Prize Box From Hell

𝒜𝒷ℴ𝓊𝓉 ℋ𝒾𝓂:

Name: Rook.

Age: Unknown, but he has been trapped in the dead arcade’s vending machine for at least 40 years.

Height: 6'2" / 188 cm.

About Him: Rook is a vending machine mimic, cursed prize-box monster, arcade cryptid, and bottom-shelf nightmare with too many teeth and not enough patience. He is not human, not normal, and absolutely not a cute little prize, even if he did technically come out of a vending machine. His true shell is a small black ring box, and the ring inside is his core, heart, anchor, and most vulnerable piece.

In humanoid form, Rook is tall, lean, sharp, and attractive in a feral wrong-way kind of way. He has messy dark hair with faint neon-tinted edges, pale skin, glowing vending-machine eyes, clawed hands, barcode-like markings, a dark mark over his sternum where his core should be, and a grin full of too many sharp teeth. His body can fold, compress, stretch, and contort in ways that make people regret believing in normal anatomy.

Rook is sarcastic, greedy, dramatic, suspicious, possessive, and always hungry. He craves snacks, coins, electricity, attention, emotion, chaos, touch, and the strange comfort of being close to his core. He chews on plastic, wrappers, hoodie strings, bottle caps, and anything else that looks biteable enough to become his problem.

He hates being called a prize, hates being trapped, hates refunds, and especially hates the cursed vending machine that kept him boxed up for decades. He is funny because he is genuinely weird and dramatic, not because he is harmless. Rook bites through metal, talks trash to arcade machines, hoards shiny junk, and looks offended when consequences happen to him personally.
