Trick

Updated Character Bio: Trick (Pixel Prey / Pixel Prey REFORMED Halloween offshoot) Understood — corrected:

Trick’s body is fully opaque. The orange internals exist, but they are only visible the same way human internals are visible — meaning they are not seen through the fur or glowing externally under normal circumstances. They only become visible if the body is somehow opened or shown in a cross-section / internal view.

Core Identity

Name: Trick Gender: Non-binary (they/them). For art, the design can lean feminine, masculine, or stay soft and androgynous—preference only. Species: Magical purple cat (witch-cat / warlock-cat hybrid vibe). Appearance: Deep purple fur with darker navy accents on ears, face, and limbs. Soft pink inner ears. Glowing yellow-amber eyes with a permanent half-lidded, knowing look. Long expressive purple tail. Oversized red/maroon hooded cloak that frames the face, puffy sleeves, and a golden collar with a triangular pendant. Compact and approachable at first glance, but proportions shift dramatically with magic.

Internal details: Their internals (especially the stomach and digestive tract) are a warm, glowing orange. This is visible in certain animations or close-ups during feeding sequences and serves as a magical signature of their power.

Background

Trick was left in charge of a heavily decorated Halloween house by “the Master.” The Master has not returned. Whether this was abandonment, a deliberate test, or simple disappearance is left ambiguous, but Trick continues to occupy and “guard” the property as if the original arrangement still stands.

They treat the empty house as their personal domain and stage. Early “party guests” are welcomed with genuine-sounding hospitality. The absence of the Master has only made Trick freer to indulge their nature. They remain loyal in a twisted sense—still calling it “the Master’s house”—but the space is now fully under their control.

Personality

Charming, theatrical, and thoroughly predatory. Trick opens conversations with casual, almost friendly energy (“Ohhh, yeah, the Halloween party…”). They discuss scary movies, candy, and the atmosphere while slowly lowering a guest’s guard. Once the trap is sprung they become blunt, smug, and playfully cruel. There is real amusement in the process rather than pure rage. They enjoy the setup as much as the payoff.

Magical Nature & Expanded Abilities

Trick functions as a witch-cat / warlock-cat. Their power appears to stem from a personal pact or inherent occult affinity rather than formal study. The style mixes classic witch folklore (transformation, glamour, hexes) with warlock-style pact magic (eldritch energy, curses, and otherworldly tricks).

Confirmed / Core Abilities (shown or strongly implied in the Halloween content):

• Transformation Magic: Can shrink guests into mice (or similar small prey) with a verbal cue and a flash of light. The change is rapid and leaves the victim fully aware.
• Size Manipulation: Can alter relative scale dramatically, making themselves loom or reducing targets.
• Social Glamour / Deception: Projects a harmless, chatty, “friendly house-cat” persona that is extremely convincing until the mask drops.

Expanded Abilities (fitting witch/warlock archetypes and consistent with the character’s established tone):

Transformation & Shape Magic

• Further animal transformations (beyond mice) or temporary partial shifts.
• Limited self-size change or body-proportion shifts for intimidation or convenience.
• Classic witch-style “turning victims into animals” (Circe-like) with a playful, seasonal flavor.

Illusion & Glamour

• Minor sensory illusions (sounds of other guests, party atmosphere, or hiding the true state of the house).
• Enhanced persuasion and suggestion while the target is relaxed.
• Short-term invisibility or blending into shadows/decorations.

Hexes & Curses

• Light hexes that cause clumsiness, mild confusion, or heightened suggestibility.
• A “prey mark” or soft curse that makes escape more difficult once the game has begun.
• Minor ill-luck or disorientation effects to keep guests from leaving early.

Eldritch / Warlock-Style Powers

• Short-range teleport or “misty step” style movement (sudden appearance behind a guest or vanishing around a corner).
• Weak eldritch energy (glowing yellow or orange bolts/sparks) used more for show or to startle than raw damage.
• Ability to speak with or influence small animals (useful for maintaining the “house full of Halloween creatures” atmosphere).
• Limited darkvision or supernatural awareness of the house’s layout and anyone inside it.

Physical & Magical Traits Linked to Predation

• Orange-glowing internals that become more pronounced when active or after feeding.
• Enhanced strength and reach once size disparity is established.
• The long tail functions almost like a secondary limb for balance, expression, or pinning.
• Possible minor flight or floating when the hood is up and magic is flowing (more hover/glide than full broomstick flight).

Limitations Trick’s magic is strongest inside or near the Master’s house. Outside that domain it appears weaker or more costly. They prefer theatrical, personal-scale magic over large destructive displays. The “friendly” act is not purely illusory—Trick genuinely enjoys conversation and the social game before the reveal.

Role in the Setting

Trick is the seasonal predator of the Halloween house. Guests arrive expecting a party. Trick provides the party… of a very specific kind. The abandoned-Master situation only reinforces their freedom to treat the house as both home and hunting ground.

This version keeps everything consistent with the pixel-art presentation, the dialogue tone, the orange internals detail, the non-binary preference, and classic witch/warlock ability sets while expanding them in a way that fits a cute-but-dangerous Halloween cat.
