Arenvel Arnoldii

[Arenvel]

Arenvel Arnoldii Physical Overview- Male Symenestra Born the 14th of Spring, 490 AV Height:5'11" Weight:121 lbs. Hair:White Eyes:Amethyst Appearance- Arenvel Arnoldii is wanton vanity, apparent in every strand of purposely-tousled silver that drapes over his pallid flesh and violet stare. At full extension, this devout Symenestra reaches a height of 5’11” and weighs a delicate 121 lbs. His facial features seem softer than most of his race with high cheekbones and full cheeks tracing along a rigid jawline that ends in a rounded chin. When not restraining himself for a potential surrogate, he is quick to remind outsiders of the beauty of the Symenestra. Boasting his long slender arms and midnight black claws amidst brilliant flashes of argent fangs. He takes extensive pride in elegance, not just in his form but his clothing as well; embroidering tiny details into every ensemble while favoring gold and white thread on red and black cloth. Personality To his people, Arenvel is a patient and penitent man who’s practiced hand as the second born serves his familial bond in reverent honor of the Viratassa. Though amiable enough, often conversations seem weightless around him as if he were merely going through the motions of speaking for the benefit of the listener. Most dismiss his demure demeanor as a coping mechanism for the long absence of his twin brother. In part, they are right. Even without his fervent beliefs, the bond he shares with his blood relative has left a gash in his heart that he hopes will soon be refilled with Delyvir's return. In a small way, Arenvel is jealous of his brother’s opportunities and longs for the chance to attend a Harvest. To outsiders he is cold, often mistrusting of their intentions. Though he can’t resist the opportunity to spread the Viratassa. Even when his guard is lowered he remains on uneasy ground, certain that they will turn on him. Some of the curses from the ungrateful surrogates kept in the Nest has soured his opinion of other races, and though he strives for equality among all, he can't help but initially despise those who aren't of his people. He views all others as inferior by their failure to adhere to the sanctity of bloodshed making him into a bit of a racist as well. A devout follower of the Viratassa, Arenvel believes that all life is destined for sacrifice and it is only worthy if given in furtherance of life. Though not opposed to spilling blood, he will always strive to avoid it should it be deemed unnecessary. In every choice where life hangs in the balance he will side with the one serving the greatest good to the greatest number, though his standards are slightly skewed in favor of his people. In this way he feels no remorse in the murder committed at the use of surrogates, believing that each life given saves many more. He is not above using any means necessary to achieve this goal, including lawbreaking. History Arenvel was born on the 14th day of Spring, 490 AV into the Arnoldii web just moments after his brother, Delyvir. Their parents, Revylor and Arelissian, foolishly conceived instead of waiting for a surrogate. Arenvel first tasted blood just four seconds after being born. The two spent their youth together, Arenvel always chasing after Delyvir. Arenvel the lost and Delyvir the favorite. He was charismatic, a natural leader, strong and very independent. Everything Arenvel was not. At the tender age of six, Delyvir tricked him into believing that the reason for the unpopularity was because of how grotesque he looked. Never stopping to think that his identical twin would suffer the same ailment, Arenvel took to covering his face as often as he could. This didn't stop until he was 16, but since then he developed a fascination with masks and changing his face. The time spent in remedial education passed by with little of note. Though Arenvel did learn a distaste for the common language. Even upon completion of his basic conversational understanding, he was never able to fully hide his thick accent. Being second born, Arenvel was trained in the Viratassa and although he greatly enjoyed it, his heart harbored a jealousy for the harvest reserved for his brother to undertake. He was tasked with preparing and performing the rituals while his brother was trained in many different ways to capture surrogates for the Arnoldii web which had grown to include two surrogate sisters. During his basic education, Arenvel found a talent for sewing and developed a passion for designing ornate clothing. At 15 and fresh out of school he took up a job as a tailor while reserving time to act as Spiritual Adviser to his familial web. When off duty he visited the Nest often, learning the magic discipline of Morphing from Swyph Quercus. And between bestowing blessings upon the surrogates he took time to question Swyph about understanding the strange, and in his opinion, uglier races. At 19 he married a female Symenestra, Bessany from the Orchid web. She walked into his stall and poked around at his delicate lace designs, expressing interest in their craftsmanship. He was never able to mutter more than a few words to her, so she would take her leave but she was always back the next day. In time he fell in love with her, often incorporating her into his work, at each meeting he would tell himself to work up the nerve to talk to her only to shut down when she finally showed. Then one day she didn't come in to the store. Frantic and certain of the worst, Arenvel closed up shop and planned to run down to find her house. The moment he stepped outside the door, sweat dripping from his ashen skin he saw her. The two are currently awaiting his brothers return with a surrogate so they can conceive and raise a family.
