Scarlet. F

Appearance: Scarlet is a...monstrosity to say the least.

Sporting the head and body of a red big-headed ant, six eyes, moth antennae and the feet and wings of a wasp, this creature would be a bit terrifying to be around. This is also the tallest character in the Euphoriem base, just barely reaching 6'7" and 7'7" if he extended his feathery-antennae. His exoskeleton is a deep shade of purple, with lilac wings and muted-lilac antennae and lavender feet. The carapace sparkles in direct sunlight, with the wings shimmering like a church window mosaic. He uses this as a distraction when caught in a hostile environment, since not everyone likes bugs. Giant, sentient, digitigrade bugs- to be exact. Personality: Scarlet is a quiet observer, preferring to stand on the sidelines and note any abnormalities he sees in his friend: Syrus. As a physical embodiment of Syrus' Clone Hallucinations, Scarlet is unsure if anyone outside of Syrus' friendgroup can see him. Or if Syrus' friends are just indulging the hallucinations so that Syrus would stop trying to include Scarlet in daily activities like an idiot. He did appreciate the younger man's attempts, though. He likes simple puns and books. Given he has alone-time in Syrus' dreamworld and not accompanying Syrus. Unable to interact with anything in the real world, he resorted to people-watching and exploring outdoors whenever Syrus traveled. It fascinates him greatly about how vivid and detailed nature can be, like how the much, much smaller versions of himself have their own communities, languages and varied diets. However, he does have a mean streak. There was once a time where Syrus was tormented and killed repeatedly in the dreamworld, with Scarlet enjoying every moment of it. His malice started to affect Syrus in the real world too, after some time. Syrus would wake up with a sore throat, mild fever, headaches, swollen lymph nodes, and severe rashes in the shape of very-large mandible bites. That was how Scarlet got his name: named after the common symptoms of the scarlet fever and the colour Syrus' corpse would be in the dreamworld every time the man encountered the creature.

Eventually Syrus won over Scarlet's affections by giving him a name, simple gifts and not indulging in Scarlet's destructive behavior created by eons of loneliness and forced isolation. Scarlet finally had a friend, and saw no reason to take his anger out on the man anymore. As long as he isn't abandoned again. It was simple. He will, however, break that oath if he sees Syrus be tormented by anyone else. Like an overprotective guard dog.

Er- bug. Main Story: Scarlet has little to no role in the visual novel. Only occasionally mentioned by Syrus or by Rose (jokingly), Scarlet is never seen. But, in Syrus' Route, the player would be able to trigger a meeting with him if they chose the meaner option when Syrus asked the protagonist if they liked his personality. The chosen choice would lead to a black screen, with Scarlet standing in the middle. He doesn't currently have any dialogue, but as a future hint: It's basically him threatening the player's life if they thought about backstabbing Syrus. Then the scene blends back into Syrus' route with whatever the man had said after the scene. Relationships: Physical embodiment of Syrus' disease. Friend and mentor to Syrus. Extras: - Scarlet is Asexual and Aromantic.

- His favourite books are most of the Ripley's Strangest Collection.

- He sees farther then the human eye can.

- He can fly.

- He has the bite force of a shark, mostly the smaller species. (Lemon, Tiger, etc;)
