Valus

[Valus]

Valus Appearance Race: Nuit Gender: Currently Male Age: 810 Birthday: 56, Winter, 310 BV. Birthplace: Alahea Empire Appearance: No matter what host Valus takes or where he travels he wears thick body concealing robes and a metallic mask. It was a habit he picked up about a century after he was changed into a Nuit and is something he has done ever since. He will go to extensive lengths to keep his mask on and to conceal every inch of skin he can. For most of his hosts he selects people, usually human, who possessed a healthy way of living and will spend at least an hour each day devoted to caring for his body. He is not fettered by concepts like gender any longer, he'll take a female body if it looks appealing. In fact his favorite hosts are Konti as he finds they tend to last longer than most before replacement is needed. Current Host: Currently his host is a human male that is about 6'0", very slender, and possesses blonde hair and blue eyes. Character Concept A dark minded scholar of magic, Valus is a very driven example of a Nuit who's drive is found in the desire to explore every facet of magic. His devotion to his studies is extremely single minded, almost to a frightening degree. Like most Nuit Valus is extremely anti-social, viewing prolonged contact with others as an annoyance he would prefer to avoid. He tends to take a very dim view of those who waste his time, writing off such people as annoyances of the highest caliber. In the same vein he tends to possess a large disdain for mortals by default, as he views many of them as too chatty and irritating. With his devotion to his research he has absolutely no problem working on Sahova, seeing it as a paradise of knowledge and quiet solitude. When outside of Sahova he is very quick to irritate and will not suffer fools for long. Those who manage to earn his loyalty either have something he wants or possess goals aligned with his. Valus is not one to be swayed by causes and cares little for the plight of the living, if anything moves him to action it is only because he sees some profit or benefit for him in the long run. Character History Pre-Creation Much of Valus' past is a mystery, even to his closest colleagues which is just how he likes it. Valus lived before the Valterrian in the mighty Alahea Empire, a mere scholar in life. His life was changed when he met a woman called Selana, a woman who seemed to possess the same drive for knowledge he did. Selana was also a powerful Nuit wizard, the one responsible for turning him into a Nuit actually by virtue of her ichor. The process was very much unwilling as it had been an experiment on his entire family, to see how successful consuming ichor would be in producing a Nuit. His family dead, Valus immediately possessed a drive in his unlife, to slay Selana and avenge his family. This game of cat and mouse played out well past the Valterrian, with Valus growing more powerful and knowledgeable as the centuries passed by. After many centuries of chasing Selana across the continent Valus eventually found himself less and less interested in avenging the deaths of his family and more interested in magic. So he ceased his chase of the other Nuit and began researching magic, falling into dark research. Having long ago thrown away his ties to humanity he was unfettered in his methods, many of which involved human test subjects. Eventually his search for knowledge led him to Sahova, where he hopes to further his research and to discover new frontiers of magic. Valus possesses a keen memory and could easily write a library worth of knowledge and history if he cared to. Currently he is looking to advance his alchemical research, however he is also open to learning more about personal magic, which he knows very little about.
