Description

:iconrevoice:
tick, tock

⧗ Name: Ritto
⧗ Age: ... (appears around 16-17)
⧗ Birthday: 12/21
⧗ Gender:  they/them but they are also accustomed and even frequent to using he/him
⧗ Orientation:  demisexual panromantic
⧗ Species: deathwalker(demon)

⧗ Height: 5'1
⧗ Build: slightly curvy but slender
⧗ Hair Color: white
⧗ Eye Color: white

⧗ Title: pandemonium
⧗ Skill:
 Clockwork Waltz
Ritto is able to use his smokey tail to create the two weapons in the shape of clock hands to wield in combat by manipulating, shaping and solidifying the mass into something materialistic. The weapons are sharp, especially at the ends and some of the edges and unbreakable in their form. He's able to summon these out rather quickly when he needs to but what he can make is limited to solely the clock hands, having focused all of his self training on them, due to the size and complexity that he can make. Ritto is also able to 'connect' the two weapons and use them similarly to a staff in combat. For visual reference, his weapons can be seen here.  He can change the size of them but the longer one can get to a little over the length/height of Ritto but is a bit more haphazard to wield. The smallest they can get is the size of a key!

Minor Skill(s): 
⧖ Monochrome
A passive ability that makes things lose their color and turn monochrome within a controlled 10-20 foot diameter, creating an area of affect as he goes. (For visual comparison, that of someone approaching with a lantern and the light slowly illuminating the area, but instead of light its just an effect of loss of color). This skill is more so like a trait and in shifted form, Ritto is unable to control the monochromic spread and it can spread outside the given area of affect. However, in hybrid form he's able to suppress it more readily, or prevent it from spreading all together. Ritto is under high stress however, this skill is not able to be controlled and generally starts to spread again, but as he starts to calm down, it will go back to the general area of affect and be within his control again.

⧖ Deathwalker
This is Ritto's shifted form. Ritto's other form is made up of an intangible shadowy mass, similar to smoke, that 'wears' a clock mask and drifts along. He is unable to control the monochrome spread while he's in this form, as the color drain spreads as if to let others know of his presence. Despite its tangibility, this form is very vulnerable and if the mask he wears takes damages or cracks, they're equivalent to wounds to Ritto, as the mask is the only non-tangible thing on him. The mask is sturdy like bone but not unbreakable. If broken, Ritto will be left in an immobile and unresponsive state, until the mask is healed with a healing spell(potions wont work). Healing the mask would be equivalent to healing his body essentially and would take some time depending on the healer. Once the mask is healed, he'll become mobile again but in a haze for the next hour at least, depending on how badly the mask was broken. For visual ref, it's sorta like this  and its only a bit shorter than ritto, but can expand its mass a little to make it look more intimidating. The mask size is also a little bigger than Ritto's!

⧖ The other side
Ritto is able to make out spirits and ghosts within the area, and even hear them depending on the circumstance. Deathwalkers aren't fully 'living' beings, ringing true to their name, but he cannot access the ghostly planes.

⧖ Pendulum
Ritto is able to cast illusions upon a target or targets within a 15 ft radius. These illusions, are as stated, only illusions and not able to physically injure the target in which he's casting it on, and essentially to cast it, Ritto creates an aoe(area of affect) that these illussions can take effect in. Through focus, Ritto however, can select the targets within the aoe that it affects, just in case an ally is within the area! The illusions themselves are aimed to create almost a 'jumpscare' or a terrifying sight to deter or scare off a foe. Some examples of this are is a black water flood in the area, clusters of spiders suddenly appearing, or all of the area around the foe starting to decay, etc. He can hold these illusions for up to 3 rounds with a cooldown of two rounds before he can use them again.
  • Note: Ritto can use these to tie into his weapons, so that when he stabs or slashes a foe, the illusion can seem like its coming from the wound itself to appear as if it injured them worse than it actually did, but the effect still only lasts up to three rounds.
Devour
A diet of a deathwalker usually consists of 'consuming' fear surfacing from an individual. If there's no element of fear from anyone in the area, they can try to use their illussions to create it but they can survive without it, and prefer highly to the alternative of eating normal food. Normal food is still sustainable, just provides a bit less than fear would and is rather sensitive on their tastebuds. They need to feed at least once within a span of 1 to 2 weeks, through either consuming fear or food before their energy starts depleating and their stamina risks going down. (For stat ref, to 1 or 2)

Weapon: Dual hands of a clock 
Weapon Type:  Dual, close ranged
Combat Style: When Ritto is in his hybrid form, he's rather up front and graceful, wielding his clock hand weapons as if he were dancing almost, but a bit ruthless in his methods with both illussions and quick paced combat.

⧗ Home Region:  Honeydew
⧗ History: 

Ritto was a demon that once lived out his life in secrecy within the streets of Bittermelon, having traveled to the country of palette after many years of wandering. The nature of the country hid his monochromatic abilities well and blended into the natural society, but due to dedicated self training in his travels prior, was also very able to protect himself if the time came to it. When in Bittermelon however, Ritto was never really able to get close to anyone and remained rather timid in nature, silently watching the people come and go and make as small of a presence as he could. To survive, sometimes he'd stay on the outskirts and try to live off eating some of the wild plants in the area.

This went on for several years until his time of secrecy had ended and a group of unfamiliar individuals ended up in the area, and Ritto was taken from his peaceful life and transported to a new one. He was almost neutral in his adaptation and gave to submission to the whims of those individuals until an opportunity presented itself to leave.

Luckily due to a turn of events, he escaped from that lifestyle and made his way to Honeydew instead, where he then traveled through a forest near a village. Due to the kind nature of the people in the village, he was permitted residence in the community instead of having to take to too much hiding, despite he was still a bit wary.

Ritto became fairly close with a few select individuals that accepted him, and more or less became rather fond of the village in its entirety. He learned a few things along the way from some of the villagers and took to helping out whenever he was needed, and even as almost a guard at times to deter others from hostile intentions with the use of his illusions. However, despite the village being fairly peaceful, one day a group of individuals suddenly raided the village, trying to steal what they could and terrorize the villagers residing there. Ritto was rather protective of this village and brought out the full nature of his abilities publicly, summoning dual weapons and single handedly incapacitating the intruders with clear experience and skill, but with enough control to refrain from taking any of their lives with an agreement that they would return what they stole and retreat. 

An Enhalo scout that had been in the area and seen the display and took him into their custody after deeming him overly capable but suitable for the demigod program. Ritto was reluctant but submitted and began a new life at Enhalo, a dearest friend accompanying him along the way. Perhaps it won't be too bad after all..

⧗ Overview: Ritto shows a constant curiousity for the world and everything in it, yet hold little self worth and confidence in themselves on personal levels. They continue to exist for their own sake and others however, and adapt to things around them, albeit slowly at times but they have good intentions. He's fiercly loyal to those he makes bonds with and will stop at nothing to protect them but rather cautious with those he shares no ties with, but still extends empathy. When in regards to social interactions with most, Ritto is rather shy and constantly tries to avoid coming across as intimidating and instead, taking on a passive and almost submissive and docile demeanor with most to avoid conflict, remaining more as a listener than a speaker-- for more than one reason, one being his lack of actual speaking voice. Despite that, he is rather expressive and attempts to communicate through gestures or the 'languages' they know, which are sign language and morse code.

Miscellaneous: 
♢ Ritto has a clock mask that he wears about 90 percent of the time, and only takes it off around people he trusts more than others, and maybe occasionally if prompted, depending on the person. He's kind of shy about it though..
♢ The clock mask is generated partly from his soul and due to him being a specific type of demon, its also a weak point. 
    The mask: The mask Ritto wears is a working and sometimes silently ticking clock, and is an 'extension' of his soul basically. It goes by real time, adjusting to the actual time in the area he's in automatically. The clock mask is generally what takes damage when Ritto gets hurt, despite actual wounds still appear and hurt just as regular wounds, but it causes cracks to appear on the mask as well. The more injured Ritto is, the more the mask is cracked-- and if Ritto were to perish, the mask will break entirely.
♢ Ritto is rather observant of others gestures and sometimes even picks up on them. Similarly to a cat(whom he gained it from), Ritto purrs when contented-- though its a bit of a mixture of ticks and rumbles..
♢ Ritto is unable to speak but does have a 'voice' technically, but only is able to make very quiet sounds. For example, when he sighs, or hiccups, things like that. When he's wearing his mask, its even softer and almost echo-y.
♢ Ritto's communication consists mostly of creating shapes out of his smokey mass as if gesturing or through sign language..Additionally, Ritto also knows Morse code, which he often translates through ticking like a clock with the use of his 'voice' and is/was the official communication between deathwalkers. 
♢ The white flecks on his face are freckles and are dusted all over his body.
♢ The deathwalkers are a very spirit like species, but he's definitely very able to take mortal damage, and like other deathwalkers, he could be wiped out of existence.
♢ Ritto's blood is black and his entire color composition is monochromatic. 
♢ Ritto's name was given to him and means 'the start of winter solstice', based on the lunar calendar.
♢ Ritto's clock hand weapons are based off the hands of the clock on his mask. It took a very long time to become good with them, both making them and crafting them. Thankfully they don't require alot of strength to wield and almost weightless because of what they're made from.
