Artistic Notes

Reference Sheet: TBA

Physical Appearance: Very petite. His lack of fur that the standard Kodin would have makes him a lot more awkward looking than most, although he generally combats this by wearing warmer or puffier clothing. Given he doesn’t follow the standard laws of physics, Pandora is usually twisted into some weird or unnatural position.

Expressions: happy, sinister, silly

Personality

Likes: Dogs, sculpting, painting, music

Dislikes: Scorpions, ghosts, large open spaces, bright light, fire

Fears/Phobias: Being alone

A super outgoing and up front person. Ever since he died Pan has ditched the standard social norms in favor of living the way he wants. What's the worst that could happen, anyway? He's already dead, it's not like the repercussions for his actions can get any worse than verbal abuse, and even then he can just ignore it.

Pandora is a very lonely person. He clings to anyone and everyone that's able to see him. In life he was isolated by his father, and that curse only got worse in death. Pandora will do everything in his power to stay around those who can see him because there's no telling how long it'll be before someone else comes along.

Generally speaking, Pandora is an ass, but he's completely harmless. He likes pulling pranks and tormenting people, especially those who can't see him, but if he's ever caught in the act he'll be up front about his actions. His jokes are never made with the intent of bringing physical harm to anyone, although he's not above mental torment.

Abilities

Strengths: Immortal

Weaknesses: Invisible

Weapons/Tools:

Pandora is best described as a poltergeist. A ghost that's still able to interact with the living world. He can only be seen/heard by people who've worn the ring his soul is bound to, but other than that he's able to interact with the mortal realm as normal.

Seeing as he's a ghost, Pandora does not abide by the same laws of physics as mortals do. He can squash, stretch, and distort himself essentially as much as he'd like. He's able to squeeze through even the most miniscule of cracks in an object and, of course, fly through the air like it was nothing.

Health

Addictions: none

Mental Illnesses: none

Physical Illnesses: none

Disabilities: none

Allergies: none

Backstory

Pandora was born in the country of Adastin into a family of nobils. Both his father and his grandfather were held in great regards by the country due to their breakthroughs in the realm of magic. Pan's family studied magic related to the different realms of existence. Mirror Domain is also known as the mortal realm, but others were long rumored to exist. His family proved this to be true after years of study.

Pandora’s grandfather, Norman, discovered a realm he often referred to as "The Inbetween". A domain that meshed with the mortal realm,  populated by creatures typically invisible to the human eye. Its discovery was largely on accident, as his original intentions were simply to make contact with a demon before summoning it to the mortal realm, but once discovered it became the family's shining achievement.

Study of the inbetween soon overtook his grandfather's life. He was consumed by it for several years, almost driving himself mad in the process. You see, there's a price to pay when it comes to Meddling with magic you don't fully understand. The creatures of the inbetween had odd effects on the mind, and Pandora's grandfather was subject to these mind games at full force. This caused him to become obsessed with this realm; going as far as forcing his own son to be a test subject in his studies.

While Norman eventually saw the errors of his ways, Pandora’s father did not. Victor was quickly consumed by the mind altering effects of this world, and because he was so young when it all started he wasn't able to free himself from the shackles. The only thing that saved Pandora from getting sucked down the same rabbit hole as his father was the fact that his grandfather was looking out for him.

Pandora grew up in a large manor in the Sanquet Mountain Range, which his family moved into around the time he was five years old. He lived there primarily with his father and his father's dogs, which guarded the place from demons. Life was lonely for Pandora. His father's obsession forced him into isolation, and as a result Pandora was rarely allowed in town. Whenever he questioned his father about this he'd get a vague response. "They don't like being seen", "I can't make contact with them there", "it's too hard to focus with the noise of the city". After a while his father got fed up with the constant string of questioning; eventually resorting to statements such as "because I said so" or "I expressly forbid it".

His father had always had weird quirks about him. His methods of contacting this other domain lead to the manor being filled to the brim with odd collections and trinkets. According to his father, the creatures of the Inbetween felt more “at home” if they had a body to inhabit, leading him to collect hundreds of statues and skulls as a means of attracting these creatures and welcoming them into their home. Given he grew up with this, Pandora never found it weird, but every now and then he’d question where all these skulls were coming from or why his father’s statues seemed to move on their own on occasion. Of course, whenever he asked these questions he was met with less than informative responses that only lead to more questions than answers.

Pandora didn't like being alone, but at least his grandfather visited often. Whenever his grandfather came over they'd play games or tell stories while his father worked on his studies. Pan's grandfather was never a real buddy buddy type person, but he was better than nothing. He'd much rather hear his grandfather yell at his father for attempting to drag Pandora into his studies than sit in silence for the entirety of the day. Every now and then his grandfather would answer one of the many questions plaguing Pan’s mind in such a way he was able to understand, which was nice. Knowing what was going on in his own home brought peace.

When his grandfather wasn't there Pandora would busy himself in whatever way possible. Oftentimes it would involve talking to either his father's guard dogs, which he grew extremely attached to over the years, or playing pretend with the many statues and gargoyles that decorated the manor. On occasion he'd read a book from his father's library, although his grandfather hated this and would scold him for doing so. In his words, he didn't want Pandora ending up like him or his father, which is why Pandora was more or less forbidden from interacting with his father’s studies. In addition to this, Pandora took up a lot of creative works. He taught himself how to paint and play the piano, although he didn’t do either of these things the “standard” way. He’d do whatever made him happy, which mostly included painting with bright colours or making songs with fast and upbeat melodies. Anything to distract him from the solitude brought on by the manor.

Pandora never knew his mother. His grandfather had always skirted around the question when asked, and whenever Pan brought it up with his Father he’d go on a long winded rant about his “Faceless Lady”. From what he was able to gather, the Faceless Lady was a creature of the Inbetween that had warped his father's mind, causing his obsession. Everything he did was in hopes of becoming closer to her. The whole reason Pandora was even born in the first place was so that the Faceless Lady could have closer ties to the mortal realm; hoping to one day go there herself. Pandora was going to be the vessel she inhabited. At least, that was the idea in the beginning. His grandfather did everything in his power to prevent this, and for a time his father had abandoned the idea. Still, Pandora always resented the faceless lady. It was clear the whole reason he was isolated the way he was because of her.

As time went on and Pandora grew older, things naturally began changing. The biggest change was the death of his grandfather around the time he was thirteen. He was an old man to begin with, and the constant stress brought on by his father and grandson was really beginning to wear on him. He spent far too much time preventing his father from killing himself or dragging Pandora down this hellish rabbit hole of magic to care for himself. His health began to decline, and eventually his body couldn't take anymore. The magic of the inbetween was too much for him.

After his grandfather's death there was no one left to protect Pandora from his family's research. By that time, though, he was old enough to understand why his grandfather was so adamantly against him getting involved, and because of this he was able to strike down any of his father's attempts to overtake him. This only further strained their relationship, and at a certain point the two of them stopped interacting with each other at all. They both lived in the same house, yes, but Pandora may as well have lived alone. At this point the only thing stopping him from leaving was the dangers of the mountains. No mortal could traverse them alone. Not at his age, anyway. It'd be a death sentence. So, as much as he didn’t want to, Pandora gave up on the idea of leaving. We're no strangers to love. You know the rules and so do I. A full commitment's what I'm thinking of. You wouldn't get this from any other guy

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling. Gotta make you understand. Never gonna give you up. Never gonna let you down. Never gonna run around and desert you. Never gonna make you cry. Never gonna say goodbye. Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you. Yeah, this character's backstory is heavily tied to my ongoing D&D campaign. I KNOW YOU GUYS WILL READ THIS! His full bio will be updated once you figure it out in game UwU. For now, you only see what I want you to see~
