The Abyssal Black Flame Dragon is a constellation and the leader of the <Black Cloud> nebula. He offered to sponsor Kim Dokja in the first Sponsor Selection, but was turned down. Despite being snubbed, he followed Kim Dokja through the scenarios and became a strong supporter of his nebula.
Appearance[]
Dragon[]
When the Abyssal Black Flame Dragon is portrayed as a dragon, he has black scales, and is large. He appears to be similar to a stereotypical dragon, perhaps more 'edgy' than others. He can shrink to much smaller size to conserve energy.
The Abyssal Black Flame Dragon has elegant obsidian-like scales.[3]
“A Status that other ancient Dragons couldn't even hope to match; eyes gleaming like the reddest of rubies; every time its wings, seemingly carved out from the darkness itself, flapped, entrancing black flames blanketed the sky.”[3]
After becoming the Apocalypse Dragon he is described as;“bewitching black flames were dancing on the jet-black, slick exterior that had shed its last layer of skin."[1]
Human[]
When the Abyssal Black Flame Dragon takes human form, he appears around 15 years old. He has short black hair that covers one of his eyes. He has round, red eyes that seem to glow and bandages wrapped around his arm. He often wears black things to match his hair, sometimes he is seen with a plain black hoodie, and other times he is seen with a black suit. Abyssal Black Flame Dragon is still a dragon, despite looking humane, meaning he keeps some dragon-like features, such as his black horns.
"The face of a little boy with red eyes underneath black hair flashed. The boy with one arm bandaged raised his hand and the shadow of a dragon covered the sky. White fangs were bared." [4]
Personality[]
The Abyssal Black Flame Dragon has been described as a chuunibyou and an otaku, similar in personality to Kim Namwoon. He tends to act in a childish and slightly pompous manner. This childishness is later revealed to be a conscious choice: due to his long life, he purposely forced himself into the mental age of a 15-year-old so that he would not be driven insane by immortality.
He is shown to be rather protective of his incarnations, often reacting aggressively when they are hurt or in danger.
History[]
Black Flame Dragon has lived for over 10000 years and spent much time as a solitary creature. To prevent his mind from decaying and losing itself he chose to regress to a child like state that could still hold curiosity for the world and enjoy living.
At some point he participated in the Revolutionary Scenario in the Demon Realm but didn't like the rules so he killed everyone. This was possibly during the integration of the 64th Demon Realm.
Synopsis[]
Black Flame Dragon is one of the 4 constellations that wanted to sponsor Dokja in the first sponsor selection. He is offended when Dokja rejects him and annoyed that he killed Kim Namwoon who he wanted to sponsor. He observes various scenarios where Kim Dokja is involved and sends indirect messages, often complaining or insulting Kim Dokja.
During the Dark Castle scenario Black Flame Dragon warns Reinheit von Djerba to take Dokja's threats seriously, surprising the demon since it is unusual for him to take an incarnation's side. When Kim Dokja sacrifices himself as the Demon King, Black Flame Dragon is among the constellations who do not wish for his death and is distraught after he dies.
When Jang Hayoung is reaching out to constellations through her wall she messages Black Flame Dragon by chance, sending him a message saying she's a 15 year old girl. Black Flame Dragon responds excitedly to her messages as he want to befriend someone his own age, and agrees to help her and Kim Dokja with the Revolutionary Scenario in exchange for helping him with Han Sooyoung. Kim Dokja gives Black Flame Dragon information about enemies that Han Sooyoung is fighting so that he can offer her advice and bond with her. In return Black Flame Dragon gives Jang Hayoung the 'Fighter' role in the Revolutionary Scenario.
TBD
Black Flame Dragon fights against other dragons for the role of apocalypse dragon during the War of Saints and Demons in the Dragon Festival and almost wins. The apocalypse dragon looks down on him for using his human form to get an advantage but Black Flame Dragon rebukes him and calls him a geezer. He is injured at the end and ultimately cannot beat the apocalypse dragon. He then teams up with Uriel and Gabriel. He also provides his blessing to Yoo Joonghyuk to help him fight Secretive Plotter.
During the final scenario he becomes the new apocalypse dragon. He betrays the constellations of Absolute Evil in order to stand with Kim Dokja's company, supposedly as a prank. This causes him to reach his new ■■, pureness, which he never found in Ways of Survival.
After the scenarios he forms a pop idol group with Uriel and Sun Wukong where he preforms rap songs and break dances.[5]
