After causing trouble in Higsi since the summer, Aloysius has finally found peace in death. Plotline concluded in this log.

Background

Aloysius Thaxton was born to a pair of religious zealots in the deep South, and there he was subjected to all that such an upbringing entails. Fearsome, dogmatic instruction; grueling punishments. As he grew into his preteen years a then undiagnosed condition (ADHD) on his behalf was considered to be devil's work, for the active and energetic boy was unable to settle and focus for long. The thought was cultivated: bring in the local priest and exorcise the disruptive demon from the boy.

That went over perfectly well.

The attempt to draw the nonexistent fiend from the boy resulted in a gateway being opened to feed such a soul INTO his body, and things went sideways from there.

As he continued to grow, Aloysius exhibited a worsening of the aforementioned flippant behavior ALONG with a penchant for destruction of property, mischief, and violence.

As the age of seventeen the boy was cast out of his family, inwardly dreading the prospect and — thanks to the hijacking spirit — reveling in it.

Aloysius eventually took to the rails, crossing the band of steel that interspersed America.. eventually taking him to Higsi. In a plea for help, and in-turn an unabashed campaign of destruction… he made his presence known with acts of vandalism and in some cases, violence.

In December of 1942, after months of physical torment, Aloysius's body was discovered in the woodlands. It appeared that the boy couldn't take it anymore and took drastic measures to find his peace. With traces of the demon declared gone, he was buried.

Description

Aloysius reaches a height of about 5'10", but possesses nowhere near the amount of muscle that he should have at his age. To look at him is to see a young man who is haggard, troubled and of a much older appearance than his eighteen years. Large eyes are of a pale, washed-out blue coloration… these can alternatively look troubled and plaintive one moment, and utterly demented the next. His Caucasian features are sallow and drawn, due to poor nutrition, lack of sleep and little care. All of the above are the least of his problems.

Clothing is what one would expect of a transient who has ridden the rails for nearly a year: ragged denims, a ruin of a button-down mens' shirt, derelict shoes. All of the above articles are covered in filth, ranging from dirt, to blood, to vomit.

He is of a skittish nature, and the scent of foulness clings to him.

RP Hooks

Vandalism - In a marked desire for attention, this is Aloysius' cry for help. Too bad it's a destructive pain in the ass, with the demonic spirit's backing behind it all. The level of destruction is entirely your (the player's) discretion. Want Al to come eff sh*t up at your homestead? Business? Any other ol' random location? Let's talk ingame!

Help Me - As noted, this destruction is a cry for help. Aloysius has moments of lucidity in which he will 'appear' and apologize, beg… any hesitant kindness shown to him will release the demon. Are you of a religious bearing? This kid needs help evicting his guest!

Possession (Anti)-Boons - When caught up in the influence of the invading spirit, Aloysius becomes violent, vulgar and strong. His strength temporarily amplifies and he proceeds to demolish that which is around him. (With damage being done to his own body in the process.)
When he is struck or otherwise made to feel pain, this nasty side rises up and he — his essential self — cannot control it. He is completely aware of what he is doing, even when the malevolent spirit is controlling him.
