Wax

"DON'T WORRY, IT WON'T HURT THAT MUCH!"-Wax "The blight"

Wax is a native, character and a main antagonist in hymns from the hypogean. Once a respected member of a community, now turned into the last creature infected by a plague thought out to be extinct.

## Life before/during the Entrenching plague

Will Zynex was a human born into the Hypogean on the 15th of April. At a young age he was shown to be a smooth-talker; whether it be convincing vendors or even marauders he was always able to talk his way out of situations. However, with this amount of charisma he was bound to become reckless and when he became one of the founders of a town he decided that he would be the most powerful individual in that town.

As co-founder of Bereaved, he begun making his legend by helping around and even protecting the small things such as heirlooms and trinkets for the local townsfolk; it wouldn't do him any good to let them not think good of him. Deep down, there was a part of him that legitimately enjoyed helping out the people of his town although it was buried under a heap of fantasy and greed.

Suddenly, all his hard work came crashing down when a member of his town returned from a trip to the toxic aquifer and suddenly collapsed on the floor. His body had small white droplets, black boils and he begun to hallucinate animals and past loved ones.

Nothing worked to cure him of the disease. When the man died, everyone mourned him and became paranoid after his body dissolved in a vicious white liquid and bit another citizen in their arm. No sooner did the man begun to show the same disease.

Seeing another chance at gaining the peoples favor, Will changed the city into a fortified town where outsiders were checked and caravans had been sent to help other struggling towns; even employing strangers to protect them from animals and other infected.

However his town begun to crumble when other town members became further infected. He had to make a choice and decided to send infected to "Safe zones";often they were never seen again. The people believed his words and he couldn't help but smile that his fame was increasing and-secretly-that his people we're thriving under the circumstances.

However, one day a mass of white liquid begun to ooze towards the town and next thing anyone knew was that suddenly everyone was being dragged towards the Toxic aquifer. A small group of humanoid blobs of the plague were staring at them, one of them was smiling right at him.

## Life after the entrenching plague,

When the town of Bereaved had been eradicated and all its former inhabitants had their reanimated bodies destroyed. The Hypogean rejoiced in the eradication of the plague but also failed at repair of any of the former sites of infection; instead leaving walls and obstacles just to keep out any surviving creatures.

Suddenly out from the Toxic aquifer, a human looking creature crawled out and begun to march on the dirt ridden ground. The next day two corpses were found, impaled by harden white spikes. To many peoples surprise the corpses didn't reanimate but they did drip out a pink liquid that was excellent at puncturing.

More attacks followed and forced people into traveling in groups; word is that the last thing heard before the groups were suddenly attacked is someone loudly shouting words of reassurance.

## Trivia

-If Wax were to have perks, they'd be the following.

* Infected (Poison affect on enemies when hit)
* Made of liquid (when running for a small time they can go from running to slithering as a liquid; increases speed and defense. Can make puddles/blobs that work similar to meat effigy but removes half health.)
* A former plague (Every mob that can attack-along with some mobs that are normally passive such as butterflies-will attack.)
