Necropolix is an Osmosian and a protagonist in the series 40: The Last Splixson. He is the son of Demonstar, the grandson of Arcmaster, and the cousin of Azeroth and Inbenton. Alongside Fred, he receives more character development after being introduced than a number of other characters.
History[]
When Necropolix first appeared in "Invasion of Galvan, Part 2: The Invasion", he quickly became one of Fred's most notable enemies. He was once a ruthless, cold-blooded warrior and outright killer, but later abandons his role as Ruler of The Osmosian Empire, instead choosing to fight alongside Fred and his team, after learning the truth behind the Splixson Genocide.
Necropolix was seemingly killed by Mick during the explosion of the Flagship but manages to survive and crash-lands on Khoros where he is rescued by a beautiful Anodite. The two form a team and rescue a group of Osmosians from a torture camp and teleport to Hathor. There, he meets Fred and reveals to him that another Splixson had attempted to assassinate him.
On route to Osmos V to read an autobiographical record of Arcmaster's life and uncover the truth, they are captured by mercenaries hired by Azeroth and Inbenton.
Necropolix is tortured while in captivity, before being rescued by The Warriors of Apollo and taken to safety on Planet Supmylo.
Personality[]
Necropolix is someone who is not good with words and can be quite direct. This is due to him not having many friends. As such, he can come off as a rude person to others, such as Jenevile. After encountering Mick and barely surviving the explosion, Necropolix attempts to repair his relationship with Fred, his former enemy. This shows he is now attempting to make up for his past mistake of attacking him, showing a sense of maturity.
Abilities[]
Several of his powers are the result of an unexplained mutation:
- Shapeshifting his arms into Talpaedan Jackhammer Arms as in Invasion of Galvan, Part 2: The Invasion.
- Amperi Electrokinesis (Invasion of Galvan, Part 2: The Invasion)
- Exoskeleton Armor (Invasion of Galvan, Part 2: The Invasion)
- Energy Blasts (Finger Beam, Eye Lasers...) (Invasion of Galvan, Part 2: The Invasion)
- Wind Blasts (Beginning of the End)
Although he has not shown them yet, he possesses all of Van Helsing's abilities after absorbing his abilities and life force.
He is also shown to be stronger than an average Osmosian. He is also capable of resisting impacts and blunt force trauma that would severely injure and kill a normal being (On Broken Wings).
