Hastur is an unknown "deity" whose gaze alone will drive you mad. He stands 14 meters and 40 centimeters tall, which befits his power. Of course, Hastur himself wears a slightly dark yellow cape that envelops his entire body, becoming something of a hood that conceals Hastur's face in shadow, though more like pitch darkness. Besides the cape, Hastur wears a crown of twigs, suggesting that he isn't anything particularly powerful.
In addition to all this, Hastur has large black wings (like a bird's), with a span of about 8 meters. Furthermore, when Hastur tries to impress (which is rare, as he only tries to impress females or something), he unfurls peacock feathers that reach 24 meters in height, taller than himself. The feathers themselves are dark red, becoming even more vividly red at the base. The tips of the feathers are adorned with yellow ovals containing black circles.
Hastur, being something of a bird, had long wanted to have a nestling, but since he was "stuck" in his kingdom, which was a cave, he couldn't afford to have a child "traditionally." Therefore, his choice fell on the transformation of a human (D3rlord3). Hastur forced D3rlord3 to look him in the eyes, which didn't drive D3rlord3 crazy, but... He became a hybrid of man and bird... Hastur himself treats D3rlord3 like his own nestling, sometimes calling him that. Often, when D3rlord3 is next to him in his nest (and the nest is really large, given Hastur's size), he tucks him under his wing, which sometimes drives D3rlord3 crazy, but Hastur's feathers are nevertheless quite fluffy and pleasant. Hastur once deliberately threw Avery to D3rlord3 to be eaten, but D3rlord3, not realizing it, became friends with Avery. Hastur still occasionally tries to force him to eat the "prey," which D3rlord3 bluntly refuses.

D3rlord3 was once an ordinary human. But after entering a cave and taking a wrong turn, he encountered Hastur. Almost three months after looking into Hastur's eyes, D3rlord3 completely became a bird-human hybrid.
D3rlord3 is also 203 centimeters tall. Currently, he almost always wears a golden helmet with a red feathery plume. Unlike his usual helmets, it's fluffier and more reminiscent of a regular tail, reaching down to D3rlord3's waist. His shoulders are covered with dark red fabric, somewhat ripped, that doesn't quite reach his waist, concealing only one of his golden pauldrons. He also has a dark red belt around his waist, which doesn't secure anything, as he wears nothing other than the aforementioned "clothing," but he has nothing to hide.
D3rlord3 has six wings in total, four of which are on his back and two on his temples. Like regular birds, he has a long, feathery tail. Speaking of feathers, D3rlord3's entire skin has turned black (literally black), covered in feathers, as befits a bird. His hands now have claws, not just normal fingers. As for his feet... They have the same clawed feet as a bird's. D3rlord3 can also extend his wings and grow new ones. He's never used his second one. And by the way, D3rlord3 still has trouble flying.
"The Hunt" ⬇️
What D3rlord3 hates most is the survival instinct, or something like it. When thinking or looking at prey, his normally black eyes (in color) turn red, producing an eerie glow. But when actually hunting, D3rlord3's eyes turn completely bright red, leaving only a black pupil. In this situation, D3rlord3 completely loses control, acting solely on instinct.
In addition to all this, D3rlord3, in the dark, can take on an otherworldly form. (The video only shows one of his eyes, which is red, and his wings.)

According to Hastur, if you look into his eyes during his otherworldly form, your brain, and not just your brain, begins to "melt." These transformations are based on emotions, so D3rlord3 is still inexperienced enough to control them. When this happens in Avery's presence, he tells you to turn away and not look at him, pretending he's "naked," even though he always walks around without any clothing, which Avery falls for (even though he knows he's always naked, he just listens to him because he's his friend).
"Regarding nutrition..."⬇️
Almost always, D3rlord3 obtains its own food, gnawing its victims alive with sharp teeth that appear only during the hunt. It's worth noting that D3rlord3 has a rather long, black tongue, which it rarely sticks out completely.
"What's under the helmet?"⬇️
Underneath his helmet, D3rlord3 has white skin that overlaps black. The black skin extends above his eyes, tapering to a point at the tip of his nose, leaving white skin only on and around his cheeks.
D3rlord3 had black hair, which sat on his head along with feathers. One long, rather large feather stood out in particular. Hastur called it his finest feather, or crest. He also had two "horns" on his head, shaped like two branches of cherry blossoms. Very interesting, though.
"Regarding character..."⬇️
D3rlord3 is a rather serious and reserved "person" (you can't really call him that anymore!), often brooding over everything. But when he's truly happy, he can be quite relaxed and even a little cheerful. He's also quite knowledgeable about science (math, biology/chemistry, and literature).
"The past..."⬇️
Even before D3rlord3 met Hastur, he lived with his mother in the village. After the turning point, D3rlord3 was initially able to hide his feathers by plucking them, but then they began growing faster than he could pluck them. And when he got wings, he could no longer hide them. And then he left. That was about three months ago.

Avery is a caterpillar, standing 185 centimeters tall. He's almost entirely green, save for his cap, which is a very dark gray, almost black. Avery also has red antennae. And of course, on his head, in addition to his antennae, there's something resembling hair, which looks like green jelly.
Avery has red spots all over his body, vaguely reminiscent of freckles. And, as befits a caterpillar, he has a plump tail, though his legs are normal, like a human's.
On his fingers, the skin is black, not green.
He always wears a white sleeveless tank top, with two more arms underneath (meaning he has six arms in total, three on each side). Over the tank top, a black shirt (like a cloak) with a white outline of flowers rests on his shoulders, secured with a red flower to keep it from falling off. And, of course, black, tight-fitting shorts without pockets (or, more accurately, cycling shorts).
Avery himself is very trusting, naive, but incredibly kind and sweet! He considers D3rlord3 his best friend. Sometimes, he calls D3rlord3 "angel" because of his wings.
"What about food?"⬇️
Avery is a pretty bad hunter, being an insect (yes, an insect, 185 centimeters tall), so he often munch on either apples picked from trees in the forest, raw fish, or rotten flesh, which D3rlord3 is indignant about.
Since Hastur tries to feed D3rlord3 himself instead of hunting, setting him up with almost a buffet (despite the fact that there are fruits, vegetables, berries and everything in that spirit), but D3rlord3 still refuses this and D3rlord3 himself decided to give this food to Avery to eat when he is at his "home"

It wasn't that long ago, about two months ago, when D3rlord3 became a full-fledged bird-human hybrid. Hastur noticed his chick was often "sad" (though he wasn't). He decided to brighten up his life... With prey. And when Avery, purely out of curiosity, peered into the cave, not yet knowing who was inside, Hastur grabbed Avery. When D3rlord3 was in the nest, Hastur tossed Avery to D3rlord3. D3rlord3 didn't eat Avery, telling Hastur, "Um... I'll eat him when he becomes a butterfly!" That's how D3rlord3 and Avery met.
Of course... D3rlord3 sometimes thought about what Avery might taste like, and his eyes turned red at that time... but he threw these thoughts out of his head like a bad dream.
So, that's how Avery and D3rlord3 met.

One day, D3rlord3 asked Hastur to build him a forge somewhere near the cave, to which he readily agreed. The forge was installed on the edge of the forest, near the cave entrance.
D3rlord3 himself is very good at forging various weapons, as he knew how to do this even back when he lived in the village.
