Crimson
HE/HIM
Doll Height: 6’6
Job: Whatever he's paid to do - ultimately follows Reign above all.
Personality:
Magnificently confident and smug by nature, Crimson has an easy time making both enemies and friends everywhere he goes. He lacks any surface level rudeness, maintaining a frankly unwarranted and unearned level of calm charisma and charm. He's very easy to love and just as easy to despise.
He maintains a perplexing moral compass, seeing no issue with harming others for what he wants while subsequently refusing to tell lies, even if it would benefit him. He's incapable of taking most anything seriously, viewing himself as indestructible and overall perfect. He lives to bother others and make them uncomfortable, until they tell him to stop which he will, another example of his confusing thought process.
Crimson lacks sympathy and empathy for others for the most part, a benefit in his eyes as his work for Reign typically ends with others in pain, emotional or otherwise.
Crimson will on occasion decide to have a vested interest in the life of another person, preferring to spend as much of his time as is reasonable with them. He doesn't really know what happens or why and when he's finally bored he moves on as if nothing ever happened. This isn't necessarily unhealthy as he doesn't become obsessed but it can distract him from his current friendships.
Crimson, like many Envy buns, has some deep seated emotional issues that he generally keeps under wraps. Even if you were to get him to be vulnerable with you, you'd be quickly directed away from the topic by him. He very rarely, if ever, answers any personal questions about himself. While he refuses to lie he has no issues changing the subject to anything else, refusing to give answers.
Very few things seem to upset Crimson, as if he can't be bothered. It's probably something to do with his core personality trait being obnoxiously confident.
General Information:
- Hates citrus
- Loves strawberries
- Sometimes zones out. Don't touch him he will be upset :(

History:
Raised by a demon who cared little for him and his litter mates, Crimson reacted to this injustice with anger and spite. Deep down the treatment left him with a lingering jealousy of things that everyone had, so when he came to burrowgatory the anger and spite didn't leave for a very long time. Why did others have more than he did? Why do some of them speak of their demons so fondly despite not remembering much? Loving your litter mates? It all seemed so foreign. It felt like a joke played on him specifically.
Shortly after entering Succubun society Crimson met
Reign. Reign was a quiet bun, filled with a similar pain and the two bonded almost instantly through a shared desire to take what they thought they deserved. This wasn't exactly a fantastic relationship as it proved to be little more than a feedback loop for their anger, culminating in the hostile and very brutal take over of an already established business.
Currently Crimson works whatever job he feels he's getting paid enough for when Reign isn't ordering him around. Crimson has no issue being the 'loyal dog' of Reign despite what some might think, it's a cushy position that he enjoys greatly. He knows that Reign values him in his own way.
Nowadays he's much less bothered by his past, having mellowed out from the anger.
Currently he spends most of his time with Gale, being a general nuisance. Despite his attitude being less than helpful and often encouraging Gale to go back to poor behavior from his past, Crimson cares deeply for Gale and keeps him from doing anything too dangerous.
Relationships:
Gale: Crimson's current and longest running interest. Crimson spends a lot of time around him, dragging the quiet greed bun out on every kind of adventure under the sun. If you asked Crimson why he was so interested in Gale you'd get a distracting answer along the lines of how he wants to drag Gale out of his shell or he's just having fun. The truth, however, is much deeper than anything Crimson feels comfortable sharing.
Reign: Crimson's boss and confidant. They've been 'friends' since they both came to burrowgatory and have been inseparable since they met. Crimson viewed Reign as the only person he could trust for a very long time and has only recently started seeing people aren't so bad. Despite this, he trusts Reign almost implicitly to this day.
