Revisited my design for Simon(Throbbing King) during his human years. Son of a wealthy coal baron, who really only had a son to accrue more wealth via having him run another mining town. Simon was neglected by both parents, which led to his nasty personality.
(Vague backstory outline past the readmore)
Even as an infant, he was left to handmaids and manservants, with his parents just throwing wealth at their son to solve any problems. Simon learned quickly he could get away with murder; at first metaphorically, and then it began to get literal. But who in his town could touch him? He was practically king of this mining town!! Simon didn't truly start harvesting townsfolk for parts until one of the mines under his jurisdiction found what appeared to be an old cult hideout, and brought out an old text describing a ritual for 'immortal perfection' and Simon became obsessed with achieving this so-called perfection.
After so much barely concealed murder of innocents, the remaining townsfolk had enough one fateful night. The very same night Simon began the ritual in the secret basement of his estate, the mob stormed in, and in interrupting Simon the event, got caught up in it's foul magic. Simon himself achieved immortality, but was...not perfect. Not in the slightest. His appearance now the one we see as Throbbing King (sans his, er, Throne), and the townsfolk killed in the rituals completion had their remains twisted into the various denizens we see in the Throbbing Domain.
Simon was enraged, but always quick to turn any situation into his favor, saw these monstrosities as his servants. His subjects. As the estate and surrounding mining town burned above them, Simon used his power over flesh and blood to dig deep down into the Earth and create his kingdom. He refused to even THINK he did the ritual wrong? How could he? No no, it was the parts he used. Sure, he took the best parts, but it was the best parts from a bunch of dumb hicks in the mountains. He needed better. The very best, fit for a King. Taken from whoever may stumble into his domain.
Simon crowned and called himself King. He WOULD claim the surface as his own in time. He WOULD HAVE ALL OF THEM KNEEL. And most of all; he would be SO MUCH MORE than his father's legacy could ever hope to achieve.
1933 was the last year anyone heard from that mining town. But some nights, wandering through the mountains, one could see a strange being of flesh and adorned with a crown barking orders at other horrors as they carried bodies into an old mineshaft.

Hi- Idk if there's a post already or anything about this but- how did Rez find/meet Simon?
Also I really really really really like how you draw the king so much Ok have a nice day byyyyye
Whoops meant to answer this earlier but I did type out a rough scene of their first encounter when talking to @sin-simps !! It would take maybe a couple months before Simon finally shows up on Rez's doorstep proclaiming revenge (after being chased out of the Throbbing Domain by his 'formerly loyal' servants) and a few weeks of him camping out on said doorstep before Rez finally lets him in because. Well. Look at him he's pathetic what could he do??
