Bloody Painter, or Helen Otis, at his best is an ill-tempered recluse who sees everything and anything through an artistic lens, and at his worst, he is a violent mass murderer.

Throughout his childhood, he was subjected to verbal and physical harassment by his peers for his gloomy nature and creative outlook, which further pushed him into seclusion. As he breached his teenage years, Helen developed a disorder that not only caused major depressive episodes but also violent hallucinations, which his parents neglected to address. This attracted the attention of The Wrangled, who took advantage of Helen's hallucination and, combined with the resentment he held towards his peers, pushed him to massacre his entire class.

While Helen has always been known to have a bad temper, he does not enjoy hurting people. When lucid, he spends most of his time in solitude, engaging in the arts - sculpting, pottery, painting, drawing, anything that can get him messy, he throws his soul into. Because perhaps the paint can hide the blood on his hands. This escape lasts only until he has another episode, where The Wrangled yet again sends him into a homicidal rage that leads him to disappear for weeks at a time, mutilating any person he comes across into a morbid, gory art piece.

Not much has changed about his appearance in my AU, but a fun trait I included is that he has a lot of grey hair due to how much stress and trauma he's experiencing constantly. Overall, he's quite tall and lanky, yet shrinks himself down to dampen his presence, with dark hair that he lets grow out until someone (Lexi) cuts it for him. He mostly wears dark, muted shades of brown and blue, and all his clothes seem to have paint stains, regardless of how ridiculous the placement is.

Judge Angels, or Dina Clark, is similar to Helen in only one aspect - their hallucinations. Unpredictable and critical nature, most find Dina hard to get along with; however, at her core, she is quite a caring person. When she isn't picking apart and criticising everything you do.

Raised in a nuclear religious family, Dina was kept under extremely strict chaperoning from her father at all times. Never could she do anything without his permission - leave the house, make friends, speak, he didn't even allow her to get up in the morning without his supervision. When she began displaying symptoms of schizophrenia, her father claimed she was possessed and had an "exorcism" performed on her, which in reality was a ten-hour torture session. Through her tears, Dina suddenly saw her saviour, her true god, who told her that if she followed his command, he would take her to the heavens with him. Dina complied, and slaughtered the priest, alongside her father, and fled to the woods, where The Wrangled fulfilled his promise.

Unlike Helen, Dina sees no flaws in what she does and needs no prompting from The Wrangled to kill. She truly believes that she has been assigned as his judge, the one who prosecutes and delivers justice to humanity. All this, while she simultaneously looks down upon the other creeps and proxies, labelling them barbaric and animalistic for acts she is also guilty of. This hypocrisy makes it difficult for her to make and keep friends; however, she gets along well with Helen (platonically), The Puppeteer and Nina.
