Supernatural Group designation S17 has now been renamed to Group T.
Group Designation: T
Group Alias: The Twisted Ones
Group Leader: Unknown. Suspected to be Subject T0, but still unknown.
Group Information: This group is mysterious and strange, to say the least, even for a supernatural group, so keep an eye out. They have powers that, even as a supernatural association, we are unable to explain, or combat, most of the time.
How best to handle: In my professional opinion? Run.
This secretive and mysterious collection of supernatural beings which offer no explanation as to why or how they are here have given us no end of trouble, albeit in small, secretive ways that are hard to identify.

Spoiler: Individual Members

Subject #T1 (The Grinning Demon) [

Spoiler: Appearance

Subject #T1's powers have been hard to pin down, but seem to be less powerful versions of Subject #T0's. These powers include Biokinesis (Which includes control of the ink substance), Teleportation, Telekinesis, and Interfearance. Since subject #T1 has no mouth, he talks through audio devices, including cell phones, radios, and speakers. His form is wraithlike and shivers constantly, fazing in and out of existance slightly. We have never been able to test the possibility of intangibility since, as of yet, no one has been able to hit him. {Note: Subject #S14 has shown reluctance to talk about subject #T1. Maybe a former friend or family member?}]

Subject #T2 (Stitch) [

Spoiler: Appearance

Subject #T2 is very accomplished at stealth, sneaking in and out of places without a trace. A gangly pale humanoid creature whose mouth has been sewn shut. He has strings attached to each of his knuckles, three each to his shoulder blades, and two each to his calves. He can control them telekinetically, and the strings are virtually indestructible, having been formed from his bone. He is capable of controlling any type of cloth or string, loving to suffocate people in their own clothing. He can control people's minds by inserting one of his strings into the back of their heads - usually they die when he releases control, but not always. He can render himself completely invisible to all technology, making it near impossible to detect him with anything but the naked eye. {Note: We have found a lot of good men strangled and hung from rafters due to subject #T2. A plan for countering him when necessary is needed.}]

Subject # ( ) [

Spoiler: Appearance

Su je # canno ab l s Memory erasure Major Interfearance and Fear Factor Regeneration usually sent to infiltrate low-level facilities and cause fear.
{Note: His name and traits cannot be remembered. All attempts to give him a name have failed.}]

Subject #T4 (The Lost Ones)[

Spoiler: Appearance

These inky black humanoids that resemble zombies in their abilities, both mental and physical, roam in the House and will attempt to kill anyone on sight. Some areas in the House are swarmed with these beings, which are people subject #T0 has corrupted, but not deemed worthy of independent powers. Continued mumbled phrases such as 'I want to go home' and 'I don't want to be here anymore' seem to point to the fact that their minds remain conscious of everything their bodies are doing without their consent.
They will not die to anything less than complete disintegration, as their biology is changed completely to allow them to live past the point of death. Once they disintegrate, any ink that is left over loses it's cohesion.
We know these things because one by itself is relatively easy to capture, it's if you get swarmed that's the problem. {Note: Basically, the longer you fight them, the more fubbernucked you is.}

Spoiler: The House of Odd

We don't know much about the mysterious House of Odd. We have never been inside and Subject #S14 has shut down when asked about it. All we have gathered is that it contains unknown horrors that are constrained in the House because of their uncontrollable nature.
He have gathered from Urban Legend that if you manage, somehow, to make it to the top, where TMITM's study is, great power awaits you.

Spoiler: the Ink

We have conducted a long, arduous, and largely unfruitful study of the mysterious substance that is the source for his supernatural and, as of yet, inexplicable power set. It seems that the substance emits an interference that makes all things go on the fritz - a sort of bad luck radius. Depending on the mood of the subject, It's power can range from barely noticeable to completely crippling in some cases.
The substance can range from extremely flexible to iron-hard qualities and can range between the two at incredible speeds. It is made out of cells, making it organic, but it cannot be confirmed if it has a mind of its own or possesses the qualities of a living being. It can be likened to a symbiote or parasite, living off of the subject if it is alive, and living off of something indeterminable if the subject is dead.

These are just the things we know about. This file may need to be updated as inaccuracies or new information arise.

Document E9TI2
This document refers to the ongoing research into the mysterious Entities, powerful and unique beings that each, as far as we can tell, have certain amounts of authority over the world that we live in. These Entities have widely differing amounts of authority or power, ranging from bad dreams to potentially apocalyptic events.
Because of this, we have made a rating system for the potential danger of these Entities, based on power and malicious intent.

Spoiler: The Requirem Scale

Alpha: Beings that represent little to no threat to the population. Their power levels are usually low and they can or will only act on a set of very specific circumstances.
Beta: Beings who have some power but cannot or will not use it unless a very specific set of circumstances arise. This includes the entities trapped in the Eye of Cairo, the Shadow Creatures in the Forbidden Land, Slender Man, and many of the beings currently housed by the SCP Foundation.
Gamma: Beings that are powerful enough to pose a serious threat but have reasonable limitations on their power or are not malevolent. These include the Angel, the Caretaker, and others.
OMEGA: These beings present a serious and ongoing threat to the human race. They should be avoided at all costs pending approval and have the power to induce apocalyptic events. Only a few beings have warranted such classification, such as Subject #T0

The Trinomial system for the naming of Entities is relatively simple. After listing the official number, you first specify the personality with either Malevolent, Benevolent, or Neutral. You then specify the threat level.
ex: #T0 - Malevolent Omega

An official list of Entities is as follows:

Spoiler: List of Entities

Alpha:


Beta:

Spoiler: #E1 - Neutral Beta

Pictured below is the physical manifestation of the Eye of Cairo, a mystical artifact uncovered by a cult group originating from Northeastern America. The Eye appears to be a somewhat normal necklace but upon further examination appears to have markings and etchings on it, describing how to use it to its fullest potential. Opposition agents have not found the full translation of it as it appears in multiple unknown and known languages.

The exciting part of the necklace is the events that occur when a person puts it on. That means, wearing it over your neck, not anywhere else. The Eye has 20-40 hidden creatine spikes inside its casings. These range from 10mm to 1 cm thick and impale the user's chest region. Removal of the item results in immediate heart failure, likely due to an undiscovered poison in the user's system or the keratin spikes. Wearing the Eye for prolonged periods lets the user communicate with guiding "spirits" or entities as we refer to them. These entities give valuable information, as well as point out strategic choices. Although they are not to be trusted as they have caused several agents to perform actions that have resulted in their deaths. Examples of these incidents go as follows:

Holding a hand grenade longer than intended to show off your grenade skills to your crush

Approaching the Five without clearing from The Opposition higher-ups.

Going into the sewers to look for crocodiles and promptly being eaten by one.

This item is not to be used under any circumstance.

Gamma:

Spoiler: S1 - Malevolent Gamma

Dormin, (Japanese: ドルミン Dorumin) is a mysterious and powerful Entity residing in the Forbidden Lands, often communicating through a sunlit aperture in a temple where he claims he can resurrect the dead - for a terrible price. This Entity, along with the Forbidden Lands, is to be avoided by all means necessary.

Omega:

Spoiler: #T0 - Malevolent Omega

Name/ Title / Alias [
TMITM - stands for The Man In The Mirror. To our knowledge, he has many titles besides, such as the Shadow, The King of Ink, Mist and Shadow, and the Lord of the Lonely Places. ]

Biography[
As far as we know, he came into being in 1956, when the first sightings of this mysterious entity were reported to the authorities of that time. This is reflected by his attire, a hat and trench coat. {Note: His entire body is made up of the ink substance, leading us to believe these are actually part of his body.} He has spent all of his time, since his first sightings, trying to get power through subtle and paranormal means.
]



Affiliation[
Independent - he controls a group of dark, twisted then individuals collectively known as 'The Twisted Ones' - a blight slowly creeping across everything we know.
He hates anyone who gets in his way, but is not opposed to making deals.

Spoiler: Powers
Equipment & Non-powered abilities:[
He has only a cane, a stick of black iron with a ball of silver on top.

-
Relations:
He cares for no one and no thing, except power.



[/QUOTE]

Spoiler: #E0 - Neutral Omega

The following is a snippet of file #M00NS - The file on an operative named Moonstar.
The Entity has supernatural strength, comparable to that of a military-grade tank, easily rupturing human bodies as well as metal doors and walls. A weakness of this entity is that it likes to play with its "food" before killing them. It will also cancel its attacks if it feels as if it's "owner" (Moonstar) is being damaged. We can also assume The Entity is independent rather than a part of Moonstar himself.

BLINDFOLD
xli vezir mw livi
​

Appearance:

Name: H̸̢̛͈̓̓_̶̹̠̃̌͜n̷̳͍̍̅̈́̅-̵̜̬͇̔̅̓ẏ̶̛̤̱͓̑̈́ ̷̧̹̣͚̽͛V̸͈̈ȉ̴̢̝̻̞̈́_̶̺̜̙̒̊͝_̶̛̦̠͙̝̇o̵̙͐͗̍͘r̸̫̩͖̳͐̕-̷̼̮̇͋͝a̷͓͝

Alias: Blindfold

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Clan: Black Rose

Rank: Second - in - command

Weapons: None.

Passive Abilities:
Second Sight: Blindfold sees the world, not as visual input, but as fact. Instead of seeing a blue book, for example, he would see that it was a book, it was blue, and, to a certain extent, if he concentrates, what the book is about, how it plays into what he's doing, the story use of the book, (e.g., the Man will openly state that it is a MacGuffin) and even - what will and/or has happened to the book.
Obviously, this means Blindfold has 360 degree 'vision', so it is incredibly hard to put anything past him.
This ability also can help Blindfold make very accurate and uncanny predictions, if he has information enough to understand his opponent.
He's also a lie detector.
Interference (locked): Fully controllable by TMITM, this is basically a 'bad luck radius', interfering with any type of thing, machinery, magic, and (especially) technology. It usually remains on a very low frequency - but it's still dangerous, to him and others, to, say, fire a gun. This power may also, when the Man is in charge, or if Blindfold ever learns how to use it, interfere with other's abilities concerning him, sometimes even completely nullifying them.
Protection: Because of TMITM, Blindfold has about ten times the resistance of a normal demon to psychic/mental attack. He can also, with the Man's help, be a very formidable opponent in a psychic battle, if a link is established.


Active Abilities:
The Ink: The Ink is a slick, void-black substance that can reproduce at incredible speeds, and shift it's density, from completely liquid to iron-hard, at incredible speeds. The Ink is also latched onto Blindfold's genetic signature, which means it can heal him, albeit slower than it reproduces normally.
Telekinesis (locked): Weak to Middling strength telekinesis, moving things with his mind.
Retribution: The Man can, if Blindfold agrees, take over his body, taking over the wheel. When the Man does this, Blindfold's powers all get a significant boost about three times the power, and the ones marked as 'locked' all become active, and the Man has full control of Blindfold's power.
However, the Man tends to go a bit overboard. Many times, Blindfold will regain control and pass out immediately because the Man pushed his body about a mile and a half too far, or spend a week recovering, the Ink healing bullet holes and stab wounds.

Likes:
-Sparring
-Has a yet unexplained affinity for the rain
-Mystery

Dislikes:
- Anything that could threaten his self-control and/or independence
-Lies/deceit
-bias
-Opponents that talk too much

Personality:
Blindfold's Personality:
Blindfold tends to be very quiet.
Blindfold is usually a very standoffish person until you get to know him. Because of his past, which he very rarely talks about, he tends to be a very guarded, but surprisingly kind, person. If you manage to win his loyalty, as few have managed, Blindfold can be a constant and caring companion, compassionate and intentional, although a tad bit annoying because Blindfold will challenge your ideas, your thoughts, and encourage you to keep an open mind. He has a bit of a temper.
Blindfold doesn't mind playing the devil's advocate, and mostly is of the opinion that if what you are doing is not the most effective way, it is a waste of time. He is a very logical and analytical person who tends to look at just the facts, and strives to keep and open mind. He tends to see people who get caught up in their emotions as weak, and in combat, will repeatedly exploit said weakness.
The Man's Personality: Within Blindfold's mind exists a connection to an altogether different entity - the Man in the Mirror. the Man's connection with Blindfold has always been there, but in the past few years, the connection has strengthened a hundredfold, causing a massive reality shift for him. The Man will talk to Blindfold regularly, giving him advice, his own sardonic idea of encouragement, and, occasionally, an offering of power.
The Man in the Mirror considers himself a 'real demon', as he is able to use, and, indeed, is brave enough to use, the dark magic that the demon royalty was known for, back in the day. This magic is powerful and monstrous, and he does not care about many the life of the ones beneath him.

Bio:

Spoiler: Blindfold

Blindfold had been a normal demon all of his life, part of a powerful and influential family, but somewhat shunned because of his lack of magical prowess. but, always inside his head, had existed the Man in the Mirror, a very notorious entity that would talk to him, give him dreams, and, often, torment, no example as obvious as Blindfold, curled up in a ball, reminding himself to breathe as a giant monster raged outside, but not as terrible as the Man's insane laughter, the exhilaration that he felt.
Afterwards, there was a sudden strengthening in Blindfold and TMITM's connection. Blindfold woke up the next morning and couldn't see. The Ink had housed itself in his eyes, and he quickly used a blindfold to cover it up. TMITM gave him a new name, one that would strike fear into their enemies - Blindfold, the Man saying "In the dark, only Blind Eyes see."
Eventually, Blindfold had climbed his way up the social ladder, and it was relatively public knowledge that Blindfold was under the protection of the Man in the Mirror, who used to be hell's most notorious enforcer. Those who remembered and those who knew all stayed relatively out of his way.

Spoiler: TMITM

The Man in the Mirror was a notorious demon that used to be a very exclusive kind of torturer in Hell's Wrath ring. His nightclub (located in the ring of Wrath,) was the one of the most exclusive spots in hell, apart from Satan's Casino in the treachery ring. The Man was treated like an eighth prince. Apart from delegating TMITM's side projects, Satan and the seven princes gave him his space most of the time, so he was able to house runaway demons, earning him the respect of many a member of the community, and some even remember to this day. However, The Man, once they were out, politely declined to join them in their respective settlements, and went on his own way...

Extras:

 

[TMITM]

Do you know of the space between dreaming and wakefulness? Blindfold was in that place.
And he heard a piano.
The piano was slightly out of tune, and it was playing a dark, sad, swinging melody, with the bass following below.
Blindfold continued to hear this melody, as he drifted into dreams...

Into the dark.

The Man was playing piano.
Blindfold watched him, from behind, in a large, old-fashioned, club - something like a Speakeasy. Around the 1920s.
The Man began to hum.
Blindfold just watched and listened for a while, thinking about how this was really the only way he had ever seen the Man really express himself. It was obvious that the Man was lost in the music, the melody, moving his body a little bit to the beat, tapping his left foot, and when he played a triad, muscles tensing, then relaxing. The Man knew Blindfold was there, no doubt, but Blindfold was content to sit and listen for a while.
The Man stopped humming for a second, and said, "Lasciate ogni speranza voi que entrate."
Blindfold blinked once. "...what?"
The Man chuckled. "Welcome to Hell, H̶̺͉̻͍̩̭̼͋̽̓́̇̈̕̕ ̴̢͚͉̭́̄̑̚͘͠ͅ ̸̘̳͐̎͐͑̏̿͒̂̀̐̚ ̷̧̬̝̲̬͖͂͛̀̒̋͜ņ̸̨͔̘͖͓̟͖̠̘̖̐̆ ̷̳͕͉͇̖̩̩̞̃͑͗̈́͜ ̵̢̺̤̤̹̭̣̥̆ͅ ̸̧͙͉̱̝̲͔͒̇͠ỳ̶̈́̂͝."
Blindfold shifted as the Man called him by his real name. "I'm in... Hell?"
The Man paused. "Well, not exactly. This is just a recreation of it. But, for all intents and purposes, it is."
Blindfold paused. "What is this place?"
The Man smiled, and said, "This is my club. It was very exclusive. You should be honored. We haven't had a mortal soul here in ages. The last one was, I think, Jack?"
Blindfold Shook his head, frowning. "I don't feel honored."
The Man in the Mirror shrugged. "Your choice. I noticed you found something today, Blindfold."
Blindfold shrugged. he had thought it was just a feeling, but if the Man brought it up, it was definitely important. "I... did?"
The Man nodded. "What did you see?'
"I..." Blindfold thought for a second. "Something's... off. This whole thing just seems... wrong."
The Man cocked his head. "That's very perceptive of you." Blindfold reeled at the compliment. He really was onto something. "And what was that, exactly?"
Blindfold frowned. "I... don't know."
The Man mirrored his frown, sighing, obviously disappointed. "Well, you'll get there."
Blindfold was curious anyway. He couldn't just let this go, not when it's so important. "What's so important?" He asked. "Do you know?"
The Man nodded. "Yes."
"Then tell me, if it's so important."
The Man shook his head. "Be patient. All will be revealed in time. I can't just tell you, although..." The man reconsidered. "I might be able to give you clues."
Blindfold was confused. "What clu-"
"Well, look at the time!" The Man exclaimed, smiling, and getting up from his seat. "Our time is running short, and both you and I have responsibilities. It's time for me to go."
Blindfold didn't argue. It would be useless.
And Blindfold woke up.

 

[TMITM]

"...what are you?"
"... excuse me?" The Man in the Mirror asked, surprised.
'What... are you? Are you a god? A demon?"
The Man in the Mirror looked at him queerly. "Why do you ask?"
Blindfold shrugged. "I don't know. I feel like it's a part of this mystery."
The Man smiled. He knew Blindfold was getting close.

"I am awake."

Spoiler: Dark Magics

Demons, long ago, when they were trapped in Hell, pioneered some very old and also very powerful types of magic that allowed them to connect with the mortal realm and affect the things inside of it, if only briefly. These methods, however, were seen as barbaric and monstrous when the demons arrived at the surface, (probably because they were) and many of the things that are required to cast this magic are very illegal. There are still demons who practice them, but they are mere charlatans and dabblers, a mere fraction of the former power of the Art, partially because demons born in the mortal realm are different than the demons whose true home is Hell, not better or worse, just different, and can use this magic with varying efficiency.
Aspiring practitioners of the Dark Arts will find no instruction here, only concentrated and brief descriptions of what is truly a part of our heritage, it's true, but most of it is still very illegal.
Knowing this, let's start.

Basic Understanding
Summoning
In the early days of magic, a demon in hell, who could cross over in spirit form, needed a willing volunteer to participate in a ritual called a 'summoning' to bring them to he human realm. Then they could do many things which their spirit form had prohibited them from doing.
But what demons had a hard time doing was just that - finding a willing participant.
But then, many demons started thinking, is it possible to have an unwilling participant?
Yes.
The Dark Magics are namely aimed to cause something that is of incredible magical importance - the three demonic energies, which include Terror, Agony, and Sorrow. Any of these energies causes weakness in a human - and demon - 's soul. This means that any demon could easily posses them in spirit form, or if they were more powerful, could control them, into unwillingly completing the ritual - normally needing a symbol corresponding to the demon, such as a pentagram for basic summoning - summoning the demon into the earthly realm. Once in the earthly realm, demons had much more of an arsenal of options they could use to evoke these energies and/or eliminate their targets, namely the demon's own inborn abilities, which were not accessible to them in spirit form.
Summoning still works today, with older, more powerful demons, and indeed, the demon royalty still uses these methods if they find themselves wanting to come into the earthly realm, which hasn't happened in recent memory.

The Three Demonic Energies
The Three Demonic Energies are: Terror, Agony, and Sorrow. These three things are of paramount importance because they are what cause uncertainty and weakness in the soul. Anger also does this, but anger mainly stems from fear, so it will be omitted in this work.
Uncertainty and weakness in a soul allows for a warped perception of reality in a person's mind - if you are fearful enough, for example, all things are possible to your mind. A Dark Magician's role is to exploit this.
Terror is argued to be the most effective - the soul is normally full of uncertainty and fear, all you need to do, normally, is give it a little push. For whatever you are trying to do, you might need more amounts of it, but fear can be a very easy instigation. All it can take is a weird shadow, or a silhouette that is out of place, or a body moving out of the corner of your eye - all tactics to start ramping up the fear, the human focusing on you, which is an important component in most magic.
Agony is effective also, but is usually not very precise, like trying to perform surgery with a hammer. This one is the quickest to reap the most benefit, but it falls off pretty fast. It takes no buildup, making it extremely useful in certain circumstances, but not for sustained spells or rituals, as you can easily kill your source if you overdo it.
Sorrow is the least effective in short bursts but most effective for a slow burn. If trying to do a sustained spell, say, for a few years, Sorrow would be your best choice. It takes a considerable amount of cultivation for this to work, but when it is casted, it can be very, very powerful.

Spoiler: Blindfold

Name: Unknown


Alias: Blindfold





Age: 21





Appearance: Blindfold is a scruffy-looking man of about twenty, with dirty-blonde hair and usually wears some sort of dark jacket with comfortable pants. Oh, and of course, I'm forgetting. My mistake. He also has a quite notable lack of eyes. They have been replaced with often writhing pools of a black, inky substance called the Ink. Because of this, he usually wears a white cloth over his eyes - a blindfold. Traveling around like this, the strip of cloth would eventually become his namesake, gaining a reputation as mysterious, enigmatic, and powerful.





Personality: Blindfold is usually guarded to new people, as one who is in his line of work tends to do, though he opens up eventually about certain things, if someone else reciprocates. Once he's opened up, he can drive an intriguing or even humorous conversation and enjoys friendly banter with companions. He is very loyal and surprisingly caring, although his analytical and logical side can let him make decisions for the greater good - or what he considers the greater good, leading some people to consider him uncaring; he really isn't, Blindfold just believes that a calm and logical mind is the best solution to a problem, but really just keeps him from facing things that he'd - rather not.


The entity that gave him his powers, the Man in the Mirror, after cursing Blindfold with these abilities and gouging out his eyes, decided to hang around. Blindfold and the Man in the Mirror are constantly in conflict, bantering about what decision Blindfold should take in every given moment. This gives Blindfold the appearance of hesitating every time he speaks to think, but he's actually arguing with the Man.





Abilities:





Second Sight: Since Blindfold is, ah… blind… he tends to use his other, heightened senses, such as sound, smell, and touch. However, there is a power that Blindfold is in the early stages of leaning; a power that will let him see everything around him, with no emphasis at all, seeing everything at once - how the Man sees the world. Blindfold isn't dealing very well with this power, however, and is currently working on perfecting his usage of it. He has… a long way to go.





The Ink: The Ink is a black, viscous liquid that can move and regenerate, as well as change it's density at amazing speeds - allowing Blindfold a very powerful and versatile weapon that he and the Man alone can control. The Ink can come out quick, and can also, with a considerable amount of time, make copies of Blindfold's own cells, healing him at about fourteen times normal speed, a considerable boost, but any serious injury will still put Blindfold out of commission for at least a day. Minor injuries will stay for a few hours, a fatal one? Maybe a week.





Interference: The Ink gives off a weird sort of 'bad luck radius', interfering with all sorts of technology, people, and things. This means it is dangerous to both himself and other people for him to use all but the simplest and most foolproof of technologies, a prime example being a gun. These things simply just go haywire.


If the Man in the Mirror is feeling nice, this bad luck can apply to other people, things trying to affect him such as poison, werewolf bites, and the like.





History: Blindfold was a normal teenager, as most everyone was, except for the fact that his family were a very notorious family that hunted down and killed supernatural beings, considering these beings to be inherently evil, a scourge upon the earth, a plague. This family, a very old and very rich family, mind you, had developed a lot of ways to kill such beings, or at least put them permanently out of commission. Blindfold's side of the family, in the few short years after their mother, Blindfold and his brother's father's wife and the love of his life, died very suddenly and very, very dead. Irreversible, I'm afraid. No matter what the Father tried. And he tried a lot. Down, down he went, down the spiraling pit of insanity.


Using his very extensive knowledge of monsters and supernatural things, the Father tried to summon a very ancient and very, very powerful demon. Or, at least, he thought it was a demon. You see, there are… beings. Beings that trancend mortals' foolish ideas of races, of demons, werewolves. These beings are not to be trifled with. And, in his borderline insanity, the Father trifled with one of them. The most powerful. The Father tried to summon the Man in the Mirror.


It went… badly.


Everyone in the house was transformed into inky beasts, some more powerful than others. Demons, some called them. Others, monsters. But all have learned to stay away from the house, the House of Odd. Ink flows through it, and darkness surrounds it. Reality bends and breaks around it, coiled in the hate and madness and the Father brought to their home - and now it'll stay that way forever.


But one escaped.


The Man in the Mirror doesn't appear for just any old mortal. There was something - someone - that the Man wanted. A child of the Father, one that had the potential to be his host, something not everyone can do. Blindfold was the perfect host, one being able to focus and even amplify his power, with his delectable, fascinating, FRUSTRATINGLY POWERFUL human WILL. His DETERMINATION. HOW CAN HE RESIST ME?


Ahem. I got a little worked up there.


Anyway, after The Man in the Mirror let the little blonde-haired boy escape, he's been both lonelier than he should be and less lonely than he would've liked, with yours truly living in his head.


He made friends all over, demons, humans, werewolves, and now… who knows?
