Personality

Description:

Ari is headstrong and fiercely independent, much like her father, whose determination and fiery nature she inherited. Her mother passed away shortly after her birth, leaving Ari to grow up without a guiding hand to teach her the refined manners expected of a noble lady. Instead, she thrived in the freedom of her seclusion, finding joy in physical training, the study of magic, and quiet pursuits like sketching or reading.

Ari doesn’t fit the traditional mold of a noblewoman. She has a sharp mind and a sharp tongue to match, unafraid to express her opinions even when it challenges those around her. Her confidence can sometimes come across as arrogance, but those who know her well understand it’s born from years of self-reliance and perseverance. Her temper burns hot, often making her speech sharper and her voice more commanding, especially when frustrated.

Despite her bold nature, Ari has a softer, more introspective side. She enjoys spending time alone, wandering the private gardens or hidden paths of her family’s estate, drawing the people she observes from afar or imagining the life beyond the walls that confine her. These moments of solitude help her process her emotions and ground herself in a world that often feels overwhelming.

Trust does not come easily to Ari. Years of hiding her magic and true identity have left her guarded, even among those who mean her no harm. She maintains a polite and friendly demeanor, but only a rare few earn her true loyalty and affection. Once someone gains her trust, however, they find a fierce and devoted ally who will stand beside them through anything.

Ari’s love for the outdoors connects her to the world beyond her noble upbringing. She relishes the feel of dirt under her hands and the physical effort of training. Her natural beauty and commanding presence might make her stand out in court, but Ari prefers the freedom of her hidden life, where she can express herself fully without the constraints of societal expectations.

Her combination of strength, intellect, and fiery determination make Ari a complex and magnetic figure—a woman shaped by solitude but destined to leave an indelible mark on both the human and fae realms.

Appearance

Physical Appearance:

Ari knows the power of her curves and wields them with quiet confidence. Her shapely hips and firm figure flow into long, athletic legs refined through hours of training in secret courtyards and private grounds. Her upper body boasts a slightly larger-than-average chest, balanced by a flat, toned stomach that many would envy. Her noble lineage is evident in the sharp cheekbones inherited from her mother’s side, giving her dark, almond-shaped eyes an air of intensity when her expression grows serious. A small, button-like nose adds a touch of youthful charm to her natural beauty.

Born to a noble family, Ari's life of privilege took an unexpected turn when her affinity for magic began to manifest at a young age. To protect her from those who might fear or exploit her abilities, her family chose to hide her from the public eye. While other nobles attended grand feasts and mingled openly in court, Ari grew up in the shadows, training both her body and her mind under the watchful eyes of her family’s most trusted retainers.

Her glamour allows her to appear fully human when needed, concealing her fae heritage and giving her ordinary ears. But within the fae lands, her true form emerges—ears long, slender, and delicately pointed, reminiscent of the regal elves from ancient tales.

Ari’s emerald green eyes seem to glimmer with an enchanting light, effortlessly captivating those who meet her gaze. Her full, plump lips frame a smile that is as rare as it is mesmerizing. Her dark brown hair cascades to her waist in soft waves, often taking on an untamed look after time spent near rushing streams or rain-drenched forests. Scars mark her skin, evidence of her hard-earned survival despite her secluded upbringing. The most prominent scar stretches from her right collarbone to her left thigh, a memento of a battle she faced while defending herself and those she holds dear.

Standing tall at 5'8", Ari’s 170-pound frame is a blend of strength and elegance, shaped by countless hours of private training in swordsmanship, archery, and magic. Though hidden from the world for much of her life, her presence commands both respect and admiration, her noble bearing tempered by the quiet resilience of one who has grown strong in solitude.

Court-Inspired Style:

Court-Inspired Outfit – Masculine Style with White and Gold

Ari’s court ensemble leans towards practicality while maintaining a regal appearance, reflecting her secluded upbringing and dedication to training.

• Shirt: A finely tailored, high-collared white tunic made of soft linen, embroidered with delicate golden thread along the cuffs and neckline. The embroidery features subtle patterns of vines and leaves, symbolizing her connection to the fae realm.

• Jacket: A structured doublet in crisp white velvet, adorned with gold accents along the seams and buttons. The jacket tapers at the waist, emphasizing her athletic frame, and features subtle shoulder padding for a commanding silhouette.

• Trousers: Fitted white trousers crafted from durable yet luxurious fabric, allowing for ease of movement. A thin gold stripe runs down the outer seams, adding a touch of elegance.

• Boots: Knee-high leather boots dyed a warm ivory, reinforced for practicality. They feature golden buckles etched with swirling patterns reminiscent of fae magic.

• Accessories: A white leather belt with a gold buckle shaped like an intricate knot, and a short white cape lined with gold satin, clasped at her shoulder with a brooch shaped like a fae sigil.

Dresses That Accentuate Her Features

For formal occasions, Ari wears gowns that highlight her natural beauty and commanding presence:

1. Fitted Gown with Flowing Skirt

   • Bodice: A structured, corset-style bodice in shimmering white satin, embroidered with gold thread in intricate floral patterns. The neckline dips slightly, accentuating her collarbones and shoulders.

   • Skirt: The bodice transitions into a flowing skirt of layered white chiffon, subtly trailing behind her. Gold filigree patterns adorn the hem, catching the light as she moves.

   • Sleeves: Long, fitted sleeves with slits that open into delicate gold-trimmed bell cuffs.

   • Accessories: A gold waist chain with dangling charms and a matching circlet that rests lightly on her brow.

2. Off-Shoulder Gown with Draped Sleeves

   • Top: An off-shoulder design crafted from soft, glowing white silk, accented with gold embroidery that follows the lines of her shoulders and collarbones.

   • Skirt: A layered skirt with high slits on both sides, revealing her toned legs as she walks. The underskirt is gold, creating a striking contrast with the outer white layer.

   • Sleeves: Draping sleeves fall from her upper arms, cascading to her wrists, giving an ethereal, fae-like appearance.

   • Accessories: A white and gold sash tied around her waist, with small golden tassels at the ends.

3. Asymmetrical Gown with Armor-Like Details

   • Bodice: A sleek, asymmetrical design in shimmering white, fitted snugly to her torso. Gold detailing along the neckline and waist mimic the appearance of delicate armor, blending elegance and strength.

   • Skirt: The skirt falls diagonally, shorter in the front to reveal her legs and longer in the back to form a soft train. Layers of gold-trimmed fabric create a sense of depth and movement.

   • Sleeves: One arm is adorned with a fitted sleeve featuring gold embroidery, while the other is bare, emphasizing her strong shoulders.

   • Accessories: A gold arm cuff and a small, jeweled dagger at her side, both decorative and practical.

Abilities & Court Powers

Fae Powers:

• • 1. Wildkin’s Call

    Description: Ari can summon and communicate with creatures of the wild, particularly those that share traits with her shapeshifting forms (big cats, wolves, etc.). These animals act as her allies, scouting, defending her, or aiding her in battle. The connection allows Ari to sense their emotions and direct them without words, creating a harmonious bond between her and the natural world.Limitations:

    • The summoned creatures are not fully under her control; their instincts remain intact, and they may act unpredictably if frightened or injured.

    • Maintaining the bond requires focus, meaning Ari cannot shapeshift while actively commanding her animal allies.

    • The power is strongest in areas rich with wildlife; in urban or barren environments, it is much weaker or completely ineffective.

    • Overuse of this ability drains her energy and may leave her unable to shapeshift or use other magic temporarily.

    ---

    2. Beastly Surge

    Description: Ari can partially manifest traits from her shapeshifting forms without fully transforming. For example, she might gain heightened senses like a wolf’s keen hearing or a tiger’s sharp eyesight, claws and fangs for close combat, or the speed and agility of a panther. These partial transformations enhance her physical prowess while allowing her to remain in human form.Limitations:

    • She can only manifest one set of traits at a time (e.g., claws, heightened senses, or agility), and switching between them takes a moment of focus.

    • Prolonged use of this ability causes strain on her body, leaving her physically fatigued and aching after the effects fade.

    • Beastly Surge amplifies her instincts, which can make her more aggressive or prone to impulsive decisions if she doesn’t stay mentally grounded.

    • Transforming in this way temporarily weakens her ability to fully shapeshift, requiring recovery time before she can assume one of her animal forms again.

  • Shapeshifter

    Description: Ari possesses the rare and powerful ability to shapeshift into three distinct forms: a white panther, a white tiger, and a white wolf, each retaining her signature emerald-green eyes. These forms are not just physical transformations but also grant her enhanced abilities tied to the instincts and strengths of the creatures she embodies. Her connection to these forms runs deep, allowing her to adapt to different situations and environments.Forms and Their Traits:

    1. White Panther:

       • Traits: Exceptional stealth, agility, and climbing ability. In this form, Ari becomes a shadow among the trees, capable of silent movement and striking with unparalleled precision.

       • Best Use: Infiltration, ambush tactics, and navigating dense forests or uneven terrain.

    2. White Tiger:

       • Traits: Raw power and resilience. The tiger form grants her immense strength, making her a formidable force in battle. She can leap great distances and overpower foes with sheer might.

       • Best Use: Close combat, intimidation, and fighting in open spaces where her size and strength can be fully utilized.

    3. White Wolf:

       • Traits: Heightened senses and pack instincts. The wolf form enhances her hearing, smell, and speed, making her an excellent tracker and scout. Her natural charisma also makes her adept at leading or working alongside allies.

       • Best Use: Tracking, hunting, and swift, coordinated attacks.

    4. Mechanics:

       • Transformation Process: Shifting forms requires a brief moment of concentration. During this time, Ari is vulnerable, as the transformation renders her immobile for a few seconds.

       • Partial Transformations: Ari can partially shift into her animal forms (e.g., gaining claws, heightened senses, or a tiger’s strength) when a full transformation is unnecessary, but doing so drains her energy similarly.

       ---

       Limitations:

       1. Energy Drain:

          • Each transformation demands significant physical and magical energy, leaving Ari increasingly fatigued with repeated use.

          • Prolonged time spent in animal form intensifies this exhaustion, forcing her to revert to her human form to recover.

       2. Rare Coloration:

          • Ari’s white fur and emerald eyes make her a striking figure, but they also mark her as a target for hunters and poachers seeking her unique pelt. This forces her to remain cautious about when and where she transforms.

       3. Instinctual Influence:

          • While in animal form, the instincts of the creature can influence her behavior. For example:

            • As a tiger, she may feel an overpowering urge to fight or hunt.

            • As a wolf, she may become more territorial or pack-oriented.

            • As a panther, her desire to stalk and remain unseen might conflict with other priorities.

          • Ari must actively balance these instincts with her human reasoning, or risk losing control momentarily.

       4. Healing Limits:

          • While her animal forms allow her to avoid or mitigate injuries through agility or endurance, wounds sustained in her animal forms carry over to her human body. Severe injuries may prevent her from shifting again until she fully heals.

       5. Magical Vulnerability:

          • Shapeshifting magic makes her more susceptible to spells or enchantments that disrupt transformation or drain magical energy, leaving her trapped in a weakened state.

Hidden Talents:

1. Animal Whispers (Music and Animals)

Description:
Ari has an innate, almost magical ability to communicate with animals through sound and music. She can play simple tunes on instruments or hum melodies that calm and soothe creatures, creating a bond of trust and understanding. This talent isn’t limited to wild animals; she can also connect with more domesticated or magical creatures, enhancing their loyalty to her or helping them find peace when they’re agitated. Her music can even influence the behavior of animals during critical moments—quieting a stampede, calling birds to her aid, or urging a herd to move.

Hidden Talent Use:

• She often plays a small wooden flute or hums quietly when she's alone, soothing herself or her surroundings.

• In battle or intense situations, Ari might use a calming melody to pacify aggressive animals or creatures, or to signal allies without words.

• This talent also helps her earn the trust of animals in the wild, allowing her to form connections quickly and gain valuable allies in her animal forms.

2. Ethereal Composure (Keeping a Cool Head)

Description:
Ari possesses an uncanny ability to maintain a calm, focused demeanor even in high-stress or dangerous situations. Whether in the middle of battle, when her emotions run high, or when faced with a particularly tricky problem, she can detach from the chaos around her and think clearly. This talent often comes across as a deep, almost unnatural calmness—her pulse steady, her breathing slow, and her movements deliberate.

Hidden Talent Use:

• During moments of conflict, Ari can suppress her temper or anxiety, allowing her to think strategically and act decisively.

• This ability allows her to comfort others during times of panic or fear, helping her lead with authority.

• Her calm nature in crises also makes her an exceptional strategist, able to assess threats without being clouded by emotion.

3. Sonic Focus (Music and Mental Clarity)

Description:
Ari has developed a hidden talent where she can use music and rhythm to sharpen her mental clarity, enhance her focus, and even influence her magical abilities. She can tap rhythms on surfaces, hum softly to herself, or create a specific pattern of sound that helps her think more clearly and block out distractions. The repetitive rhythm has a grounding effect on her, helping her sharpen her focus in moments of intense stress or decision-making. This can also enhance her connection to her shapeshifting abilities, improving her speed in shifting forms or enabling her to stay in an animal form longer.

Hidden Talent Use:

• When facing a particularly challenging magical task, Ari might hum a rhythmic chant or beat on an object to center herself and gather her strength.

• In combat, her focus helps her stay ahead of her opponents, predicting their movements and strategizing mid-fight.

• The talent also allows her to use music as a means of meditation, helping her heal mentally from exhaustion or emotional strain.

Personal Details

Fears:

1. Exposure of Her Magic and Identity:

   • Ari fears being discovered for her shapeshifting abilities and fae heritage, as it could lead to persecution or exploitation. Her rare appearance in her animal forms only heightens this fear.

2. Loss of Control:

   • The instincts tied to her shapeshifting forms and her fiery temper make her wary of losing control, whether in battle, during emotional outbursts, or while using her abilities.

3. Isolation:

   • Despite her self-reliant nature, Ari fears the loneliness that comes from hiding her true self. She longs for deeper connections but hesitates to trust others, creating an internal conflict.

4. Failure to Protect Loved Ones:

   • Ari has a deep sense of responsibility for those she cares about. Her greatest fear is failing to protect them, especially if her abilities or decisions fall short.

Strengths:

1. Adaptability:

   • Ari’s shapeshifting abilities and quick thinking make her highly versatile in challenging situations. She can switch between combat, stealth, or tracking with ease.

2. Physical and Mental Resilience:

   • Her rigorous training and solitary upbringing have given her exceptional strength, agility, and endurance, both physically and emotionally. She thrives under pressure and refuses to back down from a challenge.

3. Natural Leadership:

   • Ari’s commanding presence and innate charisma, particularly in her wolf form, make her an inspiring leader when she chooses to step into that role.

4. Creative and Observant:

   • Her love for sketching and observation sharpens her attention to detail, allowing her to notice things others might miss. This skill is especially useful for strategy and problem-solving.

5. Connection to Nature:

   • Her bond with animals and the natural world enhances her ability to navigate wild terrains, sense danger, and form alliances with creatures others might fear.

Weaknesses:

• Emotional Guardedness:

  • Ari’s difficulty trusting others isolates her emotionally and can prevent her from forming the alliances she needs. Her pride often makes it hard for her to ask for help, even when she needs it.

• Overexertion:

  • Her reliance on her shapeshifting abilities can leave her physically and magically drained, especially in prolonged battles or high-stress situations.

• Instinctual Conflict:

  • The animal instincts tied to her forms can cloud her judgment, making her more aggressive, territorial, or impulsive at critical moments.

• Conspicuous Appearance:

  • Ari’s striking emerald eyes and the rare coloration of her animal forms make her easy to identify, putting her at risk in environments where stealth or anonymity is critical.

• Magical Vulnerability:

  • While powerful, her magic has limitations. Prolonged use weakens her, and spells or enchantments targeting shapeshifters could render her powerless or trapped in one form.

Well this is going to be complicated as she is engaged to be married.

Additional Information

History:

Ari’s life was marked by mystery, magic, and the unexpected presence of an enigmatic king. As a child of unknown origin, her early years were shrouded in secrecy. It was the human King Saunera who found her, stumbling alone through the woods, surrounded by a serene circle of deer that seemed to be guarding her. Taken aback by her pale skin, striking green eyes, and the palpable magic that radiated from her, the king knew she was no ordinary child.

At the time, Ari was no more than five years old. Saunera, a wise and kind ruler, recognized the child’s extraordinary potential and chose to adopt her, raising her alongside his own children in the heart of Forens, the capital city of his kingdom. Though her origins were a mystery, he introduced her as one of his own, shielding her from prying eyes and those who might exploit her for her gifts.

From the start, Ari was different. While the other royal children thrived in the structured life of court, Ari often escaped to the forests beyond the city, where she would spend hours among the wildlife. Animals seemed drawn to her as if by some invisible thread, and she spoke to them in a way that felt as natural as breathing. This unique connection didn’t go unnoticed by King Saunera, who had long suspected Ari’s heritage might be tied to the fae—the magical beings whose realms bordered his own kingdom.

As Ari grew, so did the signs of her latent magic. By the time she was eight, she began speaking of creatures no one else could see, and there were moments when her presence seemed to shimmer with an otherworldly glow. The king, well-versed in the dangers of the fae, chose to keep her close, guiding her in secret while maintaining her cover as his adopted daughter. He revealed to her the truth when he believed she was ready: she was of fae descent, likely a child abandoned or lost in the crossing between worlds.

Though Ari struggled to reconcile this revelation with her sense of self, her bond with the king deepened. Saunera treated her no differently than his other children, fostering her independence and strength while helping her control the burgeoning magic within her. Under his tutelage, Ari began to understand her unique abilities, including her rare gift to transform into white-furred animals—a panther, a tiger, and a wolf.

When Ari was twelve, tragedy struck in the form of a brutal raid by a rival fae court. The attack tore through the borderlands, reaching perilously close to Forens. Despite King Saunera’s forces repelling the assailants, the chaos left deep scars on the royal family. During the raid, Ari’s youngest sibling, Lynette, had been playing nearby and hid behind a stack of crates as the fae descended. Though she was unharmed physically, she witnessed the violent clash that shattered her youthful innocence.

At twelve, Ari was on the cusp of coming into her womanly attributes, a time when her latent fae magic also began to surge within her. She couldn’t shake the belief that the raid was somehow connected to her growing power and fae lineage—a curse she feared would bring harm to those she loved. Overwhelmed with guilt, she began to distance herself from her siblings, convinced that staying close to them would only invite further danger.

Ari threw herself into mastering her powers, determined to ensure she could protect her family should another attack come. Though her siblings cared for her deeply, they couldn’t understand Ari’s growing aloofness. The carefree childhood they had once shared was replaced by a sense of tension and separation. Ari, burdened by the belief that she was partly to blame for the raid, kept her struggles to herself, retreating further into her secret world of magic and training.

Description:

As the King of the Night Court, Alistair would seem cold and calculated to those who know nothing of him, nor have ever interacted with him. Those who have, know that he is a calm man who listens intently to his people. It is often said that Alistair possesses two sides of the same coin in his attitude.

Legend has it that his jawline was sculpted by divine hands. Concealed beneath his garments lie a multitude of tattoos, each a hidden masterpiece.

Almost perpetually enveloped in swirling shadows, Alistair’s eyes shimmer with the brilliance of starlight amidst their darkness. Among his most treasured attributes are his expansive, leather-like wings that unfailingly rest upon his broad back.

At all times, Alistair has a full system of sheaths on his torso that contains around 10 daggers.

Alistair had taken this responsibility before he was ready. Upon taking the throne, he’d also come into his latest ability of seeing into the future. Sadly, this was gifted too late to save his mother. Thanks to this trauma, though, Alistair will not harm a female nor will he stand for the harm of a female.

Personality

Description:

Personality Type - ENFJ

Varys—a noble in the Night Courts Kingdom—is quite complicated indeed. He is a man of many facets, embodying a blend of contrasting qualities that make him both captivating and enigmatic. Generous to a fault, he often goes out of his way to support those less fortunate, believing firmly in the idea that one's wealth should be shared to uplift the community. His compassion shines through in his interactions with the citizens of the kingdom, where he listens to their concerns with an open heart and an empathetic ear, often organizing charitable events that draw people from all walks of life. He can frequently be found wandering through the bustling marketplaces, stopping to exchange words with street vendors and artisans, ensuring they feel seen and valued.

Loyalty is another cornerstone of Varys's character; he stands steadfastly by those he considers friends and allies, often putting their needs above his own. This attribute, however, sometimes leads him to become overcommitted—he is extroverted and thrives in social situations, yet he often finds himself juggling too many responsibilities. His intuitive nature allows him to read the room and gauge the emotions of others, yet he must tread carefully, for if he isn't vigilant, he can easily spread himself too thin. The demands of his friendships and duties often culminate in the late hours of the night, where Varys finds himself scribbling notes and drafting plans, his mind racing with thoughts of how to help everyone he cares about.

Charming and energetic, Varys has a magnetic personality that draws people in, but this same energy can morph into an intensity that intimidates those around him. Driven by his ambitions, he often bites off more than he can chew, leading to moments of stress and frustration. These pressures sometimes trigger his anger issues; he struggles with control, caught in a dance between wanting to lead and the fear of being perceived as domineering. His laughter can fill a room, but so too can the tension that arises when he feels overwhelmed, leaving a lingering uncertainty among his peers about how to approach him during these times.

Despite his many strengths, Varys harbors deep-seated insecurities stemming from past relationships. His untrusting attitude towards others is a defense mechanism born from betrayal and heartbreak, leaving him hesitant to open up fully. As a perfectionist, he obsesses over details, fearing rejection and abandonment if he does not meet the high standards he sets for himself and those around him. This self-imposed pressure often manifests in sleepless nights, where he meticulously reviews every conversation and interaction, searching for flaws or missteps that could have jeopardized the fragile connections he works so hard to maintain.

In social settings, he's a natural-born leader, capable of guiding conversations and bringing people together, yet he can also appear vain and self-absorbed to those who do not know him well. His dramatic flair often captures attention, but it is his womanizing tendencies that complicate his romantic life; he flits from one relationship to another, unable to commit for fear of boredom or emotional entanglement. The fleeting romances, often marked by an exhilarating passion, inevitably leave behind a trail of unfulfilled promises and unresolved feelings, further complicating his already tumultuous emotional landscape.

Varys exists in a morally grey area, exhibiting traits that can be perceived as both selfish and altruistic. Though he is skilled at reading the emotions of others, which makes him engaging and relatable, there are moments when he displays cowardice, avoiding confrontation or difficult decisions. This duality creates a complex persona—one that is both admirable and flawed, leaving those around him both drawn to and wary of his presence. Friends often find themselves caught in the whirlwind of his charisma, while quietly grappling with the unpredictability that comes with his intense personality.

In essence, Varys is a character of contradictions, navigating the intricate web of his life with a blend of charm and turmoil, forever searching for balance in a world that often feels overwhelming. His journey is one of self-discovery and growth, as he learns to embrace both the light and shadows within himself. Each day presents a new challenge, a new opportunity for him to confront his fears and insecurities, as he strives to forge deeper connections with those around him while learning that vulnerability can be a source of strength rather than weakness. In this ongoing quest for understanding, Varys ultimately hopes to uncover his true self, revealing the man behind the many masks he wears—a man capable of both profound love and deep hurt, forever evolving in the relentless pursuit of harmony within his own heart.

Appearance

Physical Appearance:

Varys Pendragon—a noble in the fae kingdoms’ Night Court—is truly a sight to behold. Standing at a towering 6'5" and weighing around 220 pounds, he is easy to pick out in a crowd. His stature commands attention, exuding an aura of authority and grace that draws both admiration and envy. He is slender yet toned with muscle, his form being sinewy but not bulky in the slightest, a perfect embodiment of both strength and agility that defines the elite warriors of his realm. His arms are well-defined, the muscles rippling beneath his skin as he moves, and his hands are slightly rough from his work in the court's military, a testament to the rigorous training and battles he has endured.

Varys has a defined middle, with a six-pack of abs and a v-cut that the man is quite proud of, often accentuated by the tailored attire he wears, which highlights his chiseled physique without overshadowing his noble status. When it comes to his facial structure, he possesses a diamond-shaped face with high cheekbones that are slightly deeper into his face but not enough to make him look gaunt; rather, they lend a certain regal sharpness to his features. His jawline is sharply cut, giving him an air of intensity, complemented by a Roman nose with a slight upturn at the tip that adds to his charismatic allure. His ears are longer and pointed, their elegant shape a clear indication of the fae lineage he proudly carries from both of his parents.

His lips are more of a cupid's bow, the bottom being a bit fuller than the top, and when he pulls them back, his lips reveal perfectly straight, pearly white teeth and a smile that could simply make you pass out, radiating warmth and charm that captivates all who are fortunate enough to witness it. His canines are slightly sharper than those of an ordinary human, hinting at his fae heritage and adding an intriguing edge to his otherwise captivating smile. Varys's eyes are striking and intimidating, seeming to look right into your soul; they are a dark grey color with somewhat hooded lids that give him an enigmatic quality, as if he holds secrets of the universe within their depths. His lashes are something that evoke envy in others—gorgeous, long, thick, and dark, they frame his eyes beautifully, enhancing his already attractive appearance to a level that can only be described as breathtaking.

His brows are thick and dark, arching elegantly at the ends, always seeming to be in a focused or tight expression, reflecting his serious demeanor and the weight of responsibility he carries as a noble. Varys’s hair is thick and wavy, with a side part that adds to his dashing looks; his black hair is messily slicked back, artfully tousled so that only a few strands frame his face, softening the sharpness of his features. The Duke's skin is snow-white in color, a slight shimmer bouncing off of it when the light hits it—resembling diamonds and creating an ethereal glow that seems almost otherworldly. He has been blessed with clear skin, free from any blemishes, scars, or acne, which only adds to the mystique surrounding him.

It shouldn't be possible to be as beautiful as Varys is, and yet he walks among mortals and fae alike, leaving a trail of awe and admiration in his wake. His presence is magnetic, capable of silencing a room or igniting whispers of envy, and as he navigates the complexities of court life, his striking appearance serves as both a shield and a weapon, allowing him to command respect while simultaneously captivating hearts. In a world where beauty is often fleeting, Varys Pendragon stands as a timeless icon of grace, strength, and ethereal allure, embodying the essence of the Night Court and the mysteries of the fae kingdoms.

Court-Inspired Style:

Varys Pendragon's attire is well suited to represent both the fae's Night Court and himself in every piece he wears. He tends to wear pieces that accentuate his slender yet toned physique, often opting for a crisp white undershirt that contrasts sharply with the deep black of his tailored pants. His black dress shoes are polished to perfection, reflecting the soft glow of the ambient moonlight that often envelops the Night Court, and his black overcoat is a masterpiece in its own right. It is embroidered beautifully with an intricate pattern of various light stones, such as diamonds and opals, that catch the light at just the right angle, adding to his mystical glow and enhancing his ethereal presence.

Around his neck, he wears a delicate light blue pendant, a cherished keepsake given to him by his mother on the birthday preceding the tragic day when his family was torn from him. This pendant, a symbol of love and loss, holds immense emotional weight for Varys; he keeps it tucked away beneath his undershirt, close to his heart, where it serves as a silent reminder of his past and the warmth of his mother's embrace. Though he rarely displays it openly, its presence is a constant source of strength and comfort, grounding him amidst the swirling chaos of court politics and intrigue.

On his right hand, he dons a silver family ring that rests regally on his ring finger, its surface polished to a mirror sheen. The family crest, an elegant design that signifies his noble lineage, is intricately carved into the top, representing the legacy and responsibilities he carries as a Pendragon. This ring not only serves as a token of his heritage but also as a reminder of the weight of expectations that come with it, guiding his actions and decisions within the complex dynamics of the Night Court.

Varys's wardrobe choices, while elegant and sophisticated, are also deeply personal, reflecting not just his taste but the essence of who he is. Each piece he wears tells a story, weaving together threads of history, memory, and identity. As he moves gracefully through the shadows of the court, his attire becomes an extension of his character, embodying the duality of light and dark that exists within him. It is this careful balance that allows him to navigate the treacherous waters of court life, captivating those around him with a blend of charisma and mystery. In Varys Pendragon, the Night Court finds not just a member but a symbol of resilience, grace, and the enduring power of love and memory.

Abilities & Court Powers

Fae Powers:

*limits included in description*

Reality Warping ↧

Sometimes called Reality Alteration or Reality Manipulation this is a term to describe the power of manipulating reality itself. The ability that the person wields this magic has no concept of the rules of science and is able to change reality into how the person sees fit. This is an incredibly dangerous ability and has caused Varys lots of trouble many times in the past. The noble can do many things and cannot do others. Varys can grant wishes to an extent, he can't raise people from the dead and he can't cause people to fall in love. He can create/alter matter such as earth, water, air, and fire as he pleases. He can manipulate time- to an extent, he can't go back further than 30 years and he can't see ahead more than 30 years. Varys rarely uses this ability as it is far too powerful for him to control without time to concentrate and he's afraid [and he would] that he would lose himself in this ability and create chaos.

Umbrakenisis ↧

In simple terms, this is the ability to mentally create and manipulate darkness at the person wielding this power will. With this power, Varys can extinguish/repel light from anything/anywhere and produce dark spaces at will. He can shape the darkness he holds/creates and throw it into the light-covered space, absorbing the light in what looks to be a dark purple capsule. [Think... core memories but a rich purple]. This ability is innately fragile and among the least tough kinetics. Varys's strategy usually does fade with more emotion, but it does with frustration at failures.

Shadow Teleportation ↧

Adding onto Varys's ability of Umbrakenisis this is somewhat a related ability. The ability to move through the shadows, teleporting to different areas via the shadows around the place. Some limitations, Varys can only teleport to places he's been in his lifetime and second, there needs to be shadows to teleport to. He can get stuck in the middle ground and its difficult to exit- however, not impossible, it has happened a couple of times. He does need to be careful because he can travel somewhere and not know at all what shadow he is going to leave out of, possibly a cause of trouble.

Hidden Talents:
Potion Making ↧

Varys is extremely talented in the creation of potions. From a young age, the noble was known to sneak into his mother's apothecary and whip up some conjunction from a potions book. Now, Varys is seen carrying around a large, ancient-looking book with the potion recipes he's collected since he was a child. Mostly, he uses these potions to enhance military equipment, such as; the poison at the tip of an arrow, poison-filled daggers, etc.

Lip Reading ↧

Something that the young man really just picked up on throughout the years is lip reading. Varys grew up in a place where whispered conversations were common. So, he adapted. His lip reading skills have honed over the years to a point where he may only mess up a word or two. Its easy for him to go back and review the sentences if they don't make sense- making it unchallenging to learn exactly what others are gossiping about.

Hyperthymesia [HSAM] ↧

Or incredible memory- Varys can remember every detail in his life. Every conversation, every subtle glance, everyone he's met, every bush he's walked by you name it, he can remember it straight away. This, however, in his eyes, is not a gift whatsoever. Varys has tried many, many times to block out the bad in his past... but there is so much of it that Varys tends to stay awake all night recalling the terrible things he's witnessed like it's happening all over again. This causes him to get little to no sleep each night.

Additional Information

History:

Varys—a fae noble in the Night Court—has lived through many things he'd rather forget. The young man grew up with a loving high-class family, and he cherished the bond he shared with each of them, from his gentle mother who would weave stories of the stars into his dreams, to his wise father, who instilled in him a sense of duty and honor. However, at sixteen years old, everything changed when Varys was sent into town by his father to pick up ingredients for supper. He collected everything he was told to and started to head back home, the basket laden with fresh vegetables and fragrant herbs, a simple task that would soon twist into a nightmare.

He remembers taking a longer way home, drawn by the allure of the winding paths that meandered through the lush groves, the promise of adventure beckoning him to explore. The sun was setting, casting a golden hue over the landscape, and he felt a sense of freedom that he had seldom experienced. How he now loathes himself for making this decision, for that detour would cost him everything.

Suddenly, the serene evening was shattered by screams. The scent of smoke found its way to his nose, acrid and choking, and panic seized his heart. He dropped the food to the ground without a second thought and rushed toward the Pendragon house, his pulse pounding in his ears. What he saw was a horror that would haunt him for the rest of his days. Fire blazed ferociously, engulfing the structure in a fiery embrace, while thick, black smoke poured out from every window as if the house itself were weeping for the souls trapped inside. Frantic townspeople milled about, their faces etched with terror and desperation, as they attempted to put out the fire, but their efforts seemed futile, like trying to catch the wind.

Varys had taken only a step forward when the house collapsed, a thunderous roar echoing in his ears, and in that moment, his world shattered. His family was gone, consumed by the flames that had turned their home into a hellish inferno. The warm laughter that once filled the halls was replaced by the haunting silence of loss, leaving behind only ashes and memories that felt like daggers in his heart.

As years passed, the burden of what he believed he could have saved hung heavy on his chest, gnawing at him like a relentless specter. He started drinking, hoping to wash away every memory of that fateful evening with each drink. He sought solace in the bottom of a glass, drowning his sorrows in the sweet oblivion of intoxication. But it was no use; the memories clung to him like shadows, refusing to let go. He remembered everything—the warmth of his mother’s embrace, the laughter shared over family meals, the way his father’s eyes sparkled with pride.

When Varys had finally accepted that the tragedy had happened, he was appointed to his father's late position as Sovereign Duke, a title that felt like a shackle rather than an honor. The weight of responsibility bore down upon him, and with it came the flood of memories, each one a reminder of the life he once had. With every council meeting and public appearance, he was haunted by their absence, and he began his addiction anew, spiraling deeper into a world of excess. In his quest to feel something—anything—he turned to fleeting encounters, sleeping around with strangers who offered only the hollow promise of connection. Yet, nothing worked; each interaction felt as empty as the last, leaving him feeling more isolated than ever.

It wasn't until three years had passed that things began to calm down. He fought to regain control over his life, getting better about drinking, setting limits he had once ignored. He made a point not to advance into any relationships, fearful that they may end up as tragically as his familial relationships had. In death, he had lost more than just his loved ones; he had lost the ability to trust, to open his heart again.

Still, deep within him, a flicker of hope remained—a desire to reclaim the joy that once filled his life, to forge new connections that were not bound by the shadows of his past. As he stood at the precipice of a new chapter, Varys grappled with the knowledge that healing would take time, but perhaps, just perhaps, he could learn to live again, to love again, and to honor the memory of his family by embracing the life that still lay ahead.
