Complications:
..........High Priest of and Lover to the King of Billions of Wings
....................This worship and devotion and emotional connection is all that keeps the Backwards Man going, sometimes. As he feels neither pleasure or pain, it’s less about sex and more about emotion. He’d be devastated, if he found out how little his lover really cares for him!
..........His Entire Epidermis is on Backwards
....................His entire epidermis is on Backwards, as a result of a failed attempt at snaring a pooka into his spiritbox.
..........Must Grievously Injure Himself Each Day Just To Perform Basic Necessities
....................In order to do things like see, speak, eat, even use the restroom, the Backwards Man mUsT gash himself open in the appropriate area. As a result, he’s lost all sense of touch.
Quote: ”I must suffer just to exist. My pain is never-ending, so spare me the details of your pathetic plight!”
—-/>_-This is a completed the Backwards Man build.
A delusional man who genuinely though himself psychic, Antoine Griffith tried to ‘trap’ an unembodied pooka in his non-existent spiritbox, and ended up becoming catastrophically deformed in the process.
Taken in by an amusing King of Billions of Wings, the Earth-J imperiex had the Backwards Man gifted mild regeneration. The two began a relationship shortly thereafter, but it is virtually entirely one-sided: while the Backwards Man loves and adores His Winged Majesty, the King of Billions of Wings barely tolerates Antoine.
Thanks to the King of Billions Wings, the Backwards Man is well aware of the multiverse!
