Ink

“NOOOO, I DON’T JUST WANT TO SEE HIM GO TO HELL, I WANT TO PERSONALLY ESCORT HIM TO THE TENTH RING MYSELF!!!!!”
-Ink after someone brings him the most sugarcoated and relevant criticism ever.
== Personality ==
Ink is as insufferable as it comes. He is an narcissistic asshole who thinks that he is above all criticism. If ever met with the most menial of backlash or opposition, he will absolutely flip his shit and have a mental breakdown. Also, as his shirt implies, he hates women, mainly because they don’t like him…go figure. Ink gets along with essentially nobody as his entire personality is just a stuck up ball of rage who has a tantrum whenever someone disagrees with him on the smallest thing.
This, however, is a front. Like all unspeakables, he puts up an incompetent front just so no one suspects what he really is. Although he truly does have anger issues, he’s much more intelligent than he gives off. Under all of that uncontrolled narcissism is secretly a manipulative monster who is much more meticulous than first though of. He is very secretive and refused to let even his coworkers know what he was during Season 1.
== Appearance ==
Ink is a very very frail skeleton. Sure, skeletons are already pretty skinny, but lord have mercy, his legs are literal sticks. He hardly even has a rib cage or arms. His largest feature is his mouth, which is always opened comically wide like a soyjak. Inside his mouth are yellowed, disgusting teeth that are bent out of shape. Ink wears a pair of black glasses that always fall off due to how much he rants and raves. He always has ink blotches on his face that he refuses to wipe off because “INK IS THE GREATEST THING EVER, YOU NEED TO HAVE IT ON OR YOU’RE INKPHOBIC.” Despite being a skeleton, he somehow has a neckbeard
His usually attire is a gray shirt that says “I hate women” on it. He wears dark lavender shorts and a purple beanie on his head. Lastly, he wears a dark purple scarf stained with ink around his neck, usually obscuring his neckbeard.
== Backstory ==
Ink was one of the many unspeakables that came from Azathoth. Long ago, when there was nothing but chaos, their reign on existence was the undefeated. Uncountable people would fall trying ensure that their worlds would be saved from destruction. When all seemed hopeless however, a hero would appear. Beowulf, father of Error, vanquished Azathoth and his ranks using the power of the golden bone. Azathoth fell from his glory, and so did his children. After millennia had passed, Azathoth had reawakened (particularly around the beginning of season 1, how inconvenient) and rounded up his children. All that came to his side however was Cthulhu and Macula, and Macula was the only one who could sustain himself. Meanwhile, Cthulhu needed sacrifices and then a vessel (Jasús) to sustain himself. 
Macula predicted his father’s return, so he wanted to make him pleased before he even returned. He reincarnated and assumed the false identity of Ink. Using this new identity, he constantly tried to ruin the life of Error. He couldn’t outright kill error mainly because it’d give away his false identity, so he instead tried his damnedest to make his life so miserable that he’d never think of being a hero. Gr would become his worst enemy in preschool, elementary school, middle school, high school- wait actually, let me stop there. Something important happened in high school. Ink, whenever he saw Error become more upstanding and honestly heroic, he lost it. He sent Error to the Backrooms, where his nephew, The Gentleman of Level 5 (son of Cthulhu), was. He could have error dealt with AND not risk his identity being leaked. To him, it seemed like the best of both worlds. Just to make sure that error would be even more crushed should he ever return, he used his mental manipulation magic to make Error’s girlfriend fall for him. 
That Backrooms thing didn’t quite work out as expected for Ink, however. In fact, it went HORRIBLY for him. Error rip and tore through the Backrooms, slaughtering any malicious beast that declared itself a god or anything more than just a vicious monster. Not even his nephew was spared, causing Error to unknowingly have the powers of an unspeakable. He freed the entire Backrooms from all that was dangerous; he was the hero that Ink tried so hard to get him not to be.
In a fit of pure wrath, Ink destroyed EVERYTHING on Error’s world. He destroyed his friends, his town, his house, the world itself, everything…except for his girlfriend, who he threw into the Chaos Void. Error was devastated and tried to kill ink, but considering he didn’t even know he had unspeakable powers, he was bagged. Ink couldn’t kill error however; like his father, he was immortal. Using what little power he had left, error escaped to my mainframe. Ink considered this a victory and decided to continue on as his false identity, taking to making a store where he sold nothing but ink on the ruins of the planet.
Error proved much more persistent than he thought however, returning to his ravaged planet with his newfound Error powers and annihilating Ink. He humbled Macula that day, beating him so badly that he couldn’t even switch into his unspeakable form to win. Error, figuring he got the message across, headed over to a new planet and worked at Dundee Mifflin. He started a new life where he lived a comfortable life in solitude, trying to work up enough funds to afford college.
Ink, in an attempt to salvage his false identity, set up his store far away from Error, where he sold ink and recovered from the fight he lost. Upon Azathoth’s return, Ink was met with no assistance because Azathoth was disappointed. He had become nothing but an expendable to his father, how shameful. Azathoth only allowed for him to partake in his plan when he was literally dragged into it after having met Errrr404, starting his presence in Season 1. Throughout that season, Ink was nothing more than a punching bag that hardly ever won. His presence ended with him blasting off into the cosmos after error punched him with his unspeakable powers.
Ink’s return is planned in Season 2, mainly as a much more intimidating figure, but we haven’t gotten there yet.
== Abilities ==
<tabber>
|-| Ink =
=== The Paintbrush ===
Ink has a comically large paintbrush that doesn’t really do much. Sure, it can infinitely produce ink and be used to smack people with, but consider, for a moment, that most of his enemies are so powerful that being hit by a big paintbrush doesn’t mean shit. I guess something mildly interesting is that he can change the color of his ink to whatever he wants it to be. This weapon was the only reason Error lost that one time.
=== Ink-kinesis ===
Ink can control ink at will and mold it into any shape he wants. This would be more useful if ink did any damage to skeletons. Considering it doesn’t however, this ability or practically useless in the plot.
=== Soy-Consumption Boosts ===
Ink can heal his HP, recover stamina, or even gets stat boosts form drinking soy milk.
=== Immortality ===
Sadly, Ink cannot die.
|-| Macula =
=== The Scourging Brush ===
Whenever revealing his true nature, Ink’s brush becomes something much more brutal. Each strand on his now more eloquent brush has a sharp hook on the end of it. If the hooks don’t happen to just slash through whatever they’re going to, then they’ll most certainly rip whatever they’re hooked to off with nothing but a weak yank.
=== Acidic Ink ===
In his true form, Ink’s acid actually does something…because it’s not ink. It’s actually a very noxious and potent acid that even scathes gods. This ink could be found no where else, mainly because this “ink” is his of his own creation and no one else’s; this ink is what he is made of.
=== Untouchable ===
If you so much as poke ink without him lowering his guard, your hand is falling off.
=== Chromapotence ===
Ink has complete control over the colors around him. This is something ink does to either disorient opponents or to redecorate.
=== Imaginative Will ===
So long as it is below him, ink can bring anything into existence using ink. It cannot be his acid however, it has to be genuine ink, which he cannot produce in this form. All he needs is a droplet of ink to create something however, which is why he carries around a bottle of ink.
=== Teleportation ===
Self Explanatory. For a nice addition however, ink can teleport to anywhere ink or his acid is.
=== Inconsistent form ===
Seeing as Macula is made of an overwhelming, acidic ooze, his form can morph into anything he wants it to be. This allows him to move much faster, tank attacks or cause them to miss, and even disorient his opponents. 
=== Chroma-elemental magic ===
Ink can harness the power of some elements in correspondence to a certain color. That’s right, another color code! I promise this one’s cool tho:
==== Ruby Inferno ====
Fierce red flames that can burn through almost anything.
==== Amber Precipices ====
Large orange precipices of stone that are oddly sharp for what it’s made of.
==== Golden Thunder ====
Yellow bolts of lightning that Malcula emits from its mouth.
==== Jade Ecokinesis ====
Green vines that can grab or whip anything near them. It should be stated that each of these is just control over the implied element in general, I’m just listing how they’re applied as attacks.
==== Sapphire Waves ====
A harsh, blue flood that comes from the hand of macula. The magical flood is able to emulate an entire river in mere seconds with the added danger of large whirlpools and unnaturally powerful waves. 
==== Amethyst Mist ====
A purple, toxic fog settles over the area whenever this ability is used. Normally I associate purple with the mind element (and orange with a technology element, at that) but meh, I’ll change it this once so the abilities for each color could be more interesting.
=== VANTABLACK ===
This is the obligatory final attack of Macula. Macula binds his enemy in place with his acid and then, harnessing the power of dark chroma-elemental magic, summons an appendage that harnesses the energy as a massive blade to slash through his enemy with. 
 
</tabber>
== Relationships ==
=== HAM / Jasús ===
Ink was a worker for HAM for two reasons: 1. He wanted to get revenge on Error, but didn’t have the facilities to do so and 2. Azathoth said so. Ink didn’t really like HAM that much considering he bossed him around, but he was too scared of HAM to buck up to him. After all, HAM was a beast when he was sober. Whenever HAM returned to being Jasús however, Ink didn’t care for him anymore. 
=== MOD ===
MOD was one of Ink’s coworkers. Ink and Mod constantly argued, mainly due to them disagreeing on whether or not Undernet or discord was better. Ink would call him obese, and Mod would call him stickman. The two only seemed to get along whenever they had the opportunity to harass women.
=== Jerma ===
Jerma was another one of Ink’s coworkers. Ink wasn’t the biggest fan of Jerma, mainly because Jerma made it hard for him to continue his incompetent facade. At the same time though, Ink truly respected Jerma more than he did HAM due to his competency. 
=== Betty ===
Betty is the girlfriend of Ink’s boss. Considering she’s a woman, ink hates her…well not actually, facade aside he doesn’t actually hate women, he’s indifferent to them at worst. On the forefront, he was a creep who hit on her then hated her when she rejected him. Truthfully though, he still didn’t like her, but it was for a much more sensical reason: he hated her cowardice. 
=== Malg ===
Malg was “villain gang’s pet” in Season 1. Malg was nothing more than a tool to ink that he would make do things for him…and afterward, it still was, but to a much more competent degree. Come season 2, Malg was loyal to ink and nobody else. Ink cared for Malg so little that it he only fed it once a day. He didn’t care for its safety at all, going as far as to even hit it when it disobeyed him. He would grow to hate the thing whenever it sided with Error.
=== Error ===
Error is the arch nemesis of Ink. Ink hates Error to his very core; he hates him for his bloodline, he hates him for his persistence, and he hates him for his victory of him. Error’s father was the reason Ink’s family fell and Error himself had left him in a weakened state before and during Season 1. No matter what he did, Error just would not stop finding a way to either overwhelm or come back from whatever he did to him. Error was and still is the target of Ink’s true, unmatched wrath since his very birth. 
=== Space Mom ===
Space Mom is the “boss” of Ink in season 2. In reality, the real reason he joined the crew was because his brother, Cthulhu, was there. He views Space Mom as nothing more than a tool for him and his brother to use to get whatever they want considering how stupid she is. Considering it’s actually her glasses that keeps her stupid however, Ink constantly tries to make sure her glasses stay on.
=== Cthulhu ===
Cthulhu is the eldest brother of Ink and the only one Ink was truly connected to. Cthulhu was more of a father to Ink than Azathoth ever was. Cthulhu taught ink how to use his powers, how to be cunning and manipulative, and knowledge in general. Ink is the way he is because of Cthulhu’s influence. At that, Ink has a genuine loyalty and respect for Cthulhu and helped him find ways to recover before the Prologue. The only fork in their relationship is Cthulhu’s loyalty to Azathoth since Cthulhu and Nyarlathotep were only children Azathoth put some level of care into them.
=== Azathoth ===
Azathoth is Ink’s father. Ink was and still is terrified of Azathoth. Azathoth was an awful father to his children, mainly using fear and guilt tripping to get what he wanted from them. Ink was the target of most of Azathoth’s wrathful “parenting” due to him being the weakest. Azathoth hadn’t even taught Ink how to use his powers, he just expected him to learn on his own. Come his defeat in Season 1, Ink was glad his father was gone and tried as hard as he could to convince Cthulhu not to bring Azathoth back.
