can i have some splendorman lore? i swear i have asked an old friend of mine this same question like a decade ago, what joy
How nice!
Splendor is the second oldest slenderkin as he was the first successful attempt Slender had at making others of his kind
Splendor was a human, but it's been so long he has only the barest hint of any memories
He was doing something very important when he died, he's sure of it, he remembers holding something.... but when he tries to remember it slips away
His first real memory was waking up to Slender kind of poking him- like he had no idea what exactly he had made (he didn't) & suddenly being *so* happy because he *knew* that was his *family*!!!
Splendor looks fairly identical to Slender except that his arms and legs fade from white to black, the "face" he has is an illusion spell, although he does have real eyes & a mouth they're just under his skin. & if you're around to see them, well, you won't be around much longer!
Slender spent many years alone with Splendor teaching him everything he knew about being one of their kind. How to eat, how to use his tendrils, how to speak telepathically and how to use his telepathy to hunt. And to be quite honest Splendor taught Slender a lot too. (They are rather affectionate with each other)
Splendor also eats mostly children with a few exceptions to that rule as he will eat their parents from time to time
Splendor actually has dozens of Proxies, they are all children he has taken and raised but didn't eat. He calls them his children. He has made a few of them into Slenderkin over the years, but he's also made dozens of Slenderkin from random dying humans he's stumbled upon (Offender was one of those)
