Name: Tenta
Age: vaguely eleven [updated Nov 2015]
Birthday: Halloween
Gender: dgaf
Category: Student
Class: Elementary
Grade: 4
Appearance Description: A tiny scrap of black hole wrapped in a bubble of eldritch cuteness is the most consistent description of this kid. They are vaguely humanoid, and feel vaguely human (if there's no discernible or actual bones), with a large, round, vaguely jack-o-lantern-esque face ringed with flexible black fangs and enormous eyes that are the endless, soul-sucking black of a black hole. Because that is literally what is inside them. Their mouth is a jagged tear of indestructible, royal blue skin, lined with literally uncountable needle teeth (the number changes without reason or warning). Behind that is the same pit of empty that lurks in their eyes. Also, they only inhale, never exhale, and gradually decrease the air pressure of whatever room they're in.
So. Under three and a quarter feet from tentacle-tip to the top of their head - oh right, yeah, they have tentacles instead of legs. Usually five. They have been potentially spotted with four. These tentacles are a little less than half of their total height, and smooth and featureless. Usually. You never really know with eldritch creepers. They appear to only have two arms, and hands with roughly normal finger distributions, but they can also have as many fingers as they want. And since they're black hole inside, and don't have bones, well, joints aren't really a thing. They can bend their arms (and everything else) however they like without pain or discomfort.
Most of their volume is in their head-tentacles, especially since everything below their head is scrawny little wisp-child. Like their teeth, it's never clear exactly how many tentacles there are, and the poofy appendages are normally gathered up into a giant marshmallow-y ponytail. Those tentacles are also the only outward sign that there is literal star in their background, as opposed to permanent black hole; they glow like a red dwarf star, and put out just enough heat to be pleasant to the touch (unless you are intolerant to heat, in which case y'might want to keep your fingers off. think warm-hot bath water).
Like many things involved in planetary life, clothing is extremely strange to this child. Strange and AMAZING even if they can't wear most because two tentacles doesn't work for walking and sticking multiple tentacles in one fabric tube is weird and chafe-y. So they wear dresses and those are fun. And scrunchie things for their head tentacles. In crazy colours and patterns.
Personality Description: It's hard to be scared of things or learn wary respect when you are literally a black hole inside. Or when your skin is irrationally indestructible. This kid will climb on anything, talk to anyone, and eat both. Well. They are learning that it is inappropriate to eat live things, and it's not like they need to. Technically they don't need food of any sort to survive, but it is actually good for them? Some day they will turn into a scrap of eldritch bubble around a star instead of a black hole.
Whether or not that marks maturity (or death) is debateable. Black holes don't have a lot of offspring, and they definitely don't let them go wandering around in public much.
Powers: Eldritch Black Hole
Whether reality not really applying to this kid is the fault of being eldritch or of being a black hole, the fact is that this kid is odd. Their physical description is prone to variation, they don't exhale, and their mouth can kind of literally lift off the top of their head.
They can also eat anything without issue, being a black hole, and gradually accumulates fuel for their star-ness. They have adapted to resisting the eternal pull of their innards, and have developed impenetrable, impervious skin. They can cut through most substances with their face - the needle teeth are for gripping, not for cutting.
Given that there is some star fire in their head tentacles, it is somewhere between possible and probable that either eating too much or dying will turn them into a live star instead of a black hole.
Biography: Some eldritch... thing... apparently thought it would be a good idea to hook up with a black hole. This child is the result. When this happened, exactly, is unclear. Black holes... kind of mess with time.
This child is a recent arrival to Manta Carlos but is settling in quickly. Bonding over food is easy. Or really anything.
