Shapeshifter | Artificially Created | He/They | Asexual/Aromantic
The first shapeshifter and one of the biggest successes for [ERROR:FILE NOT FOUND], Project 1B50 was highly celebrated. And so the scientists tested it, each test worst than the last, oblivious to the fact that with each test, they were carving their most powerful experiment yet into a monster.

Having a rather simple look, Nothing is a faded black color, with his teeth and horns being an off-white. His wings and fur are slightly darker than his scales, and his ears are slightly lighter than his scales. He has four horns, two long ones above his ears and two smaller ones that come out from behind his ears. These horns thin down when they reach the middle, then take on a triangle-like shape at their points. He has a big ball of fur located at the end of his somewhat long tail, and smaller tufts of fur located on the backs of his wrists and ankles. When agitated, this fur can stand on end much like a cat when agitated. On the top of his left wrist, the code “1B50” brands him, this being his subject number when he was in the lab. However, one of the most striking things about Nothing is his pure white, glowing eyes. At least, they’re only white when Nothing is in control.
His build is a thin but powerful one. His head pointed, slimming down to a round snout at the end. His mouth is lined with several razor-sharp canines, much more capable of piercing through a dragon’s scales than normal dragon teeth. While his bite power is slightly above average, his jaws contain powerful muscles that can hold his jaws closed far better than a crocodiles, allowing him to keep a good grip on whatever he is biting down on. His neck is slightly thicker than a normal dragon’s, and is filled with strong muscles that can allow him to whip around whatever he is biting down, with the largest size him being able to handle is a young adult dragon. His claws are also very sharp and are curved, good for getting a grip and much better at slicing through stuff. He has a large chest to accommodate for his larger lungs, so he has a consistent oxygen supply. His arms and legs are thin and somewhat long, but have a surprising amount of power to them. His long tail assists with keeping him balanced on both the land and in the air, and can also assist with swimming. His scales are very small and softer than normal dragon scales, which helps grant him excellent maneuverability. He is very agile, and his leg length allows him to cover distance more easily.
While he normally lacks wings, when needed he can construct two long, feathered wings. While the feathers help muffle only a slight amount of noise, many of his main flight feathers are missing sections around their ends, making his flight noise around on the same level as a dragon’s. On his back there are quite a few scars, but they have almost fully faded away, so they’re only noticeable if you look hard enough.
personality and alters here
redo
Being a shapeshifter, Nothing can alter his form at any time he so desires. His body is able to quickly construct or deconstruct bone matter, tissue, muscles, blood vessels, extra nerves, and much more. The process is rather quick, and a full-on form shift can take Nothing an average of five seconds to complete. The new form is an almost perfect replica of what he is trying to copy, with a few subtle differences in facial and body shape to hint at his main form. The only thing that he cannot alter are his eyes, and is incapable of changing the color of his iris or pupils. The only time when his eyes do shift colors is when another personality takes over, and while each of them do have defined pupils, most of them aren’t black. He tries to fix this problem by crafting contacts from himself, but separating them from his body can take away from his form.
When a part of Nothing’s body is separated from him, depending on how much was removed/how important the limb was, it can affect his speed in shifting and leave him temporarily crippled. He usually uses his hair to craft stuff, as it is painless to separate from him and is easy to regrow, but loosing an actual arm can slow his shifting as his body works to regenerate that limb. He can regenerate cuts relatively quickly, but limbs can take several minutes. If he was decapitated or if his brain or heart was severely damaged, he would be unable to regenerate those before he would die, unless he was able to get into his regenerative tree form before his brain shut down.
One thing Nothing does to regenerate important parts of his body is to take on a specific tree form that rapidly accelerates his healing and can even reverse his aging. The tree is mainly black with white spirals and flecks that run through the wood. The leaves are a glossy black, and when angled right you can see glimpses of Nothing’s memory through the leaves. The memory is in shades of black because of the color of the leaves, and the larger the leaves are, the more significant the memory is. The leaves cannot be forcefully plucked from the tree easily, and trying to do so will disturb Nothing and provoke him to either attack you with the black thorns that surround the base of the tree, or he will shift out of the tree form to attack you personally if disturbed enough.
While in his tree form, Nothing is put into a deep slumber. The tree draws nutrients from the ground, and then uses those nutrients to repair any wounds Nothing may have at a much faster and more complete process, or begin to reverse his age if his body is relatively undamaged. The tree focuses on healing the wounds before reversing his age, but once the reversal process does begin, the tree begins to deconstruct old tissue and body matter and replace it with fresh, new matter. This is the only time when his brain is able to be rebuilt, and neurons can be replaced and connected. While this happens, his memory is stored in the leaves, hence why memories can be viewed on them. If Nothing is forced to shift out of his tree form while this is happening, the rest of the brain tissue that was being worked on is quickly constructed, which can leave to slower response times as the rebuilding was rushed and temporarily meant to sustain him until the threat is dealt with, and then he can go back into his tree form to properly finish that rebuilding. If a leaf was able to be removed before Nothing can stop the threat, Nothing looses that memory unless he is able to get the leaf back in a day, but if not the leaf withers and crumpled to ash, and Nothing has permanently lost that memory.
Nothing has also developed a high tolerance to pain. Even while bearing heavy injuries, he won’t be slowed down much, allowing him to be a rather relentless fighter. His fight is also fueled by his absurdly high stamina, which allows him to constantly take on injuries and shift nonstop for over an hour. He was also vigorously trained in several complex fighting techniques, and has learned how to read an opponent while fighting to predict and counter their moves. While all of this is great, some consider it a waste because of this potential hardly having been utilized, and all the mental trauma he took on to have these abilities. Enduring such severe abuse and not having it treated for most of his life really put a large strain on his mental health and made these issues much worse than they could’ve been.
s
- He/They pronouns. Used to use they/them only, but after disguising as a male SkyWing for some time and meeting CloudStriker, they have become more comfortable with the “he/him” pronoun
- CANT STAND the sight of blood/guts/gore. If it’s bad enough, these can trigger flashbacks. Visible scars in certain areas on specific individuals can also trigger flashbacks
- If the trigger is bad enough, he can hallucinate and potentially be sent into a panic attack
- They take pills and have received therapy for their mental issues, but it doesn’t mean that they’re cured of them
- Probably Seaviper’s most revamped character. Started out as empty shapeshifter who talks edgily, then gained age-reversing powers and regenerative abilities when a tree, then gained four additional personalities and became more edgy, gained another personality that was crazy and edgy, got purged and became broken boi, and then got revamped to be broken boi, but better and recovering
- When I draw him, one of the things I forget to add most often is the fur tufts on his wrists and ankles. Oh, when will I learn!
Old eww (cursed)
