Kitty Sylus Doodle In Between Comms 😼

Actually obsessed with the way his eyes do the widen when he's shocked or unsure what to do.

Caleb looks deceptively innocent with the little baby fat hanging beneath his eyes, and he’s all boy next door handsome. He looks like he would stop traffic to help an old lady cross the street or carry you on his back after a long day out. But I feel like he’s utterly insane beneath that boyish exterior. Murderously insane.

Meanwhile, Sylus has the characteristics of a stereotypical villain. Sharp eyes, a beak-like nose, and this constant smug aura about him. He’s still terrifying—can take over the world if he really puts his mind to it, but he’s a fucking cream puff for the person he loves. I also feel that, aside from having a soft spot for animals, children, and MC, he’s a sucker for the elderly, especially older women.

I said all that to say that Infold knew wtf they were doing when they crafted these two.

Let's start with his tattoos

tattoo on his side

Chinese meaning (translate from Chinese language, with google translate):

This interpretation makes "1112" a synonym for "I love you" in emotional expression.

1112 means that the confession conveys deep feelings and love to the other party. It is not just a simple combination of numbers, but also an expression of commitment and determination.

Among young people in the country, "1112" also represents "a lifetime of happiness".

1112 confession is usually used to express love and commitment between couples, and can also be used in special occasions such as marriage proposals and anniversaries.

Tarot card meaning:

I couldn't make out the meaning properly here, but it seems like there's something about love here too

And the most obvious thing is that everyone noticed: Tartarus

Tartarus is the deep abyss that is used as a dungeon of torment and suffering for the wicked and as the prison for the Titans.

whenever new sylus content comes out in game it all just further solidifies the fact that he's so much more than the typical 'morally grey villain’ love interest people could easily write him off as. i always find myself reminded of the fact that he’s not only such a well written character but a really good lover. 

he makes sure mc/the player is well fed before he starts to eat, he makes it a point to get her favorite drink for her when they meet up. when she challenges him he matches her energy, when she wants to do something he always indulges her and goes along with her plans. 

alternatively, when she doesn’t want to do something—even if he thinks it’s good for her or he would prefer for it to happen—if she says no then the answer is no. like while his first instinct was to kill the old lady who stabbed her during the zoion hunt he backed off when she told him to. he bandaged her up with care and didn’t simmer in his own anger or try to contradict her wishes like other depictions of that genre of man might have.

they play video games together. he fist bumps her when she does a cool move to shoot down their enemies. he’s trying to become a better singer so she’ll like it when he sings for her. he says the soul is one of the most precious gifts given to humanity and implies that she makes up half of his. he wants to help her become strong enough to protect herself. he says their connection transcends current circumstance and repeats constantly that their lives are bound together.

everything sylus has done previously was in preparation to meet her. everything he does currently is working towards having a future with her. when instinct and base desire tell him to devour her, take her strength and be rid of the power she has over him, he doesn’t give in. and with the hints to more of their past lore it seems like in each lifetime he’s stuck in a never ending cycle of having to kill her or be killed by her again and again, yet he persists.

he's the type of man i personally want to work towards deserving and i'm coming to understand how i've accidentally mischaracterised him in the past. i think i could write as many fics about him as i liked, but i would never do him justice.
