DoL PC: Onyx the Depraved
My main save and menace to society playthrough! >:]
Cut because it got longer than expected. :p
General
Defiant, Vengeful Sadist, Drooling Masochist, Notorious Slut/Whore/Show-off/Scrapper, and Considered a terror; despite all this, still kinda liked in town.
Would be a Notorious Allfather too but the feature's not really there. :p
Beautiful, Lustful, and Asphyxiophilia traits.
Literally thrives on sick depravity, it's his favorite food.
Lives at Bailey's orphanage but never pays him, prefers to just stomp him and his goons once a week.
A bully at school but his looks and attitude make him very popular despite his more... unsavory actions.
Sending Leighton to the pillory is his favorite past time.
Celebrity chef, Bartender, Adult Shop Attendant, Model, and Brothel Star.
Got a parasite once and was never the same. Now a father of many many many slimes.
Was always an incubus but gained the Cow TF at the farm.
Escaped Remy's secret farm after becoming the farmer's prized cattle. At first, he hated his forced hybrid nature but he loves what being made into a bullboy did to his body; he's super buff and produces milk now. Score!
Escaped prison but lowkey misses pushing the other inmates and even the guards around.
His "types": older men, rich women, brats, and horrific otherworldly beings.
Somehow remembers the names of each of his slimes but not his human children.
Relationships
(Love Interests)
He, Robin, and Corrupt Sydney are bestfriends! :]
Knows about Kylar's obsession and bullies him for it, would probably only gain interest after learning about Kylar's "daddy issues". *
Fucks around with Whitney. Onyx likes the three F's: fighting, fucking, and funds; Whitney provides all three.
At first, he started working for Alex purely to spite Remy but started to genuinely like the guy as a friend.
Thinks Avery is a huge brat, wants to collar and fuck him until he stops whining about his weak standing among the other rich bastards in town. He does like getting $2K just for looking good though so he'll keep Avery around.
Has never met the You are being Hunted trio, so no opinion on Eden, Black Wolf, or Great Hawk.
*He'd love the depravity and really play into it.
(People of Interest)
Hates Bailey but would totally hit it at any given chance.
Has an oddly deep respect for Briar despite her literally being diet Bailey, not even he knows why.
Protects Darryl when working as a Bartender in her club but is mostly indifferent to her.
Absolutely fucking terrified of Harper, that dude literally altered his brain chemistry for one and then tried to take him back to the farm after he escaped.
Indifferent towards Laundry and Mickey but appreciates their business.
Oh boy, where to start with Leighton. Well- [CENSORED FOR PUBLIC SAFETY]
Only knows Niki from the studio, likes them by not by much. If he knew they worked on the farm, he'd flip.
Would charge at and trample Remy since he likes bulls so much, it'd be cathartic for Onyx despite him seemingly enjoying being a bullboy.
Credits Sam for his success as a celebrity pastry chef, still mostly indifferent towards her.
First met Wren in prison and thought he was cool, thought he was awesome when he actually went through with sabotaging Remy during Blackjack. All that admiration flew out the window when he had to suck off all of Wren's friends for his clothes back. >:/
Loves Sirris as a teacher and boss, lowkey wants to make another "sex-ed" video with him.
FUCKING HATES MS. RIVER, He is a complete delinquent so she targets him a bit. He thinks it's funny when she passes out from his antics with Whitney though.
Wants Doren biblically, even more so if she's actually a werewolf like the rumors say.
Hates Mr. Winter, bastard left him in that stupid pillory like five times. Intrigued by his interests in medieval punishment though.
Thinks Mason is kinda hot, not his type.
Never met the others.
Lookbook :D
Everyday Look x3, School, Swimming, Formal, Athletic, Sleep, and finally the Brothel fit, babeyyy!
His tattoos: a horned skull on his chest, "Paradise" beneath his pierced bellybutton with an arrow pointing downstairs (okay fine, it's canonically Size Queen but let! me! have! this!), and ofc a cattle brand on his left asscheek.

In Time of Peril by Edmund Blair Leighton
Depicts two young princes, one still a baby wrapped in his mother’s elaborate royal clothing, being spirited away from danger to a protective monastery.
As the adults in the boat await anxiously for permission to enter the sanctuary, the young prince looks over his shoulder and the potential lurking danger.
In a letter, the artist describes the scene as:
“laid at the watergate of a monastery in the fourteenth century;
the outcome of reading of the shelter afforded by such places to the women, children,
and treasure of those who were hard-driven, and in danger.”
“In Time of Peril” remains a favourite painting due to its technical qualities, and the imaginative story it tells evoking western historical royalist fantasy.
