Lord Mortis

**Lord Mortis** is an alternate version of X created by SwappyBlue, appearing in his canonica game, Sonic II Special, which centers around being a "mirrored reality" to Sonic PC Port. He is Bandado's archenemy.

## Overview

Lord Mortis is a version of X in an alternate timeline of Sonic.exe. This one however, is different, coming a different time and place in which his realm and home is no longer under his complete control.

Lord Mortis is shown to be a rather level-headed and courteous individual if you were to be taken into account of his current solution, and wishing nothing more to help an "old friend out." His slight mild-mannerism to the souls he guides, as well as the player, will almost make you forget that he was, in fact, once the X, but an X who has long matured and gain experience from his mistakes in past.

However, it is understandably okay to be wry, as Lord Mortis' alliance, he has a sadistic sense of humor to troll or mess with the souls he is currently aiding, or even not be a reliable narrator when needed the most, as he gets a kick for laughing at your possible misfortunate.

Rest assured, he seems to be interested in not only helping out a friend but also an ally as well. Just as long you heed his advices and warnings, he is your only friend you got in this world, even if his motives, at this current moment, are dubious at best.

## Appearance

Lord Mortis looks quite similar to his 2011 counterpart with a few drastic changes. His fur is a deep dark shade of blue, with harsh black shading engulfing both bottom of his torso, neck, and quills. His appearance to be more disheveled, his skin desaturated into being completely greyed out, as well his side quills are withered like a dead plant.

One of Mortis' key characteristics is poiniter ears, usage of eerie lime green as opposed to red eyes, and an absence of his ironic 'X' scar on his chest, being replaced by a more 'M'-shaped scar on his forehead. His pupils are more bigger, and lacks any teeth, only his damaged gums are presented.

## Biography

In Mortis' younger days, he used to be X, however a fateful encounter with Bandado, during hide and seek caused him to lose his power and control over his realm due to his arrogance. Years of being screwed over, defeated, and humiliated by Bandado caused him to learn maturity and humility, leaning him towards redemption. Nowadays, he plays an eternal game of cat and mouse with Bandado, to guide the souls that were captured to fight back. He's watching over, and aiding a human soul named "Tom," who uses a Sonic vessel.

His body was made by his former vessel being burnt by Bandado, being greatly scarred, and not properly regenerated. This resulted in his body looking hollow and empty, his body constantly going through rigor mortis, hence the name, "Lord Mortis". Mortis also has used the name to empower himself, and to mock Bandado.

## Trivia

* His eyes and teeth are neon green, because they're completely gone. He has only has grossly green gums.
* Lord Mortis has much blacker and harsher shading compared to his original counterpart, likely the result of his vessel being heavily damaged by Bandado.
* Mortis appeared to have a similar concept to NiX, another exe created by the same creator. The differences that a lot of mirror universe concept was provoked by Bandado, while NiX/Anti-X, are all pre-destined, as it implied that NiX was never evil to begin with, while Mortis's "change of heart" is not entirely clear.
