Character/Username: Foster van Denend cacoethes_mori Player: Raile Character Themes: Foster is initially a primary antagonist with an arc that rests on themes of self-destruction and self-actualisation, whose isolation and embrace of selfishness eventually comes to contrast (more peacefully) with the found family themes of the rest of canon. He has canonical themes of death and decay, oceans, and puzzles (jigsaw puzzles, Rube Goldberg machines, etc.)
Blood is probably too broad for themes, but blood and consumption thereof, especially his blood, is also... there.
High stakes, risk taking, that kind of thing are part of his "death of the self" theme, but objectification, oblivion (and personal obliteration), and control/loss of control/control over others are the other central pillars of most of his personal ideology and so most of his stories are filtered through this lens. [Collars, brandings, leashes, stuff like that is absolutely a part of it, though. I'm so sorry.]
Mushrooms/fungi and the colour green are pertinent more because of Lost Carnival, but are very strong motifs for him.
Also, bears. It's... the universe assigned him a fursona back in Portland and now bears are just a Thing.
