“Nox” | He/Him | King of paradise
Fallen god of corruption & death
He’s here, he’s back, he’s got a new updated ref. Gave some minor changes (little spikes yippee!! Oh yeah and the uh.. the goop. That’s been a thing for a while, just never made proper art of that)
Due to an incident regarding Solstice shortly after the final battle, Nox lost his arms. Over time the raw corruption that took over his body rebuilt them, turning them to raw power with the power to overload a shape almost instantly.
It takes focus to keep his arms the proper shape, otherwise they’re gooey tendrils, or simply nonexistent. He can also purposefully make them other shapes if he so desires. Occasionally he’ll swap his hands from segmented to all together, just for “variety”
[goopy arm example below]
To those who are new, hello, this is Nox, one of my oldest jsab ocs (though not older than Cylix)
Nox is my stand in for the moon in “Just Shapes and Beats” and the source of corruption for my au. He was married to the sun, Solstice, who was the goddess of purity & life. The two thrived before the creation of paradise, however once everything was created, he soon grew jealous of how much their citizens loved solstice, but disliked him.
His jealousy and hatred became the corruption, a toxic pink substance that overtook his body and caused anything he came in contact with to also suffer from this corruption.
Solstice disliked this corruption, and though Nox swore it was fine, Solstice believed otherwise, banishing these tainted shapes. Nox’s condition worsened and he soon lashed out. Eventually a war broke out. Solstice strived to eradicate the corrupt shapes while Nox wanted them to be able to exist and thrive. In the end, Nox and the corrupt shapes lost.
The king had fallen, and on a one on one fight with Solstice, Equinox lost everything. In a desperate attempt to avoid casualties in the future, Solstice severed the arms of her once beloved husband. She knew he would come back eventually, but she would do what she could to prevent him from harming others.
Nox seemingly vanished for centuries, most shapes assumed he was dead, Solstice knew better, but would never speak up in fear of scaring her subjects. It wasn’t until a small grey plant appeared that Nox would make his move..
