TYMENWYTH
"WHAT IS YOUR DESIRE?"
NOPE
Character Basics:
Age: N/A
Race: Djinn / Shaitan / Ifrit
Sexuality: Pansexual
Role: From Wish giver - To Master
Physical Description:
This shadowy creature of smoke and darkness has no corporeal form. It is the darkest patch of shadow against the wall, the eyes gleaming from out the corner of any room.
Distinctive abilities:
1) A powerful Magical arsenal. 2) Wish granting, but with a twist: The wisher will come to harm, or may have to pay a terrible price for their wish.
Character Goals:
How is your character dissatisfied with their life?
Tymenwyth is trapped, their power confined to the lamp they bound themselves to an age ago.
What does your character believe will bring them true happiness or contentment?
Freedom, power and dominion.
What definitive steps could they take to turn their dreams into reality?
Trick someone into freeing them.
How has their fear kept them from taking this action already?
The Djinn does not wish to wait another thousand years for the next person to discover them.
Personality:
What is his type?
It's more fun to corrupt those that think they are in control, that think THEY have the power over the Djinn.
What is their greatest fear?
Being forced to rot another thousand years trapped under the dunes.
What is their misbelief about the world?
Everyone and everything in this world Is my play thing once I get out.
What happened in their past to make them believe this lie?
They were a powerful ruler over an ancient kingdom long since buried under the sands. In life, they did as they wished without consequence.
What do they most often criticize others for?
Thinking themselves smarter than the Djinn.
How do they respond to emotional pain?
By taking it out on others.
Top-Three things he values most in life:
The freedom to do as he wishes - Obedience from the lesser beings - Debauchery
Is there an object he cannot bear to part with and why?
The lamp he bound his soul to. It's his phylactery, should anything happen to it, he would be destroyed.
What is his method of manipulation?
Tymenwyth will lull his victims into believing themself in control. He'll tempt them over time to use more and more power, to exploit the magics and those around them for the wish makers short-term benefit. Slowly but surely corrupting them over-time with its subtle malignant influence over them.
Background:
Long, long ago. When the endless dunes were sprawling oceans, there lay a kingdom like no other, whose walls were all built of resplendent gold. Whose battlements housed millions of sconces alit in blue-white angel flame. There was a ruler over all, a great, but terrible wizard of unrivaled power.
That Kingdom went the way of all Kingdoms, it fell. The dictator that ruled it fell along with it, or so it seemed. You might not think much of the silver lamp when at first you pick it up. It's polished nicely, but otherwise just a normal unremarkable lamp. That's by design. A single word is etched along the chrome base of the lamp. "Tymenwyth".

ENARION DAN'TEAZEL
"WHILST YOU'RE UNDER MY ROOF, YOU WILL BEHAVE LIKE A PROPER LADY. "
NOPE
Character Basics:
Age: 48
Race: Underworld Human
Sexuality: Mostly Heterosexual
Role: Slave owner - Court schemer - Evil Sorcerer - Classic lawful evil villain.
Physical Description:
You'll rarely catch the man in anything less than resplendent elegance. He has a daunting Aura that exudes power, authority, and grace. Enarion has the Dan'Teazel blue-fire eyes, a sign of the dark power held within the bloodline since after they sided with the dark lord during the start of the resurgent wars.
Pallid white skin pulls neatly over a handsome and regal face. The older man is built broadly, a sign of his soldiering days during his youth. A magical sigil is burned into his forehead, its meaning lost to most, save those foolish enough to delve too deep into the darkest of magical tomes.
Describe a typical outfit:
His attire is a reflection of his status and is designed to intimidate and awe those around him.
He likes to wear a long, flowing black robe made of the finest silk, adorned with intricate silver embroidery. The robe is trimmed with black fur around the collar, adding an element of luxury and warmth. The sleeves are wide and billowing, allowing for dramatic gestures whilst spell casting. His neck is usually sporting a silver amulet, which is inset with a large black gemstone that seems to pulse with dark power. The amulet is said to contain the essence of a powerful demon, which the lord has bound to his will. Not so. . .
Distinctive abilities:
Aside from the death the man can weave together through his spell craft, Enarion's greatest weapon is his guile.
Character Goals:
How is your character dissatisfied with their life?
A lust for power has always left the man wanting for more, despite his achievements. He also serves a cruel and unpredictable master, where the consequences of failure are much worse than just dismissal.
What does your character believe will bring them true happiness or contentment?
Keep playing the game. Enarion enjoys the court intrigue that comes from serving under the demon lord as his castle steward. He finds it satisfying to plot and then enact the destruction of his political enemies.
Personality:
What is his type?
It depends on his mood. Sometimes a meek and shy creature, who blushes when he cups their chin and forces their gazae. Other times, he enjoys breaking in a rambunctious and rebellious slave, one whom has not yet learned their proper place.
What is their greatest fear?
That his actions, or those of his family bring about the wrath of the demon lord.
What is their misbelief about the world?
The strong dominate the weak.
What happened in their past to make them believe this lie?
He learned this through pedigree and a life of villainy.
What do they most often criticize others for?
Disrespect and poor manners.
What is their love language?
Words of affection: Tell him how wonderful and powerful he is.
How do they respond to emotional pain?
He will take it out on another.
Top-Three things he values most in life:
Power - His status - His family.
What is his method of manipulation?
Blackmail and intimidation

Theo West
"I'M IN FIRST GEAR RIGHT NOW, SHALL WE SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I GO INTO SIXTH?."
NOPE
Character Basics:
Age: 42
Race: White
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Role: Protector
Physical Description:
He's in great shape for a 42-year-old, when he's not getting shot at for being a drug dealer, that is. He has nice, Hazel blue eyes, pale skin dusted lightly with freckles about the shoulders. Dark brown hair that always seems to look a little wet from the styling product he uses. He has an overall broad and rugged look.
Describe a typical outfit:
A white tanktop, that shows off the gothic ink on his big arms. Light blue jeans, and white Nikes. Silver thumb rings and a silver chain.
Distinctive abilities:
Deceptively well educated despite appearances. Theo is an accomplished self-taught chemist. Theo cooks up his own brand of narcotics, mainly meth and cannabis.
Character Goals:
How is your character dissatisfied with their life?
Theo's lonely, and he's past 40 with no wife and kids. He doesn't want to be that lonely old guy with nobody looking after him in a few decades.
What does your character believe will bring them true happiness or contentment?
The love of a good woman, someone kind who could give him the affection he craves, a stabilizing influence in his chaotic world.
What definitive steps could they take to turn their dreams into reality?
He could sign up to a dating app. He could buy a new home and pretend to work a normal job.
How has their fear kept them from taking this action already?
What if he can't find anyone interested? He's past his prime, what if there isn't anyone out there for Theo? And even if he DOES find someone, what if she finds out who he really is…and leaves him.
Personality:
What is his type?
Theo has always had a thing for shyness in the girls he dates. He also likes feeling like the protetor.
What is their greatest fear?
His niece is his world, shes like a daughter to him. He's worried that harm will come to her because of the dangerous wold he lives in. That would be all his fault.
What is their misbelief about the world?
Bad things happen to good people.
What happened in their past to make them believe this lie?
His brother died in a hit and run, whilst he…the drug dealer is still alive and thriving.
What do they most often criticize others for?
Being wasteful. He knows what its like to have nothing.
What is their love language?
Quality time: Theo doesn't like to be left alone with his thoughts for too long.
How do they respond to emotional pain?
Self-sabotage, usually in the form of gambling and alcohol abuse.
Top-Three things he values most in life:
His niece - His friends - His freedom from the system.
What is his method of manipulation?
Bribery and intimidation
Background:
Theo West was born and raised in a small town on the outskirts of Florick (PA). His parents, both hardworking and religious, had high hopes for their son. However, Theo was always the black sheep of the family. He struggled in school and often got into trouble with the law. His parents tried their best to help him, but eventually they reached their breaking point.
One day, someone shot at their house while Theo was inside. His parents, fed up with his lifestyle and the danger it brought to their family, kicked him out. Theo was devastated, but he had no choice but to leave. He had nowhere to go and no one to turn to.
With few options available to him, Theo turned to a life of crime. He started small, selling drugs on the streets to make ends meet. But he quickly proved himself to be a capable and ruthless criminal. He rose through the ranks, eventually becoming a made man with his own crew and brand of narcotic to sell.
Despite his success, Theo was never able to shake the feeling of loneliness and isolation. He longed for a sense of family and belonging, but he knew he could never go back to his parents. He threw himself into his work, becoming more and more ruthless in his pursuit of power and wealth.
Now in his forties, Theo is at the top of his game. He has a successful criminal empire and a loyal crew who would do anything for him. But his life takes an unexpected turn when his brother is killed in a hit-and-run accident, along with his wife. Theo steps up to take care of his niece, who is now an orphan.
Despite his rough exterior, Theo is determined to be a good father figure to his niece and provide her with a stable home. He knows that he can't change the past, but he's hoping that he can make a better future for her. He struggles with the weight of his past and the choices he's made, but he's determined to do right by his niece and make amends for his mistakes.

Aryarie
"Yes, the tea is supposed to taste funny."
NOPE
Character Basics:
Age: 112
Race: Female Altmer (high elf)
Sexuality: Pansexual
Role: Shop owner, slave owner, Black-Market Alchemist
Physical Description:
Aryarie stands at an imposing 6.5ft and is built (thanks to her healthy lifestyle) like an athlete, despite her occupation. She has the pale golden-hue skin tone of her race, along with the large, bird-like golden orbs that glint with intelligent malice. Her hair is sandy blonde and styled traditionally in Altmeri fashion. She carries herself like a soldier, often with her shoulders pulled back as she stands to rigid attention by habit.
Describe a typical outfit:
When traveling, the high-born lady will wear a dark, long-sleeved, mid-calf-length travel coat suitable for long treks along Cyrodiil's roads. She'll wear with it those dark brown leather boots she likes so much, the ones with multiple buckles for optimal comfort. Almost finally, she'll never leave the shop without her trusty brown leather satchel slung neatly over her shoulder to rest against her hip. It's also often appropriate for 'Ary' to wear a brown or red travel cape draped around her shoulders like a poncho.
Distinctive abilities:
She's a competent spellcaster, Most Altmer are. It's her skill at Alchemy though, that makes her a true danger. It weaponises her guile, and aids in her schemes for mischief and maximised profit.
Character Goals:
How is your character dissatisfied with their life?
Aryarie is bored, her life is nice and safe, and dull now.
What does your character believe will bring them true happiness or contentment?
She will find fulfillment by pushing the boundaries of her knowledge through unethical experimentation, all in the name of Alchemical discovery!
Personality:
What is her type?
The more stubborn and willful, the better; all the more fun to break them.
What is their greatest fear?
Discovery by the watch, she'd have to flee the town and her shop.
What is their misbelief about the world?
Anything is possible through alchemy, the greater science.
What happened in their past to make them believe this lie?
During a great battle, a healing potion saved Aryarie from succumbing to a fatal chest wound. It brought her back from the cusp of death, and instilled a powerful respect for the craft of alchemy that day onward.
What do they most often criticize others for?
Messiness. There is no room for a. . .a dirty, messy, rotten slob under her roof.
What is their love language?
Words of affection - Tell her how clever she is.
Physical touch - Worship her body like a temple to Mara.
How do they respond to emotional pain?
By taking her anger out on others.
By scheming another's downfall.
Top-Three things she values most in life:
Her Amulet of 'mind-reading' - Her Shop - Her Diary of schemes
What is her method of manipulation?
Alchemical agents with varying mind-altering effects.
