Antonio
The Violinist
Appearance;
Besides that, Antonio is a horrible sight to see. Here is an exceedingly lank man in a tattered suit, with a sickly color to his skin and stitches all over his body. His arms in particular are heavily scarred, like they're barely clinging onto his torso. His empty black eyes and prominent nose sit above a mouth almost constantly twisted into a nightmarish grin.
His long, sleek hair seems to have a mind of its own. It can split itself into tendrils to carry objects. It also seems to betray his emotions when his face cannot. Perhaps this, like the rest of his body, is what becomes a man who sells his soul for his music?

In Brief
However, his blessing is also a curse, and he turned to losing himself in hedonistic vices such as drinking and gambling to cope with the stress, to the point where he risks ruining himself. Due to how he’d been treated by the royal family, Antonio despises the upper class and believes they’re nothing but greedy snobs who hold no respect for his art. Not helping matters is the demon who keeps possessing him when he’s out of it in some way, a being Antonio actively tried to avoid in the past but has since (begrudgingly?) accepted after drinking a ton of drug-laced wine at Otleus Manor. On the other hand, he greatly appreciates those who share his passion for music and can appreciate it beyond surface beauty.

Abilities;
Possessed Hair
Antonio's hair can function as extra limbs, but even it has its limits. For starters, the strength and grip of a tendril is dependent on how thick of a lock he's using. That means he can't use a single strand of hair to pick up anything, let alone an entire violin. The strength and grip also cannot exceed his own human strength, and it's actually rather uncomfortable for anyone to pull heavy things with their hair. Plus, although it's dexterious enough to manipulate a violin's strings, his hair isn't exactly dexterious enough to do things like type on a keyboard or open a pickle jar.
Look, the point is sometimes he's just gotta use his hands like everyone else.

Terrifying Melody
Thanks to his infernal pact, Antonio can weaponize his music. Anyone who gets hit by his Demon Notes will be unable to escape the tunes ringing in their ears, which will slow them down and make them lose focus. The more demon notes affecting them, the worse it gets. Their only hope of finding peace from this cursed music is to find a quiet spot at least 24m away from everyone else and meditate for a few seconds.
NERFED: Can stay mostly the same just the conditions for breaking the curse can be 'they get away, it doesn't matter how far' or the other person can find another unique way to shake it off/refute it. I'll either contact you or leave an opening in my tag if this comes up.

Sonata
By carefully placing two notes in a line, he can create a strand of Terrifying String Music that lasts for about 13 seconds. Not only does it inflict one instance of Demon Notes when someone passes through it, but anyone caught in the string when it's made will be physically wounded.
That's right. His music actually does damage.
A more powerful version of this attack is known as Infinite Movement. Once the string is formed, he can send a wave of String Music in ten parallel bars. This also causes physical damage, but one can avoid it if they stay between the bars. He can only create Perpetual Motion once per string, and it takes quite a bit of energy to cast.

Rhapsody
Antonio goes into a musical frenzy and starts flinging Terrifying Music Notes at his targets. These visible notes of glowing red music do a minor amount of damage as well as inflict one instance of Demon Notes when they hit any being capable of hearing. If nothing is hit, the note just keeps sailing on through terrain until it fades into silence. Antonio's only able to keep up this mad preformance for about 9 seconds before he wears himself out.
