Halloween Puppies!!! [CLOSED]

OOC Name: TrenRanu

Litter Choice: 1st choice Medusa x Ignis

Character name: REDRUM (MURDER spelled backwards)

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Design/Appearance:

Quote: This is a character/design I wanted to bring in eventually- but I thought he would fit perfectly as one of these pups! And I’d love to have the development from being born on site and having family too!

Redrum has a rather striking appearance, a unique combination of red fur covers him from head to toe. The red consists of varying shades, with beige underfur mitigating his almost entirely vermilion body. Accentuating this eye-catching coat are prominent red stripes cutting through the lighter shade of crimson across his body. His face is adorned with intricately curving markings below his eyes as well as his muzzle. Redrum often displays a wicked smile full of mischief and mirth upon his lips.
His most captivating feature next in line must be his eyes; golden of color, which hold small fleckings of green within them. His eyes are intense, perceptive, and predatory.

His ears are also notably distinct, being unusually long and capable of standing straight atop his head.

Quote: Some of his art may have an elongated tail, but this is not an accurate feature of his here on Ardent.

Mutations/disabilities: Elongated ears
Personality:

Quote: He will have Schizoaffective disorder, a similar disorder to Schizophrenia but with a mood disorder like bipolar disorder thrown in. This will become apparent as he reaches the mid-point of his adolescence. As a child and juvenile there will mostly only be glimpses/episodes of his disorder which will grow in number and become more frequent.

Hedonistic
He is afflicted with an insatiable thirst for pleasure. Self-indulgence courses through his veins, setting the stage for a life steeped in impulsive pursuits. He does not care for the people he hurts in the process, he only cares for the resulting gratification he will experience. Redrum is very deliberate and calculated in this way, each step he takes designed to inflict the maximum amount of terror/pain/hate/even love from others and even himself. If he becomes hungry, it’s only a matter of deciding what he wants from someone, or what he wants to feel, before he makes his first move to get it.

Impulsive
Whimsy becomes his wild companion, a double-edged sword that defines his every move. Unburdened by the shackles of restraint, he teeters on the edge of insanity, allowing flights of fancy to guide his path. Consequences be damned, for his world is built upon the spontaneity of the moment, leaving bystanders spellbound and bewildered by the chaos he effortlessly weaves in his wake.

His chaotic soul drives him to seek out any desires, impulses he might have- to revel in his, at times, monstrous identity. He is devoted to his delights - but that's not to say his urges are wicked ones.

Some of his impulses are entirely pure; such as wanting to take a dive off a cliff for the rush for it, though others may be a new manipulation serving a greater purpose instead. (Ex: Showering someone with love so they do what he wants them to.)

Mischievous
Mischief becomes an art form in the hands of Redrum. Armed with an irreverent sense of humor and a devilish glint in his eyes, he revels in the joy of disrupting the monotony of life more than anything. His escapades are masterpieces of calculated chaos, forever etching his name into the minds of those he affects. Often- it is a coin toss as to what manner of antics he will engage in. Good or bad. Devious or capricious. He is a problem child- but perhaps there is a deeper affliction to be discovered.

Charming
Confidence, like an ethereal cloak, drapes elegantly over Redrum's shoulders, radiating a strange allure. His unwavering self-assurance lends him an air of magnetism, drawing people into his orbit like an irresistible gravitational pull. He uses this ability to control, manipulate, and make sure you only see what he wants you to see. Though more often than not he tires quickly of keeping up with his lies- which is when you may see who he truly is.

Isolated
Vulnerability manifests in subtle ways, in moments of introspection and insecurity -hidden from prying eyes. Behind his mask of mischief and hedonism, he seeks solace, yearning for someone to see him as he is and accept him as no one else has. (At least that's what he thinks.) Yet, fear and a distorted perception of himself keeps him isolated in ways that only the most perceptive may glimpse. The reason for this is Redrum has Schizoaffective disorder which distorts all of his thinking and some of his emotions. It can lead to delusions, hallucinations, mania, mood swings, depression, impulsivity, and thought disorder.

Obsessive
Redrum is capable of making profound bonds. Though you may want to enter into his circle with thick skin to combat his mayhem. He becomes what you need him to be- a protector, a shield, a violent monster with the purpose of keeping his beloved ones safe. But his actions can remain selfish, driven by the need to possess despite any affections he holds for you. The subjects who find themselves under his loving gaze may only find harmful codependency here, he is not for the fainthearted.

Skills: Fighting & Hunting (Juggernaut & Mangler)

Potential plots?:

• First of all I would love to see how I can develop him ICly, I love playing puppies so I can slowly feel out who they are and build a solid personality before adulthood.
  
• I would want to see how he fits in with his siblings being that he is so wholly hedonistic, as well as seeing if he butts heads with his mother or is properly put in his place. (Mostly because he may engage in dangerous acts of being a thrill junkie)
  
• It would be cool to see if he either stays with Insomnia or leaves eventually, I have no idea. Though I'm sure that's a long while away. And would have to have an IC reason
  
• Finding some codependent/unhealthy relationships!
  
• Developing his personality as well as his disorder is a huge point for me that I'd love to play out in post!
  
• Possibly have some sort of IC event cause his mental illness(or worsen it) maybe some trauma as a child so that Medusa will have a particularly soft spot for him
