𖤐 ANTON, THE WIZARD 𖤐


Our deuteragonist, a wizard of questionable character, and Hong's mentor/roommate/foil (not by choice)

A neurotic and irritable individual who looks down upon society. Extremely intelligent, he has a near-encyclopediac knowledge of the occult and other esoteric subjects. Despite his great intellect, he is not the most observant nor rational man, and struggles with unfounded paranoia... He's second in self-loathing only to Conor Oberst, and can typically be found sulking about in dark places like any proper goth.

He was once a very powerful magician, but after sacrificing most of his magic in a dire time of need, the most he can do now is simple sleight-of-hand tricks. This is something he is deeply insecure about, and hopes to one day regain his powers.

He is notoriously standoffish and pretentious, making him difficult to be around. (His drinking and smoking habits are also.... quite unpleasant, to say the least.) He can, however, be rather charming when he puts in the effort. His worldview is incredibly strange and idiosyncratic, and he has a rather "offensive" sense of humor. Because of these traits, he has been a social pariah on many occasions. This does not bother him as he truly finds no joy in forming meaningful relationships with others.

    SHIT THAT NOBODY CARES ABOUT
  • Despite antagonizing them and finding them incredibly annoying, he actually doesn't mind Hong's company. (It's not like he has a choice either way...) He genuinely does care about their wellbeing although he swears up and down it's only because he's "supposed to".
  • He claims to hate anime, but secretly enjoys Neon Genesis Evangelion. He truly does, however, hate video games. He sees them as pointless and idiotic. He will only play them upon Hong's request, albeit very begrudgingly. He's surprisingly good at Street Fighter.
  • He was raised Catholic, but began identifying as an atheist after reading Richard Dawkins as a kid. He is rather militant regarding his beliefs (or lack thereof)
  • His family moved to America from Belgium when he was very young. Due to his background, he is fluent in French and Dutch as well as English.
  • His middle name is Faust. He thinks it's a stupid name, and copes with it by telling people he was named after the rock band from Germany and NOT the guy from that one fairytale who sold his soul to Satan.

    COMIC APPEARANCES


    THE EVOLUTION

    Honestly, when I first started making my comics, I'd never really drawn an actual man before, so his early appearances are a bit softer and effeminate. It's really embarrassing to look at my old art of him because he looks completely different now. As with Hong, my first drawings of him make him appear a bit younger than he actually is.

    I'd always intended him to be very large and strong and intimidating, and I think I can finally portray him somewhat accurately. Maybe. I don't know.
