এ​ Cook your red herrings through and through

------Appearance:

On first glance, the androgynous witch carries a wisp of refinement, seemingly of East Asian descent but it's hard to place his features— most likely a sect of china or japan...? Or maybe a mix of something else, the closer you go though you notice the edges out to cut you. Daiex dresses appropriately for the occasion, vacation wear fit for a reclusive goth. With diluted complexion, from his skin to his eyes, embodying a ghastly presence— resentment stretched thin over some human form. He isn’t a fan of opulent ornaments, but two pieces stick out. A thorny silver bracelet and a golden necklace in the shape of a heart. Otherwise he blocks the sun and others gazes out with a lidded hat most of the time, even indoors.

------Lore:

As a resident of this earth, he’s very familiar with what doesn’t belong. That includes the dissolution of fantasy and reality, those unprepared shouldn’t cross the threshold into the world of the unknown, let it be too late. He’s experienced such first hand… but that sort of story isn’t one easily told. Wrapped in lies and mysteries, Daiex drives the story with his will. Fixing the gaps between the world, boxing them up to keep safe.

The cleaner is on an independent contract, his abilities are a rare coveted treasure he keeps guarded. It’s not easy to get him to do things yet alone know his signature in the margins.

For now, with everything he knew jumping into the sea and turning into ashes in the wind, he’s here to “enjoy” this vacation, whatever that means.

------Abilities:

Memory Manipulation - “Let’s open up that memoir in your brain and erase, write over, and make it so this little incident never happened. never existed. never can interfere again.”

Glass Shard Bullet Hell - what? it’s his anime offensive witch magic.

Witch Spells + Resources - various utility use, fun for rp excuses.

Criminal Connections - working as a cleaner gets your street cred up, he tries to keep the dirty identity of his isolated from his ‘world fixer role’ but sometimes it’s useful to knock on old connections.

------Points of Tension:

fixer - much like the Ouroboros, the drive on this cruise for Daiex is to keep reality afloat— the boat too, I guess. This means he won’t take well to large supernatural spectacles or plots, even having a little … fun about it.

cleaner - on top of fixing the narrative, before all that grandiose calling, Daiex was a simple criminal, cleaning up bodies and crime scenes is his way of “relaxing”. A prodigy of weaving the story and burying the dead ends in perfect unsolvable crimes. A mystery through and through.

dramatic catboy - Daiex is a habitual liar and manipulator. it’s hard to truly figure out his motives and goals. he speaks full of venom and is full of false masks. but he’s one of sadism and grandeur, if he can get away with a crime he might indulge in the impulsive side of his personality.

sentimental - despite a life of blood and violence, covering up the remains of those passed, desecrating the memoirs of the deceased— Daiex is heavily in ■■■■ with the world he wants to ■■■■■■■. There’s reason behind this, but it’s wrapped in layers of ■■■■■

------Why a cruise?

An abhorrent asshole of a acquaintance supposedly dragged him along, he knows the creatures guile and cards, but he just can’t be assed to care. Daiex is another ‘fixer’ of anomalies, but getting his attention is a mighty feat. An ally cat that does what he wants. (pun intended?)

maybe he can get over the haunting regrets that chain him, or maybe watch someone fall overboard, either is fine.

“beings like you and I should not step out of the frame… lest you be destroyed by what you find there.”

------Shipping + OOC :

Open for casual ships but to get to his heart is.. difficult. Very primed for toxic dynamics and things that are charged. Has a main ship w/ castor oswenn but this iteration of daiex takes place post the others passing. he is a widow in mourning, try to get him if you dare. more interest in mascs i want to call him gay slurs.

that said he is otp w/ that character but open to dynamics otherwise!!!
