[b]Gender:[/b] ♂ [b]Age:[/b] 23 (18 or so in Adventure Time version) [b]Ability:[/b] "Cursed" to suck in any and all forms of magic, no matter what form it takes in a setting. (e.g. heat vision, elemental manipulation, mind reading, etc.) This typically renders him completely immune to all magical/fantastical attacks and effects. Physical objects lose all magically imposed momentum as they touch him and magically generated attacks pass over him like a gentle breeze. He gains the ability to bite through and digest any magical object or creature he can fit in his mouth with no adverse effects. He can both smell and taste magic, perceiving it as sweet in both ways, and sense magic or enchantments in his vicinity, though he cannot discern their nature. If someone other than him is capable of smelling magic, he would smell of caramel. [b]Weaknesses/Limitations:[/b] The "Curse" part is that Ink needs to regularly consume magic or he will gradually lose his ability to control himself around magic wielders, eventually going completely feral followed by starving to death as his life force is used as a substitute. The curse brands him with a tattoo-like marking of an eye, which can be made to move along his skin slowly. Causing damage to the tattoo will immediately force him to violently spit up recently consumed magic, which disperses harmlessly in the atmosphere and immediately pushes him to the brink of starvation. [b]Combat Equipment:[/b] Carries around an ornate dagger enchanted to draw magic out of a victim, coalescing it onto the blade's tip. This allows him to absorb the magic of a victim without literally eating them. He calls it the Inkwell. He stole it from members of the cult that gave him his curse while trying to track down the actual perpetrators and figure out the purpose of it. He also tends to carry around "cursed" candy, as a way to satiate himself in emergencies. He tells the enchanter he commissions to go nuts on them, and so they all contain random effects, most of which are dangerous. [b]Personality:[/b] Ink is nonchalant and kind of lazy. He generally tries to stay cool and collected but lacks impulse control. He has a weak conscience and is somewhat untrusting, though besides his curse's main downside, he's an open book. He's pragmatic and somewhat lacking in moral principles, though he at least values basic courtesy. He often can't resist being snarky and generally doesn't care what others think of him. He has a penchant for theft and an addictive personality. He's addicted to sugar and especially soda. [b]History:[/b] Comes from the prestigious Lysander family, known for producing skilled Paladins throughout the generations, and Ink was no different. As family tradition dictated, Ink was trained from a young age to become a Paladin; their iconic brand of Knight. To be a Paladin was to be a Vanguard; a beacon of hope and righteousness. The Paladin title itself is venerated, containing historical significance, and Lysander Paladins sometimes became elected officials (or other setting-appropriate position of power) simply because of the public and political clout granted by the title. The fighting style of a Paladin is associated with light magic, and likewise typically flashy and garish, making them stand out among their peers - as if the specialized training regimen wasn't enough. In addition, Paladins are taught to follow a strict code of conduct, upholding justice and righteousness wherever possible. Ink didn't exactly enjoy this style of upbringing. The expectations both internal and external were crushing. The code of conduct was a load of bullshit and he didn't even think Paladins were cool from a spectator's perspective. They were overdramatic and excessive and he'd rather just have literally any other form of magic than the holier-than-thou shit constantly touted by his tutors as the ultimate in [i]"heroism"[/i]. Ink didn't want to be a hero. He didn't want to dedicate his life to serving [i]the people[/i]; it seemed like a thankless job, and being a B-list (or even an A-list) celebrity just meant losing his privacy and being judged over every little thing he did. Still, he pretended to go along with it, up until the many enemies accumulated by the Lysander family over the years came back to haunt them. Ink and his family were attacked by a group of cultists. His parents were killed and he himself was subject to a strange curse that he has yet to fully determine the true nature of. Although he has his family wealth to fall back on, purchasing enchanted objects for his newfound voracious appetite was slowly bleeding him dry, leaving him no choice but to seek an occupation he can better use to help his current predicament. [hider=History in an Adventure Time Setting]Ink is a Magic-Eater, a demon-like creature originating from the Nightosphere. Among species to appear in the show, they are most similar to Bella Noche, though not quite as threatening. They absorb magic as sustenance, including the effects of magic on anything. Magic spells could tide one over, but not even skilled Mages can satisfy a Magic-Eater's appetite forever. The diet of a Magic-Eater normally consists of magical creatures, enchanted items, magic attacks, or wizards themselves. For this reason, Magic-Eaters like to surround themselves in magic, keeping stockpiles of magical items and living near magical places. Besides the weird eye marking, they are indistinguishable from a normal person, which makes them very good at blending in up until the point they sink their teeth into you. The Land of Ooo is full of creatures borne of magic, and for that reason Magic-Eaters are generally confined to the deepest depths of the Nightosphere to minimize the damage they can cause. Ink, with some help, managed to break out of their prison, break into Hunson Abadeer's house, and escape the Nightosphere. He's been wandering Ooo, terrorizing the magic flora and fauna ever since, disrupting the balance of nature everywhere he goes just by breathing. (Optional) Ink has acquired amnesia, forgetting what he is, where he is, or why the [url=https://i.imgur.com/vmIai0s.png]Autumn Princess[/url] is trying to kill him. Apparently he took [url=https://i.imgur.com/YN5csCN.png]her whole castle[/url] and just put it in the sky? Somehow? It's just floating around up there? Naturally, he can't remember how he got amnesia either.[/hider]
