Coffin

## Background

**Coffin**, oftentimes shortened to Fin, is the only known survivor of the **Anti-Plane**, a phenomenon of unlimited landmass which surrounds the plane system. Those who have their soul shattered after death will be automatically reconstructed inside of the Anti-Plane as a failsafe, their existence no longer having sustenance within the Plane System.

Coffin fell through a tear in the surface of the Anti-Plane, which brought him back into the Plane System with an incomplete soul, however he does have a physical body which is unlike most other ethereals. He is capable of regenerating parts of his body that are lost rather quickly, although some parts of his body are almost permanently displayed as decoys or replicas of what should be there.

An example of this feature would be Coffin’s left arm, which sometimes appears completely black, having a tar-like appearance to it, or in other occasions it can appear similar to that of a charred skeleton - the bones on complete display. His left arm was close to being fully restored, hence the capability to create a decoy of it at all. His eyes and mouth however are a little different. His mouth rarely appears, and when it does, it oftentimes resembles a monster more than it does a human being. Due to being expelled from the anti-plane prematurely, the universe reset its perception of him when he re-entered the pathways, any missing parts were filled out with 'placeholders' so to speak, replacing any parts that he didn't find within the anti-plane itself. His eyes may as well be forgotten, as they will remain as empty, black voids for all of his eternal life, unless he finds his way back into the Anti-Plane once again.

As an individual, Coffin has an affinity with insects, especially maggots. Insects are a vital part of life, whether one is fearful of them or not, and Coffin loves them endearingly for such a reason. It tickles Coffin to have an insect feed off of him, rather than causing pain, and can actually be beneficial for his body to a degree, which is why he can occasionally be found with maggot infestations. Insects are his friends, and he will make sure you know about it if you happen to squish one.

Coffin generally has a rather innocent and carefree personality, however he does have a rather frightening appearance, even to other ethereals, therefore it isn’t an uncommon sight to see people flee upon coming into contact with him. Coffin occasionally suffers rather extreme bouts of sluggishness, hunger and longing, however it is most common for him to appear confused, disorientated and dazed.

Coffin does not remember his past life at all, and this includes whatever his previous name was, hence why he has such a bizarre nickname. It can be troublesome for Coffin to even remember his current personal details alongside his whereabouts, which means he does wander into unsuspecting peoples houses, stumbling around and complaining that he’s tired, hungry or wants to cuddle. At three in the morning in the pitch-black hallway of your home, you can imagine just how terrifying such an experience would be, especially if maggots were spilling everywhere. At least he doesn’t smell that bad.
