Entry Part 2: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/427474673/ About time I gave in and hopped on the AU bandwagon haha- Honestly, I've wanted to join in for a long time but I had no energy to try and come up with a design on my own so I decided to join this DTA and try my luck! I honestly loved this design the moment I saw this? And the more I thought the more I was like "Yo... Deldemos.." And I don't have the mental capacity or energy to make a brand new OC right now so I just slapped Deldemos in to see if it'd work. Hope you like it! Also Lynx I did pour my entire heart and soul into this entry ---- 1: Digital art- Looks a bit wonky since I haven't actually drawn anything digitally in ages 2-3: Some sketches of his design and stuff- Named the harpoon and gave him some cool new tattoos and some pet piranhas haha 4: Art that totally isn't based off the song noooo ":) 5: Lynx's design 6: Bonus art based off a backstory moment :) ---- Name: Deldemos Duhan Nickname: Black Marlin Status: Assassin (Trained) Gender: Male Age: 31 Deldemos, or as most know him 'Black Marlin', is a man of few words. He is mostly a nod and wave type of guy, not one to stop and chat even with those he'd consider friends (though he does refuse to call them friends, simply coworkers he can tolerate for more than 5 minutes). But what he lacks in social skills he makes up for in sheer brute strength. His weapon of choice is a harpoon, and in his years of working, he has never /ever/ missed a shot. He usually isn't assigned an Alice right off the bat. He is the type of guy who is only called in when things get... Difficult. Maybe an Alice just won't go down, maybe another assassin is having some difficulty, maybe they just want to pass their Alice onto someone else. Whatever it is, Black Marlin is always the backup. And he never fails to deliver. But as cold and deadly as he may be, he is one to toy with the Alices. He likes giving them a sense of victory, a small taste of freedom. The tiniest little taste. In fact, he gives them exactly four seconds, just long enough to load and aim his harpoon. He likes to watch them run. As for his origins, Marlin grew up in a humble little fishing village in Florida. He worked on a deep-sea fishing boat with his father, and when he wasn't out at sea he was home helping his little brother and cooking for him. Though when he was 16 his parents separated, and his brother and mother went to live somewhere else. This left Marlin and his father alone to fend for themselves. Unfortunately, a year later, Marlin was injured in a fishing accident. This left his vocal cords and throat severely damaged and caused him to be unable to speak above a whisper (speaking any louder isn't impossible per se, but it causes a lot of discomfort and can cause him to cough and wheeze a lot). He learned to live with this, and after his father passed he decided to leave town on a whim and pull himself together. Eventually, he adopted an adorable little girl named Panovra. They lived together for four wonderful years, and surprisingly Marlin was a good father! But when she passed at the age of 10, Marlin was grief-stricken and broken. What would he do now? Marlin soon found himself at Wonderland. How he ended up there he didn't know, and what Mad Hatter saw in him he didn't know either. What he did see was an escape. And a place to put his excellent skills with a harpoon to use. This job allowed him to zone out, allowed him to go through the motions, allowed him to forget emotion all together at some point. It was what he needed. And soon he was a cold, apathetic, hardened shell of a man who took orders and did what he had to do without hesitation. But all it took was one blond-haired Alice and a missed shot for that to change completely. Fun Facts: - His necklace was given to him by his daughter. Never touch it. It's his most prized possession. - He has 48 pet piranhas, all of which he takes special care of in his free time. - He can identify any fish on sight, and can also prepare almost any edible fish (including pufferfish) - Because of his injury, he is unable to talk above a whisper, therefore he prefers not to talk at all in some cases. This also means he has taught himself to be fluent in simple ASL and morse code. - Honestly just a fisherman at heart, he grew up doing it, taught his brother to fish, and would have become a lonely fisherman if he hadn't stumbled across Wonderland - Rarely takes his mask off. Honestly, has anyone seen him with his mask off? ---- Oh my goodness here it is- There's so much more that I have planned for this guy but I want to wait and see if I actually get the design until I start info-dumping XD But Worthy and I.. We've been talking. She's helped me figure a bunch of things out :) It's gonna get interesting lemme just say Hope I got everything right though- I tried to read up on the lore of this AU again but I feel like I may have gotten a thing or two wroNG OOF-
