl: The females.
659* EliteMook: Among the zombies.
660* {{Expy}}: Design-wise, [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Miku Hatsune]]. Idea-wise, Celty from {{Literature/Durarara}} for the girls.
661** Strangely enough, the males resemble Valvatorez from VideoGame/Disgaea4APromiseUnforgotten.
662* FemmeFatalons: The females have long nails.
663* HeadlessHorseman
664* ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: Their scythes.
665* LosingYourHead
666* MsFanservice / MrFanservice: A trope shared by most Dullahan characters.
667* SinisterScythe: They carry one around with them everywhere.
668* WorthyOpponent: In a straight fight, they're usually the most honorable out of all the zombies, which is really saying something.
669
670!!'''Milito'''
671
672Soldiers who succumbed to the black blood and undead hordes. They retain their former memory of weapons usage and military training, making them more effective for killing instead of trying to infect people with the black blood. Due to bonding with their weapons, the black blood turned them into biomechanical monsters that are able to summon metal out of their body.
673
674!!!Tropes related to the wild variant:
675
676* ArmorIsUseless: -- When put up against the black blood, anyway.
677* ExtraOreDinary / ColdIron: Can manipulate metal into whatever it wants, making it a veritable OneManArmy as it can create guns out of anything, ''including itself.''
678* FallenHero: Since the military is actually not [[CavalryBetrayal a villainous nuke-all group]] normally seen in these sorts of settings, as shown with Lirus, Roland, Julian and the other Crimson Crusader members, it's safe to say that these soldiers were honest, hard-working people before they got converted to the undead.
679* MeaningfulName: Milito is latin for [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Soldier.]]
680* MoreDakka
681
682!!!Tropes related to the [[BishounenLine Neumond Reich counterpart]]:
683
684
685!!'''Sylph'''
686
687Infected that grow fairy-like wings and have innate magical power. Despite what the name and charasteristics may imply, they can be both male and female. Sylphs are the fastest of the Nachzehrer zombies and the most powerful magic-wise, but can be taken down just as quickly.
688
689!!!Tropes related to the Sylphs in general:
690
691* BlackMage
692%%* FragileSpeedster / SquishyWizard
693* TheFairFolk
694* EliteMook: Among Sirens and Dullahans.
695* MaskPower

699* TheOjou: A common staple among female Sylphs.

701!!'''Sleeper'''
702
703Infected that grow multiple arms, legs and a scorpion tail that can transmit the black blood directly into their victim-- giving them a horrific insect-like appearance. They are [[MightyGlacier moderately slow, but can hit very hard]] and can also take it as well. As indicated by their name, they can incite sleep magic onto their opponents to make them drowsy and unable to escape.
704
705!!!Tropes related to the wild variant:
706
707* AndIMustScream: Unlike their [[VideoGame/AfraidOfMonsters inspiration]], which are merely illusions of a drug addict, these are very real indeed. Also, imagine a scorpion sting but a thousand times worse.
708* BodyHorror: Their bodies aren't just mangled-- they're ''mutilated.'' Which is appropriate, considering what they were based off of.
709%%* BigCreepyCrawlies
710* {{Expy}}: WordOfGod confirms that they are based off of the Abominations from VideoGame/AfraidOfMonsters.
711%%* MightyGlacier
712%%* NightmareFuelStationAttendant
713
714!!!Tropes related to the [[BishounenLine Neumond Reich counterpart]]:
715
716* LightningBruiser: They lack the bulky shape of the original Sleepers and as a result are able to move much faster.
717* PaleSkinnedBrunette: Sleepers born in Neumond Reich generally have pale white-skin and dark hair colors.
718
719!!'''Murilega'''
720
721Infected men & women that grow cat-like attributes along with a penchant for blood and destruction. They are usually physically attractive, strong and can tear their enemies apart due to their fast speed, claws and impromptu ether swords. They can also camouflage their grey skin and animal attributes (excluding their ears) should they need to infiltrate a heavy assortment of survivors.
722
723They are based off of the Lucares cat people in physical form.
724
725%%* BadassAdorable: And they tend to look adorable.
726%%* {{Catgirl}}
727%%* CuteMonsterGirl
728* DemonicSpiders: One by themselves isn't that scary, but a pack of them would tear through people without difficulty.
729* {{Expy}}: The females are based off of the Nekomatas from Franchise/{{Disgaea}}.
730* ImAHumanitarian: Out of all the zombies, they fit the flesh-eating part, but it's quite different in her case. (Cats are carnivores, for one.)
731* LaserBlade: Can summon one to attack with if their big paw fists aren't enough.
732%%* LightningBruiser
733* MeaningfulName: Murilega is latin for Cat.
734%%* MsFanservice: Usually speaking regarding Murilega characters
735* PurposelyOverpowered: In the regular zombie medium, Murilegas would be invincible, which signifies how different the Nachzehrer zombies are. Even the Crimson Crusaders and co. have a bit of trouble facing them.
736
737!!'''Succulina'''
738
739Infected women that become infamous for their attractive bodies and the ability to charm both men and women to be at their beck and call. They have immense magical powers and a wide movepool of spells to use it with, along with being able to camoflague their true identities much like their Murilega cousins.
740
741They can also suck the blood of their victims to add to their own black blood, making them stronger in the process.
742
743%%* AlwaysFemale
744%%* CuteMonsterGirl
745* LightningBruiser: They can take the heat and dish it out too, not only in just in magic, since they are actually relatively decent physical fighters. But they're outclassed by the Dullahans and Murilegas.
746* MsFanservice: Their job, no less.
747* RedMage: From healing to offensive magic, they've got it all.
748
749!!'''Cadavelier'''
750
751Literal undead that have been infected by the black blood while still in their coffins. They have grown long black tendrils that serve as legs, and every step they take leaves behind puddles of the black blood-- they can also summon a shadowy entity to help direct the coffin's attacks. They are infamous for dragging their victim inside of the coffins and eating them alive.
752
753* AnimalMotifs: Spiders.
754* BodyHorror: The corpse inside, which is deformed to hell and back.
755* {{Expy}}: Of the coffin enemies from ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaLordsOfShadow''.
756%%* GiantSpider
757* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Alongside the Sleepers and Maranettes.
758* OurZombiesAreDifferent: They are guaranteed to be actual zombies. That, and without the coffin, they're essentially just Revenants.
759
760!!'''Niteris'''
761
762Originally infected bug alien emissaries called Viatorans (Traveler in Latin), the black blood when combined with their unique body fluids created this special strand of Nachzehrer zombie. Niteris Nachzehrer take on a humanoid bee-like form (regardless of what they looked like before) along with mimicking bee hierarchy-- there is only one queen and several workers and soldiers. They hide in dark caves and create a special purple honey -- it tastes delicious but is lethal to anybody that isn't a Nachzehrer.
763
764* BeePeople: But of course.
765* BodyHorror: Think about it-- your body being malformed into the same bee-like structure as everyone else and become part of a hive-mind. Thankfully, it's salvaged when you're strong enough to look like how you were like as a person.
766* BishounenLine: Soldiers originally look very mechanoid in appearance, but if they're powerful enough they can look the same as they did before turning into a Nach.
767* LightningBruiser: Fast, strong and there's a lot of them.
768* MeaningfulName: Niteris means "plague" in Latin.
769
770!!'''Fulguren'''
771
772Infected members of a species called Muvaren, which are flesh-and-blood sand spirits that help protect the desert continent of Mu. The black blood crystallizes their body into glass and turns them into feral monsters, as signified by their incredible electrical powers and being able to rot the land around them.
773
774* MeaningfulName: Fulguren is a portmanteau between Muvaren and fulgurite, which is a type of glass material that is formed when lightning strikes sand.
775
776!!'''Magical Corpse'''
777
778Abyss Knights that turn into Nachzehrer but have not completely matured. Easily the most powerful and unstable of the zombie classes, surpassing the other types in strength, tenacity and viciousness.
779
780* PunnyName: Is based off of magical girl.
781
782!!'''Infector'''
783
784Less an infection type and more an actual job class, they are Nachzehrer that are fitted with all-terrain armor and large vaccine blades that carry black blood. Due to the sterilization of the effects of black blood in clean water, Infectors are sent en-masse to turn people into Nachs directly with their syringes.

804* StarfishCharacter: [[spoiler:Irene is actually a sentient clone of Iduun with half of the original's power, made to keep an eye on the army she amasses in Noir Luna. Interestingly, due to her existence, the real Iduun's powers are also halved.]]

824
825----
826
827%%* BadassCrew
828* {{Foil}}: One to the Crimson Crusaders, especially since they're essentially the same group but on the Nachzehrer side of things.
829* FireForgedFriends: It wasn't always easy for this group to come together, that's for sure.
830%%* RagTagBunchOfMisfits
831
832!!'''Sunshine Nettagel'''
833
834A happy-go-lucky ditzy Dullahan girl who attends Noir Luna in order to become a full-fledged member of the Vollstrecker army like her mother Dawn and her father Cornell. She also wants to become an accomplished artist and occasionally gets taught by Vermiliel in the act of combat. She forms the Shade Chevaliers with Vermiliel in order to protect the school and the city from any danger, along with unearthing risky secrets about Neumond Reich itself all the while.
835
836* AnimalMotif: Butterflies.
837* ColorMotif: Yellow, white and black.
838* FantasticRacism: Considers redbloods (aka. anything that isn't a Nachzehrer) to be inferior. It's mostly out of ignorance than out of actual malice, but...
839* {{Foil}}: To the more dark-aligned Nocta.
840* GeniusDitz: An impressive artist, fighter and scholar... but noticeably less sharp than most of her friends.
841* TheHero: From the Nachzehrer side.
842* LosingYourHead: Well, she is a Dullahan.
843* MeaningfulName: Her name should be a huge indicator of her personality from a first glance.

854* AnimalMotifs: Rabbits.
855* TheArchmage: Knows all of the eight elements, but sticks mostly to Frost and Dark.
856* BrattyHalfPint: At least until his CharacterDevelopment kicks in at full force.
857* ChildMage: Well, for as much as a child you can be considered at 15 years old...
858* {{Expy}}: A huge one of [[VideoGame/Disgaea4APromiseUnforgotten Death Emizel]].
859* {{Foil}}: To the two rabbit boys, Vilutia and Mereno.
860* InTheHood: Has a black and blue hood with similarly colored rabbit ears. It's part of his status as an Esper to wear a hood, but why rabbit ears?
861* MeaningfulName: Is noticably darker than his sister in looks, at the very least. He's also a smidge whinier and more cynical. Again, until his character development.
862
863!!'''Edgar Alhyde'''
864
865* CheshireCatGrin: Which gives him an already unsettling look... doesn't help that he's a Sleeper Nachzehrer.
866%%* EyesAlwaysShut
867
868!!'''Amisso'''
869
870A mysterious Cadavelier student with an unnerving aura. He doesn't remember his name from when he was alive, so he uses Amisso as a replacement.

876
877Originally a normal country girl that came from a remote village in the Outer Fields, she left to obtain the legendary purple honey made by the Niteris bee humanoid Nachzehrer. [[{{Determinator}} After toiling through several places by herself just to get to the cave]], Madeleine comes across the purple honey and the Niteris along with it. Thankfully, the Niteris there lack a queen, so they don't intend on eating her -- but make her the queen instead and a Nachzehrer to boot.
878
879Ever since then, she has stayed with the hive for as long as she can remember-- [[spoiler: not being able to go back to her family because she can't face them after becoming what she is now and because she doesn't know the way back home.]] It's not until the Noir Luna Academy is addressed to her by her aide does she decide to attend it, eventually meeting up with Sunshine and the friends as time passes.
880
881%%* AlliterativeName
882%%* BadassAdorable
883* BadassNative: Was originally from a rural colony somewhere in Western Sacrionna.
884* BadassNormal: Left home to search for the purple honey by herself and traveled a hell of a long distance to get it... ''by herself!''
885* BewareTheNiceOnes: Is the most sincere of the bunch, but her temper flares easily.
886* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Upon becoming a Nachzehrer.

888%%* {{Foil}}: To Thalassa.

909
910[[folder: Icharna Soul]]
911
912A group of all-around seedy people that idolize the Nachzehrer. [[spoiler: Originally just a group of crazies, they eventually became intergrated with a corrupt branch of the United Lunardream Church to under the belief that if they unify their efforts, they will achieve absolute power.]] Ultimately, they gang up on the Crimson Crusaders with the Neumond Reich military to make sure nothing can stop them.
913
914!!'''[[spoiler: Sheol Ultimes]]'''
915
916[[spoiler: One of Umbra's first Nachzehrer experiments that survived his scourings. He was originally an unnamed blob of sentient black blood that grew as he consumed more and more victims before hiding back into the earth. In this time, he mused over the world outside with bitterness and confusion as he wondered what he was. As he left his underground nest, he was unstable and found his body was injuring itself - he would have died if he hadn't come into contact with a woman by the name of Lurienne.]]
917
918[[spoiler: She tended to his wounds and brought him back to life, to which he owed her gratitude and became indebited towards her. In return, she asked to become a Nachzehrer and the two of them have grown stronger as time passed, with Sheol eventually becoming a demi-god as he consumed more and more people.]]
919
920[[spoiler: He learns of Iduun and Umbra's struggle and becomes a third party - to take down the man who kills his own kind and to overthrow the queen who plans on taking over the world - Sheol would rather prefer everybody to rot in the void he creates due to all he's suffered. In this stead, Icharna Soul was founded and would go to any lengths to combat the other two's forces.]]
921
922* {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/MegamanStarForce Le Mu]] in terms of [[PhysicalGod toughness]], [[VideoGame/OdinSphere King Gallon]], etc.
923* EldritchAbomination: The shining example of the Nachzehrer as a species, as he was never human to begin with and barely sticks to his humanoid form.
924* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler: Which was self-given, actually. Sheol in mythology is a place of darkness to which all the dead go, both the righteous and the unrighteous, regardless of the moral choices made in life - appropriate considering the ZombieApocalypse theming of the Black Blood Crusades and Sheol's KeystoneArmy-esque powers and underworld god theming.]]
925* PetTheDog: [[spoiler: Is genuinely kind to Lurienne (his wife and life partner) and Neomenia (his equally disgruntled brother who agrees with his sentiments). He is also not aggressive to Umbra's other children such as Thalassa, etc and is also [[GracefulLoser not aggressive to the heroes once he is defeated.]]]]
926* TragicMonster: [[spoiler: All of his life, he's been nothing more than target practice and has consumed others to survive. And even then he's not planning to take over the world like Iduun, he wants to more-or-less empty it of people instead.]]
927* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: His ideology once he's done with his plans. [[spoiler: It's mostly towards the dregs in his group and not the people he cares about.]]
928
929!!'''Neomenia Ultimes'''
930
931[[spoiler: One of Umbra's Nachzehrer children, and a horribly neglected boy. He ran away from home at a young age, despising his father for many reasons-- more specifically how Umbra kills a countless amount of Nachzehrer without a second thought.]]
932
933He is one of the leaders of Icharna Soul and possesses a ridiculous amount of power -- having made an alliance with not only the Neumond Reich royal family but also [[spoiler: a corrupt branch of the United Lunardream Church]], ultimately making their plan to eliminate any opposition.
