Seth Wherts

3D render of a blank furry's head; Prototype Seth.

Seth Vaile-Wherts Alfen is 22 year old man, brother of Fohnyx, lover of Aleph, and a core member of The Five. Lore-wise, he was the first one to meet and sign Giorgias's contract, and is, power-wise, only second to the big four. Due to Seth's prevalence in the story and fealty to Giorgias, he is sometimes referred to as "the Right Hand of Giorgias". He was born on the 10th of February.


Physical description

Due to the open-ended nature of P37254, Seth, like his peers, has two 'forms': A human and a furry onew. In both, he is roughly 165cm tall, and some 53kg, making him both the shortest and most lightweight member of The Five. He is, unsurprisingly, also the weakest in terms of raw physical strength.[1]

On his human appearance, Seth has light, maybe even pallid-white skin, black hair, and two deep blue depressing eyes. Most times, he sports a feathered hairstyle, but it tends more towards being just messy rather than elegant. Seth's body is also built like that of a twink, which is actually a pretty good descriptor for him.

As for his furry side, he's a corsac fox. His furry appearance pretty much just mimicks his human one, except that fluffy fur now hides his malnutrition.

The way Seth is depicted varies from both arc to arc, and on what story or universe he's in.
Due to both his early life and service with The Five, Seth has acrewed many scars, most apparent of which is the large gash across his chest from the cut that caused his first death. In some depictions, Seth may also be missing his right arm. It may be gone entirely, or replaced by Giorgias' Mark.


Lore

Not unlike anyone else in P37254, Seth's lore is rather complicated. And actually, probably the most complicated, given his outstanding status.

Early life

Seth and his brother had just your standard middle-class with up until his 4th or 5th year of life, when both his parents died in a car crash. Having no immediate family that could support the two, they became orphans, having to navigate their way through life on the streets, while also having to find ways of making money or finding food to survive. Working together through most of that time, Seth and Fohnyx eventually came specialise themselves, with Fohnyx handling most physical tasks or labour and actual money-making, while Seth was more of an intelligence build. This scheme worked pretty well, and the two were actually pretty well-off.

Not all was sunshines and rainbows, however. During a lot of Seth's early childhood, Fohnyx would either steal or hog resources for himself, declaring that he somehow deserved it more than his feeble sibling, which led Seth to hold some large grudges against his brother, leading the two to squobble constantly and eventually split up somewhen between Seth's 13th and 14th birthday.

Events prior to his death

After his 14th birthday, Seth moved cities multiple times. During this period, he ended up making a couple friends, leading him to eventually settle down there. A few weeks later, in total happenstance,[2]

he ended up meeting face to face with Fohnyx again, with both of them reuniting once more, making peace and teaming up again. It's around this time where they met Devon, who gave them some advise and some cash, just as a treat.[3]

Not too long after this, the two split up again, this time for miscellanious reasons, not any conflict. And speaking of conflict, in this time alone, he ended up getting himself in a fight, which ended uncerimoniously with Seth getting a large gash across the top of his chest. He would later bleed to death in an alleyway, of blood loss.

Giorgias and the contract

Upon reaching his expiration date, Seth woke up, finding himself in The Void, Giorgias' hollow, His domain. Faced with a literal god a contract, and the offer for immortality, it didn't take long for him to fold, and sign away his soul.


About the character

Seth is, chronologically speaking, the second character I've ever created, with his first sketch dating to 2019. He was originally a sidekick to Fohnyx (then still called 'Foxy' or 'Neko', can't recall), but would slowly gain more prominence as time went by, leading me to embrace him as me around 2020-2021. The origin of his name or surname are unknown, but his original surname was "Vail Allen", which I later adapted into both the 'Vaile' and the 'Alfen'.

Relatively speaking, Seth is the 'purest' character, as he has seen the least major re-writes or reworks out of all the others. Due to his, his lore is also the most extensive and hard to disentangle, since I still don't want to have to rewrite large sections of it.
