Vhast Proctor

[Vhast]

Basic Information Name: Vhast Proctor Race: Human Age: 18 Height: 5'10" Date of Birth: 20th of Spring, 494 AV Appearance Like most of Proctor descent, Vhast is decorated by a thick mop of glossy black hair that enriches the deep-moss green of his eyes. Still tethered to his youth, his fair skin remains undefiled by scar or wrinkle, a quality due in no small part to a pampered and strictly nourished upbringing in Ravok. Lean of build, Vhast lacks in athletic capability. Instead he boasts a discernible cleverness not found by many his age, etched into the grain of each iris that brightens with every mischievous smile he casts. Vhast often suffers from a lack of sleep, his mind restless over the unspeakable betrayal by his own mother. What little rest he does manage is plagued by a single recurring nightmare, recounting the events that took place over and over in his mind. The road to Zeltiva has not been kind to him, and his father has been of little help. What clothes he managed to bring with him have become worn and wrinkled, his composure faltering, giving him the appearance of a young man descended from the balconies of grace and poise. Concept Groomed from noble Ravokian stock, there is an air of hubris about Vhast that no amount of humility has been able to cure. Though not boastful of his exploits and accomplishments, Vhast views the world with but the slightest trace of disdain etched in his composure. Fighting to stay above mortal woes, the pedestal on which he places himself consistently forces him to be a perfectionist in all his academic endeavors. Failure is met with stiff and deprecating reprisal, while victory is little more than a passable attempt. Somewhat mercifully, Vhast holds only himself to this unattainable paradigm. Or so it seems. To his peers, teachers, and everything in between, Vhast can be quite charming if just a touch too inquisitive. Always questioning though rarely challenging, at times his inquiries find their way beneath the skin. It is simply within his nature to ingest all the information he can, a sometimes ravenous look befalling him whenever his curiosities become piqued. To others it can feel somewhat like being analyzed beneath a magnifying glass, a path leading down a dark road towards personal demons the subject in question would rather keep hidden. It has been his youthful innocence that has saved him from reprimand in the past, but now teetering on a socially accepted adulthood, there is no telling how one might react. Born the middle child with an elder sister and younger brother, Vhast was often the scapegoat to his mother's frustrations when either sibling misbehaved. It instilled within him a touch of quiet rebellion so as to make him feel worthy of the discipline he received. To further instigate his dissent however, his father's favoritism towards him and his actions helped to solidify the behavior, allowing it to accompany Vhast to the present. Though he does not actively seek trouble, it has become a conventional response to those who wish to impugn him. It is only with a collected conscience that he has been able to keep himself from behaving mutinously towards his instructors' reprisals.

Relationships Ander Proctor Vhast's father and the reason the boy is still alive. Once a proud banker at one of Ravok's oldest firms, his life has since fallen into abhorrent disrepair. When father and son escaped from Ravok, Ander's flesh was cursed by Rhysol. Now plagued by his darkest fears, he has cast the boy away from him as a final act of mercy. Living in disdainful squalor as a beggar in Nyka, his mind has begun to deteriorate ever so slowly. If there is one person who has suffered more than Vhast in the Proctor household, it is him. Eliza Proctor (Valdinox) So committed to her faith in Rhysol that she would sacrifice her own son in tribute, Eliza comes from a long line of prestigious zealots, liars, and murderers. As beautiful on the outside as she is fanatical within, she upholds her lord's tenets to the finest degree. Nothing else, be it her duty to family or country, stands before her devotion. It has even been rumored that she holds tea with The Voice once a week to discuss their god's plans, though this is most likely outlandish speculation. Shaelyn Proctor Gavin Proctor
