My character Valerein in the Eclipse RP. Images from Picrew and Pintrest. ° . • ~~ ~~ ~ ~~ ~~ • . ° * Valerein du Vale * * 35 * * He/They/Any * * AroAce * * Mercenary Crimeboss * ° . • ~~ ~~ ~ ~~ ~~ • . ° Brown skin; dark brown eyes; black hair in shoulder-length locs. Slashing scars across his face from the jaw to about his nose. Wide, angular features; lean, sturdy build. Spiked earrings, which may or may not be made of real bone. Always wears a black cloak and wide-brimmed hat, and often a black mask; wears mostly all black in general, unless it’s required for a disguise. Carries at least two weapons at any given time. In possession of a magic pocket watch, which allows him to rewind time up to ten minutes, every twenty-four hours. ° . • ~~ ~~ ~ ~~ ~~ • . ° Sly, controlling, and cruel. Can talk or lie his way out of most trouble, but also has the sword skills if not. His influence reaches further than most realize, and even some of those under his employ don’t know the true identity of who they work for. Prefers to pull strings from the side, but will take on very high-interest or high-reward jobs personally. Handles disappointment and betrayal very poorly; he’s quick to anger and very irrational when upset. Also holds grudges for ages. Despises physical touch, and is bad at controlling his temper and long range or hand-to-hand combat [] Proficient at sleight of hand, subterfuge, and finding connections in high places. ° . • ~~ ~~ ~ ~~ ~~ • . ° Valerein grew up on the streets of a city some distance from Summerset. From an early age, he learned that there were far less consequences for those who used other people to get what they wanted rather than try to take it themselves. As he grew older, his name became more prevalent, and he had a few too many close calls with the law, causing him to eventually leave the city and head south. When he reached Summerset, he saw a town filled with paranoia and doubt, and his manipulation of their crime circles came easily. Unlike in his youth, Valerein’s made sure to keep himself mostly in the shadows, even with those he works with, so he can maintain better control of his power and avoid detection. He's now known as the unofficial leader of Summerset's criminal underground, managing everything through an extensive collection of informants, bribes, and false identities. He acquired his enchanted pocket watch from a very rich noble that happened to be visiting Summerset around the time he first arrived; he stole it right from their hands and then used it to escape that very minute. ° . • ~~ ~~ ~ ~~ ~~ • . ° RP Studio:
Personal HCs / OOU Info for fun: - His name is pronounced "Val-er-ANE" (like in pAIN); not "Val-AIR-ee-en," which is spelled similarly (Valerian). - His voice doesn't match his face, and is surprisingly deep and smooth. - His surname, du Vale, was chosen by him before leaving the city, inspired by the title the city law enforcement called him on wanted posters. He doesn't know his real family name. - He still hasn't figured out exactly how the watch works...or any potential side effects it may have. All he cares about is that it's a very convenient tool. - Would accept "Valerie" as a nickname.
