The Crimson-Shell (
Although Black Roses and the Crimson Rose come from the same Premier Rose, the Crimson Rose's blood is poisonous to the Black Roses.[1] It is widely used by the Crimson-Shell Division in order to combat the Black Roses.
History[]
Leading a team of researchers, a genius scientist labeled as a madman created a special flower, known as the Premier Rose, and implanted its seeds into abducted humans in an attempt to create mutated beings with superhuman abilities.[2]
The Madman succeeded in creating strong mutants labeled as monsters — the Black Roses — and continued his experiments to further enhance them and use them as weapons.[1] However, these Roses had a fatal flaw — all of them needed to feed on someone's life force in order to survive, and would eventually succumb to a deadly disease known as Black Spot.[3]
Further into the research, a different mutation happened, creating the Crimson Rose. Unlike the Black Roses, the Crimson Rose didn't get infected with Black Spot, and could live without devouring other humans. Still, the Madman dubbed her as a "defective failure". The other researchers then theorized that the Madman tried to keep the powers of the Crimson Rose for himself, claiming that he called her a failure so that he could deceive them, leaving them with the defective Black Roses.[4]
Soon after, the Madman disappeared leaving no trace behind, abandoning his colleagues and research. The Black Roses felt betrayed and brokenhearted as their father figure left them behind, while the remaining researchers were in even more of a panic because they lost the monsters' deterrent, and didn't know what to do with them. One of the grand chief officers then took the Black Roses and escaped from the Organization, saying that the decision to get rid of them was "too cruel".[1]
