Why reject the suffering, when you can embrace what the suffering gives you, so you can give it back to the person that wronged you?- Tartarus

Tartarus is the result of Merus when he saw the death of his friend, Reia, with Merus' pain and trauma of losing his friend so great that the pain ends up leading to the creation of Tartarus, who is the split-personality of Merus.

Backstory:

Merus hadn't been the same ever since the death of Reia, a new close friend of his. Throughout the days, Merus had nightmares of what had happened for her, due to the Forbidden Conduit of Corruption having killed him before her eyes. He would often hear her sounds of struggle when she was in Corruption's grip, and the sounds of her death, which made Merus stressed and being unable to sleep, with Edra having do whatever she can in order to ease the trauma of the pain he had to go through, even to the point of trying to push the memories of what happened back into his mind, the feelings of the pain and suffering that Merus had felt so it won't be felt by him. However, Edra's attempt to do that had an undesirable and unexpected affect. As the bad memories and terrible feelings continued to move to a singular point, it began to...make something. At first, it was formless, and could not make out as anything, being only a shake of a black foggy mist inside of his mind. But as time went on, and Merus' continued growth, the most began to change shape, it began to think, it began to speak inside of his mind, the traumatic thoughts and memories began to form a sentient personality of his own, to the point that it began to take on an identity of his own, called Tartarus.

Tartarus, inside the mind of Merus, acts as sort of an imaginary friend to Merus in a way, being polite and friendly to him and his allies and mother, but in the presence of those that are his enemies...that behavior become different, as he becomes similar to Corruption to an extent, becoming malevolent and vile, wanting to cause as much suffering to them, which Merus would normally be against and would be a little scared of Tartarus for what he is. But in spite of this, Tartarus cares for Merus to an extent, even if it is in his own twisted way, as he does all that he can to make sure that Merus is safe and sound, even being with him whenever he grows up, and whenever he is in trouble, he will be there to help and aid him from anything, even if he has to do the same thing as what Merus' most hated enemy had done in order to make sure that Merus does not suffer anymore.

Appearance:

Tartarus takes on the shape of Merus, although he has an extremely different appearance compared to Merus. Merus' resembles a shadow of him to an extent, with black clothes, with the scorpion of the hair which is glowing white hair, only being identifiable by the white outlines on them. Tartarus' face is shown to be a bit scary, because instead of Merus' usual face, instead is a pair of white irises and sharp white glowing teeth, with claws in his hands and an imp tail coming out from behind him. He is shown to be floating in the air constantly. When manifesting through Merus' physical body, Tartarus takes on the same appearance as his mental self, but the tail is not present.

Personality:

Tartarus is the embodiment of Merus' pain, trauma, and hatred molded into him. To those that Merus hates or rather just wants to kill Merus, Tartarus despises them and would do whatever it takes to make sure they pay for what they've done to him in the past. He is cold, sadistic, and cruel, as well as being similar to Corruption, malevolent and vile, as he wants nothing more then to make those that hurt him suffer for the terrible acts of hatred and cruelty that they have done to him. He is cold and uncaring to them, as well as being even more unforgiving than Merus, wanting to make them feel Merus' pain so that they can suffer for eternity, with Tartarus even taking some sort of sick twisted pleasure in causing them to suffer, even make sure their suffering continues before their very last life ends with no inch of remorse from him at all.
