Description

My friend and I were talking about some AU ideas and she created a selkie version of one of her characters and I made a rusalka Vince!

Here's another headshot!  That's a Grody Boy by ToothlessEgo

 Some stuff about the slime boy

- Restless water-dwelling undead who was drowned by his close friend and then-crush after causing a horrible accident. Must live out his designated time on earth as a rusalka unless his death is avenged, which would allow him to die in peace.

- He’s not always malevolent, but is VERY strongly driven to lure people (often through ethereal singing) into the depths where he can drown them.

- In the act of drowning another, his body becomes very slippery, so victims can’t use him as purchase to pull themselves back up to the surface.

- If his hair dries out completely, he’ll die. Using a comb, he can conjure water to keep himself wet when he leaves his body of water, and he’ll use this to climb trees and sing or, less often, to leave the waterside completely.

- Comes out of the water in the spring to bring moisture to the fields and help nurture the crops. Likewise In the summer months he’ll occasionally leave his water source to join other rusalki in the fields or to perch in trees. He’s more dangerous and creative in his hunting during these ‘wandering’ times.

- There is a degree to which he can change his appearance, from a normal Human or Yorshovian appearance to something much more monstrous. He defaults to the in-between, which is what this is.

- He’s linked with fertility, especially of crops. In fertile areas he has more control over his ability to shift his form. In barren lands he’ll find himself much more tired. 

- His favorite way to lure people into the water is to play like he’s drowning

- And he has abrasion scars on his wrists and throat from being tied up prior to and during his actual drowning
