Appearance
Nael is a gaunt half-elf with pale, sickly skin and eyes that flicker with an unnatural violet light. A jagged, obsidian-colored scar runs from his solar plexus up to his shoulder, often smoking with a faint, wispy miasma. He wears dark, functional silks and worn leather armor that seems to absorb the light around him.
Mannerisms
Nael tends to tilt his head when looking at people, as if observing how they might look as a corpse. He moves with a silent, gliding gait that makes no sound even on gravel.
Personality
He is quiet and predatory, possessing a charisma that feels more like a threat than a charm. Nael rarely raises his voice, instead relying on a cold, steady intensity to dominate conversations. He views others as either tools for his entropy or obstacles to be cleared with surgical precision.
Ideals
Freedom. No cage will ever hold me again, and I will shatter the cages of the world with my own hands.
Bonds
The dragon-lich within me is my only true companion, for its survival is linked to mine.
Flaws
I am deeply detached from the value of living things, seeing mortality as an ending I am destined to hasten.
Quirks
Background
Born to a forgotten lineage, Nael was once a common thief until he was caught and cast into the darkest oubliette of Argian. In the absolute silence of his cell, something from the void between life and death reached out to him. This entity, a decaying draconic force known as Argian's Entropy, offered him freedom in exchange for becoming its vessel. The pact was sealed by a necrotic scar that nearly claimed his life, burning a permanent doorway into his flesh. Now, Nael walks the world as a revenant of his former self, an agent of inevitable decay who can draw a sword of dragon bone and shadow directly from his own chest. His path is one of reclaiming the power stolen from him in prison, guided by the whispering hunger of the dragon soul that shares his body.
