Sorry Mik I gave up on shading
Ahh. Poor Mr. Puzzles. Didn’t realize the guy he was talking down to was actually an Eldritch horror half from space half from Earth.
Time to explain Theo I guess /hj
Theo Henry was born to Jackson Henry and his wife Kristine Henry alongside his twin sister Alice. Sadly, Kristine didn’t survive childbirth, making Jackson a widower and to care for twin infants alone. Until he met an alien named Nightmare, who was an awol Shadow Eater soldier who couldn’t kill the Sonic Universian princess, so he took her and ran in order to keep her safe. The two bond and eventually fall in love and get married. They also adopt two other kids that they found abandoned.
However, Theo became sick and was given about a month or so to live. So, Nightmare gave him a blood transfusion due to Shadow Eaters not following the same biological rules as humans. This was basically a Hail Mary. Thankfully, it worked. But Theo began to change.
The kid didn’t look human anymore. His eyes turned from a reddish-brown like his mother’s to a light blue, his skin became black and slimy, his face began to shrink and almost melt off, and what could only be described as shadows began emanating from him. He wasn’t in any pain though. The child actually had no idea it was happening to him until one of his dads pointed it out.
So, using magic, Nightmare created an amulet that would keep the boy human as long as he wore it. So he has lived a semi-normal life with his four siblings, although he accidentally got involved with a mystery of a cult in the woods as well as some Fae that have been trapped as humans and want to be free. But that’s fine.
But then he and his friends discover the underground… codenamed Pandora, btw.
When investigating the Underground, Theo was captured by Ace Rook, Timothy’s dad, and was subjected to experimentation as well, which allows him to use his powers while wearing the amulet. He was able to escape and took Timothy with him, since they met in that lab and are also connected due to the experiments so that if say Timothy gets stabbed in the arm, Theo gets an identical wound and pain and vise versa.
Don’t want to explain too much because this is an original project I am working on and hoping to have published at some point in the future. :)
