Entro

30 || Male [He/Him] || Asclep University

Queer, Unlabeled || Bday 16th of Umbra

[You may draw him without the metal bits (Myrtle Wreath) or trace it for your drawing, since I don’t really mind]

•𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: The Red Vein — Underground (Ages 16–20), The Scorched Forest (Ages 20–29), Asclep University / Society (Age 30–present)

•𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘀: Alchen (CS) — Will be Blighted when the subtype releases — Metal Element

•𝗛𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁: 264cm (He’s supposed to be unnaturally tall for an Alchen)

•𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀: Entro speaks clearly and steady, but never raises his voice, even in an argument. On top of that he communicates with an unusual, almost riddle-like manner—not through actual riddles, but through phrasing shaped by years of isolation and philosophical reflection in the Scorched Forest. His speech can be difficult to understand unless one is philosophically inclined or knows him well. After returning to society, he becomes self-conscious about this and actively relearns common language. Over time, his speech grows more natural, though he always retains a few philosophical quirks that set him apart.

•𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮: Entro suffers from amnesia caused by the Blight. While the Blight typically manifests through physical degradation, loss of control, and emotional instability in Alchen, Entro’s condition primarily resulted in memory loss. Other symptoms still surface, but years spent living near the Blight—combined with meditation and philosophical grounding—allowed him to partially manage its effects.

•𝗢𝗰𝗰𝘂𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Blacksmith (Ages 16–20), Unemployed / Survivalist (Ages 20–29), University Helper & On-Request Metalworker (Age 30), Rising academic position, hairdressing on the side. Eventually abandons metalwork except for personal projects or requests by close friends (Future)

•𝗖𝗿𝘂𝘀𝗵/𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿: None thus far

•𝗛𝗼𝗯𝗯𝗶𝗲𝘀: Metalwork, braiding and styling hair, helping people, sharing information, reciting literature, writing philosophy

•𝗔𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀: Entro can manipulate small pieces of metal floating around him, allowing him to multitask during metalwork with sufficient focus. When the Blight activates, he gains enhanced strength and other advantages—but loses control over his temper, his metal element and the ability to communicate properly.

•𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲𝘀: Social confrontation, standing his ground, being harsh, any meat from bird-like creatures, wet places (He’s used to dry climate), crowds/loud areas

•𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆/𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘁𝘀: Calm, Friendly, Nervous, Antisocial, Compassionate, Gentle, Supportive, Defeatist/Quitter, Cowardly, No self-confidence, Reliable, Intelligent, Inventive, Strong sense of morality, Adaptable, Dedicated, Earnest, Humble, Resourceful, Respectful, Sensitive, Unstable, Understanding

•𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:

[Qualm:] Entro’s childhood friend, with whom he joined The Red Vein out of financial desperation. They were exploited there for four years before Entro escaped with Qualm’s help. In his fear and cowardice, Entro failed to help Qualm escape with him, leaving Qualm trapped for two more years. When they reunite after Entro returns to society, Entro does not fully remember him due to his amnesia. Qualm remembers everything—and harbors deep resentment. Their relationship escalates later, to be explored in future writing.

[Cain Gravemore:] A teacher at Asclep University who invited Entro into the faction after a coincidental meeting at a faction museum. Cain assists Entro during his initial adjustment but maintains a professional, colleague-based relationship.
