STATUS Alive Cult (カルト, Karuto?) is a character that appears in Dear My Living Dead. He is a young necromancer tasked with defeating the living dead that swarmed towns and wreck havoc. He is often seen with Lilia, another young necromancer whose seal was fading, and is under the mentorship of Claid

Appearance Cult is a young boy with tall and lean stature. He has light, short hair and blue eyes, and his casual outfit is of a striped shirt with short cuffs and black hems, and a white long-sleeved shirt underneath. He also wears long, black baggy pants, ankle-high socks, and black shoes. His seal can summon a revolver used to kill the living dead.

Personality He is seen to be very protective of Lilia, even going far as to mercilessly killing any living dead that comes near her and ultimately warping her original form in the end. He holds a nonchalant and dismissive demeanor when it comes to other matters, especially when watching the church punish those who don't follow its rules.

Although he claims he doesn't necessarily hate the living dead, he takes great responsibility in protecting the civilians and killing the living dead upon sight.

Abilities Amplification The seal on his hand allows him to utilize some of his power to shoot the living dead using a revolver.

Contract By forming a circle and inscribing his name around a potential familiar, Cult decided to use it on Lilia after he killed her, whose corpse eventually turned into one of the living dead and cause her to lose her memories.

Other characters

The Living Dead (ビングデッ, Ribingu Deddo) is a species of animated corpses that appear in Dear My Living Dead. They serve as the main enemies of the Necromancers.

Appearance The appearance of the Living Dead varies, but they typically are tall, enlongated monsters with plantlike features on various parts of their bodies. Many of them also exhibit tall and sharp teeth, spines around their bodies, and multiple head or head-like protusions.

Personality As they are animated corpses formed by a Mother, the Living Dead do not have any personalities other than desiring to destroy whole towns and kill anyone they encounter.

Abilities Reanimation The Living Dead are corpses that are reanimated from the dead by the actions of Mothers. As such, they are in a literal sense, "living dead".

Lilia (リリア, Riria?), alternatively Lili (リリ, Riri?), is a character that appears in Dear My Living Dead. She is a female necromancer often associated with Cult, and takes great dedication to putting others first and knowing what's right or wrong. Just like Cult, she is under the mentorship of Claid. Towards the end of the one-shot, after she saves Cult from the Mother, he kills her and makes a contract with her, becoming a Living Dead bound to Cult via the Necromancer's Contract. Appearance She is a young girl whose seal had been fading, resulting in her having to go back to her family when she could no longer stay. She possesses bright, ruby eyes and pale pink hair styled into curly twin-tails. She also wore a black skirt, along with several ribbons sewed on her collar and waist. On her head was a small cap. She wore ankle-high boots.

Living Dead After having been contracted to Cult, her body morphed into that of a living dead. A wooden thorn protruded through where her left eye used to be, in addition to small flowers and plants growing on her hair. Her right hand and fingers morphed into wood, but were still usable as hand. Her left leg turned into wood as well, and just like her hand, it still functions as leg.

Necromancer She fought Living Dead as a necromancer, but her seal that allows to use her that power started to fade. Necromancers with their seals fading are supposed to go back to their family. Cult realizes this through Lilia telling him 'her seal is fading' and he kills Lilia with his revolver to make a contract. Afterwards he alters Lilia's memory in order to make her believe that she died in a fight.

Personality Lilia has a very positive personality, with her leaping head-first into battle and fighting alongside Cult. However, at the sight of seeing horrific happen when the church punished a family who went against their rules, she adamantly persuades Cult into escaping with her. The church notes her having a rebellious attitude when it came to bringing Cult when attempting her escapades, and she was perceived to be naïve.

Abilities Amplification The seal on her hand allows her to summon a dark axe used to fight against the living dead.

Unfortunately, her seal is temporary, and when it starts to fade, her dark axe will start to dissipate as well, putting her in great and mortal danger.
