Wither and Yon

**Debut** | TBA

**Wither and Yon** is the Simplicitrix/Stabilized Simplicitrix's DNA sample of a Morderepulvisian Diabolian Wheeler from the dark matter tunnels just beyond The Black Brick Road.

## Appearance

Wither and Yon is an emaciated humanoid covered in irregular pinkish red skin covered with stretched wrinkles with an enormous balloon-shaped head that features thin black hairs emerging from his scalp, upside down teardrop-shaped eye sockets with black fluid streaked underneath them, and an elongated orifice in place of proper jaws, from which protrudes several thin tendrils that radiate glowing red energy that separate off into floating particles whenever they move. He has an elongated pair of arms stretching far beyond his legs, each ending with three curled fingers, and shrunken legs that are partially crossed inwards around a dark sphere of red and black energy which he uses to remain afloat in the air and off the ground below. His profile image displays a blurry afterimage that heavily distorts and elongates inwards into a slight spiral when nearing the energy sphere his legs wrap over.

Wither and Yon wears a pair of Simplicitrix symbols where his eyes would be.

## Powers

* Wither and Yon can cause immense destruction through his presence alone, causing increasingly worsening degradation onto any matter within his environmental radius, causing stone to crumple, glass to crack and shatter, metal to rust and corrode, living flesh to undergo necrosis and break down at an accelerated rate, and even indestructible materials to become tarnished even without receiving any actual damage to them. Continuously weakening materials and individuals through lessening their structural stability, Wither and Yon can even cause anyone who can try to withstand prolonged exposure to slowly lose hold of their sense of reality, giving into paranoia and bouts of insanity, far before permanent damage even begins setting in.
	+ Wither and Yon's mouth tentacles can instantly disintegrate anything they grab hold of, immediately breaking it down into nothing more than fine dust particles which he can consume with a simple inhale.
	+ Wither and Yon's exposed heart, the source of his molecular degradation, being the dark sphere his legs are connected to, allows him to levitate indefinitely in the air through distorting the gravitational pull around him.
* Wither and Yon has enhanced strength, durability, endurance, reflexes, and stamina.
* Wither and Yon has prehensile mouth tentacles, technically serving as his tongues.
* Wither and Yon has space survivability.

## Weaknesses

* Wither and Yon has extremely little control over his molecular degradation, continuously radiating outwards around him as a field that damages anything that nears him or he gets near, with the only method to suppress its effects to focus it on one specific area to limit the deterioration there, although doing so leaves him extremely vulnerable towards distractions and anything that could break his concentration.
* Wither and Yon is vulnerable towards those capable of environmental purification and restoration, capable of counteracting his powers enough for them to essentially have no effect at all, although doing so might instead be beneficial in most cases as it prevents him from destroying everything around him.
* Wither and Yon has below average senses, having rather poor eyesight, close to no sense of taste despite his numerous tongue-like appendages, and zero touch whatsoever as anything he would touch would immediately begin breaking apart into pieces.
* Wither and Yon has extremely weak legs that struggle supporting his own weight for long periods of time, forcing him to rely on his levitation.

## Etymology

* Wither and Yon's name is a play on "wither" and "hither and yon," meaning to be here and there, in reference to his erratic movements and how his molecular degradation can eventually render materials into dust to be scattered by the wind.
* Wither and Yon's species name is a play on "mordere pulvis," the Latin translation of "bite the dust," meaning to be killed, and "pulvis diaboli," the Latin translation of "dust devil," referencing the nature of his means of transportation, essentially a compressed gravity vortex.

## Trivia

* Wither and Yon was drawn by Shark as apart of a batch of random alien designs made without any ideas in mind, with their name and powers later suggested by WTB.
