Ecto Terase Background

Hey! So now that we've talked to the guy, let's check out his backstory! I, being the Keeper of Characters, knows his like the back of my hand!
Ehem.

Ecto Terase was born in a warren hidden in the hills of -censored province's name- to an only mother with his twelve brothers and sisters. He was born with ugly, pink skin and hair that grew too fast. His eyes, in contrast to all the eyes of his siblings, mother, and everyone else in the warren, whose eyes were brilliant blue, his were a dull shade of grey. If not for all of this, he would've been considered attractive to his people, men and women alike. At the age of thirteen, a disease spread throughout the rest of the land. Or so it was said by a strange foreign man who showed up to the warren one day. The man was a nice person, and was especially fond of Ecto. It was like he saw past his hideous features. He convinced everyone of this and made them gather all the children to check if they had the disease. Unexpectedly, the man pointed at him with his jagged finger and hollered that he was a carrier of the disease and commanded the others that they apprehend him and leave him in the mountains, for he had all the symptoms.

They threw him out and left him to starve. He cried out for many days, hiding in the thistles and weeds. He was angry and betrayed, but yet... He felt like is made sense. It's only logical that they throw him out. He did after all have all the symptoms. Maybe he did have the disease. One day, a lovely woman who greatly resembled his mother found him. She invited him to live with her. She cared for him, and asked him what happened. In a bitter tone, he described in detail what they did to him, crying while doing so. The lady, who he soon found out was a witch, gave him 'medicine' so he could take revenge on them. Still angry with his people, he took it, and it changed him into a blue-haired tentacle monster, still keeping his pink skin and grey eyes much to his dismay. She told him that he transformed into a beast using the malice he had for his family and the man who tricked him. He became enraged, which made his insides burn and scared his flesh. It seemed that whenever he felt anything like anger or remorse, it showed on his skin. She instructed him to go back to the place he grew up in. Reluctantly, he did so.

When he returned, he was shocked to find that everyone was pockmarked, pale, as thin as a bone, and on the verge of death. All, except the man who threw him out. He was a sorcerer, and the lady who made him a monster was his wife. He and his wife was travelling the country, spreading the disease to wipe out all with unjust ways. They would test this by gaining the trust of the people of the town or village and accuse two of them, one being an ugly, poor one and the other rich and attractive. If the crowd would only throw out the poor one, they'd die. If they throw out both, they suffer the disease, but get healed afterwards. The correct approach, for them at least, was to keep the both of them and try curing them. His wife tested the ones thrown out, making them drink an elixir that made you a beast, the more malice and bitterness you had in your heart for throwing you out, the more monstrous you became. If you became so monstrous with rage and hate, she'd butcher you and leave your remains on a road.

Ecto was a special exception. The man favoured him, seeing without even testing that his warren was unjust in their judgement. He made his wife test him with the elixir. He was the first to not turn out as a complete atrocity.

Ecto was utterly shocked by this. He thought this meant that he could stay with the man and his wife.

But... no.

They wouldn't let him. They said that they didn't need him. That he'd get in the way of their 'mission'. So they left him in the ruins of his old home, more a freak than he already was. Everyone slowly faded away. He was alone now.

Then Xing entered his warren, saying she was searching for memories worth remembering. They became good friends. She brought him outside once, and they found there Cecil, the genderless being in the form of a white child. Cecil brought them to their higher up, the Admin.

The Admin promised him normality, and made him work for her. He was the creator of every character's name and came up with their families. His emotions started wearing thin, and he began speaking monotonously. He never made friends with anyone else other than Xing.

AAAAND, THE REST IS HISTORY!
