Oberos Ekleip

[ Former RP Character ;
 Tentatively involved in an original story ]

HEIGHT: 6’ [182cm]
EYES: Pale Blue
HAIR: Black
GENDER: Male
SEXUAL PREFERENCE: Bisexual. He tends to prefer either curvaceous and refined [often older] women, or handsome men with great physiques. ALSO, nice hair and biting intellect is preferred across the board.
BUILD: Very tall and very slim, the picture of a typical Ectomorph physique. His deep voice and incredible speed are a little jarring, given how slim he is.


NAME MEANING: Oberos comes from ouroboros, an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon eating its own tail and forming a circle. Ekleip is a root word for eclipse, another circular image, and itself means ‘to leave out, forsake, or fail to appear.’

About

Oberos is the kind of man that you think you can understand at a glance. He's clean-cut, after all, tending towards blazers and button ups, and his elegance and poise coupled with that sophisticated and utterly blank expression make him seem like a pretty typical corporate robot. Maybe a relatively high-ranked corporate robot, since it's not hard to spot him cleaning up after himself as he goes, and to speculate that he's meticulous enough to be a CFO or something like that, but still. TOTALLY a robot. But then you start talking to him, and you're not more than a few sentences in when he cracks the most dry, witty, obviously suggestive joke, and you're utterly blindsided. As it turns out, Oberos' calm demeanor belies the fact that he's actually a really interesting guy. He may look like he remains calm and detached, but he's absolutely teasing you into laughing or sputtering fits on purpose, and the more time you spend around him the more you begin to notice the subtle shifts in his expression - a slight quirk of a smile when he's amused, a slight softening of the eyes as he catches sight of a friend, a slight exhalation of breath that is as close to a laugh as typical conversation can bring him. He also loves to dance, despite his relatively low stamina, loves to flirt, loves to read doomed romance into film narratives. Basically, if you were to make a metaphor out of him, he's a calm cool lake with a lot of colour and light and personality swirling just beneath the surface.

  Positive Character Traits

► Intelligent and eloquent. You'll be hard pressed to find a more deeply invested conversational partner, especially if you get him going on culinary delights, history, or jazz music.
► Absolutely FANTASTIC chef. He loves to look up new recipes and perfect old ones, and his go-to plan when engaging new acquaintances is to offer them a home-cooked meal.
► Patient, though nearly to a fault. If you need Oberos to wait for something, he will sit and wait until the sun goes supernova or hell itself freezes over.
► Intensely loyal and self-sacrificing where his friends or loved ones are concerned. There is pretty much NOTHING he won't do for the sake of someone who has earned his loyalty.
► Surprisingly funny and flirty. He can be a real charmer!

  Negative Character Traits

► Absolutely unsympathetic and merciless when it comes to people outside of his close-knit circle. He may treat you cordially, but if you're not yet someone of importance to him, you're essentially not even a person in his eyes.
► Has no ability to deal with his own anger. It takes a GREAT, GREAT DEAL to get Oberos mad, because he's almost psychotically patient, but it may be because of this that Oberos never really developed an ability to hold himself back when angered.
► EXTREMELY vengeful. Once someone hurts a loved one or crosses him, they're basically doomed to deal with his wrath at SOME point, because he never forgets a grudge and he never stops looking for opportunities to satisfy his need for revenge.
► Almost certainly a cannibal. Yeah that's probably a negative.

Interpersonal Connections [w/other OCs]:

Seiren Melusina [???]  - Oberos feels exactly the same way about Seiren as she does about him. He's charmed by her stylish beauty and deeply respects her clever mind, and the intense ego that drives many others away only succeeds at drawing him further in. She bristles so fiercely when he teases her that he cannot resist lacing their conversations with intellectual barbs and indiscreet innuendos, and he absolutely loves making her lose her cool. It's clear that the two of them have a lot of history between them, but the nature of their connection and the contents of their past is something that neither one appears to be any hurry to clarify.

Special Design Notes:

He has long, slim limbs, sharp, elongated features, and very thin lips. He's meant to give off sort of a snakelike vibe overall, with 'feathery' touches in the light, sweeping strokes of his hair. He has a cowlick, which can give him an ahoge in certain drawing styles.
