&&. BACKGROUND ;; 

akin to the mainv, millicent doe spent his early years under his maternal grandparents’ custody, before he ran away to his father where he was genuinely loved & began a steady progress in healing

he climbs the ladder to being a well-known radio star, a career he passionately speaks his heart out surrounded with beloved friends, family & fans for the longest time until the dawn of the great depression

it began with a tough battle of tug-of-war to keep his career thriving, but he ultimately finds himself on the losing side & met with the overwhelming reality of how many people exploiting his weakening position with the desire to see him fall hard. he did not take the failure well at all. although he tried to retain optimism to keep family & loyal fans from concerning themselves with him, the deeply embittered millicent knew he couldn’t keep up the farce forever & opted to shut himself away, only ever coming out to slip into a speakeasy for a bottle of booze or ten

his only ‘ friends ‘ since then were the strongest of whiskeys to keep the feelings of worthlessness at bay

he drank himself to death in 1933

&&. FACTS ;; 

he despises the form he was reborn in. a prancey deer ? stuck with a stupid radio-voice ? no pain-free way to rid himself of this sickening grin ? get that shit outta here. he doesn’t utilize his form as much as he should for this reason.

one of the few abilities he has is the manipulation of shadows- only to a small extent, but still enough to fetch items out of his reach. 

anger has become a norm in his coping methods; he doesn’t know how express himself in ways that aren’t aggressive or profane & tends to brush off attempts of other’s befriending him ... who needs friends when ur a complete & utter disappointment got booze amiright

this isn’t to say he is completely incapable of expressing sympathy / forming positive bonds though, he isn’t really a malicious man at heart & does retain bits of his gentlemanliness. efforts in trying to be nice often come off as very clumsy & awkward due to decades of being a vulgar alcoholic shut-in

his profanities are filtered out with beeps; does it stop him from cussing his heart out ? absolutely f------ not. 

works for husk the illusion demon, who may or may not have been an old friend of his from life

he detests radios. gift him one & he’ll smash it right in front of you without a second thought. 

in spite of everything he is still very much capable of delivering an impromptu speech from the very bottom of his heart if the moment truly calls for it 

physical contact is still a big no-no. he can & will bite, punch, disembowel you with his bare hands or all of the above if his boundaries are crossed. it’s better if you stopped acknowledging him altogether, actually. 

he still enjoys the thrill of hunting every now & then ( deer specifically ), it’s one of the very few activities that allows him to grasp some sense of emotion other than self-loathing & bitterness

did i mention his failures left him with a deep-rooted inferiority complex ? he’s not one to lick up praises easily at least he tries not to, BUT he’ll slowly ease up if you do often & mean it-- OR !! specifically for the manipulative types: pamper him with words chosen with the most careful precision & he’s your sucker 100/10
