Dyoden (Pronounced DEE-oh-dehn) is a snappy, sarcastic, but ultimately gentle and loyal Enderman of a foreign realm. As an assassin, he uses the alias "The Enderman" and travels the world for his missions.

## Appearance

Dyoden, or Dyo, is very much the long and lanky type, though with a fair bit of muscle build in his arms and upper torso. Its arms have little nicks and scars up and down them from various adventures in his work, and his fingers bear long, wolflike black claws. He walks on digitigrade legs that end in cloven hooves (think deer), and bears a pair of large, curling horns like developing antlers. It also sports a long, thin tail ending in a thick, fanlike tuft of white fur with little spots like stars scattered around. His tail and long, pointed ears are very expressive, even if his face isn't.

Dyo's style fluctuates between indie and dark academia, but he's most often seen in simple collared shirts and black pants, with a small add-on like a cloak or a couple of necklaces. When it needs to be especially fancy, it may go out in a long dress or skirt adorned with a belt. When it comes to jewelry, Dyo prefers necklaces and earrings, though he may occasionally get a couple of tail rings. No matter what he wears, however, he always adorns himself with a specific lapis earring wrapped in copper wire, for personal reasons.

## Personality

In one sentence, Dyo is a violent asshole who occasionally has a sweet moment here and there. He's short-tempered and moody, he hates trusting people, and he snaps at most. It keeps to itself unless necessary, and is overly defensive and quick to resort to violence. It hates loud noises, particularly ones made by living things. It also has quite the ego- something that his culture despises- which can sometimes lead to it getting carried away and rambling. His excellent knowledge of most Overworld anatomies allows him to make very specific threats to people.

Fortunately for anyone who thinks Dyo is a friend-making challenge, he has a few potentially redeeming qualities. For one thing, he's very passionate about astronomy and astrology, to the point of memorizing all the constellations of his home realm. He adores learning about new cultures and comparing them to the ones he's learned about before; the similarities and differences between them fascinates him to a great degree. He doesn't like doing too much dirty work, but he'll study new concepts all day if you let him. He's surprisingly gentle with certain people, and has an extra soft spot for people crying for reasons he refuses to admit to. He loves cats for no particular reasons, and will always choose to sit with one if given the chance. Despite being an assassin, he hates seeing people in pain; as such, he always goes for a quick and painless kill when it's on a mission. He is very formal with elders, and incredibly gentle with children despite hating them.

## Childhood & Growing Up

His home life included his parents and two siblings. He loved his family dearly, but he was much closer to his father than anyone else. They were both passionate about study and the stars, to the point of them both hoarding his father's library and telescope. In school he was taught the typical Enderian culture and traditions, and the Ender language. He studied English and a little bit of the Nether language on his own, and became fluent in English very quickly. His mother had always been a very gentle soul, teaching him to value life, though she never had a huge impact on Dyo's life. Instead, he was mostly raised by his father and older sister, and took care of his little brother.

In his early teens, however, he became incredibly bored with his life. He craved some kind of thrill, and eventually settled on moving to the Overworld to find something to do. He left at 15, and after a few months of finding nothing, he eventually settled on putting his studies of various cultures and languages to work by becoming an assassin. It taught itself how to build and use a wide range of weapons, and in the meantime practiced getting used to killing and taking a few missions.

## Fun Facts

* Dyo started going by "The Enderman" because he didn't like sharing his name with the people who hired him, so they just called him the Enderman. He only shares his name with people he genuinely cares about.
* He's *extremely* claustrophobic, to the point where he'd rather stand in the rain than in a small room with a bunch of people.
* When he's very tired or angry, he either forgets or refuses to speak English, instead speaking his first language, Ender.
* He's not super great at social cues, but he's *terrible* at romance. It can't pick up on it unless the person is being very blunt, and when it figures it out, he just completely shuts down like "404 Dyo.exe not found" because he doesn't know how to romance.
* Its hair is naturally white and wavy when long, but he cuts and dyes it black because he thinks naturally white hair makes him look “too alien to the Overworld”.
* His English handwriting is really messy, but it plays it off by saying it’s a personal choice. Its Ender handwriting is actually quite pretty.
* Something it has learned from assassin work is to immediately judge strangers by how easy or difficult they’d be to kill if necessary. This affects how he treats them.
* He speaks Ender and English, and is pretty good at covering up his accent when needed.
