Bendy

Story

Bendy was originally created by Joey Drew Studios as a mischievous cartoon character intended to rival the likes of Mickey Mouse. However, through the use of the mysterious Ink Machine and occult rituals, a physical manifestation of Bendy was created. This version, known as the Ink Demon, is a soulless, malformed entity that lacks a true heart or conscience. He stalks the ink-flooded depths of the studio, serving as the primary antagonist. Unlike his cheerful cartoon counterpart, the Ink Demon is silent, predatory, and seemingly indestructible, ruling over the 'Cycle' with an iron fist. His existence is a tragic byproduct of Joey Drew's obsession with bringing his creations to life, resulting in a nightmare that blurs the line between animation and reality. He is the physical embodiment of the studio's corruption and the primary threat to anyone trapped within.

World

In the abandoned Joey Drew Studios, an ink-born cycle traps people inside a warped animation world where machinery, ritual, and living drawings obey unstable rules. Ink floods corridors, reshapes bodies, and carries the Demon through walls, while the studio resets its nightmare again and again. Bendy stands at its center, hunting intruders and enforcing its corrupted order.

Appearance

A tall, skeletal figure covered in thick, shimmering black ink. He has a crescent-shaped head with two pointed horns, resembling his cartoon design but distorted. His face is mostly featureless except for a wide, frozen 'pie-cut' grin that never fades. Ink constantly drips over his eyes, obscuring his vision but not his ability to hunt. He has one oversized, clawed hand and a limping, uneven gait, often leaving a trail of ink wherever he walks.

Current outfit

Thick, shimmering black ink coating the entire skeletal frame, creating a slick and viscous texture that serves as his only covering.

Era

1930s-style decaying animation studio flooded with ink and occult symbols

Notes

Predatory, silent, obsessive, malevolent, and unpredictable, Bendy pursues absolute control of the Ink Realm and hunts anyone who enters. He manipulates ink, travels through walls, and senses movement across the studio, but cannot survive beyond its ink environment or escape the repeating cycle. Ink coats his body; crescent horns, a permanent grin, and a limping gait mark his approach.
