Description Heyyy so this is the new, complete Swarm! : D I am finally satisfied with her in every way possible.

She's got her original blues from the first version, the more natural hair from that Papilio Tenebrarum experiment, plus some new features that helped round out her weirdness. Oh, and new, logical wings! : D


Name: Swarm
Nickname: The Black Butterfly, TBB
Gender: Female
Age: Unknown
Origin: Created by Beelzebub
Language: None
Height: 5'4"
Body Structure: Comprised of a multitude of tiny black butterflies, Swarm is actually a woman possessed. The butterflies take over a human and feed off the host Soul, migrating from body to body whenever the human is dead. The butterflies can live without a body, but they simply don't feel like it. They're mean that way.
Allies: Obizuth
Enemies: Humans
Career: Assassin and bodyguard to Beelzebub
Weapon: Four Balisongs
Powers: Posession, Killing things dead
Weakness: Easily injured by fire
Temperament: Nasty
Halo: Massive black demon halo. Butterflies pour from it to her body constantly.

HAVE SOME STATS (this is mostly for me to keep track of her too lol)


Main Features

Outer Anatomy

Large butterfly wings ranging in size and pattern
- Held tightly against her back while walking, held straight and out behind when sitting, high and wide when standing, running and attacking

Extra pair of arms just below the original pair
- Attached to the primary arms at the base of the shoulders
- Elongated shoulder blades
- Skin web connecting both pairs of arms

Hole at the base of her skull, above the neck
- Bullet wound
- Blue blood pours from the hole, creating the distinct markings
- Hole is always created by Obizuth, she chooses the next host for the Swarm to infest in this manner

Inner Anatomy

- Host Soul is extracted and infested with eggs and caterpillars the moment the Swarm is in the carcass
- The body's tissues and organs serve as home for the butterflies, until advanced deterioration occurs in the muscles from overuse, in which case everything is devoured to the marrow.
- Extra limbs such as the second pair of arms, antennae and wings are grown from the body and are an indication of 'age'. The longer they are, the younger the host at time of posession. Are not replaced or shed but are eaten by the Swarm before it infests the next host.

Butterflies
- The smallest (microscopic) butterflies serve as the blood pumping in the Host's veins and are constantly being replenished. These are a bright blue in colour when visible to the naked eye, appear white on the microscopic level.
- Larger (1 mm) butterflies infest the head, neck, back, shoulders, lower forearms, abdomen to thighs and lower legs past the calf, serving as primary locomotion. These are black in appearance and rarely move about in the body once they set. Their wings are stunted, but they boast a large thorax and long legs. Replenished every few days via the halo.
- Larger (1 mm) butterflies also infest the head, followed by the chest and joints. These serve as secondary locomotion and speech. They move about a little bit, and are tan in colour. Their wings are stunted, but they have very long legs and boast a very large thorax. Replenished every few days.
- Larger (2 mm) butterflies are scattered throughout the body and act as coordinators. They are the Swarm's eyes and senses. They send signals to the locomotive butterflies via electric waves and webs. Small bruises are indicative of their location on the body. They have the largest wings, completely black but for the large white 'eyes'

Purpose

- The Swarm's role in Beelzebub's guard is to restrain the humans' progress and knowledge of Hell and its' inhabitants.
- Uses the four balisongs mainly for silencing, blinding and deafening her targets, carving out the tongue, eyes and ears. She does not enjoy a prolonged fight, but does take pleasure in many kills in quick succession.
- Is also often used as a scare tactic, made to appear in large crowds and scatter the humans, allowing Obizuth to pick out her targets.


there is more but it is spoilery soooo this is it for you guys <3
