Ludro

"I abhor you, and I shall always clench an animosity for you and your associates. Constantly, I will barge through and break your strategy by making my entrance, and you always repel me away...it is the time for me prevail and begin my reign over this so-called "wonderful" Zolara, and to kick it off, you will be the first I conquer. Begone!"

- Ludro

Ludro, sometimes acknowledged as the, and otherwise known as Atheno, Flanio, and the Sorcerer of Death's Construction, is a male antagonistic popopo that is said to originate from an alternative universe, a former ally of the Dark Matter Resistance.

Ludro has been responsible for numerous disasters, often causing massive pain and complete destruction of others' whims or ideals. As such, he is widely regarded as one of the largest threats ever known to Zolara overall.

Ludro was later revealed to be one of the Ancient Sages, being of the Chival group.

Appearance
As a DMR member and his time before that, Ludro was a pale purple popopo with fluffed out blue hair. His eyes were of a light blue color. As his new "Magic Order" appearance, he wears a black mechanical scanner over his eyes and has blue hair stuffed with static electricity. His feet contain power that enables him to float up in the air. His scepter, originally a normal magic wand, is now a magical topaz held by a stick that has the potential to paralyze, freeze, and burn things up.

Backstory
Ludro started out as a wealthy merchant who went to Hell shortly and came out of it and lived a life of paradise for a long time and was rude to everyone just so he could be funny. The dark side of him took over though and became his main personality, then in his happy summer home he plotted to take over the hyperspace, creating insane maps and plots in a notebook, harming anyone who disturbed him. His first step to madness was Zolara.

Plan after plan failed, and to gain information about how heroes work, Ludro followed the DMR and eventually became a part of them after losing in a purposefully simple fight. However, he eventually betrayed them, right in front of life, cackled and walked off with the notes about the heroes that he gathered.

Shortly afterward, he met Hail and adopted a small girl named Janie, then signed up for the Magic Order organization, revamping his appearance to look different and to avoid getting caught as this identity. He went as Flanio but he later went as Atheno as he replaced Ateque as the leader of the team.

Abilities
Ludro is a very powerful dark magic user and can use them to his own will. His scepter is considered a work of perfection, doing just about anything that Ludro commands it to do. The magic can range between several elements, such as fire, ice, darkness, earth, and etc. His wand's effects can become explosive if the user is angered.

As Atheno, almost all his magic is explosive and all his abilities are more empowered. He can demote minor deities for a short period of time or disable their powers, and he can also fly and spread hell across the hyperspace.

His abilities as Dark Lord are indescribable. He knows so many powerful and cruel techniques of destruction that they can hardly be listed here. However he can ignore the powers of deities and bring anything and everything to a halt if his power fully reaches the max. His scepter here is hardly needed as his massive manipulation does pretty much everything for him.

Ludro is very intelligent and while can be reckless at times he is definitely no villain to underestimate. All his actions are often regarded as cruel and he has hardly anything that can be used for benefit. He can resurrect the dead for evil purposes or manipulate minor heroes to do his work.

Personality
Ludro is extremely cold and shares little to no feelings for others, and will completely bypass anyone who tries to get in his way. In battles, he is intimidatingly reckless, thirsting to win and overpower. If someone is in help or in need, and if that someone is not Hail or his adoptive daughter Janie, he will leave them to die. His mouth is an origin for insults and sarcasm, not able to keep it to himself whatsoever.

As Atheno, Ludro is much worse and is at a whole new level of destruction. By this point he does not care about Hail but still holds feelings for Janie. Ludro will go out of his way to destroy happiness and joy at every opportunity, and shatter relationships and ideals for others by exploiting true feelings or dark secrets. Anyone who gets in Ludro's way is either killed or pushed out of the way by a powerful attack.

In his Dark Lord form, Ludro is completely heartless. His heart has minimal reach for Janie, but everyone else, including Hail, is threatened by nothing but his pure existence, barring the exceptions of certain others. He will fight and slaughter all those who come in his way, and his spare time is only spent about thinking of new paths to destruction and chaos. He is so cruel and destructive by this point that there is no pity for whatever he does, his ruthless and endless desire to do nothing but destroy and build a new world in his own image has caused him to go under so many changes.

As his normal form and as Atheno, Ludro can act somewhat nice, but this is to be deceiving and enter others' true thoughts and minds. He will fully reveal himself in the end and betray them, using what he's learned in his next step of madness.

Hail
The relationship between Ludro and Hail is quite unclear. Ludro loves her but always takes things to the minimal level, never really going beyond a simple hug.

Janie
Ludro is rather fond of his adopted daughter, admiring her courage and outstanding power. Anyone who tries to get in Janie's way is brought to death by Ludro if Janie doesn't kill them first.

Lance
Ludro not only hates Lance, but he desperately wants to destroy him. Ludro will find each and every point to search out and annihilate Lance, and no one will get in his way, or they will suffer dire consequences.

Larry
Given Ludro's abusive nature, it is hard to believe the two are long lost cousins. It is said that upon Ludro disappearing from his rather peaceful habitat that he never saw him again.

Trivia
