## The Hades Rose

The Hades Rose is The Horseman of Death's horseman artifact, forged by Hades. The Hades Rose can use it's ether to grant Jack different deadly abilities. Doing so takes a great amount of ether and The Hades Rose needs time to rest before transferring ether again for a short time. The abilities of The Hades Rose are the following:

* "Hades' Blessing" - when channeling a great amount of ether, The Hades Rose can blast out a deathly smog that instantly kills most living things within a 1-5 meter range around The Hades Rose. This ability mainly uses Hades' ether.
* "Death's Touch" - When channeling ether into the host "Jack" making contact with the host can cause an itchy burning feeling. With enough ether, the host could potentially kill a living thing. This only works if the contact area is Wither Corruption.
* "Warp" - This uses extreme amounts of ether. The Hades Rose can use it's large amount of ether to open a rift that leads to another world. The Hades Rose is able to do this due to having parts of Hades' ether within it. Because of this, The Hades Rose can only travel to the underground. Warping can be potentially harmful to the host. If this ability is not used properly, the ether within the host would diminish entirely and they would potentially die. Most of the time the host would pass out due to the amount of ether being used, and could cause severe headaches. This only applies to hosts that do that have sufficient amounts of Hades' ether.
* "Telepathy" - This can only be done with Jack due to the spiritual soul connection with The Hades Rose. Anyone who is not Jack cannot interact telepathically with The Hades Rose unless they have the specific ability to do so.
* "Control" - This power can only be done with Jack due to the spiritual soul connection with The Hades Rose. This ability can cause The Hades Rose to very briefly take control over Jack's mind as a stronger version of "Telepathy". Doing this takes extreme amounts of ether and is not recommended to preform.

## Biography (Season 1)

### The New Horseman

A pigman known as Jack arrived at a mysterious dark tower in the ocean that he named The Sea Tower. On the top of the tower was a rose named The Hades Rose who could talk to Jack and give orders. Jack traveled to a nearby island and met four new strangers. Michael, Conquest, War, and Famine.

The Hades Rose tells Jack that Michael is not the nice guy he thought he was. Jack was tasked with planning the death of Michael.

Jack met up with each of the horseman and the others agreed to aid Jack in his task. An assassin was hired to kill Michael.

On the 25th of December, Michael, Conquest, War, Famine, and Jack, gathered around the tall Christmas tree. Each person opened their gifts until it got to Michael. A flash of lightning struck the skies as the assassin jumped down from the top of the tree, killing Michael in an instant.

Jack was transported back home. Days passed and Jack felt extreme guilt for his actions. He returned, in the hope of making things right.

Jack returns to The Hades Rose and learns that he could revive Michael. He needed the power of the Four Horseman Artifacts. After a dangerous encounter with Conquest, Jack was held in court for his actions. With some teamwork, Jack and The Hades Rose managed to steal Conquest's artifact.

Returning to The Sea Tower, Jack tried reasoning with War. Jack gets no for an answer and leaves, trying to avoid more conflict.

Returning to The Sea Tower once more, Jack and the rose are stumped on what to do. Conquest and Famine make an agreement with Jack and decide to help bring Michael back to life.

War sends a letter to the three and he is ready to negotiate. Jack, Conquest, and Famine, suit up for a battle and they head off to talk with War. A battle broke out. Jack, Conquest, and Famine, fought War. In the end, Jack's side won and War had no choice but to help Jack.

The group takes Michael's body to The Temple of Rejuvenation. There, Jack completed the ritual to bring Michael back to life.

The Hades Rose tells Jack to venture beneath The Sea Tower. Jack does so and finds an altar in a dark cave. Jack sets The Hades Rose on the altar and learns that he is a reincarnation of another pigman named Edward.

The Hades Rose also tells Jack that an apocalypse is getting closer day by day. The rose tells Jack that he needs his help to stop it. Jack was quick to agree. The Hades Rose contacts Hades, Hades opens a rift and Jack steps through.

## Explaining Wither Corruption

Jack has the same exact ether as The Hades Rose due to being a reincarnation of Edward (The Hades Rose). Because of this, whenever ether is used from either vessel, it uses both vessel's ether, connecting the two vessels for a short moment. The Hades Rose also has Hades' ether within it. When a connection is made i.e. using ether, Jack's vessel recognizes the Hades ether but is not compatible with using it. To combat this, Jack's vessel corrupts itself to make him compatible to use Hades' ether. This corruption only happens when the two vessels 'connect'. The corrupted areas are the areas of Jack's vessel that can utilize Hades' ether, thus making the areas more powerful.
