Black Forest

*There was once a little boy named Robert. He was once a bullied disabled kid who would often be picked on for his intelligence. The Counselors had failed to check in on poor little Robert, as one day he had drowned at Black Lake. One night, thunder had struck on Robert, resurrecting the poor boy into an adult-mutated monster. He was horribly disfigured to where he wears his trademark mask. Legend says that if one were to step on the grounds of the now abounded Black Lake...they will never return alive. Robert Crosby had died....but what awakened in him....was The **Black Forest**.*

Malus Veneris (Series)

**Black Forest** (黒い森, *kuroi mori*?), also known by his real name **Robert Crosby** (ロバート・クロスビー, *robertochcrosby*?) is the titular main antagonist of the *Malus Veneris* series.

He is a deformed, monstrous serial killer who is known for wearing his trademark mask to cover his deformities and intimidate his enemies and killing those who dare step foot in his hunting grounds, Black Lake out of vengeance for his bullies and counselors whom they failed to even save before his death to drowning.

He is also as well known for wielding a Giant knife-like machete that is able to slash through anything.

## Personality

As Black Forest may be a rage monster, hell-bent on killing anyone who dares trespass on Black Lake, he does however have a personality being that of a child along with being very wrathful. Black Forest is known to never speak, but instead heavy breathe, similar to one gasping for air after being underwater for a very long time. He actually did loved his mother dearly as she was the only person to show true love to his childhood. After her death, Robert was left off to fend on his own, relying on the camp counselors to watch over him by his mother's request. He even constructed a crude altar in the shack where he lived with his mother's head at the center which he placed his victims at the foot of it.

While Robert has no qualms against killing adults who come in his way or of his past, he is not bad enough to hurt animals. However, if a teenager comes across him in his territory, he doesn't kill them, instead he can pull off his mask to scare off his victims, each time he does so he succeeds. Another qualm that Robert has is that he would not kill a child, out of sympathy for the plight of children generated by his own death as a child.

## Attributes

### Powers

* **Self-Resurrection**: When Robert is "defeated", he is kept in a hibernating state and only outside forces such as the supernatural or human forces telepathically and accidentally reviving him from his watery prison is capable of returning Robert to life.
* **Superhuman Strength**: Robert has been shown to have enhanced strength capable of impaling victims with ease and breaking a window with a single shot and his fist was barely formed. He's also capable of crushing someone's head while lifting them and later throwing them through a window.

* **High-Pain Tolerance**: Robert as a human has felt pain the same as humans but had shown an exceptional amount of tolerance for it. He still shows human reactions when being stabbed and slashed. He withstood fatal injuries that would kill or cripple a normal person under normal circumstances such as being hanged, an axe to the head and being impaled through the head. As an undead, Robert no longer responds to pain and can generally function in situations where pain would disable a normal human.

* **Stealth (Superhuman Speed/Stalking)**: Robert can seemingly appear near his victims through means of walking; he can easily slip in and out of areas undetected. He can also swim at incredible speeds, completely unrestricted by water resistance.

* **Immortality**: After becoming a revenant zombie, Robert has become functionally immortal, which means he does not age and physical injuries or illness that would have killed a normal human would eventually heal and won't truly affect him.
	+ **Regeneration**: Robert after becoming a Revenant Zombie now possesses a unique ability to regenerate any lost and damaged tissue at an accelerated rate. As a result, he can sustain bullet and knife wounds and be essentially unaffected by them. This ability allows him to recover from any fatal injuries that are physically caused him. So in the logical sense, he can only be incapacitated by being chained to the bottom of Black Lake but even still he will be almost and always be restored to "perfect" health, his constantly changing state of deformity can be attributed to his constant regeneration. This regeneration, however, isn't perfect as Robert still possesses an undead, desiccated appearance of exposed bones and deteriorating tissue.

* **Superhuman Durability**: As an undead Robert now has beyond superhuman durability able to endure and tank virtually anything thrown at him from taking revolver shots and even surviving a propeller to the face.

### Abilities

* **Enhanced Machetesmanship**: Robert is capable of wielding his Machete in many different ways.
* **Intelligence**
* **Intimidation/Overwhelming**

### Weaknesses

Robert's resurrection does not allow him to rapidly recover from extreme trauma. He can be incapacitated by trapping him in the waters of Black Lake.
