## Media Information

### Portrayals

Black Cross (Delta video games)

**Blot** is a male super under the Delta Alpha branch. He uses an ink weaponry core and is an A-ranked damager. Blot is also a member of the Curators squadron.

## Biography

### Appearance

Blot is a tall, slim dark grey pegasus with a black mane, his power markings manifesting in the form of a grey gradient on his wings. His mane and tail are both short and slicked. In uniform, he wears a blindfold made of ink, as well as a long-sleeve dark blue top and pants that are a darker shade of black.

### Personality

Blot is a very quiet pony, though this is more in part due to a lack of desire to speak than any shyness or rudeness. When Blot does choose to speak, he is often polite and sociable, enjoying the company of both fans and his squadron. On the battlefield, Blot is highly focused, determined to protect his team and any civilians present. He cares deeply about his loved ones and his community, which manifests itself in his drive to fight.

### Powers & Abilities

Blot utilizes an ink weaponry core that allows him to form weapons out of an ink that he generates from his body. He focuses mainly on bladed melee weapons, his combat style revolving around stealth. Because of this, he fights most frequently at night, utilizing his extremely dark colour palette to blend into the surrounding darkness. This has caused the rest of Delta Host to refer to him as nocturnal.

### Books

Blot appears in all versions of the Delta Host Beginner's Herodex, with his most recent entry stating the following:

> *Blot’s weapons are weapons to be feared - what’s scarier than seeing a pitch-black void swinging directly towards your face? A powerful fighter for the Curators, Blot creates his weapons out of pure black ink. He’s a bit quiet, but Blot isn’t a bad guy - he dedicates himself fully to protecting the Curators and protecting Delta Host, the two most important things to him. Blot’s power makes him a huge threat in the night, earning him the label of nocturnal amongst the other supers. He doesn’t mind.*
