for irthe, creare, and the duke! 🏰,😡,⚔️, and 👑
I thought I already did this one but I only had like half of it "^_^
But thank you!!! These are very fun!!!
Irthe doesn't remember where he was born. He has a distaste for the outside world, but admits that it's largely because he hasn't been there in almost 200 years. All he really remembers from his youth is walking partway across the continent when his family decided to move. They couldn't afford a ship or to have someone cart their stuff so they just carried it and walked. He thinks he walked North from near the south pole, but he doesn't quite remember. He had 6- no, 7- siblings.
Creare remembers exactly where he's from. He was born into the wealthy Naught family in the North, who made a huge profit off of the hospital that they owned. Creare grew up doing child labor, cleaning up and carrying supplies. He performed his first surgery at 11 years old, during a crisis when everyone else was busy. Creare does not care for the outside world, and believes everyone to be impure and tainted. His lifelong goal has been to create the perfect being, and then recreate it enough times to replace personity.
The Duke was born in Scilly City. He was born a Miacid, and he's hated that fact his entire life. He hates the Miacids more than anything. Over the years he developed a deep-seated hatred for anything "cutesie" Or "silly", fueled by the assumptions that others made about him. They called him cute, tried to show him affection and treat him like an infant. It made him sick to his stomach. Eventually it became so severe that he pumped a ton of money into one of the holiday festivals so all the Miacids would show up to the spectacle. He set off a chain of explosives that destroyed the city, and he hired mercenaries to find the survivors. He had no idea he'd missed one (Daugue) until they met face to face.
I can't think of anything for Irthe here
Creare hates the weakness and sloppy craftsmanship that he sees in personity. He hopes to create the ultimate being, which can harness the full power of the natural world and form a utopian society, in order to correct these things.
The Duke hates things that are non-serious. It started when he was young, and being called "cute" would make him really mad, but eventually snowballed into a hatred for everything that is not serious, cold and calculated, neatly organized, etc. He doesn't have OCD btw, I dislike assigning mental disorders to my bad guys.
Irthe doesn't really fight, there are mad witches and patchwork monsters on Vortex Island whose entire purpose is to fight. Mostly to capsize ships that get too close. Mad witches will cast a spell that opens a sinkhole, or moves water into the ship, or moves rocks up in front of them. But when Irthe gets pissed off, his telekinesis- which takes the form of prehensile lightning- gets much more intense, and can destroy medium-sized objects.
Creare doesn't fight often but it isn't rare for his patchwork monsters to turn on him. Usually because he missed a spot while working on the brain. His telekinesis is the more traditional invisible kind, so he keeps a stack of bricks and some spare scalpels in his laboratory. He prefers to throw things, but he could telekinesis choke someone if he really wanted.
The Duke is pretty useless in an actual fight with weapons, but he's still incredibly dangerous. He spends almost all of his time in his fortress, and in his free time he builds traps, secret passageways, hidden trapdoors, the whole nine yards. Pretty much every square inch of the building has some kind of emergency function. He won't let the construction crews near his fortress out of paranoia, so he does it all himself. If he were in a fight somewhere else, he'd use anything at his disposal- rope, sand, rocks, furniture, doors, windows, bystanders… he doesn't care about rules or honor.
Irthe was born into a poor family- that much he remembers. However, he craves power, and his deepest, truest wish is to simply to become the immortal and all-powerful ruler of the entire world. Through any means necessary- violent or otherwise.
Creare was born into a wealthy family, but was not part of government or anything super powerful. He had no interest in power itself. One day, he got on a research ship that Irthe also happened to be on, and when they shipwrecked on Vortex Island, the two of them took over as the default leaders. Creare, however, does not really care about the power of it. He just sort of finds it the most convenient way for him to do his work and research. When he thinks about Irthe's ideal future, he imagines himself tucked away in a laboratory somewhere, just with an infinitely large budget rather than getting all his stuff from passing ships.
The Duke earned his own wealth. Mostly through being extremely particular in where he invested his money, but he also made an effort to save money wherever possible. He became the Duke by founding the Duchy, but it did not appease his appetite for power. He despises most other governmental bodies for being too unserious, and plans to have the entire world under his rule.
