Stranded in an unfamiliar world, Sebian trudges through the endless desert fighting for survival.
A master of the rifle and dagger, he's become an excellent hunter. he helped where he could, making many friends across the land!
But after years, due to an unavoidable phenomenon, his mind began to fade... His compassion, reasoning and identity his brain could no longer afford.
Only survival instincts remain. Now incapable of understanding speech and most gestures from fellow anthrians, he's considered dangerous, and well... he is.

He's no longer a mere hunter, but a predator.

He does regain himself a little later on, his personality and memories being mostly intact. Mostly.
He has a very cheerful, hyperactive demeanor, but will switch to seriousness on a dime. Nobody gets hurt on his watch.

Setting:
I'll expand this section later. For now imagine a landscape very similar to the one from Sable (game). Same with gliders!
But it's a world where people still struggle for survival and where there are threats. There are predators. Think Sable + Laika + Nausicaa (w/o the toxic jungle)
For now I'll call it Midden, but it's a placeholder. 

Design notes:
- Has two palettes! Primary is yellow-orange-red + teal, secondary is yellow-orange-red-pink-purple
- Non-eye scars can be moved around.
- Right eye always covered (the tissue is sensitive to wind and sand)
- Fur is intended to have a different texture than I usually use... Idk what texture so do whatever u want with it. 
- Eye color can be either golden or brown. Use whichever looks cooler!
- Can have other clothes, just keep the rugged aesthetic. He does live in a desert wasteland after all. Always has a cape. Can have a horned skull mask!
- Gun doesn't have a set type/design, just give him something that works long distance and looks old/cobbled-toghether. Can be both sci-fi or vintage.

Can you imagine? A very intelligent animal, that's capable of using a gun? He only knows survival now so even acts of kindness leave him startled,
because he simply cannot comprehend them anymore.
The phenomenon mentioned is called "Chaos Deficiency Syndrome".
Chaos is the magic in my headworld, so intertwined with life on Gaia, that its residents cannot survive without it.
Sebian ended up in a different world, whose native energy was so fundamentally different, that his body couldn't substitute off of it,
leading his Chaos levels to slowly deplete. As those energy levels dropped, his body began to panic. In an effort to conserve energy,
his brain slowly started losing functions, starting with the least 'necessary' ones, such as math and writing, but as energy dwindled,
he's lost more and more of his mind.
Once there's no more energy left, gradual organ failure sets in, and eventually death.
Sebian's not there yet thankfully, and can still recover, but not without some losses.

Also he's not actually an active threat to the natives, he's just considered dangerous due to his body language*, but he keeps to himself.

* Body language is very important in Midden. People often wear face coverings to keep the sand out, so an expressive body is required for communication.
People who hide their bodies under capes, or who move stiff, are considered suspicious, as them hiding body language points to hiding intention.
After Sebian began to fade, his body language changed drastically. At first he stopped emoting at all, as his emotions have been removed to conserve energy,
so his body movement became far more subtle. Eventually he stopped caring about the cape as well, so others became wary of him.
Now he moves a lot like an ambush predator. Nobody comes close.
