### **BASIC INFO** ❖

Ego Ethereality is a character and persona created by the ROBLOX user *luceggoi*. The character comes from another group owned by luceggoi, "The Thaumalic Diner."

Ego is the Deputy Headmaster of Lurubelle, and the husband of Angelita Ethereality. Ego lives most of his life in Etherealia, the realm in which Lurubelle resides. However when he isn't in Etherealia, he's tending to his diner in his home-realm. Ego can usually be found in his office located in the Lurubelle Library, playing some of his records and drinking tea with his feet up on the desk. Ego gets along with his students really well, and usually doesn't mind taking extra time out of his day to help a student with something.

Ego is a tall figure with bull-like features, such as his hooves, horns, and ears (which are usually not visible under his thick hair). Ego has thin dark grey fur all over his body, however in some parts like his longer fur on his hands and calves, the fur fades into the turquoise that his hair is. Ego usually wears classy suits in which he usually lets his tie hang loose and his jackets un-buttoned. Since Ego is from the 40s, he usually wears high-class fashion that was popular in that time, but with his own funky twist.

Ego has a large scar on his stomach, from the incident of him splitting it open on a boulder. He has other small scars on his arms and neck from victims of his human life.

Ego has a sleeping disorder called **Narcolepsy,** a sleeping disorder that makes people very drowsy during the day. It can cause sudden attacks of sleep throughout the day and sometimes hallucination or loss of muscle tone. Ego also has another disorder called **Trichotillomania,** a hair-pulling disorder. Because of this, Ego has random patches of fur on his body which he can't quite grow back normally. He started to pick his fur out (mainly on his arms) from the slightest feelings of stress.

### **BIOGRAPHY** ❖

##### Early Years

Zachary Callahan was born on the 9th of September, 1921. He was raised into an upper class family in Los Angeles, California. Zachary was childish, due to the fact that his parents would buy him whatever he wanted, left to go party, and then called it “parenting”. You’d think he was spoiled, because he was; Though he wasn’t a “brat”. Zachary was practically raised by his older sister, Lola Callahan. Lola was 5 years older than her brother, from the day that he was born she swore to stay with him forever, and she did. In between her painful dress-fittings and chores, Lola would go on picnics with Zachary, teaching him life-lessons and lecturing him. They would sit under the giant willow tree, observing ant-trails and butterflies, as well as braiding together flowers to make flower-crowns. Zachary didn’t ever learn how to braid the flowers accurately, they usually ended up unraveling into a pile of crimped-dandelions and other flowers that Zachary dug out of the neighbor’s gardens. Lola always saved the flowers that Zachary collected, she put them in a salmon-coloured vase and watered them accordingly.

Soon the flowers started dying, Lola couldn’t water them anymore. Lola had started getting ill, very ill. It started with blood in the sink, then hospital beds. Every table or desk in Lola’s hospital room was covered in little plastic vases of flowers that Zachary would bring her almost every day, besides a small end-table with a record-player on it, usually playing Louis Armstrong or Amy Beach.

After the death of Zachary's sister, his "perfect" life started going down-hill almost immediately. His parents both started falling under the influence of alcoholism, and were becoming even more distant every single day. His father lost his job, so there wasn't anymore money being made to support the family. Because of this Zachary was eventually taken from his parents by his aunt Clarita. As he started living with his aunt, his personality started changing drastically, he was deemed a "Troubled child" by his teachers, and seen as almost dangerous because of his random outbursts towards other students.

Zachary was then taken from his aunt and put in a Sanatorium, where he was brutally bullied every single day. There was an incident of him being pushed off a balcony where he fell into a creek and slit his stomach open on a boulder. He almost died that day, but somehow didn't. He believes he should have. Zachary was often forced to eat dead rats by his bullies, beaten, and spat on. Usually it was about 3 kids bullying him, but one day Zachary was caught alone with one. Ego remembers his name clearly, as "Peter Vermont" was the name of his first ever victim. The name of the first person Zachary killed, and ate. However he never remembered that until he was 22 and visited the (now abandoned) Sanatorium, where he broke in and found old Doctor's files. He found one on himself from when he was 13. "Cannibal? What? That can't be right." He threw up as he started remembering what he did, the awful thing he did. That day, he discovered many things about himself that he hated.

##### Adult Years

In Zachary's adult years, he was extremely popular in the party industry, as he went out to parties almost every night. He looked as though he was living the 40s dream, he seemed wealthy enough, was a regular party-goer, and knew almost everyone. Every week was the same cycle. Wake up, eat barely enough food to get through the day, work a few hours, go out and party, drink a lot, then wake up hung-over and empty. It was nothing new to him. However things started changing when he let his horrific tendencies take control of him. He was out partying when it happened. He saw a woman being hit on by a "drunken piece of filth", he wouldn't take a damn hint and leave her alone. Zachary never took his eyes off him, he observed from a distance as the man continued to follow and stalk the woman. The party ended, and Zachary still never took his eyes off him. The man attempted to follow the woman home, so Zachary chose to follow the man. He followed him to another block, in which he shoved the man into an alleyway and murdered him, and uncontrollably started consuming his mangled corpse. Zachary didn't want it to happen that way, but it did. And it happened again, and again, and again.

By the time of Zachary's death, he had taken up to 6 victims. LA even gave him his own Serial Killer nickname (Which he found unbelievably cheesy) "The Party-Stopper". Zachary only killed people who he deemed as "filthy", people who were already criminals, such as pieces of garbage who didn't comprehend that "no" means "no". Zachary never killed an innocent person. Because of Zachary's already large and great reputation, he was never suspected to be a murderer or linked to any of the crimes. Zachary never flaunted it though, he hated himself. He beat himself up on the daily because of it, he genuinely believed that his entire family was a line of errors, and he was the only one still standing. At every single gathering he went to, there would be talk of the new "LA Monster", it felt so weird hearing his own friends talk about himself right in front of him. Sometimes he wouldn't even realize until later that he was the "LA Monster", he was the current threat of LA. Him.

##### Death / Afterlife

Zachary eventually died at 27, when he was shot in the forest while burying a body of his last victim. There was a hunter out in the forest looking for deer, and mistook Zachary's fast movements to be one. However, Zachary didn't quite die after he got shot, only his body did. While Zachary started losing consciousness and the ability to breathe, Angelita took his soul and transported him to Etherealia. Zachary never got to know whether or not he got caught, he thinks that there is absolutely no way that he didn't get caught, because when he died he hadn't finished burying the body at all.

It surprisingly didn't take Ego that long to adjust to his new life, in fact he actually enjoyed it. He felt like he could be his own messed-up self and not be judged for it. He developed comfort in his flaws and actually built genuine relationships with the other beings in the realm. Such as how he really quickly developed romantic feelings and attraction towards Angelita, who he believed to be a literal Goddess.

### **RELATIONSHIPS** ❖

Ego has always been automatically respectful and friendly to any strangers he meets, as he believes that being kind will earn you kindness back. However, sometimes it doesn't always work that way, Ego figured that out the hard way when he was a human. There's many people that Ego appreciates and loves having in his lifetime, such as his sister, his spouse, son, and friends.

#### ✧ ANGELITA ETHEREALITY

Angelita Ethereality is the creator of Etherealia, the realm in which Lurubelle is built in. Ego was taken from earth by Angelita and sent to Etherealia. Ego believes that Angelita was saving him from himself somehow by taking him from his first life on earth. Ego fell in love with Angelita almost immediately, however, it took him a long time to make that clear to her due to the fact that he admired her and saw her as a literal Goddess.

Ego had been married before, but due to his divorce he always believed he was going to stay a *Hopeless Romantic.* That was all until he found **true love** in Angelita.

Ego mainly express his love and feelings for her through the music that he would play around her. Ego collected records and was a huge music nerd, and so he knew how to make the perfect playlist to express his love for her. However he realized just a playlist wouldn't be enough to make her his, so he eventually confessed to her. Later this romance they had lead up to Ego eventually proposing to her with a ring that he had made himself for her. In that moment, Ego didn't realize that Angelita also intended on proposing to him as well, and so they both exchanged rings and became fiancé's.

#### ✧ AIDEN THAXTON

Aiden Thaxton was Ego's roommate when he was an adult human. They had a good relationship and Aiden was even his best friend in that time. Aiden was the only person that ever suspected that Ego was "The Party-Stopper", however he never did anything about it because of the fact that Aiden was also alleged to have disturbing flaws such as Ego's.

Aiden helped Zachary with his mental health issues and struggles with alcoholism. Aiden often made meals for Ego and supported him by encouraging him to eat something and take care of himself. Zachary did the same for Aiden, as Zachary was also a person that Aiden felt comfortable enough to come out to as a trans-man. Zachary and Aiden supported each other really well, and did up until Zachary's death.

#### ✧ CHARLOTTE

Charlotte is one of Ego's Co-Workers, they are The Warden of Lurubelle Academy. This means they monitor the school halls during the day, but more heavily at night to make sure Lurubelle Student's are "in-line". Charlotte and Ego became friends by meeting through hanging out in the Teacher's Lounge when they get a break from students. Charlotte and Ego developed a **sibling-dynamic** towards each other.

There was once an incident of Charlotte being freaked-out by the sound of a hair-band being snapped, (due to Charlotte's large fear of loud noises). Ego helped them calm down and develop a calmness towards startling noises, he did this by giving them a ribbon to fidget with and helping them imagine that it's just a rubber band. "It's harmless! See?"

### **FORMS** ❖

Ego has three main forms in which he transforms to depending on different circumstances. Two of them he can control, another one he can't.

* Main form, used in Etherealia.
* Diner form, same as his Main Form however he isn't as tall, and he is more casual looking (to fit his diner and his own realm).
* Hostile form: This form is (sometimes) **uncontrollable.** In this form, Ego grows to be about 24 ft tall, his monstrous features define even more, and he seems to take the structure of a Wendigo's. The scar from the creek on his stomach grows into a sharp-toothed mouth, and he forms another mouth on the right side of his chest. The mouths form because they are supposed to represent Ego's dark tendencies and "craving" for human meat. The mouth on the right of his chest forms in that area because it is the spot in which he was shot right before he "died". The reason why he also seems to take the form of something similar to a Wendigo is because he was mistaken for a deer in the woods when he was killed by the hunter. The only person (so far) that can help him defeat this form of himself is Angelita.Ego's Official ReferenceAngelita and Ego during nighttime
