This character portrayal is NSFW. Mun and muse are both over 20 years of age. Minors (anyone under 18 years old) will be blocked on sight. If I find you have lied about your age you will be blocked and outed to the community.
Content/Trigger Warnings Include:
Blood, gore, death, sexual content, dismemberment, torture, war violence, cannibalism, mind control, drug use/distribution, body horror, unreality, demonic possession, various forms of blasphemy, cult behavior, and psychological/physical abuse.
The presence of these triggers are NOT to be taken as glorification. I do my best to treat these subjects seriously and with as much respect as possible. If I fail to do so do not hesitate to hold me accountable.
GENERAL
This account is private: I only interact with mutuals. I post semi-paragraph responses at minimum and have a preference for multi-paragraph to novella replies. I am open to interacting with other OCs, most fandoms, and multimuse accounts! Due to Alrik's personality and the nature of the world he lives in, I am selective with underage muses.
If I follow you, it means I would like to interact with you. However, this is not a necessity; I'm likely content just reading through your threads.
Personal accounts are welcome to follow, but please don’t interact with or repost a thread you aren’t part of. That’s annoying at best.
I don’t tolerate godmodding or metagaming. Be realistic about your character's abilities and I will be realistic about mine.
I am not my muse. Alrik is written as an obvious villain who does terrible, inexcusable things; this does not mean I condone murder, torture, or abuse of any sort. I just like writing dark characters.
Please let me know if my writing is making you uncomfortable! I try to plot beforehand, but if I’ve missed anything I’ll be more than happy to fix it or even drop the thread! All I ask is you be direct, as I cannot read emotions through text very well.
I don’t suffer vague-posting, we’re too old for that petty shit. The first time I catch you vague-posting about me I will confront you directly. If it happens again I will hard-block you, no third chances.
Hateful messages are deleted on sight. I don't even spare them a passing glance. Grow the fuck up.
OTHER
Alrik is bilingual, I’m not. I refuse to use Google Translate or similar websites due to their glaring inaccuracies. Whenever Alrik speaks Swedish it will be either (a) directly translated from someone who speaks the language, or (b) italicized with a note in the tags letting the reader know he is speaking Swedish. Please let me know if something is translated incorrectly so I can fix it!
I'm mentally ill, neurodivergent, struggling with chronic pain, and working a full-time job. I go on hiatus frequently as a result, so I will not be offended if you soft-block me for inactivity. You don't have to explain anything, just do it.
I am not your therapist. I have my own mental health to take care of; as such, I cannot help you if you feel you are in danger. Please contact the appropriate hotline if you feel the need.
DNI
OOC bigotry earns you an immediate hard-block. Bigoted muses are okay so long as the mun does not condone their behavior or use slurs they cannot personally reclaim in their writing.
If you are confronted for using slurs you cannot reclaim and refuse to stop for any reason, I'm going to hard-block you. I am LGBT, neurodivergent, and have a zero-tolerance policy for that shit.
I refuse to RP with muses based on real people (YouTubers, celebrities, musicians, Hamilton, etc).
If you RP a real-life serial killer/mass murderer, you're not just getting blocked; you're getting called out. I don't give a fuck if they showed up in a season of American Horror Story or if it's a "parody"; it's disgusting and you should be ashamed.
Due to past experiences, I am picky with self-inserts and would need to know you as a mun first. It's not a hard no, but it is a "most likely not."
I will not RP with muses from Attack on Titan, Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss/Zoophobia, Hetalia: Axis Powers, Homestuck, Five Nights at Freddy's, My Little Pony, or South Park.
I don’t interact with cisswaps/rule 63 muses, and I don’t write mpreg or A/B/O.
I refuse to RP rape, pedophilia, zoophilia, necrophilia, or incest. Aging up underage characters for the sake of romance or smut counts as pedophilia. Familial relationships through marriage (step-relatives), adoption, or otherwise canon implication (parental figures) count as incest. Stay away if you fetishize or defend these subjects.
Don't even bother following me if you're going to give me grief for interacting with doubles.
I’m not a drama account. I repost callouts only if I feel there is sufficient evidence against the subject proving they are a danger to the community. If we are mutuals and you ask for my personal blacklist, I'll give it to you; however, for my own safety, I refuse to name any names publicly.
I do not have many triggers, but I'd appreciate you tagging self-harm, suicide, child abuse/death, animal abuse, pedophilia, rape, and cheating. You can use #XYLON DON'T LOOK as a catchall if needed.
SHIPPING
I am multiship. Alrik is not unfaithful and will never cheat on anyone. Polyamory and open relationships are welcome if discussed beforehand.
If you cannot separate IC from OOC, or use RP to find IRL romantic partners, don’t bother trying to ship with me; I am married and monogomous.
If romance isn’t your cup of tea, friend-shipping, familial-shipping, and enemy-shipping are welcome!
I’m selective with exclusive shipping, but I'm always open to mains!

Subject Alrik Ström was conceived via drunken fling at an undisclosed bar in Stockholm. His father, ███████, fled the country before he was born, while his mother Olivia relocated to Falun to raise her son in an undisclosed apartment complex. Olivia showered him in love and support, never hesitating to put Alrik’s needs before her own despite the unfavorable odds. Eventually she met Felix Hannson, marrying him when Alrik was three years old. Barring several odd habits Alrik picked up, like the sadistic killing of insects or blatant obsession with fire, he was considered an average young boy by his mother and step-father.
Alrik did not get along with his peers growing up. He was withdrawn (described as "holier-than-thou" by some) his interest in taxidermy disturbed his teachers and classmates, and he had a reputation as a "mama’s boy." His only friend was equally odd Elias █████: the duo took pleasure in hunting, searching for pretty stones to take home, and █████. Alrik mastered the "craft" of arson by thirteen years old, though he learned not to bring Elias on such trips on account of the his trauma.
As he grew older his punk aesthetic, standoffish attitude, and manipulative behavior combined to make him more unlikable than he already was. Comprehensive school was described as hell from beginning to end. Alrik frequently ditched and only excelled in math and science, with a particular interest in robotics: he built complex machines, and studied the craft of prosthetic limbs. Soon he was researching the possibilities of replacing internal organs with refined machinery.

Olivia Ström passed away after █████ while eighteen-year-old Alrik was sleeping off a hangover at Elias’ house. The doctors described it as an Act of God. The only comfort they could offer was that she did not suffer. Widowed Felix offered Alrik a place to stay until he found his footing, but the two never saw each other again after Olivia’s funeral. Struck by grief and searching for purpose, Alrik decided on a whim to join the army, hoping he would be deployed. This hope was realized thanks to the █████ War, and soon he learned the ways of military combat.
Alrik perfected his ability to kill and got on well with his fellow soldiers, even █████ with a handful of superiors. On the other hand, he found himself disillusioned by the state of society and the planet. Soon he became outright misanthropic, and all-the-more bloodthirsty. He tried to explain this rage to Elias one evening when he returned home from duty, but made the mistake of pushing all the wrong buttons while driving with him in heavy rain.
The last conversation they would ever have was a heated argument.
Alrik was immediately knocked unconscious in the ensuing crash. He was told when he came to that his legs and right arm would have to be amputated, his right eye was rendered completely blind, and the army had no choice but to honorably discharge him. He responded if Elias was okay. The ensuing silence killed whatever humanity held Alrik back from monstrosity. He could not even attend his beloved friend’s funeral, could not comfort his grieving wife, spent the next few months in a daze with little recollection of his daily activities.
His work was his only solace. He built prosthetics for himself, replacing all he lost in the crash. He taught himself how to walk again, how to grab things without breaking them. He jumped from apartment to apartment, spending less time indoors and more within the woods of Tiveden, where he learned the ways of outdoorsmen. He relearned how to use a firearm, taught himself how to build them...but nothing made him feel better.
With Olivia and Elias gone, none remained to talk Alrik down from his antisocial behavior. The world was fucked, and no one had the balls to do anything about it. What the world needed was a leader, someone who knew what to do and could get the job done no matter the cost. They needed a god someone they had faith in.
Alrik had the knowledge necessary to become that leader.
He could create the faith necessary to become that god.
He started off small: he sought runaways and homeless in the streets to preach to and take under his wing. Occultists who introduced him to magic and the otherworldly. Cannabis dealers who knew acid dealers, who knew meth dealers, who knew heroin dealers. Arsonists with the instinct to kill. They gathered in Tiveden, eventually making it their home. There were plenty of caves to mold into their underground network and nurture their growing army.
Alrik Ström is a wanted man throughout Scandinavia and Great Britain. Law enforcement is ordered to bring him in dead or alive.
He is laughing at you.
Alrik only sits in wait as his army grows, his paranoia growing stronger, his determination to ascend fueling his sadism.
Let them try to kill him if they dared.
