guess who's back. back again. with another Slender oc!
Hey! I'm back! and I would like to introduce you to one of my oldest slender oc's who I just now got around to drawing lol
This is my baby boy Salem. He was one of the first ever slender oc's I made when I first discovered creepypasta's and slender creatures. So, for the simple and short explanation of who he is, Salem is one of Slenderman's children for the first ever au I made. Specifically his youngest child, having two older brothers and two older sisters. However, I'm not going to tell you about the original Au because, one it was trash and two I've already long forgotten about it and stupid little me never wrote down the actual lore so.... that is long forgotten. HOWEVER, there is new lore for him and I will that with you instead. So, let me give you a little run down on who he is and a nice thick bit of lore for him
As said before, this is Salem. Full name being Salem Siren Mann. He is the Slender equivalent of a 36 year old man who stands about 7'6 ft in height. As mentioned before, he is slenderman's kid and is the youngest of five kids. His two eldest siblings are a set of twin boy's named Sammy and Sapphire and then next comes his two older sister's Selena (based off of slenderina cause my brain is stupid lol) and Stella.
Salem is known for being a nature lover so when growing up in his childhood home, Salem was known to run around in the woods, socializing with the forest animals and picking wild flowers. He almost always came home with a bouquet of wild flowers and gave them to his mother (who is another oc of mine), especially when he was little. During his teenage years and when his abilities were starting to fully come in, he started to grow a little mischievous towards the humans that dared to come into his fathers woods, especially campers. He loved playing pranks on the humans by scaring them and running them out of the woods. But his pranks were always harmless for the most part and never really hurt anyone
In his early 20s, Salem was starting to truly figure out who he was and who he wanted to be in his older age while also finally getting a good sense of control over his powers. Unlike his father, who hated humans with a passion, Salem didn't mind humans. He wasn't a huge fan of them but he didn't outright hate them like his dad did. However, humans ain't completely safe when it comes to Salem. While he doesn't really bother with humans as he thinks their just silly little monkeys, there two types of humans that Salem LOVES to mess with and basically hunt for his own pleasure. One of these types being teenagers that don't know how to mind their business and get too nosy while the other type wealthy men that get to big for their pants.
One of Salem's infamous way's of scaring the people of these groups is via phone. Especially if that phone shouldn't even work like long abandoned payphones or disconnected rotary phones that have been sitting in the bottom of lakes. That is one of Salem's many powers. Technological manipulation. Salem can mess with any type of camera, tv, radio or phone no matter the make or model but he mostly sticks to phones and radios as they are his favorite think to mess with, especially if their vintage. So if you are ever in an abandoned office building and you suddenly hear the sound of an old rotary phone ringing or if your driving down a back road that leads into a forest and your radio starts to act all weird, then that just might be Salem looking for a victim to play with
Unlike his father, Salem is known to dress more casually like in loose half buttoned dress shirts and jeans or loose sweaters. Salem doesn't really enjoy the feeling of suits and wears them as little as possible. He finds full suits to be restricting and that they only should truly be worn during something special instead of on a daily basis. He kind of dresses more like a guidance counselor that actually knows what their doing and how to truly do their job which is way people trust them
Speaking of guidance counselor, that is what Salem disguises himself as when roaming the human world! Salem is the guidance counselor for a college in the rural town of Oakwater, which is the town that sits right at the edge of the slender forest, which is why it was so easy for Salem to snatch a position at. He's a very deeply trusted staff member and actually does his job as a good counselor, which he enjoys very much. As a human, he takes on the name Jayden Salem, because he thinks it's funny to use his real name as his fake last name. No one has figured out who he actually is so his idea seems to be working just fine lol
fast fact! similar to his fathers love for coffee, Salem loves monster energy drinks. He thinks they taste funny and likes trying them all
Just like his father, Salem has a proxie mark that appears on people when he takes them in as his proxy's...... which he has yet to do even though he is 36 years old. Salem really doesn't find Proxy's necessary like his father does. But then again, Salem runs things a lot different then his father does, which would explain why he doesn't find proxy's necessary.... He also grew up with them in his father's manner and always found them annoying with could also be a factor lol
But as for his Proxy mark, as you can see, is a lot different then his fathers and arguably has a lot more detail since... well we all know what Slenderman's mark is and Salem's is a literal god damn phone with a sparking cord. If it wasn't obvious as to why it's a phone, it's because he likes to use a phone to lure people to him. However, the cord might not be as obvious so let me explain it to you. It's Salem's favorite way to take someone out. Yes you heard me. He like's killing people with a rotary phone cord. I will not go into detail as to how but you can probably guess lmao
Now as for where Salem lives as an adult slender being. Salem lives in the slender forest! Well.... a slender forest. When a slender being grows up and gains their own home, which is always in some kind of heavily nature based area, that becomes their territory and more often times then not, that territory is a forest. So there are several different slender forests. It's just which forest and which slender it is is the real question. As for Salem, he lives in the slender forests of Marietta, Georgia. Yes... Salem is a southern slender being lmao
If you hadn't noticed yet, on the two pictures of Salem's hands you can noticed there is a ring on his wedding finger. And yes, Salem is married! Salem is happily married to his husband Honey (another oc of mine that is a fan child of a different horror character. Do with that as you will lol) who is a southern born creature, which is way Salem lives down in Georgia. Because his husband liked it down there and Salem also liked it down there so down there they lived lmao. And on top of that, Salem actually has a child of his own! Actually he has several but only one of them is fleshed out so.... heh. Anyway! This one child is named Dallas. Yes he's named after Dallas texas. Leave me alone it's funny lol. Dallas is a 24 year old male that's become a local legend of his own right due to the fact he has a weird eye.
If you want to learn more about Dallas or Honey or Salem or even ask a question to Salem, let me know!
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed Salem and his lore!
