Zantaric / Shea Ru, a mage of minor consequence

Another portrait

*and it's so easy when you're evil
this is the life you see
the devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil
and I do it all for free
your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
*

{NAME}
Something that has long since been lost to the ages. Now, he goes almost exclusively by his title. When he's not... borrowing... names.

{ALIASES}
"Shea Ru"

{AGE}
Who even knows. Definitely old enough to be a member of the AARP I'll tell you that much.
But eh, if we're talking what he looks like, he's been calling himself 32 for way too long.

{GENDER, SEXUALITY}
Refers to himself in the masculine, though there have been entire decades where he was feminine. Definitely favors being a dude, though.
His sexuality is an entirely complicated other matter.

{SPECIES/ETHNICITY}
His "favorite" body is a Connlaothian man but lmao that's about as close to a guess as you're gonna get.

{HEIGHT/BUILD}
6'4", sickly skinny.

{OCCUPATION}
  • Former priest
  • Perpetual student
  • Magical teacher/tutor
  • Part time healer and potion maker
  • Biologist
  • Grave-robber
  • Necromancer
  • Lich
{RESIDENCE}
He's on the loose and that is what makes me lose sleep at night.

{MISC STUFF!}
Voice claim: RED DEATH

___________
IN DEPTH STUFF
___________


{PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION}
Assuming he's wearing his favourite, Shea Ru is a tall man, pale almost to the point of being ashen, with piercing grey eyes and long, straight black hair. He keeps parts of it dyed a bright violent red, and the color makes continuing appearances in his daily dress.

Assuming he's being "himself", Shea Ru is a mass of blood and floating blood vessels, congealed together to form a skeleton.

{PERSONALITY}
Independent, inquisitive, curious, polite but cold and surprisingly... honest. He may not tell you the full truth in one go, but he never directly lies. His tone of speech is proper, his vocabulary is extensive, but he's not pretentious about it. Everything to him is a learning opportunity, and he will never ever try and stifle that.

He doesn't get genuinely angry often, but when he does, it is a dark, cold, calculating and utterly malevolent sort of anger. The kind of anger that will have him kill a person in their sleep and turn their corpse into a mindless marionette whose entire purpose is to scrub the inside of his toilet.

Fun Facts!:
  • Loves Thanati food. Can't get enough of it.
  • Has a cat that looks like it should have died fifteen years ago.
  • His Connloathian body is never without a wedding ring.
  • Plays the violin for funsies, as all overly dramatic villains must do.

{SPECIAL ABILITIES}
Once a potent cleric to an old and bloody god, nowadays Shea Ru is just magic. And undead.

{RELATIONSHIPS}

Mei Yi - His "little inquisitor". He's very fond of her, though for good or ill remains to be seen.

Haskill - His long-suffering zombie manservant.

Blood Family

Irdel Abidan - his late wife, once a valiant knight sworn to defend the people of Connlaoth against evil witches and the ravenous undead. She was executed by the townsfolk she once protected when they found out she married a mage.

Kyrrha Abidan - his young daughter, who was only eight years old when the same townsfolk burned their house down with her inside...
...Or so Shea thought.

{HISTORY}
Huge. Full of terrible things. Murders people and takes over their bodies to play at different lives for a while.

TAKE TAKE TAKE

What types of plots are you interested in playing?

Go dark or go home, but I am not at all opposed to goofy asides. Dignity is not a word I am familiar with.

What types of plots are you not interested in playing?

I'm not quite sure, yet.

How often can you reply to any given thread?

Likely only a few times a day, with possible off days. Life is life.

What is the longest you're willing to wait for a reply to a thread?

Indefinitely.

Are you open to RPing over instant messengers? If so, what's the best way to contact you and what times are you generally available?

Certainly, just PM to ask.

Are you open to post volleying?
(Where you and another player post rapidly back and forth in a thread with each other. If so, what's the best way to set that up?)

Again, I'm not sure just when I'd be able to achieve that, so it's probbo best not to get your hopes up for one.

Anything else?

Mostly just to stretch my old RP muscles, man, I'm down for most anything.

GO GO GO

What are you limits regarding powerplay/godmoding?
(For instance, do you mind if someone grabs your character? Picks them up? Punches them?)

Go dark or go home. I'm not opposed to scarring injuries, but I'd prefer checking in beforehand if it's something intensely debilitating (paralyzing, killing, etc.). Just know that my characters will react in a fitting way.

What are your limits in regards to romantic situations?
(What are you comfortable with and not comfortable with? Do you prefer to pre-plot relationships or let them happen organically? Are you open to IC-rejection or love-triangles? Age differences? Etc.)

Oh, I love organic relationships. If you're more comfortable 'betrothing' a pair, that's not a problem, either. I'm pretty much aiming to get down into the grittiest bits of humanity I can.

What are your limits in regards to sex?
(Do you prefer to imply it, fade to black, or play it out? Is there anything you won't write?)

I draw the line at fetishistic stuff, but am pretty comfortable with erotic roleplay.

What are your limits in regards to pregnancy within plots?
(Are you okay with pregnancy in plots? Miscarriages? Loss?)

Oh, for sure. But you might want to check in beforehand to make sure that's... physically possible.

What are your limits in regards to violent scenes?
(Are you comfortable with violent scenes? Do you prefer to imply it, fade to black, or play it out? Is there anything you won't write?)

I looove dark and gory, again, just so long as it's not like. Fetishistic.

What are your limits in regards to abuse/rape in plots?
(Are you comfortable with such themes? Do you prefer to avoid them? Do you prefer to imply it, fade to black, or play it out?)

This has to be discussed beforehand, because I genuinely require that my RP partner understand the ramifications of such an act and treat it with the proper respect and delicacy such a traumatizing event deserves. I don't do rape as a fetish - EVER.

Are you okay with characters being transformed against their will?
(Think vampires and werewolves. Should a player ask before attempting to turn your character?)

Yeah, please ask. Because certain things might not... be physically possible.

What about healing?
(For instance, if someone plays a blind character they may not want people to try and "cure" the character.)

Oh, no, have fun with that. Just don't count on certain results.

Anything else?
(Anything else you want to add that other players should know!)

I'm pretty laid back on most things, but definitely feel free to drop me a PM if you need anything. I'm also most active on the site Discord, so feel free to drop me a DM if that's easier.
