t h e y w i l l f i n d h i mVoice Anthony HowellThemesong Infected by Starset__________________IN-DEPTH STUFFPhysical DescriptionMost of the time, Spu waffles between two main faces--Imon, and Shini. Shini is a lithe and slender man who looks not a day over 25, with smooth alabaster skin, jet black hair and angular features that paint him as no less than supermodel material. His eyebrows are thin, face nearly perfectly symmetrical, with neon aqua eyes that glow and flash in the light, slanted upwards with thick and long black lashes.
Spu is of a slightly broader stature, built like a boxing champion and covered head to hoof in short beige fur, with gray scales coated with a light iridescent sheen adorning his back, shoulders and outer thighs. He has a long tail with a brilliant plume of jet black hair springing forth from the tip, which matches the voluminous black mane that adorns his neck; sometimes both tail and mane are adorned with neon pink and lime green highlights. He has no face, his head being merely a skull (which seems to be some kind of cross between a deer and a horse) with two short antlers and two tall, almost rabbit-like ears protruding from his mane. His eye sockets may be empty or filled with the light of two glowing aqua orbs for eyes. His tongue is blue and all of his natural body fluids glow a mixture of UV purple and aqua under certain lighting.
He's currently in the process of expelling the rotting innards of his host's body that are broken down with certain amino acids produced by himself, and either replacing them with the copies that he has started to replicate, or repairing what's there. He's going through "growing pains" as his body, the parasite, grows and stretches to fill the body of his host and fully take it over, which leaves him feeling hyper-sensitive and usually constantly in pain. He regularly excretes a thick viscous black mucus from the various orifices of his body--this is completely natural, the literal secretions that the parasite is pushing out of the old host. So it sometimes looks like he has nose bleeds, or is crying or coughing up blood. To him it's no different than having a runny nose.
Personality On a good day, they can be described as being cold, calculating, frightfully formal or polite, and manipulative. He enjoys playing mind games with people, using his powers and newfound millenia's worth of knowledge of people to play on fears and instigate torture, doing unto others what they have done to him and his people for so many centuries. On a bad day, they tend to be far less willing to converse and much more easily irritable, quick to anger and prone to incredible mood swings.
It is blatantly obvious that Imon is not mentally stable. He has dramatic violent tendencies which can be set off at any time with almost any circumstances; he will not tolerate it if someone acts in a way that displeases him or with intent to attack him and he feels he has done nothing to warrant such action. It's advised to be careful when interacting with him, because while he may look only mildly creepy to some, you haven't even begun to scratch the surface of the rot-infested waters that lie beneath.
Spu is incredibly possessive, and heaven forbid if he ever decides to think that he owns someone or something, because he becomes viciously jealous should anyone ever touch that someone or something, and will immediately spring to fight to protect what he owns without hesitation.
Magic/AbilitiesTelepathy- Spu is capable of communicating telepathically with anyone he so chooses over any distance with zero problems. This is a naturally occurring ability in his species, however it has been amplified with the powers of the host body he has taken over, and when not careful it may sound as if he is yelling inside your head, or there are sharp and painful echoes when he "speaks".
Teleportation- Imon can teleport anywhere he knows and can think of, which is literally
millions of places. However, he's still learning how to control it, and at the moment tries to stick only to short distance jumps while he gets the hang of things. This was originally his host's power, not his own.
Shape shifting- He can shapeshift into any form that he can conjure up in his mind; any creature in the universe. He still has trouble controlling this one and so far can only alternate between a few forms with ease--a bipedal qirin, quadrupedal qirin, and a stunning young man who he knows was at one point named "Shini" when his host was still alive.
And he probably has more powers to come but hasn't figured them out yet!
RelationshipsHistoryTo understand Spu, one must first understand the history of his species.
Where he comes from, his kind are considered the scum and villainy of his local solar system. They are looked down upon, thought of as vile and disgusting creatures, and generally considered to be dangerous and abhorrent pests. They barely manage to scrape by, their home planet having long since been overtaken by invaders, and tend to fend for themselves as best they can; when someone sees a zombie spider, they try to kill it. The only ways to survive are by killing and parasitizing host bodies bigger and stronger than their own to protect themselves. Infection of other creatures is always how they've survived and is a part of their natural life cycle, which is something that many other species find incredibly offensive and morally wrong.
They can't help the way they were created, the way they evolved. It's just how they function.
Many are tired of the treatment but there is little they can do to stop it; little they can do to organize when so many are spread across the galaxy with no way of uniting to fight for any kind of rights or a cause.
Spu has been planning his revenge for a long time, waiting for the opportune moment to seize the right kind of body that would grant him the kind of power that he needed; and when he saw his chance he took it.
Spu's current host body is that of a Qirin, an ancient and sacred being with untold powers and knowledge of the universe. And he has every intention of using this body, now that its powers have been passed onto him in ways he never could have imagined, to remedy the curse of his kind and extract his revenge on the universe that dealt them such an unwarranted cruel life.
But first he has to figure out how to use it. And so far that's proving to be the tricky part.
As soon as he infected his host body and killed the Qirin itself, the eyes of the universe all turned to him, and now he's on the run--a criminal to the highest degree, having caused a major ripple in the fabric of fate, space and time, and every being in charge of the universe is after him to stop what he's about to do. And yet, something is... Off. The Qirin is dead and yet it isn't. The soul of the creature seems to haunt This One, saying over and over that it forgives it and understands yet the guilt of murdering something so pure for personal gain continues to eat at Imon night and day. It sees flickers of visions of the original Qirin in its peripherals, and hears his whispers of kindness in the dark.
It's a strange feeling to wrap his head around, controlling this mythical body yet sharing it still with the original somewhere deep inside, and he's still reeling with the aftereffects, and will be for the next few years as he slowly takes over his host body to completion and learns how to manage control when he bit off more than he could chew.
It'll all be worth it, in the end.
Quick notes-Imon is mainly meant as a horror character though I may throw in some comedy with him bc it's me and I can't not, but I want to stress that he is severely unpredictable, violent, and gory. Most if not all of his threads will have an M rating, so if you'd like to plot with him consider this your warning. :v
