Description

This is actually several months old, and I'm not happy with my linework at all, so I've been keeping this and his brother's reference in my sta.sh until now. But I guess I shouldn't let my effort rot, so here he is! Any of my oldest watchers might remember him from the very first RP group I founded on my own. I'm surprised this character has stuck with me all this time, but he's one of my favorite main ocs and I still use him today.  :'3


 


Setting Synopsis:


Since the beginning of our world, magic known as "(tbd)" has manifested itself in all that exists. As millenia passed and life began, abundances of this magic often seeped into the bodies of the first creatures, resulting in an array of supernatural species across the globe. Powers unique to their respective clans, resources available by location- almost all beings lived in simple peace as they traded each other the goods they needed to survive without question. There was no corruption, no deceit. Evil did not exist because these beings did not have the capability to understand or fulfill greed. That is, until Man came. Humans- a unique species bred from the same manifestations of magic as everything else, yet their powers were not physical as the ogres, the fairies or the sirens and all else inhibiting the realm eons before them. Human magic permeated their minds, and with this they advanced intellectually. A social species of wingless, finless, almost hairless, even tailless beings with no claws or fangs, their minds gave them ideas and choices. The choice to be evil was imminent. And that became their power.

As Man crafted tools for their food, they hunted to survive like anything else. But their hunger would not satiate by meeting bare necessity, unlike the rest. Conquests began, and wars were commenced. Man took the land and resources for themselves as they bred like spawn, forcing the creatures who had yet to understand this violence into the corners of their own realm. The instinct of survival lead the beings to fight back, the hostilities growing enough to taint the magic of their realm. Demons learned to turn evil, monsters turned to blind rage, the supernatural entities written in lore today were the darkest manifestations of human conception. The evil which humans granted these beings had turned against them. 

The wars would not cease until an old scholar devised a method of utilizing the spirit magic in various forms.  In a massive warfront effort by the growing human empires, a majority of the remaining beasts were captured by unbreakable tethers stemming from the core of a man-made island, where the creatures were pulled uncontrollably to this destination no matter how far from it they were.These tethers also stripped the land of all its magic as well, providing no possibility for bizarre entities resurfacing in the future. Upon that single island a barrier was erected, hiding this place from sight and sound where the beasts stay trapped, as humans assumed they would eat each other alive and finish themselves off. Centuries passed and almost all evidence of this history has been eradicated from the now human-dominated world, condensing the ideas of magic and demons to mind-bred fantasy and imagination. 

In today's world, those in supervision of the centuries-old project have passed a proposal to finally destroy that island for good. However, as the island's deadline steadily approaches, it becomes apparent the mystical creatures and magic in the island has all but died off as they'd expected.

➥ Verin has lived a mostly isolated life in his large and lonely estate with the company of his servicemen. He is kind to those around him, in only formality. He tends to keep everyone on a business level of relations, only seeking to sincerely aid those who are of use to him and his affairs. He is distant and often aloof in his thoughts, often buried behind piles of books in the grand upstairs library, or in the courtyard garden. His words are always truthful to the most he can understand, though as typical he struggles to comprehend the plight of human feelings. With that, he tends to say anything that he can make of a situation regardless of other's feelings, and surely become confused when they did not wish to hear the truth. He means well in most regard, and tries to mediate any situation he's caused the best he can. He is serious to a fault and has absolutely no sense of humor. If told a joke, he analyzes the mere concepts and completely ruins the fun. It's not on purpose, he just doesn't get it. As such, it's nearly impossible to get him laughing. If anything he just gets confused.

[ ● T R I V I A  ● ]

  • He's a neat freak. Touching his things without asking is a surefire way to get on his bad side. 

  • He trims and files his nails, even though the second he gets angry enough, his claws grow back out instantly. 

  • His organization, communication and business skills have allowed his estate to become the wealthiest and most successful work on the island, often being noted that he may as well own the island itself. 

  • The work he does provides goods and services to human and demon villages alike across the island, meanwhile keeping hostilities between neighbors in check. This prevents wars from breaking out in needless conquest. 

  • The secondary wings in his back do not aid him in flight, but they still flap. They are a trait of inherited power which will continue to grow as he tests his potential- both physically and spiritually. 

  • His tail-claws carry lethal does of venom. 

  • His blood has healing properties, making him often sought after by his family's long-known enemies, including his own father. 

  • His strange albinistic coloring has created ridicule, suspicion and doubt to most demons who see him, causing him to be utmost careful in his business affairs, but the extremely positive results of his work has kept his negotiates at bay for now.  

  • He has asexual tendencies, much rather preferring to adore the beauty of a woman like a well-carved sculpture rather than any physical attraction. 

  • He feels he is solely responsible for the fate of the island. No one else can be more capable than him to prevent the pending onslaught on his home. This causes him no end of stress as he has no better idea of what to do than anyone else.
