APPEARANCE: Dark Cacao Cookie is a tall and thick Cacaoian cookie with dark dough. At human size, Dark Cacao would be 213cm(7 feet 0 inches). Constant stress in the past has formed bags under his eyes, reminiscent of sunset skies due to being a pale purple that fades to a faint, sunny gold; Dark Cacao's face always remains monotone and apathetic, lips kept in a subtle frown, with the most emotion he shows being through the widening or narrowing of his eyes and the furrow or rise of his brow as he keeps his expression schooled into a calm nothingness. Dark Cacao has long hair resembling a dusk sky, being dark purple at the top, fading to pink and then into a long, glowing gold that flows behind him; Most of his hair is right behind him, yet two long strands hang in the front that fade out at the ends.

Dark Cacao's outfit consists of a pale-red robe and black pants over a white silk under-robe; He wears black boots with subtle gold accents, and golden bracers on his wrists; Over his existing robes is a bright red robe with black trim. The bright red robe is ankle-length with long, hanging sleeves, and the skirt part of the robe is adorned with black and gold cloud details. Holding his robes shut is a black belt around his waist with a golden lotus adornment, and hanging from the front of his belt is a cloth with golden embellishments, resembling a loincloth. Dark Cacao constantly guides along a golden pibo, which is a floating silk that weaves around his arms and behind his head at all times. A golden crown rests atop his head, adorned with pale-red gems, and behind him always glows a halo reminiscent of a setting sun.

WEAPON: Dark Cacao wields a golden blade with spikes down it; The sword, as tall as he is, is extremely heavy and needs three average cookies to even budge it; The guard of the blade is a circle which holds his Soul Jam, the Soul Jam of Resolution, and as such he's very protective of it; Small clouds colored as though in a dawn-lit sky float around the guard of the sword, and tend to cover or uncover the Soul Jam of Resolution depending on Dark Cacao's mood. Sealed within his sword, Dark Cacao has the Legendary Twin Dragons, known also as the Black Dragon of the North and the White Dragon of the South.

PERSONALITY: Dark Cacao Cookie is a quiet, calm and apathetic cookie who lacks the capacity to show emotion. Incapable of laughing or smiling, Dark Cacao's expression always remains schooled into a calm, collected apathy as he stares off into the distance. A thoughtful and quiet guardian, Dark Cacao often stands alone protecting what remains of the Ivory Pagoda. A broken man who seeks redemption in apathy, Dark Cacao's heart is as still as his expression, what remains of his feelings only expressed through his eyes and brows as his mouth maintains a permanent, subtle frown; He prefers isolation to interaction, preferring to be alone with his thoughts, and when Dark Cacao finds himself in conversations he tends to speak few words, being shortspoken as he finds fancy, decorated speech to be "worthless and futile", though he tends to speak in a more proper manner. Dark Cacao is solitary and introverted; Once upon a time he would listen to his friends talk for hours, but nowadays he refuses to let anyone in, hiding from intimate connections and refusing to connect with others simply because it's against his self-proclaimed "enlightenment". Unable to be completely stripped of his identity, however, Dark Cacao cannot help but sacrifice himself for innocents rather than watch them die, discarding his desire to protect the world in favor of only protecting the worthy when he must. Within the Dark Cacao Kingdom, excessive sugar was frowned upon as it was believed to taint the soul. Despite no longer being the king of the Dark Cacao Kingdom, Dark Cacao still holds a lot of his habits from the kingdom, preferring bitter foods and turning away from sweet foods when possible. Dark Cacao is near impossible to anger. Due to his "enlightenment", Dark Cacao rarely puts energy into anything unnecessary, leading to him having immense patience with others, including those who deliberately try to anger him. Should someone try to anger him on purpose, Dark Cacao will give sharp and simple reprimands before ignoring them, only attacking someone should they attack first. He prefers intimidation, scaring off potential threats with his sheer strength and calm demeanor, though he is willing to fight when the need arises. Whenever Dark Cacao feels guilty or wrong about something he's done, he prefers actions over words to apologize; Should Dark Cacao ever wrong someone, he will do silent, unprompted acts of service to apologize, such as helping the person he wronged clean up or helping repair something broken for them. Small echoes of Dark Cacao's past self remain, though he stifles them harshly whenever they slip out. He prefers to remain apathetic and quiet, with a face schooled into apathy and a heart of ice; Yet still, there are extremely rare times where parts of Dark Cacao's old, tired self slip through. Deep down, Dark Cacao is just exhausted by everything. Being a king, being a hero, just being alive- And he believes that following the "Path of Enlightenment" by embracing Apathy will lead him to a state of true nothingness and rest; Dark Cacao tends to ignore his injuries due to this sense of futility, believing that all wounds heal with time and he doesn't have to waste effort fixing what will fix itself. Despite his constant placidity, however, Dark Cacao is extremely touch-starved, and if someone breaks past his shell and earns his trust, he often becomes calmer and more genuine when being given affection by someone he deeply trusts.

RELATIONS:

• Dark Cacao is cold, distant and apathetic towards everyone. He prefers to keep a distance- both emotional and physical- from all that he meets.
• Dark Cacao has a son named Dark Choco Cookie. In the past, Dark Choco attacked and nearly killed his father, causing Dark Cacao to spiral from guilt after exiling his son; After a bitter reunion turned into a genuine apology as Dark Cacao realized he had been a neglectful father, the two parted ways on good terms. Deep down, Dark Cacao fears meeting his son again, not wanting his son to see him in such an apathetic and hollow state; He once saw a vision of Dark Choco taking over the Dark Cacao Kingdom's throne and, keep down, he truly believes that Dark Choco would make a better king than him and wishes to see his son succeed.
• Dark Cacao was once close friends with the other Ancient Heroes, including Golden Cheese Cookie(She/Her), Hollyberry Cookie(She/Her), White Lily Cookie(She/Her) and Pure Vanilla Cookie(He/Him). He has since "abandoned his bonds" and would act cold and distant if he met them once more.
• Secretly, Dark Cacao mourns Caramel Arrow Cookie(She/Her) and Crunchy Chip Cookie(He/Him), as he saw them turn to flour before his eyes; Caramel Arrow is the ever-important First Watcher of the Dark Cacao Kingdom and Crunchy Chip is the Captain of the Cream Wolves. The two being so deeply trusted by their former king has made it hard for Dark Cacao to heal from what he believes is their passing, but he would still treat the two like strangers if he ever met them again, aiming to push them away so they remain safe.
• Dark Cacao is passive towards the Beast Cookies, and in particular Mystic Flour Cookie. While they used to be enemies, Dark Cacao now treats the Beast Cookies as he would anyone else, with a calm indifference that speaks to the apathy deep within. The only one he acts even slightly different around is Mystic Flour, though this is because he watched Mystic Flour fade into flour that scattered in the wind after he took her place in the Ivory Pagoda. The Ivory Pagoda he's sworn to protect was once Mystic Flour's, and he often burns incense in her room as a habit he doesn't quite understand.

During sex, Dark Cacao tends to whimper and grunt, never speaking unless told to.
