~ Vermin


Vermin, Full name being Amaris Arche Romeo, is a 14 year old government test subject who murdered his foster father and his grandmother in great sadistic fashion. After claiming the life of his dad with cyanide slipped into his food, he ran away into the forest in front of his suburban residence, claiming the lives of 9 more search team officers with canned hydrogen sulfide. He wears a black gas mask as to not breathe in the lethal chemicals he creates and to keep his identity sealed when in public forests.

The name Vermin comes from having both distinguishing features of a rodent and his ability to spread severe illness just from prolonged eye contact.

Origin[]

Amaris (Born on October 6th, 1994 in New Jersey, USA) was a baby born into the government's hands, used as a subject to experiment newly developed steroids on. Only a 2 day old newborn, Amaris was taken from his biological mother’s hands by Child Protective Service agents. He was transferred to Washington in hopes of testing some injections on him. The government thought about the benefits of the experiment once proved successful, Maybe even teaching the baby to be a government weapon. Soon, An injection by the name of Muculus-01 would prove to be a success once the now 4 month old baby's ears slowly merged into large mice ears. Multiple lab experiments showed that the baby behaved normally, but it was clear that he obtained some interesting abilities. He reacted to vibrations that are not able to be felt by humans, He could see perfectly fine when placed in a dark room, and his hair grew quicker than the average baby. He had a head full of curly jet black hair by the time he was 1. His ears perfectly blended in with his hair and he was just starting to grow a tail 1 year and 4 months in being raised by government officials. It was 2 years later that officials would turn up to be disappointed with Amaris’ analytic results. It was pretty clear that he wasn’t going to be a weapon anytime soon. Nonetheless, They offered the child a good education and ensured he knew how to speak both Spanish and German.

After 5 years in the government's care, he was taken in by a volunteering family of 3 as a foster kid. He lived a happy childhood, had a good education, and some good friends that stuck to his side. Many years passed and it all made his mental health deteriorate over time. He was raped in his sleep by his grandmother in 4th grade, he felt disgusted with both himself and his grandma. He won’t hesitate to insult her, no matter how hard she’s laughing about his violent and “childish” behavior. He began self harming in 5th grade, leading his foster mother to bang his head on his bed’s wooden headboard multiple times out of anger once she found out. She yelled at him, calling him a freak, lunatic, and an ungrateful child. Being mentally ill or even showing symptoms of it was shunned in the family. All Amaris could really do was cry himself to sleep or live by a message the entire family seemed to go by. “Suck it up, You’re really letting that bring you down? Everybody will think of you as weak.” As many people might see this as traumatizing, It was merely shut away from his memory. Even if he did remember it, It wouldn’t have any effect on him since he believes it wasn’t that serious.

It was the week before the first day of 8th grade. Amaris spiraled into a mental breakdown influenced by his bipolar disorder. It was 11:53, He was supposed to be sleeping. Yet he cried. He felt dreadful the entire day, he couldn’t talk to his parents about his feelings in fear it would be in vain. After he was done sobbing, he stared ahead at the closet in front of his bed. All he could think about was the pleasure of seeing his grandmother’s life leave her eyes. He admitted to himself that he wanted to murder her, but first he had to get revenge on his father. Amaris had an old fashioned family, they hated women in power, gay people and ethnicities with cultures they don't agree with. This ideal was rooted throughout the entire family, yet the idea made Amaris nauseous. His solution was to eradicate the main cause of the ideal, his father.

Amaris spent the whole day rotting in his dark room, hidden away from any and all light. He took some powdered cyanide and sprinkled it across the rice that would soon be dinner earlier in the day. The only thing he had to do was run away from the soon to be crime-scene and he did just that. He used one of his many abilities to its advantage, Noise cancellation to sneak out the house with no audible traces of him ever leaving and Super Speed to quickly run into the deepest parts of the forest.

He waited patiently behind a tree with a thick trunk, rushing to create a toxic concoction in case of emergency. He was creating hydrogen sulfide, covering his face with the remnants of his hoodie’s thick fabric to protect him from inhaling the lethal fumes. It would be difficult for a normal human to make such a chemical in complete darkness, but Amaris had his night vision and the moonlight to work with. It was 30 minutes later that he began hearing the blaring of police sirens and the piercing wails of an ambulance. Struck by the sudden noise, Amaris covered his ears as much as he could as he was highly sensitive to loud noises, but he knew he had to pay more attention to the police’s current location.

10 minutes passed and the shifting of red and blue lights shined throughout most of the forest. The echoes of walkie talkies filled the silence of the neighborhood. Amaris’ eyes welled up with tears as he realized the horrible act he had done. “I’m gonna be killed, I’m gonna be shot and killed.” rang throughout Amaris’ head. All he could think about was if the chemical didn’t work and how he'd end up being held at gunpoint. The walkie talkies became louder and more dispersed, as if a group of officers entered the forest in different directions. The scattered lighting of flashlights beamed on multiple trees, it was about time to shake the can and distract them. Pulling a lighter under the spray can of hydrogen sulfide, the can became bloated, as if it was ready to blow in a mere 5 seconds.

Amaris chucked the can with great force in the opposite direction and stayed quiet, waiting for the officers to notice and go near it. The can let out a long and loud hiss as it slowly released its poison, much like a rattlesnake, so it didn't take long for the search team to notice. 3 officers ran up to it, demanding the identity of the person who threw it. It was only a matter of time that the horrific scent caught up to their noses. “Did one of you fart…?” All 9 officers sniffed hard at the air, letting the lethal chemical take over even more. Amaris was sweating in fear, holding the collar of his hoodie up to his nose. It was only an hour later that he started hearing the cops choking, stumbling around trying to find somewhere to puke, and even bodies thudding onto the forest floor. Finishing the job, Amaris quickly ripped the walkie talkies off of the fallen officers and ate holes into their torsos, watching the life leave their eyes as they plead for repentance one last time. One of the officers gave Amaris the name of “Vermin” as a form of insult before he died. Vermin watched the pile of corpses as they lifelessly lay on dirt and grass. His mouth and jaw was completely bloody, blood clots stuck to his face as he ravaged the insides of 9 men. Wiping it off with his sleeve, Vermin decided to flee the state of New Jersey, He finally settled in Indiana after 3 months of escaping the public and hiding in the alleyways of large cities.

The Future.[]

In the year 2022, Vermin would be a 27 year old government runaway who now lives in his employer's home after many years of hiding. After a long mental breakdown at age 17, He ran back to New Jersey to complete his goal. He brutally tortured and murdered his helpless grandmother in her own home by beating her until she showed no signs of waking up. A few years later, He would have a job as a bartender, He'll usually have fights emerge in the club he works at so he has to break out the canned laughing gas and detain people who start the sudden smack-downs. His manager is unknown, but Vermin does show subtle signs of affection around him. It's not rare for Vermin's boss to assign people for him to assassinate. Vermin is currently 6'1" and makes sure to cover his distinguishing features with caps, contacts and sweatpants. He usually wears black surgical masks to avoid detection/recognition from his face shape alone. To soothe his urge of killing other people, He'll stare at his manager as a form of comfort. Just the sight of him in his usual talkative attitude brings Vermin relief. Sometimes, he'll even unknowingly stalk him.

Appearance[]

Vermin is depicted as a 5'0" Afro Hispanic teenager with dark under eyes, blue-purple irises, curly jet black hair put into a tiny pigtail, a pink rat tail growing from his coccyx and large mouse ears that accompany his hair styles. He has a skinny but sturdy physique, Weighing in at 107 lbs. His left thigh has multiple healed self inflicted scars, his left foot equally having a long singular cut on its sole. His jawline is softly structured, toward his adulthood however, it visibly becomes more chiseled.

He rarely wears anything other than a black hoodie and navy blue/purple cargo pants. He is never seen wearing something tight on his skin as it would often end up in allergic reactions to the fabric. His footwear only consists of black chunky military boots.

He always has a belt and thigh garter varying of different lethal chemicals hidden inside some spray cans. Each belt carries around 3-5 spray cans. Last but not least, he wears brown leather gloves to protect his skin when creating his concoctions.

Personality[]

Personality Type: INTP-T

Mental Disorders: Depression, Social Anxiety (Severe), Bipolar disorder, Autism

Vermin is a soft spoken, anti social, timid, and rarely aggressive being. He uses music as a way to remove himself from reality during the times he feels emotionally hurt. Though he may seem standoffish at first, his close friends can agree that he's dirty-minded, snarky and genuinely hilarious, describing him as "any other teenage guy who experiences hormones." But because he's so quiet, it results to him being a naturally sleepy person, taking naps when he has no one else to talk to. Speaking of Vermin's rarely aggressive tendencies, He really only behaves sadistic when he knows he's dealing with someone considered as malicious. He will not hesitate to speak harshly and behave violently toward the malevolent.

It's speculated that the Hyper sexuality he often experiences later on in life could be tied to his Depression or Bipolar disorder, both hereditary mental illnesses inherited from his biological mother.

During his mental breakdowns, he'll start isolating himself from others, in an untouched part of the forest. If he's comfortable with someone, his chatty behavior will die down into a quiet and lifeless demeanor, where he'll believe nobody wants to listen to him. He'll use stolen razor blades to self harm, sometimes attempting to commit suicide. The attempts, fortunately, never work.

Likes & Dislikes[]

Likes: Being Alone, Cherry Jelly, Twizzlers, Interacting with Ghosts, Concepts of the Afterlife, Rice cakes, Cats, People he considers as father figures, Tall people, Motorcycles, Video games, Music such as Heavy metal, Nu metal, Reggaeton, Phonk, and Alternative metal/rock. He can tolerate pop music.

Dislikes: Math, Gun fanatics, Elderly people, Loud people, Board games, His foster family

Phobias[]

Vermin's main phobia is Hoplophobia, Fear of Firearms. Holding a Gun and accidentally shooting himself or someone else is possibly his worst nightmare, especially with the unnecessary amount of blood and brains being splattered around the entire area. Because of this phobia, he tends to stay away from people with a visible gun holster on them, people/creepypastas who use firearms to kill their victims, and those who adore the idea of owning a gun.

He also has a fear of Loud noises, Public speech, and Being bit by dogs. Not because the bite will hurt, but because he has an intense allergy to canine teeth. Just the slight graze of a dog's teeth and he would become so severely itchy that he'd fall to his knees and start crying; scratching his entire body (Usually the neck, arm, and inner thigh areas) like a maniac. Reactions include skin writing, hives, and red marks on the skin.

Abilities/Skills[]

His main power is the ability to induce severe illness with prolonged eye contact. It's estimated that it might take about 1 minute to feel symptoms. Symptoms may include feeling lightheaded, dizziness, fainting, constant vomiting, seizures, and skin rashes. Of course, the symptoms may vary if Vermin wishes to relax (minor) or manually dilate his eyes (stronger, more severe symptoms). The diseases he can transfer are varied, but are mostly rodent borne illnesses; Salmonella, Tularemia, Bubonic Plague, etc...

Strengths - Weaknesses[]

Because of his small size and petite figure, He has no problem escaping the grasp of victims bigger than him. His ears are naturally able to pick up the slightest of disturbances in the air/terrain, being able to detect something as small as footsteps to events like earthquakes and tsunamis. Thanks to his speed and ability to contort his body, He can put off his enemy by running out of their field of vision and hiding himself into a small space. His agility gives him major advantages, as well as people who he finds attractive. If he finds you hot, then that's not a good thing. He has a habit of silently impressing those people with his strength and he almost always manages to do so. However, none of those abilities can compare to his inherited power of transferring illness via eye contact. Vermin cannot blink during this process or else it will ruin the entire transfer.

His weaknesses however just consist of his strengths if they were to fail. His small size and lack of muscle mass makes him an easily detain-able target. He doesn't have a lot of energy stored in him either, So he can't run as much as he'd like. Bright lights are his main weakness as he has visual vertigo. He'll stumble around almost drunkenly until he gets adjusted to the light. His allergic reactions occur at random which is a major risk for him. He also relies on his depraved looks to seem "Intimidating." Tall people are his ultimate weakness for self explanatory reasons. His physical strength is extremely weak so he has to rely on explosive cans of laughing gas to detain his victim.

Signs of his Presence[]

Vermin is always seen hanging around large forests with nature trails.

Lastly, If you ever hear footsteps behind you, It's best to accept your fate and to not look back.

(If you overreact to his signs, you're just feeding into his pleasure of teasing you and plans on killing you sooner.)
