Alphatale: alternate versions of the characters/My own OCs

Conduit of Decay

He would later meet with the Bio-Conduit of Pre-Eminence himself, named Merus, who would also have a bond with Disorder, the current Forbidden Conduit of Disorder. Surprisingly, they were able to get along with Merus when Death despised him for who he is. And as such, he made a sure that his relationship with Merus is kept a secret from their own father. But then...a horrible betrayal had happened. One of the Conduits named O'Brien, the Conduit of Passion, had killed the Conduit of Life, with Bastian, the Conduit of Power, having joined in with the betrayal. Decay, enraged by this, joined with the Conduit it Ambition, Nolan, in order to make both of the Conduits pay for this act. The battle was difficult, and although the battle was difficult for them and O'Brien and Bastian managed to get away, they did not leave unscathed. But Life was still dead, and the damage was done.

After what happened, Death returned to his former self, but much colder than before. Because of this, Liminality, Purification, and Decay decided to give Death some space that he needs in order to grieve for the death of the one he loves, feeling that he needs this. And so, Decay, Liminality, and Purification left Death, and set out on their own journeys. In spite of it all, they still visit each other from time to time, even when it involves meeting Merus, which all 3 siblings are surprised that they are all acquainted with him on. As such, they all agree to be with him and have some fun with him whenever they have the chance to do so. But even after all this, the betrayal still scared the mind of Decay.

Appearance:

Decay is shown to be an unnaturally tall Conduit, being able to slightly surpass even both Corruption and Purification in terms of sheer height. He is shown to be wearing some clothes that appears to be worn out and breaking down, the clothes being consist of a black jacket with a grey shirt and black pants. The clothes have a lot of holes in them as well as some thread that is all over the place, with the hood being over the head of Decay, obscuring his face in darkness and not showing what his own face looks like. However, underneath his clothes, his body is shown to resemble being in a state of advanced decomposition, with some of his bones showing in the holes of decayed flesh, especially with its long hair that is present underneath the hood, which is shown to be long enough to reach down to his own ankles.

Personality:

Decay is shown to be somewhat of a combination between both of its parents. Like Death, Decay is a cold and distant person, often staying to themself whenever they can, but like Darkness, Decay is a cunning and wise being, always knowing how to twist the situation into their favor and get their way. It is shown to be a bit of a loner type of person, wanting to be by themself and be left to its own devices. But unlike their parents, as it has traveled around the Edensphere, visiting residents of the Eden Trees and the Twisted Lands, meeting various types of Conduits and Forbidden Conduits, both good and bad, Decay lacks the prejudice to hate those that are considered taboo, seeing that they are just as much individuals as the normal Conduits themselves. As such, unlike most Conduits, Decay treats any and all types of Conduits equally, even when he hates those that he is enemies against.

In spite of his cold side, Decay is shown to be rather kind deep down, especially when it involves his half-siblings, Liminality and Purification, and treats them with a kind hand, and gets along with them very well, to the point that he is very protective of them. He is shown to be very good at reading the emotional state of others and can deduce of what they are feeling by just some body gestures that they make. However, it still keeps their cold attitude, but this is to cover how much they care for them deep down and rarely drops this cold act of his on special occasions.

Powers and Abilities:

Conduit of Decay: Being the embodiment of rot and decomposition, Decay has control over all aspects of decay throughout the verse. Life grows, dies, and then withers and is constant, being as constant as Death.
