Description
Some of you seem a bit confused on who exactly these characters are. And while, yes, their names are self-explanatory, they're not really. You probably just thought I either picked the names to fit their personalities or chose them to represent emotions (like on Inside Out)- and you're NOT WRONG. It's just not the whole story. So here's an explanation on who they are.The original concept came from this picture, called "They Follow Me Everywhere".
I thought it'd help to draw how I was feeling, so what better way than to create characters based on the thing making me feel that way?
Throughout the time of making them, I went off the grid a bit and made personalities (more in depth) for them and stories.
They still very well symbolize my illness, but sometimes, I like to have fun with their designs, still sticking to who they are, though.
And if you noticed, I draw a certain character more when I'm feeling a certain way.
I could add a whole description on all of them, but not many people ready this anyway. So if you want me to go more in depth (I have a lot to say) about them, then tell me in the comments, and I'll make a journal going in more detail.
And of course, if have any questions, feel free to ask.
Anyway, thanks for liking my art~

hypomania is a succubus, a demon that uses male humans to either create demons for it or as food
depsair is a spooky skeletor ghost and as you said a reaper, which means seeing it means your going to die
annoyance... he has a knife
i feel like annoyance is the most boring of the lot, he is about as scary as Jeff the killer, and can easily be fended off, even out classed by a gun or other long range weapon, hell even hand to hand can beat his ass as many involve disarming people now
i can see exactly what you did here by personifying them and personally i can relate, though i don't have characters that are flat out called the emotion, i do have characters who are based of BITS of me, with 1 being slightly based of my loneliness, some others being based off people i look up to and another being hatred i feel toward everything
so i can relate with what i see here

Annoyance looks boring cause most serial killers (or just plain killers) do. They’re sociopaths that try to blend in with society. Annoyance isn’t trying to stand out cause he hates people. His weapon’s a knife because it’s more personal to directly stab someone than shoot them from a distance. And you can really disarm anyone, even someone with a gun.
And these aren’t really emotions, but I get what you’re saying. Try having these all at once. Annoyance is more intense than you see.

i get that i just mean we have 2 supernatural entities and a normal dude
funny, one of the characters in my story is similar, just replace the knife with his bare hands
i know but you need to get close to them, and a gun is a ranged weapon so it is a bit harder to do against a gun
it's ok i get what they are and i get that annoyance is also a big issue, i was just pointing something out

Yeah, it is a bit weird. Never really thought of it that way. And yeah, it is harder for someone with a gun, but Annoyance isn’t a guy that likes things easy.
