Deimos

Deimos is a character played by Startacker.

Appearance
Deimos' appearance varies based upon who is being haunted at the time. Normally, Deimos' outfit consists of a large two-toned black jacket, deep red undershirt, jet black jeans, and gray boots. Tags and patches still hang from the jacket and jeans. Deimos has black hair and pale skin, although with a shadow covering the face.

Deimos always has a blindfold wrapped on, even when mimicking others. Blood sometimes appears underneath the bandaging, streaming down the face. Deimos' height also appears to change based upon who is being haunted, fitting into appearing more frightening. Nicknames for Deimos are extremely common, as Deimos hasn't mentioned that being an actual name.

Bio
Deimos is, for the most part, an unknown entity. Deimos often appears to haunt others, using their fears to talk back to them while also feeling those same fears. Seemingly Deimos is able to perceive the haunted target's fears and memories perfectly, without any prior knowledge to who they are. In one instance, Deimos replicated speech that The Source said during the Beyond act of Scrungecraft, while also replicating the sounds coming from the area the Source was in.

Deimos often works with Phobos to collect information from others' fears.

Personality
Comes across as confrontational and manipulative. The nature of Deimos' hauntings placing their target in uncomfortable positions gives off intentional decision making, but this is muddied in vague intentions and flowery, confusing wording.

Deimos has mentioned being acquaintances with Nova. The two's relationship is unknown, but Deimos, Phobos, and Nova have something to do with memories.

Haunted
The following characters have been haunted by Deimos in the past:


 * Cyd: Deimos appeared as a copy of Cyd with a blindfold, and mostly spoke of Cyd, eyes, and poison.
 * Lottie Moon: Deimos mostly spoke of being alone, rummaging in a sheriff's office. The conversation ended with Deimos describing Lottie appearing in front of themselves. Some mentions to voice boxes were made as well.
 * The Source: Deimos took upon the appearance of Scrungecraft's Star, vocally replicating the events that happened between Star, the Source, and Matto424. Deimos also spoke of vision, coiling, and tranquility.
 * ISO: Deimos immediately started haunting ISO after ISO threw an insult. Deimos primarily spoke about being forgotten, infinite time, and there not being enough bodies to span infinitely. This conversation lead into ISO's spark beginning to go out, requiring intervention from Bandaids to save ISO. Deimos has further haunted ISO, including re-awakening ISO's bounty hunter side.
 * Lichen: Also sparked after Lichen threw an insult towards Deimos. Deimos spoke of aggression, crowds, and charging a voice box. Deimos then welcomed Lichen to assist ISO while repeating ISO's insult towards Deimos.
 * Blair Rattle: Briefly appeared while speaking of being powerless and losing friends. Deimos notably appeared to be crying during this. When Blair pointed this out, Deimos responded with "Why aren't you?" before disappearing.
 * Mist: Briefly haunted by both Deimos and Phobos. Mist was showed a vision of Nebula regaining her physical form before being killed by Phobos. Uncharacteristically, Deimos mentioned not wanting to cause Mist any grief, as she already has enough work to do.

Trivia

 * The first concept for Deimos was a song Startacker wrote, It Was Always You.
 * Deimos is written to be difficult to discuss and gleam information from. This includes having a near pitch-black name in-game, no pronouns, and rarely mentioning Deimos' name.
