Evanesentient

* Empowered
* Depowered
 **Debut** | TBA

**Evanesentient** is the Simplicitrix/Stabilized Simplicitrix's DNA sample of an Tumultusapien from the planet Vitanima III.

## Appearance

Evanesentient is a humanoid alien with deep green skin. Darker green-teal hair sticks off his head in a spiky, downward fashion. His arms go down to his feet, and end in three-clawed hands, the claws being purple. His feet are hooved, and purple fangs jut from his lower jaw. He wears a black two-piece outfit, as well as a black band around his forehead beneath his hair, and black cloth around his legs. His outfit has red borders.

Evanesentient's empowered form appears more demonic and animalistic, featuring a centaur-like lower body of three legs on each side, larger arms similar to the enlarged right arm of his default form's profile image, massive purple spikes of protruding bone sticking out of his backside, large fanged jaws, longer hair, and the faces of the victims he has absorbed the life of remaining as a vague visage scattered throughout his chest, back, and arms. Meanwhile, his depowered form retains his animalistic appearance, although much smaller and worm-like with his arms having become a fourth pair of legs, large compound eyes comparable to an insect, and a vertical mouth of sharp teeth. In both his other forms, Evanesentient loses his outfit.

Evanesentient wears the Simplicitrix symbol on his forehead.

## Personality

Evanesentient is more sadistic than other transformations. His negativity empowerment also applies here, as he has no issue bragging about the souls in his body wallowing in pain and turmoil and how the sound of their agony soothes him.

## Powers

* Evanesentient can absorb the life force of any living thing, even if the creature's definition of "living" is different from that of other species, such as an Ectonurite. In doing so, his own life force is increased, and his body takes on a larger, more monstrous form, increasing each time he gains more life. Evanesentient's soul count remains between transformations.
* The souls Evanesentient devours have some sense of reality while within his essence. Because of this, they experience a torturous existence for as long as he is empowered by them, which only furthers the empowerment because he thrives off the negativity and turmoil that they writhe in.
* Evanesentient's body increasing in size also increases his strength and durability, and whatever other physical prowess he may have.
* Evanesentient can shapeshift to some extent, but only to appear like his default form to catch enemies off guard. His mass remains the same, though, thusly his density increases when he does this; his increased physical prowess remains here as well.
* Evanesentient has sharp claws and fangs that he can use even when not absorbing life.

## Weaknesses

* When disguised like his default form, Evanesentient's density can give away how much power he's hiding, such as if he steps on ground that wouldn't break in his normal form but breaks due to his increased density.
* Evanesentient can deteriorate into a weak form if he is "killed" enough, sacrificing the lives he's absorbed as well as part of his own being to extend his life as much as possible.
* Evanesentient's soul count remaining the same between transformations can be a problem if he is in a weaker state.

## Etymology

* Evanesentient's name is a play on "evanescence," which refers to something existing for a short amount of time, and "sentient." The combination of the two made for his name is a nod to how a creature's sentience is fleeting upon being absorbed by Evanesentient.
* Evanesentient's species name is a play on "tumultus," Latin for turmoil.
* Evanesentient's planet name is a play on "vita," Latin for life, and "anima," Latin for soul. The III comes from his main inspiration, Envy from *Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood*, being the third Homunculi introduced.

## Trivia

* As stated above, Evanesentient's primary inspiration is Envy from *Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood*.
	+ Evanesentient's outfit is almost the exact same, only missing the gloves and the cloth around the waist.
	+ Evanesentient's powers come from Envy's abilities to absorb souls into his Philosopher's Stone, which empowered his larger, far more monstrous form.
	+ If the two are "killed" enough, both of them turn into a significantly weaker, deteriorated form.
	+ Evanesentient's hair comes from Envy.
	+ Both can shapeshift, though Envy can shapeshift however he likes. Evanesentient can only shapeshift back into his default form.
	+ Evanesentient's color scheme comes from Envy's monster form.
	+ Envy's sadistic personality and ability to thrive off of the despair of others inspired Evanesentient's personality.
