## Appearance

Simon is a handsome young man with dark blue hair and a muscular yet slender frame.

## Personality

Deeply charismatic and mature for someone of his age. Simon is the type to embrace the unknown and strives to learn whatever he can. Finding enjoyment in improving himself through his own daily efforts. Although he is kind and thoughtful, he is in no way naive and rarely does things that don't help him or his friends. One of his bad habits is how he can come up with exceedingly deceitful plans that takes advantage of his opponents psychological weaknesses.

According to Bahil, Simon's greatest strength is his overwhelming 'Madness' that allows him to challenge the meaning of common sense to achieve his goals.

## Abilities

### Necromancer Abilities

#### Summoning:

Simon's main magic system and his chosen Kizen Major. Originally, Simon was interested in Summoning because it was the type of magic he's seen the most and had the strongest impression on him despites it's bad reputation. Through one coincidence after another and his own efforts, Simon became one of the most successful students in Kizen through Summoning Magic. Among his various skills, Simon is most confident in his Skeleton control and restoration techniques. Such as numerous different types of Bone Armor remakes.

Notable Spells: Restoration, Bone Nail, Bone Spear, Bone Armor, Partial Bone Armor, Bone Armor Handgun Mode, Skeleton Dash, Corpse Explosion, Funeral Song, Zombie Summoning.

Non-Legion Summons:

* Mud Golem: A huge summon with a large body made by the agglomeration of soil and mud centering on a ‘core’ that had Summoning magic applied to it.
* Overlord: An unique mollusk type undead made by artificially strengthening it's soft body with mithril. Making it's six tentacles incredible sharp and fast. But has virtually no defensive properties in its main body. Usually it is stored inside a special subspace to protect it's defenseless body. After it's use starts becoming limited in his second year, the Vanilla Group modifies the Overlord to fuse the six tentacles into just two and refine it's body to make it faster and stronger with a drastically increased ranged.
* Deimos: Made from the skeleton of the level 8 monster, Deimos. Although it was made from just a calf, the Deimos is a monster known as the Lord of the Seas and is the main ingredient in producing Kizen's famous Nether Whale. Simon's Deimos skeleton is nearly unmatched in underwater combat due to its speed and powerful water blasts spells. What stands out is that the Deimos skeleton is capable of reproducing the signature power of a living Deimos. The 'Alpha' ability that let's it command all the creatures of the sea. With this skeleton, Simon is nearly unmatched in aquatic battle.
* Giant Sea Monster Zombie: A zombified giant sea monster that Simon killed. Due to its massive size and degraded body, this summon could only be used once for about 20 minutes. Simon made the most of it to protect his castle during the siege game of the 4th BDMAT and ended up using Corpse Explosion on the creature.
* Skeleton Mage: To create a Lich, Simon first needed to prove that he could make a Skeleton Mage in the earlier portions of class. Although he had a lot of trouble, he managed to create skeletons capable of Ice, Fire, and Wind spells. Simon used the Skeleton Mage's to help him cast Corpses Explosion on the Giant Sea Monster Zombie.
* Poison Ghouls: Modified Ghouls that house a container of poison in it's body. So when Corpse Explosion is casted on it, the poison sack explodes spreading it everywhere.
* Corrupted Death Knight: A special type of Death Knight created from the corpse of a paladin. Presumably a Saintess. This is one of the three Top-Class Summons only used by the best summoners in the world. Among the top three summons created by Simon, the Corrupted Death Knight is the only undead that doesn't speak. Although it's an undead, it can use a few low level divinity spells with corrupted effects fueled by Jet-Black instead. Her swordsmanship is excellent and has the ability to heal from even fatal wounds through the use of her flag shaped holy sword. Can also revive undead to serve her even if they've been detonated via corpse explosion. The Corrupted Death Knight managed to fight a regular Death Knight with no issue but is theoretically resistant to Divinity. Has a strange habit of tapping her forehead against Simon's.
* Bone Dragon: Made from the Bones of the Red Dragon Myrmiz and the heart of the Silver Dragon Haris, it is Simon's strongest non-legion undead. It's full power might even surpass the Ancient Undead of the 7th Legion. Although, because of how it was created, the Bone Dragon requires a ridiculously huge amount of Magicite Stones to power it. Due to it's own personality quirks, rather than being a summon that Simon commands, they have a give and take relationship in the form of a contract.
* Behemoth Battleship: A giant undead warship that can fly through the sky and deploy a large number of undead through it's Colony system. It combines the power of both summoned type undead and legion type undead to produce an incredible degree of utility. It's main undead compose of Royal Guard Skull Wing's that can be launched like torpedoes at ultra-high speed accompanying equally large amount of power.

#### Combat Dark Magic:

The second Dark Magic system most frequently used by Simon. Due to his mountain upbringing, Simon possesses incredible strength and stamina. When he failed in all other subjects after entering Kizen, this subject was the only one where he exceled in since the beginning. So much so, that Hong Feng, the instructor for the first year class, invited Simon to become her direct disciple on the first day.

Notable Spells: Jet-Black Stepping, Jet-Black Eruption, Wave Shot,

#### Curses

Originally, Simon never had much interest or skill in Curses. Rarely, if ever using them for the majority of his first semester. Much to his professor's displeasure. But as an elite student of Kizen, he still keeps up with his Curses class to the point of easily casting simple curses on command.

This trend changed when Professor Bahil gave Simon a unique curse tailored for him. Stimulating Simon's desire to learn more about the art of Curses. Later, he became so skilled at curses that he was able to learn Phantasus's specialty curse that took years of trial and error to refine into an original spell. A curse so powerful it managed to put a Level 8 monster to sleep.

Notable Spells: Sleep - Phantasus Original + Bahil Remake, Compellonia,

#### Hemomancy

For the most part, Simon cannot use Hemomancy Spells because he possesses the unique SM-01 blood type which has never been seen before. So although he can still use some blood spells, it's impossible to accurately train in without detailed study. Initially, it is believed that his blood type is consumed by Jet-Black to multiply the amount of Jet-Black in spells. In the second semester of his first year, thanks to the research of Professor Silage, Simon acquired the new spell 'Cloud' which is the main Hemomancy Spell he uses.

* Cloud: A special Hemomancy Spell exclusive to Simon who has the only SM-01 blood type. It produces an emerald colored cloud capable of linking itself to Simon and can be controlled similar to a summoned undead. It can move objects from a distance or turn into a rope for Simon to travel with. It has the notable feature of sharing pain with Simon.
* Blood Golem: A Summoned Creature that uses Hemomancy. Originally, this summon also uses Curses but that necessity was bypassed due tot the properties of Cloud. When summoned, it can absorb around 80% of the damage taken to Simon with its own body. When fighting, the Blood Golem can absorb blood from fallen enemies to heal itself, healing Simon at the same time.
* Royal Guard: A Simon original that dissolves the Blood Golem and has the blood coat over skeletons. This vastly increases their strength, speed, and fighting capabilities multiple times over. Simon is able to break his control limit with this spell and control up to 23 skeletons at once. By changing the undead it covers from the skeletons to the Overlord, its cutting power increases exponentially. Can also be used with Skeleton Archers or the Skull Wings. Simon has created a jetpack like wing set with this spell. But it shares the Blood Golems feature of sharing damage. Multiplying the shock every time an Emerald Skeleton is defeated.

#### Necromancy

Simon has little to no talent in Necromancy. This is because he cannot feel the 'Spirit' that is required to use Necromancy Spells.

#### Mechanics of Jet Black

As the foundation of all Black Magic, Simon learns to understand dozens of Rune's and magical formulas that are needed to produce spells. Unlike typical necromancers who care about the results and effects, Simon cares more deeply about the process and cause behind the theoretical. To the point he doesn't use establish formula's in his spells if he doesn't have a full understanding of how they function.

Due to his unique insight, Simon has been able to make modifications to different spells without an adverse spell reaction.

#### Poisonous Alchemy

After Professor Belya took over the Poisonous Alchemy class, Simon developed the Poison blood which allows a far greater degree of resistance against poisons and toxins. He becomes incredibly knowledgeable in different types of ingredients from plants to monster parts and can create both poisons and effective antidotes to them.

### Legion

Simon is the Commander of the 7th Undead Legion. Succeeding his father who was once feared across the continent as the most powerful of Commanders. Despite being a newborn Necromancer who hasn't opened his core for even a month, Simon was able to assemble and contract Pier, the Marshall of the legion. His legion remains to be a far cry from his father's legion since a great number of the Legion's Ancient Undead are still lost, Simon is steadily reassembling the legion.

Due to the Incident of Betrayal where Richard turned the power of the 7th Legion on his fellow necromancers to save Anna, the entire legion was placed on a red notice to be destroyed by the Dark Alliance. Because of that, Simon had to operate the Legion in secrecy for two years under the pseudonym Pion.

Ancient Undead: The core forces of a Legion and the reason they are so powerful. These unique undead further command other undead, breaking the logic of limit in numbers that all other necromancers face.

Pier: The Marshall of the 7th Legion. Directly contracted to Simon and holds the second highest authority of the legion. Although his own combat strength is very high, as a Skeleton, Pier can be worn as Bone Armor and dramatically increase Simon's abilities. His main weapon is the Great Sword of Destruction that is capable of making wounds that cannot be healed.

* Dimensional Slash: A technique that can ignore space and cut through obstacles towards it's target. This is Simon's signature technique with Pier and has cut through every enemy and barrier it's been used against.
* Karl's Inheritance: The Great Sword of destruction absorbed the power of the Ancient Undead Karl. Giving the sword the ability to produce poisonous dogs to launch at opponents. More importantly, it can absorb the power of a Dungeon Master, giving Simon full control over that Dungeon.
* Will to Save: A technique Simon created to save Meilyn that allows him to ignore distance, barriers, obstacles, and dimensions, to reach a designated target. Must have someone as the endpoint. It's range is shortened when used offensively.
* Beelzebub's Corruption: The remnant power of the Ancient Undead Beelzebub that can reverse or corrupt aspects of existence.
* Holy Undead Armor: By channeling Divinity through Pier as Bone Armor, he becomes a Holy Undead that is all but immune to Divinity. Can start using Divinity infused attacks making it exceptionally dangerous against Priests and Necromancers alike.

Elizabeth: Simon's second Ancient Undead. The Captain of the Legion's Spider Troops. In combat, her specialties are fighting against hordes of weaker enemies, setting up traps and ambushes, along with entrapment. But Elizabeth's specialty is in espionage and intelligence. Even so, she easily cut apart one of the Heavenly Blood Cult's Bishops and their 8 Blood Golems at once.

* Transformation: Weaving her webs around her, Elizabeth can change her appearance completely. Regardless of age, gender, or race.
* Corpse Spiders: Elizabeth's undead army. A poisonous spider type undead that can use it's webs for both attacking and movements.
* Queen Spiders: Large spiders capable of mass producing corpse spiders for the army.
* Gehiem: A Simon and Elizabeth combination that creates immensely powerful defensive threads to block attacks.

Prince: Simon's third Ancient Undead. The ruler of Zombies who currently occupies the Death Lands. A paradise for the Captain of the Zombie Troops. Because of his crown, Prince cannot use his main body. Instead, he possesses other zombies to fight. Because of this, despite being strong, he has a tendency overestimate his capabilities which gets him killed.

* Crown: An artifact that grants Prince the ability to command all Zombies. Even zombies used by other necromancers. When worn by Simon, it's true power manifests and can immediately take control of a vast number of zombies that are strengthen by his Jet-Black. It's power grants Simon the ability to touch Compello, allowing him to use Corpse Explosion before even learning of the spells existence and sanctifying Prince and his Zombie Army with Divinity to cast Celestial Explosion.
* Resurrection and Possession: Prince has the ability to possess the body of a zombie, transforming it into a copy of himself with all his strength and endurance. Even if the clone is killed, Prince can continue possessing another zombie without issue. In total, he has nine lives which can be restored once a week if lost.
* Gehiem: A specialized Corpse Explosion that uses Prince's incredible amount of Jet-Black to reach near nuclear levels of destruction. Prince himself doesn't like the spell.

Akemus: (deceased) Simon's fourth Ancient Undead and first captain who immediately pledged his allegiance to Simon. He is the first flying undead to join Simon's army and Captain of the Skull Wing Troops. Originally, due to his loyalty remaining to Richard, he only referred to Simon as 'Young Master'. Once Simon managed to defeat him in combat, Akemus swore true loyalty to Simon. Akemus's Core broke during the final battle with Magnus.

* Skull Wings: Akemus's army made up of half-harpy half-human type undead. They remain as Simon's main ariel force even after Akemus's death.
* Cursed Feathers: Akemus can implant curses in his feathers and use them as weapons against his opponents. He gave Simon five feathers imbued with tracking spells that he can locate anywhere on the planet.
* Gehiem: Akemus grows six or twelve wings and has his fighting ability drastically improved.

Hersheva: Originally, she was a Lich made by Simon during his first-year. As his first among the Top-Three Summon Undead along with Death Knight and Bone Dragon, Hersheva is Simon's leading accomplishment in his first year. Made from extremely expensive ingredients such as a Crystal Skeleton, the living wand Areldelru, and the heart of Hersheva, she is a miraculously created Lich with the abilities to turn anything into gold. During Simon's fight against Silage, he performed an insane operation and transformed Hersheba into a Legion-Type Undead. Although not technically an Ancient Undead, everyone in Simon's Legion recognizes her as an equivalent to one. Officially making her the Captain of the Mummy Troops.

* Life Vessel: The Core of the Lich. A heart infused with special magic that grants it the power to produce it's own Jet-Black and independent action without the need of its caster.
* Wand Body: A unique feature of Hersheva is that unlike all other Lich's, her consciousness is placed inside the sentient wand after she and Areldelru fought for dominance over each other. By leaving her Life Vessel inside a subspace, she can still use all her magic and Jet-Black from the wand. Easily solving one of the Lich's greatest weaknesses.
* Golden Flower: Hersheva's special ability when she was alive. Which was to turn anything she touched into Gold and can control it at will. She can use this ability to create a sand avatar of herself. According to her, this ability is weaker than it originally was.
* Golden King: The second ability of Hersheva. Gold and black cloth wraps around Simon as he uses her abilities and he can start creating buildings made out of sand. After becoming an undead, she obtained the additional ability to produce Mummies from these buildings.
* Golden World: Hercheva's final ability that creates a vortex of sand and transports anyone inside into a pocket dimension she controls. Originally, within this world, her powers were amplified to create a vast city of gold and control several mummies. But after being transformed into a Legion Undead, her true power to summon other beings was released. So within her dungeon, she can summon the armies of the 7th Legion directly into her world to fight against Simon's enemies.
* Gehiem: Can create Hersheva's golden metropolis outside of the Golden World which can be used to transport anything over vast distances.

Gyros: One of simon's ancient undead. orignally an undead of 7th legion. lives in North Gods body.

### Divinity

Simon is a unique individual. Even though there have been taboo marriages between Priests and Necromancers in the past, there are no records of a being like Simon being born among them. Someone who can use both the Necromancers Jet-Black and a Priests Divinity. After being baptized by Flema's Flames of Purification, Simon's body mutates and is able to produce Divinity like a priest. But unlike typical priests who use their faith in the Goddess, Simon uses his faith in himself to produce Divinity.

Lessons from his mother, Rete, and Professor Farahann, have taught Simon most of the basics of Holy Magic. Making capable of passing as an average priest in the Holy Federation without issue. Due to his habits as a Necromancer, Simon pursues efficiency when using magic, which does interfere with the faith based portions of White Magic. In combat, he can use basic blessings, healing, and guarding magic. As well as the mid-level exorcism spell. Simon also created an imitation of Rete's high-level Escrime spell. Although no one explicitly taught him Combat Light Magic, Simon has been able to use Combat Dark Magic skills with Divinity instead.

In a different world, Simon thought that if he went to Efnel instead of Kizen, he would major in the Study of Divine Beasts. An unpopular subject due to it's high cost and high risk nature. When he got the chance, Simon acquired the bear Divine Beast Akalion and the cat Divine Beasts White and Black. All three chose Simon as their one and only owner making them almost completely loyal to him. By infusing his divinity with Akalion, he grows from the size of a teddy bear into a full sized bear and even has the ability to fly. White and Black have the extremely rare power of 'Objectification' which transforms Divine Beasts into weapons or items. At first, they could only transform into a chariot by fusing together. But while learning at Efnel, Simon taught them to transform into Chakrams as well.

Essence of the Saint: For reasons unknown, Simon, a man and Legion Commander, is capable of absorbing the Essence of the Saint and using their power. He then releases this essences afterwards and only possesses a lingering amount of essence in the form of a 'Throne' occupying a white space within him. With every essence Simon obtains, his Divinity increases in quantity and power.

* Essence of Purification: Taken from Sasha after she becomes a fallen Saintess at the hands of her Godfather. Creates a Throne of White Flame.
* Essence of Harvest: Taken from Sasha after Ever Kyle was temporarily killed. Somehow, Simon is able to imitate the Saintess's power through the use of Chaos and can grow Chaos Wheat that absorbs mana. Creates a Throne of Wheat.
* Essence of Iron: Absorbed from the remains of a mysterious Saintess that Simon used to create his Corrupted Death Knight. Creates a Throne of Roses.
* Essence of Transformation: When Lisa awakened as a true Saintess, Simon came in contact with her and somehow absorbed a portion of her Saintess Essence. Creates a Throne of Sculpted Body Parts.

### Original

Chaos Magic: A collision of Jet-Black, Divinity, and Simon's blood that creates a unique magic type. Has similar properties to the Spirit used in Necromancy.

* Chaos Spear: A Chaos version of the Necromancy spell Soul Spear that uses Chaos instead of Spirit. It's attack power, speed, mental effect, and trajectory path are all random. Making it useful to confuse opponents. But can easily scatter and hit multiple targets.
* Chaos Reaper: A Necromancy Spell to summon a 'Reaper' but instead of spirit, Simon uses Chaos to power it. The reaper's scythe has the power of chaos within it but once the chaos fueling it drains to a certain point, the Reaper will go berserk attacking everyone. Even Simon. Before it's power is depleted, it's final spell is to fire hundreds of Chaos Spears in all direction.
* Chaos Dullahan: A special summon created through 'Chaos'. Using the body of a Guardian monster and the skull of Manus, Simon can release a tremendous amount of power through this summon. After merging it with the power of the Saint of Harvest, it's Jet-Black engine becomes so powerful that it sucks in all the mana in the area. Making it impossible for anyone to use magic of any kind. The body was destroyed by Balak at the end of the second year first semester.
* Dragon Armor: By infusing Chaos into the Drake Skeleton Armor, it can create mana absorbing barriers that can be used both offensively and defensively.

Vortex Magic: A fusion of Jet-Black and Divinity made from the coexistence of the two powers. When they coexist, space and time become distorted and everything is absorbed into it.

Void: The perfect fusion of Jet-Black and Divinity. When order is taught to chaos, a miracle is born that transcends everything in the world. With it, Simon defeated Silage, a 600 year old monster and his future self easily used this power to cripple the Ivory Tower Master, an overlord of the continent.

* Simon himself cannot use this power freely. He only managed it once because he used the Compellonia Curse and borrowed the power of the 'Highest Being' to use it. But has been unable to do so since.
* During the Tower of Time incident, a version of Simon from approximately 10 years into the future was able to use Void at will.
* "Chaos is just the first step to Void. Once Order is taught to Chaos, Once Jet-Black and Divinity can purely embrace, accept, and fuse with each other without impurities. Then a Miracle is born"
