For those of you who don't know:
Since I was a little kid, I've loved Poe's stories and poems, especially The Raven and The Masque of the Red Death. A long while back I make a Gris Grimly-version-esque of the Red Death for Xeeran in his angst-angst-ANGST stage.
Anyhow, since Xeeran died (then was brought back to life in his old body, his true body), I lost that form, even though it was awesome.
I missed it.
SO. Upon looking at the Wikipedia article for Poe, I looked wencemore upon the story, and saw one of the original illustrations for it.
This got my creative juices churning, and this happened.
His name is Constantine, and he was Prospero's son. He was the only one to survive the Red Death's hand, but at a terrible cost: he became the new Red Death incarnate, so that the older one might finally die as he had so desired to for decades.
As you can see, it's a painful existance.
ANYHOW after a few decades he exiled himself and lived the life of a hermit, until Chimaera accidently stumbled upon him. She's immune to almost all diseases and viruses, so she became his friend without fear of what he embodies.
After awhile she had to go, and he followed her. He and Sineater are her guardians now, since she has no common sense whatsoever. =p
YES I KNOW HIS FACE IS OFF. IT BURNNNNS US. :C
