sooooooo my first boy here!
name - Atol Cosmo

pronouns - he/him
age - 16
species - zodiac (Gemini) and God of Death, previously human
personality - a depressed tired childish boy, he is rude and often insults others sometimes even those he likes. he is quite annoying and doesn't respect others much but there are moments where he is nice and actually pleasant to be around.
backstory tl;dr - he was raised in a cult and when he was 10 his vitiligo started to develop; the cult thought it was a curse and started to avoid him except two kids who became his friends and often shared plans of escape. one night during a sermon a fire broke out and burned down the Church which killed his brother and everyone in the cult blamed Atol for the fire; branding him as a harbinger of death and that he somehow caused the fire. his father shot him in the neck but the original God, Nostre, made him into a zodiac and the God of death. he killed the cult as revenge but was punished for it by the original God by taking away his ability to kill.
still don't have fully written lore on his scars as everything is still very much a WIP but basically the scar on his eye and the hole in his chest is caused by Zilla, the caretaker of the Zodiacs, they were angry at him for his bad behavior so they scratched his eye and they also thought he didn't deserve a heart because he's a "Heartless being" so they took that.

In the ghost town of Ink, Missouri hidden between the rolling hills and shadows lives a hidden cult called The Whispering Drift and a young boy named Atol Crowe. His upbringing was filled with weird rituals, fear, and control.
The cult believed that long hair ward away misfortune and curses and if they were to cut it they'd bring downfall on themselves and their family so Atol was forced to keep his hair long and let it cascade down his back no matter how much he hated it and couldn't take care of it properly.
The cult also believed in odd dietary rules such as eating mostly meat or else the Gods would be displeased and they'd be punished but they also believed that if you weren't to keep a certain weight that'd also displease the Gods, people had to stay thin or else they'd be punished.
Atol struggled dearly with his weight, often being underweight and sick. He was tired, lonely, and angry but he couldn't do anything about it. He didn't believe a word the leader said yet he had to listen or else he risked being harmed.
One day around his 10th birthday patches of milky white started littering his originally brown skin, vitiligo was showing up on him and it made his life worse because now he was being judged for a simple condition that he had no control over. he did nothing wrong yet he was viewed as different, a curse.
The cult thought it was a sign that he was a curse and started to avoid him except for two kids, Aither and Ciel, who were also fed up with the whole being in a cult thing. Ciel was annoying but nice while Aither was a little goofball.
They often shared ideas of escaping and finding a way out of this horrible life they were living. Atol's want to escape was stronger than the others and he was determined that one day he would be free.
Yet he still felt utterly alone, the isolation he felt was suffocating, and even with the two friends that he kept close, he just couldn't shake the feeling.
One night during a sermon, the Church lit ablaze and Amado was left inside amidst the chaos of the crackling fire and terrified screams. No one realized until it was too late though and the Church caved in. Amado was gone.
After the fire died down everyone started pointing fingers at Atol; blaming him for the fire and branding him as a harbinger of death and doom, that he somehow conjured the fire that took the Church and his brother.
Atol's father, blinded by anger and hatred for his son, took Atol's life. he grabbed him by the hair and aimed a gun at the teen's neck. Atol braced himself, inhaling what would be his final breath as a loud bang and deafening silence fell over them like a blanket.
The cult believed the only way for someone to be transported into the afterlife was being burned but Atol didn't get that, he was deemed unworthy due to being 'cursed' so instead the river became his final resting place, the cold water taking his body.
The stars had a different plan for the young boy though; Nostre, the original God was saddened by his end and decided that he should be the Zodiac Gemini along with Amado; Atol became the God of Death and Amado the God of Life.
Atol wanted revenge though and so he got it; he descended down to Earth and wiped out every member of the cult except for Ciel and Aither, the only two he saw as worthy of life. This however angered Nostre so they took away his ability to kill so now he can only take souls.
