Rigel

 is a Follower of Orion who, following Orion's death, sought revenge against all of Siderea. This led to him becoming a prima materia abomination as he found ways to unleash waves of corruption across the planet, leading to an era of great suffering known as the Vengeance of Rigel.

=Appearance=
 * short and like Controlled Messy black hair, blue eyes, black fur/mane/etc.
 * light skin, pretty pale especially nowadays
 * tends toward star-shaped or otherwise starlike accessories and aesthetics
 * tends to dress somewhat formally even in casual situations; you can look at him and instantly know he's kind of uptight
 * always wears dark things. he's like, formal emo. kinda goth really.
 * post-vengeance he has several bits of galaxias permanently fused to his body, as well as lingering corruption elsewhere. the right side of his face is basically just a bunch of prima materia so he wears an eyepatch, he has random space blotches here and there, sometimes you can see stars in his hair and horse bits, etc.
 * seldom uses satyr mode over taur mode, especially now with all of the corruption making it a little harder to shift- actually that probably wouldn't make it harder it would make it easier bc >prima materia. Well Whatever

=Personality=
 * not very warm or friendly. tends to be very serious and sarcasm is about as lighthearted as he gets
 * big time a tsundere, definitely called orion a baka for sure
 * highly jealous and vindictive, takes everything personally and holds grudges for like ever
 * self-aware to the extent that he understands he is difficult to like and will probably never be loved again bc he cannot help but push everyone away and act hostile bc he just doesn't trust people and doesn't know if he even wants to
 * his time with the vast glow (spoilers) has helped tame him a little but he's still very prickly and does not wish to be perceived.
 * when he knows he needs to behave he's courteous but very awkward. has trouble veiling things like contempt and distrust but... tries. he does try! he's trying his best. sometimes.
 * gets along significantly better with animals than people and gets flustered when people catch him being very nice to a creature

=History=
 * had his life saved one way or another at some point by orion, at which point he joined his herd
 * never really liked sagittaria bc he felt like she was a Threat drawing away orion's attention (he is gay.)
 * once sagittaria "betrayed" orion he was all too happy to become his right-hand man and help him plan his revenge
 * yaaaaaaay "killing" the gods and taking over the world whoooooo!
 * oh fuck orion got permakilled.
 * well rigel wasn't too happy about how the tragedy of orion turned out, needless to say. he fled and despaired, but this quickly led to him wanting revenge.
 * he went around gathering up every piece of galaxias that he could find, and the last anyone saw of him he was fucked up and vanishing into some abyss to go slurmp some prima materia or whatever
 * presumably wound up in the core of the planet and vanished from the eyes of the world for quite some time before eventually coming out as a final boss and bringing swaths of corruption alongside him, demonstrating some capacity to control prima materia or at least direct it
 * the saints were founded and sent after him and they had a cool epic anime battle that ultimately led to rigel being spared and freed from the bulk of his corruption because no one could bear to repeat history. rigel could not comprehend this, but at that point was too weak in every sense to protest further
 * given the dangerous state he was in and the fact that the rest of siderea would probably gang up on him and murder him if they found out that the saints chose to spare him, the vast glow appeared and informed the gods and saints that she would spirit him away and guide him to a new life
 * the vast glow took him off-world to her current home, heaven college - specifically the stratum humilitas - and nursed rigel back to health in both body and mind, helping him cope not only with the old wounds of losing orion but also with the new ones like "oh my god i caused an apocalypse and killed uncountable innocent people" and "other than a creator whom i inherently resent i am now completely alone in a foreign world and i can't go home again, not because said creator wouldn't allow it but because i could not bear to show my face"
 * and the rest is classified information.

=Trivia=
 * was created on june 5th, 2020
 * he has a fucked up little corruption pupy named sirius who actually belonged to orion but he stuck loyally to rigel's side after orion's demise. needless to say sirius was not a fucked up little corruption pupy Before but he sure is now! he likes dogys in general also :)
 * knows how to play the pan flute bc the vast glow encouraged him to pick up music as a hobby
 * his favorite color is dark blue
