**Venosus** is a male super under the Delta Alpha branch. He has naturally occurring acid blood, as well as natural acid blood manipulation abilities, and is a B-ranked damager. Venosus is also a member of Phoenix Light.

## Biography

### Appearance

Venosus is a muscular pegasus of slightly below average height. He has a lime green coat and a short purple mane that he keeps blown back. His uniform consists of a striped purple top and dark purple pants, as well as a dark purple collar and a purple pull-over mask that causes his eyes to appear entirely purple. As a coreless super, he has no visible power markings.

### Personality

Venosus is a cocky and confident stallion within Phoenix Light. He has a strong faith in both himself in his team, often being rather braggadocios in combat, cracking one-liners when landing hits and boasting frequently about the successes of his team. Despite this, he's rather friendly and social, getting along well with the other teams in Delta Host. This implies that his arrogant nature stems from a place of genuine pride regarding his team, who he cares for greatly.

### Powers & Abilities

Venosus has naturally-occurring acid blood running through his veins, as well as acid blood manipulation abilities. This combination of powers allows him to attack by drawing his own blood, constructing acid blood and weaponry as well as deploying corrosive acid blasts. He applies these in a damager position, focusing on dealing as much damage as fast as possible, attacking with fervour and determination. However, he must be incredibly careful not to overuse his blood when attacking, as attacking with too much of his blood can lead to incapacitating blood loss and even death.
