## Stats

**Arzen** was a Marine Vice-Admiral and a Brother of the Aeons. He loves nothing more than experiments on living things in an attempt to make the perfect Navy soldier. He was the commanding officer of Marine Base G-4 in Paradise before his defeat at the hands of the Devil's Luck Pirates.

## **Appearance**

Arzen is a large middle aged man with green eyes and a large white beard. In his first appearance he wears a blood-stained white apron over a green collar shirt and a black tie, a Marine Justice Coat, round glasses and a vat of green liquid on his back. The vat has many tubes that come from the vat and go into his body. After injecting himself with the green fluid, he had mutated wings and extremely muscular legs.

About 20 to 30 years ago, Arzen was a more normal-looking young man with glasses and a brown mustache with brown hair.

Following his defeat at the hands of the Devil's Luck Pirates and Trevor, he was rescued by agents of the Aeons and taken to Chronograd, where he was healed. He appeared in a form commonly called "Bio-Arzen": as an oozy, green, gooey creature, now without the tank on his back. Pieces of his own flesh and organs are attached to the gooey material.

## **Personality**

Arzen speaks with a very prevalent (borderline comical) German accent and values science above all else, this can be seen as G-4 has at least one building completely devoted to experiments. He also has a habit of using German phrases or words such as "nicht gut", "Dummkopf", and calling people "sausages" and "Bratwurst" when he's upset. Arzen is ambitious and power-hungry: he was a founding member of the Aeons at their conception but his loyalty is questionable, as when he returned as Bio-Arzen he was quick to put his own goals of revenge and immortality before the cult's main goal, even going so far as to plan to kill the All Mother.

Arzen is a very sadistic and meticulous individual, finding pleasure in conducting painful, inhumane and often fatal experiments on his fellow human beings. He also seems to enjoy experimenting on himself, suggesting a degree of sadomasochistic tendencies. Arzen gets very frustrated when he doesn't get his way, as he kills Marines who don't move fast enough or disappoint him in other ways. After becoming Bio-Arzen, he no longer sleeps.

## **Abilities / Powers / Equipment**

### Overview

Arzen has incredible strength and scientific knowledge. He fights with the liquid in his vat. As a Marine Vice-Admiral and the supreme commanding officer of the G-4 Marine Base, he had absolute authority over the Base and all of its personnel, as well as unlimited access to all of its equipment and resources.

#### Strength

Arzen has the ability to hold a massive vat filled with liquid on his back for days on end. He also has proved his strength by ripping off Cyril's arm without difficulty.

#### Tubes

Arzen uses the tubes to make people fall asleep, boost his jumping distance, and damage people from the inside. Extensive use on anyone other then Arzen has shown their skin start to melt off of their body.

#### Acidic Injections

Arzen attacks his target twice with his tubes and injects them with a acidic liquid (+11 to hit and 12d6 + 8 damage).

#### Muscle Relaxants

Arzen injects some type of muscle relaxant into his target. Arzen makes an attack roll against a target, if he hits the target takes no damage, however it must make a constitution saving throw, if they fail they fall asleep for a undertermined amount of turns, if they succeed they are unaffected.

#### Self Modification

Arzen can inject himself with his tubes, doing a number modifications to his own body. It costs Arzen an action to do this during combat.

* Mutant Wings - Arzen injects his back with his tubes and them grows a pair of mutated wings he can use to fly.
* Leg Pumping - Arzen injects his legs with his tubes and increases the strength of his legs, this increases his jumping distance and movement speed.

#### Scientific Knowledge

The vat on Arzen's back seems to give him a Bane-like strength boost. Too much of it has killed lesser Marines and seriously injured Trevor, but Arzen seems unaffected by it. Arzen also has some knowledge of surgeries, as his subject don't seem to die immediately, but over a period of time.

### Haki

Arzen has access to Armament Haki, it is unknown if he also has Observation.

### Bio-Arzen Overview

After being defeated and healing himself, Arzen returns as Bio-Arzen. In this state Arzen can more easily access his mutations. He is stronger and more resistant to physical attacks acting similarly to a logia. He can also change his form at will, or summon goo creatures to fight for him. He also doesn't sleep anymore.

#### Hand of Goo

Bio-Arzen can use his goo to burn those he touches.

#### Legendary Action - Goo Men

Using his Legendary Action, Arzen can summon 2d4 goo men to fight.

They are not resilient, having only 1 hit point and low AC, however they do a good amount of damage 3d6+? acidic damage (+8 to hit)

#### Shapeshifting

Being mostly goo, Arzen can easily access his previous transformation, like being able to grow wings. However, he can also adapt to opponents he's currently fighting, as be was able to partially turn into a bear and was able to gain the ability to attack three times while Ragnar was in a Frenzy.

#### **Memory Affecting Goo**

Arzen's goo has the ability to alter and affect the the memories of people. (It is unknown if this is a canon ability or a gimmick used for a joke)

#### Goo Explosion

Bio-Arzen's ultimate attack, as he causes a massive wave of goo to flow over his enemies, however, once he uses this move, he's reduced to 1 HP, as he uses up most of his goo. Each creature in a 60-foot-radius sphere centered on that point must make a Dexterity saving throw. A target takes a unknown big amount of damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

## **Relationships**

### Enemies

#### Devil's Luck Pirates

Arzen hates the Crew for defeating him and destroying his base, along with some of his research. He also wants to conduct research on William, since he is a member of the D. Clan. However, despite his grudge, when he was overpowered by them on Chronograd he resolved to make a deal with them in order to make his escape, seemingly valuing his own life over revenge.

##### Cyril

Arzen appears to dislike Cyril after the young marine disappointed him, so he ripped off Cyril's left arm. As a result, Cyril hates and fears him.

#### Trevor

The two ended up at odds with each other during the G-4 Arc. During their fight Arzen remarked that he had never liked Trevor. The feeling turned out to be mutual, as Trevor starts screaming at him, revealing that he never approved of his experiments and thought of him as a monster. It turns out that Trevor only tolerated Arzen's behavior because he was his superior and because he believed that what the Vice Admiral was doing was ultimately for the sake of the greater good. Arzen ended up demoting Trevor during their fight, and although the demotion was never put into effect, it was still enough to make Trevor hate him even more. This hatred was great enough so that when the crew landed on Chronograd, Trevor ran off to find and kill Arzen as soon as he could.

#### Boss

Arzen was the one who experimented on Boss, causing him untold suffering in the process.

#### The All Mother

Despite technically being her servant and subordinate as a member of the Aeons, Arzen explicitly stated his desire to kill the All Mother in order to gain more power.

### Allies

#### Hastings

Back when Arzen was still a Captain, he was apparently well acquainted with with Captain Hastings. Hastings trusted him enough to hand over his lieutenant to him as a test subject.

#### V

V and Arzen used to work together very closely, and V used to be one of the Four Brothers of the Aeons, same as Arzen. In Episode 36, Arzen went so far as to call him his friend. However, Arzen also thought V was insane and, being jealous and scared of his armor, he 'shot that shit into space', causing V to leave the Aeons.

#### Captain Verona

Captain Verona was Arzen's subordinate during his time as a G-4 Vice-Admiral. The exact nature of their relationship is relatively unknown, but they both loved engineering, tinkering, inventing and experimentation. Verona is also the biological daughter of V, Arzen's former partner and friend.

### Other

#### Rain

Marine Lieutenant Rain was handed over to Captain Arzen by her mentor and superior, Captain Hastings, for human experimentation. According to Hastings himself, this was done in order to make sense of the mysterious connection that Rain has with marine wildlife, including the Sea Kings, in order for her to learn to know herself better. However, it is clear that Arzen has never seen in Rain anything but a perfect test subject and a means to some potentially nefarious end.

## **History**

Arzen killed his own brother and sisters when he was young, so they could never be used as a bargaining chip against him. When Arzen was young he was quite the player. Some time ago, he started research into his goo. About 28 years ago he helped Trevor join the Marines and taught him much of what he knows. In the ending scenes of Episodes 34 and 35 it was revealed that not only did Arzen perform human experiments on Rain, but he was also working together with V, the former Eighth Flame, during this time.

Arzen was based on Chronograd before he was killed by Ani-Bullet. He had been reconstituted into his perfect goo form, but the fight with the Devil's Luck Pirates ended with his defeat. After his heart was detroyed, the crew burned all of his remains.
