#eris reference

Name: Eris

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Asexual

Species: 2nd generation Vladais (self created species)

Personality: Sadistic, cruel, loves to ‘play’ with her victims. When she was human, she used to be the ‘popular/cool/goth’ girl... that was, until she ‘died’. (See backstory for more) Occasionally, when seeing certain things that trigger her memory (such as fire), she’ll completely ‘lose’ her personality and become more fearful and ‘human’ instead (thus freezing in her tracks and losing her ‘prey’).

Likes: She likes being feared and torturing her victims (usually physiologically). She spends her life surviving and hunting, so... not much, really.

Dislikes: She hates when things don’t go the way she wants to (aka. losing her prey) and... fire. She doesn’t really remember why (most of her memory was wiped when she was ‘turned’) but she’s actually afraid of fire (even though she’d not afraid of much). Oh, and she’s also afraid of/respects the 1st generation Vladais (who turned her).

Powers: Can control dark matter/goop/whatever that is, her claw-hands can float around and do whatever, being half-made-of-whatever-that-is she can kinda change shape, kinda immortal from the effects of time but not physical damage, can withstand a lot of physical damage

Backstory: She was the ‘popular/cool/goth’ girl back at her school when she was human. One day, she decided to get her hair dyed (against her parents’ wishes) at a local salon. Unfortunately, just that day, the 1st generation Vladais (who’s the only one in existence... and I haven’t figured out a name for him yet) decided to hunt in her very hometown. The salon she was in was set on fire, trapping her inside and nearly killing her. Also by coincidence, the 1st generation Vladais (still needs a name) came across the burning building while trying to hunt and decided to search the ruins of the building. He found the badly burnt Eris lying among the wreckage and decided to... uh, eat her. However, when he bit her, he realised that he could turn her. So he decided to not pass up the chance and turned her, while using his abilities to heal her and rebuild her body. (Vladais, as a species, act a bit like vampires and can turn people when they bite them. However, there is a very small chance they will actually turn them as it depends on the person - which means that there are very few Vladais in existence + they don’t appear in the public much as they have a chance of being wiped out. So out of, say, a thousand people, only one could be turned if they were bitten - the others just die/get eaten. Vladais have to feed on any type of meat to survive but their powers increase when they eat humans... so yeah). Her memory was wiped and she was ‘resurrected’ with a completely different personality and hardly any memories. The collar around her neck was placed by the 1st generation Vladais to keep her under his control - being one of his most powerful subjects as she’s mostly made up of matter and not wanting to have his species wiped out - and it glows when he’s sending her commands/messages/whatever. Basically nowadays, she goes around trying to hunt down Otto as she’s discovered that he can be turned as well (she half-turned him but he ran away while she was ‘frozen’ by the sight of fire)... and that’s it for now.

Notes:

- Dark veins creep up her neck as a part of the dark matter/goop thing

- Vladais are a ‘species’ created by me - they are feared among humans+other species alike as they are extremely powerful. However, they can be killed so they don’t appear in the public much to hunt - and they are extremely rare as it’s pretty difficult for one Vladais to find a human that can be turned.

- Traits of Vladais would be control over whatever that dark-matter-goop is and a black sclera. Traits and powers tend to vary

- The ‘1st generation Vladai’ is the only one in existence and still exists - but he remains in hiding as if he were killed, then there wouldn’t be any more 2nd generations created anymore (or something)

- If a 2nd generation turned a human, that human would be a 3rd generation, and so on

Made a new ref for Eris because her old design was just, what??? I was inspired by that art trade piece by jennywilliamsart (and by Gaster from Undertale and Haunter from Pokémon)

Her eyes are usually ‘normal’, but when expressing strong emotion or using magic and stuff, they become the expression on her left. Her cloak is now a dark purple gradient instead of dark blue. Her cloak is kinda part of her body and towards the bottom, it’s just sort of slime and melts into the ground. She doesn’t have actual hands and uses magic claw sort of things to cast spells and stuff. She wears a collar/necklace thing which doesn’t appear to serve much purpose aside from glowing.

She’s not exactly human - she feeds on fear and other unpleasant emotions, hence the name. She’s a type of uncatergotised monster that hunts down people that already have a lot of fear, anger, etc. and kill off their family members before consuming their souls. This species of monster looks to spread its darkness (turned people will become soul/fear-consuming monsters like her) - it’s only lucky that this species is rather rare as they have been hunted down and killed in the past. Traits of a ‘turned’ person are a black sclera, a much colder personality, slime and being able to use magic.
