Rex

Rex is one of the long lost heirs to --, he lives away from all other humans and instead lives within a grove that hand -- care to.

## Physical Description

He is a slim young man with short curly black hair which has a bang that covers his left eye. His skin is pale enough to make one question if he has Albinism (Which in his case won't effect his hair due to to it's color being tied to his aspect)

He wears home made clothes, a mix of things his mother and that he made, mostly loose shirts and tighter pants, something a dancer would wear.

Under his bang, his left eye is horribly scared and maned, when he was younger he took a knife to his left eye and tried to removed it, his mother stopped him but still he can't see out of his left eye and it looks rather... bad.

## Personality

Rex is a deeply lonely person, he longs for company but is deathly scared of other people due to all the paranoia of his mother, he thinks that everyone is at their core evil and that good people are only a fairy tale and he also fears that due to his "curse" anyone he spend time with for too long would become their worst self and turn on him to be able to be "good" again.

He doesn't really know how to act around other people so tends to more talk to them like how he'd talk to a character, pity and understanding for those he relates to and judgement of actions and personality for those he doesn't because that's how he gets a grasp on who someone is other than another human.

He is by nature a bit of a trickster or otherwise someone that likes to get on people's nerves, for him it means that he actually has an effect on another person and it's a way to keep himself above them if he acts high and mighty which means it's easier to blame them for the effects of his powers. He mostly gets on others nerves by pointing out any flaws he can assign to them or his otherwise judgemental behavior though if called out on this or being shown that he doesn't actually understand is more likely to be make him interested in learning/getting to know someone as it sort of breaks his 2d thinking.

Rex is a goth romantic at heart and has a lot of disturbing but romantic ideas, he hopes that if he were to be found and killed that he should then be aten since in sense it would mean he'd finally be apart of a community. This also shows itself with his thoughts about love and how he finds both desirable and sweet but also one of the core sources of evil and destructive of all those involved.

Rex has the issue of tending towards giving into almost all of his worst impulses, he doesn't think of how what he says and does actually hurts others and he views himself as already evil to the point of there being no chance of being good, this all if mainly due to thinking his powers might on himself and having no example of someone not giving into their worst traits (At least none he is willing to face.)

But the thing is that at Rex's core he just wishes to be a normal person, he wants friends and a job, a home that is surrounded by other homes, he doesn't even want to be someone special just a common day nobody and he does have a good heart, he'd emotionally break if he hurt someone and saw the cost of that and he'd be willing to suffer for other's good, that is the main reason he stays within the grove and doesn't plan to leave when his mother dies, because he knows the cost to others would be too great.

## History

Rex's birth name has been long forgotten, he was born to the royal family of - but it was shortly after his and his twin -'s birth that there was a brutal revolt and most of his family was killed, but he was saved by a maid by the name of --, she wanted to save both of the twins but could only grab one so decided to grab him as he was closer, and then she tired to hide the other baby under a blanket.

It was when he was toddler that his powers started to show and due to how scared he was as a baby due to his new mother's worries made him think everything was scary or in other words evil which slowly destroyed a lot of her morals but... she still loved him and won't hurt a hair on his head instead just becoming controlling, vague and possessive but these things were born out of love for him.

Over years he put vague words together to make a story were his mother was a witch that stole him from his beloved twin and cursed him, he never told his mother the story he had made instead he kept it to himself out of a mix of fear of action or fear of being wrong.

He was around 5ish when he picked up reading and ballet as his main hobbies.

At around 12 he had a mental breakdown due to the loneliness and the fact he had a connection his sister but no way of reaching her, he nearly died while trying to rip out the light eye the one connected to his sister but his mother cared for him and got him back to health.

Since then his mother has became even more protective to try to prevent him from hurting himself again and he has spend more and more time doing ballet as a escape.

## Involvement

Madoc Thread when doing a common sensing of peoples soon to be behavior decided to just try to sense out the dark and light heir was able to, he sensed that Rex was basically just reliving the same few moments over and over again and was a passive force in his own life. Now knowing that both light and dark heir was out there he plans to have a search party spend out for the pair.

## Powers

### The "Curse"/Corrupting Nature

Rex is able to bring out the worst traits of those around him, it requires being at least somewhat close to him and if he isn't aware of using the power then it takes 1-3 days for it to have a noticeable effect.

#### What It Does

His powers will make traits that someone already has come out or stronger than they normally are, this power cannot make someone act against their nature but instead brings out things that already existed, so for some examples; a loving parent becoming possessive and controlling, a holy person becoming self righteous and judgemental, a loner becoming full on anti social and angry towards others.

The amount can very, from it slowly being more and more over time to a set amount.

People being affected will unless Rex spends more energy to hide it know that he is the source of their new actions though they may not think he is in control, may not think to harm or kill him or very well not know if the power can be undone they just know that he is the source of the rot in their morals.

This power can effect anything that can make choices, so people, animals and less powerful entities can be effected though things that are more powerful than him can simply choice to not be effected.

#### How To Use It

This power has a few ways it actives the main one being influenced by how Rex sees the world, at the start of the story he sees the world in itself as a evil thing so therefor he turns anything around him evil but as he learns that isn't the case it will only effect those he thinks are truly bad but once his naive nature is destroyed his views on people will no longer turn his powers on or off.

The better way is for Rex to focus on the rot that lives instead him and spread it like a sickness or things like that, it still requires that he be close but is able to have it take hold faster at the costs of tiring himself or the rot spreading more in him.

If Rex were to use this power too much one of three things could happen; he loses any and all control of it meaning he slowly turns everyone around him to their worst self til he has died, he rots out his own morals to the point that they no longer have any meaning to him (meaning his powers no longer have something to be based off) or he becomes less and less moral but still has just enough to keep his powers.

#### Ways Of Using it

* Showing someone's true nature, good for people that are normally self controlled enough to hide their darkness behind closed doors.
* Batman gambits relying on people acting at their worst.
* Making people not act as selfless as a means of saving them.

### Darkness Control

Rex has slight control of darkness, he is unable to make something physical with said darkness but when it comes to the effects on the eyes he doesn't have much of a limit as long as it's a amount of darkness that could exist within the space.

#### What It Does

Basically makes thing's eyes and other senses act like a area is dark, dim or otherwise darker than it was before. This can be anything from making someone think the lights have gone out to thinking that it is night instead of day (even though any tests to find a light source would show it still being on, fire still burni and the sun would still be out)

#### How To Use It

Rex can use it without meaning to, namely within his grove it is always night due to him being unable to emotionally face the dawn but once he's a bit more okay emotionally he just sorta needs to uhh feel it? It's like a extra limb and like a limb it's hard to explain how to use it

#### Ways Of Using it

* Blinding some people in a room and not others
* confusing others

## Relationships

### Mother

Despite thinking she kidnapped him, he does truly love her a lot and likes having her a mother even if he resents not having his sibling with him and blaming her for that along with thinking she cursed him. Throughout his life she's taught him the skills to live without her from hunting to how to care for a home because they know she won't live forever and she wants him to be okay.

As a child Rex was a total momma's boy, honestly he still is, whenever he has a nightmare he'll end up staying his his mom's bed, he tells her almost all his secrets and goes to her for comfort.

He does wonder why someone that seems to love him so much keeps him trapped within the grove due to a curse that he thinks she put on him, but really all that wondering does is make him think love cruel even more.

## Trivia

* He is full of ref's to Swain Lake, meanly the Black Swain.
