Juno (species)

## Juno

The face of The Smiler

The **Juno** are a species of reality-altering aberrant beings created by Juno. They are the result of Juno's entropic tar corrupting another creature.

## Description

The Juno appear as disturbing humanoid beings. Their skin was as black as the night, and their head was a stark white. They were incredibly skinny and gaunt, to the point where they had the shape of a skeleton. Their limbs were disproportionate and ended in long, claw like fingers. Their faces were most notable by a lack of a nose and ears, along with the oversized sunkens pits for eyes. But their most notable feature however, would likely be the massive, uncanny smile that was nearly always on their faces, that would be so large it would, quite literally, curl off of their head. The Juno had no hair on any of their body and did not require sustenance or sleep, and did not age.

Each and every Juno would have varying different appearances however, some more than others.

## Personality

The Juno were always hostile and destructive, seeking out nothing but to cause as much strife as possible. Many of the more intelligent Juno would have their own personal reasons for what they do, while more bestial ones like the Pterajuno would simply cause mayhem for them fun of it.

## Behavior

Juno were lone hunters and would rarely, if ever, associate with any other creatures, typically attacking on sight. If a Juno was to meet another Juno, they would acknowledge each other, but likely wouldn't ally unless there was some immediate need to do so. Some Juno prefered to wreak havoc on civilizations, villages, settlements, or large groups, and some targeted individuals alone.

## Abilities

Each Juno, along with many other supernatural traits, had the ability to alter reality in a way that would often match with who they were or their environment. For example, Pterajuno had the ability to alter gravity around him along with being able to fly, and the Marionne had the ability to trap people in and control their nightmares.

## Combat

Juno were savage in combat, prefering to make an enemies death as painful and terrifying as possible. They prefered to use their reality altering ability to their advantage and frighten their opponents, and some may claim that they cared more about scaring their prey than they did actually killing them.

## History

Juno were first created when Juno crashed onto the Adamantine Island. As he formed his tar by destroying and rotting the matter around him, any creature that came in contact with it would contract Juno fever, the otherworldly and magical disease that slowly turns one into a Juno. The first notable Juno to be corrupted was the once mortal spellcaster Sigyuun The Foul, who willingly became a Juno in order to become immortal and gain the abilities of a Juno. The second was Pterajuno, a man whose previous identity has been completely lost. The third was the Hibernating Evil, the daughter of Scalderus Weldheart, and a miner who dug too deep for her own good. The fourth was the Marionne, an innocent child wracked with night terrors who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. The most recent Juno to be corrupted, as of the events of the Adamantine Island, was The Smiler, an elven merchant who found a cursed glass orb created by Sigyuun that turned him into the monster he is now.

## Other Juno

Many who were corrupted instead became Juno zombies, a subspecies of weaker, lesser Junos without reality altering abilities. Juno could be found on other planes if the influence of Fomalhaut could be found there. Any creature, as long as they were of organic matter, could become a Juno, even fiends, undead, and other aberrations.
