Lethalisk

Lethalisk is the Simplicitrix/Stabilized Simplicitrix's DNA sample of a Moiraia Kolakeia from the subterranean caves of The Mavripetra Underground within the depths of the planet Batong Pang-Alahas.
==Appearance==
Lethalisk is a large serpentine alien with a very long tail in place of legs, mostly covered in dark grayish-purple scales, slightly lighter down his underbelly, and completely black across his shoulders and chest, and his arms from the elbow down. Lethalisk has a wide mouth filled with jagged fangs across the darker portion of his chest, with two triangular eyes below, large blades extending from the top of his wrists, and smaller spikes coming off his elbows.
Lethalisk has no head or proper face, instead having the Simplicitrix where that would be.
==Personality==
Normally cryptic and hardly communicative, Lethalisk's personality fluctuates and becomes more like the deceased individual that he is posthumously using the abilities of.
==Powers==
*Lethalisk can perfectly mimic and access the powers and abilities of anyone that the user has witnessed the death of, while also being able to tap into their biological features, particular skills, and fighting prowess. In the case of Alan Nomaly, the particular powers that he can replicate are as follows, in chronological order: 
**Dictator Agorm Hitmas' Tetramand physiology, including enhanced strength, durability, jumping, and so forth.
**Hagan Maximus' Arburian Pelarota physiology after his transformation, including a sphere transformation that allows him enhanced speed, energy deflection, and mobile invulnerability.
**Hazel Rainart's Numbing Agent Semblance, allowing him to block out and suppress feelings of pain.
**Adam Taurus' Moonslice Semblance, allowing him to absorb and store damage inside a physical object, such as a weapon, and release it at will.
**Emerald Sustrai's Hallucinations Semblance, allowing him to manipulate the sensory information of individuals to cause mental hallucinations.
**Neopolitan's Overactive Imagination Semblance, allowing him to manifest tangible illusions that shatter like glass, such as for disguises.
**Cinder Fall's Scorching Caress Semblance, allowing him to superheat objects and alter their shape through physical contact.
**Samael Missbrauch's Mesmer physiology, including manipulating others through eye contact and the trigger word of "normal."
** Although Mercury Black doesn't have an accessible Semblance like the other Earth-ERTH characters, Lethalisk can mimic his fighting expertise.
*Lethalisk's serpentine form grants him enhanced flexibility and stealth, sharp fangs and claws, and a prehensile tail.
*Lethalisk has a natural resistance to elemental forces, such as extreme temperatures and suffocating winds.
===Other Powers===
*In The RWBYA Adventures, Lethalisk is known to bear the powers of:
**Richard Nomaly's To'kustar transformation, including his immense size, cosmic rays, and cosmic storm manipulation.
**Hazel Rainart's Numbing Agent Semblance, as stated above. (Alan 3)
**Penny Polendina's Winter Maiden abilities of elemental magic. (Alan 2)
**The Silver Eyes of the unnamed Fox Faunus host within The Hound. (Alan 2)
*Richard's Negative Lethalisk can access the powers of:
**Matahat's Arachnichimp physiology, including enhanced agility and reflexes, web generation, and wall scaling.
**Neopolitan's Overactive Imagination Semblance, as stated above.
**Cinder's Scorching Caress Semblance, as stated above.
*Pride's Lethalisk accesses the powers of:
**Cinder's Scorching Caress Semblance, as stated above.
== Weaknesses== 
*Lethalisk's abilities has several strict restrictions, including the user having to witness the death themselves in-person, meaning watching it through a recording or viewing it through someone else's memories doesn't count for them, the inability to replicate lost powers the individual doesn't have at the time of death, such as Mercury's stolen Semblance, limitations stemming from the individual themselves, such as those cannot die by normal means, and the loss of accessibility for anyone resurrected or brought back to life.
*Lethalisk's deceased biology replication cannot recreate unnatural biology, such as cybernetics and prosthetics, nor can it create separate objects such as weapons, meaning if Lethalisk witnesses the death of a Simplicitrix user, he cannot copy their device. 
**If Lethalisk were to witness the death of a Simplicitrix user while they are currently a transformation, then he can access the abilities and powers of that specific transformation, but them only, as stated above with Negative Way Big.
**Lethalisk can, however, recreate mechanical physiology such as that of a Chronosapien as it is biological to that species.
*While Lethalisk can replicate the magical abilities of a previous Maiden user, as stated above with Alan 2, he is incapable of actually becoming a Maiden himself when used by a male, or male-identifying individual.
==Etymology== 
*Lethalisk's name is a play on "lethal" and "basilisk."
*Lethalisk's species name is the Greek translation of "fatal flattery."
*Lethalisk's planet name is the Greek translation of "blackstone."
**The "underground" portion references Doom Patrol; the character Crazy Jane uses the name "The Underground" to refer to the place in her mind where her alters reside when not fronting. While Lethalisk does not have alters, his personality does slightly chance to resemble that of the person whose powers he is mimicking, hence the indirect and non-exact connection.
==Trivia==
*Lethalisk comes from the same planet as Geode.
*Lethalisk pays homage to Jethro Blackstone from BLAC, namely his serpentine appearance being based off Jethro's mythological allusion of the Basilisk, his postmortem abilities being based off his Semblance of Fatal Flattery, which his species name translates to, and his color palette and planet names referencing his last name, as his colors come from the Blackstone block in Minecraft.
**Lethalisk's Simplicitrix symbol placement references the metallic mask Jethro wears over his scarred face, while his spiked arms reference Jethro's weapon in the form of two spiked gauntlets, Self-Infliction. Lethalisk initially being untalkative also nods to Jethro's socially awkward personality.
*If Lethalisk had witnessed Penny's death while in her robot form, he would be able to mimic her artificial physiology, as it is "natural" to her; this would also make her one of the few replications wherein Lethalisk could actually access her weapon, as Floating Array is physically attached to Penny, and therefore apart of her physiology.
*It is currently unclear if:
**Lethalisk in the primary timeline is capable of mimicking Cinder's Fall Maiden powers.
**Lethalisk is capable of mimicking the absurdly weird powers of a Samswordone.
