Description

This is my OC Eidrich. He looks a lot more different here than when I first doodled him here [link] or maybe that's just because it's a different style? Anyways, I need to think about this character.

He's a sort of odd jobs person, he goes from town to town and completes peoples' requests. These requests can range from finding a lost cat to making certain unwanted people "disappear". But he'll only take up requests when he needs to (when he needs money desperately) Otherwise, he prefers to just sit at home and laze around. Some of his unproductive pastimes include: sleeping, staring at the ceiling, sleeping and eating.

As for what's behind the eye patch....I haven't really figured that out yet I was just too lazy to draw the other eye
But I do have some ideas..sort of...like..uh...here:

"No, no, no!" The woman cried as she pored over sheets laid across the small table. The word Eviction was stamped in red amongst the fineprint. She leafed through the papers for a while until, seeming defeated, she sighed and laid her head in her hands.

Suddenly, the door to the dingy apartment burst open and a little boy with shocking white hair scurried into the room calling "Ma! Ma!" The boy placed more sheets upon the table, but instead of miniscule writing, they were scribbled with colorful rainbows, icecream, and the woman herself.

"Trevor's mom gave me some paper and she said my drawings were really good! And look Ma- I drew you too! Trevor said-"The boy stopped his happy chatter once he caught the frustrated and bitter look on his mother's face

"Eidrich, didn't I ask you to finish cleaning the kitchen for me this morning?"

"O-oh." The boy stuttered, suddenly wary. "I forgot, Ma. See, Trevor asked me-" but once again, the boy was cut short as his mother swelled with anger.

"I work hard all day, Eidrich. ALL DAY! And everyday, I have to come home to this!" She cried, gesturing around at the dirty room. "All I ask is a bit of help. I clothe you and feed you. Do you know what I wish I could be doing with that money instead?!"

The small boy now looked on the verge of tears. "I'm sorry, Ma" he mumbled. But his mother merely slumped back against the table, saying "The people upstairs. They're going to take our house soon. I don't have enough money Eidrich, I can't pay them" and seeming to forget he was there, she started to cry.

Not knowing what to do, the boy scrambled up to his mother saying "Don't cry, Ma. Don't cry" and when his mother did not respond, he seemed to panic and cried "Don't worry, Ma! I know where we can get money, I can get it!" With that he dashed from the room and did not return until the next morning.

The woman was in the kitchen when she heard the voice calling "Ma? Ma?"
The voice was weak and fragile, not at all like her son. The voice called out once more and a few seconds later, she felt a warm and sticky hand press what felt like a wad of crumpled bills into her hand. She turned round to face her son, who had a hand covering his face and a dirty scarf tied around his head. She looked down at the money he had pressed into her hands. "Where did you get this?!" she demanded

"There's a man down the street a couple of blocks. He was always asking people for stuff, you know, to sell." The boy smiled, but did not remove his hand from his face.

"And what did you sell, Eidrich?" The mother asked warily.

"Nothing important, Ma" The boy lowered his hand, and ignoring the gasp from his mother at the bloodstained scarf, he grinned and said "I had two of them, see, so it was okay to sell one." But when his mother continued to cry out about his lost eye, he held her hands and said "It's okay, Ma. I had to, you were crying."

He calls himself a Deviator, but he's really just a lazy bum.
