Emet Selch

Solus Zos Galvus

"But yes, moral relativism and all that. Case in point- I do not consider you to be truly alive. Ergo, I will not be guilty of murder if I kill you"

-Emet Selch

## Powers

* Dark Energy Manipulation: Emet has an incredible ease to control the darkness around him, and it's versatility allows him to use it for nearly everything he does.
* True Sight: Emet Selch can discern whether or not someone is a mutant simply by feeling their bloodflow, and thus, also be able to know their exact location, given they're close enough.
* Endwalker: Emet marks a single target with a “Ravenous Assault” debuff. The debuff lasts for 3 turns. When a nearby ally of the target takes damage, the stacked target will then take half of the damage taken, debuffs are applied before halving. (Ex, ally takes 6 damage, target takes 3 damage total). Emet heals 1 HP whenever the stacked target takes damage from the debuff.

## Character Backstory

One of the first experiments of Black Mesa; Emet Selch carried on a normal life, until he was kidnapped and experimented on, becoming a Mutant. His whole “world” had been split apart and destroyed. His family, friends, everything eventually forgot him or simply disappeared. Due to obtaining powers stronger than what he was expected to, he was kept in high security at all times, until the incident happened, where he managed to escape, unleashing his full wrath on his captors. Now, after his whole life had been ruined, making him a monster, he’s determined to get it back, saving everyone who had run the same fate, that being, mutants, wiping off humans from the world in its entirety, so he and his kin can go back to living a normal life again.

## Personality Traits

Emet Selch’s personality comes off as very annoying and sassy, to the point where he can annoy even his allies. But this is just his way to cope with all the pain he carries, all the memories, people he lost. After spending so long being considered a monster and a danger to humans, he now considers them as “Broken”, inferior. Therefore, he doesn’t see them as living beings, and he doesn’t consider killing a human murder. He also acts very precisely and only when he knows his victory is guaranteed.

## Storyline

**TRANSFER OFFICER**

* Thanks to Elidibus, Emet Selch managed to join the Police Force as a Transfer Officer, with the objective to rise in the ranks, to eventually gain the trust of the higher-ups. He now has a **GUN**, so watch out NYC!

**THE PRIMALS**

* After escaping from the Black Mesa facilities, Emet Selch managed to also rescue another set of experiments; The Primals, beings capable of mutating other beings around them. However, this mutation would cause people to fall under the subject's control, something he is well aware of. He has been releasing them to the world for them to destroy everything in their path, giving a chance for "Broken beings" to become more ideal beings, like them (Basically, to become mutants). However, even if The Primals were to fail, his plan would still work in the end. Just what is he trying to do..?

**THE GEM ARMY**

* One night, Vera found herself in a corner of Times Square, where Emet Selch approached her. It took a bit until he managed to convince Vera he was on her side. Once he managed to calm her down, relatively... he proposed her to solve her troubles: "I can make your friends a reality", and as proof, he created Pearl, an amalgamation created by Vera's memories and Emet's dark manipulation powers. Once making sure what she had seen was real... Vera was convinced, Emet had done it again. However, he'd refrain from creating any new characters for the time being. "You two have a lot to catch up, don't you think?"
* Weeks later, Vera had shapeshifted into Rose Quarts, due to Pearl's presence. Things had gone great for Vera this whole time, all thanks to Emet Selch, which they happened to call, by accident. And as prompted, he showed up once more. However, this time it seemed it was only to chat, as for what he could see... Vera was doing great with JUST pearl. "... I had thought I'd need to bring more of them to life, but it looks like Pearl was enough". Making Vera ask if he REALLY could bring everyone to life, which he replied positively to, reducing her Noise Meter to 0%. Immediately after, Vera showed Emet all of her concepts of her new comic, Steven Universe, filled with various different Gem Models, asking him to create the Gem Army, formed by Rubies, Amethysts, Rose Quarts, and Jaspers. Of course, Emet accepts the deal, and promises to do so once he's ready. This DEFINITELY won't bring any trouble... right?

## Relationships

**Elidibus -** Emet's accomplice, he was aswell kept imprisoned alongside Emet. He usually gathers information and prepares new plans, to then report them to Emet Selch, for him to put into action. "Elidibus might be an insuferable bore, but he is no fool." -Emet.

**Lahabrea [DECEASED] -** Like Elidibus, Lahabrea was also another subject in the series of experiments of Black Mesa, however, he didn't adapt to his powers like Emet or Elidibus, and ended up dying during testing. Emet does not like to talk about this, however. "Humans? They're the real monsters. I've seen it with my own eyes." -Emet

**Celeste/Digia -** Sensejacked by Digia, Emet now has the most valuable ally in all of NYC for his plans; entertaining her... with the greatest chaos no one could ever imagine. He considers her as a being with great power, and is glad to be able to have her by his side. "You and I are going to be VERY good friends, I can tell." -Emet.

**Vera -** A lonely girl, who Emet has managed to trick into another one of his many plans... presenting himself as the answer to all her troubles, creating her "friends" into life with his powers. He only thinks Vera is a broken being, like the humans. However, he does not blame her for it, as it is the human's fault she is like this, just like him. "Remember, if you require my aid... you need but to call." -Emet
