Six

“*Humans can become monsters but monsters cannot become human. This is the basic nature of the world. He’s as hopeless as you or I. We cannot change. We cannot learn. We cannot love. The only love we are capable of now is love of the Lord. We can still obey His law. But you refuse. And may you be damned to the lowest ring of hell for all of your sins, for choosing both life and death without understanding the fragile, divine balance between, the balance Providence decreed long ago*.”

N/A

Six, otherwise known as
Number Six, is a Haint at the Mausoleum.

## Biography

Six was an orphan when he
was a child. He lived in an orphanage and would attend church, where he met
Father Robert.

One day, Six left with
Father Robert and had to retreat to his cabin due to a sudden hurricane. Six
was raped by Father Robert in the cabin until the cabin collapsed upon him and
killed him.

## Appearance

Six is a tall man with grey
eyes and spiky black hair with white streaks in some spots. Roman describes Six
as appearing in his late twenties.

Six’s hair becomes white
later on in Shock Values.

## Personality

Six is a serious and
religious man. He is Christian and prays often. He is stoic and usually quiet
in meetings. He usually speaks when God or religion is mention in some way. Six
has an opinion on mostly every topic.

Six usually argues with Two
about religion and uses those arguments to defend his beliefs and define
himself as well as attain a true understanding of them.

Six does not believe that
anything in the world is clean or worthy of his dedication, so he turns towards
God. He claims that hurting people and causing destruction is his duty to God. Deep within, Six knows that
God is a concept instead of an omnipotent being, thus he knows that he is the
only one that decides what God “wants.” However, Six would never consciously
acknowledge this.

Upon discovering his Pulse,
Six believed that it was gifted upon him by God as a second chance and to act
an intermediary.

Six is highly reticent and does not kill people unless ordered to.

## Pulse

Six’s primary and original
Pulse can expand like a shield and trap both humans and Revenants aboveground,
giving the sensation that they are underground. Anything inside that trap can
be crushed. Setting up the Pulse causes the affected area to glow
purple, and using its crushing ability produces a flash of violet light. Six’s Pulse, when applied to a body, causes it to collapse inward, as shown
with Seven and Father Robert. The crushing ability can create an
intense amount of pressure and can crush bone into powder.

 Six’s secondary Pulse takes
the appearance of violet electricity. Six gained this Pulse through the Shelley
Treatment. Six can coat any part of his body with purple
electricity. Six can also throw out his Pulse, which takes the form
of a lightning bolt. Being hit by this lightning sends a false
current and jolts the victim.

 Six’s Pulse barrier takes
the appearance of a shield.

## Death

Six was in the cabin owned
by Father Robert when he died. The cabin’s ceiling collapsed due to the
hurricane and killed Six.

## Quotes

* “*In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, I purge thee of thy all-consuming corruption of body, mind, soul, of all the spoils and the taint of this wretched, sinful, filth-ridden world.*”
* (To Seven) “*You should know by now that effort will only get you so far. Effort took humans to the Devil, and the Devil’s power is finite. As the Lord’s servant, I am unlimited, I am an adjudicator of justice, and justice will always prevail, His judgment will not be ignored.*”
* (To Seven) “*Without power, you are nothing. Without privilege, you are nothing. You were born subservient, you were born nothing. Such is misfortune, such is the unfairness of human flesh. The only redemption you could possibly have is love and you refuse the love of God and seek the love of Revenants, who do not know love. You are, without a doubt, the most pathetic life form I have ever come across, and you don’t even have the right to call yourself alive, the greatest and simplest of gifts God bestows. I would feel pity for you, but all I feel is disgust when I look at you. You’re nothing but waste.*”
* (To Ten) “*As for you. Well, at least the only sin you’re guilty of is existing. One can be forgiven for such a thing if one repents. But you won’t, will you? Sinners who don’t repent are arguably the worst. But at least I can see that you have accepted that you cannot love, and any delusions you suffered because of this woman have been cast aside as of right now. I await our engagement with great anticipation. And maybe there’s room in that empty black heart of yours for a believer yet.*”
* (To Ten) “*Unconsciously, you seek God’s embrace but reject it because you do not recognize it. Sadly, but regrettably that is the way of Man, the downfall of Man, assuming he knows all but failing to recognize that which is before him. I was given this power as a child to punish the wicked. But first, I had to suffer the punishment of the wicked, the torment of what they would have to go through, oh yes, yes, God wanted His punishers to know the punishment they would inflict, that is His fairness, so He chose me, He chose me, you see, He wanted me to know what it would feel like and for me to be purified by it too. I will bring you back to light. And then I will save Roman Sheer, and then…*”
* (To Ten) “*Only God could’ve saved her. Only He would have guaranteed her some happiness after death. But she forsook him and you will allow your soul to wither away to nothing in her name, in the name of false love. I see you’re still healing. The fact that you’re able to move at all attests to that. But how slowly! Marco, is he angry at you? Is he upset? Does he believe he loves you too? Why isn’t he trying to help you then? Is he perhaps jealous of Roman? Rather selfish of someone who loves you to withdraw his help when you most need it. That’s just how it is, I suppose. Human, Revenant love, what a flighty, nasty thing.*”
* (To Two) “*Do you want me to admit it? Do you want me to admit… that I was the one who drove us to this and that you chose to accept it and play along… even though all along…all long, you’ve…that somewhere along the way it stopped being… and I realized that this was all pointless, that you were pointless, that if you were pointless, then everything was, that God-that God doesn’t-*”
* (To Two) “*I could’ve been…more like you. We didn’t have to be this way, I chose this, I made it this way and you went along and you understood, even it was just subconsciously. That’s why you’ve been so-that’s why…oh my Lord, please forgive me for everything, please-*”
