Saxon Riddick Viano |
General Nickname: He calls himself Saski most of the time, but he really doesn't care if someone comes up with another nickname for him. He responds to almost anything. Age: 18 Date of Birth: November 19th Gender: male Species: corrupted human Dimension: random thing I’ll come up with a name for later. XD Appearance link||link The actual picture that took me two days, and then a little doodle where he's easier to see XD Saxon used to be a normal human boy, so more-or-less resembles one in basic shape, though a few major differences exist; first, his eyes are sunken and solid black, except for a brightly glowing, neon pink pupil that changes to red if he gets exceptionally angry. He tends to keep his eyes wide open, and rarely blinks. He is also deathly pale, with corrupt manifest on his skin, almost resembling an inky black rash that crops up in patches all over his body, particularly his face and neck, centering largely around his eyes and mouth, and his hands are almost solid black. His hair is also unusual in both shape and color; it is dark purple with thin, pale violet streaks. It is parted to his far right, just above his ear, and lays towards his left, though it is noticeably messy and sticks up quite a bit. He also has four long strips over his right eye, and a long tuft in the middle of his forehead. Another difference is that he is unnaturally tall and skinny. His neck and limbs in particular are very long, and his rib cage, spine and hip bones are visible through his skin. A few more minor things that his corruption has given him are pointed ears and sharp claws. His teeth are jagged and dangerous, almost looking broken or chipped. His tongue and the inside of his mouth are also completely black, and although he doesn’t show it that often, his tongue is quite long. Also, his blood glows in the dark, the same color as his eyes, and if he cuts himself, it can almost be used as a light source. He usually wears one outfit; a dark purple t-shirt, light gray leggings, socks, and a dark teal coat with a pale orange inner lining that is almost more of a robe, though it ends just below his hips. The sleeves are far too big though, indicating that it may have been altered at some point. They fall way past his hands and tend to bunch at his elbows when his arms are raised or bent. He also wears dark green gloves, mostly as a precaution against hurting himself with his claws. His corruption has also given him the ability to gain insect-like body parts. He often just lets it happen at random, especially when he’s tired, or not completely in charge of his facilities, but he usually has pretty good control of it. While the most noticeable parts come and go; wings, antennae, spider-like extra limbs, etc., he almost always has small beetle-like legs or pinchers up the sides of his neck, or just under his chin. Personality The corruption has not only drastically warped Saxon’s appearance, but his mind as well. Though he’s, for the most part, harmless, he often comes across as very insane, mostly as a consequence of his bizarre speech patterns, love of insects and dark, damp places, and his minor obsession with teeth. Despite this, he is actually quite friendly and sweet, though often slightly hesitant around strangers. He could almost be mistaken for being drunk most of the time, if one hasn’t heard him speak, mainly due to him often having a wide, slightly blank smile on his face, and his tendency to sway back and forth and constantly shift his weight while standing on his human feet. He frequently tips to one side or the other, and rarely stands up straight, though it’s very uncommon that he actually loses his balance. Also contributing to this is the fact that he always seems to be blushing slightly. He has a very odd way of speaking. His speech patterns are almost formal, but he tends to use a lot of unnecessary words, and more often than not, refers to everyone in the third person, himself included, regardless of if they’re present or not. This is not an exclusive rule, however. He does it more in reference to other people, though he occasionally uses his name interchangeably with personal pronouns. He also tends to use people’s full titles if he knows them, or else will just refer to someone with ‘sir, mister, miss, misses etc’ in front of their first name. A lot of the time, he also uses peoples’ names or titles where others would probably use a pronoun, and for some reason, especially avoids the word ‘you’. His sentences in general tend to be needlessly long and complex in structure. Only adding to his strangeness is his voice, which is high-pitched and throaty, almost seeming to reverberate from within him, creating an echo-y sort of effect. His tendency to hold certain syllables, particularly ‘s’, ‘h’ and ‘a’ sounds, and occasionally roll his ‘r’s, makes everything he says sound almost hissed or purred. He also tends to make insect-esque noises, such as hisses and clicks. He most frequently makes little chirping noises when he’s happy. His obsession with insects, and his inherent loneliness have caused him to take in quite a few, and he has several that he keeps around his small house almost as pets. He loves all insects and bugs, though he tends to favour spiders and large beetles. He also likes scorpions, and would take one in if he could find one. Likes

While the above-ground forests are more colorful and lively, almost more of a paradise, the underground forests are known for being dangerous and unforgiving in both terrain and inhabitants. Though they also have a hidden danger; corruption. If one is poisoned by an animal or noxious plant in the underground forests, and aren’t treated quickly enough, they become corrupted. The corrupted are easily identified by their warped bodies and minds, and although the specific mutations can vary depending on the person and circumstances, they all share the ‘corrupt manifest’; inky black rash-like patches on their skin. Saxon was raised in a small village in an underground forest in a time of war between the underground society and the ‘uplanders’; those who lived on the surface, and so was raised to hate them. He was also shy, and didn’t take part in much activity with the other children, becoming somewhat of an outcast. This, and his well-known fascination with insects, made him sort of a pariah, and a target of frequent, malicious bullying, to the point that one day, while he was out by himself, studying a strange bug he had found, he was followed by a group of kids his age, who had had the intent of messing with him, though their ‘prank’ went too far, and it ended with Saxon falling into a river and being knocked unconscious. The kids fled, believing him to have died. Saxon was unconscious for a few days, eventually waking to find that he had been poisoned at some point, and had already begun to mutate. He noticed he was considerably skinnier than before, and his hair had changed color from brown to purple. Additionally, he was beginning to develop patches of corrupt manifest. He started trying to find his way home, but due to hitting his head when he fell in the river, he only succeeded in getting very lost. He did, however, stumble across an abandoned building, and chose to hide in it. Days passed, and by the time he was up for trying to find his way home again, he was beyond help. His eyes had changed, he had grown claws, he had rapidly grown taller, and his teeth had started to fall out, being replaced with long, jagged ones. Besides this, his mind had begun to fall into the corruption as well, and he was losing more and more memory, and falling further and further into the corruption’s trademark insanity. This is where his teeth obsession stemmed from. One morning he woke up on the floor of his shack, and was randomly fascinated with the pile of teeth in front of him. He ended up keeping his human teeth on a string suspended between two nails in the wall of his home. It was still a few days before the insects started coming. After living alone in his shack for a little over what he guessed was a month, he noticed all manner of bugs taking up residence in his home, and following him around. He didn’t mind, of course. He had always liked bugs, and through his loneliness and insanity, he began talking to them, eventually growing to consider them more as pets, even giving them names, and trying to train and care for them. It was still another month before the corruption fully set in. Now he has become like his bugs, able to gain their features at will or at random, and use their abilities. He remembers almost nothing of his previous life; only small, basic things like his name, age and birthday, as well as his inherent hatred for Uplanders. He has also grown very protective of his bugs, and fights to defend them. If he happens to kill an animal that was hunting them, or even him, he takes its teeth and adds them to his string.
