The Black Warrior (SCP 076 — When Day Brakes)

PERSONALITY & STORY

SCP-076-2 was originally a caring, honorable, and selfless man who protected his people and land from outside threats and deeply loved his mother. However, after 076-2 was murdered by his own dear brother, he changed profoundly when he returned to life, becoming somewhat cold and asocial. This condition was worsened after 076-2 was corrupted by the Daevites and the Scarlet King, degenerating into a vengeful, bloodthirsty monster serving the evil god. Thankfully, 076-2's inner good was still there and he was able to overcome his corruption and used his reality-restructuring powers to deny the Scarlet King his victory.

076-2 however, was not returned to his former self, and still harbored hatred towards his brother for killing him. 076-2's bloodlust overwhelmed him and killed any person he came across for his own enjoyment. Although greatly enjoying the act of killing, he took no pleasure in causing pain, and he felt no love, attraction to any individual, or interest in romantic subjects which were all alien to him. Despite this, he has seemingly made friendships with several Foundation personnel such as Adrian Andrews, and fellow SCPs such as SCP-105 and SCP-507, but it was apparent that these friendships meant nothing to him as he betrayed them and resumed his usual killing spree. However, he apparently has formed some sort of attachment to 105 as he mentioned her after the Foundation dissolved in a future timeline, and reacted in anger when Li'l Lollipop mentioned her friend with the same name Iris. Although he had agreed to work as a member of the MTF, he simply joined just to seek thrill and not to help. In SCP-8787, 076-2 was shown that deep down he didn't wish to harm anyone, instead wishing for a simpler life and to have a close relationship with someone. SCP-8787 briefly granted him that, but when he realized it was fake he decided to leave that life behind, becoming depressed for a time.

According to Researcher Sebastian Hardin, the main reason why SCP-076-2 is a murderous psychopath is that he is actually a young mentally underdeveloped teenager who didn't pass much time in the outside world due to being locked inside of 076-1 most of the time. 076-2 is always angry because no one was able to beat him, similar to an edgelord, and Hardin believed that if 076-2 underwent psychotherapy sessions then they could help him develop as a person and take away his bloodlust. Herman Fuller believed that 076-2 after seeing that he was unable to get his revenge on his brother due to the latter's properties he went mad and decided to kill everyone else instead. In an alternate future in which the entity known as UBU forced immortality on all humanity so it could torture them for eternity while destroying their world, 076-2 became depressed as he was unable to kill, torture, and resolve conflicts anymore.

There are tales in which 076-2 returns to his former self and is somewhat forgiven for his actions, redeeming himself and becoming a good man once again. One of which, is When Day Breaks.

When the sun 'broke', everything changed. Upon contact with visible light produced by the sun, living organisms liquefy at the point of contact, with the effect spreading until the entire organism is converted. Visually, this is reminiscent of melting wax. The time this takes is largely dependent on the level of exposure and size of the organism. Despite this restructuring, at no point do living organisms perish.

Upon completion, these organisms take on a gelatinous consistency. Motile organisms will attempt to orient themselves in a fashion reminiscent of their previous form, to varying degrees of success.

Flora typically remains physically inert, yet are still capable of photosynthesis, and still produce oxygen. Organisms capable of flight lose the capability to do so. Fauna remains sentient, and display behavior that parallels their non-anomalous counterparts when not absorbed into a collective instance. Humans retain a modicum of sapience and memory.

Biological anomalies exposed to SCP-001 are affected in the same manner. It seems that exposure nullifies any previously expressed anomalous characteristics. Most instances have congregated into such collectives, which seem to possess no maximum volume.

The SCP facility he was in had many dead, and Able planned his way out. He used his pocket dimension to gather as many weapons as possible, and began to create a blast furnace with the equipment left. He fashioned himself a black armour and massive sword, using the bodies of the deceased researchers as test subjects for the armour's protection against the light.

Once he perfected it, he left the Foundation site, and wondered the world, looking for strong opponents to fight, including the likes of SCP-682. As well as this, he slays those who do harm to others, acting as the last remaining bit of justice in this broken world for his benefit, such as quelling his bloodlust. To him, humans are but ants, not worth his time to fight outside of those few who go out of their way to be malevolent, almost in a form of pity; due to this, the Black Warriors indirectly protects them.

POWERS & ABILITIES

SCP-076-2 as Hevel was a skilled warrior and tactician wielding the Tumbling blade which he used to protect his people. He was also an expert combatant having knowledge of various forms of martial arts. After he was corrupted by the black magic of the Daevites and the Scarlet King, becoming Ab-Leshal, he was transformed into some sort of a demigod, having achieved the power to summon bladed weaponry similar to his blade from the Old Gods's dimension of the Darkness Below, and more superior strength, speed, stamina, and durability. He also gained some sort of immortality as he could be resurrected through SCP-076-1, and was not affected by an age-accelerating anomaly, and he proved to be resistant to mind manipulation as he was not affected by SCP-668. With his newfound powers Ab-Leshal was capable of fracturing Mekhane, banishing Nahash, fighting alongside the King's Leviathans, defeating Moloch, and was not affected by his brother's curse as he was able to rip his limbs from his body. He was also able to fight SCP-682 for an extended period of time, both delivering each other a great amount of damage leaving Hevel to use his own intestines as weapons against the monster. A Foundation doctor once theorized that similar to 682, 076-2 is actually a projection or manifestation of a higher power which existed outside of reality and cannot be comprehended by normal minds.

However, after defecting the Scarlet King's forces he lost some of his black powers, but through the All-Mighty gained access to the Thorn, a weapon made out of the same material as his weapons, and the Flood both of which granted Hevel massive energy and reality manipulation powers. With these new powers, Hevel was able to stop the Scarlet King by destroying the entirety of the universe and rebuilding it from scratch. In the new universe, Hevel lost access to the Thorn and the Flood and was left with SCP-076-1, his normal weaponry, and the Daevite magic. He once again became a mindless killing machine, not taking into consideration anything and only focusing on killing which allowed his targets to sometimes outsmart him. Despite this, when he is not in his berserker mode SCP-076-2 shows great intellect, being a fast learner and capable of training others. As the Foundation kept eliminating him every time he became active, it was established that SCP-076-2 aside from possessing superhuman speed and strength, possessed also average resistance to damage as he was able to survive multiple direct shots to the head before dying and superior lung capacity to normal humans as he had managed to survive an hour without oxygen before asphyxiating. Dr. Kondraki was able to defeat 076-2 in a fencing match, while forming the rules. When 076-2 confronted SCP-4606, 4606 was able to traumatize 076-2 thanks to his fear-based powers leaving 076-2 to return to 076-1. 076-2 was also utterly massacred by Li’l Lollipop, and Captain De Luca, and in the realities of SCP-5000 and Timeline I-592, it is mentioned that despite his power he was no match for Prof. Crow's Olympia and the Knight of Flowers who easily defeated him.
