HUNTER - TOH

Character info Hunter Deamonne is a 22-year-old bisexual grimwalker who goes by he/him/himself. He’s an awkward, yet kind individual, though he’s slow to trust people because of his PTSD. He’s bad at expressing and communicating his emotions and usually resorts to arrogance to mask his emotions whenever he’s stressed. Despite this, he has good intentions and is trying to improve himself. Hunter lives on the Boiling Isles. It’s a magical world parallel to our own, inhabited by witches and many species of demons. Witches are very humanoid, but have pointed ears and some unnatural eye colors like yellow, orange, and purple. Witches also have magic and cast spells by drawing circles in the air with their finger. The bigger the spell circle, the bigger the spell. Demons come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, some of them having magic as well. The Boiling Isles is also a civilization formed on the skeletal remains of a giant beast called the Titan, which is basically their god. Hunter is neither demon nor witch, but rather a grimwalker. His old father figure, emperor Belos, was once a human named Philip Wittebane. He lived on Earth in the 1600s as a witch hunter with his brother Caleb. Caleb fell in love with a witch named Evelyn who could travel between realms using a portal, and he followed her back in the demon realm, with Philip close behind. Caleb was open-minded to witches, but Philip saw all of them as evil. He ended up killing his brother after he got Evelyn pregnant, and wracked with guilt, he created a clone, or grimwalker, of Caleb to help him rise to power to wipe out all magical life in the Boiling Isles. Whenever the grimwalker betrays him, he kills it and creates another. Philip eventually changes his name to Belos, and becomes emperor, claiming he could speak to the Titan and dividing the magic of the witches and demons into nine covens: Abomination, bard, beastkeeping, construction, healing, illusions, oracle, plant, and potions, along with the Emperor’s Coven where your magic isn’t limited to one of these. It was illegal to be outside a coven once you graduate, and “wild witches” as they’re called were sometimes put to death. When you are placed into a coven, you’re given a sigil that restricts your magic to the type in the coven, but Belos used the sigils to complete a draining spell on the eclipse, or “Day of Unity”, killing anyone with a sigil. Hunter was raised thinking that Belos was his uncle, and that their whole family was killed via wild magic. His last name used to be Wittebane. He was working for the emperor in his coven as the Golden Guard despite only being 16. While Hunter was under the impression that Belos is a good person, he was often manipulated and abused both physically and emotionally, causing him to have suicidal thoughts, trust issues and PTSD. He also never interacted with people his age since he was the only one in the coven under 18, leaving him isolated. That is, until he captured some palismen, little creatures carved from magical wood that act as a witch’s staff, to bring to the emperor. No one in the Emperor’s Coven were able to have staffs because Belos eats their souls to maintain his physical form after being alive for hundreds of years. But he bonds with one of the palismen, Flapjack (he/him), who he secretly keeps. Through trying to find new recruits and going on missions, he meets a stable support system. A human named Luz Noceda (she/her), her witch girlfriend, Amity Blight (she/her), Willow Park (she/her) and Augustus (Gus) Porter (he/him), along with Abomination Coven head Darius Deamonne (he/him), whom Hunter sees as his father figure, and wild witch Edalyn Clawthorne (she/her), who was Luz’s foster mom when she was stuck in the Boiling Isles. Eventually, the Day of Unity came, and Luz’s foster brother, a baby titan named King (he/him), summoned a powerful entity called The Collector (he/they), who stopped the draining spell, but also made the castle start to crumble, causing Hunter and his friends to have to escape into the human realm. He’s trapped there for a few months, and picks up sewing as a hobby, and started to become hyperfixated on wolves and a sci-fi book series called Cosmic Frontier. But he starts experiencing hallucinations of Belos, which is because he has managed to come into the human realm and possess him to get the Titan’s blood to return to the Boiling Isles. Hunter tries to drown himself to kill Belos, but Luz’s biological mom, Camilla (she/her), saves him. Belos manages to escape Hunter’s body, barely keeping his physical form, and Flapjack allows Hunter to absorb his soul to save him, thus killing Flapjack. Grieving from the loss of his palisman, Hunter returns to the Boiling Isles through the portal Belos made with the titan’s blood. Turns out, while he was gone, The Collector had been turning people into puppets, keeping them in their private collection, and everyone except for Luz ends up being collected. Amity manages to wake them up, and they find that Luz had successfully defeated and killed Belos, saving the Boiling Isles. Hunter continues to live as a normal teenager, joining Hexside and staying until his graduation. Four years of repairs later, Hunter starts a business carving palismen, and has a new blue jay palisman called Waffle (she/her). Present day, he has been running his business for a year and his PTSD getting better. He had changed his last name from Wittebane to Deamonne, for he sees Darius as his true father figure, and has gotten a tattoo of Flapjack where his coven sigil once was. He is considers Gus and Willow his best friends, and Luz his sister.

Appearance Hunter is a couple centimeters shorter than average, with scarred, pale skin and blonde hair that reaches around his mid neck. His eyes are brown and he has somewhat bushy eyebrows. He wears a dark bluish gray undershirt and a rust-colored apron which holds his supplies for carving wood. On the apron are patches that represent his favorite people: a patch with an abomination on it to represent Darius, a patch with the letters “EE” to represent Willow’s sports team, the Emerald Entrails, of which she is captain, and a magnifying glass to represent Gus, who to this day is his best friend. Under his apron, he wears brown baggy jeans and red tennis shoes.
