#riddle's backstory is also Very loosely based on Dann but only in the doctor way

Twisted Wonderland Fear and Hunger Au

next up Riddle

For Riddles design he is wearing a simple ruffled shirt with a pocketwatch for some Heartsabul flair.

Moonscorched Riddle

The Decapitated

Riddle, The Decapitated, has anger issues and when he loses his head his anger blinds him to the violence that he is capable of. Taking a form resembling his mother he fears that his anger will transform him into her and his desire for control is nothing but a puppeteering of his mother's wishes.

His mother was his abuser and controlled his every movement now he fears losing control and straying from the rules given to him. His moonscorched form reflects a twisted version of his body transformed into that of his mothers, swinging his weaponized anger at those who defy the rules, his spine and head become a ball and chain-like weapon with axe heads on either side of the face. 

Growing up Riddle's mother had a life plan set up for Riddle to follow. She would do Anything to ensure that her son followed her perfect life plan. He would follow in her footsteps and become a successful doctor. Every action he took was strictly monitored.

She ensured her son got into the best available medical school and when he graduated he was enlisted to be a war doctor. He hadn't fought on the frontlines but the horrors of war permeated his experiences. 

The devastation and death followed him and when the war ended he found himself realizing that he had never wanted to be a doctor. He was always following what his mother wanted for him and never had his own ambitions. Going back home his mother didn't understand what he had gone through and wanted him to continue his pre-set life plan. 

Unable to bear the weight of his mothers controlling behavior and expectations he fled. 

Boarded the first train out of his town in search of a life of his own outside of his mother's expectations. 

The Decapitated is the first moonscorching to occur. Similarly to Abella's moonscorching, a choice must be made between Riddle and a secondary contestant. His moonscorching will occur on day 1 afternoon. 

Unable to free himself from his mother's influence The Decapitated can be found stalking around the sewers surrounded by the headless corpses of moonscorched villagers. The decapitated moves with an enraged fury seeing anything that approaches as a threat. 

The design of the decapitated is loosely inspired by riddles overblot. The decapitated wears a similar shirt to riddles standard shirt. Riddle's face is pulled into an expression of anger as it swings back and forth. A part of riddles moonscorching is inspired by tanaka's judgment . 

If the player targets the axe head the creature will continue to attack wildly but will be blinded. 

In an encounter there is a high chance of limb loss in battle. The battle mechanics would be most similar to a death mask with a decently high hp and a mind draining screech.
