Belxibis
Return to Aether's Heart
Creator: soundofmind
Roleplay: Aether's Heart
Nickname: Bel
Name: Belxibis
Age: 33
Gender: Male
Up For Love: ehhhhhh
Prophecy Role: The Forsaken
Appearance: Belxibis is 6ft 4in, not including his horns, which arch out from his temples above his head. He has shining gold eyes, deep blue skin, and a small scar on his chin. He's got dark blue curly hair that sweeps back from his forehead, with strands that frame his face. He also has a semi-long tail, more akin to that of a lizard. He's big and strong and wears silver plated armor with a long-sword at his side.
Personality: Belxibis is charming, chivalrous, and charismatic, but always keeps an air of mystery about him. He cracks a lot of jokes and has very thick skin - it takes a lot to ruffle his feathers. He's used to looking out for himself, so he tends to hold people at a distance. He's used to receiving many types of rejection, so he's very slow to trust.
Powers: Righteous Rage. When he is overcome with fury, he becomes an unnaturally strong destructive force that is nearly unstoppable. He doesn't feel pain while in this state and is able to wield his weapon with a speed and power he can't seem to achieve outside of it. Once he calms down, any injuries he sustained will take effect on him and his energy will likely be completely depleted. It will take him a considerable amount of time to recharge, and he won't remember a thing about what happened while Righteous Rage is in use.
Strengths: Belxibis is very personable and good at directing conversations in ways that he deems favorable or useful. He can be very persuasive, but also effectively deceitful - which isn't necessarily a good thing, but he's good at selling a lie. Belxibis trained himself how to fight, and had to learn everything himself through trial and error. Because of this he's very resourceful.
Weaknesses: Belxibis can be a big flake. Committing to something and sticking with it has never been his strong suit. He tends to jump into things without realizing what it all entails. Impulsive.
Personal Quest: He just wants enough money and resources to make a home for himself somewhere where he can be alone and no one can bother him or be bothered by his presence.
Personal Secret: Belxibis can’t read or write. He's also ridiculously lonely, but will never admit to it.
History: For most of Belxibis's life, he's been on his own. Belxibis lived a large portion of his life without a name until he gave himself one, naming himself after a star. He was quickly abandoned at birth, and doesn't remember much of his childhood, but he remembers heat and sand, and he knows he's spent his whole life fighting. If asked, he'll tell people he's from the Great Western Desert. He's spent his whole life on the road, never staying in one place too long, and never getting to know anyone too well - not that anyone was ever too eager to get to know him anyways, with him being a tiefling. As much as he can manage, he tries to be a sell-sword, but he's found more trouble offering his services than by just existing on the fringes of society. Fortunately, he found a niche need to meet - smuggling illegal magical items to mages and others interested in forbidden types of magic. As someone of his status, he doesn't feel he has much to lose being associated with less savory practices.
When he does venture into civilization, it's only to get supplies, money, or to meet with a client. Much of his personality is formed as a way to disarm people and make himself seem more "human," and less fearful (or at worst, hated).
Other: In his travels, when alone, he sings to pass the time.
