Came into existence a good while ago, more than 200 years ago to be exact somewhere between an area in human realm where you would find Europe and what could you call perhaps the other side, their dimension, their void.
Woke up to faces of his peers, another existences belonging to his unknown race, all capable and upon receieving his name for that time, Daray, he managed to learn names of a couple where they both found a way into their immaterial hearts throught friendship and ally bond.
Upon being born, was given a chip to block out one of many rivers of energy that was supposed to go througt his body to have his capabilities limited, so he never grew antlers anyhow larger than nubs, as did all males. Females grew none and they had somewhat smaller teeth, which were a distinctive trait of his race, too. The chip deep in their flesh made of ectoplasm was a device to control, yet more about that remains unknown.
They were not good, while burning energy heavily they had no way to keep it within without it going on it's own away after time not satisifying for a lifespan to leave them to die, and so the numbers of any other immaterial beings were never high around Daray's kind. Their disturbing rows teeth stuffed into their mouths where everything looked like canines were there for a reason, the energy had to be replenished all of the time - from other entities alike them. Nocturnal number reducing was the thing they enjoyed the most.
Being the way he was, he was granted the inability to sense the time itself. As the time passed, there were less and less of his kind, him becoming solitary and living on his own. The world came way too different.

With the second century in full swing an happening took place to change the intangible existence's ways without his wishing.
He came summoned by knowledgeless humans throught something definitely powerful they wanted to try out while they were knowing that it was nothing. He was taken by what seemed to be an unknown force and stuffed into a dead body of a stag, bringing it back to life as he was what he never used to be and what he never understood to, matter, a thing as if forbidden yet so common. Yet the human realm wasn't made up for it, and a little while after he got into the body he broke into the Forest, a different realm.

• He is an intangible entity that has been stuffed into a dead body of a stag.
• Used to be forced to stay in it, after a while inhabiting the forest he had an accident and is no longer tied to it, can come into it at will. Keeps it in a stray dimension.
• He looks not after time, but after happenings. And so he can't say how long is a week and a year if happened nothing.
• Has to devour raw energy of other beings. Cannot go after intangible beings when in his shell and needs to take it from meat, which is not really as effective.
• The color of his energy is neon red.
• The shell is quite lighter with him in it than it otherwise would be.
• Does not feel touch, temperature, anything in his shell.
• Is in no way addicted to it.
• It lets him effectively cause physical damage to physical beings if on.
• As long as his head stays hidden in the skull of the stag, he cannot devour raw energy.
• That being said, smashing the head off in a fight could be fatal.
• With his shell on he can produce tangible fluid that is capable of dissolving flesh as a result of [semi failed] attempt to devour energy throught his matter shell.
• The body decays no longer due to being 'supported' by him, it doesn't decay even if he keeps it away at the dimension.
• Capable of travelling throught portals between the worlds.
• Considers the Forest his current home.
• If he doesn't have his shell on, he can't gash at physical beings, but he can still take away their life energy as if they were his prey.

Were The Dark to roam without his shell on anytime, his intangible form would come out to be seen. Looking somewhat less aged than it is really is, it exists built like that of a roe deer with a couple of divergencies. It's tail is rather long, a little bit longer than this. It has no metatarsal glands. It's belly is a little bit more flat, it's eyes are somewat more forward-facing. It's mouth is somewhat elongated and has noticeabler lips lining it. It is filled with demonic-looking teeth. Disturbing to look at, pointed beyond naturalness, they do not let him close his mouth completely with the length of them. The tongue is rather thin and pointy. Togehter with his race, he once used to wear tiny undeveloped horn-like nub antlers, but now that he got rid of the chip, his antlers bloomed. They are not different from those of a roe deer, except they have just as disturbingly sharp extra tines and there are strange spines growing out of their back side, looking much like those found at the antlers of a pere david's deer. The two antlers of his are not exactly the same, and thus his crown could have been considered irregular.

Color wise his form is painted all the perfect eye-burning red, wich exception of his hooves, dewclaws and antlers, as well as his lips, gums, nose and muzzle, which holds markings almost identical to those that are seen in the same area in roe deer, being the single part of his pelt that holds some markings. The color of all these areas is slightly darkened version of his main color, perhaps with traces of crimson as well as stealthy traces of metallic feel in it. His eyes seem to be blank -- the same color on all of the surface, no iris nor pupil. They shine of bright, burning, cold neon, piercing electric red glow. Chances are his teeth are of just a little bit lighter shade than his pelt.

Existing as a incorporal being of glowing energy, his form is luminously semi-transparent. The transparency may wary from slightly below moderate to almost an corporeal look. The more corporeal he looks, the more energy he has left. When his form fades enough, he becomes less healthy and more dangerous, for the need of fixing his state.
His weight is most definitely an negative number, yet the ground perfectly holds him as if he were rather heavy. The reason behind that is his form's kind of an affinity for the space, which pulls him to whatever ground he may walk on.
His hooves and antlers are perfect at gashing, cutting and messing with other incorporeal beings of energy and ectoplasm. They mean no damage to beings hidden under physical embodiments, hovewer, for they cannot pass it. His teeth can harm incorporeal ones fairly severely and are what allows him to suck and eat their energy for his needs. They are the only part of him that can harm even those with shells [in the same way], but in turn he can use them to harm only when his shell is not on, or when for whatever reason the shell ends up losing it's head.
The aura he emenates can mess up electronics to insane acting and it is even better at throwing the temperature in a radius straight down by a fair number.


His physical shell visible, hovewer, appears and also kind of lets him appear rather old, but that may be just the fact that it literally is worn out and aged. The coat painted green-ish is decorated with many large spaces that reveal darker bones that seem dark mainly thanks to the ever present pale hooves and teeth for a comparison. The shell is well shaped even though the giant holes in the coat are present.
The exposed joints on the bones are slightly tinted to red on the surface, which is dark, but at the same time they emit soft red glow which again speaks about what is hidden inside.
The antlers are not much larger than the ones of his true self. They are small and of a weird, unusual shape and nature thanks to the fact the previous owner must have died with velvet on. The tongue is present. Yet despite that he keeps his nature of an entity that walks with sinister tapping and light, predatory movements, often unpredictable. With his shell he has an actual weight, but the own gravity that pulls him to the surfaces he walks on still works. Even throught the physical shell he continues to radiate out the cold feel and the effects it brings, yet a little bit less than were he to be naked. With the shell he can cause any physical damage that could have been done with it. He can also produce a liquid that is capable of dissolving flesh in a fashion it looks as if the flesh were rotting. He feeds on energy with his shell on so, yet it is ineffective and with it cannot suck one dry of energy. With exception of being capable of messing the living flesh up hard, it is somewhat safe.

masculine | dominantEnjoys the feeling of being higher than others, better than them. Self-loving in that. Will not tolerate being dominated over. Will work hard retailating when in play, will dominate in turn when in regular situation, will be a destruction when in a fight. Seems to not to feel very comfortable with the another standing on a higher land spot than him. Has such strange views. Seems to not to feel like showing them off all of the time; yet they do leak past the walls sometimes. You won't touch him without getting away with nothing at all. | strong-willedHe has to win. He will win. Willing to fight untill dying to prove that. Will never plead for mercy, even though it could have been a better choice maybe. | protectiveWith him the company will be most definitely more safe than alone. Protecting others is in his nature and he is willing to travel deadly distances to protect the skin of the dearest ones. | fighterHas to have a reason to fight yet when he does, he is not to be underestimated.

Not fond of larger crowds. May be more tolerant some days and less tolerant other days. | predatory
| aggresiveWill not attack for no reason, but will by no means let anyone shit on his head. Period. | antique-mindedPretty much an antique point of view. Acts like those living when he was born. Also happens to be survival oriented. | unafraidIs either a stranger to fear, or wickedly good at hiding it. The first option is most definitely the right one. Considers being scared letting himself down, and is drawn to fear of others. Loves the fear of an enemy. | possessiveA trait not really significant but he's not a complete stranger to it either. | calm | patientTo the point of making you shit bricks, being not granted the ability to know how long chunks of time are.

Being a baddy is not all he knows, really. | feralHas human intelligence, yet seems to lean towards it. Loves to accompany a dialoque with body language, skilled at it, may use only it on a occassion. Expressive, intense. Holds feral ways. May find pleasure in being physical. | calculatedHas others counted up. Fawns, small ones and company will get away with a little more. Gentle to females he's interested in. Yet will treat someone who may actually be a match for him with rather short temper. | teasing | teacher
