Heartwyrm

**Heartwyrm** is the Omnitrix's DNA Sample of an S-V3RN from the planet Archivora in 5 Years Later.

## Appearance

Heartwyrm is a long segmented Draconic Centipede-like alien. He is split up into 3 segments the tops of which are covered in crustacean like shell the front segment is the head which possesses jagged clamp like teeth, a curved chin spike, an organic LED screen like visor that resembles a crown with a digital pupil, Several skittering insectoid legs and beside his mouth are 2 arms that end in viscus red vein like tendrils. The Middle Segment is wrapped in a black and green suit. The final section is an enlarged abdomen with several red veins like viscous tendrils protruding from it.

## Abilities

* **Instinctual Medical Knowledge-** Heartwyrm has built in medical knowledge allowing it to preform advanced surgeries, most commonly heart surgery.
* **Cardiac Replacement-** Heartwyrm can replace another species heart by surgically removing the host's heart, devouring it and then curling up and replacing it using its red tendrils to replace the necessary valves and veins.
* **Mutative Regeneration-** Due to Heartwyrm's blood being filtered into their host, the host gains the ability to regenerate from severe damage, although the repaired sections become more draconic with each regeneration.
* **X-Ray Manipulation-** Heartwyrm can manipulate the X-Ray spectrum, most commonly used as X-Ray Vision.

## Parasite Parameters

* **Host Must Have A Heart-** Heartwyrm needs to replace a heart of another being as this is the optimal place for them to function, they would die if not replacing a heart.
* **Host Must Be Of Organic Composition-** Heartwyrm's host needs to be made of flesh and blood in order for his mutagenic properties to properly bond with the host to prevent rejection.
* **Size Limitation-** Heartwyrm can compact himself into the size of a small soccer ball, his host needs to be able to accommodate that size during the bonding process. The host themselves must not be too small or Heartwyrm will not only be unable to fit inside of them, but will drain their blood too quickly, the host also can not be too large or else Heartwyrm will be unable to cope with the strain.
* **Blood Filtration System-** Heartwyrm survives by filtering nutrients out of their host's blood stream and filtering out their mutagenic blood, this is the only way they can survive.

## Weaknesses

* **Electrical Shock-** Heartwyrm is effectively a heart, a powerful electrical shock can stop his functions.
* **Acid-** Heartwyrm's gifted regeneration can be overcome with powerful acid.
* **Lead-** Heartwyrm's X-Rays are stopped by simple lead.

## Mythology

The S-V3RN (Sinlairian Variant 3 Revision Nemesis) is one of the many contributing factors to Archivora's continued planetary quarantine. The events that led up to the quarantine are scarce, due to the evacuated inhabitants locations being unknown, but what could be gathered from communication satellites and the automated warnings from the planet about the quarantine, are that an unknown species came from beneath the planet's surface. This species, being some sort of swarm-like life form that could consume forms of life and then copy them, started as small life forms but gradually built their way up and started to combine things that had been assimilated by them, up to the point they started to consume and assimilate weaponry. The inhabitants' fears of being assimilated lead to an all out war on the planet, trying to eliminate “The Swarm”.

Not much is known about the war, due to communications being scrambled amongst secured channels after a broadcast was made by a member of The Swarm that had assimilated a news station anchor. The broadcast was analyzed and deemed gibberish and not an attempt to communicate. Towards the end of this war, new satellites were put in place. With their communications being extracted, these satellites detailed 2 plans devised by the inhabitants to end the war, Planetary Evacuation and the “Sinlairian Project”. The details aren't fully known, but the project lead to the creation of the subject known as “S-V3RN”, an entity that was created by the inhabitants to turn them into super soldiers and was specifically designed to use traits of species that The Swarm had not been consuming. The project was a horrible success, as the S-V3RN proved to be a sapient life form which then escaped containment and started reproducing, which brought it into conflict with The Swarm as they started fighting for control of the planet. Some original inhabitants willingly stayed behind to become hosts to the S-V3RN, under the promise that they could share the planet if The Swarm was removed. The S-V3RN agreed and a legion of them helped defend the evacuating inhabitants, whose last act was to activate the quarantine beacons as their ships where traced last heading to the nearest habitable planet, an unforgiving ice world. Unfortunately, attempts to find them have led to no results, with only the wreckage of one of the evacuation ships being found on the planet's surface. The natives of the planet were deemed too hostile for an on-planet search.

As of now, a research station has been established on the moon of Archivora by an unknown third party, monitoring the situation to prevent either the Swarm or the S-V3RN from getting off the planet. The conflict seems to still be raging, but there have no attempts from either side to leave the planet, despite estimates showing The Swarm should've assimilated some form of intelligence by this stage. The most notable event from the planet was a broken transmission from an unknown sender, as “Tar” was all that could be made out for their name along with the message, which seemed to be a general warning to outsiders to stay out of the conflict or else.

## Trivia

* Heartwyrm's name comes from a combination of Heartworm, a real life parasite and Wyrm a type of Dragon ones that have lived beyond ancient times.
* Heartwyrm's mutagenic regeneration is inspired by those undergone by William Birkin of the Resident Evil Series, along with those of Nemesis.
* Heartwyrm being a parasite that makes other aliens Dragon was done by Drezen due to O.R.Ash and Kuro the Artist stated distaste of drawing Dragons.
* The overall alien was inspired by permission from an acquaintance of Drezen as such part of the Species name is based on a username of theirs as is the planet name.
