THEME content

Darius lives a peculiar existence as a werewolf, wielding sorcery in one hand and an ancient tome in the other. It's a rather cruel fate in a world hostile to werewolves, yet Darius never let the whole Lycanthropy thing get in the way of his work as a scholar, even if he is trapped in a canine form. He's a gentle and kind and gentle soul trapped as a magically-adept werewolf who professes a passion for learning and all things academic. An encounter with mysterious assailants left him stabbed with a dagger tainted with ancient Lycanthropy and left to die.
Darius gradually came to take his new form in stride, seeing it as a another thing to live with, continuing his research and studies, this time as a drifter. Sometimes his form helped him avoid unnecessary conflicts while other times it only attracted them. Stangely, Darius lacks much of the raw brute force Werewolves are known for; instead, he relies on his spells and mind games. Though Darius would encounter persons and settlements more accepting on his appearance, he wanders about in sorcerer robes and cloak to conceal his looks from hateful eyes.

PERSONALITY


Despite being a magical creature that supposively lives off of primal, carnal instincts, Darius is an intelligent and sensible being, favoring settling matters through words rather than action. As a scholar from Auralis, he is knowledgable in a multitude of topics and has an eternal thirst for learning. He is a very gentle and kind being, often doing his best to be considerate and to help whoever is in need, though he is not the best at navigating social tightropes. One should not assume he will never resort to the latter, as for what he lacks in brawn he makes up in brains, having an arsenal of magical spells at his disposal, combined with quick thinking can render him as a dangerous opponent. Despite his timid optimism, he often interally wonders if the insults are true, that he has no place in the world or in anybody's heart.

DESIGN NOTES

BACKSTORY

PRE-LYCANTHROPY

Darius was born to a modest family in a small village within Auralis Kingdom. His early life was unremarkable, but his penchant in inquiring about the world he lived in lead him to leaving to study at the academies in the Kingdom's capital. It is here that he honed his skills as an academic as well as sorcerer, developing his skills casting spells. He would depart from the academy before fully gradiating as he felt his time came to study the world on his own two feet. While he was eager to uncover many secrets, one history mystery stuck out to him: the Umbral Keepers.

LYCANTHROPY

The Umbral Keepers once boasted the most powerful magics that even entire Kingdoms paid tribute, yet they vanished without so much a trace, a history mystery that Darius felt deserved to be solved. While he was investigating a lead at some unknown ruins, he was attacked by mysterious assailants and ultimately stabbed by an ancient dagger tainted with a curse. Said curse happened to be ancient Lycanthropy, transforming Darius into the werewolf today, and one that differed from many in looks as well as abilities, for he is unable to transform back to human. Such an experience left his work vastly more challenging, with many attacking a werewolf on sight, but it only solidfied his resolve to discover the true secrets of the Umbral Keepers.
