Senki

Senki is a young man with wavy blonde hair, a right blue eye and a dull brown left eye, and small light-blue stud earrings. He is very tall, towering over the citizens of Paradise. Before he was driven to insanity, he was once a gentle, kind, and outgoing young man when he was a teacher. He was always patient with his students and sis everything he could to help them. After the school massacre and his retirement from Paradise as a whole, he returned as a serious, quiet, and introverted type of person. Once he was driven to insanity, he became a bloodthirsty, sadistic, and toxic monster who has little to no sympathy for anyone who stood in his way(save for children and infants.)

After he went insane, Senki gained an IQ of 263 due to teaching himself survival skills during the Octo Epidemic Incident . This gains him mass knowledge on different types of weapons, specifically guns, and even regaining the ability to write.

Speed is only effective if he smokes catnip. This causes the world around him to become slow. If Senki suffers a fatal injury, he can exhale a cloud of white smoke and breathe in it. This instantly patches up any injury he has.

Senki has a very flexible body. This allows him to be able to dodge bullets with inhuman grace.

Anyone infected with Octo Syndrome is able to pass the ability of "Primal Fear" on to other people if they make eye contact. However, it’s different with Senki. If one is unfortunate enough to make eye contact with him, they start to hallucinate their greatest fears(This is, however, a rare thing, so he can’t use it constantly. He is aware of this, and he has managed to dial it down to only intimidate people and paralyze them.) This gives him the opportunity to kill them on the spot.

Since Senki rarely speaks(mainly because thanks to the Octo Syndrome, he can only grunt and growl), he is able to trespass or sneak up on people without being detected.

Because of his constant inhalation of healing smoke, Senki can withstand even the most fatal injuries.

Not much can be said about this ability except that Senki’s eyes can glow in the dark, possibly signaling that he can see through darkness.

Despite these abilities, Senki also has weaknesses such as:

If Senki is to look in a mirror, he becomes an entirely different person. This is because the Octo Syndrome has never fully taken over his brain. There is still a decent chunk of who he used to be. This won’t last long, however, since he will then proceed to give himself a concussion, which is the only way to bring back his unstable side.

Following the weakness above, he stays unconscious for a long period of time(10-20 minutes total. However, there are rare occasions where he stays unconscious for only 5 seconds.)

Even though he is somewhat immortal, he can still feel pain like a normal person. Though he manages to power through it, there is a rare occasion where he can’t handle it. This leaves him vulnerable.

If a child or baby is present, his parental instincts will take over, and he will start to take care of said child.

Senki was once a preschool teacher for an average elementary school. He enjoyed teaching his young students and always looked after them like they were his own, always going to great lengths just to protect them. And just like how he saw his students as family, his students and even their parents saw him as a professional caretaker. Unfortunately, that all had to change. Everything was going normally until an announcement from the intercoms told all the teachers to barricade all openings of their classroom due to a dangerous intruder breaking past their security measures.

Senki did so without question and made sure that the children hid somewhere safe. By the time he hid the last child, the intruder had managed to break into his classroom. Senki had managed to put up a good fight, but he was unfortunately put into unconsciousness due to a shovel to the head. By the time he woke up, he was escorted out of the school and into the hospital. Once he asked if the children were okay, his heart was shattered once it was revealed that the intruder had managed to find the children and proceeded to slaughter them one by one by gunfire.

Devastated by the news, Senki fell into a long depression and immediately quit his job, and moved out of Paradise for 6 years before returning as a photographer.

Before Paradise Arizona had gone down to shit, it was a frail run town. People had to travel from place to place through underground tunnels, the train tracks never operated, there was trash everywhere, violent protests erupted throughout the medium sized town and sheriffs(policemen at the time) were abusing their power. This is because when news broke out that a disease called Octo Syndrome was spreading throughout Arizona via fog. The fog could corrupt anyone who looked through it. However, the citizens in Paradise claimed this to be fake, causing nearly the entire population to turn into crazed, violent people. Despite this, Senki(who had only got there one Saturday) was actually a really kind, calm, and level headed person. He was a photographer who liked to take pictures of run down towns and buildings. He enjoyed doing this because he always found them soothing and fascinating. Although he was the only decent person in Arizona, a large number of citizens still treated him horribly, insulting him, threatening him, and even getting him arrested on multiple occasions for things he didn’t do. But this isn’t why he had become a possible serial killer.

There was a small group of people who respected him and his work of photography. It was a group of game developers who resided in an abandoned church. They often smoked, drank, and partied in said church. Senki, who wasn’t interested in any of those things, often went out and did errands or took more pictures. Although the fog had died down during the time and people were fairly stable, it was suddenly starting to grow progressively worse.

If anyone were to look into the fog, they would suddenly become immobilized as various hallucinations cloud their mind, corrupting them into violent monsters that others refuse to call human. Once news of this was spread back to Paradise, the people reluctantly decided to finally do something about it. Citizens were locked into their homes, all doors and windows were barricaded, and no one was allowed to come out for any reason. As time passed, people who were unfortunate enough to see the fog started to worship it, going as far to even make a small cult for it. Several people who refused to look through the fog were murdered in gruesome ways as they were offered out as a sacrifice to “Etin, the God of the Fog.”

Two members of the game developing group were one of the many people who worshiped the fog, sacrificing several of their coworkers until only them and Senki, who had kept himself isolated, remained. In an act of desperation, both corrupted coworkers proceeded to drag Senki out of the church and into the fog, abandoning him and leaving him there to die. But despite their needs, Senki had managed to power through his immobilized state, quickly hiding himself in a small drugstore with another survivor. But once the other survivor saw that one of his eyes had become brown, they immediately tackled him, trying to kill him via strangulation. Senki managed to fight back by slashing them in the hip with a bali that was beside him.

As he laid on the ground trying to get as much air as possible, the Octo Syndrome had managed to take over nearly all of his brain, turning him into what he tried to avoid. Once he had fully managed to properly breathe, he grabbed a baseball bat and started to bash his attempted killer’s head in until only pieces of their skull, blood, and brain matter remained. Once that was done, Senki left the drugstore and went straight to the church, wasting no time in mercilessly slaughtering the two of them. It wasn’t until he looked in a nearby mirror that he somehow managed to snap out of his psychotic trance. In a fit of confusion and fear, he quickly hid the bodies in the nearby funeral home before rummaging through a dead coworker’s bag and finding a pair of blue contacts.

Once he put the contacts on, he barricaded all entrances of the church to prevent anyone from coming in. As the weeks passed, he had gained Dissociative Identity Disorder and a mild case of Schizophrenia. A few months later, the fog had finally passed over, people being allowed to leave their homes and live their normal lives, Senki included. Everything was fairly normal for a few days until he was randomly accused by a sheriff that he had committed arson to the town’s local library. While Senki tried to defend himself, the sheriff immediately assumed that he was going to assault him, and proceeded to knock Senki unconscious with a large stick of lumber.

When the sheriff turned his back away from him to possibly call for backup, Senki had suddenly regained consciousness and grabbed the sheriff’s shotgun, shooting them and killing them in front of everyone. As everyone went into a panic once they not only saw the sheriff’s body, but Senki’s brown eye, Senki wasted no time in killing a good chunk of people in midst of the chaos. After that, nearly the entire population in Paradise feared him, and stayed out of his way thus they were severely punished. Anyone who was unfortunate enough to provoke him were either met with torture or instant death.
