Dr. Victor Zolostene

“I don’t want to rule the world, but I do want to change it. All I want to do is to kill off the weak, the idiotic, & all who stand in my way! I want to see only the best in humanity. I want to see real change happen, a change that could bring us to a simpler time, a time not ruled by paranoia & ignorance.”~ Dr. Zolostene explaining his ideals in Dr. Zolostene's Plan for the Coronavirus.
Victor Zolostene was a Plague Doctor of British descent & the creator of a crime syndicate called the Deep Creeps. He was an overarching villain in Terrachaoverse series, & his continuous schemes were driven by his hatred for humanity. He has lived for centuries thanks to him & his former friend Dr. Zackary Vore discovering the secrets to immortality, & their differing views on mankind are what separated them.
Tier: Unknown, higher with Overhaul; at least 1-C with the Scepter of Pestilence; Unknown as a Spirit
== Appearance ==
Zolostene is a man who has succumbed to his age, hunched over & requiring a cane to keep himself steady. He wears black robes, black gloves, & a plague doctor mask. Part of the mask is broken, & you can see that his skin is gray & bumpy as a result of him being mutated. His left eye sometimes glows green.
== History ==
=== Early Life & Quest for Immortality ===
Victor Zolostene was born somewhere in England on November 1st, 1316. He lived next door to the Vore family, & he became a good friend with their son Zackary. Both of them shared an innate pursuit of knowledge & curiosity about the world. Victor saw Zack as someone who was very intelligent like himself, so they bonded quite naturally, which was rare considering how sheltered Victor was, evidently surprising his parents. During their young adulthood, they would excel in different fields of science, & feeling afraid of getting older & losing the wonders of youth, they sought to discover the secrets to immortality. While Zack would bring about a more scientific means to creating an age-defying serum, Victor believed that mysticism would be the deciding factor, & the two would embark on a quest to find the legendary Fountain of Youth.
Decades would pass & by 1346, Europe & even some of Africa & Asia were engulfed by the Bubonic Plague. Hundreds of millions of people had met their end to this pestilence, but Victor & Zack found themselves rather lucky during this pandemic. They had caught wind of the Black Death while they were in northern Africa, where they actually managed to find the mythical Fountain of Youth somewhere in what used to be Mesopotamia. Victor had no intention on sharing the elixir of life with anyone other than those he deemed "deserving" of it, while Zackary would have more generous intentions. Regardless of their differing views, the two returned to England with some of the water they collected, covering their tracks along the way. Understanding that prolonging life to the extent of the water's properties would cause Humans to proliferate out of control, they would only share minuscule amounts of the water with whom they would share it with. Victor only gave it to those he deemed the smartest & the strongest, while Zack simply wanted to help anyone he could. The Black Death would end in 1353, but the Bubonic Plague would still return at later dates in history.
Decades & even centuries would pass by, with Victor & Zack's drinking of the fountain's water proving to be successful as neither of them had hardly aged past their thirties. During this time, they had still kept in touch every now & then, exchanging scientific & magical information with each other to even further their evolution. In the 1600's, the two went their separate ways as Zackary moved overseas to what would eventually become the United States. Victor remained in his homeland where he would continue to study the arcane & unknown. 
=== Founding the Deep Creeps ===
Over the many years, Victor had developed a hatred for humanity over time, seeing the technology advance but the minds using it to be devolving conversely. As he saw how society had changed, it sickened him to his core until hatred had consumed him. While the positives of mankind's progression were noteworthy, many of their ways had not changed, & it angered Victor that the human race was still being held back from its true potential, & they were the only ones to blame for their inevitable destruction. Victor then got an idea: to surpass man entirely & become the new dominant lifeform on the planet.
MORE TO BE ADDED SOON(ISH)
== Personality ==
Zolostene is extremely misanthropic, shown by his hatred for all mankind & what it has become. He believes that Humans as a species are doomed, & only he can make it right through means of natural selection, an idea he highly believes in. He enjoys his work, operating on the Deep Web & the Dark Web whenever he can execute whatever messed up task he has for the day. He conducts experiments on pretty much whatever organism he can find, dead or alive.
== Powers & Abilities ==
=== Physical Abilities ===
Limited Superhuman Strength & Durability: Zolostene may be old, but he does have some degree of physical strength. Although, he rarely ever enters the battlefield, & even when he does, he amplifies his physical abilities with his magic. One time when he argued with MORTIS, he was struck by his sword, but the slash didn't even hit him, it was merely the wind from the strike that knocked him down. His normal levels of strength & durability are unknown, but with his scepter his stats can scale up to Kaisers & even Gods.
Immortality: Zolostene has lived for many centuries. Long ago, he used a combination of magic & science to make himself immune to dying by old age or diseases. However, he is not unkillable.
Bioluminescence: A result of a mutation, Zolostene's left eye can glow a bright green. This can help him see in the dark, as well as making himself look more intimidating.
Ectoplasmic Physiology: As a Ghost, Zolostene is comprised of ectoplasm, a state of matter exclusively found in the spiritual planes. After Purgatoth cursed him to roam the earthly plane as a Spirit, Zolostene obtained some new abilities. Unfortunately, none of them are really combat applicable, as this was meant to be an exile, a punishment for his sins. As such, all of his previous abilities have been taken away, save for his eternal life, intellect, & bioluminescence.
* Immortality: Adding to his eternal life, Zolostene is also immortal in the sense that he is already dead.
* Self-Sustenance: Zolostene does not need to eat, sleep, or breathe anymore. Even the concept of fatigue is unknown to Zolostene, as he claims he can traverse the entire planet without tiring out.
* Incorporeality: Zolostene is intangible, able to phase through solid matter & unable to be touched unless someone has a special tool or power that allows them to do so.
* Selective Visibility: He can make himself visible or invisible to whoever he chooses, optimal for stealth.
=== Special Powers ===
Superior Intellect: Zolostene is one of the most intelligent villains on the show, always conjuring elaborate schemes & even succeeding in some of them. As someone who has witnessed hundreds of years of Earth's history, he has a very fundamental understanding of how everything in the world works, even if he doesn't like it. He is also an educated scientist, specializing in diseases & dissections.
* A.I. Creation: Zolostene was somehow able to program & create the artificial intelligence known as Bionic Hazard, who is directly connected to the Dark Web & is also a living 3D printer.
Dark Magic: Zolostene has mastered the dark arts, & has strengthened his powers thanks to the Scepter of Pestilence, which acts as a massive amplifier. Because he is old & frail, yet his knowledge of dark magic is so vast, most of his spells can only be channeled through conduits.
* Genetic Mutation Spell: One of the few magical powers that Zolostene can use fluently without usage of an artifact is a spell that allows for himself & others to undergo mutations. This is how he can make his eye glow, & with the scepter he was able to mutate Megacorona so that its size & intelligence increase simultaneously. This was also how he could manipulate the DNA of multiple species to create the Beast.
* Healing Spell: Zolostene has a spell that allows him to heal his body from decay or injury, but he usually uses this in conjunction with scepter since it amplifies its effects.
*Disease Manipulation: Zolostene has created several viruses & diseases using his knowledge on them, including the infamous Coronavirus. He has also been able to make himself immune to all of them.
*Antimatter Manipulation: He was able to supply the Beast with an antimatter power source in his heart, & his magic can even defy the rules of annihilation by having both types of particles coexist harmoniously.
Alchemy: As a scientist who isn't afraid to use a bit of mysticism, Zolostene has a considerable knowledge of alchemy, the process of transmutating matter to create something new.
* Medicine/Potion Creation: The cures for the diseases he creates are usually made in the form of potions, like the cure to the Quaternary Plague. Not to mention, he was once a medical doctor before becoming a supervillain.
Lazer Vision: Zolostene can fire a green beam of energy from his left eye. This is a thin, focused beam that can even cut through Kaiser flesh, though that might've been due to the augmentation from his scepter.
Overhaul: By the single graze of his finger, Zolostene can deconstruct & reconstruct any organic matter he touches. This is why he wears gloves all the time. On most opponents, he can use this as a one-hit kill, but he doesn't like the mess it creates upon using it, which may be why he doesn't use it often. However, this was an essential ability in creating the Beast.
== Equipment ==
Steel Cane (formerly): In his first 2 appearances, Zolostene used a cane to help him walk. It was made of stainless steel, but was bent after the destruction of Dr. Sack's base. He would replace it with something far more superior later on.
The Scepter of Pestilence (formerly): Zolostene obtained an extremely powerful artifact on the Dark Web that is an incredible source of dark magical powers, even enough to rival the Infinity Gauntlet. It is silver in color with a twisted branch coiling around it & an orb on top that stores magical energy. It originated from a cult that worshiped the Horseman of Apocalypse, & contained a fraction of their power inside magical artifacts; this scepter draws power from Hazmus. While some of these magical powers might be able to be used by base Zolostene, they wouldn't perform nearly as well with him using the scepter as a conduit. If Zolostene didn't have his clairvoyance blocked by Hastur, his scepter would've made him more powerful than the Yellow King. Nowadays, the scepter is just an extension of Zolostene's being, only serving as a cane after Dan destroyed its orb of power.
*Augmentation: Zolostene can amplify his strength, speed, durability, & already existent powers with the scepter. This was how he was able to combat Dan; had it not been for the scepter, he would've been crushed like a bug. The scepter was also able to augment Megacorona so that its size & intelligence would grow simultaneously.
* Cosmic Eye: The scepter can grant its wielder sight beyond sight, allowing them to see whoever or whatever they want at a given time. For example, on Dan's birthday in 2018, Zolostene was able to get a clear picture of where Dan was & what he was doing, & he was also able to see Ultraman confronting Megacorona, even when in another dimension.
*Teleportation: The scepter allows Zolostene to instantly travel to other locations within the universe, as he was able to make a hasty getaway from Dan's house by teleporting to planet Carcosa.
**Dimensional Travel: The scepter can spawn portals to anywhere in the Multiverse, which was how Zolostene was able to send Megacorona from the Redimension to the Terrachaoverse.
* Force Fields: Zolostene can generate green force fields of energy from the scepter, shielding him from incoming attacks.
*Comatose Sealing Spell: The Beast was sealed in the Redimension thanks to Zolostene's magic, making it so that his body & soul were both dormant. This did not mean the Beast was dead, but he wasn't really alive, either. This spell takes much more time to prepare than others, but the exact words of the incantation remain classified.
*Necromancy Spell: To release the Beast from the Redimension, MORTIS briefly wielded the scepter to recite an eldritch spell that brought the Beast to life. This spell is not the Romanian chant typically used by magic wielders in this series; this one is spoken in R'lyehian & goes "Y'AI 'NG'NGAH, YOG-SOTHOTH, H'EEL'GEB, F'AI THRODOG, UAAAH!"
*Regenernegation Spell: In Almighty Tallest Danny's Unsuspecting 2019 Birthday Special, Zolostene claims he could've used a spell to negate Dan's healing factor so that Hastur could've properly defeated him. He didn't get to demonstrate this until he fought Dan himself, embedding all of his usual attacks with this spell, which is how he could make Dan stagger with his Lazer Vision. Normally, Dan would've healed instantly, but this time his healing factor was slowed down, allowing Zolostene to get another hit in.
* Summoning Spell: Zolostene can summon his many minions through the scepter by his own command.
* Sickening Strike: Zolostene can charge up the scepter with energy & jab it into his opponent, attacking all bodily systems at once. When amped up, it can even shut down these systems completely, effectively shutting down one's entire body.
* Attack Reflection: The scepter can be used to ward off incoming attacks, even from the Infinity Gauntlet.
*Virus Strand Beams: His most dangerous ability, Zolostene can transmit viruses through electrical currents, which are so strong they can breach through other dimensions. These beams can even affect those who are immune to diseases because of the sheer force of the beams' energy. They can be fired into one concentrated beam, or several strands of beams at once. One beam alone was a match for the Power Stone, making this the scepter's most powerful attack.
== Weaknesses ==
Zolostene is over 700 years old, & as expected, he's not exactly in the best condition. As a result of drinking from the Fountain of Youth, he's become immortal, but only in the sense that he cannot die from natural causes. Also, he has osteoporosis, evidently shown by his frequent (if not constant) usage of a cane. Plus, his magic is too powerful for his body to channel out, which is why he requires the usage of mystic artifacts. 
After becoming a Ghost, he lost almost all of his powers & is unable to physically interact with anything. 
== Trivia ==
* The reason why Zolostene couldn't obtain the ingredients for the Quaternary Plague cure himself is because some of them came from somewhere other than Earth. Besides, he needed someone more physically adept to get them for him, anyway.
* Zolostene's Overhaul power as seen in The End of the Plague is a direct reference to the villain named Overhaul from My Hero Academia. He even addresses this ability as a "quirk", which is how the characters in the show refer to superpowers.
