#help affectionate villian

[stark-alchemy]

Gotta give some love to Eclipse in my NiD!AU! He used to be a idol for his brothers but after they began forming their own opinions on Wizeman's evil ways and hanging around the other Dreamers, he began feeling them drift away from him. He is still loyal to Wizeman, but he finds that he's missing companionship for the first time in a long time and feels his role as the catalyst to reawakening their former master is his only role and fate...and then he meets Y/N.

His design is by far my favorite of the brothers, I wanted to make him overly dramatic in his design and also similar in design to Wizeman so that he'd be a recognizable villian. I also may have borrowed elements of Marx from Kirby for this jester theme as well as Venetian masquerade costumes.

He's such a terror and plays the villian well, but he's also easily flustered and doesn't handle affectionate gestures well. He gets all shy like a goof. Sun and Moon used to give him cuddle attacks to simmer down his temper.

He's fairly jealous of his brothers, since they could leave their roles and just enjoy their lives, but he resents NiGHTS for influencing his brothers to begin with. He personally would, and still does, attack NiGHTS on sight, blaming him for the changes while being left in the dust.
