Rebirth: Difference between revisions

There are a lot of vampire stories out there. A ''lot''. They range from [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|stabbing them]] to [[The Twilight Saga|wanting to have their children]]. No matter how [[Nightmare Fuel|disturbing]] the image is. '''Rebirth''' is yet another in a long line of books about vampires, this time in comic form.

 

 

The story starts with Desh's death, 357 years before the main story starts. His ashes are interred within a wandering monster that, 350 years on, starts terrorising a town, quickly emptying it of edible things. (Read: people) A team of spiritual investigators (including an uninterested teenage daughter, Remi Do, and Millenear Shephild, their exorcist guide) turn up to investigate the disappearances and quickly discover that not all is as it seems - a point driven home when monsters rise up out of the ground.

A [[Curb Stomp Battle]] ensues and Deshwitat reveals his awesome capability for magic, up to and including summoning a demon lord - apparently something that takes a huge amount of skill and raw power. He then strongarms Millenear into teaching him [[White Magic|to use the "Power of Light"]] since his powers, which are [[Black Magic|summoned and drawn from the shadows]] are useless and impotent against a wielder of light such as the person who sealed him - Kalutika. And so is revealed the [[Myth Arc|main conflict of the story]], Deshwitat's desire for revenge upon Kalutika.

 

----{{tropelist}}

* [[A God Am I]]: Bishop Bernard, who thinks that he's fulfilling God's will by eliminating Deshwitat off the face of the earth. In reality, he was just consumed by a sacred beast that was feeding off his jealousy and corruption. Doesn't qualify for Kalutika though, since Kalutika actually ''is'' a god.

* [[Chivalrous Pervert]]: Both Rett and Eiji. Eiji's debut actually had them discussing the finer points of their female allies' bodies.

* [[Church Militant]]: Deshwitat's first opponent in the VLT, Santana, is a vampire slayer working for a religious sect to bring vampires into extinction. The odd thing is that Santana himself is a vampire, which might bring the question as to why he wants to eliminate his own race.

** As revealed in volume 3, {{spoiler|Millenear can use Dark magic too - except she uses it to save a child and is stripped of her exorcist status for it.}}
