Description First artwork of 2023, though technically this is still from last year. I began this just as a regular portrait, but it kinda ended having a similar vibe as the other color-coded ones I did for my OCs, like this one.

I guess Enki's colour scheme is silver then. Or white. Both aren't akshually colours, I know.

Enki isn' actually his real name, just something he picked because being an Edward Jackson is too generic, lol. His chosen name was taken from a God of the Mesopotamian pantheon (just like my other OC, Astarte, though that's actually her given name). Yeah, Sumerian and Akkadian mythology are recurring elements in my story.

Enki hails from Texas USA, though in the Alternate Universe of my story which is set in the 2100s, the United States are no more and Texas became an independent country. It's a long story (and somewhat influenced by current real life happenings), but Texas independence came with a terrible civil war (and at a great cost). Enki and his people moved away to France when he was a child to evade being killed. His older brother started to work for a shady Technology company over in England and from there on things were never the same anymore. Eventually his brother would get entangled into a scandal (after witnessing somethign he wasn't ought to see) and arrested. Not shortly after he underwent the typical "reformation" program to recondition his supposedly criminal mind. That went pretty wrong according to the authorities. But instead of sending him back to his family (to be looked for and cared after) Enki's older brother was still kept in a facility somewhere in England. Even after too many inquiries, pleas and after threatening legal actions the authorities from Britannia would not return Enki's brother to his family, nor are they willing to give them any further information about his wherabouts. Enki would never see his beloved brother again.

After the situation in Texas calmed down Enki moved back (while his family remained in Europe). He would soon lose them both as well. When his dad conducted investigations on the wherabouts of his eldest son he found information about how parts of "the Party" of Britannia were involved in very illegal activities that violated several human rights. Among them were experiments and research carried out on political prisoners such as his son. After this discovery Enki's parents would eventually "vanish" at the border between France and Germany during their vacation.

Enki carries on despite the grief of loss almost destroying him. He relocates a few times to the various countries and city states that arose in the wake of the US collapse. In New York he eventually gets a job as an accountant at an IT firm that specializes in combat AI systems. That's were he learns about the "eternal kind" - half human-eldritch beings that can live for centuries. The owner of the firm is part of a group or cult who support and follow the leader of the Phonoi-halflings, a tribe that desended from cosmic beings called Phonoi by humans. This man reveals Enki the truth about the fate of his older brother and parents - that they were abused and used in anti-Phonoi research that the Britannians conducted with the help and aid of their government. And that the entities that carried them out were the Epsilon Defence organisation and Britannia Genesys Life Sciences (BGLS), a pharma company owned and led by the father of Loui Device.

Enki swears to avenge his dead family and to kill all the people involved with the research. And because Loui was working for BGLS at that time Enki is also hellbent and fixated on murdering him.  

Personally I'd call him the Visual Kei Texas Rager, because he is usually pissed off and full of RRRRAAAGE. His hair is bleached (he'd love to be as kewl as some halflings and have natural white hair) and his fave fashion style of choice is Visual Kei (the good kind from the 1990s). He changed his looks often so I maybe do an artwork of when he had a different hairstyle.
