doodle dump of the worst guy to ever do it

in a nutshell, Distant Windchimes Recite Forgotten Memories is Whispering Reed’s creater, pseudo father figure, professional asshole, tormenter, and all around bastard.

Lore under cut.

He believed the iterators were the cause of the downfall of society into soft, simple-minded fools and tried to start a revolution; he rose the ranks to become RW’s creator so he could indoctrinate her, weaseled his way into the council to seed anti-iterator sentiment and restrict Reed’s rights, and eventually tried to coup and take over the government.

Fortunately for us he played his hand too early and without enough support behind him, so he gave his grand ass speech, tried to coup, failed spectacularly, and was tried for treason and conspiracy and put to death.

He made Reed’s life a living hell… but he was also the closest thing to a father she had. She misses him dearly and hates his guts. She is who she is because of him; for better and worse.

There is a memorial to him in her city, a tradition for high ranking citizens of merit. It’s tucked away though, hidden from public view. One of her overseers keeps constant watch over it. No graffiti or litter tarnishes it; the people knew better than to meddle. They do not understand her attachment, but know better than to anger a grieving god.

He is also the subject of my pfp; that’s his fancy ass tapestry with his golden mask. That one was purposefully marred after his trial to disgrace him. He sucks but it’s also a kickass pfp and originally he was the supervisor over all of the local group so it fit; story has changed significantly but i’m attached at this point

Also in the original story, he was put to death via void fluid and made into an echo permanently stuck on the highest point of WR’s greenhouse. In this version I don’t think this happens, esp after playing watcher and getting a deeper insight into echoes. I don’t think he had the karma; they just gave him the death sentence via whatever method, and he reincarnated back at the very bottom of the chain, forced to climb back up and regain his karma as punishment. He’ll never get to ascend, though, the mass ascension concluded long before his soul could be reincarnated back into a benefactor. Besides, he would not be the same person by then, anyway; good job idiot, you ruined it for all of your next lives
