Profile
Vex was supposed to be here to take care of someone. To assure a life of whimsy and fun. Loyalty laced into his veins, closed eyelids painted with the image of another. He was helpful, needed, friendly. He did everything he could, as much as his fiery personality would allow, at least.
Heart twisted deep into the roots of another, beating in tandem and making him fearful of his position. Love was not on the table; attachment was inevitable, but love was a never an option. At least, that's what he told himself. Love could not live in him, because if he let it, then surely he would be ripped away from this position. He could be loyal, he could be loving, he could sew their souls together like a quilt, but he wasn't supposed to go further.
A heart is strange. Despite protest and battle, it beats regardless. No matter the way he tried to push it back, to dam the emotions before they could bubble up, they overflowed.
"What if I think I love you?"
Vex is a nuisance, and he loves it that way. He has his attachments to some people, and they get it worse- and better- than others. He loves to play pranks and pretend to be mean, but often has trouble understanding when he's pushed it too far. This results in him overstepping boundaries and needing to be reeled back in and eventually apologizing in his own non-apology way. He prefers acts and favors over words, so he will try to go out of his way to give a reason for people to forgive him.
He named himself after the two most annoying things he could think of; the fae-like creatures used by Evokers in battle, and the demons of dreamless nights. This was some kind of defense; picking something that could make people understand at a glance that he was someone unpleasant to be around- except, it has slightly backfired. Even if he would NEVER admit to it, the associations have started to weigh on him, after so long of fighting to be known and relevant. Yes, he knows that he is not a good person, and that other people should have some warning- but...
Anyways, he is a very jumpy guy, easily scared by sudden sounds and noises, which typically make him flit off into the nearest high perch for safety.
- i highly suggest just looking at the linked reference, HOWEVER, i have recently decided that his head wings can ALSO present as feathered ears! you are free to draw him with these, instead.
