- Personality: Ophion is no longer the man he once was. The love and joy he had once felt and that filled his entire being has been extinguished. At one point nothing could've kept Ophion from smiling or ruin his day. He was always the type to look on the bright side and brush aside the negatives. He was a man trapped in the illusion of love. Willing to do anything for the woman he loved. Weren't we all like that at one point? However, after the removal of his heart and the spell that transformed him into the monster he is Ophion has become a broken man. Spending hundreds of years locked away could do that to the strongest of people. Ophion spends day and night searching for a way to break the curse put upon him. Sometimes willing throwing himself into dangerous situations in hopes of dying permanently.
- Appearance: Ophion is a man that stands at six foot even and cuts an intimidating presence to those that have never truly met him. Some have compared Ophion to a demon of the night. His pupilless red eyes resemble that of spilled blood, his skin is a pale gray as though a corpse. Despite being well over 500 years old Ophion still appears to be in his mid-thirties which some would see as a blessing. As such his body is still in the prime of its life and well defined from the times he had spent on battlefields fighting for the Fae. His hair is unruly growing down to the center of his back and in the front reaching his chest. In contrast to this Ophions beard is well taken care of. His teeth are inhumanly sharp to the point where some will confuse him with a vampire though he's very similar to one in many ways.
History: Ophion was a human male born in the lands of Deathain, a land for the mythical Fae and Draconians. Many humans wouldn't have been able to live among them but Ophions family was more privileged than other humans if you could call it that. Since the beginning of the Themis line they have served the Pafras family. Once a prestigious Fae family they used the Themis family as knights and court mages. Each member of the Themis line was blessed by the Fae in one way or another, and it just so happened that the last member of the Themis line, Ophion had drawn the attention of the current queen. Even from the age of three Queen Ivris had her eyes on the young Ophion and his unique magical gifts. He had been a genius due to his ability to perceive things that others couldn't and it allowed Ophion to form his own unique type of magic where overtime he outstripped those that had come before him. There was another family of humans that served the Pafras family, and the youngest of theirs was named Celeste. Her and Ophion had a strong bond and spent nearly all their time together as children. While Ophion's skills in magic continued to grow so too did Ophions swordsmanship.
The relationship between Ophion and Celeste was known to most, especially to Ivris who despised the young swordswoman that encroached on what she considered hers. Their displays of affection had become public and well known among the Fae doing nothing but drawing more avarice from the long lived queen. Often nights she'd sit up spying on the two with her magic seeing the culmination of their love beneath a tree on a moonlit night. At the age of twenty Ophion ascended to the rank of Court Mage serving as the right hand to his queen while Celeste became the General of her forces. One was sent out to battle and the other forced to remain at Ivris' side where she could forever keep her eye on him.
It wasn't very often that Celeste and Ophion got to meet each other yet his devotion to her had never wavered. Even when she was out fighting on battlefields facing death at every turn Ophion held true to their commitment when many wouldn't have. Despite knowing this Ivris still tried to seduce Ophion summoning him to her chambers in the middle of a full moon hoping to finally claim what she'd wanted. None could deny the beautiful and voluptuous Ivris, none except Ophion. It was not a woman's body he wanted it was to be with the one he had loved. Hearing this sent Ivris into a frenzy that made many think she had gone off the deep end. Calling Celeste back from war Ivris ended to ensure that the two would never have their happy ever after if she couldn't.
People could call Ivris many things but they couldn't call her weak. Her magical prowess eclipsed that of Ophion even at the peak of his abilities. Easily subduing her General and her court mage Ivris went about weaving a spell on the eve of a Blood Moon to end the joy of the star-crossed lovers. The spell she cast drew on the power of the blood moon and her own and burying her fist into Ophion's chest she wrapped her talon like fingers around his still beating heart. Ophion on the verge of death could think of only one thing... Celeste, as she was chained before him. The spell called for a sacrifice and the one that would be giving her life was Celeste. Slowly as the life force drained out of her, Ophion was forced to watch. Ivris gathered the energy and with a yank ripped Ophion's heart free of his chest pumping the life force into it. Cursing Ophion to forever walk the earth and keeping him away from the woman he loved... To ensure that he could not get vengeance on her Ivris stabbed a dagger through the heart before placing it in a chest. Sending it off to a far off kingdom Ivris showed no mercy for the one she had once loved and locked him away in his family tomb. It has been centuries since this incident and the Pavrus line was erased not to long after the events. Rumors have spread about a mythical chest blessed by a Fae that contained the heart of a being that would obey the one who held it. Many have searched and just as many lost their lives in search of the heart.
Skills:
- EM knowledge: Ophion has an intimate knowledge of the EM spectrum due to the passive ability of his that allows him to perceive it.
- Fae language: Having been raised around and serving Fae most of his life before his change Ophion is fluent in it.
- Tactical Knowledge: Due to having served as the head knight Ophion had become well versed in the art of tactics.
- Swordsman: Ophion had once been a swordsman, but never a devoted one. He knows enough to get by in a pinch.
Abilities:
- Cursed Physiology: Now that he is no longer a standard mortal Ophion can withstand more than a human could and still survive as long as his heart isn't damaged. Ophion can still die temporary deaths depending on how severe the damage is to his body and can take days to weeks to heal. Limbs grow back the same way usually taking days if the limb isn't reattached. If one has his heart they can essentially control Ophion forcing him to obey by simply speaking their command. Stabbing something into the heart will put Ophion into a coma like state between life and death until said object is removed and if one were to completely destroy the heart Ophion will cease to exist. He no longer has to eat, sleep or even breathe like a human anymore but does it to fit in and escape reality.
- Electromagnetic Spectrum: Ophion can perceive the Electromagnetic Spectrum, however this can not be turned off and at times depending on the surroundings can become overwhelming for him.
- Lightning strike: Ophion can create a torrent of lightning from his fingers that can severely burn targets. However he can only use this ability 3 times a day.
Equipment:
- Iron Sword
