| 12 | |
| 13 | [[folder:General]] |
| 14 | * AbstractApotheosis: All of the Dark Purveyors managed to Ascend to demi-godhood by [[FollowInMyFootsteps choosing to become infernal punishers like their adoptive parents]]. They would later move on to true godhood under the tutelage of various benevolent deities. |
| 15 | * AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: All of the Dark Purveyors have [[DarkAndTroubledPast horrible pasts]] that gave them incredible trauma and shaped them into becoming who they are in the present, something that their video-game counterparts lack. |
| 16 | * AdaptationalBackstoryChange: The Dark Purveyors of ''VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw'' lacked backstories that explained their personalities and how they came to be. The Codex versions of the Dark Purveyors have backstories... but they're [[AdaptationalAngstUpgrade utterly horrific and sad]]. |
| 17 | * AdaptationalBadass: The Dark Purveyors from ''VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw'' were superpowered {{Revenant Zombie}}s with abilities that pertain to the music genre they're based on. By contrast, the Dark Purveyors of the Codexverse are ''bonafide gods''. |
| 18 | * AdaptationalHeroism: The Dark Purveyors from ''VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw'' helped start a ZombieApocalypse for an EmoTeen's petty revenge scheme [[ForTheEvulz because they can]]. The Dark Purveyors of the Codexverse are [[NecessarilyEvil constructively evil]] deities who were used as {{Unwitting Pawn}}s by Swan Song. They're also much more sympathetic overall compared to their video game counterparts. |
| 19 | * AdaptationSpeciesChange: The Dark Purveyors of ''VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw'' were {{Revenant Zombie}}s with godlike powers. Here, the Dark Purveyors each come from different, non-human species like a Pony (Dühroham) or a Deer (Voľná Láska). |
| 20 | * CoDragons: During the 'Swan Song Crisis', they -- or rather, their divine avatars -- all worked under Swan Song and answered equally to him, thanks to a DealWithTheDevil he made with them in a bid for revenge. However, once Swan Song's plan to summon a Walpurgisnacht is revealed, they [[EvenEvilHasStandards immediately turn on him]] and work to help the heroes kill it. |
| 21 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: {{Pun}} aside, all of the Dark Purveyors have suffered traumatic pasts where they were abused by parental figures in different ways, shaping them into what they became today. |
| 22 | * DarkIsEvil: Played with. They're called the ''Dark'' Purveyors, and they're [[GodOfEvil infernal deities]] who are as depraved and horrifying as their adoptive parents, the Four Terrors. However, they use their natures for constructive purposes by [[SecretTestOfCharacter tempting mortals to see if they'll persevere in the face of evil]]. |
| 23 | * DealWithTheDevil: Much like what happened in ''VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw'', Swan Song made a deal with them in exchange for help in creating a ZombieApocalypse in revenge towards everyone who wronged him. However, once they learned Swan Song tricked them into helping him summon a [[EldritchAbomination Walpurgisnacht]] by sacrificing their avatars, they turn against him and help the heroes kill the Walpurgisnacht before it inflicts colossal damage. |
| 24 | * DeityOfHumanOrigin: All of the Dark Purveyors were mortals who managed to Ascend to demi-godhood, then true godhood under the tutelage of various deities. |
| 25 | * DivineParentage: All of the Dark Purveyors would be adopted by the [[GodOfEvil Four Terrors]]. While their extreme PTSD initially made things difficult between them, they gradually came to see their adopters as family. |
| 26 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: They all love their adoptive parents, the Four Terrors, as well as their adoptive siblings and cousins despite their traumas making things rocky between them at first. This love also extends to each other, with Dühroham having the closest relationship with his younger brother, Prince Lázadó. |
| 27 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Like the huge majority of their infernal family, they do not tolerate [[ForTheEvulz self-destructive evil]]. Despite working with Swan Song in creating a ZombieApocalypse, they secretly undermined him by pushing many heroes to fight back against the zombies. And when they learned Swan Song used their divine avatars as sacrifices for a complex ritual to summon a Walpurgisnacht, they immediately decide to help the heroes put an end to it. This is a stark contrast to their [[VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw video game counterparts]], who willingly went with it ForTheEvulz. |
| 28 | * EvilVersusEvil: Being more heroic than their video game counterparts, the Dark Purveyors are utterly opposed to those who follow [[ForTheEvulz destructive evil]], which includes the Children of Ispita, whom they are related to by adoption. |
| 29 | * {{Expy}}: Of the Dark Purveyors from ''VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw''. Like their video game counterparts, the Dark Purveyors are a five-person band whose members each specialize in a specific genre of music, like classic rock (Dühroham) or psychedelic/acid rock (Voľná Láska). |
| 30 | * FreudianExcuse: Deconstructed. All of the Dark Purveyors suffered horrific degrees of abuse and trauma that shaped them into what they became today. However, their trauma resulted in behaviors that proved to be harmful and/or self-destructive. Therefore, the Purveyors' adoptive families and relatives, as well as their mentors, seek to help them overcome their trauma so they can become better people. Finding a shared purpose in punishing the wicked was what allowed the Purveyors to Ascend. |
| 31 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: While a few of them came from elite backgrounds (Dühroham was the son of nobles, and Voľná Láska was essentially the Princess of her Neo-Alvslog Deer community), all of the Dark Purveyors were originally mortals who were horrifically abused by parental figures. Then they encountered benevolent deities who helped them recover from their trauma, inspiring them to become the divine punishers they are today. |
| 32 | * GoodNeedsEvil: Much like the rest of their adoptive family and relatives, the Dark Purveyors believe good needs to be tested by evil so it can be more prepared to take on beings more evil than them. |
| 33 | * HappilyAdopted: As shown with Dühroham and Voľná Láska, all of the Dark Purveyors were born to AbusiveParents and went through extreme suffering because of their environment. They would be adopted by each of the Four Terrors individually, and though their trauma contributed to a rocky start, they came to see the Four Terrors as much better parental figures than their birth parents had been to them. |
| 34 | * ImmortalityBeginsAtTwenty: Subverted; all members are "Tier III"-ranked Ascendant deities, which, while ancient by mortal standards, makes them incredibly young by divine standards. This is because in the Codexverse, deities "grow" by getting StrongerWithAge. Of the Dark Purveyors, Dühroham is the oldest of them because he Ascended to godhood first. |
| 35 | * 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 addiction as well as the darker side of the Hippie movement like love, nature, and spiritual enlightenment. |
| 36 | * MustMakeAmends: After the 'Swan Song Crisis' ended, the Dark Purveyors proceeded to help with rebuilding the Erobreseg Deer Realms to make up for Swan Song's actions. |
| 37 | * NeverBeHurtAgain: A variant -- the crux of their Ascensions involved them choosing to become divine punishers so they can protect ''others'' from going through the same horrific trauma they themselves went through as mortal youths. |
| 38 | * OurGodsAreDifferent: All members of the Dark Purveyors are Ascendant deities who are also [[EthnicGod divine representatives]] of the race they hailed from, as indicated by them possessing certain magics associated with their race(s). |
| 39 | * QuirkyMinibossSquad: Much like the Dark Purveyors of ''VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw'', they're a five-person band whose members take after the music genre they specialize in, such as classic rock or psychedelic/acid rock. And like their source inspirations, they acted as CoDragons for Swan Song during the 'Swan Song Crisis', though here they also secretly undermined Swan Song by pushing many heroes, including Sky Star and her family, to fight back against the ZombieApocalypse. |
| 40 | * RelatedInTheAdaptation: The Dark Purveyors were not related to each other in ''VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw''. Here, they became adoptive siblings and cousins after the Four Terrors took them in. |
| 41 | * RottenRockAndRoll: Four of the Dark Purveyors play sub-genres of rock: Dühroham plays classic rock, Voľná Láska plays psychedelic/acid rock, Hermaður plays viking metal, and Lázadó plays punk rock. They're also [[GodOfEvil infernal deities]], though it's subverted as they are {{Noble Demon}}s who follow '[[NecessarilyEvil Constructive Evil]]' and punish the wicked. |
| 42 | * SemiDivine: All of the Dark Purveyors would become demi-deities following an epiphany that allows them to Ascend to that point. They would later Ascend to true godhood under the tutelage of various deities. |
| 43 | * 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, using their divine avatars as {{Human Sacrifice}}s as fuel. Once they find out, they are ''furious'' and personally participate in the FinalBattle to help put an end to the Walpurgisnacht. Once it's killed, the Dark Purveyors helped with rebuilding to make up for Swan Song's actions. |

| 53 | Prince Dühroham Erobreseg, born Glorious Legend (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. |
| 54 | ---- |
| 55 | * AbstractApotheosis: What led to him Ascending to [[SemiDivine demi-godhood]] was him choosing to be an infernal punisher like [[ParentalSubstitute Yarost]], believing that no one will suffer like he did as a foal if he went after those who gave in to their inner fury, and/or misused things like technology and music for wicked ends. |
| 56 | * AchievementsInIgnorance: During an academic stay in Malrègnar, he accidentally discovered that his [[{{Technopath}} Technology domain]] gives him control over [[HauntedTechnology Demon technology]]. Both his adoptive family and his Malrègnarian tutors are looking into studying this further. |
| 57 | * ActuallyPrettyFunny: During a ''Codex Equus'' interview, he genuinely laughed in response to Blazing Path's [[DeadpanSnarker quip]] about his hell-fief being "[[StepfordSuburbia a suburban hellhole full of flank-holes]]". |
| 58 | * AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Unlike [[VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw Lewis Legend]], he gets a [[AdaptationalBackstoryChange backstory]] in the Codexverse. Unfortunately, he's depicted here as a ShellShockedVeteran who was raised by his AbusiveParents to be nothing more than an unfeeling killing machine that brought victories for his native kingdom. While he was freed thanks to chance encounters with Blue Suede Heartstrings and Yarost, his upbringing left him with ''horrible'' PTSD, including guilt and [[DeathSeeker a strong desire to die]]. He does get better eventually thanks to support and psychiatric help, but it was still an uphill battle for him. |
| 59 | * AdaptationalBackstoryChange: In ''VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw'', Lewis Legend is an elite zombie from [[{{Hell}} Rotten World]], with no backstory to explain who he is. In the Codexverse, he was a mortal Pegasus who, as a foal, was [[{{Tykebomb}} weaponized]] physically, magically, and psychologically by his AbusiveParents. A chance encounter with Blue Suede Heartstrings [[HeelRealization made him realize his parents' warmongering ways are wrong]], but was actively prevented from turning good until he reached his RageBreakingPoint during a genocidal war campaign, where he snapped and brutally massacred the entire army he was part of. A sojourning Yarost finds him in the throes of his breakdown, kicking off a series of events that not only leads to his native kingdom's destruction, but also his [[DeityOfHumanOrigin Ascension to godhood]] once he overcomes the worst parts of his foalhood psychological conditioning. |
| 60 | * AdaptationalBadass: [[VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw Lewis Legend]] is a superpowered elite zombie who can wield a guitar-gun and drive an elephant-themed MiniMecha, and is a MarathonBoss who takes ''seven finishers'' to kill him. Here, he's a bonafide god who embodies the harmful, enduring aspects of fury, especially when it's applied to things like music and technology. Lewis' [[CruelElephant Elephant]]-themed MiniMecha is depicted here as a powerful 'OneWingedAngel' form where he transforms into a gigantic, demonic, twisted, Elephant-like beast with [[BodyHorror pieces of technology forcibly grafted onto his body]]. He's also a skilled guitarist who was tutored by [[Music/ElvisPresley Blue Suede Heartstrings]] himself, and was a powerful SuperSoldier in his [[{{Tykebomb}} youth]], which granted him enhanced physical capabilities, greater magi reserves, and deadly combat skills. |
| 61 | * AdaptationalHeroism: In ''VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw'', Lewis Legend helped [[BigBad Swan]] spread the ZombieApocalypse he started across San Romero for no other reason than ForTheEvulz. Here, he's a divine punisher of the wicked who follows '[[NecessarilyEvil Constructive Evil]]' and abhors '[[ForTheEvulz Destructive Evil]]'. Notably, he was ''horrified'' when he learns Swan Song intended to summon a [[EldritchAbomination Walpurgisnacht]] -- the very disaster that Lewis Legend helped bring about in ''Lollipop Chainsaw'' -- and actively helped bring it down. Also, in regards to what happened, he's depicted here as an UnwittingPawn who was tricked into letting his avatar be sacrificed as part of Swan Song's ritual, whereas Lewis Legend willingly lets himself be sacrificed by Swan to summon Killabilly. |
| 62 | * AdaptationalSexuality: Lewis Legend is straight in canon and only flirts with Juliet while spouting misogynistic insults at her. Here, he's gay with a [[HasAType preference]] for strong males who proved themselves in battle. |
| 63 | * AdaptationalSkill: In addition to [[VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw Lewis Legend]]'s canon skills, he's a technology buff and a skilled mechanic, which is helped by him being a god of Technology. His music skills are also expanded upon, with him being tutored by [[Music/ElvisPresley Blue Suede Heartstrings]] himself. |
| 64 | * AdaptationNameChange: The name of his motorcycle is changed from "[[VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw Ellyphant]]" to ''Byleth''. In-universe, the reason behind this is because his family reacted negatively when he decided to name his motorcycle "Ellyphant", making him change the name to a better one. |
| 65 | * AdaptationSpeciesChange: Lewis Legend of ''VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw'' is a RevenantZombie. Here, he's a mortal Pegasus who later Ascended and became an Alicorn. |
| 66 | * AgeLift: In canon, all of the Dark Purveyors, him included, are 18 years old. Here, he's a "Tier III"-ranked god who's around ten thousand years old at maximum, and is noted in his entry to be the oldest of the Dark Purveyors. |
| 67 | * AintTooProudToBeg: Being a DeathSeeker at the time, he outright begged Luminiferous to kill him when [[StrikeMeDownWithAllOfYourHatred provoking him]] didn't work. Luminiferous refused, and instead made him his student so he can help him recover from his trauma. |
| 68 | * AllYourPowersCombined: Being an [[WingedUnicorn Alicorn]] gives him the combined magics of all mortal Pony tribes. |
| 69 | * AloofBigBrother: Subverted. Though far from the oldest sibling in his family, he's the oldest of the Dark Purveyors and is stoic, aloof, and tough like his adoptive father, Yarost. However, he's more emotional and affectionate than he appears, and while he does have a history of EmotionSuppression (which was enforced on him by his [[AbusiveParents birth parents]] as a foal), he's working on overcoming that. |
| 70 | * AnimalMotifs: Much like [[VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw Lewis Legend]], he's associated with [[CruelElephant Elephants]], except instead of a motorcycle that transforms into an Elephant-themed MiniMecha, he can turn into an enormous, demonic, and twisted Elephant-like beast whose body is a horrific mixture of flesh and machine, with parts looking like they've been [[BodyHorror forcibly grafted onto him]]. His motorcycle, ''Byleth'', was originally going to be named "Ellyphant", but he changed the name after seeing his family disliked it. It's heavily ironic considering that Elephants usually symbolize the removal of evil and/or obstacles. |
| 71 | * AnthropomorphicPersonification: He's an Alicorn god who embodies Fury, Strength, Music, and Technology. |
| 72 | * AutoKitchen: Being based on the Second Age at its most technologically advanced, one innovation his hell-fief has is automated restaurants with conveyor belts. |
| 73 | * BadassBiker: He drives a divine, custom-made Steamcycle named ''Byleth'', which has [[ComicBook/GhostRider flaming wheels]]. When he rides it, it's usually to [[DraggedOffToHell drag damned shades to their eternal punishment]] and provide himself an alternative method of travel. He's also a GodOfEvil who, in his youth, was a powerful SuperSoldier created by his [[AbusiveParents birth parents]]. |
| 74 | * BaddieFlattery: 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. |
| 75 | --> '''Prince Dühroham Erobreseg:''' Ah, cocky little whore. I like that.\ |
| 76 | '''Sky Star:''' Bring it on, douchebag! I’m gonna EFF! YOU! '''''UP!'''''\ |
| 77 | '''Prince Dühroham Erobreseg:''' I love your passion, babe. Looks like we could make beautiful '''''DEATH''''' together! |
| 78 | * BeAllMySinsRemembered: The main reason why he [[StopWorshippingMe didn't want to be worshiped by mortals]]. Despite choosing to be an infernal punisher like Yarost, he felt guilty and ashamed of his past as a soldier, and couldn't understand why people would want to worship someone who was trained to kill since foalhood. He later got over this after Yarost set him straight on the matter. |
| 79 | * BloodKnight: Much like his adoptive father, Yarost, he revels in battle and [[{{Determinator}} stubbornly keeps on fighting]] until his opponents are defeated/dead, while [[IShallTauntYou goading his opponents to keep fighting him]] out of wounded pride until they exhaust themselves. |
| 80 | * BreakingTheCycleOfBadParenting: His birth parents were horribly abusive to him and treated him more like a [[{{Tykebomb}} weapon]] than a person, which left him a ShellShockedVeteran with incredible amounts of PTSD. By present day, he still has issues, but he's significantly more adjusted than before thanks to Yarost adopting him and receiving psychiatric help. His entry notes that all of his children were adopted due to him being gay, but he's nonetheless a much better parent to them than his birth parents were to him. One of his children is [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/836116391/4928210812 Noo-Noo]], a robotic vacuum cleaner he adopted as his son after Noo-Noo gained sapience. |
| 81 | * BrokenPedestal: He started losing admiration for Blue Suede Heartstrings when he noticed his mentor becoming increasingly uncomfortable around him to the point of ceasing visits to the Bogolenya Deer Pantheon altogether. When he confronted Blue Suede over it and called him a {{Hypocrite}} during the ensuing argument, Blue Suede [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom punched him straight into a wall]] and then ran away for seemingly no reason. Despite repeated attempts to find his mentor, he wouldn't meet him again until after Blue Suede suffered a massive breakdown because the latter kept. Learning that Blue Suede was suffering from three Ages worth of trauma and flaws yet told no one about it left him enraged and heartbroken, and initially planned to [[RageAgainstTheMentor chew him out for his actions]]. |
| 82 | * BrokenTears: He starts crying these immediately after taking a few hits from Yarost and suffering a psychological breakdown over the atrocities he committed, calling himself a "monster", among other things. He later breaks down crying in Luminiferous' forelegs when hearing the latter's experiences with being created as a {{Tykebomb}} for [[SatanicArchetype Morning Star]] hit a little too close to home regarding [[AbusiveParents his own parents]]. |
| 83 | * BrownNote: As a god of Music, he can use MagicMusic to inflict physical and mental pain on his listeners. |
| 84 | * CallingTheOldManOut: After becoming an [[PhysicalGod Alicorn]] and being given his own hell-fief, he would call out the damned shades of his birth parents for abusing him as a foal, before [[PayEvilUntoEvil subjecting them to experiments similar to the ones they performed on him]]. |
| 85 | --> '''Prince Dühroham Erobreseg:''' Strength over weakness. Victory at all costs. Every day, you fools drilled those lessons into my head, hoping I would become your perfect warrior. Your perfect ''weapon''. And yet, I became something far greater than you could ever imagine by finding strength in weakness, and victory... in losing.\ |
| 86 | Tell me, nameless bastards. The cruelty, the bloodshed, and the countless lives you threw away like trash... Did they make you happy? Were they all worth it in the end? |
| 87 | * CastingAShadow: Due to his Music domain being geared towards dark magic, he can use shadow magic, which he can channel through music. When combined with his [[PlayingWithFire fire magic]], he can control flames of darkness that can't be extinguished by normal means. |
| 88 | * ChildSoldier: It's implied that, due to being a {{Tykebomb}} for his birth parents, he was made to fight wars since foalhood. It's deconstructed as psychological conditioning he endured, in addition to his parents' abuse and experiments, and the [[WarIsHell horrors of war]] eventually led to him snapping and breaking down by the time Yarost finds him. It also contributed to his [[ShellShockedVeteran trauma]] as an adult, which he took a long time to recover from. |
| 89 | * CombatTentacles: His OneWingedAngel form has a trunk strong enough to be used as a whip. |
| 90 | * CoolBigBro: Gender-inverted. While he gets along with all the Dark Purveyors, he has the closest relationship with Prince Lázadó, the youngest of the group and his younger adoptive brother. |
| 91 | * CoolBike: He's the owner of ''Byleth'', a divine, custom-made Steamcycle with [[ComicBook/GhostRider flaming wheels]]. When he rides it, it's usually both to [[DraggedOffToHell drag damned shades to their eternal punishment]] and to provide himself an alternative method of travel in place of flying. It's regarded with fear among the Erobreseg Deer, and it is said that those who catch him riding ''Byleth'' are automatically marked for damnation. He originally wanted to name his Steamcycle "Ellyphant", but used a cooler name instead after his family showed their dislike of it. |
| 92 | * CruelElephant: His OneWingedAngel form is an enormous, demonic, and twisted Elephant-like beast whose body is a horrific mixture of flesh and machine, with parts looking like they've been [[BodyHorror forcibly grafted onto him]]. He is also a furious, sadistic GodOfEvil who [[BloodKnight revels in battle]] and derives pleasure from seeing people's anger, especially when it's directed at him. |
| 93 | * CurbStompBattle: While in the throes of his UnstoppableRage, he mistook a sojourning Yarost for a surviving soldier from his native kingdom and attacked him. The 'fight' lasted for less than a minute, and he proceeded to break down [[LaughingMad laughing]] and [[BrokenTears crying]] after taking only a few hits, much to Yarost's surprise. |
| 94 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: He grew up in a Erobreseg Pony kingdom that grew obsessed with war and conquest in response to being in an unforgiving environment, and he was turned into a SuperSoldier by his parents, who only saw him as a weapon. A chance fight with [[Music/ElvisPresley Blue Suede Heartstrings]] awoke his suppressed empathy and ignited a passion for music, but his parents doubled down on their abuse of him because they believed VirtueIsWeakness. His RageBreakingPoint came when, during a military campaign, he realized he was essentially sent to commit genocide against another Erobreseg kingdom for holding peaceful ideologies, and went on a bloody rampage after his commander brutally attempted to make him obey. A sojourning Yarost found him, and they engaged in a CurbStompBattle over a misunderstanding, after which he proceeded to break down [[LaughingMad laughing]] and [[BrokenTears crying]] over what he became. His guilt and trauma was so great that, despite being adopted by Yarost, he couldn't handle living in his father's [[WarIsHell hell-fief]] and ran away with the intention to [[DrivenToSuicide kill himself]]. He would have succeeded had [[BigGood Luminiferous]] not found him in time. |
| 95 | * DarkIsEvil: Played with. He's an Alicorn with a jet-black mane and tail, wears a black leather jacket, and has a OneWingedAngel form where he appears as a demonic elephant-like beast with jet-black skin. He's also a GodOfEvil who is depraved like his [[HappilyAdopted adoptive family]], though he devotes his evil to constructive purposes and is shown to have nobler personality aspects outside of it. He's also a member of the ''Dark'' Purveyors and played a role in spreading Swan Song's ZombieApocalypse, though he ''really'' disagreed with Swan Song's plans to summon a [[EldritchAbomination Walpurgisnacht]]. |
| 96 | * DarkIsNotEvil: Played with. He's an Alicorn with a jet-black mane and tail, wears a black leather jacket, and has a OneWingedAngel form where he appears as a demonic elephant-like beast with jet-black skin. While he's a GodOfEvil who devotes his evil to constructive purposes and has nobler personality aspects outside of it, he is still depraved like the rest of his adoptive family. He's also a member of the ''Dark'' Purveyors and helped Swan Song spread a ZombieApocalypse, though he also undermined Swan Song by pushing many heroes to fight back and personally helped defeat the Walpurgisnacht Swan Song summoned after learning of the latter's treachery. |
| 97 | * DeathSeeker: His guilt and [[ShellShockedVeteran trauma]] were so great that, after Yarost adopted him, he ran away from home with the intent to commit suicide, seeing himself as a 'stain' on the world. When Luminiferous found him and [[InterruptedSuicide intervened]], he first tried [[StrikeMeDownWithAllOfYourHatred provoking Luminiferous]], then outright [[AintTooProudToBeg begged]] him to do the deed when that didn't work. Luminiferous refused and instead took him in as his student to help him recover from his trauma. |
| 98 | * DefusingTheTykeBomb: Much of his life post-adoption focused on overcoming his birth parents' psychological conditioning, such as his enforced LackOfEmpathy. Thanks to his adoptive family, his mentors, and divine therapists, he succeeded for the most part, since he's able to accept that feeling positive emotions is okay and reconciled the act of killing with the desire to protect. |
| 99 | * DeityOfHumanOrigin: Unlike many of his siblings and adoptive cousins, who were born [[SemiDivine demi-deities]] before Ascending to true godhood, he was a mortal Pegasus who Ascended to demi-godhood by choosing to become an infernal punisher like Yarost, then Ascended to true godhood under [[BigGood Luminiferous]]' tutelage. |
| 100 | * DelinquentHair: He styles his mane into a Greaser's pompadour in emulation of his mentor, [[Music/ElvisPresley Blue Suede Heartstrings]]. While he isn't a delinquent, he's a GodOfEvil who embodies the toxic, unfettered aspects of fury and strength, and targets those who misuse things like music and technology for evil. |
| 101 | * DepravedHomosexual: He's gay, and though he's attracted to males in general, he has a thing for strong males who [[WorthyOpponent proved themselves in combat]]. He's also a depraved GodOfEvil who embodies the harmful, enduring, and toxic aspects of Fury and Strength, and is a furious and sadistic BloodKnight who [[IShallTauntYou goads his opponents into fighting him]]. |
| 102 | * DomesticAbuse: Invoked. Damned shades who abused their own families in life without repenting are subjected to the same thing in death, being constantly abused by their spouses, children, and/or relatives with no way out of it. |
| 103 | * DraggedOffToHell: He drags damned shades of wicked, unrepentant sinners down to his hell-fief while riding ''[[CoolBike Byleth]]''. |
| 104 | * DrivenToSuicide: Narrowly averted. He ran away from Yarost's hell-fief with the intent to commit suicide, [[DeathSeeker seeing himself as a 'stain' upon the world]]. Fortunately, Luminiferous [[InterruptedSuicide intervened]], and despite his initial anger over it, him living turned out to be the better option overall. |
| 105 | * EmotionBomb: As a god of Fury, he can produce an [[TheEmpath empathic aura]] that makes people feel angrier in his presence. He can also use music to do this in combination with his Fury domain. |
| 106 | * EmotionEater: As a god of Fury, he can feed off of anger and gain strength from it, with him often being at his most powerful in places full of conflict. |
| 107 | * 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 despite 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. |
| 108 | * TheEmpath: As a god of Fury, he has empathic powers that allow him to sense and encourage people's fury. He can also produce an empathic aura that [[EmotionBomb makes people feel angrier in his presence]]. |
| 109 | * EnemySummoner: As a god of Music, he can use music to summon infernal forces from his family's hell-fiefs, providing quick aid for his allies. |
| 110 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: |
| 111 | ** Much like his adoptive family, he abhors '[[ForTheEvulz Destructive Evil]]' in general. He was enraged when he learned that he is now related to the Children of Ispita via adoption. |
| 112 | ** Both he and the other Dark Purveyors were furious and horrified when they learned [[EmoTeen Swan Song]] tricked them into lending their avatars so he can use them as sacrifices for a ritual to summon a [[EldritchAbomination Walpurgisnacht]]. This influenced their decision to personally help defeat said Walpurgisnacht during the climax of the 'Swan Song Crisis', all of them keeping it occupied so [[VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw Sky Star and Blazing Path]] can put it down for good. |
| 113 | ** He hates those who wage wars for petty reasons, as well as those who weaponize innocent people by experimenting on them. [[OpposeWhatYouSuffered 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. |
| 114 | ** He utterly despises AbusiveParents in general, though much of it is from personal experience as his birth parents had been nothing but cruel, darwinistic, and abusive to him. He notably sees [[VideoGame/DreamingMary Sweet Words]] as "the worst sort of creature" for [[ParentalIncest sexually abusing]] his young daughter, Rosy Dreams. |
| 115 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: Justified. Because his birth parents tried stamping out his natural empathy, he felt genuinely baffled whenever people showed him kindness and sympathy. It took him a long time to accept that feeling positive emotions is okay because he was conditioned since foalhood not to feel anything resembling 'weakness'. |
| 116 | * EvilCounterpart: To Blue Suede Heartstrings. While they're both Music gods, Dühroham uses dark music spells like hypnotism, curses, and summoning infernal forces. And unlike Blue Suede, who grew up poor yet was raised by GoodParents, Dühroham was raised by AbusiveParents who were also warmongering [[AristocratsAreEvil nobles]]. Dühroham also represents what happens when musicians like Blue Suede gave in to their anger. It's invoked; after choosing to be an infernal punisher like Yarost, Dühroham cultivated the image of him being Blue Suede's 'evil counterpart', inspired by his interactions with his mentor. Unfortunately, it contributed to their falling-out when Blue Suede began avoiding Dühroham due to the latter reminding him of all the times he either killed someone or lost control of his anger. However, once he and Blue Suede reconciled, Dühroham would continue serving as this for his mentor. |
| 117 | * EvilSoundsDeep: Like [[VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw Lewis Legend]], he has a deep, 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. |
| 118 | * EvilVersusEvil: He opposes '[[ForTheEvulz Destructive Evil]]' in general, which includes factions like the Children of Ispita. In fact, discovering he's now related to Ispita's family by adoption infuriated him. |
| 119 | * {{Expy}}: He's based on Lewis Legend from ''VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw''. They're both GreaserDelinquents and {{Badass Biker}}s who ride a [[CoolBike flaming motorcycle]], and they're both music-themed villains with a [[InstrumentOfMurder guitar-gun]] and a furious, sadistic personality. However, unlike Lewis, who helped spread a ZombieApocalypse for no other reason than [[ForTheEvulz he could]], Dühroham is essentially a NobleDemon who actively helped stop a similar disaster upon learning what his actions unwittingly led to. |
| 120 | * FeatherFlechettes: Thanks to the [[ExtraOreDinary liquid metal formula]] in his body, he can fire shards of hardened metal with his wings ala [[ComicBook/XMen Archangel]]. |
| 121 | * FictionalFanRealCelebrity: He's based on [[VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw Lewis Legend]], and he became a fan of [[Music/ElvisPresley Blue Suede Heartstrings]] in his mortal youth because his music [[HeelRealization made him realize there's more to life outside of war and killing]]. When Blue Suede himself later offered to become his mentor, he cried TearsOfJoy (though he [[SandInMyEyes vehemently denied it]]). However, Blue Suede's traumas and issues at the time led to a falling-out between them, with him [[BrokenPedestal losing faith in his mentor]] and initially planning to [[RageAgainstTheMentor call Blue Suede out for his failings]], only to reconsider once he sees how ''broken'' his mentor is and realizes he would've made things worse. They apologize to each other and reconcile, restoring his faith and admiration for Blue Suede. |
| 122 | * FlyingCar: Being based on the Second Age at its most technologically advanced, one innovation his hell-fief has is flying vehicles. |
| 123 | * FoodPills: Since foalhood, he was fed "military-grade slop" by his AbusiveParents, who never gave him real food because they only saw him as a weapon. Following his native kingdom's destruction/damnation, the first thing he ate was egg salad sandwiches. He found them to be so delicious that they quickly became his TrademarkFavoriteFood. |
| 124 | * {{Forgiveness}}: He forgives Blue Suede for his flaws and mistakes after learning why he acted the way he did, before apologizing for any harm he inflicted on him. This causes Blue Suede to break down crying. |
| 125 | --> '''Prince Dühroham Erobreseg:''' ...I forgive you, Blue. And... I'm sorry, too. |
| 126 | * FreudianExcuse: Deconstructed. Many of his present behaviors originated from his utterly horrific upbringing as his parents' {{Tykebomb}}, but they're also self-destructive and potentially harmful to others, necessitating the need for others to help him recover from his trauma. |
| 127 | ** His LackOfEmpathy came from his parents trying their damnedest to stamp out all good within him, seeing things like empathy and compassion as "[[VirtueIsWeakness weaknesses]]" that sapientkind is better without. He felt [[EvilCannotComprehendGood genuinely baffled]] whenever people are kind and/or sympathetic to him because of this, and it took him a long time to accept that it's okay to feel positive emotions in general. However, his [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone guilt]] towards the atrocities he committed in his youth is a sign that his empathy is not entirely gone, and many people, from his mentors to his adoptive family, took great care in fostering his empathetic side more. |
| 128 | ** His discomfort with being worshiped, especially in his early days as a demigod, stems from the guilt and shame he felt as a former soldier. Despite choosing to follow in Yarost's hoofsteps, he couldn't understand why people would want to worship him, a person who was trained to kill and butcher innocent people since foalhood. It took Yarost setting him straight on the matter for him to become more tolerant and accepting towards being worshiped. |
| 129 | ** According to Yarost, he was much angrier and more violent in his mortal youth, and he had a lot of [[TraumaButton triggers]] that made him prone to lashing out at his own family at times. He would also freeze up and stand rigidly in place like a soldier awaiting orders whenever someone yelled at him. All this stems from the huge PTSD he gained from his time as his kingdom's SuperSoldier, and it made him unable to deal with living in Yarost's [[WarIsHell hel-fief]] at first. Fortunately, he is able to receive psychiatric help from various therapists and support from both his mentors and family, allowing him to overcome the worst of his traumas. |
| 130 | * FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: He has no tolerance for those who try making excuses to justify their horrible actions, since regardless of what happened, their actions are still their own. His TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to a dead Swan Song is essentially him deconstructing the latter's motives, pointing out how Swan Song is a [[EmoTeen whiny teenager]] who [[MisanthropeSupreme chose to make everyone suffer]] by essentially [[EvilIsPetty throwing one big tantrum over his problems]], instead of rising above it and becoming a better person. However, he [[HypocrisyNod admits]] that he would've ended up like Swan Song if he hadn't been found by people who genuinely cared for him. |
| 131 | * GodInHumanForm: When not punishing damned shades with music, he frequently attends music festivals while disguised as a mortal Pegasus. |
| 132 | * GodOfEvil: He specifically embodies the toxic, harmful aspects of fury and strength, and how people would misuse things like music and technology for malicious ends or to express/vent their anger. However, it's subverted as he follows [[NecessarilyEvil constructive evil]] and his role is to punish those who expressed their anger in self-destructive ways, misused things like technology and music for wicked ends, or both. |
| 133 | * GoodNeedsEvil: Part of his development as a character involves recognizing there are good and bad sides to every concept, and that 'good' concepts need to be balanced out by 'bad' concepts. |
| 134 | ** Due to being raised as a SuperSoldier and made to fight wars for his kingdom since foalhood, he started seeing war as an evil concept that brought nothing but death and suffering, and desired world peace as a result. This largely stems from [[ShellShockedVeteran the guilt he felt regarding the atrocities he committed]], and is implied to be a reason why he made his home a peaceful, rustic estate in his hell-fief. However, during his travels, he is introduced to another side of war as a last-resort solution that one will take to defend one's people/home if there's no other option. He has since acknowledged that there could not be peace without war, even though he personally may not like it. |
| 135 | ** Likewise, he initially saw killing as a bad thing. However, he would learn during his travels that killing is sometimes a necessary solution in certain situations, such as protecting loved ones or dealing with threats that cannot be reasoned with. |
| 136 | ** He initially had a hard time reconciling life with death in general, which stems from guilt for all the innocent lives he took in the name of conquest. After Moon Ray Vaughoof and Blue Suede Heartstrings took him to see Bossa Nova Heartstrings, Blue Suede's older twin brother, he learns that both death and life are part of the natural cycle, and that life is a journey. However, protecting souls from wicked entities is very important as without life, new souls wouldn't be born and Equus would be just a barren rock. Therefore, those who kill people for malicious reasons must be punished. |
| 137 | ** He started taking this approach to music and technology as well. Having heard and seen what music and technology can do when misused by others, he chose to play himself up as an EvilCounterpart to various musicians so he can test their morals by tempting them into sin. He would also tempt people into misusing technology for wicked ends so he would see whether they would resist him or not. |
| 138 | * GreaserDelinquents: He usually dresses up like a Greaser in emulation of his mentor, Blue Suede Heartstrings, sporting a [[DelinquentHair pompadour]] and wearing a [[HellBentForLeather black leather jacket]]. According to his entry, he became one as part of his plan to invoke the image of him being an EvilCounterpart to various musicians like Blue Suede, and also represent the ultimate fate of musicians who became unrepentantly wicked. |
| 139 | * HappilyAdopted: |
| 140 | ** In his mortal youth, he was adopted by [[WarGod Yarost]], who is incredibly sympathetic towards his troubles and wanted to be the good parental-figure that his birth parents weren't. Unfortunately, his extreme PTSD at the time made him unable and unwilling to connect with Yarost because his [[WarIsHell hell-fief]] reminded him of all the atrocities he participated in as a ChildSoldier onward, which factored into his decision to run away. It's after meeting people like Luminferous, Moon Ray Vaughoof, and Blue Suede Heartstrings that he finally accepts Yarost as his father, having recovered from most of his traumas while globe-trotting with his mentors. |
| 141 | ** All of his children were adopted, due to him being gay and accepting only male partners. Yet despite it, he's a loving father to all of them. One of his sons is [[Series/{{Teletubbies}} Noo-Noo]], a [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/836116391/4928210812 robotic vacuum cleaner]] who managed to gain sapience and has the mind of a young, mischievous foal. |
| 142 | * HasAType: He's attracted to males in general, but he especially has a thing for strong males who have [[WorthyOpponent proven themselves in combat]] -- in his words, "I love a guy who can kick my flank." While this might be due to his militarized upbringing, he has explicitly stated his sexual preferences are not related to his past at all -- just something he naturally feels. |
| 143 | * HatePlague: As a god of Fury, he can essentially invoke this by using his empathic powers to make people angrier in his presence. |
| 144 | * HatesTheirParent: Due to how cruel and abusive they were to him as a foal, he understandably hates his birth parents and has completely disowned them as family. Whenever he brings them up, he only refers to them as his "leaders". |
| 145 | * HeelRealization: A chance fight with Blue Suede Hearstrings caused him to realize there's more to life than just fighting in wars and killing people for the sake of survival, and he decided he wanted to be a musician instead. Unfortunately, his AbusiveParents doubled down on their abuse of him as he was developing "[[VirtueIsWeakness weaknesses]]" as a result of his growing love for music, which contributed to his eventual RageBreakingPoint and psychological breakdown by the time [[WarGod Yarost]] finds him. |
| 146 | * HellBentForLeather: He wears a black leather jacket in emulation of his mentor, [[Music/ElvisPresley Blue Suede Heartstrings]]. Though he does wear divine black barding with fiery orange designs for certain occasions. |
| 147 | * HeroWorshipper: Deconstructed. He's a huge fan of [[Music/ElvisPresley Blue Suede Heartstrings]] and dresses like a [[GreaserDelinquents Greaser]] in emulation of him. According to him, Blue Suede's music changed his life because it made him [[HeelRealization realize]] there's more to life than war and conquest. And when Blue Suede became his mentor, he cried TearsOfJoy (though he [[SandInMyEyes vehemently denied it]]). Then he sees Blue Suede's flawed sides firsthand, leading to the discovery that Blue Suede had been hiding his traumas and flaws for three Ages. He is so heartbroken and angry that he initially planned to [[RageAgainstTheMentor chew Blue Suede out for it]] after the latter's near-Fall, but Yarost talked him out of it. It's later reconstructed -- once he learns from Blue Suede why he acted the way he did, he realizes he and his mentor aren't so different after all, after which they reconcile and share a mutual apology, regaining his respect for Blue Suede in the process. |
| 148 | * HiddenDepths: Despite being a god of Fury and the militarized aspects of Strength, he admits he desired world peace, as he saw war as an evil concept that brought nothing but death, pain, and suffering. This is implied to be the reason why his hell-fief's home appears as a peaceful, rustic estate. However, his [[WalkingTheEarth global travels]], as well as learning from the [[DontFearTheReaper Trimortidae]] and Yarost, made him acknowledge that [[GoodNeedsEvil it's impossible to live without conflict or death]], even if he personally may not like it. |
| 149 | * HypocrisyNod: While he hates those like [[VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw Swan Song]] who use excuses to justify their horrible actions, he admits he would've ended up in a similar situation had he not been found during his lowest moments by people who genuinely cared for him. |
| 150 | * IAmAMonster: During his psychological breakdown, he called himself a "monster" (among other things), something that surprised a sojourning Yarost during their encounter. The similarity of their words got him compared to Joyous Freedom, who experienced a similar breakdown after realizing what she did during her europhic Ascension to demonhood. |
| 151 | --> '''Glorious Legend:''' ''I'm a monster! A BEAST!'' '''''A HARBINGER OF DEATH!''''' |
| 152 | * ImmuneToMindControl: Being a god of Strength grants him an indomitable will that allows him to shrug off most brainwashing and mind-control spells, and overpower the telepathic influence of [[PsychicPowers psykers]]. |
| 153 | * IncompatibleOrientation: He's gay in a family where things like BrotherSisterIncest, ParentalIncest, and KissingCousins are common. While he does love his sisters and female cousins, he often has to reject their advances (which he admits makes him feel bad) because he's only attracted to his brothers and male cousins. |
| 154 | * IronicHell: He rules over a hell-fief where damned shades are punished according to the crimes they committed in relation to his domains of Fury, Strength, Music, and Technology. Fittingly, his hell-fief resembles a technologically advanced metropolis inspired by elements of the Second Age at its height. |
| 155 | ** Those who gave in to their inner fury are endlessly attacked, brutalized, and/or killed by [[SerialKiller serial killers]], vicious gangs, [[GoingPostal disgruntled 'employees']], etc. [[TheBerserker Berserkers]] are forced to live in constant terror and suffering as fleeing refugees, or thrown into battlefields where they are hopelessly slaughtered. Even those who were [[AbusiveParents violently abusive to their families]] are trapped in [[DomesticAbuse abusive marriages]] where they are the ones being victimized, with their spouses and children turning the tables on their abusers. |
| 156 | ** Those who developed twisted standards of strength end up victimized by the same beliefs they preached in life, with those who prioritized both military and cultural superiority above all else being punished by being conquered, destroyed, and/or subjugated by stronger enemy forces in an endless cycle. Those who weaponized innocent people, whether by increasing their magical/physical capabilities or outright removing their free will and ability to feel sapient empathy, are themselves subjected to the same horrible experiments. However, the punishment depends on the type of strength, as various damned shades like unrepentant [[TheBully bullies]], serial killers, [[FantasticRacism racial bigots]], tyrants, [[SorcerousOverlord magic users]], etc. are being punished for promoting their own twisted brand of strength. |
| 157 | ** Those who oppressed music and/or misused it for selfish ends, such as propaganda, end up having their auditory senses maximized and forced to endure listening to unending, horrific cacophonies in twisted concerts, all while strapped to audience stands and chairs. Alternatively, damned shades are turned into living instruments that are played in parties by Dühroham's infernal subordinates and family. Yet another punishment involves being rendered completely deaf and crippled so they can't play anything anymore, which is considered to be one of the worst things to happen for musicians. Those who also mistreated their bandmates, fellow musicians, and/or managers in life are subjected to the same thing themselves, and the same could apply to abusive managers. |
| 158 | ** Those who misused technology, limited technology to the privileged few, and/or oppressed technology for various reasons like racism or traditionalism, are punished by being crushed or ground into paste by mechanical parts, having both machines and weapons come to life to tear apart their former wielders, being used as test subjects to test new pieces of technology, and being painfully converted into cyborg servants who are forced to do grueling, agonizing tasks until they wither away to nothing. Recently, Dühroham has included damned shades of Clovenists who endangered lives with their unfettered technological progress, creators of Judicial Replacements, and, following events like the Exosus Conflict, anti-Synthetic Automaton bigots who advocated the destruction of sapient machinery just for developing sapience, regardless of what they actually did to deserve it. |
| 159 | * IShallTauntYou: He preys on his victims' insecurities by bragging about his own strength while taunting others' lack thereof. In battle, he goads his opponents to keep fighting him out of wounded pride until they exhaust themselves. |
| 160 | * LackOfEmpathy: Justified. He was born in a warmongering kingdom that believed in conquest and victory at all costs, and his parents hammered into him since foalhood that VirtueIsWeakness. When a fight with [[Music/ElvisPresley Blue Suede Heartstrings]] brings out his repressed empathy and causes him to [[HeelRealization realize that his actions were wrong]], his parents doubled down on their abuse, believing he became 'soft'. Even after being freed and adopted by Yarost, he couldn't understand why people are acting so kind to him due to his abusive upbringing. Ironically, he felt [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone extremely guilty]] for the deaths and destruction he caused as his kingdom's SuperSoldier, so it's a sign that his empathy is not completely gone. It took him a long time to accept that feeling positive emotions is okay, and he considers himself lucky that his parents didn't think to [[EmotionSuppression remove his emotions completely]] in their experiments. |
| 161 | --> '''Prince Dühroham Erobreseg:''' ...I always wondered why my... ''leaders''... never got rid of my emotions. If they really wanted to weaponize me, if they knew before-hoof what I would become later on, they should have nipped my 'problem' in the bud much earlier. But they didn't, only using fear and abuse to keep me in line. Perhaps I was one of the luckier ones. |
| 162 | * LaughingMad: He starts laughing immediately after taking a few hits from Yarost and suffering a psychological breakdown over the atrocities he committed, calling himself a "monster", among other things. |
| 163 | * MagicMusic: As a god of Music, he has standard abilities like musical [[HealingHands healing]] and [[SuperEmpowering empowerment]], providing buffs, and [[MakeSomeNoise sound magic]]. However, his domain works in a different way -- unlike many Music deities, he uses dark music spells to do things like hypnotize people, inflict various curses, [[BrownNote inflict physical and mental pain on his listeners]], and destroy his surroundings. He can also use [[CastingAshadow shadow magic]] thanks to his domain working differently, use music to summon either [[EnemySummoner infernal forces from his family's hell-fiefs]] or dead spirits, and combine it with other powers/domains for devastating effect. |
| 164 | * TheMagnificent: Known as "the Furious Musician", due to being a divine musician and a GodOfEvil who specifically embodies the harmful, enduring aspects of Fury. |
| 165 | * 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 [[SuperScream sonic screams]] that inflict serious burns, or concussive shockwaves that temporarily engulf areas in darkness. |
| 166 | * ManlyGay: Despite his flirtatious tendencies towards males and females alike, he's actually gay. He's attracted to males, including his own [[BrotherSisterIncest brothers]] and [[KissingCousins male cousins]], but he especially has a thing for strong males who can, in his words, "[[WorthyOpponent kick [his] flank]]". He's also a masculine WarriorPrince, a BadassBiker, and a technology buff who loves studying and/or tinkering with machines, though a few of his hobbies are not "manly" in a conventional sense, like reading comic books or playing video games. |
| 167 | * MasterOfIllusion: He can use MagicMusic to create reality-warping illusions. |
| 168 | * MeaningfulName: |
| 169 | ** According to him, his birth name, Glorious Legend, was given to him by his AbusiveParents because all they saw in him was the potential to become a great warrior, nothing else. He equates it to being treated like a glorified killing machine who went after things that threatened his native kingdom's survival. |
| 170 | ---> '''Prince Dühroham Erobreseg:''' My... ''leaders''... named me 'Glorious Legend' because all they saw was my potential to be a warrior. I was to bring victories for my home and be its hero. And so they molded me, twisted me, and equipped me with all the tools I was to use in their... ''ahem'', 'glorious' conquests. In short, I was nothing but a glorified killing machine that wiped out anything my home saw as a threat to its survival. |
| 171 | ** His current name, Dühroham, translates to "burst of anger" in Hungarian. This not only evokes his relationship with [[WarGod Yarost]] as the latter's adoptive son, but also refers to his role as a divine punisher who went after those who let their anger influence them into doing horrible things. |
| 172 | * MeaningfulRename: His birth name is Glorious Legend. Once he Ascends to true godhood, he would be renamed Dühroham Erobreseg, after the Deer realms his adoptive family/pantheon looked after. Dühroham also translates to "burst of anger" in Hungarian, which is appropriate considering he's a god of Fury who punishes those who gave in to their inner fury without repenting. |
| 173 | * MirrorCharacter: As Yarost [[NotSoDifferentRemark points out]], both he and Blue Suede Heartstrings have hurt, betrayed, and killed their fair share of people, which is rooted in extreme trauma that they both suffered at some point in their lives. Eventually, with no one to turn to for help, they snap in the worst ways possible. This is what influences him to be more understanding of Blue Suede's actions and mindset at the time, leading to him forgiving and reconciling with his mentor. |
| 174 | * ModestRoyalty: Downplayed. He's a Prince and he usually wears a [[HellBentForLeather leather jacket]] in emulation of his mentor, Blue Suede, though he does wear divine black barding with fiery orange designs for certain occasions. |
| 175 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: |
| 176 | ** Deconstructed and played for drama in his mortal youth. He has long since realized that his parents and kingdom's warmongering ways were wrong ever since he got into a fight with Blue Suede Heartstrings. But his parents' abuse and [[VirtueIsWeakness contempt for weakness]], combined with being helpless to do anything about it, caused his anger to boil. One day, after realizing he was ordered to conquer a peaceful kingdom, he ''[[RageBreakingPoint snapped]]'' and murdered the army he was part of. When Yarost found him, he engaged him in a [[CurbStompBattle pitifully one-sided fight]] before breaking down [[LaughingMad laughing]] and [[BrokenTears crying]], overcome with guilt and utterly shellshocked by his horrific experiences. |
| 177 | ** Though more subdued compared to the above example, he also has a moment of this after learning of Blue Suede Heartstrings' [[DarkAndTroubledPast troubled history]], making him realize that he partially contributed to his mentor's increasing trauma by [[TraumaButton calling him a hypocrite]]. He proceeds to forgive Blue Suede for his previous actions and apologize for any harm he caused him, causing Blue Suede to break down crying. |
| 178 | * NamedByTheAdaptation: His guitar-gun, unnamed in ''VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw'', is called ''[[Music/{{ACDC}} Highway to Hell]]'' here. |
| 179 | * 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 [[SuperScream 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. |
| 180 | * ParentalAbandonment: His birth parents were killed by the [[GodOfEvil Four Terrors]] during a 'Calling the Terrors' sanction that destroyed his native kingdom. He doesn't begrudge [[WarGod Yarost]] for it and doesn't really care that his birth parents died, since they were [[AbusiveParents horrifically abusive]] to him in life. |
| 181 | * ParentalSubstitute: His entry notes that all of his children were adopted, due to him being gay. Despite this, he is a loving father figure, which is a lot more than what his [[AbusiveParents birth parents]] had done for him as a foal. |
| 182 | ** He became the adoptive father of [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/836116391/4928210812 Noo-Noo]], a sapient robotic vacuum cleaner. Originally, Dühroham built Noo-Noo to help him tidy up his mansion, but Noo-Noo later [[GrewBeyondTheirProgramming developed self-awareness and the mind of a mischievous foal]]. Not wanting to put him to work in torturing damned souls, or knowing what to do with him in general, Dühroham decided to adopt Noo-Noo as his son instead and is a loving father-figure for him. |
| 183 | * PayEvilUntoEvil: As an infernal punisher, his duty is to torment those who committed crimes related to his portfolio, such as becoming furious berserkers who killed indiscriminately, turning innocent people into weapons to fight wars, and misusing things like music and technology for evil. In particular, he got his revenge on his [[AbusiveParents birth parents]] for treating him like a weapon since foalhood by performing cruel experiments on them for eternity. |
| 184 | * PlayingWithFire: As a god of Fury, he can use Fire magic in relation to his domain like Yarost can. He is capable of generating fire for various applications like [[EnergyWeapon beams]], [[BreathWeapon fire-breathing]], constructs, and [[BarrierWarrior barriers]], as well as [[ElementalShapeshifter turning himself into a Fire elemental]]. He also can combine his Fire magic with [[CastingAShadow Shadow magic]] to create shadowy flames that can't be extinguished by normal means. |
| 185 | * PreAsskickingOneLiner: His folder/entry quote is the very same quote that [[VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw Lewis Legend]] would say to Juliet Starling right before his [[MarathonBoss boss battle]] occurs. |
| 186 | --> '''Prince Dühroham Erobreseg:''' Rock n' Roll is here to stay;'' '''''YOU'RE NOT!''''''' |
| 187 | * PreMortemOneLiner: During 'Final Ragnarock', he would say this line before firing ''[[InstrumentOfMurder Highway to Hell]]'' upon hordes of demons, Fallen warriors, sorcerers, monsters, and the like: |
| 188 | --> '''Prince Dühroham Erobreseg:''' I have a feeling when I start playing, you’re just gonna '''''[[SuddenlyShouting DIIIIIIIIIIIE!!!]]''''' |
| 189 | * PunchedAcrossTheRoom: He gets punched straight through a wall by Blue Suede Heartstrings after calling him a [[TraumaButton hypocrite]] during a heated argument, with Blue Suede avoiding him afterward out of guilt over hurting one of his students and fear of receiving [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown an even worse retaliation]]. Once he learns why Blue Suede punched him, he becomes more understanding and forgives him for it, leading to their reconciliation. |
| 190 | * 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 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. |
| 191 | * RazorWings: Thanks to the [[ExtraOreDinary liquid metal formula]] in his body, he can form metal wing blades. |
| 192 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: After the 'Swan Song Crisis' ends, he gives a ''brutal'' one to Swan Song's spirit, calling him a "[[EmoTeen whiny teenager]]" who is essentially throwing a huge tantrum over [[EvilIsPetty being passed over by the pretty Doe he never asked out]]. |
| 193 | --> '''Prince Dühroham Erobreseg:''' ''(roaring)'' '''''LOOK AT ME, SWAN SONG! I HAD SUFFERED JUST LIKE YOU DID, AND MORE! MANY OF MY FAMILY, THOUGH BLOOD WE MAY NOT BE, HAD SUFFERED ALSO! AND YET WE ALL FOUND A PURPOSE AND A REASON TO LIVE IN SPITE OF IT! YOU, ON THE OTHER HOOF, ARE JUST A WHINY TEENAGER WHO'S FULL OF SHIT, RUINING EVERYTHING FOR EVERY-CREATURE ELSE, ALL BECAUSE YOU WERE PASSED OVER BY A BLUSHING DOE THAT YOU DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO TALK TO!''''' |
| 194 | * RebuiltPedestal: After Yarost talks him out of his plan to [[RageAgainstTheMentor call out Blue Suede]], he approaches Blue Suede with a calmer mind and has a talk with him instead. During the conversation, he learns the truth: Blue Suede avoided him partially because he was constantly reminded of all the times he killed people or gave in to his rage, and partially because he felt extremely guilty for hurting his own student in anger and was afraid of being subjected to more abuse in retaliation. This makes him realize that he and Blue Suede are not so different from each other, and they reconcile after he forgives Blue Suede and they share a mutual apology. |
| 195 | * RelatedInTheAdaptation: All of the Dark Purveyors, him included, are completely unrelated in ''VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw''. Here, they're a band consisting of adoptive/biological siblings and cousins who shared a collective desire to play music. |
| 196 | * RequiredSecondaryPowers: His Music domain gives him divinely [[SuperHearing enhanced hearing]] and the accompanying resistance to protect him from deafness. |
| 197 | * RobotMaid: Being based on the Second Age at its most technologically advanced, one innovation his hell-fief has is robotic servants. Many of them are damned shades who were painfully converted into {{Cyborg}} servants against their will, then made to perform grueling, agonizing tasks until they wither away to nothing. |
| 198 | * RottenRockAndRoll: His music genre of choice is [[RockAndRoll classic rock]], which stems from how listening to Blue Suede Heartstrings' music [[HeelRealization made him realize there's more to life than just war and conquest]]. He's also a sadistic and furious GodOfEvil, though a constructive one who punishes mortals for committing crimes related to his domains of Fury, Strength, Music, and Technology. |
| 199 | * RousingSpeech: As a god of Strength, he can rally his followers with rousing speeches. |
| 200 | * {{Seers}}: As a god of Fury, he has a form of precognition that makes him see what happens when people give in to their inner fury or not. |
| 201 | * SemiDivine: He became an Alicorn demigod by choosing to be a divine punisher like Yarost. Later, he would Ascend to true godhood under Luminiferous' tutelage. |
| 202 | * ShapeshifterWeapon: As a god of Technology, he can turn his own body parts into weapons. |
| 203 | * ShellShockedVeteran: What he became post-adoption. While he was freed from his birth parents' influence, he became so traumatized by what he experienced that living in Yarost's [[WarIsHell hell-fief]] constantly put him on edge, his PTSD triggered by the violence and bloodshed. He also felt so guilty for the atrocities he did as a SuperSoldier that he ran away with the intention to [[DrivenToSuicide kill himself]], though thankfully, [[BigGood Luminiferous]] found him in time. In addition, he desired world peace because he saw war as nothing but an evil concept that brought death, pain, and suffering. He gets better thanks to his mentors, his therapists, and his adoptive family, though it took him a long time to get there and he still has some issues left. |
| 204 | * ShockAndAwe: His [[{{Technopath}} Technology domain]] gives him limited lightning powers, but he prefers to use his [[PlayingWithFire fire magic]]. |
| 205 | * SorryImGay: Due to being physically attractive, he has a lot of female admirers, including his own sisters and female cousins. Unfortunately, [[IncompatibleOrientation his preference for guys]] means he has to reject their advances a lot. He admits he feels bad whenever that happens. |
| 206 | * SpellBlade: As a god of Technology, he can empower weapons with various buffs, like protection from jamming. |
| 207 | * StepfordSuburbia: His hell-fief resembles a Second Age-esque metropolis with technologically advanced suburban neighborhoods, towns, and cities, and a thriving music scene. His home is a peaceful, rustic estate where he plays music and tinkers with machinery. However, it's a literal hellhole where damned shades are constantly abused, massacred, and brutalized in various ways, and forced to live in ghettos and/or war-torn environments inspired by the 'Great Wars Era'. This is invoked, as his hell-fief is designed to punish those who gave in to their inner rage and/or bloodlust, or misused things like music and technology for selfish ends. Blazing Path also calls it "a suburban hellhole full of flank-holes", [[ActuallyPrettyFunny which gets him cracking up]]. |
| 208 | * TheStoic: Like Yarost, he's stoic, aloof, and tough. Justified, as his birth parents conditioned him to [[EmotionSuppression suppress his own emotions]] because having empathy is seen as [[VirtueIsWeakness weakness]] in combat. |
| 209 | * StopWorshippingMe: Initially, during his early days as a [[SemiDivine demigod]], he shared Blue Suede Heartstrings' discomfort with being worshiped by mortals, though in his case it's out of guilt and shame towards his past actions. He genuinely couldn't understand why people would want to worship a former {{Tykebomb}} who was groomed since foalhood to kill and butcher innocents. It took Yarost setting him straight for him to be more accepting and tolerant towards being worshiped. |
| 210 | * StrikeMeDownWithAllOfYourHatred: After his suicide attempt was stopped by Luminiferous, he tried provoking the Alicorn into killing him. When that didn't work, he outright begged Luminiferous to kill him. Luminiferous refused and instead made him his student to help him recover from his trauma. |
| 211 | * SuperEmpowering: As a god of Strength, he can empower his mortal/infernal followers physically and mentally. |
| 212 | * SuperHearing: His Music domain gives him divinely enhanced hearing and [[RequiredSecondaryPowers the accompanying resistance to protect him from deafness]]. |
| 213 | * SuperReflexes: Being a SuperSoldier gives him a faster reaction time, to where he can catch arrows in mid-air. |
| 214 | * SuperScream: As a god of Music, he can unleash potent sonic screams. When combined with his [[PlayingWithFire fire magic]], his screams can inflict serious burns. |
| 215 | * SuperSoldier: Cultura calls him the Fourth Age equivalent of one. Thanks to the experiments his [[AbusiveParents birth parents]] performed on him, he has enhanced physical capabilities, greater magic reserves, and a faster reaction time to the point of [[ArrowCatch catching arrows in mid-air]]. He can also [[ExtraOreDinary manipulate metal]] thanks to being injected with a liquid metal formula similar to Broken Fang's, coating himself with metal like armor, [[RazorWings forming metal wing blades]], and [[FeatherFlechettes firing shards of hardened metal with his wings]]. Naturally, his being a super-soldier comes with combat training and skill in weaponry. He would become even more powerful after Ascending to godhood, and he would learn more about combat from various deities, both inside and outside the Bogolenya Deer Pantheon. |
| 216 | * SuperStrength: As a SuperSoldier, he has enhanced strength, and becoming a god of Strength made him even stronger than is the norm for his divine 'age'. His [[OneWingedAngel elephant form]] also enhances his strength tenfold. |
| 217 | * SuperToughness: As a SuperSoldier, he has enhanced endurance, and becoming a god of Strength made him even more durable than is the norm for his divine 'age'. His [[OneWingedAngel elephant form]] also enhances his endurance tenfold. |
| 218 | * TeachHimAnger: He has been provoking and prodding Prince Steel Barricade to make him show his anger more on account of the Terran Prince being extremely [[TheStoic stoic]] to cope with [[TheseHandsHaveKilled his own trauma]]. |
| 219 | * TearsOfJoy: He cried in joy when Blue Suede Heartstrings, whom he idolized, decided to make him his student. However, he [[SandInMyEyes kept denying it]] when asked during ''Codex Equus'' interviews, forcing Jade Shell to ask Blue Suede instead. |
| 220 | --> '''Jade Shell:''' Dühroham kept denying that he cried after becoming Blue Suede’s student during our interview. The only reason why I know he did cry is because I had to ask Blue Suede himself. |
| 221 | * {{Technopath}}: As a god of Technology, he can control technology in various ways, such as activating dormant technology, dismantling/reconstructing machines at extremely fast rates, and creating makeshift suits of armor from scrap parts. He has psychic knowledge on any machine, allowing him to know how to fix any flaws/glitches affecting them. He can [[SpellBlade empower weapons with buffs]] (such as protection from jamming), [[ShapeshifterWeapon turn his own body parts into weapons]], and cast spells to grant machines and weapons some degree of sapience and autonomy to punish damned shades who abused technology in life. Unusually, his domain includes controlling [[HauntedTechnology Demon technology]], which he discovered by [[AchievementsInIgnorance accident]] during his academic stay in Malrègnar. Both his family and Malrègnarian tutors are looking into studying this further. |
| 222 | * {{Telepathy}}: As a god of Fury, he has telepathic powers that allow him to sense and encourage people's inner fury. His domain of Strength also gives him a telepathic ability to sense what people consider to be 'true' strength. |
| 223 | * TookALevelInKindness: In his mortal youth, he was a SuperSoldier who was taught to believe that VirtueIsWeakness and felt [[EvilCannotComprehendGood baffled]] every time someone showed him compassion. He was also much angrier and more violent back then due to untreated PTSD. In the present, he's still an angry and aloof god, but he's also much more empathetic to others, enjoys partaking in his hobbies of music and technology, and is a loving father to his adoptive children. He's also more forgiving of others thanks to being around Luminiferous and Moon Ray Vaughoof, as shown with him forgiving Blue Suede Heartstrings for his flaws and mistakes. |
| 224 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: He loves egg salad sandwiches, and often munches on them even during work. According to him, they were the first thing he ate that ''wasn't'' "[[FoodPills military-grade slop]]". He also [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/877792481/4932471015 treated Blue Suede Heartstrings to some egg salad sandwiches]] to reward his mentor for passing his SecretTestOfCharacter in handling his repressed anger. |
| 225 | * {{Tykebomb}}: Deconstructed. Because his birth parents groomed him to be a SuperSoldier and treated him like one for much of his mortal life, he was left with horrible PTSD and an inability to properly feel/understand empathy for others. He also felt so guilty over the atrocities he committed for his kingdom that he became a DeathSeeker. |
| 226 | * UnwittingPawn: He and his fellow Purveyors lent their avatars to help Swan Song create a ZombieApocalypse as part of a DealWithTheDevil they made. What they didn't know was that Swan Song intended to summon a [[EldritchAbomination Walpurgisnacht]] and sacrificed the Purveryors' avatars to do so by tricking Sky Star into killing them off one by one. Once he learns of it, he is ''furious'', influencing him and the other Purveyors to personally help stop the Walpurgisnacht and kill it. |
| 227 | * VillainousCrush: It's rumored InUniverse that he developed a crush on Prince Steel Barricade, Emperor Golden Scepter's eleventh-born son and the Alicorn demigod of Technology, likely due to his [[WorthyOpponent strength]] and sharing similar experiences in breaking down over their atrocities. |
| 228 | * VirtueIsWeakness: Deconstructed. A huge reason why he was baffled by displays of kindness and sympathy, especially when directed at him, is because his birth parents hammered into him that such things are 'weaknesses' to be excised. Ironically, they never thought to outright remove his emotions, which he considers himself "lucky" for. This upbringing contributed to his overall trauma and left him unable to empathize with people, including his adoptive family and relatives. It took him a long time to accept that feeling positive emotions in general was okay. |
| 229 | * WalkingTheEarth: Much of his character development occurred while he was traveling across the world, whether with Luminiferous, Moon Ray Vaughoof, or Blue Suede Heartstrings. All three of them helped him overcome his extreme trauma for the most part, later influencing him to choose to be a divine punisher and Ascend to demi-godhood. |
| 230 | * WasItReallyWorthIt: During an exchange with the damned shades of his [[AbusiveParents birth parents]], he asks them if their warmongering ways and the countless lives they "threw away like trash" were ultimately worth it in the end. It's not known whether they answered him or not. |
| 231 | * WeatherManipulation: He's skilled with weather magic due to him being a former Pegasus. He specializes in the [[PlayingWithFire heat aspects]] with it, being able to generate heat and weaponize searing-hot [[BlowYouAway winds]] that can incinerate/melt most materials. |
| 232 | * WingedUnicorn: Post-Ascension, he became an Alicorn with a jet-black mane and tail made of smoke (it turns into [[FlamingHair fire]] when he's [[BurningWithAnger sufficiently angry]]). He doesn't have a magical wing gradient yet due to his current divine 'age', but he will grow one once he gets older. |
| 233 | * WorthyOpponent: He's gay, but he's especially attracted to strong males who can best him in combat. This might be why he developed a crush on Prince Steel Barricade, the Alicorn demigod of Technology, on account of his strength as a WarriorPrince of the Terran Empire. |

| 243 | Princess Voľná Láska (her entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Equestria-Deities-and-Divines-Part-61-884432948 here]]) is the Deer goddess of Addiction, Enlightenment, Love, and Nature, and is an adoptive member of the Deti Uzhasov. |
| 244 | ---- |
| 245 | * AbstractApotheosis: Like her cousin Dühroham, she Ascended to [[SemiDivine demi-godhood]] by choosing to become an infernal punisher, believing she can protect people from suffering like she did as a fawn if she went after those who committed crimes relating to addiction, enlightenment, and nature fanaticism. |
| 246 | * 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, Joyous Freedom, she overcame msot of her trauma and directed her experiences to higher causes, like punishing the wicked. |
| 247 | * AdaptationalBackstoryChange: In ''VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw'', Mariska is an elite zombie from [[{{Hell}} Rotten World]], with no backstory to explain who she is. In the Codexverse, she was a mortal Deer doe who, as a fawn, was turned into a JunkieProphet by her parents so they can exploit her precognitive visions. Her fawnhood friend Tiszta tried saving her and was [[CruelAndUnusualDeath brutally executed]] as punishment. A sojourning Pokhot later finds her while she was suffering an overdose, kicking off a series of events that not only leads to her Neo-Alvslog community's destruction, but also her [[DeityOfHumanOrigin Ascension to godhood]] once she overcomes the worst parts of her trauma and grief. |
| 248 | * AdaptationalBadass: [[VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw Mariska]] is a superpowered elite zombie who can play the sitar and, out of the Dark Purveyors, has more mystical powers like illusions, teleportation, and levitation. Here, she's a bonafide goddess who embodies the consequences of Addiction, as well as the harmful aspects of Enlightenment, Love, and Nature. In addition to being a skilled musician who was personally tutored by [[Music/StevieRayVaughan Moon Ray Vaughoof]], one of the greatest Blues musicians of the Second Age, she has even stronger PsychicPowers, can conjure illusions to LotusEaterMachine degrees, and is a '[[TheAce prodigy deity]]', being a prodigy in [[GreenThumb plant magic]] in her mortal youth. She also has a OneWingedAngel form where she turns into a gigantic, enthrallingly beautiful butterfly-like creature, something that Mariska didn't have. |
| 249 | * AdaptationalHeroism: In ''VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw'', Mariska helped [[BigBad Swan]] start a ZombieApocalypse simply ForTheEvulz. Here, she's a divine punisher of the wicked who follows '[[NecessarilyEvil Constructive Evil]]' and abhors '[[ForTheEvulz Destructive Evil]]'. Notably, she was ''horrified'' when she learns Swan Song intended to summon a [[EldritchAbomination Walpurgisnacht]] -- the very disaster that Mariska helped bring about in ''Lollipop Chainsaw'' -- and actively helped bring it down. Also, in regards to what happened, she's depicted here as an UnwittingPawn who was tricked into letting her avatar be sacrificed as part of Swan Song's ritual, whereas Mariska willingly lets herself be sacrificed by Swan to summon Killabilly. |
| 250 | * AdaptationalJerkass: Unlike Mariska, she was a TroubledSympatheticBigot by virtue of being raised in an intolerant community that styled itself after the Alvslog Deer Herds. Her racist beliefs and puristic views of evil alienated both her infernal adoptive family and her noble relatives, until she was forced to see that her behavior was wrong by interacting with non-Deer deities outside the Bogolenya Deer Pantheon. This led to her becoming the AffablyEvil, carefree hippie that Mariska is in the game. |
| 251 | * AdaptationalSkill: Unlike [[VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw Mariska]], she's an avid gardener, and she's [[SupremeChef good at cooking and making tea blends]]. |
| 252 | * AdaptationSpeciesChange: Mariska of ''VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw'' is a RevenantZombie. Here, she's a Deer goddess. |
| 253 | * AnthropomorphicPersonification: She's a Deer goddess who embodies Addiction, Enlightenment, Love, and Nature. |
| 254 | * AppearanceIsInTheEyeOfTheBeholder: As a goddess of Love (specifically Eros), she can shapeshift according to her target(s)' desires. |
| 255 | * {{Arcadia}}: Harshly subverted. Her hell-fief appears as a natural paradise with lush forests, tranquil temples, and forest communities that are relatively free from authoritarian influence, and multiple paths that people can take if they ever desire to travel. But underneath the utopian veneer is the hell-fief's true purpose: To punish damned shades for crimes relating to addiction, religious/spiritual enlightenment, love, and nature. The hell-fief is actually a DeathWorld where everything is extremely deadly, leaving no hope for anyone to live InHarmonyWithNature as is often believed. Even traveling isn't safe, as damned shades are forced to wander endlessly as punishment for prioritizing travel above everything else, in addition to being preyed on by dysfunctional addicts, [[SinisterMinister corrupt religious/spiritual figures]], and sexual predators. |
| 256 | * AstralProjection: Her Enlightenment domain gives her astral projection. |
| 257 | * BadPowersBadPeople: Subverted. She's a goddess of Addiction, and she is an evil goddess who uses her domain to lure people into addiction. However, because she follows '[[NecessarilyEvil Constructive Evil]]', she gets people addicted to test their morals and to weed out the wicked from the innocent. |
| 258 | * BestialityIsDepraved: It's heavily implied that the Neo-Alvslog Deer communities she once lived in practiced this, as they performed 'recreational activities' with the local non-sapient wildlife they claimed to support. Seeing nothing wrong with it, she participated as well until she realized just how ''wrong'' it was years later. This became part of her punishments, where those who preached coexistence with nature to fanatical degrees are violated by animals for eternity. Learning of this also disgusted Jade Shell, who interviewed her, so much that the Tortoise [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere left in the middle of her own interview]] and was found [[HeadDesk banging her head against the wall]] by coworkers. |
| 259 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: When not high off her flanks from drugs, she's a compassionate and generous Doe who loves playing music, helps her adoptive father Moon Ray/Canticum in locating/rehabilitating addicts, and offers advice on various topics like enlightenment and love. She also likes cooking and making tea blends with the herbs she grows. However, she's a GodOfEvil who embodies the harmful aspects of religion/spirituality and the Hippie movement, and she is genuinely ''enraged'' by those who selfishly try to gain enlightenment at the expense of others, [[WouldHurtAChild especially when children is involved]]. |
| 260 | * BigCreepyCrawlies: Her OneWingedAngel form is described as a gigantic, [[MothMenace butterfly]]-like creature. |
| 261 | * BreakingTheCycleOfBadParenting: Her birth parents, as Neo-Alvslog Deer, bore the same bigoted, traditional, and reactionary mindsets as the original Alvslog Deer Herds. They were also both religious fanatics and eco-extremists who exploited her precognitive visions by essentially turning her into a drug addict so they could lead Erobreseg Deerkind back to their "birthright" as caretakers of nature. In stark contrast, she herself would become a good mother for her adoptive and biological children, including Shàngtiān Jiùēn/Dìyù Shēnghuó, whom she and Moon Ray saved from himself after her son's repressed traumas and negative emotions finally caught up to him. |
| 262 | * BrokenBird: She was a magical ChildProdigy and an aspiring musician, but unfortunately, she was born among the Neo-Alvslog Deer Herds, former Erobreseg Deer who became increasingly depraved in trying to 'connect' with nature like the original Alvslog Deer. When she unlocked precognitive abilities during a drug-induced meditation, her parents kept her constantly on drugs so they could exploit her visions, brutally killing her friend Tiszta when the latter tried intervening. She was rescued and adopted by Pokhot, but she was so traumatized that she crossed the DespairEventHorizon, willingly becoming an addict so she could keep Tiszta 'alive'. Her behavior alienated her adoptive family/relatives, and she eventually ran away in self-loathing. She was found by Moon Ray Vaughoof, and while he did get to her eventually, it took him a while because of her stubborn refusal to let go of her addictions or her grief over Tiszta's death. |
| 263 | * BrokenPedestal: Subverted. Despite knowing of Moon Ray's flaws, she never loses faith in him because he's honest with her about said flaws. This gave her some angst as she believed having a good relationship with her mentor kept her from sympathizing with Dühroham's deteriorating relationship with his own mentor, Blue Suede Heartstrings, though Moon Ray convinced her otherwise. |
| 264 | * BubbleGun: One of her attacks involves making telekinetic bubbles to trap enemies with. |
| 265 | * CallingTheYoungManOut: 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 a complete accident and there was no way she or anyone else could have foreseen it. |
| 266 | --> '''Sunny Field Vaughoof:''' The hell did ya do ta Moony?!\ |
| 267 | '''Princess Voľná Láska:''' I DON'T KNOW! I think I put too much herbs or maybe mixed in too much magic... Or maybe I boiled it in the pot for too long...!\ |
| 268 | '''Sunny Field Vaughoof:''' Well, whatever ya did, mah brother's now a MONSTER 'cause of you!\ |
| 269 | '''Princess Voľná Láska:''' I'm sorry! I just wanted Father to get better! |
| 270 | * CombatClairvoyance: In her [[OneWingedAngel gigantic butterfly form]], she can dodge attacks with the aid of precognition. |
| 271 | * CombatTentacles: As a goddess of Nature, she can summon vines for attacks. |
| 272 | * CreateYourOwnVillain: She is directly responsible for the 'birth' of Caelum Filum and his month-long rampage across the Glimmering Isles, though he's not really a villain due to being completely stoned at the time. She is also indirectly responsible for the rise of the Cosmic Acolytes, who followed Caelum Filum so they could record/exploit his prophetic visions. |
| 273 | * CynicismCatalyst: While her birth parents' mistreatment of her left her deeply traumatized, it's learning of Tiszta's death that sent her into the DespairEventHorizon, influencing her to become an addict in her attempts to deny her grief. Any attempts by her adoptive family to help her were rebuffed due to her trauma and intolerant views. It's not until she meets [[DontFearTheReaper Moon Ray Vaughoof]] that she recovers from it. |
| 274 | * DarkActionGirl: Averted. While she's a magical prodigy, she's a SquishyWizard whose PowersDoTheFighting in contrast to the male Dark Purveyors, who are skilled in physical combat on top of using magic themselves. |
| 275 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: She had the sheer misfortune of being born in a Neo-Alvslog Deer community that became increasingly fanatical and depraved in trying to reconnect with nature. When she unlocked [[{{Seers}} precognitive abilities]] during a drug-induced meditation, her parents turned her into a JunkieProphet by constantly feeding her drugs to enhance her visions so they can exploit her. Her childhood friend Tiszta was brutally murdered for trying to save her, and she was later found suffering from a drug overdose by a horrified Pokhot. She was rescued and healed in time, but was so traumatized that she became wary of connecting with others and developed a form of denial through addiction, believing she was keeping Tiszta 'alive'. This (among other things) strained her relationship with her adoptive family, spurring her to [[TheRunaway run away]]. Even after meeting Moon Ray Vaughoof and being taken under his wing, she continued her self-destructive behavior until she got in trouble with drug dealers, sparking a heated argument where she [[SayingTooMuch accidentally blurted out her reasons for wanting to stay addicted]]. Once the truth of Tiszta's death sinks in thanks to Moon Ray's gentle prodding, she turns into a sobbing mess, realizing her childhood friend is never coming back no matter what she does. |
| 276 | * DeityOfHumanOrigin: Unlike many of her adoptive siblings and cousins, who were born [[SemiDivine demi-deities]] before Ascending to true godhood, she was a mortal Doe who Ascended to demi-godhood by choosing to become an infernal punisher like Pokhot. She would later Ascend to true godhood under [[Music/StevieRayVaughan Moon Ray Vaughoof]]'s extended tutelage. |
| 277 | * DespairEventHorizon: She fell into this following a combination of the news of Tiszta's death and being hit with the full reality of what her parents and Neo-Alvslog community did to her. Despite being adopted by a sympathetic Pokhot, she willingly became a drug addict out of grief and SurvivorGuilt to the point of falling deep into denial, acting and talking as if Tiszta is still alive and refusing her family's attempts to help her. This, among other things, became a contributing factor into her decision to run away from home. Fortunately, she was found by [[GodOfTheDead Moon Ray Vaughoof]], who managed to snap her out of it despite initial difficulty. |
| 278 | * DidntSeeThatComing: When she made a divine drug with Joyous Freedom, she only wanted to help Moon Ray/Canticum Lunae recover from his [[{{Sleepyhead}} narcolepsy]] (besides [[SecretTestOfCharacter testing him]], which Moon Ray/Canticum Lunae willingly volunteered for). She honestly didn't expect the drug itself being strong enough to transform her adoptive father into a completely stoned EldritchAbomination, and is ''horrified'' when it does. Moon Ray/Canticum Lunae later forgives her for what happened because it was simply an accident that no one could have predicted. |
| 279 | * DreamingOfThingsToCome: Justified, as she's a Seer who later became a goddess of Enlightenment. |
| 280 | ** Her first vision, unlocked via drug-induced meditation, consisted of her as a beautiful and magnificent Nature goddess. Unfortunately, it led to her [[AbusiveParents birth parents]] exploiting her abilities by turning her into a JunkieProphet, whose incomprehensible ramblings were used as excuses to commit acts of [[EcoTerrorist eco-terrorism]] so they can 'guide' their Erobreseg kindred back to Alvslog society. |
| 281 | ** Her second major vision consisted of a Deer settlement being engulfed in fire and destruction, while demonic, Deer-like creatures tormented her family and neighbors forever. The Neo-Alvslog Deer Herds interpreted the vision as the Erobreseg Deer Herds facing certain destruction and traveled to their realms to preach the evils of modernization over being InHarmonyWithNature, even resorting to [[EcoTerrorist eco-terrorism]]. The vision was actually about the [[GodOfEvil Temnobog and the Four Terrors]] coming to punish the Neo-Alvslog Deer communities for their extreme depravity, which also turns out to be a SelfFulfillingProphecy. |
| 282 | * DrugsAreBad: She's a goddess of Addiction who focuses on the sin of drug addiction, especially when drugs are used to [[HigherUnderstandingThroughDrugs gain spiritual enlightenment]], with the purpose of seeing if people can resist her temptations. Her punishment for unrepentant drug dealers/addicts involve being either painfully distilled into drugs and beverages for Voľná’s family and subordinates to get high from, or left in a constant stupor where hallucinations closely intertwine with reality. Following her move to the Corporate Pantheon, she has been tempting various musicians into becoming drug addicts, and is delighted when they resist. She has also tempted Moon Ray/Canticum Lunae, her mentor-turned-ParentalSubstitute, though ironically the only time she managed to get him completely stoned was when she was genuinely trying to heal him from a medical condition, [[GoneHorriblyWrong with disastrous consequences for everyone]]. |
| 283 | * TheEmpath: Her Enlightenment domain gives her the ability to calm chaotic and/or fractured minds by giving them tranquility. Her Addiction and Love domains also give her empathic powers, though the former is applied via sensing and encouraging addiction. |
| 284 | * EnlightenmentSuperpowers: |
| 285 | ** She gained her [[{{Seers}} precognitive powers]] by meditating in a [[HigherUnderstandingThroughDrugs drug-induced trance]], resulting in her receiving a prophetic vision of herself as a beautiful, magnificent Nature goddess. Unfortunately, when she told her birth parents about it, they decided to exploit her foresight by keeping her high on drugs so they can use her visions to guide the 'wayward' Erobreseg Deer Herds back to proper Alvslog society. |
| 286 | ** After Ascending to godhood, she became a goddess of ''Enlightenment'', which essentially gives her powers revolving around the concept. Along with PsychicPowers, she can sense want people need to gain psychic powers, [[RestorationOfSanity heal minds via granting tranquility]], and enhance her psychic abilities further by entering a state of calm. |
| 287 | * EruditeStoner: She's a Hippie stoner who derives pleasure from taking drugs, whether made by herself or others. But she's also very intelligent, is well-versed on various topics like enlightenment and love, and has a few talents like cooking, gardening, and playing music. She's also a charismatic spiritual leader in her religious aspects. |
| 288 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: |
| 289 | ** While she embodies Addiction and tempts people into excessive indulgence, she loathes those who do the same thing [[ForTheEvulz for the hell of it]]. She has developed a deep grudge against her adoptive cousin, Závislost, the Fallen god of Drug Addiction, for this reason. |
| 290 | ** She was also ''horrified'' to discover that Swan Song tricked her and her fellow Dark Purveyors into essentially helping him summon a [[EldritchAbomination Walpurgisnacht]] by using their divine avatars as sacrifices. This influenced their collective decision to personally help defeat said Walpurgisnacht during the climax of the 'Swan Song Crisis', all of them keeping it occupied so [[VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw Sky Star and Blazing Path]] can put it down for good. |
| 291 | * EvilCounterpart: |
| 292 | ** To Satori. Like Satori, Voľná is a spiritual leader who appears as a monk, and is a goddess of Enlightenment who preaches her own take on enlightenment to her followers. Unlike Satori, Voľná embodies the wicked sides of spirituality and religion, such as HigherUnderstandingThroughDrugs, romantic/sexual promiscuity, and pro-nature fanaticism. Because Satori preaches enlightenment through [[ThePowerOfFriendship friendship]], Voľná has been testing Satori's followers by tempting them into pursuing unfettered means to achieve enlightenment, such as strict adherence to Satori's teachings, [[StartMyOwn making their own paths in rebellion]], or binding others to their will. Satori has no hard feelings against her, though, as she accepts that GoodNeedsEvil. |
| 293 | ** To Moon Ray Vaughoof. Both are music-loving [[DeityOfHumanOrigin Ascendant deities]] who grew up with AbusiveParents, and would later go through a period of drug addiction that they would eventually get out of. But unlike Moon Ray, who decided to help rehabilitate addicts and became a god of Temperance post-mortem, Voľná chose to become an infernal punisher and became a goddess of Addiction who tests people by tempting them into addiction. She also represents what happens if Moon Ray chose to stay an addict (albeit for constructive purposes). Ironically, Moon Ray is Voľná's mentor and later her [[ParentalSubstitute adoptive father]], and the only time Voľná managed to get him completely stoned was when she collaborated with Joyous Freedom on making a drug to help him recover from his [[{{Sleepyhead}} chronic tiredness]]. |
| 294 | ** To Muziki, one of Moon Ray's students. Both embody Addiction, except Muziki uses his domain to prevent addiction and punish those who lure people into addiction, whereas Voľná uses her domain to test people by tempting them into addiction. Muziki is a former addict and drug dealer who atoned for his actions, whereas Voľná acts like a EruditeStoner as a living consequence of what happens when people get addicted to something without changing for the better. Predictably, Voľná has been seen tempting Muziki into returning to his old drug-dealing ways, though she's also interested in helping him Ascend to true godhood. |
| 295 | ** Ironically inverted with Závislost, whom she serves as his ''good'' counterpart. Unlike Závislost, a Fallen god of Drug Addiction who lures people into addiction ForTheEvulz, Voľná is a goddess of Addiction who tests people's morals by tempting them into addiction. Since she hates 'Destructive Evil', Voľná has a deep grudge against Závislost because of his actions. |
| 296 | * {{Expy}}: She's based on Mariska from ''VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw''. They're both music-themed HorrorHippies who are constantly stoned, possess control over mystical powers such as [[MasterOfIllusion illusions]], and can play the sitar. They're also [[TheSmurfettePrinciple the only female members of the Dark Purveyors]] and the most laidback of them all. However, unlike Mariska, who helped spread a ZombieApocalypse for no other reason than [[ForTheEvulz she could]], Voľná is essentially a NobleDemon who actively helped stop a similar disaster upon learning what her actions unwittingly led to. |
| 297 | * FantasticRacism: Deconstructed. Due to being raised among the Neo-Alvslog Deer Herds, she was disgusted by her Erobreseg kindred's decision to intermingle with 'impure' non-Deer races. Her prejudice also extended to [[HalfBreedDiscrimination hybrids]], which consisted of the majority of her adoptive family. This became part of the reason why she felt unable to return her mother and siblings' love for her, alienating them in the process and contributing to her decision to run away. She eventually comes to realize the harm she was inflicting with her bigotry thanks to people like Moon Ray Vaughoof and Joyous Freedom, and after returning home, she apologizes to her family and makes huge efforts in being more tolerant. |
| 298 | * FlatWhat: She responds with a stupefied, "...What," to hearing of how some Oriental religious sects performed extremely horrifying ascetic rituals in their quest to transcend all 'worldly desires', such as self-mummification or entombment. |
| 299 | * ForcedTransformation: 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. |
| 300 | * {{Forgiveness}}: |
| 301 | ** Upon reuniting with Pokhot in Neighpon, she discovers her adoptive mother had forgiven her for her bigoted behavior, despite having every right to stay angry. This causes her to break down in tears. Later, her entire adoptive family forgives her as well after she apologizes for her treatment of them and makes efforts in improving herself. |
| 302 | ** Later, Moon Ray/Canticum forgives her and Joyous Freedom for turning him into a completely stoned EldritchAbomination with a powerful divine drug they created, as what happened was an accident that neither of them could've predicted. |
| 303 | * FreudianExcuse: Deconstructed. Many of her behaviors originated from a deeply traumatizing and psychologically abusive fawnhood, yet said behaviors turned out to be self-destructive and harmful, which contributed to the straining of her relationships with both her adoptive family and mentor. |
| 304 | * GodOfEvil: She specifically embodies the harmful aspects of the Hippie movement, such as drug addiction, sexual promiscuity, and unfettered, ill-advised coexistence with the dangerous parts of nature. She also embodies the depraved aspects of religion/spirituality, especially the things religious devotees would do to achieve enlightenment. It's subverted as she follows '[[NecessarilyEvil Constructive Evil]]' and her role is to punish those whose sins fall under her portfolio. |
| 305 | * GoneHorriblyWrong: Her quest to cure Moon Ray/Canticum Lunae of his [[{{Sleepyhead}} narcolepsy]] led to Moon Ray/Canticum Lunae becoming a completely stoned EldritchAbomination since the drug she created together with Joyous Freedom was too strong for him to handle. She tried making up for it by protecting Moon Ray/Canticum Lunae from those who seek to harm/exploit him until he was cured back to normal, though Moon Ray/Canticum forgave her for what happened since it was an unexpected accident. |
| 306 | * GoodPowersBadPeople: She possesses 'good' domains like Enlightenment, Love, and Nature, but she is a (constructive) goddess who embodies the depraved sides of said domains and uses them to tempt mortals into wickedness. Enlightenment is notable because it's usually treated as a goal for the spiritually-minded to achieve, and it gives her the ability to ''restore'' chaotic and/or fractured minds via giving them tranquility. |
| 307 | * GreenThumb: As a goddess of Nature, she specifically embodies her domain's plant aspects, and even as a mortal, she was a prodigy at plant magic. She can accelerate plant growth and summon various plants and [[CombatTentacles vines]] for attacks, and heal/bolster her plants' defenses. She can communicate with plants, [[TheNavigator keep track of her whereabouts through plants so she (and others) will never get lost]], and [[{{Teleportation}} teleport through plants]]. She can telekinetically use storms of [[PetalPower razor-sharp petals]] to shred her enemies alive. She also has psychic knowledge on plants and how to use them, whether for drugs, medicine, or food. More powerful techniques involve creating armies of sapient plants and treas, inhabiting trees and controlling them from inside like a HumongousMecha, and commanding entire forests to attack anything within its borders. When combined with her Enlightenment domain, she can connect with the forests themselves to enhance her extrasensory perception and other psychic abilities, giving her wider psychic vision. |
| 308 | * HalfBreedDiscrimination: Due to being raised among the Neo-Alvslog herds, she felt disgusted towards her infernal adoptive family, many of whom are Deer-Draconequui hybrids. It's deconstructed as it alienates her family and drives a wedge between them, even though they understand she's [[TroubledSympatheticBigot a product of her environment]]. Once she is forced to see the flaws of Alvslog society and learns of High King Irminsul's hypocrisy, she [[JerkassRealization realizes her beliefs were wrong]] and proceeds to apologize to her adoptive family after coming back from an extended period of time away from home. |
| 309 | * HappilyAdopted: |
| 310 | ** In her mortal youth, she would be adopted by 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. |
| 311 | ** Later, she would be adopted by her mentor, Moon Ray Vaughoof, sometime after he moved to Kerajaan Cahaya and adopting [[TheQuincyPunk Prince Dissonant Tune]]. As Moon Ray helped her deal with her grief and break free of her drug addiction, she quickly accepted him as her father and helps him locate/rehabilitate addicts even while she tests him. Even Emperor Golden Scepter, who took in the entire Bogolenya Deer Pantheon through his adoption of Belyolen and Temnobog, gave Moon Ray his full blessings to be her father once he heard of it. |
| 312 | * HigherUnderstandingThroughDrugs: Her community did drugs in order to connect with nature, and this is what led to her unlocking her foresight, with tragic consequences. After Ascending to godhood, she can invoke this by creating various drugs in her personal laboratory. She encourages family memebrs to partake in 'bonding' acitivites like group meditation, though she admits they mostly just sit and smoke weed, or have orgies while in their highs. She would later do this by accident to her mentor-turned-adoptive father, Moon Ray/Canticum Lunae, by turning him into [[MadGod Caelum Filum]] with a very powerful drug. This eventually led to Moon Ray/Canticum Lunae's re-Ascension as a benevolent eldritch god. |
| 313 | * HighPriest: {{Pun}} aside, she was given the role of High Priestess by her birth parents after she manifested precognitive abilities during a drug-induced meditation. While she theoretically has great political authority after her parents due to Alvslog society prizing {{Seers}} like her, she was actually a glorified, abused figurehead who gave her birth parents an excuse to exploit her power and promote their pro-Alvslog bigotry. Her time as High Priestess gave her ''a lot'' of psychological issues that took her a long time to overcome, and after becoming an infernal punisher, she took a while to get used to playing the priestess again due to lingering trauma associated with it. |
| 314 | * HolierThanThou: Invoked. As an evil goddess who embodies the worst aspects of spiritual/religious enlightenment, she acts haughty and self-righteous on purposes. To punish damned shades for similar acts in life, she willingly sabotages or outright fights 'rival sects' to validate her own beliefs that her way is the 'right way'. |
| 315 | * HorrorHippies: She's a Deer goddess who embodies the negative aspects of the Second Age Hippie movement, which rose in response to the various wars that plagued Ponyland. She dresses like a hippie and is high all the time, but is also a depraved hedonist who gets pleasure from doing drugs, and believes there's no wrong time to get stoned. However, she's a NobleDemon who directs her evil towards constructive purposes like testing mortals with temptations of what they desired most to the point of addiction, and punishing those who died unrepentant for crimes relating to her portfolios. Ironically, her genuine attempt to cure her [[{{Sleepyhead}} chronically-tired]] adoptive father using drugs led to him transforming into an EldritchAbomination and other disastrous consequences because the drug itself was too powerful. |
| 316 | * ImmuneToMindControl: As a goddess of Enlightenment, she has a supernaturally indomitable will that protects her against brainwashing spells. |
| 317 | * InstrumentOfMurder: Her primary weapon is ''Woodstock'', a magical sitar that enhances her abilities tenfold and channel them through Magic Music, allowing her to do things like creating more elaborate illusions and summoning more plants. |
| 318 | * IronicHell: She rules over a hell-fief where damned shades are punished according to the crimes they committed in relation to her domains of Addiction, Enlightenment, Love, and Nature. Fittingly, her hell-fief resembles a seemingly {{Arcadia}}n-style utopia that's actually an incredibly horrific DeathWorld. |
| 319 | ** Those who became addicts without repenting will suffer depending on what they got addicted to. [[ExtremeLibido Sex addicts]] are [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil exploited and raped]], turned into inanimate toys to satisfy carnal amusements, or forced to suffer [[SenseLossSadness extreme sense deprivation]]. Drug addicts are either painfully distilled into drugs and beverages for Voľná’s family and subordinates to get high from, or left in a constant stupor where hallucinations closely intertwine with reality. Travel addicts are constantly on the move, never allowed rest or enjoyment that normally comes with discovering new places. |
| 320 | ** Those who misled and/or hurt others (or themselves) for the sake of enlightenment are left perpetually ignorant and desperate for spiritual/religious sustenance. Damned shades go through torturous ascetic rituals, such as self-mummification, entombment, and/or starvation. Others are deprived of all senses in a perversion of spiritual transcendence, or exploited/violented by depraved religious hedonists. Others are given too much enlightenment to where they are literally blinded and/or made aware of things people aren't, [[GoMadFromTheRevelation leaving them insane, gibbering messes who are unable to share their revelations with others]]. Those who abused their positions of religious spiritual authority are subjected to the same abuses they committed in life, being violated, persecuted, and/or branded as heretics. |
| 321 | ** Those who demeaned, exploited, and/or outright destroyed love are either put in abusive relationships and marriages, or made 'love-hungry' so they could never feel satisfied no matter how much love they desire or how much love they have. Some damned shades are cursed so people are automatically repulsed by their presence. Those who abandoned their lovers are punished via finding themselves being utterly helpless as they're magically forced to leave their loved ones behind. Alternatively, they're made unable to feel true love for their partners, leaving them feeling empty despite still feeling sexual pleasure. Those who conditioned others to be slavishly devoted to them are in turn enslaved by the person(s) of their adoration, with attempts to break free being met with punishment. |
| 322 | ** 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 [[ForcedTransformation 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. |
| 323 | * JerkassRealization: Her [[WalkingTheEarth globe-trotting trips]] with Moon Ray and Joyous Freedom eventually make her realize that her biological family's intolerant beliefs were wrong, and that she was wrong to treat her adoptive family like shit just because they're 'evil' as well as [[HalfBreedDiscrimination Deer hybirds]]. Once she is found by Pokhot and taken home, she proceeds to apologize to her adoptive family for her behavior and make amends for it. To their credit, her adoptive family did understand her behavior was the result of intense grief and [[TroubledSympatheticBigot growing up among former Erobreseg Deer who emulated their Alvslog kin]], though they were nonetheless hurt by her bigotry. |
| 324 | * 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 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. |
| 325 | * LotusEaterMachine: Like her younger adoptive brother, Prince Touha, she can create illusionary worlds, except as a goddess of Addiction, her worlds stimulate the senses and allow people to indulge in their addictions for as long as they wish. She can make these worlds nightmarishly surreal of she chooses to. |
| 326 | * LoveGoddess: As a goddess of Love, she specifically embodies [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eros_(concept) Eros love]] (sensual and/or passionate love), which is thematically connected to the Hippies' sexual promiscuity. She has enhanced [[TheEmpath empathy]], and she can inflame feelings in others, sense/encourage passionate desire, and [[AppearanceIsInTheEyeOfTheBeholder shapeshift according to her target(s)' desires]]. As an infernal punisher, though, she uses her abilities to tempt people into committing adultery and going on wild sexual escapades. When combined with her Addiction domain, she can bind others to her will and make her own presence irresistible, making her victims slavishly devoted to her. She can also cast various curses to punish Love-related crimes, some of them taught by Joyous Freedom. |
| 327 | * MagicHair: She has long, rippling black hair made of Nature energy, with flowers blooming from it before fading away, representing how things can be affected by corrupt teachings. It's noted that hair is something all Deer deities can manifest, but many of them choose not to either out of preference or gender-based tradition. |
| 328 | * TheMagnificent: Known as "the Enlightened Sage", due to being a goddess of Enlightenment who also represents the worst sides of religion/spirituality. |
| 329 | * MamaBear: While she hates religious/spiritual exploitation in general, she is ''enraged'' whenever she sees religious/spiritual leaders either prostituting young children or turning them into blindly obedient messiah-like figures they can use as pawns. Many of the legends surrounding her spoke of how she went after corrupt sects that did such things with a fury that could rival Dühroham's on a bad day. |
| 330 | ** She once went after a Fourth Age Bodhisattvist sect who, inspired by apocryphal records of [[VideoGame/SekiroShadowsDieTwice Ashineigha]], performed extremely horrific experiments on children by forcing them to eat [[CreepyCentipedes centipedes]] that granted pseudo-immortality to their hosts. Enraged by the Bodhisattvist sect's atrocities, she marked the corrupt devotees for eternal damnation and alerted the local pantheon, leading to the devotes and their associates being DraggedOffToHell. The surviving children, meanwhile, were rescued from their abusers and healed. |
| 331 | ---> '''Princess Voľná Láska:''' ''(roaring)'' '''YOU COULD HAVE CHOSEN TO ENLIGHTEN YOUR PEOPLE! TO BRING EVERY-CREATURE THE JOYS OF LOVE AND PEACE! BUT INSTEAD, YOU CHOSE IMMORTALITY THROUGH THE BODIES OF''' '''''CHILDREN!''''' |
| 332 | * TheMarvelousDeer: Played with. She originally started out as an innocent Doe who was corrupted by the depraved, intolerant environment she grew up in, and her resulting trauma turned her into a TroubledSympatheticBigot who stubbornly refused to let go of self-destructive behaviors out of grief. After meeting Moon Ray and, later, Joyous Freedom, she overcame her bigotry and chose to become a divine punisher so no one would suffer like she did. While she is a depraved goddess who lures mortals into addiction and spiritual/religious corruption, she directs her behavior towards constructive purposes and tests mortals to see if they'll resist her. |
| 333 | * MasterOfIllusion: As a goddess of Addiction, she can create incredibly powerful illusions, including a giant hoof that stomps on enemies and hordes of zombified farm animals. She also, like Prince Touha, can create [[LotusEaterMachine illusionary worlds that stimulate the senses and where people can indulge in their addictions for as long as they wish]]. Ironically, she can [[TrueSight see through illusions]] thanks to her domain of Enlightenment. |
| 334 | * MeaningfulName: |
| 335 | ** Her name translates to "free love" in Czech. It largely refers to the FreeLoveFuture preached by the Hippie movement and the resulting [[ReallyGetsAround sexual promiscuity]] in real life. |
| 336 | ** Her [[InstrumentOfMurder sitar]] is named ''Woodstock'', referring to the [[UsefulNotes/{{Woodstock}} titular three-day music festival]] that served as the defining event of the 1960s' counterculture. |
| 337 | * MindOverMatter: Her Enlightenment domain gives her psychic telekinesis. She can use it to make [[BubbleGun bubbles]] that trap her enemies, or butterflies made of psychic energy that sap her enemies' health on contact. |
| 338 | * TheMinionMaster: In her OneWingedAngel form, she can create [[WhenTreesAttack tree minions]] by 'pooping' out rapidly-growing seeds. |
| 339 | * MiseryBuildsCharacter: She admits she felt bad for having a good relationship with her mentor, Moon Ray Vaughoof, because she believed it prevented her from fully sympathizing with Dühroham's deteriorating relationship with his own mentor, Blue Suede Heartstrings. Moon Ray convinced her that simply listening and being supportive would help more than torturing themselves to gain better understanding of others. She took his advice to heart and tried supporting Dühroham as best as she could, which he greatly appreciated. |
| 340 | * MothMenace: Her OneWingedAngel form is a [[BigCreepyCrawlies gigantic]], butterfly-like creature that is a twisted parody of Mothryu, a [[{{Planimal}} mixture of flesh and plant]], and has huge, leaf-like wings with disturbingly realistic eye markings (which she uses to stun her enemies). She's also a highly charismatic and insidious GodOfEvil who lures mortals into addiction and spiritual/religious corruption, but devotes her nature to constructive purpose like testing people's morality. |
| 341 | * NatureLover: Despite her horrific experiences as a former Neo-Alvslog Deer, she nonetheless loves and appreciates nature, and chose to study it in order to understand why people want to destroy or obsessively protect it. During her free time, she would go on nature walks and study plants, or tend to her garden where she grows fresh herbs and other useful plants. Unlike many nature lovers, she is willing to have her palace home installed with modern technology like bathrooms and lights. And thanks to learning under Moon Ray/Canticum, a Death god she believes that all things must die to make room for new life in an endless cycle, or there will be bad consequences for everyone. |
| 342 | * NatureSpirit: She's a Nature goddess who specifically embodies the plant aspects of nature, giving her [[GreenThumb power over them]]. However, as an infernal punisher, she goes after people who pursue the unfettered sides of nature like [[EcoTerrorist eco-terrorism]] and ill-advised [[InHarmonyWithNature natural co-existence]]. As a mortal fawn, she foresaw herself as a magnificent Nature goddess after her precognition manifested, but this got her exploited by her parents, who [[JunkieProphet kept her drugged]] so they can use her visions for their own ends. It's after breaking free from her parents' toxic beliefs and acknowledging the good and bad sides of nature that she chooses to become an infernal punisher like Joyous Freedom, allowing her to Ascend and fulfill her first vision. |
| 343 | * NeverBeHurtAgain: Part of the reason why she had a hard time returning her adoptive family's love is because she believed they only loved her for her [[{{Seers}} clairvoyant powers]], as her birth parents exploited her once she manifested them. It took her a long time to accept that her adoptive family loves her unconditionally, regardless of her powers. |
| 344 | * NoSympathy: She was completely unsympathetic to Swan Song's motives for starting the ZombieApocalypse. Considering that Swan Song did it simply because he was picked on in school and [[NotGoodWithRejection was rejected by a Doe he crushed on]], it's understandable. |
| 345 | * OhCrap: Both she and Joyous Freedom were horrified when their attempt to heal/test a narcoleptic Moon Ray/Canticum with a divine drug they made went horribly wrong, and were forced to watch as said drug transformed Moon Ray/Canticum into a completely stoned EldritchAbomination. |
| 346 | * OneWingedAngel: Like Pokhot and her oldest adoptive siblings, she has the ability to turn into a more powerful form. In her case, she transforms into a gigantic, enthrallingly beautiful butterfly-like creature described by others as a twisted parody of Mothryu, one of Neighpon's guardian Kaiju. In this form, her body is [[{{Planimal}} a mixture of flesh and plant]] with tree bark grafted onto her like armor, and she has huge, leaf-like butterfly wings with colorful patterns and disturbingly realistic eye markings. She's an incredibly fast flyer with the ability to [[CombatClairvoyance dodge attacks with the aid of precognition]], and she can use her wings to [[WindFromBeneathMyWings kick up powerful winds]] and dispense hallucinogenic spores that inflict terrifyingly surreal hallucinations upon contact. She can also [[TheMinionMaster create tree minions]] to command and bolster magically by pooping out seeds that quickly grow. |
| 347 | * OpposeWhatYouSuffered: |
| 348 | ** 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. |
| 349 | ** 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. |
| 350 | * 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 Pokhot for it and doesn't really care that her birth parents died, since they were [[AbusiveParents abusive and exploitative]] to her in life. |
| 351 | * PetalPower: She can telekinetically manipulate storms of razor-sharp petals to shred her enemies alive. |
| 352 | * {{Planimal}}: Her OneWingedAngel form is a gigantic butterfly-like creature whose body is a mixture of flesh and plant, with tree bark grafted onto her like armor. Her wings are also huge and leaf-like. |
| 353 | * PointOfDivergence: 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. |
| 354 | * PowersDoTheFighting: Deconstructed. Her extremely conservative and traditional upbringing left her a SquishyWizard, so she fights with her powers to compensate. If her powers fail, however, she is left completely defenseless. This is how Sky Star managed to defeat her avatar during their fight. |
| 355 | * PsychicPowers: She first manifested her psychic powers in the form of [[{{Seers}} prophetic visions]], after which things went to absolute hell for her. After becoming a goddess of Enlightenment years later, she gained more psychic powers like telepathy, astral projection, extrasensory perception (in which she can psychically view the world around her), and precognition. She also has psychic telekinesis, which she can use to make [[BubbleGun bubbles]] that trap her enemies, or psychic butterflies that latch onto her enemies to sap their health. She can also enhance her abilities further by entering a state of calm. Most of her abilities have been nurtured under Moon Ray/Canticum's tutelage. |
| 356 | * RestorationOfSanity: As a goddess of Enlightenment, she can heal chaotic and/or fractured minds by giving them tranquility. |
| 357 | * RottenRockAndRoll: Her music genre of choice is [[PsychedelicRock psychedelic/acid rock]], which she switched to after learning how to play BluesRock under [[Music/StevieRayVaughan Moon Ray Vaughoof]]'s tutelage. While she's the most mellow and laidback of the Dark Purveyors, she's also an [[GodOfEvil infernal goddess]] who lures people into spiritual and religious corruption, though a constructive one who punishes mortals for committing crimes related to her domains of Addiction, Enlightenment, Love, and Nature. |
| 358 | * {{Seers}}: Her Enlightenment domain gives her precognition. Even before becoming a goddess, she had prophetic visions that were activated by drugs, the first being of herself as a magnificent Nature goddess. The fact that her birth parents and Neo-Alvslog community exploited her power by turning her into a JunkieProphet messed her up deeply, to the point where she became wary of connecting with people out of fear of being exploited again. |
| 359 | * SemiDivine: She became a demigod after choosing to become a divine punisher of the wicked like Joyous Freedom. Later, she would Ascend to true godhood under Moon Ray Vaughoof's tutelage. |
| 360 | * SinisterMinister: While she's more of a monk thanks to strong Oriental influence from Joyous Freedom |
| 361 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: Much like [[VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw Mariska]], she's the only female member of the Dark Purveyors. |
| 362 | * SquishyWizard: One of her biggest weaknesses is that she's not very good at physical combat, so she [[PowersDoTheFighting fights with her powers]] to make up for it. This proved to be her avatar's undoing, as once Sky Star figured out how to bypass the illusions and other powers, she [[CurbStompBattle tore into her with relative ease]]. It's justified due to her upbringing, with her fawnhood Neo-Alvslog Deer community holding extremely conservative views on gender roles. |
| 363 | * SupremeChef: She makes her own tea blends, cakes, and pastries by using herbs from both her garden and antlers. She can also make sandwiches. Satori absolutely loves her teas and cakes, and enjoys them when not clashing with her. |
| 364 | * SympathyForTheDevil: Subverted. She does understand why her birth parents and neighbors broke away from the Erobreseg Deer Herds, but because they became corrupt and exploited her precognitive powers by [[JunkieProphet getting her addicted to drugs]], she believes they deserved to be damned for the horrible things they did. She also feels ashamed for her role in her Neo-Alvslog community's corruption. |
| 365 | * 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. She's later able to talk to Tistza for real, after Belyolen gives her permission to visit Tistza in the Heaven-Realms. |
| 366 | * {{Telepathy}}: Her Enlightenment domain gives her telepathic powers. Her Addiction domain also has telepathy which she can use to sense and encourage addictions. |
| 367 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: She loves eating meat dishes, which she discovered during her trips in the Oriental lands with Joyous Freedom. She has stated her preference for meat is a 'middle claw' towards both the Neo-Alvslog herds' fanatical pro-nature traditions, and the stereotype that Deer are tree-hugging vegetarians. |
| 368 | * TragicVillain: She's presently a GodOfEvil who embodies the wicked aspects of Addiction, Enlightenment, Love, and Nature, but in her mortal youth, she was essentially turned into a drug addict by her parents so they could exploit her precognitive visions. Her fawnhood friend was brutally murdered as punishment for trying to save her, and by the time she was found by Pokhot, she was experiencing a potentially fatal overdose. Learning of her fawnhood friend's fate and realizing what her parents did to both of them [[DespairEventHorizon broke her so much]] that this time, she willingly went back into addiction to cope with her guilt and trauma. All attempts made by her adoptive family to help her failed because of her stubborn refusal to let it go. Things finally turned up for her when she ran away and met [[DontFearTheReaper Moon Ray Vaughoof]], and even then it wasn't an easy ride. |
| 369 | * {{Transflormation}}: Invoked. To punish damned shades for becoming pro-nature fanatics, she has them transformed into trees that are eternally cut down for building material. |
| 370 | * TroubledSympatheticBigot: Much like her younger sister, Queen Krásná Tradice, she became this due to her upbringing as a Neo-Alvslog Deer. Despite the sheer trauma she suffered at the hooves of both her [[AbusiveParents birth parents]] and corrupt community, she continued clinging to the bigoted lessons they taught her, and she resorted to using drugs to cope with her grief over losing her fawnhood friend, Tiszta. Her bigotry in part alienated her adoptive family and relatives because she refused to accept the existence of evil and interracial relationships, culminating in her running away from her new home out of self-loathing. Fortunately, becoming a [[WalkingTheEarth globe-trotter]] and meeting non-Deer like [[DontFearTheReaper Moon Ray Vaughoof]] and Joyous Freedom allowed her to overcome most of her issues, and forced her to see that her beliefs were wrong. Upon returning home, she would apologize to her adoptive family for mistreating them and work on being more tolerant, which her adoptive family appreciated even though they understood she was ultimately a product of her environment. |
| 371 | * TrueSight: As a goddess of Enlightenment, she can see through illusions and falsehoods. Which is pretty ironic since her Addiction domain gives her [[MasterOfIllusion power over illusions]]. |
| 372 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: She collaborated with Joyous Freedom on creating a drug to test Moon Ray Vaughoof in both morals and powers. She ends up kickstarting the 'Cosmic Prophet Debacle' when Moon Ray turned into a completely-stoned EldritchAbomination upon consuming the drug because it was ''too'' powerful. |
| 373 | * UnwittingPawn: She was ''horrified'' to learn that she and her fellow Purveyors were tricked by Swan Song into lending their avatars as part of his plan to summon a [[EldritchAbomination Walpurgisnacht]] to kill everyone who 'wronged' him. This influenced her and the other Purveyors to personally help stop the Walpurgisnacht and kill it. |
| 374 | * WhenTreesAttack: Invoked. As a goddess of Nature, she can create armies of sapient trees, possess them to attack through them like a HumongousMecha, and command entire forests to attack everything within their borders. In her OneWingedAngel form, she can [[TheMinionMaster create tree minions]] by 'pooping' out rapidly-growing seeds. |
| 375 | * WindFromBeneathMyWings: In her [[OneWingedAngel infernal butterfly form]], she can use her huge wings to kick up powerful winds. |
| 376 | * YouCouldHaveUsedYourPowersForGood: In one Fourth Age incident, she furiously lambasted an [[VideoGame/SekiroShadowsDieTwice extremely corrupt Bodhisattvist sect]] for choosing to pursue immortality by [[WouldHurtAChild experimenting on young children]], instead of doing their jobs as religious authorities/devotees to bring enlightenment to their people. |

| 393 | Prince Lázadó (first introduced [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/887703883/4940319459 here]]) is the Celestial Griffon god of Anarchy, Disorder, and Rebels, and is a member of the Dark Purveyors. |
| 394 | ---- |
| 395 | * AdaptationalBadass: In ''VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw'', he's a sentient, superpowered elite zombie with the power to [[WordsCanBreakMyBones literally hurt people with his words]]. Here, he's a bonafide god who embodies the harmful aspects of anarchy, social disorder, and revolutions. |
| 396 | * AdaptationalHeroism: In ''VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw'', he and the Dark Purveyors helped [[BigBad Swan]] create a ZombieApocalypse for no reason other than [[ForTheEvulz for the hell of it]]. Here, he follows '[[NecessarilyEvil constructive Evil]]', and goes after those who [[TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized resort to extremely reprehensible methods]] to topple authoritarian regimes/governments/factions. |
| 397 | * AdaptationSpeciesChange: Zed of ''VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw'' is a RevenantZombie. Here, he's a mortal Griffon who later Ascended and became a Celestial Griffon. |
| 398 | * AnthropomorphicPersonification: He's a Celestial Griffon god who embodies Anarchy, Disorder, and Rebels. |
| 399 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Lázadó was born a mortal wingless Griffon in one of the Cardinal Griffon Realms (he refuses to say which, but has stated he's not a Northern Griffon), his parent a revolutionary who rose up to overthrow the tyrannical Autorist order that reigned over their kingdom... but ended up becoming as unfettered, fanatical, and abusive as the Autorists he opposed. After his parent went too far, Lázadó kiled them to end their threat, but was deeply traumatized by it for years. Even after being found and adopted by Yarost and Phykti, he couldn't accept the idea of punishing or killing someone close to him even for good reasons, and ran away from home because of it. Fortunately, Lázadó was found by Prince Dissonant Tune, who became his mentor. Learning why Dissonant Tune chose the path of '[[NecessarilyEvil Constructive Evil]]' helped Lázadó come to terms with what he had done to his parent, triggering his Ascension. |
| 400 | * DeityOfHumanOrigin: He was a mortal wingless Griffon who Ascended to godhood after understanding the purpose of '[[NecessarilyEvil Constructive Evil]]', and accepting his act of killing his revolutionary parent before they became a threat themselves. |
| 401 | * {{Expy}}: He's based on Zed from ''VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw''. |
| 402 | * GodOfEvil: He specifically embodies the toxic, destructive, and harmful aspects of anarchy, disorder, and rebellion, and how people are willing to conquer and/or kill each other under the belief that their ideologies are right. However, it's subverted as he follows [[NecessarilyEvil constructive evil]] and his role is to punish revolutionaries, anarchists, and individuals/factions of similar mindsets who went too far in bringing down authoritarian regimes. |
| 403 | * TheMagnificent: Known as "the Prince of Anarchy". |
| 404 | * MeaningfulName: His name translates to "rebel" in Hungarian. He is a god of Rebels, as well as the harmful aspects of Anarchy and Disorder. |
| 405 | * TheQuincyPunk: Following his Ascension, he became like his mentor Dissonant Tune, dressing up as a Punk and acting extremely abrasive, violent, and foul-mouthed. He also instigates violent rebellions and coups in order to test anarchists, revolutionaries, and other anti-authority individuals/factions, owing to his nature as an infernal god of Anarchy, Disorder, and Rebels. |
| 406 | * RelatedInTheAdaptation: Zed and Lewis are completely unrelated in ''VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw'', but here, they're brothers. |
| 407 | * 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, several of his siblings, like Knechten, find him extremely annoying. |
| 408 | --> '''Lord Knechten:''' You've become a real pain in the flank, you know that?\ |
| 409 | '''Prince Lázadó:''' Hey, I'm just doing my bucking job here. |
| 410 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Deconstructed. His role is to punish anarchists, revolutionaries, and other anti-authority individuals/factions for going too far in their attempts to bring down authoritarian regimes by any means possible. |

| 423 | \ |
| 424 | Tabboush (first introduced [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/836116391/4987306400 here]]) is the divine pet cat of Prince Dühroham Erobreseg and a terrifying creature of ill-repute in the Erobreseg Deer Realms. |
| 425 | ---- |
| 426 | * 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 house cat who loves relaxing and eating wet beef, and helps the Dark Purveyors by babysitting their adoptive/biological children. |
| 427 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: He was an orphaned kitten whose mother and siblings were wiped out by a brutal CivilWar that was gripping the kingdom they lived in. He would have been obliterated in the following 'Calling the Terrors' event if Prince Dühroham Erobreseg of the Dark Purveyors had not rescued him in time. |
| 428 | * DarkIsEvil: Played with. He's a black-furred, divinely-empowered cat who is infamously known as the "Black Beast" in the Erobreseg Deer Realms, and he helps his master, Prince Dühroham Erobreseg, torment the damned imprisoned in his hell-fief. However, he does have a softer side, as he frequently rescues people from dire situations, babysits the Dark Purveyors' youngest children, and acts like a normal house cat. |
| 429 | * DarkIsNotEvil: Played with. He's a black-furred, divinely-empowered cat who is infamously known as the "Black Beast" in the Erobreseg Deer Realms, but he frequently rescues people from dire situations, babysits the Dark Purveyors' youngest children, and acts like a normal house cat when not tormenting the damned or heralding the arrival of Temnobog's infernal armies. However, the fact remains that he is still feared among the Erobreseg Deer Herds for his association with Temnobog's family, especially Prince Dühroham Erobreseg, and his presence and roars have always led to doom and destruction (for wicked kingdoms and individuals, that is). |
| 430 | * TheDreaded: After turning into a Divine Creature, he became feared throughout the Erobreseg Deer Realms for his demonic appearance, black fur, and the fact that he serves as the herald of Temnobog's infernal armies. To the Erobreseg Deer Herds, seeing him approach a kingdom is a sign that the kingdom was slated for divine punishment by the Bogolenya Deer Pantheon; two Deer from one such kingdom ''begged for mercy'' upon seeing him. |
| 431 | --> '''Deer 1:''' It's him! It's the Black Beast! He's coming for us all!\ |
| 432 | '''Deer 2:''' Please, have mercy on us! AAAAAAAAAH-!!! |
| 433 | * 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 serves as a baby sitter for the Dark Purveyors' youngest adoptive/biological children. |
| 434 | * 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, putting him on the path to becoming a feared creature who heralded Temnobog's infernal forces and tormented the wicked dead. |
| 435 | * GentleGiant: Played with. He's the feared "Black Beast" who heralds Temnobog's infernal forces with a terrifying roar, and helps Dühroham torment the wicked souls imprisoned in the latter's hell-fief... but he's also a very affectionate cat who loves and is loyal to his master. He even babysits the Dark Purveyors' youngest children and gives them rides on his back. |
| 436 | * 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 Temnobog's forces are coming to [[SoiledCityOnAHill deliver divine punishment]]. |
| 437 | * MeaningfulName: His name translates to "chubby" in Arabic. |
| 438 | * MoralityPet: He ended up helping Prince Dühroham Erobreseg overcome his [[ShellShockedVeteran extreme PTSD]], as looking after his own pet brought out the inner kindness and compassion that Dühroham's [[AbusiveParents birth parents]] tried to suppress in him. |
| 439 | * OpposeWhatYouSuffered: He torments damned souls who [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals abused animals]] and waged wars in life for petty reasons, while frequently rescuing war refugees and victims of abuse and racial persecution, because he was once an orphaned kitten who lost his mother and litter mates to a brutal CivilWar in his native kingdom. |
| 440 | * ParentalAbandonment: His mother (as well as his litter mates) became collateral damage in the brutal CivilWar that affected the kingdom he was born in. |
| 441 | * PetTheDog: Despite being an (constructive) evil feline, he frequently rescues war refugees and victims of abuse and racial persecution when not heralding the damnation of wicked kingdoms or tormenting the damned. He also babysits the Dark Purveyors' youngest children and gives them rides on his back. |
| 442 | * SoleSurvivor: He's the only surviving kitten of his litter; his mother and sibilings were all wiped out by the brutal CivilWar that gripped the kingdom they lived in. He would have joined them in the following 'Calling the Terrors' sanction had Prince Dühroham Erobreseg not rescued him in time. |
| 443 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Being a cat, he loves eating wet beef. |
