The Black Mass

The Black Mass are a parasitical alien race and enemies of the Dimension Jumpers. They are telepathic and intelligent. They desire to harness the powers of all Dimension Jumpers and rule the entire multiverse.

History
In the beginning, the Black Mass were once a harmless ooze that dwelled in the underground caverns of a volcano on an alien world. As they evolve, they developed sentinence and curiosity of the outside world. But when they reached the surface, the Black Mass discovered they could easily disintigrate and die from sunlight and were forced to retreat back into the caves.

Robbed of their opotunity, the Black Mass vow to escape their underground home no matter the cost.

a collective intelligence akin to a hivemind

They communicate and socialize with other infected hosts

The Black Mass always search for a suitable host to merge and control

attaching itself internally to the nervous system

Once a Black Mass finds a potential boy or girl, it will climb through their mouths and attaches itself to their hearts. The first symptom will be that his/her heart is cold and heavy. They could hardly breathe for a few minutes. suffer from a number of symptoms: influencing the host's behaviour, eyes turn yellew, discolouration of the iris, sudden unconsciousness, yellow color

While the Black Mass dwells within its host's body, its seperate identity will communicate with him/her in their minds. Sometimes to torment or help them. This can be mistaken for a identity disorder.

If a person is asleep, the Black Mass may take possession of his/her body easily and without struggle. If the host is awake and possessed, there is a fighting chance he/she can battle for control.

The host may not remember anything whenever the Black Mass takes over temporary. This can happen when the host falls asleep or is under extreme emotion.

A Black Mass need its host's life essence in order to survive. It feeds on the negativity of human emotions and alters their behaviour in return. As long as the victim continues to feel negative, the Black Mass will spread until it takes over his/her entire body permanently. Within 24 hours, eventually, the mind will fade.

a black Mass' control over the host can be resisted, even overcome entirely.

in an advanced stage, a possessed host will transform into a humanoid version of a Black Mass.

The victim vomits a black, gelationous substance.

Powers and Abilities

 * A Black Mass can grant its host enhanced strength, reflexes, speed, immunity from diseases and regeneration from the worse of injuries.
 * As the Black Mass leeches off its host's body, it gives greater power in return, such as protection from mind intrusion. This comes from sharing two minds.
 * However if the host relies on his/her Black Mass too often, it becomes more difficult to control.
 * A Black Mass can see in the dark and is immune to water.
 * A Black Mass can draw out its host's abilities to their utmost limits, exhibiting a deadly power.
 * A Black Mass can amplifly the host's desires like pleasure, total bliss and false happiness to prevent the host from resisting.
 * In their original form, the Black Mass will use their elongated tentacles to bind their opponauts.
 * When there's resistance, a Black Mass unleashes an intense electronic shock to keep the host under its control.

Weaknesses

 * Love: As the Black Masses are opposites of light, love is like a poison to them. Their growth can be suppressed with positive emotions, allowing the host to regurgitate the black substance from their bodies.
 * Sunlight: The Black Masses need bodies to protect themselves from sunlight. They are very vunerable to bright light. Their photosensitvity is due to years of never being exposed to it. When one is exposed and dies, its body changes to dust-like form.
