Deadeye

**"Did it drink of the darkness? Did it suck out all the poisons accumulated with the years? It fed in silence with an occasional of inner suffocation and blind searching It had an Eye. . . What did the Eye see? He didn't say. He saw but did not see what the Eye saw." -Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451**

## Backstory

Corpes is an orphan boy, living in a mansion that had witches raising children, training them to fight enemies of the witches. That is, until witch-hunters--a twisted Christian group called the Brotherhood of the Righteous-- burned down the mansion, killing the witches and most of the children.

The survivors were captured by the witch hunters, except a small handful, including Corpes, that went their separate ways.

Corpes was left alone with his own magic and decided to do what he did best: play games and gamble for souls. Later, at 16, he reaped a soul of a famous rock star and used the soul to teach him how to play the guitar (the rock star lost to a game of eye spy. The rock star was color blind). With his new skill, he decided to earn money by playing rock and country, which he was utterly fascinated with at the time and still is. It wasn't long--well, at 19 years old-- when he met people like him: people who were into rock and a bit crazy. They accepted Corpes to the group, the Western Horror, and gave him a new name: Deadeye. He married a girl at 19 and had a son when he was 20. They were happy until some of the members of the Brotherhood targeted the Western Horror. The Brotherhood murdered Lesley and John, and then Deadeye caused chaos in their headquarters and avenged their deaths. The Brotherhood fell almost instantly.

Even now, two years later, memories still stained his mind of the orphanage, and his dear Lesley, but he tried to move on, focusing on his band and the friends he got in the Village.

## Appearance

Deadeye has grey hair and red eyes. The right eye is his curse mark, and so he covers it with his long hair. Deadeye wears a skeleton mask--the one that covers your mouth and neck as well-- as well as a ripped black coat, grey pants, black boots, and a brown belt. His sleeves are ripped, and his arms are wrapped with bandage wrap.

That's his usual wear. If he tries to blend in with society, he takes off his mask and wears a skeleton beanie and anything black or grey for shirts and pants and whatnot.

## Abilities

Conquering Spirits- Deadeye can use souls, the souls he collected, to possess anything that doesn't have a heartbeat, and that are smaller than Deadeye themselves. He canonly holds 8 souls, which one soul, in particular, is his favorite, a red soul named Vincere, Latin for Conquer.

Deadeye can also literally eat dark energy/magic. He can refresh his health and use demonic-like energy to blast at enemies. His weakness is pure, holy like magic.

## Trivia

1. He has a series of numbers burnt in on his back. How he got it was from the orphanage. Supposed to be his "name". His number is 0222.
2. Deadeye has eight spirits. There are red, orange, green, blue, purple, black, white, and pink. Their names are in chronological order: Vincere, Happy, Emerald, Azure, Violet, Necro, Siren, and Amor.
3. Deadeye has the education of a 4th grader, and wants to actually learn history, but is too scared to admit it. He can't read either.
4. Deadeye has a skeleton beanie hat. It's very cute, and he wears it, but when someone asks where got it, he claims that a girl gave it to him...but really he bought it because of its cuteness.
5. Deadeye is a prodigal chef, though he hides it until he's asked to cook.
6. Deadeye's so-called real name isn't actually Corpes Jones. He's an orphan, remember, so he and a bunch of his old orphan friends made up names for themselves. He was, and still kind of is, fascinated by skulls and dark stuff, so he switched around "se" to "es" in Corpse to create Corpes. He made up Jones because it sounded cool.
7. Deadeye was blonde and had blue eyes, but he lost his blue eyes from his Curse, and his hair dulled to grey because of his anger and sadness. When he was married he noticed yellow strains of hair, but it faded when his wife and son died...
8. Deadeye makes sure 70% of money got from Western Horror shows goes into charity and orphanages.
