#decided to get rid of the plague mask from my previous doodle

[voiceofthebroken]

surprise! here's Paranoid at last since the wheel had spoken a while ago :3 (apologies for the wait)

Hunted // Cheated // Opportunist // Broken // Paranoid

(additional notes and headcanons under the cut)

the eye on Paranoid's hood are essentially holes in the fabric. the iris in the main design has static over it

in the Wraith, there's a black mist/fog surrounding Paranoid and the fabric's iris

in the Apotheosis, the eye on the cloak is closed

Paranoid wears a sort of dreamcatcher necklace, with the feathers being from the Long Quiet

there are cracks over Paranoid's right eye like how the Nightmare and Moment of Clarity's mask has cracks, which makes it so they can't open that eye. they cover it to the best of their ability using their cloak's hood

Paranoid not having a mouth is inspired by "I have no mouth and I must scream"

taking the metaphor of "color draining from one's face" literally, Paranoid's color has been drained to white while the rest of the color is faded

the more "out of mind" they are, the darker their eyes become. when they seem unhinged, they gain a mouth which sort of rips from their skin

they/them, rarely he for Paranoid :3

Paranoid has heavy eyebags from lack of sleep due to a fear of sleep paralysis after what happened in the events of the Nightmare as sleep paralysis has a similar effect to the organs shutting down

since it isn't really visible, Paranoid has shoulder length hair with the front parts being somewhat longer
