This is H.I.M, an 8 Foot Tall (or taller) entity of darkness reborn by the void of void god. When a person sees them, it is too late to flee as darkness warps they're vision it pulls their eyesight into a devouring darkness and then they appear surrounded by darkness but able to see they stand on a blackend platform sat in a chair as H.I.M. emerges from the darkness. They're the governing overlord of the void but take orders from VG their god of the void.
The darkness isnt normal when HIM is around it takes a devouring life of its own consuming through worlds, concepts, and bodies like decay and rot. it is also infectous if either its touched or H.I.M. attacks.
ShadowFractures: usually when an entity brings itself back to life after an attack from H.I.M. they're not the excat same as limbs and the body will have cracks like ceramic, this is known as ShadowFractures which were once just red vines that infested machinery but over time evolved to manifest as the dark and in the darkness. The fractures start off being mild but with each d eath the cracks grow worse effecting more of the body as their consumed by darkness. Scyntoms are coldness, lucidiy, sometimes limbs go limp or act out violently and will have a similar infectous touch as the void thst surrounds H.I.M pressence but has less severe effects then what H.I.M. can do. While they fracture they can also lose parts of themselves like arms, the soul, even their mind, which like detach or slip out of their bodies in black sludges they are the manifested traits given form as Unlinks, Unlinks take the shape or object of the persons memories, body parts, or favorite things.
Their presence is at first felt in the atmosphere feeling colder and staticy, than seen with some objects being blotched out, the environment becoming less colofcolorful, in the nighttime the darkest parts of their surroundings they'll emerge at first physically a gray shape like a torso which slowly comes into view, details rendering in and at that point it would be already too late as if they would be right there in front of them looming silent yet judging and determining your fate.
They were once human, an old man, who worked in science and engineering as a job and passion but was getting out done by new machinery and media sources, old office buildings shutting down, and being unemployed by his manager after being told they were out of service and spaces and needed to cut old workers so their profits won't plummet. They had whole months of free time of thinking and doubting their capacity and after a whole winter went by and spring was coming up, he decided to not be pulled down by their regret and take up an art hobby and an new personal project. It was years and built the first prototype of a device the shadow extractor. Or rather the VOID CONTROL device. Though it was only able to take shadows and extract a small vial of fuel from it had everyone but a woman mock how incompetent it sounded and foolish it was. The woman had been their friend every since they met multiple times at a park and festival, at when their paths crossed it was accidental but time and time again they found each other interacting at first it was a talk from only the woman but over time they got use to talking about their personal lives eventually they were a friendship, a team, panthers even if they were not the same people or recognize each other.
The woman had phone called them and after five separate rings came from the phone as they didn't want to and kept ignoring it until they recalled a time they learned of her phone number (once they knew how to use a phone) and so picked up and discussed first of their personal project, the woman thought it was a tad bit weird but assured herself and accepted the invite to his house as well as pathering up to finish building their device but after creating the mans, device the woman was curious as to why they would want to create such a machine anyway, H.I.M showed her what it would do, by pulling out a crystal that seemed to take away the light from everyrhing around it explaining that thing they were hold was the power source of it and inserted the crystal into the device slot and activated the device for the first time.
The sound of the device was an audible screech like from states away as a thin blinding streak of light pierced through the skies so fast it seemed to as well break something else, it couldn't be perceived but H.I.M and the woman witnessed it, the reality breaking before their eyes, pulling open and revealing a bed room or a work space, a brief glimpse thst their word was nothing but writing on a computer screen made by a collosal entity or maybe even a real person, at least as real as they could believe before the tear closed up and a chunk of that dark mineral was created or taken from its screen. They couldn't go back to being normal after that, it was weeks and it still hadn't left their mind, though they were split on what they were watching while the woman was watching in awe of the human, H.I.M was looking passed the being further and more over to darkness which seem to beckon them to come and bring them to their world, planting a black seed in their head as their painting showed a decline from passions to obsessions. At first it just a few speckles of dark hear and their but as his condition worsened from use of the device over and over his paints more black canvases and a few to little color left, the woman felt to stay away from tjode particularl as they made her nauseated and were in nightmares even if they weren't particularly off putting.
She started suggesting they should just hold off working on that device just to take a break and away to their park, but H.I.M decline which hadn't ever happened in theur friendship before and she wanted to know what happened until she saw that one of his limbs were blackened and looked like it would sloth out of its sleeve, startled the woman didn't approach as H.I.M only partially turnt around but never enough to see their whole face as they shut the garage doors behind themself. After months of trying to call him the woman went over to his house, the neighborhood was unnaturally empty as well as the skies being alive and shadows were being a little too cohesive to simply stroll and began pacing quickly to his house which looked worse for ware, and as she get got her way inside and seeing all the horrific machinery and horrors of people silhouettes flattened on the walls and hiding from shadowy figures she'd eventually reach to the depths where H.I.M was as he had deteriorated completely being left a torso and an eye strung up by coiled tubes and black tendril veins that come from The (VOID Control) which had become a monstrosity of machinery and bodies stuffed inside,
And as it activated it had tore an opening so large it took up the entire sky across the entire continent, having everything become undone before their very eyes, they were both obliterated being the closest to the distortion which tore through the universe and timeline shredding ut up into large distorted fragments floating in the void, all with their times mess up beyond recognition the parts of H.I.M. that still remained intact were taken by VG the VC took their body and made it into eldtrich host of terrifying multiversal corruption, and horror.
They are basically an 4D antagonist who messes with the story on an ARG like way breaking the 4th wall, warping multipe plot points of BUK1's and Dalice's story creating an entire pocket universe within one of BUK1's draft paper storyline (there's the ARG > the book story > the meta story > and the storyline yes it gets weird and complicated with multipe layers and depth! 🤷♂️).
around HIM their worse nightmares will take form and imaginations become nightmarish reality. the familiar everyday shapes twist to become unkown and shrouded in the void and what is void, him follows, the void creeps over everything and any lighthouse is snuffed out.
