It/Its ⦿ Manifestation ⦿ Tormentor

**Guilt** (also known as “the figure”) is an ageless, genderless, and soulless entity that frequently appears in David’s nightmares. Only existing in the mindscape, it isn’t technically real, but it is still very much a figure that causes its “victim” great distress. It is considered a manifestation of David’s fear, anxiety, and (of course) guilt.

Guilt first appeared in his dreams shortly after he dissected Maverick and started to reflect on his decisions and behavior, and is even vaguely shaped like the void person himself. It’s behavior is unsettling, strange, and malicious; often springing out of shadows after torturing David from after in an attempt to kill or otherwise harm him. David rarely ever talks about it, and prefers to keep it a secret even though it keeps him from going to sleep, seeing it and the nightmares themselves as embarrassing and “nothing to worry about”.

Appearance

Guilt’s appearance isn’t that complex, but that doesn’t make it any less unsettling.
It appears to be a silhouette of Maverick: having the same angular features, hair-shape, and sharp shoulder pads as him. However, instead of black eyes and white pupils, it has white eyes and black pupils, like a normal human. Although, while a true human would have emotion and some sort of soul behind their eyes, Guilt’s is completely empty and devoid of any emotion. It has no iris, like David, and it’s pupil normally takes up most of its sclera, revealing only slivers of white, although they do sometimes shrink while it is focusing on something. The whites of its eyes are bloodshot although it is usually hard to notice due to its pupils.

In addition, it has no set body shape and often shifts it’s height to appear more imposing, with its default height being Maverick’s. However, it usually keeps it’s thin, malnourished build. Guilt also never appears clearly, almost always distorting or “glitching-out” like a picture on a broken TV. It flickering and even violently flashing isn’t rare either, which makes it a pain to look at. It’s eyes normally distort with its body, but they typically stay in place while glitching, unchanged and unblinking, and their colors don’t change when it flashes, always remaining white and black.

It’s color palette mainly consists of vantablack, making it appear like a hole in time and space. As mentioned before, Guilt’s eyes have white, bloodshot scleras and black pupils. Other that black, white, and the faintest hints of red, there isn’t much going on with its coloration. It blends perfectly into shadows and other dark areas due to this, with only its eyes being visible. Whenever it flickers or flashes, however, it’s whole body turns a soft shade of gray and blinding white, illuminating the whole area it’s in for a brief moment before returning to normal and quickly repeating the process again. It always stays monochrome, and no other color, other than the faint hints of red in its eyes, has ever been seen on its body.

Guilt is rarely ever seen actually moving, seemingly just teleporting, around in David's dreams, but when it does approach it’s movements are slow and janky. It takes its time getting to its victim, as if it’s savoring his fear as it makes its way towards him, knowing he’s frozen in place, each step painstakingly slow and jittery. It seemingly just doesn’t have the ability to run, but it has no need to be fast as David is stuck in place out of pure fear once he sees it anyways.

It isn’t able to speak too, either, that or it simply chooses not to. Instead, it makes small noises like low hums, clicking, and the buzzing of static. These noises volume never changes and they always have the same pitch. Guilt doesn’t emote or display emotion, and it is highly unlikely it has any sort of feelings; it is just a figment of David’s imagination after all.
