#deepseawing

hooo boy, it’s the him! the scrunky!

His name is Angler and he is a deepseawing from the Abysmal Town, where prince Leviathan fled 500 years ago with his partner Lamprey. In fact, Angler is their descendant (just like literally everyone else in the town). And, what’s more, he has animus magic, too! Other than that, he is blind from the moment he had hatched, and extremely selfish.

In his earlier years, Angler also was a lazy spoiled brat who’d expect everyone to love him just because he was an animus. He wouldn’t do much for the town, though, preferring using magic to himself to sneak to the surface and into the Kingdom of the Sea. There, he met two other dragonets and even became friends with them, kinda. But they died because of him later, anyway. But at least it was an accident. Their deaths had an impact on Angler, making him not only an even bigger brat, but also a shut-in. He then left the Abysmal Town by unrelated reasons. By that time he was seven.

When Angler got to the surface and, eventually, to Pyrrhia, he decided to make money by selling dragons his magic. Basically, he would do anything magic-related (and non-related) for a significant price. Since he was an actual animus who was fine with doing any kinds of enchantments (minus murders at first), dragons would come and come, showering Angler with treasurses, eventually driving him into a ridiculous extent of greediness. Young animus then would extend his list of services, now doing anything murder-related. He will later be known as an animus who specializes in murder (he’s fine with that, but the sheer repetitiveness is rather boring. he’d love to create something again sometimes).

Eventually, he got into trouble when he tried to kill a seawing noble. He’s still wanted in the Kingdom of the Sea. He could easily use his magic to get rid of this little problem, but he uses his magic only when he’s paid to. Or when his AnImUs PrIdE is offended. Anyway, he’s not concerned with this enough to use his magic.

His life was rather rutine until the Sandwing War started. He, as expected, didn’t ally himself with anyone and instead killed anyone who he was paid to kill, even more than before the war. And, after a story with Tsunami, many other “lost princesses”started to pop up, some of them even having enough money to hire Angler, whose price list was just ridiculous at this point. But an animus is an animus, so…

Anyway, over the few days after the events of tLH he worked with six “princesses” - Cascade the seawing, Nectarine the rainwing, Chill the icewing (she wasn’t chill…), Sunburn the firescale sandwing, Duck the mudwing (not anymore) and Lizard the sandwing. All of them had annoyed the living hell out of him, so he cursed them in different ways, which, in some cases, had resulted in death.

After the war he had a fine time and later got sought out by a hybrid sandwing who introduced herself as Sandreader, the only daughter of princess Blister. Angler didn’t care, he’ll put up with any bullsh/t as long as he’s getting paid, which Sandreader could do. So they started working together. sandreader didn’t tell Angler much about her plans, usually just paying him to kill or curse dragons. He didn’t care. Anyway, after some time, when Angler noticed, that Sandreader’s underpaying him (the absolute worst crime in Angler’s opinion), he cursed her, too, growing crystals out of her face and arm and leaving her all alone in the desert.

He continued living his average life until Jerboa’s spell. It, obviously, made him upset, but now his copious years of hoarding had come in handy. Now you can say he’s retired.

Additional info:

since blindness is a common disability in the Abysmal Town, their aquatic has been modified to being more “touchy”. Due to this, Angler is perfectly fine with any amount of touches! You can hug him and not get cursed! (But i’ll suggest you to not hug him too much or he’ll try to gain some profit from it, too)

Has a heavy lisp

likes the feeling of silk fabric

he is currently 62 years old

has two dragonets with Siren (they used to be animi, but he deleted their magic, concerned for them growing up to be a replacement for him)

used to be really skinny when he was a kid and gained weight after becoming a hired animus

his teeth were rather small until he was about 14

enchanted the “rod” on his head to track down his targets

since assasinations were all he was tasked with for the majority of his life, he likes to get creative with the ways of killing
