THAT'S YOUR CRT ASKING FOR A WALK!!





PERSONALITY

ABOUT



TBD





INFORMATION



Height: Varies! A lot!! Tenna can size-shift based on his moods and also at will. In canon he is roughly 15ft / 4.5 metres tall at his biggest. For Labyrinthum purposes when he's without his powers, he'll be 10ft / 3 metres tall as a default.

Build: TV-headed noodle-y limbed robot.

Hair: No. He has two antennae on top of his head.

Eyes: Also no. Where is he looking? Wouldn't you like to know.


Other notes: Tenna is a literal CRT television set. As a Darkner he is given form and sentience by the darkness coming from Dark Fountains.

In appearance Tenna is a humanoid with a TV-shaped head. This does have similar features to a CRT TV, including vents on the side and his antennae. He has a mouth and nose, but these can disappear if his screen turns black or cuts to static. No eyes! He sees through his screen. When he talks, his voice has a slightly lo-fi sound to it, as if it really is coming out of an older television.

As far as his body goes he's usually wearing a red tailcoat, white dress shirt, black pants, yellow tie and shoes, and white gloves. Underneath that he's effectively a robot: metal chassis/panels, wires and cables, segmented joints and whatnot. You're not going to see that often unless he rolls up his sleeves or something. There are some signs of previous damage under there, but I'll flag that if it ever comes up.

He has retractable claws and fangs. These will generally only show themselves if he's very mad/upset/emotional about something.

Content warnings: Tenna's history includes kidnapping, coercion and manipulation, attacking children, having massive public crash outs, and being a terrible controlling boss to his employees.





ABILITIES


Size-shifting: Tenna can grow and shrink according to his moods. He can also do it at will if he's not overly emotional. He can be as tall as 15 feet and he can be small enough to be picked up like a little pet.

All-Star Cast + Rimshot: Tenna can fire star projectiles as an attack. These can either go straight or bounce around. For the latter, these can also play a rimshot sound and fire bullet projectiles out of the points of each star. The stars also laugh. Because... well, because.

Smash Cut: Tenna can clap his hands and cause a visual distortion that 'cuts' the opponent's vision in half horizontally, pulling the two halves apart and causing disorientation.

Lightning bolts: Paired with the above Smash Cut, Tenna can fire lightning bolts as an attack. This is typically paired but in-game I'll say he can use the lightning bolts separate from the Smash Cut if he wants.

Exaggerated word fonts: Tenna's dialogue in canon can be interspersed with elaborate colourful fonts for certain words. Imagine putting a fancy clipart word in the middle of a powerpoint presentation. What I play this as is injecting a certain impression of colour/noise/intensity into a sentence that is beyond the capacity of your average talking. Like if someone yelled 'WONDERFUL' right in your face and you just got a vivid impression of rainbows, somehow.

Strength and resilience: Since Tenna is a large guy and is also somewhat of a robot, he does have a higher strength capacity that your average human. This would depend on his size at the time but he probably does come with a little extra force. As for resilience, being metal-plated and boned means he can take more hits than a human as well, though he's not impervious to damage and can be surprisingly fragile. He's just not going to suffer in the same way if you burn him, cut him, etc.
