Eternally Smoldering | The Endless Forest

+ The name is Tlen [smolder, decay, etc].

+ Tlen always feels heat and pain inside of him, but does not know why and what to do with it and who he is.

+ He is calm, melancholic and suffering.

+ Shows no aggression or any other strong emotion.

+ Hot to touch, like a furnace. Leaves spots of burnt grass after napping. He never actually sleeps because of heat.

+ A cursed creature, once being a human.

+ Has a body of a young deer and a humanoid head.

+ Doomed to live eternally smoldering inside, not being able to die.

+ Inside organs are nonexistent, his short, velvety fur is coal-black; heart is replaced by smoldering piece of metal.

+ The face is deadly white, antlers remind of a dead tree branches, which change form. The antlers also smolder from time to time, flaring embers.

+ The embers are always visible through the fur.

+ Never speaks, but seldom his silent howl of pain can be heard.
