The Bad - Equius Zahhak | Homestuck

Character Name: Equius Zahhak
Character Blood Type: Darkblood
Character Role: Architect

What CR you would like to develop for this event: Equius is always up for new people to be mortified by his common idiocy. He had kind of a rough month last month after a vision involving buckets, and he spent most of the month fabricating items in sullen silence. So he's very open to contact new and old.
Open/Closed to New CR this event: Always open
What CR you want to avoid this event: Romantic, because that would be weird with him.

Timeline/Event Ideas:
The Evil
Equius is going to be the one of my characters innately impacted by "The Evil." Unlike some, however, his most destructive tendencies are intellectual, despite his raw physical prowess. He will be busy creating objects of destruction and increasingly violent about interruptions. These may be an Aradiabot he's trying to fashion, or doomsday weapons. None of the latter work, and the former may work by the end of the month as a sort of short-term monster if people don't calm him down.

He has a recent network post of him trying to make a murder robot. Yeah, this is going to be a bit of an issue. Even if it's unleashed, the robot will be destroyed by hunters or someone before the end of the month.

Wuv
Nooooooooope. If you are really interested in this one? Private message me, but this plot isn't really appropriate for Equius and he just gets weird about romance.

Come to the Ocean. We All Float Down Here
I'm going to include a top level this month for Equius. It will include constructing futile robotic horrors, but also a prompt for him visiting the ocean. Despite his tough guy persona, he struggles with a lot of guilt he's developed over his years as a CRAU. He won't actually give into this, but his corruption level will threaten to spike a bit, which I will associate with him being touched by the evil.

I'd like it if he were de-corrupted by month's end. If nothing else, I will say he visits the salt lake during a full moon to reset him. He'll still be shamefaced next month, going forward, but hey. Big guy has to learn a lesson sometimes.

I'd prefer to avoid actual killing in plots unless you REALLY want to die at the hands of a murderous death machine. Talking Equius down is hard, but not impossible. Fatal responses should not be needed.
