Ended up writing this on mobile because my laptop fucked itself somehow. Got a new one by the time I got to Viper, but may finish this on mobile because, yeah..

May be on mobile for a bit, so bare with me.

Mono (Sans, Tale)- I’ve said this before in his introductory page, but I’ll say it again. He is so used to nothing but his waist cloth, the cold, and rough fabrics that if you give him an oversized hoodie, he just melts inside. He’ll be susupicious of you, before he slips it on and a small blue dusts his cheekbones as he looks away and zips it up and just mutters a small “Thanks..” After that, he becomes more attentive and a bit protective. He starts giving you blankets he’s made, along with small gifts. During colder months, he’ll scold you for being outside during the night without socks or a blanket. Hell, he would even heat up some tea made from scratch.

Talie (Papyrus, Tale)- One of the easiest of the group to deal with, Talie is practically trusting you from the moment he saw you! Well.. From the outside. He's actually very reluctant to get closer to you, finding loopholes in not getting completely alone with you, or you alone with anyone else. Sure, he may be a pure boy, but he didn't apprentice under Undyne and have Mono as an older brother just for show. But, for him to let his guard down, it's just building trust. Showing him that, no, you're not planning some ulterior motive or planning on trapping ot killing them not that you could. After you do manage his trust, though, there isn't much change. He's just as friendly, open, and emergetic as before. But, he may be more open to talking about some things he previously avoided, like hai scars, or the underground.

Envei (Blue, Swap)- A rather easy monster to win over and to impress- or, rather, just easy to impress. He, despite first impressions, is hard to ensure a bind with him. But, it's hard to tell whether or not he's just being being friendly or if you've gained his friendship. But, a sure way to know, is the time he spends with you. If he spends the majority flirting about your physical form, he's more interested in sex. ("Are You Wearing Reflective Clothes? Because I Can See Myself All Over You") But, if he's interested in you, then he's less flirting and more complimenting you on personality and body. ("I Love Your Eyes, Human. They Remind Me Of The Ocean. Deep, Mysterious.. Beautiful.") Once comfortable around you, he becomes softer. The spines on his body are less tense, and he finds nonsexual causal conversation easier.

Taif (Stretch, Papyrus)- Off the bat, it's hard to gain Taif's trust. For one, he's socially anxious, so it's hard to find him because he isn't ever around anyone besides his brother. Secondly, he hates humans. He's only ever around when you call his fake name, Al, to have him guide you. And even then, Envei bribed him into doing that, using sea glass, sunken jewelry, and even the origami he makes. But, when you accidentally left out some honey once? He saw it as a gift and started to trust you. When you offered cookies to everyone when they helped move you in? Or even when you asked if he wanted to stay and help you bake something. But, compliments and flattery is what really gets him. You had caught sight of his wings before, and complimented them. His face flushed, and he started to fall for you.

This became much longer than I intended.

Ren was a good monster. At least, he tried to be. It was just.. Hard for him sometimes. Especially now.

You'd cut yourself on a blade making some dinner, and all you'd seen when he stepped into the room a moment after you'd gasped in pain, a look of pure worry on his face was an enlarging eyelight that lost it's softness to the edges, his expression melting from concern to neutral and then hunger.

After that, you were pinned down. On the floor with a drooling, hungry looking skeleton looming over you as he opened his jaw to reveal his sharp teeth.

"R-Ren!" You yelled, bringing your hands in front of yourself for protection. You knew of his feral ways, having encountered them before, but sometimes that hunger took over the side of him that wanted to protect you and just a loving boyfriend.

This seemed to snap him out of his trance as in an instant his pressure was off of you and your pantry door was flung open and then the door leading outside.

Gone in just a few seconds.

Ren didn't want to lose himself to his instincts every time your scent left his nose, or every time he smelled blood, or heard pained sounds.

But.. He did. And all he saw in that moment as he loomed above your scared form was the sight of you cowering from him.. His mind flashed to a gruesome image of his teeth sinking into your skin to tear out the tender muscle..

But he couldn't let himself do that. Not to you.

You were the only thing that could keep him grounded. That could keep his mind stable. And he honestly didn't know what he would do with or to himself if he lost you.

You were way too precious to him. He wasn't sure if he could live on with the fact he hurt you if he ever did.

So, he was racing through trees, trying to push off his magic swirling as he soon dropped from two feet to four, ignoring the trees smacking his face and trying to catch at his clothes.

Meanwhile, you'd swiftly washed out your cut and bandaged it as you went after your boyfriend.

Some would say the relationship wasn't normal. Which it wasn't.

A human and a monster wasn't common. Let alone a skeleton monster.

A monster with so many issues it was hard to keep track of at time. And yet.. You still stayed by him. You still loved him despite everything.

That's why you couldn't leave him alone and scared.

You knew it wasn't his fault. He hadn't been in control of himself for who knows how long. Letting his animalistic side run rampant while he was caged up inside his mind must have been horrible. And it was.

So, you had to follow him. Follow him despite everything. Even if he ended up hurting you -which you doubted he'd ever do.

It wasn't hard to find his trail. The trampled shrubs, pushed over and broken small trees and the still slightly shaking vegetation.

As quickly and steadily as you could, you rushed through the walls of trees, slipping under branches and occasionally tripping over rocks in the way.

Finally, you caught sight of red magic swirling further ahead in a cave. This was nearly the reptilian territory, and waking them wasn't good at all.

A sliver of panic met your soul. Domni and Viper wouldn't go after you, no, they liked you. They'd go after Ren, having bad blood with the werewolf and being territorial.

Quieting your steps, you slowly eased your way into the caves mouth. Was this even Ren? Or had you mistaken the bright red for the crimson and deep red of the more aggressive magic wielders?

Your answer was revealed when you caught sight of a curled up skeleton, knees to his chest and bright red swollen eyelight small and shaking. Oh no.. He was having an episode.

Others had told you how dangerous he could be right after his instincts took over. How no one could reach him even if they wanted to.

But.. You were different. You calmed him down. You were his remedy to this.

"Ren," You whispered, kneeling down to start crawling towards him. "Baby, I'm here." You reassured, reaching towards the eye trained in you, only to flinch back when he tried to snap at your hand.

"Ren, sweetheart.." You tried again, lowering your volume more. His ear was folded back, but they started to perk at your words as the sharp edges to his eyelight started to expand ever so slightly.

"It's me, Love. It's me. It's okay baby, I'm right here. Come here baby." You encouraged, sitting back some and opening your arms up for him.

Ren seemed to hesitate, a low growl starting to grow in his throat, before it cut itself off with you gently shushing him while looking into his eyes.

This seemed to calm him down more than you thought it would. Well, you always had an affect on him.

His pupil softened ever so slightly, and he pulled himself from his ball of panic onto his hands and feet. Unlike the other legged skeletons around, Ren's feet were wolf-like in structure. They had the knee, which came down to his ankle and then slanted in a sharp diagonal slope down to his toes with an odd L shape, allowing for him to be better versatile on his four limbs.

Instead of looking at you with the adoration you were used to, he had a primal hunger as fear flashed in you for the briefest moment. Yes, he could hurt you. But, you knew, knew, he wouldn't.

This was your Ren.

Crossing your legs in front of you, you spread your arms wider for him, eyes trained with his.

However, when he opened his jaw to snarl -an animalistic, beast-like sound- your eyes broke that contact to stare at the sharp, glimmering teeth as drool started to sleep from the edge of his mouth.

This moment, this one measly moment, could have cost you your life.

As soon as your orbs broke from his iris, he pounced and completely shrouded your form with his massive frame.

Almost instantly, his face was in your neck. Terror ran through you as the thoughts of your life being taken then and there with a cut off scream that ended in gurgles was enough for what you thought your last words would be.

“Ren!”

.

.

.

Nothing..

Everything seemed to freeze in that moment.

Ren’s teeth were only just grazing passed the first layer or two of the skin on your throat as you felt his magic pulse through his opened jaw, but.. It seemed to slowly calm it’s rapid beating. With this happening, Ren’s mind was coming to him.

He blinked. Once. Twice.

Suddenly, he yanked his mouth back to stare down at your face in utter horror of his actions. Before he could pull himself off of your body, your arms reached out to wrap around his neck and pull him back down to you.

As he tried to voice his protest, which only made you pull him in even closer. You knew well enough he could just shove himself from your body with his unnatural strength, but he didn’t want to even risk hurting you.

He growled lightly, but when you gave but a small hushing it faded to a whimper. He could act tough, but you saw through it.

A moment later, his tense body relaxed over yours. Your smell filling his nose as his arms wrapped up under your back and waist. He picked you up and sat back, leaning against the cave wall with his nasal buried into your skin.

Gently kissing the side of his head, you kept your arms around his neck. From an outside view, this may have looked romantically adorable, but from your point? It could have been your life. It could have been his sanity.

When he calmed down, pulling his skull from between your shoulder and head, his eyelight was softened, watching you with pure and utter love for a moment.

But only a moment.

Suddenly, tears began filling up the lower edge of his eye socket.

To others, it would sound like a growl, or the call of a beast or demon. To you? It was a painful, hurting sob that erupted from his throat as he pulled you as close as possible to his body, leaving his body in the most heartbreaking way.

Gently shushing him while he wrapped his large hands around your body, his arm hooking under your waist to pull you close to his chest, burying your face into his chest while the other reached up to tangle itself into your hair.

Some would say you needed to leave him. To find someone else. Someone more stable. But, some would also leave you be in your relationship and time with Ren.

Some were the reptile brothers. Which had just appeared in the mouth of the cave to stare in with wide, panicked eyes as they went to rush forward while opening their jaws to yell.

They both froze when you turned your head to glare at them while raising a hand up to tell them to stop.

Ren never took well to being yelled at, and definitely wouldn’t be able to take that now.

Despite his high senses, he seemed to be unable to notice neither Domni nor Viper despite their powerful auras. Or he just didn't care at that moment.

Gently shushing the giant creature atop you, your arms wrapped around him.

One around his neck with your palm on his skull and the other gently stroking his ear.

This would take a while to settle his mind, but it would be worth it. You two would have to start resistance training, which Ren would be reluctant to.. Then you'd bribe him with a long cuddle session and kisses.

If anyone tried to say anything to your lovely monster, you'd be quick to scold them.

He was trying.

He was a good monster.

So, moving into a house was your objective. But, having a gargoyle roommate, two aquatic sweethearts, and seven more cryptic-like beings was a plus. So, what better way to take advantage of the situation, than to have them help?

Mono (Classic, Sans)- Convincing- He internally huffs, both irritated by your ignorance to gargoyles even though the opinions on gargoyles varies and.. amusement? You see, you asked him to help, not told him. You’re the first to ever do that. But, he still doesn’t trust you. How he helps- He, actually isn’t allowed inside the house. No gargoyle is.. Without trust in his housemaster and their trust in him. He doesn’t even want to help. But he has to, by your wish. But, he’s surprised when you say he doesn’t have to, but doesn’t voice it. He doesn’t trust you. He won’t.. He won’t. That’s what he tells himself. Give him some time to come around. What the others say- They don’t really say anything. They know he can’t really help with how his subspecies of monster works, along with his distrust and dislike of humans. But Talie will encourage him to try and bond with you. “Try someone else.. I can’t-” ‘Won’t.’ “-help you..” “Sorry..”

Talie (Classic, Papyrus)- Convincing- With Talie all you need to do is open your mouth and he’s in. But, with these tentacles? It’s sort of hard.  How he helps- Like his brother, he can’t exactly go inside your house to help. He wants to, he really wants to. But, with him being stuck in water, he can’t. He’ll, with his brother, help on the outside.. Close to the water. Give decoration advice, tell you when you need to take a break, the like. What the others say- Honestly? He’s too lovable by them all maybe not all.. DomniCentri that they don’t care since he can’t help it. “Gee, Human, I Wish I Could, But I Wouldn’t Be Much Help. Nyeh Heh Heh!”

Envei (Swap, Blue)- Convincing- Honestly, you’re at a loss here too. Maybe in another timeline he could, one where he was a terrestrial or aerial being. How he helps- Like his other aquatic counterpart, he also can’t leave water.. As far as he knows. He could turn into a human, with legs, but Taif hasn’t told him of this due to protective natures. In the meantime, he’ll try to go on land, going as far as the shore. His fears keep him from going any further. What the others say- Like with Talie, they can’t blame him for his limited reach. However, they are more appreciative of the fact he can’t when it comes to you. He’s rather.. sexual and has taken interest in you. “Oh, You Need My Help, Now Do You? Well, I Could Certainly Help Myself With You~ Mweh Heh Heh! I’m Joking Human! Wish I Could. Try My Brother.”

Taif (Swap, Honey)- Convincing- It make take a bit. He’s distrusting, anxious, honored, and a bit smug. You want his help. His help. His help. You’re jus making him feel more guilty about lying about his real name. How he helps- He’s a bit nervous, to say the least. His fae instincts are going ecstatic. You’re not supposed to invite fae into your home unless you’re prepared. Then again.. you don’t really know.. And he doesn’t want to break your trust in him. Still.. you do want his help.. And you do have some drinks and food to offer.. Fine. He’ll help.. But, he’s helping with the small things, no matter what the others say. What the others say- They’re more protective of you due to him being a fae and the faery nature. Still, they’ll make sure he stays polite. “Y-you want my help..? …Uh... I-I could try.. Fine! I-I’ll help!”

Domni (Fell, Red)- Convincing- All you needed to say was his name! He may seem rough around the edges, and rather lewd, but he just has this need to feel useful, so you asking for his help fuels something in him that’s more intimate than sex. How he tries to help- He’s more than willing to help! Plus, he gets to look at your cute little ass and impress you with his rather thick humorous bones and strength. Everyone know he’s showing off. But if you mention his strength, he’ll smirk, lift your chin some, and comment on how he has “something big and just as powerful” for you. What the others say- With Domni, it’s just eye rolls. They know he’s trying to impress you. Typical. Well, they’ll make sure he doesn’t try anything passed lewd flirting and light touching. “What’s wrong sweetheart? Oh? This? I can carry more than just a dresser. Hand me another one. Ya know what? Get on my shoulders while your at it!” 

Viper (Fell, Boss/Edge/Crimson/Spice)- Convincing- Truthfully, he snap some and say he’s busy and will try to slither away, but if your expression drops from pleading to a limp frown and downcast eyes, or you give him just the sweetest pleading eyes, his soul clenches and he caves. How he helps- Like his brother, he’s rather strong, so the heavy lifting is also split with him. Of course, he’ll 'subtly’ keep looking at you because that makes him think you’re watching, so he has to be at his top game. What the others think- Geez, calm the fuck down! You barely know this human! They find it kind of annoying because he keeps getting it the way. Probably his superiority complex. But, under that, they’re surprised. Viper only does something for someone else if he gets something out of it in return. “Watch Out Human! You Almost Tripped Over The Vampiric Viper! Shut The Fuck Up Domni! I’m Not Showing Off For This Vile Creature! Get You’re Head Off Of You’re Tail!”

Centri (SwapFell Red, Black/BlackBerry)- Convincing- It takes a bit, and a bit of pleading from Relib before he caves. How he helps- Due to his harpy powers, he’s carrying an entire bed up the stairs without even changing his mild scowl. It’s almost admirable, and he gets a sweet dark ginger flush as you gawk at him not even breaking a sweat while he easily lists your refrigerator over his shoulder. The previous owner took theirs and the landlord gave you a used one beforehand. What the others think- They’re shocked. Centri never, never, helps anyone on his terms. Call him selfish, but he much prefers doing things on his own, and would rather people learn to do that Relib, his sweet older brother, is fine though as well. “No! Screw Off, Pest!” “Fine! But Only Because I Need To Keep An Eye On The Idiots So They Don’t Harm My Servant” 

Relib (SwapFell Red, Mutt/BBQ/Puppy/Rus)- Convincing- Relib is another skeleton that all you have to do is ask and he’s already asking back where you want stuff. How he helps- He isn’t as strong as the others around, so he helps with small things. Offering arrangement places, putting away books, hanging up picture, washing dishes, handing out drinks and snacks at breaks. What the others think- He’s just the same old Relib, but.. he seems to have gained some confidence with you, and not the mask he puts up. “W-Would it be okay here? Yeah? Alright.... That would look better to that wall, by the way.”

Ren (Horror, Blood/Axe/Skull)- Convincing- You don’t need to ask him. He just sees commotion happening and immediately shows up to see what’s happening. Good luck fending him off. How he helps- He just like a cat. A big, lazy, affectionate cat. He’s pulling you into his lap and whining when you insist you have to get up. What the others think- They naturally don’t like Ren, except for the aquatic brothers, but Envei is neutral with the wolf. He keeps distracting you, holding you, and is so damn clingy.. “*whine*... Come.. back..”

Creature- (Forest) Fae

Element- Earth. Taif is a very patient being. He’d much rather try to convince someone rather than force them to change, no matter how long it takes, he is immortal after all, so he has all the time in the world. Not only this, but he is also a thoughtful being. All gifts from him are from his soul, and will likely relate back to something that had happened between him and another, but he doesn’t like giving gifts too often because that gives power over a fae and he doesn’t like that feeling, so he only gives to those he deeply trusts. This insecure trickster is actually a very hard worker who wants things to remain calm and positively eventful, so he does his best to keep this state.

Shared-

Fae are mischievous, loving pranks -although prefers executing rather than being a victim. Fae are pacifists, unless they are bothered deeply or what they hold dear is threatened. Fae a typically rather phlegmatic beings, but Taif is a partial exception.

Taif will show his emotions, but prefers to smother them with a smoke of a cigarette or weed, or even a drink. Too much alcohol, however, makes him spill his heart and mind, especially to those close to him.

_______________________________

Taif is a lanky skeleton with light orange fleckles decorating his cheeks. Despite him slouching, he's two feet and two inches taller

He has mainly cream colored cicada iridescent wings.

He wears a form of green and brown cloth with small red, white, and light purple flowers blooming from the vines that weave through the cloak. Gems are embedded into the fabric.

His sockets glow a faint gold tinted irange, magic activated or not.

Powers-

Tongues- Fae are able to speak in tongues, which Taif uses the older languages as not as many know them as a way to joke on others, hide his secrets, and flirt when he’s too shy to outright say, or to impress, but all to help boost his confidence.

Glamour- Taif also shares a glamour power. Due to insecurities, he uses this quite a bit to appear more ‘appealing’ to others or to just ‘help’ his mind feel more comfortable with his appearance.

Flight- Despite a lack of wings, Taif can fly, although he usually just hovers, not liking being so high up.

Shape shifting- While some fae can shapeshift into different creatures, this drains a lot of energy from the poor skeleton, so he usually sticks to only increasing or decreasing his size (in more ways than one.)

Fae mark- Invisible to all but the fae, fae are able to mark humans as enemy, friend, mate, or family. Each mark is unique to each fae, and each of the four categories listed here are different as well.

Fae-dar- They’re able to detect anyone with fae blood.

Invisibility- Fae prefer to be unseen, and this adds to that.

Weaknesses-

Iron- The purer and more raw, the more lethal it is.

Shiny objects- Taif is partial to shiny objects, loving them, so they throw off his focus.

Deal making- Fae are incapable of breaking a deal they made, unless the deal is broken by the other part, and not by loophole but fully broken.

Personality-

Taif is a rather.. meek monster. Unlike other fae, he’s somewhat shy and insecure. While, yes, he can have confidence, his mainly comes from using his powers to impress. Using his glamour to alter his appearance to something he’d find more attractive, tongues to impress and confuse.

He, despite his species, isn’t as manipulative as other fae may be. He pushes away his thoughts of luring you into fairy rings and trapping you in the fae realm. Unlike other fae, he isn’t as strict as others could be. He still doesn’t like others who are selfish or rude, but has built a tolerance for it after meeting humans and what they’ve done to monsterkind.

Speaking of which, he’s very suspicious of humans and reluctant of their species due to his past experiences with them. He doesn’t like humans, but also knows that those around today aren’t the same ones that sealed all communities of monsters in the undergrounds, or forced them into hiding a second time, but he still doesn't like them.

Backstory-

Before the underground, he mainly practiced his magic alongside others who had similar powers, so being underground wasn't a new thing to him or socialized with humans, but a sudden influx of monsters of all elements was, but he dealt with it. Once the curse was lifted, and they were able to step out, only to be chased off again furthered his dislike of humans. They began hunting them, selling them, killing them, and more until half of each community remained while humans spread far and wide and overcrowded.

Mono (Classic/Tale)- Will most likely happen when he's checking in on you during the night, or curious as to who he now has to protect in a state different then saving your ass from an animalistic werewolf.

You turned to look out the window, surprised for two reasons.

The first being it was already dark out. Had time really passed that much since you had put all your furniture in and had finally finsihed fully furnishing everything in your new house?

The second being the male peering through with wide, shocked sockets staring back at you, upside down, hanging off the side if the porch.

Then.. He fell..

After the momentary shock of what happened, you rushed outside to see if he was okay, and why he was peering into your house.

Mono now sat in the porch, rubbing his skull from the impact, before he jumped up.

"Are you okay? Are you alri-"

"Don't freak out human! I'm-"

You both cut each other off.

"Y-you go fi-" "No- you-" You both stammered to each other.

You gestured to him after a moment, to which he sighed.

"Human, I am a gargoyle. My name is Mono and I guard this house, its land, and now you." 'Mono' stated in a deep, raspy tone, before kneeling. Depsite his calm exterior, he was freaking out internally.

Humans weren't supposed to know he was alive, especially not on the first night.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, New Master." Mono said, his sudden sweet and polite tone sounding forced and too much effort put in.

The sudden title had you taken aback.

"You don't need to address me! I'm Name. Please, call me such." You responded, trying to ease the tense air as the slight shift in the gargoyle before you.

He raised his head, his sockets narrowed some as if he was studying your features for deciet. He was so uses to human supremacy. This was new..

"Please, just.. Is your head okay?" You asked, offering a smile. "And, thanks for saving me the other night.."

Maybe.. Maybe Mono could trust this human.

Talie (Puff/Tale)- Will more than likely be during a visit to the lake to unclog the water system behind the house and in the woods.

As you walked calmly through the trees, you couldn't help but feel eyes on you. It was.. Probably an animal! Yeah..

Upon reaching the lake, you sighed some, admiring the clear water with the small fish swimming around. Now just to figure how you could get to the water pump without much hassle.

Soon, you were waist deep in the water, wading towards the pipe cover in the muddy grounding when you suddenly noticed the water getting darker from more than just dirt.. Or rather a shadow looming over you in the now dark water.

A yell left your mouth as something wrapped around your waist and yanked you back.

"Human! Human! It's Okay!" A voice called, a pair of hands being placed in your shoulders as you were turned around to take in the sight of whoever now held you.

Your eyes widened as the large creature processed in your mind.

A large skeleton with a soft, sweet face with sharp canines.

Glancing down, you found orange tentacles wrapped around your waist.

Your mouth fell open as the skeleton was quick to start talking about before you screamed.

"Human! It's Okay! I Am Just Trying To Help!" He said quickly, swiftly pulling anither tentacle out of the water to reveal a snapping turtle in his grasp.

"You Were Only A Few Feet From Them And I Didn't Want You Losing A Toe!" He stated quickly, watching your expression go from shocked horror to scared realization.

He quickly put the turtle back into the water for them to swim baxk down stream.

Then, the skeleton released you.

"Human! I Can Finally See You! I'm Talie! The Great Talie!" He introduced, sticking out a hand eagerly for you to shake, as if kraken skeletons were an everyday occurrence to be caught by.

"N-Name.." You said back after a moment, regaining yourself as you shook his hand nervously.

"Well, Name, Do You Need Help?" Talie asked with a bright grin.

Envei (Berry/Swap)- After meeting two skeletons in such a close time, you decides to cool off in another pond, stripping from your outer clothing to a swimming suit.

As you got into the water, you relaxes around, wading and walking through the water for a while as you sughed happily.. Only for something to brush your legs as you jumped back.

A.. Another skeleton slowly emerged from the water, peeking his nasal up from the water as he stared at you with bright blue eyes.

You could see, on the sides of his head, were fins. Oh no.. Another one.. A.. Merman?

Before you could say anything, you found the skeleton sunk down into the pond, before suddenly appearing in front of you with an incredulous expression.

Before you could even breathe, the monster had let out a loud laugh as he placed his webbed hand onto your shoulders and waist, suddenly lifting you with and spinning you around like childhood friends.

You let out a yell which caught his attention, him setting you down with a bright smile.

"S-Sorry Human! I Can't Control Myself! You're The First I've Seen Of Your Species In A While And Now I Can Talk To You In Person! Gosh, You're Much More Attractive Up Close." He stated, getting closer to you, smirking to reveal his sharp teeth.

"Oh! My Manners!" He suddenly whispered to himself, backing up as his smirk turned to a grin.

"I'm Envei!" He introduced, quirking a brow encouragingly to your hesitance.

"...Are.. Are you a mermaid?" You couldn't help yourself. He was.. Intriguing?

"No. If I Was, I'd Be A Merman. I'm A Siren." He corrected, his tail swishing under the water eagerly. At your more concerned face, he quickly switched to reassurance. "But Don't Worry, I Don't Like Human! I Prefer Animals And Plants!" His voice was upbeat, but a but nervous as he fiddled some with his scarf.

"Name." You finally said after a moment, watching as he perked up some curiously. "That's my name, Envei."

This was the start of a long matches of water games and scares.

Taif (Stretch/Swap)- Will mostly occur when you're needing to go into the woods, wanting to gather some berries or something for a snack. However, that note was stuck in your head.

"A....Al?" You called, watching for a long moment, feeling stupid as you peered into the trees ahead as if something would happen.

Sighing some, you let the thought slip from your mind and prepared to take a step.

"Human! No!" A voice called, reaching for you and pulling you back before you could go into the vegetation.

Turning around, you saw another skeleton. This.. Wasn't as much as a shock since you'd figured out probably all of who you met that first night a week ago were skeletons.

"Never go that way! That's to Domni and Vipers caves." The skeleton stated, sockets wide and voice a bit frantic. Then, he processed your shocked expression as he realized he was still holding your shoulders tightly and quickly recoiled back.

"S-sorry.." He apologized, cradling his hands to his chest as he looked away, as if in shame.

After a moment, you regained yourself enough to talk. "Are you.. Al?" You ask softly, the skeleton glancing at you as he lifted his head some, and nodded. Offering him a small smile, you extended your hand.

"Name. It's a pleasure to meet you, Al."

'Al' was hesitant, before shaking your hand as he visibly relaxed.

"So, what're we looking for?" He asked, turning towards a different part of the forest.

Something felt off about him.. Like he wasn't telling the truth, but he held no malicious aura to him..

Domni (Red/Fell)- Oh boy.. There is no subtlety. He openly goes to your house to just straight up talk to you like you've been friends for a lifetime.

You were just chilling at you place, when you heard knocking on the door. That's.. Odd.. No one lives around here, and you hadn't ordered anything..

Maybe it was Mono, or Al? But, why would either of them need you?

Approaching the door, you hesitated a moment, before grabbing a hold of the doorknob. As soon as you started twisting, the door was pushed open and someone pushed into your house.

"Ah, so yer da human that pissed off my brother? Hah! Good one! Haven't seen 'im so mad since Undyne tried to take the guard position again!"

Okay, who was this jackass?

He pushed his way into your house to just start talking as if he hadn't just shoved his giant ass into someone else's house.

As you were about to say something, you froze at seeing his large wings and tail.

How the hell did you get into this situation? You asked yourself, the reality of the situation hitting you. Monsters aren't supposed to be real.. They're supposed to be myths.. Stories.. Tales..

Now you're surrounded by, as far as you could tell, about ten? All of which hadn't seemed to want to you around.. Except Talie and Envei, but even they seemed dangerous at some points.

Maybe it'd be better if you started packing now.. You honestly just wanted to get away from the city and stress, but got thrown into a fantasy world of hiding monster men.

"..an...-Hum... Human!" A voice boomed, you suddenly breaking from your thoughts to see the dragon character in your face, eyes narrowed and mouth pursed. "You alive in that head of yours?"

You blinked a bit, before jumping back as he snorted some from your momentary surprise.

"Yer a weird one." He commented, before chugging a.. Bottle of mustard?

"Hypocrite.." You muttered, to which he stopped drinking the condiment and eyed you as if in offense.

"What ya say?" He asked, words a bit incoherent some from yellow substance in his mouth.

"H-...Hypocrite." You repeated, getting a spurt of courage. "Hypocrite."

He scoffed in mock offense. "An' tell me how?"

Ugh, his voice was so annoying! Even if it was deep, with a rough edge and a brooklyn accent.. No! He was a major dick! "Firstly, you come into my house without permission, then take my stuff, and proceed to insult me. All within five minutes."

This actually seemed to get to him, him opening his mouth slightly as his sockets opened some as he seemed to visibly process his words.

His lips then curled up into a grin as he started laughing as if you'd said the worlds funniest joke. "I like ya human! Names Domni." He stated, grinning wider to shoe off his sharp teeth and golden tooth.

You crossed your arms at him, unimpressed with him as he looked around a bit. "What?" He asked, completely oblivious to your annoyance.

After a moment, you sighed and shook your head. "Name.."

Viper (Edge/Fell)- He.. He was forced to apologize to you genuinely by Domni after his brother had hung around you for while two weeks.

"I DON'T WANT TO! GET YOUR FLITHY HANDS OFF OF ME! SANS YOU ABSOLITE LIZARD!" A loud voice screeched out front from your house.

You were currently behind your house, talking with Talie and Envei at the lake at the back of your house. The boys sighed, parting goodbye with you as you left the water, them seeming to recognize the voice.

You'd been swimming to relax in the hot weather. The perk about living far off in the woods in near solitude? You could walk around in just a swimsuit without a Karen yelling at you or having the fear anyone would be watching.

As you rounded the house, wrapping a towel around your shoulders, you caught sight of Domni flying off. Quirking a brow some, your gaze landed on the half skeleton throwing a hissy fit as he waved his arms up and down angrily.

"YOU GODDAMNED, ABSOLUTE SWINE! I'LL KI..LL...YOu.. sans.." His, rather loud, voice fell to a whisper as his own gaze landed on your form.

His face flushed a nice shade of crimson as his pinprick trailed down your body, watching water slide down your skin.

During this, you took in the sight of his large snake lower half. Ruby red with black scales speckled here and there. Was that.. A pink underbelly?

Unlike him, you hand the decency not to state for too long. After a moment, you rose your hand to cough awkwardly into it as he finally shook himself from his trance.

"HUMAN! I AM THE GREAT AND TERRIBLE VIPER! MY BROTHER HAS BROUGHT ME HERE TO APOLOGIZE FOR TRYING TO ATTACK YOU. HOWEVER, I REFUSE AND HE CANNOT MAKE ME!" He declared, crossing his arms and looking away as his blush started to die down.

Watching him a moment, you outstretched your hand. "Name." You said simply, which made him gaknced at you and then do a double take.

"EXCUSE ME?" He asked, trying, and failing, to mask his tone of confusion.

"Name," You restated. "That's my name, Viper." You shook your hand some, as if to bring his attention back to it as he slowly pulled his own from his pouting and shook yours.

With that, you moved passed him and towards your door.

"HUMAN! WAIT!" He called as you opened the door. "TOMORROW. MIDDAY. JOIN ME FOR SOME TEA." He.. Offered? Ordered? Either way, he was too intimidating to say no.

Centri (Black/SwapFell R)- You ended up meeting him after your tea meeting with Viper, actually.

Walking back from Vipers cave den at the base of the cliffside when something straight up duve bombed you to the ground.

"GOD DAMMIT! IT'S YOU AGAIN! ARE YOU TRYING TO GET YOURSELF KILLED?!" A loud voice yelled at you, making you wince some from the vokume as the weight got off you.

Sitting forward, you were greeted by Feathers, the guy who pushed that very weird skeleton off of you that first night.

"WELL?" He squawked, eyeing you like an upset parent, including crossing his arms as his wings folded behind him.

"I-I.. U-uh-um.." You stammered, looking down. He sighed, pulling you to your feet.

"ARE YOU CURIOUS, COURAGOUS, OR JUST PLAIN STUPUD?" He asked, before continuing without waiting. "NO HUMAN IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD CONSCIOUSLY AND WILLINGLY STAY IN THIS FOREST! I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED HUMANS TO HAVE SOME SENSE, BUT AP-" "Thank you." "-LY YOU- .....WHAT?"

"Thank you." You repeated.

He stared at you a moment, slow to processing this.

"For saving me that night," You elaborated. "I might of died if it weren't for you."

This made a deep blush rise to the surface of his face as his sockets widened and he stammered. Did his wings just puff up?

After he regained himself seeing you laugh a bit, smiling some, he crosses his arms and looked to the side with his sockets closed. "O-OF COURSE! I COULDN'T LET AN I-IDIOT HUMAN LIKE YOURSELF DIE! YOU'VE DONE NOTHING WRONG SO FAR."

Was that a compliment? An insult? Was everyone here confusing?

Monsters were supposed to be evil and bloodthirsty.. Well, Viper did try to kill you..

"IT WAS YOUR FAULT." His voice echoed in your head.

He then dropped his stubbornness in his stroked ego and stuck out a hand. "CENTRI. THE GREAT HARPY CENTRI."

Harpy? Weren't harpies all female? And were their wings attatched to their arms? Why were you questioning? Everything was weird and confusing here.

"Name." You responded.

Centri scoffed. "What?" You asked.

"NO TITLE? *SIGH* YOU HUMANS AREN'T ANY FUN. THE MARVELOUS NAME? THE AMUSING NAME? NOTHING?"

You gave him an odd look. "Those make me sound like a kids show magician." You commented, which made him laugh some.

"THE AMUSING NAME IT IS."

"W-what?"

Relib (Mutt/SwapFell R)- Most likely the only -partially normal- one of the group when it comes to meeting him.

You really needed a chill day..

Talie and Envei were constantly trying to get you to explore the far ends of the forest with them. Taif and Mono.. Were pretty chill. But those reptile brothers were constantly on your ass about doing something, agreeing with one and not the other, deciding who's right and who's wrong, who woukd hang at with you at one day and the other.

They were exhausting, and it was hard for you to say no to them, especially being new neighbors.

So, when you heard a knock on the door, you groaned some, sinking into your chair before the sound of the knock and outside processed. Quiet. Both of them. The knock was shaky, quiet, and the sound from your porch was.. Silent.

Standing, you approached the door and slowly opened it, revealing a.. Tall skeleton monster.

Gee, really narrows that down. But, this one had.. Two tails? And.. Ears? Was that a gypsy outfit?

The monster, upon realizing the door wss open, squeaked some as he straightened his posture. His fave was also flushed a rusty color..

"Hello?" You said after a moment, which made him jolt some before thrusting a thermos your way.

"H-here! Coffee!"

Taking the thermos, since there was seemingly no other option. "Thanks..?" What a strange fellow..

After you two stood there a moment, he finally seemes to break his awkward and tense shell. "I'm Relib!" He stated, pushing his hand to you to shake, which you did.

"Name," You replied, watching as he visibly relaxed.

"S-sorry.. I-its just.. I haven't seen anyone new around here in.. A while.." He managed out through a quiet voice as he fiddled with his hands, looking down at them. Aw.. His ears even folded down..

"It's fine, Relib. Why not come in?" You offered, to which he seemed surprised, before shaking nodding and giving a small smile.

Inten (Crooks/Horror)- Probably the most energetic out of all of them. And the most sudden heart attack you've ever had from shock.

You had just been walking in the forest, exploring, when suddenly you were in the arms of someone with wind rushing passed you.

Disoriented, you ended up looking down.. Only to see forest hundreds of yards below..

Squeaking, you clung onto whiever had you tightly as you finally processed them laughing and cheering.

"I've Caught A Human! Yes! Human!" The male voice cheered down to you, making you look up from clinging to him as he processed your scared look and his excited expression left to concern then sympathy as he.. Dive bombed down towards the ground before opening his large, black wings and flying through the trees.

"Better Human?" He asked, to which you nodded some, body tense from the stranger that just picked you up and took you so far high you felt like death and swooped down and carried you away.

It was then he came to his senses. "Oh! My Apologies, Human! I Could Have Thought Ren Had Killed You The Other Night.. Oh Well, Must Have Been Someone Else." His words.. Did not appease your spinning mind.

"Oh! I'm Inten! The Great Inten!" He introduced, landing on the forest floor as he switched to holding you bridal style instead of by the waust to his body. "So, Human. What Shall We Call You?"

"N-Name.." You manage, still dizzy from the suddeness of what's happened.

"Name.. Hm.. I Like It! Now. Would You Like Some Cookies?"

Ren (Axe/Horror)- It's.. Unconventional..

You honestly just wanted a calm night.. A relaxing weekend.. But every night a large creature was peering through the windows, scratching at doors or even trying to scale walls.

It was terrifying to say the least. And Mono just told you to stay inside and ignore it. It wasn't anything that could break in.

It always seemed like he was lying.. He said before he was to protect the land and the grounds owner, but he seemed to just tell you moments too late or just half hearted advice of safety, like he couldn't care if you died or not.

Then again you were a grown person and that was just anorher unnecessary chore added to his.

Well, after a few night you decides to hang out in the oorch and just admire the stars above from the porch. You never saw them in the city, and it was mesmerizing. Maybe that's why you nearly screamed at the creeping figure slowly climbing over the side of your porches banister and closing in on you.

Instinctively, you bolted for the door, but that snapped the large, large creature from their trance and pouncing on you as a scream tore from your throat.

This was it.. You were a deadman.. A goner..

Well.. Not exactly.

As you bid the world farewell, you felt a face pressed into your neck, giving in because there was no way this amount of strength could be broken from.

Well.. Death wasn't exactly in the near future.

Yes, a face was buried in between your neck and shoulder and a massive weight was on you, but.. No teeth sunk in, or claws drew lines down your body.

Instead, you heard a deep inhale and the weight of whoever was on you lessened as they relaxed.

Your fave flushed as your mouth released a squeak as a tongue licmed at your skin and a fluffy mass swept over your legs, which made a deep.. Purr? Growl? Chuckle..? Escape the beings throat as boney hands grabbed your shoulders as whoever this was sat up and held your -in comparison- tiny figure to their chest.

Looking up, you saw it was the same skeleton that attacked you up on the cliff side the first night, skull opening and all.

At seeing you look up to his face, a small grin broke across his face and his large eyelight softened as he nuzzled his nasal into your head.

Only seconds later did you see Mono, Al, Viper, Domni, and Inten appearing in the clearing with varying looks of concern on their faces that quickly melted to shock at your state.

A small human wrapped in the bulky arms of one of- scratch that! The most dangerous and unstable monster in these forests that seemed to just melt from that normally snarling and absolutely feral werewolf.

When you reached towards your friend group as a silent plea for help, Al stepping forward with immediately made the skeleton holding you snap his hesd up as his single eae folded back and he bared his sharp teeth while tightening his already strong grip around you, threatening anyone that got closer.

Al got the message and tool two steps back, which made the wolf holding you turn away some.

"Brother!" Inten suddenly gasped, as if processing finally what's happened. "What Are You Doing?" He asked, partially exasperated as he approaches the living prison holding your frame without a hostile wanting this time.

When Inten tries to reach for you, his brother only tugged you away and wrapped his large around around you more while hunching over, before lifting his shirt and pushing you into his ribcage and even zipping up the puffy jacket he wore to ensure your stuck.

"Brother! You Can't Just Keep That Human!" Inten scolded lightly, his vocie muffled by the barriers.

It was pretty warm in here.. And oddly comfortable.. But.. A red light illuminated the area. Looking up, a floating heart was above, cracked. Something told you not to touch the heart at all.

"HUMAN! WE'LL GET YOU OUT SOON!" Vipers loud vocie called from afar.

"We'll Have To Wait All Night Now.." Inten huffed.

"Dammit Ren.." Mono's voice came, a harsh, barely mutter.

Creature- Lamia

Element- Fire + Space.

Fire elements are very hard working, protective for what they care about, have a strong leadership, are passionate in what they do and love, aggressive, well centered minds, and a keen intuition.

Space elements hold a love a cleanliness, not that sympathetic, over thinkers with big ambitions. They adore honesty and a light mind and soul.

Shared traits-

Lamia are solitary creatures, and ill-tempered, contrasting Naga who are calmer and tribal/group oriented. Naga are extremely prideful with an alluring aura from their beauty. They believe themselves superior, arrogant, and somewhat disdainful, having short tempers. Despite this, they are curious and wisdom seeking. They are protective over what they consider theirs. While they aren’t evil, they are known to cause harm to humans who show intolerance and hostility to the race.

_______________________________

A slim, yet bulky boi. 7'11, 241.3 when resting on his tail, but fully 13'11, 424.2, in full length from skull to tailtip.

Viper has fangs, which he loves to show off.

Vipers snake half is a red tree viper.

Above his sockets are small hoods, and the black lines going to his cheekbones.

His tail scales can be raised to puff up and appear bigger, but when stroked back down his tail tip (which fades to black) wraps lightly around your wrist.

About scales, he has some decorating his body. His spine, arms, a few on his scarred up chest, and even some on the sides of his sockets.

The underside of his tail is a light gray with pink speckles. Don't point them out. He gets embarrassed.

He doesn't really wear a shirt, but when he does, it's his uniforms battle body top. The black cropped tee shirt which has a golden ring that hooks across the chest to the other side.

But, he near always wears his scarf.

Powers- 

Thick scales- Naga are incredibly strong, baring thick scales.

Agility- Despite the large and broad structure, they are very agile and quick beings.

Storm manipulation- These serpentine creatures are known for their control over rain, and ability to cause floods and droughts. Despite this, Viper has an opposite ability. He, instead of controlling rain, holds the ability to camouflage into vegetation when the sun hits his scales.

Weaknesses-

Human?- Some Naga are known to transform to human, but this is the work of loony people wishing to slander the races name or are on something.

Venom- He's capable of more than one, but he has a favorite. He's softer than he looks, so he uses a pain number. He doesn't like seeing most in pain unless they've done something he deems unforgivable.

Silver daggers- Being stabbed by one can be lethal.

Rosemary, salt, fire- In this order, being covered in can kill them.

Personality-

Viper isn’t a social monster, unless with those close to him. Otherwise, he’s as prickly and dangerous as his fangs.

However, if he knows you, he’s much more relaxed and his guard is half down. He grew up in a bad area, what could he say? You couldn’t stay calm for more than a moment before getting ambushed.

This also mean that, if you get vulnerable around him, he gets very protective and must stay close to you and will keep you safe, hissing at anyone who gets in his sight or growling at any sudden noise.

He’s actually very insecure and scared. Not of anything outside, but of himself. He knows he can do some serious damage to you, so he’s always reluctant to touch or get near you.

Backstory-

Envei (Berry) (En-v-ay)

Creature- (Lionfish) Siren

Element- Earth + Wind. Earth elements strive to keep peace, keeping things calm, hard work, are rather practical, keep others in mind, and like to pull things together. I picture Envei like this because he loves doing the best he can, keeping things a positive neutral as to not disrupt any serenity, a key point to others plans or ideas, and adores his ideas fitting together perfectly and smoothly.

Shared traits-

Sirens will draw prey in through a deceiving song, but will go after said prey if the song doesn’t work. Envei, however, is different. He will draw people in with flattery, but will send a song if the friend tries to leave for a long amount of time or he isn’t ready to have them leave.

This has led him to drowning and nearly drowning. He doesn’t mean to, he promises! He just.. doesn’t want someone he cares about to leave him.

Unlike his feral siren groups, Envei is able to keep his hunger under control with mainly fish and cooked mammals, occasionally fruits for any nutrition he can’t get from his typical diet.

_______________________________

Envei, if with legs would four inches taller, one, but with his tail he’s two feet and one inch.

He has lionfish spines going from his spine fown to a quarter up from his tailfin to a few inches down from his pelvis.

He has four fins, the upper two larger than the inner two.

Just above his tail fin, on the sides just above, are a fin that flows almost like a mini cape over the actual tail fin part.

On his elbow areas, he has small spines that have membrane between.

On the aidea of his head he has fins wjere his ears would be.

He has sharper teeth, which he tries to hide due to wanting to look softer and more approachable.

His pinpricks are a nice blue glow with a small gold slit to the inside.

Powers-

Song- Envei does have a song, but he uses it for last because he wants to win friends over the right way, but he can loose control between wanting to sing normally and going to his sirens song.

Waters- Envei is a deep sea siren, so he works better in dark areas or pressured water, having night vision.

Underwater- Due to being a water based creature and a skeleton, he can, of course breath underwater and speak.

Telepathy- While he does have the power to read minds, he does his best to stay out of peoples heads.

Heart Storm- Has the ability to cause storms, but this only happens when he’s throwing a major fit over something.

Venom- Instead of venom in his pines, he has a sort of aphrodisiac. His canines have actual venom he could use, but tries not to.

Weaknesses-

Mirrors- Mirrors show their true form.

Bronze daggers- Getting stabbed by a bronze dagger is a nasty wound on it’s own. but if it’s coated with the blood of a victim becomes lethal.

Terrestrial- Being a water based creature, being out of water for a long while can cause him to become dehydrated and could end up with him dead.

Venom- He doesn't like to use his venom stuff, unless someone attacks his friends or prey.

Personality-

While Envei may seem like a brat, he honestly isn’t. He's just very clingy. The doesn't like seeing people close to him disappear.

While he may seem precious and happy on the outside, he still has a storm inside that rages. This adds to his want of others to be happy, not wanting them to feel the cold, burning anger that he deals with.

Envei is a rather protective being. He will allow tether, but he’s still a pretty defensive little creature. If he thinks you’ll be in danger and -even after he tries to convince you to not go do what you want to- will pout, begrudgingly giving you suggestions of safety precautions to encourage you from getting hurt.

He’s also a jealous type. If he likes you and sees you with someone else being lovey dovey, he’ll subtly pout, turning his head away.

Otherwise, he's a very sweet and eccentric monster. He just wants others to be happy and safe, hoping that it could happen at some point.

However, this isn't to say he's completely childish andin innocent.

If he strikes an interest in a one night stand, or as a mate after a period, he flips his charm on and start flirting and teasing the other he was infatuated with.

Backstory- 

Creature- Gargoyle

Element- Shadow + Air. Gargoyles are said to be water for their aqua bending, or fire for the fire breathing, but some may say wind for flight or possibly earth from the material their base is made of. I chose a fifth element because a) they prefer the dark and like to stay seen as unmoving and lifeless. And b) shadow elements are often seen as feared simply because little to no one knows what hidden inside, much like how Mono is feared because he’s a  big scary stone skeleton with no seen emotions who just wants to nap but is actually very expressive and gentle.

Air is also in here due to him liking being useful for others, being a low tolerant monster for high pride, easy to please, and rather a cooperative peacemaker rather than fighter unless provoked.

Due to his mental/emotional distance to everyone, he’s often seen as someone who hates being around others, and hates others in general, despite it being the exact opposite.

Shared Traits-

Gargoyles are seen as protectors of a household and divert. They are speculated to be evil but also good, so it’s hard to tell. They will only show their lifelines to someone they deeply trust, but their ‘dormant’ state is one where they will sit back and observe. Deeply protective of what they care about but are lax -usually. They like playing light jokes but can have a temper, so be careful if you cross one.

Gargoyles can only speak if rain water flows through their mouths, but Mono can speak with it isn’t raining, but his voice is much more raspy and he usually has a flask with him filled with water to help his throat. His regular voice is a soothing deep, flowing, rich sound.

Despite being made of stone, he can relax his body and the hard cold stone becomes smooth and soft, more flexible and less rigid.

_______________________________

Mono is eleven inches taller than you, but hunches to deal with his emotions and the weight of his large wings, which are chipping at the edges from years of abuse from himself and others. 

He has ram like horns on the area two inches above where ears would be if he were human or a humanoid. Ones end point has been taken off with a crack going along the bottom curve of his horn.

He has drooping sockets with a faint blue glow to them. Whenever he is awake, he has light freckles on his cheeks, which grow brighter when he expresses large amounts of magic. So, if he shows off to you, expect adorable freckles on his cheeks to glow like stars as he gives a dorkish grin.

He doesn’t wear clothes that often, except for a tattered cloth of medical scrubs. Give him a soft jacket or sweater and he’ll be in awe.

Powers-

Fire breath- Able to breath sparks of fire due to lack of use of the element and in such a flammable area. Speaking of his fire, his upper chest and throat are the warmest parts of his body from containing a soul and holding the magic able to produce fire.

Water Manipulation- Able to manipulate water to his will. Must be surrounding water and not air humidity.

Flight- His power of flight/his wings are his best used attribute after having to fly around to break up fights, gather items, ensure water flow isn’t blocked  with his brother.

Immortality- Gargoyles are immune to time and aging, and cannot get sick like normal monsters. They are also immortal, but not invincible. They can be cracked, shattered, and broken, as well as dismembered.

Weaknesses-

Light Sensitivity- Due to being a more nighttime personality, and having insomnia, Mono’s sight isn’t that well in bright light.

Tether- Gargoyles cannot leave the land they are stationed at and guarding. If they try, they’ll be overtaken y instinct and black out, only finding themselves back at the house they guard.

Anxiety- Mono has high anxiety and trust issues, so he finds it hard to get attached to people, as a lot of people have tried to break him, calling him ‘scary’ ‘evil’ or ‘unwelcoming’.

Personality-

Mono isn’t that emotion projecting as his based counterpart, if at all. Only those close to him get to notice the small upward twitches of the corner of his jaw up. He’s good at keeping a cool head from having to regulate the territory disputes with the other brothers and stop fights with Ren with others, the reptilian brothers always bickering, and helping present the aquatic duo of them with rivers to help replenish the forest and held the siren and kraken move around.

Mono can be a very sweet guy, however. His love language is gifts and words of affirmation, so he’ll be sure to present his S/O with small gifts and notes, giving shows to them at night with his powers. Will blush a beautiful sapphire if he sees his S/O with a gift or quoting things he’s sent their way. Gets so bashful if it’s brought up.

He’s a basical standoffish emo kid who is internally big soft, cheerful, and easy to fluster with a tiny hint of theater kid to him.

Mono, however, has PTSD, depression, and anxiety from the war he witnessed at a young age, loosing his father mentally and then physically, having children put his life on repeat, and the fear that Frisk would do the same. He’s been joked with about should have been a sloth monster instead of what he is due to his constant sleeping habits, which set in and made him think no one likes him the way he is and made him want to change himself. When this failed, he did the next best thing. Become distant. Mono really needs validation of any form, so please be gentle with him. He does have a thick shell, but it's very cracked.

Backstory-

Mono can only really remember waking up one day after fleeing with his brother, hearing Frisks cries from inside the house he is bound to. He tried his best to get inside, but he isn't allowed in unless he has direct contact with the house owner who is/was recently in possession of the key that unlocks the house.
