Coil

Coil is a male inphernal/demon who uses he/him pronouns.

APPEARANCE: Coil is a 20-year-old, 173 cm tall, dark-skinned inphernal. His design blends vibrant, urban fashion with bolder elements, featuring his signature contrasting orange and light blue. His horns curve backward from his forehead before curling upward. The left horn is orange, while the right is light blue and has a bright crystal embedded in it, causing cracks to form. A small band-aid is on his face, and his expression is assertive. He wears an orange hoodie with light blue drawstrings and a white Cerberus design on the back, with the sleeves ripped off. His slightly baggy gray pants have a light blue waistband, orange straps, and a light blue lightning pattern. His sneakers are mismatched: orange on the left foot and blue on the right. His arms are wrapped in bandages, each adorned with two blue metal bands and glowing coils of electricity. Glowing tubes are connected directly to his arms, running from his fists toward his shoulders. A byproduct of using his Fusion Mode is that half of his face becomes covered in a crystal-like material that encapsulates his horn, which melts into water after the energy is spent, often leaving him with a leaky right eye for a short time afterwards.

GEAR: Coil’s original gear is the Gravity Coil, which grants him control over gravity. Through experimentation, he developed the Speed Coil (increasing speed) and the Regeneration Coil (healing over time). Using the crystal's power, he can activate all three simultaneously in his Fusion Mode—which he calls "Beast Mode." This mode allows him to deal extreme damage for a few seconds, but it drains his energy so completely that he quickly loses consciousness afterwards. The coils of electricity around his arms change color based on the active mode: blue for Gravity, red for Speed, green for Regeneration, and purple for Fusion. He is skilled in hand-to-hand combat and hits extremely hard when needed, though he prefers to use his wit to avoid confrontation.

PERSONALITY: Coil is an outgoing, competitive, and social inphernal who acts primarily out of self-interest and never takes anything seriously. He loves to poke fun at, tease, and mess with others for his own amusement, often enjoying the misery he causes as ragebait. He comes across as arrogant, impulsive, and tone-deaf, cracking jokes at inappropriate times and hiding behind a layer of irony. Though he may seem purely trouble-making, his actions are not driven by real malice. He is extremely intelligent and resourceful, a fact he often hides because he finds it funny to be underestimated. He is flexible and unserious, refusing to get truly upset or close to anyone. He never divulges details about his past. While he doesn't hesitate to fight, he avoids killing. As a wanted criminal in Craterdust known for stealing tech and energy crystals from the Korblox Administration, he redistributes some to the people and uses the rest for experiments. His complicated relationship with his mentor, Wolf, who found and raised him as a newspawn, informs his self-reliant and guarded nature.

RELATIONS:

• Wolf: His mentor and teacher, a strange inphernal who found a near-death Coil as a newspawn and took him in. Wolf raised him and taught him everything he knows. Their relationship is complicated.
• Skateboard: A close friend who lets the wanted inphernal hide or crash at his house. They support each other in Phights.
• Boombox: A friend he met through Skateboard.
• Slingshot: Coil is a regular at Slingshot’s cafe, Thieves Rest, and considers Slingshot a favorite target for his teasing.
• Subspace: They share an antagonistic relationship after Coil stole some of Subspace's crystals. Subspace has sent Biografts to apprehend him.
• Steampunk: Coil easily defeated him in an underground phighting ring once and forgot about him.

LOCATION: Coil lives with Wolf in the Playground region but rarely stays home due to his wanted status, often crashing at Skateboard's house. He operates as a thief primarily in Craterdust, targeting Korblox Administration warehouses for tech and crystals. He enters underground phighting rings in Playground to hone his skills and participates in professional Phights in Crossroads, often visiting Thieves Rest afterwards. He brings stolen crystals back to Wolf's Abode for experimentation.

Coil has Avoidant Personality Disorder. Avoidant personality disorder is marked by poor self-esteem and an intense fear of rejection. People with the condition often avoid social situations to avoid these feelings. Avoidant personality disorder (AVPD) is a mental health condition that involves chronic feelings of inadequacy and extreme sensitivity to criticism. People with AVPD would like to interact with others, but they tend to avoid social interactions due to their intense fear of rejection. AVPD is one of a group of conditions called “Cluster C” personality disorders. They involve anxiety and fear. Personality disorders are lasting patterns of behavior that are out of touch with cultural norms (how we’re expected to act) and develop in childhood or adolescence. They cause distress for the person with the condition and/or those around them. The main sign of avoidant personality disorder is having such a strong fear of rejection that you choose isolation over being around people. This pattern of behavior can vary from mild to extreme. Other signs and behaviors of avoidant personality disorder include: Having a poor self-image, seeing themselves as inadequate and inferior. Being overly concerned about criticism or disapproval. May be reluctant to become involved with others unless they know for sure that others will like them. Experiencing extreme anxiety (nervousness) and fear in social settings and relationships. This may lead them to avoid activities or jobs that involve being with others. Being shy and self-conscious in social situations due to a fear of doing something wrong or feeling embarrassed. Tending to exaggerate potential problems or misinterpret feedback as negative. Seldom trying anything new or taking chances.

Coil has dreads with orange and cyan beads, usually has his dreads up in a ponytail with some bangs in front to look cool.

Coil has wolf ears, fangs, claws (Only on hands), is more agile than the average Inphernal, and has a fluffy wolf tail. Coil is also Afro Brazilian Thai, but only speaks AAVE, English, Portuguese, Mexican Spanish, and Spain Spanish.
