Rose Tyrias "Shadow"

"You and your world have posed a problem to me for far, far too long. So now, my plan has changed. Rather than taking over, I'm burning it to the ground."

Background
Born into the royal family of Draconic Dimension, a world close to the UnityHaven timeline, Rose was a very frail child. Nearly incapable of his family's traditional magic, he was kept from the public and cared for by his sister for a year, before developing a fatal illness. Before his death, his parents allowed a specialist, known for miracles, to use an experimental treatment in an attempt to grant him eternal life. Despite the attempts made, Rose soon succumbed to his sickness and passed away. Mere days after his death, he returned to life, now discovering the treatment the specialist had used. His life had been bound to a specific rare breed of magical flower, known as the Revia Bloom. While he was still able to die, he would return to life for as long as the flower continued to live. The revival came at a cost, however, as his disease had altered in the presence of the flower's magic. Now, the disease altered his thoughts and actions, while also enabling him to use the magic he was incapable of in his first life. Deceived by the effects of the Revia Bloom, he eventually came to believe his parents and sister were plotting to kill him again. Enabled by his newly found magical ability, he killed his sister and parents, ascending to the draconic throne and taking the name of Shadow. Many years later, he began a conquest of worlds nearby to the Draconic Dimension, which included the UnityHaven timeline. After shortly terrorizing the timeline, he was killed for the second time by champions of the timeline. After his death, he disappeared for a time from both UnityHaven and the draconic dimension, supposedly wandering from world to world, driven by the Revia Bloom's influence. A year passed, during which Shadow lost his life seven times over in his travels. Eventually, he set his sights back on the UnityHaven timeline. Rather than traveling to the timeline himself, he instead used the upstart villain Typhus to return with a sacrificial ritual. Upon returning he entered a fight with champions of the timeline once again, his powers shown to have been amplified over time as he resumed his true draconic form. During this fight, it was also revealed the affect the Revia had on his mind, his own thoughts caught in the will of the Bloom. He was eventually brought to death by Kuouo Aiche Dee, reviving for his final time in a form closer to his first life. He was killed shortly afterward to assure he would not return. Unable to be brought back by the Revia Bloom, the flower remains dormant at the Soul of the World.

Powers
Control over nature Revival
 * He has been shown to be able to create and control vines made of violent red energy, displayed in his final fight at the Soul of the World
 * He is capable of repelling most forms of magical attacks due to the nature of the Revia's influence on his natural magic
 * Due to the Revia Bloom treatment given to him during his first life, he was able to come back to life more than once, which has now been nullified due to overuse.

Physical Appearance
He has taken a multitude of forms over his various lives, though he traditionally sticks to his birth appearance at different ages. His hair is a dull kind of black, with his eyes being a very sharp and almost unnatural shade of red. His preferred clothing is halfway between royal and casual clothing, a grey and silver shirt and pants being his standard clothing with a crown being added in his final two incarnations. His skin is consistently pale, a combination of effects from his sickness and the Revia. In his true dragon form, he is a large and slim black dragon, with his eyes remaining the same shade of red. He often has his family crest of a flower somewhere on his clothes, often marked in gold on his chest.
