Minos Emon

**Minos Dalton Emon** is a drawing depicting a shark of indeterminate species which comes to life whenever drawn. His first canonical appearance was in a post made on December 19, 2022 to the subreddit.

## Appearance

Minos has a thin, cartoony build with six gills on both sides of his neck and his ribs. His height varies ("average" height being 1.6 meters--roughly 5.2 feet) but he is most commonly described as being fifteen centimeters high (six inches) or shorter. His snout protrudes from his face--much like that of a sergal's--only more rigid and flat like the head of a real shark. He has spiky yellow hair that is listed as being "like a highlighter" in his second reference sheet--however, his hair color is only rarely shown as yellow since the majority of posts or art featuring Minos have him in black and white. As opposed to having ears, Minos has ear holes which are entirely black and just as capable as hearing as normal ears would be. Although occasionally seen wearing clothes, Minos typically wears nothing. Despite not being explicitly stated, this could be due to how much longer it might take one to draw clothes on him than simply drawing him.

## Personality

### Cocky

Minos often overestimates himself, which is ironic given his stature and general physical weakness. This often leads to hardship wherein he has to prove himself to someone else and/or his own claims. If he fails (which he usually does), he is briefly embarrassed or angered before settling down to later start the cycle again.

### Easily Flustered

Minos is comically easy to embarrass, whether through compliments, insults, simple gestures, or his own inabilities. He blushes very often despite lacking blood to allow this expression to be physically possible.

### Musically-Inclined

In casual settings, Minos has been shown to be capable of singing and playing guitar. It can be assumed that he started playing only recently given his apparent limit in songs he is able to perform. His ability to play music is one of few talents of his that is unaffected by his size, as he has been able to both play a life-sized bass guitar and him-sized paper guitar.

## Abilities

### Revival Through Depiction

Minos is capable of cheating death a theoretically unlimited amount of times so long as someone else is able to draw or make him in any other way. Once a Minos is constructed, it will come to life out of the material it was made on. Minos as a conscious being is aware of this ability and describes it as a sort of "death loop" which he can never escape from. He has a memory of each life he has had before, but does not recall the exact number of times that he has died--which is assumingly high because of his very low durability.

#### Cloning

In one instance through this revival ability, a myriad of Minoses were created in rapid succession after the original died and to no control of their own. Each Minos had a different personality depending on how they were created (e.g. crayon and chalk Minos were childish, canvas Minos was snobby and luxurious, red Minos was angry, etcetera). This scenario could only occur given the fact that the original Minos had recently died in proximity to the other drawn Minoses.

### Flight

Minos has proven himself able to fly if the wind is in his favor. Otherwise, he is at the complete mercy of whatever direction the wind is blowing while in the air.

### Self-Origami

Minos can fold himself in his paper form to resemble other objects or assist in movement, combat, and utility.

#### Knife Hands

The most commonly used form out of Minos's origami transformations is his knife hand form. By folding either of or both of his hands into triangles, Minos's chance to give papercuts is increased in this form, as shown in his first fight with Void. Minos first discovered this shape at Dark's Café when he was forced inside because of snowfall.

#### Claw Hands

Only used once so far, Minos's hands were given paper claws that--by adding onto Minos's body--could slash and cut as if they were real claws. This combined with Minos's extended height at the time made for a stronger-than-average version of him that could have potentially posed a threat if given the opportunity.

#### Heart Hands

Shown briefly in Minos's interaction with Tantos, he had folded his hands into the shape of hearts and waved them around in a gesture of sympathy for the demon. Tantos then quickly struck Minos, killing him instantly.

#### Accordion Fold

Minos's accordion fold is an involuntary transformation that occurs when he is crushed or falls too hard onto something. This could be a means of spreading out damage, but could also be more detrimental to his movement than helpful.

#### Poster Fold

Minos's poster fold is a form where he rolls up into the shape of a cylinder to fall slower or fit easier into tight spaces. While staying in this rolled-up form, he is unable to see anything outside of the roll. This was especially detrimental when fighting Void, which ended up costing him the fight.

#### Cootie Catcher

In a random case, Minos was able to fashion himself into the shape of a cootie catcher and pinch Void teasingly. This has unseen combat potential, such as latching onto someone who's trying to run away.

#### Miscellaneous Forms

Minos has transformed into or been folded into the shape of a:

* Sunflower
* Heart
* Crane
