The ticking time bomb

Name: Elias Thorne Age: 24 Race/Species: Human (Dormant Hybrid)

Background: Elias grew up in Oakhaven, a village that produces more wool than it does ambition. He spent his youth hauling feed bags and repairing fence posts, known mostly for being the man who will help a neighbor fix a roof without asking for a coin. He is the kind of man who is forgotten the moment he leaves a room, which suits him perfectly. He lives in a small cottage inherited from his father, spending his evenings carving small wooden toys for the village children.

Beneath this quiet existence, Elias lives with a constant, shimmering presence. He calls him "the smudge." Since puberty, a translucent, violet-hued duplicate of himself has existed in his periphery, always standing just behind his left shoulder. This entity does not scream or roar; instead, it whispers in a low, rhythmic cadence, pointing out the petty cruelties of the villagers or the fragility of the things Elias loves. It doesn't tell him to burn the world; it simply suggests that he is too good for people who are so mediocre.

Physical Appearance: Elias is built with the sturdy, unrefined muscle of a laborer. He has a wide set of shoulders and calloused hands with permanent dirt beneath the nails. His face is unremarkable—a square jaw, a straight nose, and eyes the color of wet slate. He typically wears a linen shirt worn thin at the elbows and heavy canvas trousers stained with sap and soil.

The only thing out of place is his gaze. While his expression is soft, his pupils occasionally flicker with a faint, amethyst spark when he is stressed or angry. When the dormant genes in his blood begin to stir, this purple hue bleeds into his sclera, turning his eyes into glowing conduits of something ancient and hungry.

Personality: Elias is defined by a patient, almost stubborn kindness. He is a man of few words, preferring to listen to the wind or the sound of his carving knife against cedar. He possesses a genuine empathy that makes him the village's unofficial confidant, though he often feels a profound sense of isolation, as if he is watching the world through a pane of glass.

He struggles with a quiet, simmering frustration that he cannot name. He is terrified of his own anger, fearing that if he lets the smallest seed of resentment grow, the violet shadow beside him will finally find a way inside. This makes him overly cautious; he avoids conflict not because he is afraid of the other person, but because he is afraid of what might happen if he stops holding himself back

The countdown:

When his genes activate a sequence will start music will play a 10 second timer starts and a scythe will materialize the demon gods scythe said to give the wielder unlimited power. And his purple evil self will become visible and able to be heard by everyone

Powers: Omnipotence Omnipresence He has every power known to man. CORRUPTION: he is able to corrupt people and turn them into demons that he controls just by touching them
