So…do you need to sleep, Animus?

“Not exactly, though I do try to keep a normal sleep schedule. Scout will keep pestering me otherwise.”

(Suddenly, he notices Scout’s absence.)

“…where is he—”

(Suddenly, loud music that can best be described as “fighting a god in a life-or-death situation” blasts from somewhere nearby.)

(Animus just looks tired.)

“Oh, for the love of the Ancients—”

[knowing-of-animus]

So…you have any nicknames? :>

“Yes, actually—“Ani”. Seeing as I typically go by “Animus”, I’d say it’s a nickname.”

(His gaze darkens for a moment.)

“However, I don’t let just anyone call me by that. Only friends or close friends are allowed to.”

(There’s a little…cat…slug…thing running across the open plains, carrying a spear on its back, looking around and charting course for a nearby hill…)

(…until it runs right into a tree. It’s dazed, but gets back up and starts climbing the tree. When it gets to a high enough branch, it breaks off a large piece of bark and starts using the spear to carve what seems to be a map into it.)

(It continues to work like this until a small water droplet hits it on the nose. It looks up, sees the storm clouds, puts the spear on its back, and immediately starts descending the tree. It then starts running back where it came from, bark discarded.)

(It eventually ducks into a shelter, leaping into the lap of a puppet, who starts petting it as the rain falls outside.)

“Isn’t the cycle about to end…? Find shelter, before the rain comes…”

Do not flirt with the mod. I repeat, do NOT flirt with the mod. It’s fine directed towards the OC, however.

Mod is in education, so response times can vary. If I don’t respond to your ask, please wait 1 or 2 days before resending.

Mod speaks in red text, and character uses white.

Have fun! This is important.

Mod might forget tags.

Mod made the icons in Picrew. (Iterator Picrew here -> X) (Slugcat Picrew here -> X)

Mod got the name through clicking through a Rain World Iterator generator on Perchance. (Iterator Generator here -> X)

Mod assumes you’ve played Rain World (despite the mod having actually only played it on easy mode and like a coward for 44 minutes), and at least know of Iterators. Mod will update this with Rain World playtime on Steam occasionally.

⚠️Mod is irritated by asks about Palestine fundraisers. Mod will say that if you want to help, do it through a trusted organization like the Red Cross. Don’t trust strangers on the Internet claiming to be needing the funds. Mod will ignore/delete these asks. This also applies to the mod’s other blogs.⚠️

OC Rundown

One of the Iterators of times now long past. Also, he has no idea where he is now, but continues his purpose of finding solutions…until he shuts off due to overworking himself.

Basic Description: His “body” is a puppet. It’s light gray in color, and has a soft purple cloak with faded violet and white accents over it, and he also wears a black scarf. He has gray iron antennae on either side of his head, and wires protruding from the back of his neck. A black sun makes up a marking on his forehead.

His left eye has lost all power, turning completely black. His right eye still has power, and still has its original green color. His right antenna has been damaged slightly over the years. He is attached to the wall of his chamber via a mechanical arm that allows him to move freely, but it also leaves him incapable of leaving that chamber.

Name: Knowing of Animus (or just…Animus.)

Weapon: No(ne yet, likely Catalyst or Polearm)

Vision: No(ne yet)

Gender: Male

Constellation: (The stars haven’t lit up for this individual.)

Rarity: ☆☆☆☆

Quirks: Overly apologetic. Physically unable to leave his chamber, has a designated Slugcat scout for gathering information on the outside world. Will “power down” before rain comes. The Slugcat cannot speak and “speaks” in charades.

Height: Probably around 5’ 5’’

Home Region: Will only call it a “dangerous land” and cite the rain as one of the many dangers. And the lizards. And the Miros Vultures. And the Spitter Spiders. And the—you get the idea. (He’s not really native to Teyvat…)

Inventory: Black compression gloves, black scarf, glasses, random colored pearls, journal, a Slugcat he found, decided to adopt, and train as a scout (he also…named it Scout. Literally), and a picture of him and the Slugcat.

Picture of Scout (made using a Picrew) for those who want a visual:

(This is my child. I love him.❤️)
