◉ Character Information ◉

◉ Full Name | Vaéros (Va-eh-rose) A'losso Aredeth Bel-H'ilicinyä Lathai
ºº Address: Honorable | Wealthy Aristocracy ≠ Nobility
ºº Occupation: Inulvaan of Conflagration (Corahaunt) | Arctechnician
◉ Race | Lanlath - Star of Calmness
ºº Affinities: Sapphora Godborn & Strangle Marken
◉ Age | 392| Born: Jan 1st, 80 B.C. | ♑︎
◉ Gender & Pronouns | Cisgender Male | He/Him Only
ºº Marital Status: Widower
◉ Occult | Magewise & Paladin of Estelley
ºº Planar Alignment: Void​

◉ Core Concept:

ºº Concept | A Damned Paladin | An exploitative former Ordvaan whose betrayal of his divine oaths was repaid in the form of a Godcurse sent from Cemaan. Despite his mastery, Vaéros considers his condition a great source of suffering he takes out on sinners like himself. A monster forced to consume his own; a penance he accepts. To find use for his curse and an outlet for his cold fury, Vaéros has sworn himself to Lord Artarel's legion.
ºº Character | Lawful Evil | Vaéros is a characteristically aloof Lanlath, but with a stern and forthcoming personality that reviles indirectness. He is often mean-spirited or downright cruel, even if he believes what he is doing or saying is right. Through it all, Vaéros has his standards and he is true to them and what he cares about (now).
ºº Religiosity | Estelley | Vaéros is and has always been very pious. He has been driven to be a crazed zealot since his punishment. In his devoted lifetime he has achieved six Ascensions in order: Saphhora, Aseia, Melca, Ammuloa, Sinnavei and finally Leyon's.​

◉ Appearance Information:

ºº General Appearance | Approximately 6’7” with a lengthy yet elegantly slim frame; an athletic dancer's physique. Metallic gold hair with silver streaks as a man who looks somewhere in his mid-forties. A fair complexion.
ºº Anomalies | Vaéros exhibits all of the offered features of a Sapphora Godborn. He has two venomous vipers in his hair. He’s named them Edriss (left) and Hedriss (right).

ºº Void & Affinity Mutations: Vaéros’ fingernails grow into dull points and he has fangs. He also has black sclera and cries fragrant rosewater.
ºº Tattoos: Vaéros has an extensive blackout tattoo covering his neck and upper body, stopping short of his wrists, just beneath his pectorals, and head. When casting, floral patterns in pink appear in them

◉ Mechanics & Hobbies & Themes

Spoiler: ◉ Mechanics ◉

◉ CRP Rolls

ºº Vaéros' Combat Rolls: Defense - 15 | Attack - 17 (18 Territory)
ºº Valhellon's Combat Rolls: Logic only. It is ill-advised to challenge a Marken in its habitat.
ºº Persuasion Threshold: 12​

◉ Strangle Marken Mechanics

ºº Territory: Valhellon has claimed the Gloomrot Forest's cavern as its own.
ºº Full Marken Form: Valhellon is an immense creature of 8'10" excluding the meters of tail it uses to meanouver. It has dark gold scales, rosegold claws, and glowing fuschia eyes. To blend in, it has the ability to change color to black. Though Vaéros has full control over whether or not he shifts, he has "triggers" which inspire a desire to.
ºº Ability Alteration | New Mechanic | Hysteria of The Hellion: The Godborn's divine heritage interacts with his divine curse. Vaéros' once calculated control over the minds of others is degraded into unfocused distortions instead. Looking at Valhellon can induce psychedelic hallucinations and emotional instability as the monster inadvertantly passes its lunacy onto others. This can be to between benign and hysterical effect. This counts as Void Magic. ​

◉ Hobbies

ºº Cleric: Vaéros is a qualified Ordvaan, but is hesitant to beseech his gods outside of strictly serving them.
ºº Athletic: Vaéros is about as strong as he looks; above average, but not strange. The more he invites his Markenism to the surface however, the stronger and more annomalous he becomes.
ºº Magical: Vaéros is Magewise and only seriously dabbled in sorcery once becoming of age in Lanlath society. It has been three-hundred sixty-six years since then and he is Fifth Teir on the Allorn teir system. Themes center around super-heated ferromancy, fire, and the Star of Calmness' stoic ability to restrain otherwise overwhelmingly malicious and homicidal Magic.​

◉ Language

ºº Innate: Marken Speech | Not a friendly dialogue...
ºº Household Language: Altalar | Tongue of comfort.
ºº Educational Investment: Ithanian, Lëtz, Common | Speech of worldly socialites.

◉ Plot Hooks ◉
​

◉ Elder Godborn | Vaéros has grown up to satisfy the stringent expectations of a Godborn in Estelley, but at what cost?

ºº Vaéros can empathize with other Godborns, regardless of religion. He is also learned of every type.
ºº Vaéros is a disbarred Ordvaan who remains deeply religious and carries out rites in the name of his gods.​

◉ Godcursed | Vaéros is the Strangle Marken called Valhellon and has been for ~60 years.

ºº Vaéros has achieved mastery of his Markenism and does not lose control, however Valhellon is a jealous creature and may challenge others - especially strangers.
ºº Valhellon may randomly attack who it deems enemies of the faith or simply unjust people, but only in Gloomrot.​

◉ Clandestine Inulvaan | From the civilian lifestyle of a Lanlath Avaal (Lord) to the conquest of a many-faced Spellsword devoted to Justice. Vaéros' newly-acquired blood lust required a righteous outlet whether he used tooth-and-claw or arcane ferocity. An otherwise mild-mannered aristocrat keeps this side of himself concealed, for Corahaunt is not nearly as inclined to negotiate as he is to brutalize who he deems as the sinful.

ºº Corahaunt is part of the Menaya militia in the Floral District.
ºº Corahaunt is a stickler for the rules and will not hesitate to punish even other members of his community. This makes him a little unpopular to some. ​

@Katiesc It's been over a week with no review, so I'll just put this tag here as recommended.

 

@Katiesc Changed power ring in favor of a better symbolic representation of this character. From Ulley to Ellea with a large owl familiar.

 

@Katiesc My lad got infected and his proficiency and personality has thus changed. I'm also uncertain as to whether or not the timing is right for Middle Altalar to be his native language.

 

@Katiesc Proficiency changes as per the Vampire update!

 

Boop

 

Worship and ring changed. Change and explanation of such in life story and personality is written in lilac. @Katiesc

 

Fixed

 

@Katiesc Updated with Altalar and magic rewrite, heavily influencing backstory, personality, and proficiency.

 

@Katiesc Taken care of.

 

@Katiesc Was just approved for Ancient Character. Sorry to have you stare at this app yet again. Life story entirely rewritten. I'm also uncertain if the timing is right for his native language to be Middle Altalar.

 

@Katiesc Done. You marked me approved anyway, but I made the changes.

 

@Katiesc Put into a new family! Proficiency and personality radically changed.

 

@Katiesc Update made to vampire mutations as an Alais! He isn't one atm, but I do have the traits in order right below the actual application. You know.. just in case. It's under the Sanguinism spoiler.

 

@Katiesc Updated with Altalar lore. My poor, poor ginge..

 

@Katiesc Point and ability overhaul, including Werebeastism and Shatterism described just below initial application.

 

@ I don't have a reviewer anymore. Katie noooo...

Updated Sorcery. Also updated the Sorcery in the afflictions section beneath the original application.

 

@Follower Url things have taken place. App readjusted in the proficiencies department, and a bit in personality.
