## Appearances

### Appeared In

*Station 8040*, *The Paradox Must Die*

**Paradox**, more commonly known by his underlings as **Helly** or by the extended planet of Jovia as **The Paradox Demon**, is an adult male Helicopter Jovian who was the former leader of the Dark Forest clan before his curse issued by Chardonnay to become a rescuer situated on the neighbouring planet of Khalida, being forced to work in several Rescue Teams alongside other monsters in an attempt of redeeming himself after creating the Scourge of Paradox, a magical disease that almost wiped out the entirety of Jovia.

He is the main protagonist (and antagonist, in his true form) of *Station 8040* and the central antagonist of *The Paradox Must Die*, along with the other Jovian tales.

## Personality

Paradox comes off as a cheery, joyful and energetic being, especially around his clan or new faces. He's outgoing, peppy and friendly, being the type to always see the glass half full, though he can quickly switch to realism when the situation gets serious. He loves to meet new faces and experience new things, having a knack for adventure. He's creative, energetic and fun to be around, if you can keep up with him, though.

However, underneath the surface, Paradox won't appear to be as nice as he seemed on the outside. He's a master of trickery and the dark arts, having knowledge on only the most powerful magical spells known to Jovia, not to mention the fact he's able to play with the minds of others, leading them into a trap of presenting himself as an 'approachable, trustable friend', only to turn against them when he gained their heart.

He's intelligent, strong and skilled, once you've fallen into his grasp, there's no escaping him, and he's ended lives before in horrible, twisted ways before.

Despite his hostility and unhinged actions, however, he's loyal, and can be pretty arrogant at times, with an obvious interest in gold and jewellery, having a flamboyant side that can lead to most thinking of him as dimwitted, which couldn't be further from the truth.

Paradox also has a knack for scaring people, having a love for jumping out at others from behind trees or bushes to straight up chasing them with bared teeth down on all fours. He loves the thrill of the hunt, and enjoys nothing more than seeing the fear and desperation in another being's eyes, especially if his intent is truly to hurt.

He's loud as well, not to mention bold, acting on impulse with little to no thoughts whatsoever, which has landed him in some difficult situations sometimes, though he usually finds his way out again, even if it involves murder. He has little fear for anything, and is competitive, too, always desperate to come out on top and prove that he is truly 'the best'.

Paradox has a nasty habit of defying rules, and overreacting to the littlest of things. He says whatever comes to his head, and has quite a vulgar side to him due to this, though it only seems to slip out when he's truly angry. It's not hard to enrage him, either, if he doesn't like it, he will state so, and he's not typically one to bottle up his emotions, unless he's keeping up his 'trustable' facade.

## Trivia

* He is the AU (alternate universe) version of a character that Antares liked during her childhood, though he is strikingly different to the point the two can be labelled as separate characters.
* He has gone through several revamps in total, spanning over several years.
	+ His main inspiration for his design and other factors was one of his older versions, named 'Skylar', whom was a malicious Helicopter demon who hunted and killed other creatures for fun.
* His eyes are primarily golden, but they turn bright red when he is experiencing a strong emotion, primarily anger, or using his magical powers.
* He is the second tallest Jovian Deity, behind Carey.
* Paradox cannot stand seafood, much to Droney's dismay. He doesn't like eating meat in general, only killing animals to use their bones as kindling or to provide for his underlings, however, he will gladly devour the flesh of other Jovians, apart from Helicopters as he cannot stand to hurt them despite the violent nature of his clan in general.
	+ Despite not liking to harm or eat Helicopters, he will devour his deputies after death as he finds the idea of their dead bodies being devoured by other Helicopters or grubs in the ground and/or burnt in a fire repulsive, so he figures that him consuming their bodies is giving them a better send off, and that they shall forever 'remain a part of their Deity'.
* He heavily prefers baths to showers, and insists on having bubbles every time he bathes.
* He has a terrible spice and heat tolerance. Due to being primarily black in colouration, he overheats really easily, which can cause him to pass out, and his robe doesn't necessarily help with this, either.
* He has excellent night vision, rendering the headlights on his cheeks useless.
* He smells of lavender, and due to his habit of chewing on peppermint leaves, his breath smells of mint.
* His magic core allows him to heal wounds extremely quickly, even lost limbs. If he loses an arm or even his head, it'll simply reattach itself, and if it was completely destroyed in some way, it'll grow back, good as new.
	+ Despite having good healing powers and magic, he isn't immune to diseases. While he won't die from them unless they're very serious (such as the Scourge of Paradox, the disease he himself created), he can't heal himself when he gets sick as magic spell functionality is hindered.
* Paradox's jewellery is made out of real gold, having been dug from caves deep in the Dark Forest.
* His golden antlers are sought after by many Jovians, and have attempted trying to hunt Paradox just to get their hands on them. Although not made of real gold, they are beautiful, and no other Jovian is able to have horns just like them. Because of this, Paradox would attack and even kill those who seek his horns, or even just a tiny piece of them, as he believes that his antlers are what 'makes him himself'.
