thank GOODNESS I could finish this- beneath the cut's a profile for them!! :D

buckle up, because it's a lot of information-

TENEBRIS!!!

Goes by they/them pronouns :D

Don't ask them for their age. Even I don't know how old they are.

The one and only leader of the Obitus Cult/Cult of Obitus!!

A very egotistic and anti-social being that has utterly devoted their loyalty to their "god" Obitus.

Can be quick to anger as well, lashes out on their members if they're really frustrated.

Of course, they're nothing like this around newcomers. Needs to somehow convince them to join, right?

Well, they can just force people if they wanted to with spells.

The magic they're capable of involves more chants and recitals, as well as making very strange substances and potions.

Their shopping list looks very strange, as you can imagine.

Kind of tying in the shopping thing, they get all of their resources delivered to their temple. Tenebris very rarely leaves the premises, and the members aren't allowed to leave at all.

They hate children. And chocolate.

And bright lighting- all the rooms in the temple are very dimly lit and all their clothes are darkly coloured.

This is their voice claim!

Their hair is quite heavy (and well taken care of) so you can guess that they're very slow.

MORE THINGS ABOUT THE CULT ITSELF!!

You can call it either the Obitus Cult or the Cult of Obitus- Tenebris calls it the latter.

This group made up of almost 100 people places their faith and loyalty to Obitus.

According to Tenebris- who claimed to have witnessed them in their sleep one night, starting up the cult the next day- Obitus plans on completely obliterating the Earth of humanity and civilization and told them to prepare for the end of the world. basically.

When this will happen?....Tenebris wasn't told that.

They also do not know what this otherworldly overlord looks like- however, they know an eye-shaped symbol (on Tenebris' hat and necklace) is very important as that appeared in their dream too.

The temple is located in a very secluded mountain range- Tenebris was simply told to go there by Obitus and it was already there. Convenient.

As pictured above, members have to have the eye symbol engraved into their wrist (or palm)- after this, they happen to be almost under a trance or brainwashed.

When praying to Obitus, they expose out the arm with the marking and their other arm behind that one, raised up to their face. Like this:

I hope that makes sense sjkksjks- while they do have lengthy prayer times and different types of prayers, a short and simple one they use is "We place our faith in Obitus."

The temple is full of many different rooms, including a dining hall, summoning room and bunkers (Tenebris gets their own room, obviously.)

They also follow a strict schedule- They must be asleep by 8 p.m. and awake and ready for the day by 4 a.m. They have two food breaks- one for breakfast and one for dinner. Once a month, they also hold a summoning ritual in order to attempt communicating with Obitus once more.

Members have their own jobs as well as worshipping Obitus though- cooking, cleaning, assisting Tenebris; that's all done by them as well.

While Tenebris mainly targets lonely people or those who don't have a social life, they are happy to accept anyone in! Well, that is if you're over 18.

I'm afraid teenagers (and children) are not allowed to join. However, Tenebris does take note of minors who do want to join and if you're REALLY nice, may let you visit the temple if you do some errands for them.

EXTRA FACT STUFF ABOUT TENEBRIS:

I based them more off of what first comes to mind when you think of cults- and, unintentionally, they also partially remind me of the cult in Spooky Month which I forgot existed ;-;

Because, after researching real life cult leaders, I felt like their stories weren't really what I was going for with Tenebris.

I guess the Peoples Temple founded by Jim Jones and the Family Cult by Anne Hamilton-Byrne were partial inspirations- oh, and religious experiences I've had, Catholic-Christian ones that is. (this is in no way meant to portray anything bad about that religion- or any at all- I just wanted to make the cult-y side of this more interesting by basing it off of what I know.)

My sister nicknames them Tenny and I (as well as others hee hee) nickname em Tennis, so you might see that often lol

I'm pretty sure they're the first oc I posted about on here! Although I think the post got like 7 notes-

When I first drew them, which was a while ago, they were more like a triangle shape and had larger eyes- my sister likes this version more but I think it just looks goofier- might post it once I find it :D

Tenebris means Darkness in Latin (according to translators) because I couldn't think of a name for them and just thought "think of something kinda edgy, then make it Latin to sound cool >:D"

Obitus means Death in Latin (according to translators once more I can't speak Latin-)

Thank you for reading this far!! I'm going to just tag @night-terrorzz @lobotomize-d n @gummy-worms-in-my-brain since you lovely people seem to like this cult leader :>

A submission for the @dualityvn Fanfiction Contest. Please go play the demo, it’s fantastic!

CW: Descriptions of attempted SA(Tenebris saves you) nothing graphic, but definitely don’t read if that’s a trigger for you, mentions of violence, mentions of blood, home invasion maybe???

Other notes: GN reader, SFW

Tonight was the night. You were going to catch the person that had been sneaking into your room every night for the past week.

At first, you thought you were crazy when you woke up and your water glass was full when you knew you had drunk at least half of it before falling asleep. So for the sake of your sanity, you had set up your phone to record a video of you sleeping in a hidden spot.

Sure enough, a few hours after you fell asleep, a tall, lanky man crawled through your bedroom window. Your SECOND STORY bedroom window. To your surprise, he took your glass from your nightstand, exited the room, and replaced it, now full. Then, he leaned over your sleeping form for a moment before tucking you in and leaving the same way he had arrived. You couldn’t help but feel vulnerable, but at the same time, he hadn’t hurt you or stolen anything.

You weren’t sure how much time had passed, but you forced yourself to feign sleep as you heard your window open. Your heartbeat picked up as his footsteps approached the nightstand and then retreated out of the room. You heard a sink run, and then he returned.

It took all of your willpower to stay calm as you felt his fingers brush the hair from your face. Something soft touched your forehead. You could feel his lips move against your skin as he whispered three words.

“Sleep tight, (y/n).”

This man was breaking into your home… to kiss you goodnight and tuck you in? You felt him begin to pull away, and just like the previous nights, he started to adjust the blanket on your bed. ‘Here goes nothing!’ You thought, and you grabbed his wrist.

The man let out a startled noise. Your eyes snapped open and you looked into his eyes. You’d know those violet hues anywhere.

“Tenebris, just what in the hell do you think you’re doing?!” He winced at your angry tone, but his eyes were drawn to where you were still gripping his wrist. “Tucking you in? I thought that was obvious.” “By sneaking into my bedroom in the dead of night?” “Well I don’t live with you, so yeah.”

You pinched the bridge of your nose and let go of his wrist. Patting the edge of the bed to invite him to sit, you thought back to the day you met him.

💙💙💙

“Turn around and strip and I won’t cut you!” You swallowed hard as your legs shook. It turns out, taking your usual back alley shortcut at dusk wasn't your best idea. Now, an unkempt man who reeked of alcohol stood behind you with a buck knife pressed to your neck. “Okay! Okay, just please, don’t hurt me!” You started to unbutton your shirt.

“Hey, what’s going on here?” A voice called from the end of the alley. “Please, help me!” You cried, too afraid to move. “This doesn’t concern you. Scram!” The man behind you barked. “If I were you, I’d let them go.” You heard footsteps approaching. Your body was yanked to face the newcomer, and you watched as they stepped into the light of the street lamp.

What you saw took a moment for you to process. A tall, lanky blond man stood before you. However, his skin was a deep blue and his mouth looked unnatural. Along with normal lips, there were seams that stretched almost ear to ear, and his frown allowed you to make out sharp teeth that glinted in the pale yellow light. His vibrant purple eyes were opened wider than seemed normal, giving him a look of surprise, though his glare told you otherwise. His supernatural appearance left you in awe.

“What the fuck is wrong with your face?!” Your captor exclaimed with disgust. “Rude!” You snapped, despite your situation. It earned you a small cut on your neck as the man pressed the knife harder against your skin. As you winced, you felt a drop of blood roll down your neck to your collarbone. The blond man seemed angry now, though you couldn’t tell if it was the comment or the sight of your blood that set him off.

“Let them go, asshole!” He growled, taking a menacing step forward. Your captor took a step back, pulling you with him, as if using you like a human shield. What happened next, you weren’t exactly sure. All you saw was a flash of blue, and you heard a metallic clank. Looking down, the knife now laid at your feet. You grabbed it and started to turn, but you heard the blue man say, “Stay put.”

The sounds coming from behind you were horrific, and you guessed he didn’t want you to see what he was doing to the man that had attacked you. Strangely, you couldn’t bring yourself to feel bad about it. A breeze blew through the alley, reminding you that your shirt was unbuttoned. Fixing your clothes, you realized in the absence of adrenaline that you were freezing. You heard a deep sigh, and suddenly a black leather jacket, speckled with blood, was draped over your shoulders. Your savior stepped into your vision.

“You okay?” He asked, looking at your neck. You nodded and winced as your cut burned. “Thanks for saving me…” “Name’s Tenebris.” He said, rubbing the back of his neck bashfully. “My name is (y/n). I can’t thank you enough for your help.” You said with a warm smile, and held your hand out to him. He looked you up and down, assessing your reaction to him, before gently taking your hand. It was at this point you noticed that like his jacket, he too was covered in blood spatter.

“Cmon Tenebris, let’s get you cleaned up! Walk me home, and I’ll wash your clothes for you.” You said, tugging him. “I dunno if that’s a good-“ “If you like sweets, I have a chocolate cake we can eat while we wait~” “Lead on!”

💙💙💙

You had taken him into your apartment and let him shower while you washed his clothes. Over the next few weeks, you had become good friends. He often walked you home from work to keep you safe. But that didn’t explain why he was sneaking into your room at night.

As he settled on your bed, you took a deep breath to calm your mind. As much as you wanted to scream and be angry, you needed answers.

“Why are you doing this?” You asked him, flipping on your bedside lamp. “There have been a string of break ins in this neighborhood, all happening at about this time. I’ve been coming here and checking on you.” Tenebris explained. “Okay, I guess that makes sense, but why do you think that you need to check on me?”

Suddenly, he couldn’t look you in the eye. “I… care about you. A lot. And I can’t relax until I see for myself that you’re safe.” “What exactly are you saying?” Tenebris took a deep breath and grabbed your hand. “It’s just… the first time you saw me, it was in a dark alley and you were in a really bad situation. But even with all of that happening, you weren’t afraid of me. You defended me while you had a knife at your neck. You’re the first person to not judge me for how I look. You make me feel… normal.” He finally looked at you, his blushing face almost matching his eyes.

Your heart melted at the adoring expression he gave you. Even if he didn’t outright say it, you knew what he was trying to get across. “Tenebris, I love you, too!” You proclaimed and threw yourself in his arms. He scooped you up and spun you around the room, laughing.

As he set you down, you let out an impressive yawn. “Keeping you up, am I?” Tenebris joked. “Hey, cut me some slack, I had to stay up late to catch you!” You snarked, resting your head on his shoulder. Shaking his head, he gently laid you back on your pillows. “Alright, let’s try this again, shall we? Sleep tight, (y/n).” He said, pressing a kiss to your forehead.

“Wait, Tenebris… why don’t you stay? That break in talk kinda has me spooked.” You suggested, giving him your best puppy eyes. He looked lost in thought for a moment, before nodding. He slipped off his jacket and shoes, and flipped off the light. Tenebris gingerly crawled into bed with you, not wanting to do anything to make you uncomfortable.

“C’mere, you!” You laughed, rolling your eyes. You tugged him close to you, so his head rested on your shoulder. As you carded your fingers through his hair, a deep rumble came from him. “Are you purring?” “Maybe…” he mumbled, nuzzling into your neck.

“Thank you for taking care of me, Tenebris. I love you.” “Love you too, (y/n).”

Art has been a little bit stagnant rn. So I made my babs having nightmares <:'3 💔

Sombrius has nightmares on the fear of everyone he cares and loves being killed in front of him while Tenebris is her being a mess up, and everyone hates her

(More lore below)

Back in the hive, there were no such things as emocional support and physical consoling. So both of the siblings had to mask any emotions so they won't seem as weak & lose their perfect DM status.

When being freed from the hive, both of them became super close & relied on each other for support. So they slept the night together whenever one of them had these nightmares to reassure themselves that everything will be ok.

This happens periodically, but it becomes less frequent when they learn how to manage it by reassuring each other & with the help of their friends on how to stop it.

I know there's the Fountain of Dreams that prevent people from having nightmares in Dream Land. But from a Dark Matter, however, while can be treated, it won't be as easy to get rid of said nightmares because DMs are made on negative energy by nature.

So Dark Matters are more prone to have nightmares than other species. 💔
