When the pale king closed the door and sentenced his children to doom, this one hung on. No matter how much his hands hurt, he pushed himself to hang on. At last, the shaking stopped, and he pulled himself up. He had not yet been touched by the void. And that day, he swore to get back at his father. He found cracks, and escaped into the ancient basin, and from there he made it to the city of tears. He met the nailsmith, and told the nailsmith his story. The nailsmith fashioned him a curved blade. He couldn't find a way to fasten it to his back, so he just affixed it to his horn. He named himself Mantis, and set out to get his revenge. Soon he encountered the infection. While at first scared, he soon became intrigued. He studied it for a while, attempting to harness its power. He saw how efficient it was at destroying the Pale King's creation, and he couldn't topple an empire on his own. He considered taking it in, but that would sacrifice his conscious thought. He revisited the abyss, entering by the crack he had escaped through. He soon devised a plan. There was only one thing left he needed. S P O O N S. He asked the nailsmith to make two spoons for him. The nailsmith was confused, but complied. Mantis took one spoon and scooped up some of those infectiony bubbly thingies. Whatever they're called. Mantis ventured down into the abyss, to the lake of liquid void. If he stayed there too long, he too would become a void being. He spooned up the void. He had one spoon in each hand, one holding light, the other holding dark. Without a second thought, he shoved each spoon into one of his eyes. Mantis was now a void being and an infected being. He possessed conscious thought, and the power of both elements. And he can talk.
Using this method, Mantis can hep other vessels talk, because if vessels can't talk that would be a very boring rp amirite sign up sheet thingy: Name: Mantis Gender: Male Infected: Partially. He is half infected, half void. This grants him the power of both elements, and he still has conscious thought. Role: two abilities. one, I can help vessels get their mind back. Two, I'm a pretty good fighter. My one goal is to destroy any remainder of the pale king's rule. Species: Nobody knows what it's called, but it's pretty obvious I'm a child of the pale king and the white lady. Strengths: Will never give up Weaknesses: Will never give up
