Just thought of another character.

Well, it isn't entirely original, it is basically SCP049 (Plague Doctor) fitted for Starmaninja. I don't often get original ideas a ahahaha.. Though I have been thinking about it for a bit and thought it might be cool. I might draw a "converted" plague doctor eventually.. :/

Plague doctor is a hooded individual with a Tazya shaped mask of seemingly typical male starmaninjian height (6 feet I would say) and build. Besides the mask, he wears a black robe, gloves, black pants and black boots. It is likely that none have seen what is under his attire, though even if they have, they might say that there is nothing there.

When he touches any individual with his hand (unless goddess or otherwise incapable of death), the individual blacks out instantly. If the individual was targeted, he will take a bag filled with surgical tools out of his robe and perform some surgical operation on the body.

He will usually try to knock anyone in the nearby vicinity out with his palm or at least drive them away, perhaps to avoid interruption. If the individual clearly shows no intention to interrupt him, he will not attempt to knock the individual out. Those who have blacked out but not operated on will wake up after 1 hour.

The surgery lasts for about 30 minutes where he cuts the body up, injects some substances into it among other things and closes it back up. The individual dies in the sense that he/she wakes up in the nearest safe zone (like through any other death), but the body remains where the doctor performed his surgery.

The body reanimates immediately, and wanders mindlessly until it comes across another individual, which it will attack (Manans or Starmaninjians, doesn't react to Shadows and the Plague Doctor). To be fair, it will not notice any individuals who have been knocked out or were present during its creation for 2 hours. This body has the same appearance and inherits all the abilities it had when it was alive. The body will not be able to enter safe zones. The body will disappear when killed, similar to any other starmaninjian death.

-- There are a few criteria to who the doctor pursues. 1. An individual above 100 years old who has not been "cured" by the doctor before.

2. An individual who has died before. Those who have not been "cured" before might be pursued by him if they had died once. Once the individual has been "cured", the doctor will pursue them again after they have died 5 more times. Then after 10 deaths prior the second operation. Then 25. Then 50. Then 100.

The counter doesn't increase. No matter how many times an individual has been cured by the doctor, he will still be pursued if he dies another 100 times. (Careless individual, hahaha.) -

The doctor does not emit any sign of malice. A mind reader would find out that he truly believes that he is treating individuals of a sickness. Outside of his operations and knocking nearby individuals who may interrupt him, the doctor does not harm anyone for any reason, even if he were to be attacked.

If he were to be seemingly blown away by a powerful elemental attack, he will simply reappear in a location away from the aggressor. If he were to be held captive, he would teleport away the moment the aggressor loses sight of him. If he were to be pursuing an individual while attacked by an aggressor, instead of simply teleporting away at the aforementioned situations, he would teleport to the target, knock him/her out, and teleport to an area out of reach of the attacker.. bringing the target with him.

If the doctor is contained and proper surveillance has been arranged (where individuals take turns to watch over him, and he is never out of anyone's sight), he will remain docile for the most part. One would say he simply mopes around in his cage. He will however behave aggressively (rattling bars, banging on doors) if there is a target within sight, or if he was confined while he was pursuing a target. It is unlikely he will shout or swear in this state, so it would not be unusual for captors to think he is unable to speak. However, if he is captive while in pursuit of a target, he will teleport out of captivity after 30 days.

The doctor can traverse through safe zones, but he will not be able to perform his operations there, but he can still knock individuals out with his palm (they wake up after 15 minutes instead of an hour). If there is a target in a safe zone, he may attempt to knock the target out before carrying him outside the safe zone via teleportation if out of sight, or by simply walking. As long as his palm is in contact with the individual, the individual will stay unconscious.

If there are no targets nearby, he will move to an area with targets via door teleportation. The doctor can travel between planets, via doors. He is able to open any door, walk through it, and out into a different planet. If there are no suitable targets in a planet, he will stay docile for up to a month before moving to another planet with suitable targets, unless one shows up in the current planet. If there are no suitable targets whatsoever, the doctor will simply reside in a fixed area quietly, usually a place with plenty of medical texts.

He may converse with another individual if he has encountered the individual regularly without the need to operate him (meaning the individual does not meet the requirements to be "cured".), especially if the individual is a healer or a medical practitioner. However, he will not converse if the individual has expressed clear disapproval of his ways. He may also try to talk to targets in a calming way if they resist his advances. Ex: "Please do not be afraid. I am here to cure you." "I am the cure. It will all be better soon, there is no need to resist." "It is of utmost importance that the plague is treated. My cure is most effective, I assure you."

Example of dialogue for repeated targets (he has done surgery on them before and pursues them again as they have fulfilled certain conditions): "Greetings, -name-. I see you have contracted the plague yet again." "Ah, a familiar face." "You are quite unfortunate, to suffer the plague yet again."

Though all things considered, speech is very rare.

The doctor is mostly impervious to damage. He reacts to being physically assaulted (flinching, falling down), but does not feel pain, and will always get up again. He has the ability to teleport when out of sight of his target, mostly when the target is running from him, or tries to blow him away with a powerful elemental attack. Even if it appears that he has been destroyed completely, he will reappear almost instantly to pursue his target. (Example, a powerful fire user might blow him up, and the explosion will may be too bright to allow the user to see the point where the doctor was, meaning the user technically loses sight of him. Then the doctor may appear behind them.)

The plague doctor's soul (if he has one) has never appeared in Soula's realm. One could guess that he is technically incapable of dying, or that he rematerialises on his own without crossing through the realm, or that he could be a "limb" of a larger unknown entity (like how shadows are actually of one mind and controlled by one individual).

(The bag is of unknown origin, those who can see through clothes or something will note that there never was a bag inside)

This is what his voice sounds like (the robotic like echoing one) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9euv7QxJpYM

So what do you think? It pushes some Starmaninjian rules, maybe, do let me know if something is unacceptable >,<
