Description

DO NOT REPOST/STEAL/TRACE!!!
_______________________________________

Three more things:

  • Even though they’ve changed affiliation. Their stories are still similar to the ones I gave them when they were part the slenderverse.

  • I’ve made my own creature inspired by Slenderman named: Tenebrose [Link]

  • All of my Sages have some sort of mental illness. This makes it easier for Tenebrose to possess and recruit them. Plus it makes it far easier to give them the Tenebris syndrome. If I did not portray the mental illness correctly in the ref, just comment down below. I did some research, but obviously I could never truly know what it’ll be like.

    He has this at least 2 times a week and stays for like an hour or 3. This causes him to get dizzy, sick and sensitive to light. This is why Evan mostly works at night.

    • Stuttering.

    Evan stuttered a lot as a kid. Nowadays it is less noticeable. He is known to stutter whenever he feels threatened or very angry.

    • Tenebris syndrome (level 2).

    The symptoms in level 1 get worse, which are headaches and unexplained nosebleeds. Hallucinations start to appear, paranoia grows worse and the person can suffer from memory loss of certain events. Some start coughing up blood. The reason why Ivan doesn’t have level 1 is because Tenebrose doesn’t trust him.

     

    Relationships


    Family:

    Mother: Cindy Newman-Clinton.
    Cindy was raised at a farm and had to start working at a rather young age. Her parents neglected her and her siblings, so she kept telling herself that if she ever got children she would love and cherish them. She met Peter in a small cafe and he too had a rather similar backstory. The two became close and shortly after they married at the age of 21. Ivan was their first child and soon followed 7 other children. Till this day Cindy is heartbroken and blames herself for everything Ivan went through.

    Father: Peter Clinton.
    Coming from a home with neglected parents, Peter felt a close bond with Cindy. Unlike her he doesn't see his parents anymore. He rather focuses more on the present and the future he will create with her and their kids. Like Cindy, Peter feels guilty for Ivan's disappearance. He often questions himself if he neglected Ivan the same way, his parents neglected him. However he needs to stay strong for his wife and other children. He still believes Ivan is alive somewhere and lives a new and hopefully more peaceful life. He still waits for the day his eldest son would call him and say that everything is fine.

    Sister: Katy Clinton (20).
    Katy was very close with Ivan and would always go to him whenever she needed help. Ever since he disappeared, she knew she wanted to become a detective. Currently she is still in university.

    Brother: Eric Clinton (18).
    Eric is much of a trouble maker, the complete opposite of Ivan. Nonetheless the two brothers got along just fine. Eric tried to convince his brother to take things easy, but knew how stubborn his brother could be. When Ivan disappeared, Eric at first thought he might’ve just walked away and would eventually call him. However after months he realised his brother was really gone.

    Brother: Theo Clinton (16).
    Theo has always been the shy sibling of the Clinton’s, but was truly himself with his oldest brother Ivan. He was the one who discovered Ivan wasn’t in his room anymore. When the family couldn’t find him, Theo became scared. He was scared that if he ever left the house, he would disappear as well. It took a long time and therapy for Theo to get better. He’s still struggling with it till this day.

    Sister: Anya Clinton (14) & Abby Clinton (14).
    The twins of the family. Anya and Abby look a lot alike, not only by looks but by behaviour as well. Ivan would often refer to them as little imps, but was also the only sibling who would join their tea parties with no question. Both of the girls still miss him, but they moved on much easier compared to the rest of the family.

    Sister: Lisa Clinton (11).
    Lisa remembers her oldest brother a little bit. She recalls that he would work in the ranch almost every day. She remembers some fun times she had with him. Despite the lack of memories she does feel that the house is a little more empty.

    Brother: Mark Clinton (9).
    Mark doesn’t know Ivan as well as his older siblings. He was 3 years old when Ivan disappeared. Though he’s very curious as to what person his oldest brother is and hopes to meet him one day.

    Notable relationships:

    Girlfriend: Alayah Lorizio.
    Ivan met Alayah shortly after becoming a Sage. At first both of them were awkwardly starting to form a friendship, before sharing a loving feeling for the other. Alayah is very worried about Ivan's wellbeing and vice versa.

    Close friend: Ricardo Rivera.
    Ivan is aware that Ricardo feels ashamed of his Alters. He tries his best to make Ricardo feel comfortable and this is also how they became close friends. Ricardo often comes to Evan for help.

    Sister figure: Mei-Ling Jiang.
    Mei-Ling reminds Ivan a lot of his sister Katy. Mei and Ivan got along pretty much right away. Ivan helped her adjust to her new life.

    Sister figure: Nora McKenzie.
    Nora is the youngest of the group and yet the one with most experience. Unlike the rest she was raised a Sage, so she already knows all ins and outs. Despite all this Ivan is still very protective of her. He met Nora when she was just 12, so they did develop a sibling relationship with each other.

    Friend: Lars Sandström. (by InsomniacArisen )
    Lars is the leader of another Sage group. Ivan and Lars became friends as they bond over the leadership they have and over strategies for missions. Outside of that the two would often hang out together.

    Friend: Jaylen Young (by greywonderz )
    Jay and Ivan used to work a lot together when everything was good between Silva and Tenebrose. Even if their two masters aren’t on good terms, these two definitely are. However Ivan gets very worried if he sees Nat and Jay hanging out together. Afraid if he’ll get punished by Tenebrose again

    Friend: Zachary Bridge.
    Zach is like Ivan's right hand man. Both do take their missions very seriously and try to finish it quickly. Outside of work Ivan and Zach always know how to make the other laugh.

    Tolerated person: James Marshall.
    Ivan has to tolerate James from Tenebrose, but James does manage to push Ivan almost over the edge. He sees James more of that annoying kid who just tries to screw everyone over and doesn't take responsibilities for his actions. He will hurt James when he really has no choice.

    Mentor: Argiope.
    Ivan has a lot of respect for Argiope and comes to her for any advice she can give him. She also appreciates that he looks out for Nora.

    Future child:

    Milo Clinton.
    Ivan is a rather overprotective father for Milo. At a young age, he taught his son how to defend himself and basic survival in the wild. Like his parents, Milo will end up becoming a Sage at the age of 15. He would take a lot more after his father.

    Short story
    Ivan is raised on a ranch in Texas. Being the oldest of 8 children, he always acted more mature than his age. He often helped his parents at the ranch, so much so that he would work until late in night. His parents often had to force him to go back inside to get some rest. This behaviour only grew worse, he would stay up much later and would work again as early as 5am. it almost seemed like Ivan was too afraid to go to sleep. His parents tried to get some answers out of him, but Ivan would claim everything is fine and that he just enjoys working a lot. Little did his family know that a creature was lurking in the shadows. He never bothered telling his parents and he wanted to protect his younger siblings from it. Ivan seemed to become sicker as days passed, worrying his family.

    Soon he started to isolate himself more from his family and worked overtime rarely taking a break. He experienced more hallucinations, migraines and random nosebleeds. His parents were really worried about him, but never forced him to see someone as they figured it was up to him to make that decision. Shortly before disappearing Ivan got more aggressive whenever someone started approaching him or carefully told him he needed help. His younger brother Theo, discovered Evan wasn't in his room. The Clinton's searched the entire ranch with no luck. Till this day Ivan is still missing.

    Sage info

    Sage’s rank: Brute agent and leader.

    Reason why he was chosen: Tenebrose saw Ivan work in the ranch and was quite impressed with his strength. In need of more brute forces, Ivan’s fate had somewhat been sealed on that day.

    Weapons of choice: Shotgun, swiff army knife, sometimes his own hands.

    How he kills/harms: Ivan often kills his victims as quickly as possible, by putting a bullet through their brains. He isn’t a fan of killing so he’s most likely known to knock them out cold and let either James or Ricardo finish the job.

    Motive for killing: It’s for his own life, as he’s being forced by Tenebrose.

    Relationship with Tenebrose: Ivan listens to whatever Tenebrose tells him to do and will do it with no question. Even so, he absolutely hates the creature.


    Notes/Facts

    • Sages work in teams and Ivan is the leader of his.

    • Ivan sometimes watches over his siblings, but doesn't show himself.

    • He lost his eye after a teammate disobeyed Tenebrose. Ivan took the fall and Losing his eye was more or less a warning.

    • His name used to be Evan, but I decided to change it due to having other characters with Evans as their last name.

    • Ivan never bothered to learn other languages before, only after he and Alayah started dating. Learning both Dutch and Papiamento.

    • Due to only having one eye, he can't see depth.
