Actually, Metsk didn't know any idols. That was more his fiance's wheelhouse but Yang Mi was a simple enough name. Chinese too, a language that Metsk hadn't had the luxury of hearing for a long long time. It was nostalgic, in a way but that didn't matter as there were more pressing things to think about than childhood memories.

Rolling his eyes at everyone's dramatics, Metsk shoved a hand down a random pocket, hands immediately closing around what he was looking for. Perks of dressing like a religious heart attack even if over half of the country didn't believe in such things, small towns liked to disagree with popular notions. Feeling around the other pockets, he was only mildly disappointed to report that he only had one on hand, but whatever. It was serviceable and thats all that really counted in a survival situation.

"Well," He grinned, brandishing his utility knife almost proudly as he slipped the metal from its handmade leather cover. "Not as sharp as your wit, but still plenty usable, I hope?"

Metsk short who was obviously the youngest of the gathered a welcoming smile, heart aching in sympathy for her plight. It didn't seem as if she was aware of anything, even her name was something that was told to her rather than tucked against the heart. As a deceleration of who you were, a title that encompassed everything that you could become, and Metsk always chose his with careful deliberation so seeing someone without something he had taken as normal did come as a blow.

"Its really nice to meet you, Ymaa." He greeted, pulling on his years and years of visiting the pediatrics ward to keep face. She seemed so sweet, someone who shouldn't be among the gathered as she stood out so much.

Speaking of standing out, purple hair wasn't exactly the most common occurrence. Catching Yang Mi's eyes, Metsk tilted his head in an invitation for her to introduce herself

"... As Domnitor Desires, this Iciolan shall Fulfill"

Name:
n/A

Title:
Iciolan Lăcrămioara

Age:
~750

Gender/Sexuality:
Male | He/It | Gay

Personality:
ISFJ - The Defender | 2w3 - The Helper | sp/so | Boros Legion (Red/White)

Its hard to distinguish a personality from it, its silence and thick face making it virtually impossible for any outsider to glean any semblance of a personality from it. Gifted to barely have a presence at the best of times, it is hard for others to even recognize that there is someone in the room with them but even if they do, its difficult for others to even register a servant as a threat. During social functions, the servant acts as anyone in its station does, humble and only speaking when necessary. Its hard working nature has cemented it as an invaluable member of the serving staff, always completing tasks with maximum efficiency with the highest quality of service. it is also known to take care of the other staff, helping around with various tasks once it has completed its own chores, its hyper-competency helping keep only the most trusted of staff on board.

As expected of a vampire it is quick and efficient in battle, relishing in the bloodshed it brings. it will never wait for someone to attack first, always ready to rip into someones throat at the first scent of danger that raises its wicked head. it has a bad habit of playing with its food and playing the merciful hunter who will let them escape if they beg prettily enough, a little too self assured in its strength. it is one who will never play fair in a fight, using its deceptively weak appearance to get opponents to underestimate it and use its pets as ambush. it still has manners though, always introducing itself to its foes politely and bowing to their desecrated corpses.

With its Master, it becomes clear why it has managed to stay for so long. A quick tongue and an even quicker wit gives it a way with words that can go toe to toe with a fearsome Master who it supposedly serves. it isn't afraid to challenge its Master and question the decisions made but at the end of the day always faithfully follows through with any orders given to it like a loyal dog. it knows how to read people quite well and is a master of reading subtle cues in someone's body language, and well, no one really watches what they're talking about in front of a servant do they.

Appearance:
Befitting of its station, it looks quite handsome, enough that it is pleasing to look at but easily forgettable. Still quite youthful looking, it could pass off as a human in their late twenties with slightly too sharp smiles and ever listening pointed ears. Hair the colour of dried blood is interspersed with growing white, perhaps too much for one still in their vampiric prime, but rather than detract from its appearances it gives it a mature youthfulness especially when paired with pale blue eyes that seem to know all there is in the universe as its pale complexion helps blend into the drab backgrounds of the lavish gentry. Ivory skin wash out any colour on it, making the red bridge piercing stand out all the more. All this, though, is shrouded in public by a full faced mask with an eerie smile permanently carved into the unpainted, plain, and simple wood aside from the Lilly of the Valley flowers wreathing it. It is its main defining trait to the public, the Lăcrămioara who brings happiness to its lord wherever it walks.

As the representative of its Master's house at the masquerade, alongside its distinctive mask, it wears a traditional Munteina dress made of lavish silk and subtly embroidered with its titlesake flowers in a thread colour just a few shades darker than the silk dress. More eyecatching are the red peonies sown alongside the seams of the cloth, matching the red cord wrapped around its neck like a collar, a bright reminder against pale skin who its true owner is. its skirt is decorated with a Pricolici fur overskirt, held up with a beaded belt of bells shaped like Lilly of the Valley Flowers, similar bells wreathing its bare ankles. A singular heavy black earring sits on its left ear, shrouded by the translucent scarf draped over its head and wrapped like a dream around its shoulders, the crystals decorated into the material forming the familiar petals of a certain bell like flower.

Magic:
Familiar Summoning: Certain beasts that are killed by its hand can take on corporeal form. its most loyal and easiest to summon is an ushi-oni with the head of a bovine skull and the body of a cat about the size of a full grown moose with a poisonous breath and a protective streak a mile wide. it has a small army of Strigoi and Moroi under its command making up the majority of its summons but even a complete list of its summons is unattainable even to the owner. By far the one it has the hardest time controlling, and in comparison its strongest summon is a seven eyed Căpcăun and Pricolici hybrid.

Stories:
Among the Țigan who have taken to calling Wallachia home, there is a forgotten story that has been left untold for years, originally passed down as a tale of hope. It goes a little like this: Once, there was a Minstrel who was one of their own, with a voice as smooth as honey and dance as resplendent as the heavens themselves. The Minstrel would dance along with their jovial tunes, the bells on sun kissed wrists ringing happiness and luck wherever the winds carried it and along with the joy that was brought with it, so did coveting eyes follow. One such was a dreaded Vetala who stalked the deserts, bewitched by the larksong of the Minstrel and in the dead of night stole the song from the body, leaving it free for the Vetala to inhabit, singing its hunting songs with alluring grace. But the spirit is strong and the Minstrel, though untethered and weak, unfailingly protected those whose blood was shared, leading them to the lands of the Moira and Strigoi where the persistent Vetala was finally dispersed under the grace of the Domnitor who Rules the Night, taking the Minstrel under his service as payment. But even as shackles were placed on our wrists, and weapons pressed against our hearts, those sweet bells will still tole for those who ask for the Minstrel.

Reputation:
Known as the noble slave, the Țigani has served one of the oldest and most powerful of the Romanian vampire gentry faithfully ever since its siring under mysterious circumstances. Known only by its Title "The Valley Lilly Servant", very little is actually known about it. Only that it serves its master, and only its master, with utmost loyalty.

Song:
Rule #34 - Forget Yourself - Fish in a Birdcage

Other:
It has no name. Its only defining feature are the Lilly of the Valleys on it and so that is what it's called

Palpad:
Ye!

Seeing as no one was going to speak up after the girl, Metsk stepped forward instead. To be honest, most of what Kelsey had said had flown right over his head as a collection of sounds that he didn't quite understand. What even was a Costco? But then again, it was probably an American thing that he wasn't familiar with. Regardless, he could manage to do a quick introduction.

"Tere, I'm Metsk Hwei. English isn't my strong suit but I'll try." He started himself, voice pitched bright and welcoming and a charming smile on his lips. "I work with meat so I'm pretty good around knives and animals, especially with other mongrels. Last thing I remember... going to bed with armastan? It was quite a normal day so I don't think I can be of any help on that front." He flashed an apologetic smile, the shine of silver peeking out from between crooked gaps in imperfect teeth.

In this situation where he neither gained nor lost anything from either lying or being truthful, Metsk reckoned that telling a lie or two wouldn't be helpful in the long run. Trust, that was where it was at. And the easiest way to gain that, was by being open. So for now, Metsk would not lie.

Callused hands wrapped around the familiar crumpled box of cigarettes and habit had him immediately tapping one out. Next order of business was searching for a lighter. Thankfully most of his leather jackets had one tucked away somewhere and this time he found one with a skull chewing on a bone scratched on the black painted surface. Edgy.

Just as he was about to light the paper up, already bending his head down to grip the cigarette with his teeth, Metsk finally looked up and froze when he noticed a kid no older than 12 maybe hiding under a hat. Aw man, now he really couldn't even indulge in his vices without looking like some kind of washed up loser of an adult.

Well, to be fair he kind of was but that was beside the point. There were appearances to keep up, especially around kids

Glumly letting the cigarette fallback down into the box, Metsk reached back to slide out the pins in his hair. Keeping his hands busy by pinning the errant mess back up into something more presentable and less like he had just rolled out of bed. Grains of sand fell out in waves as he shook his hair out, Metsk slid the pins back in place with a barely muffled yawn, nearly dropping them when one of the others began to talk. He really had to stop himself from laughing the moment the goth started talking, her sass quite infectious and he couldn't help but add on.

"Well, whoever did it is an new one at best," He drawled, putting on a smile he knew had charmed others before and would continue to do so. Pretty privilege and all. "I mean, really. Letting your kidnap victims meet and talk with each other? Beginner's mistake."

Metsk wasn't anyone special

He knew he was good with a knife and knew his way around animals of all kinds, he could charm anyone with the right words, but other than than, he was just. normal. If you were to take away his tattoos, Metsk was sure he would blend in with the rest of the populous, his halfbreed traits his only defining marker. After all, his golden rule was to keep his head down and do good work.

But even normal people could receive happiness

When sleep crusted eyes flickered open and lucid thoughts began to return, Metsk mourned the loss of warmth that he had grown so accustomed to pressed against his back. It wasn't uncommon for his fiance to wake up earlier than him, the odd hours at the hospital pulling their already horrid sleep schedules into tatters, so at first nothing really felt amiss. He simply yawned and rolled over, surprised that the ground beside him was warm, his lethargic body eagerly melting into the heat. His fiance must have woken up not too long ago then, though he did pout at the thought of not receiving his morning kiss yet.

Nuzzling into the grainy sand, Metsk sighed and felt his sluggish mind begin to embrace the siren call of sleep again though the rough texture of the ground nagged at him. Märjamaa is a land locked parish, why was he sleeping on sand?

Jerking upright, Metsk whipped his head around to find himself sitting in the middle of a sunscreen commercial, complete with swaying palm trees and burbling ocean. He had never been to a beach before, his family hadn't been the most well off and even now his fiance was much too busy to take a trip to the ocean. But enough television had given him the idealized image of a beach that seemed to match the picture perfect illusion, and Metsk was left reeling at the sun that seemed be beam right into his brain.

"Aw man," Metsk sighed, already patting himself down to find a pack of cigarettes. "Not again."

Lolling faer head towards Chester, Blithe let a lazy grin crawl over faer cheeks at the offer. "Aye, if Time be kind, trading stories be sounding mighty fine. " Fae agreed, tapping faer head with a finger before pinching faer fore and thumb together with quick almost crab like motions. Though to be honest, Blithe would probably simply go on a tirade about faer troupe instead of the travelling stories Chester probably was thinking he would hear.

Turning to look at the road at Beige's exclamation, Blithe watched as the scenery that previously was simply trees and shrubbery give way to the stone of civilization. It never got old, the slow transition from grinding dirt and rocks under wheel to the rhythmic bounce of cobblestone. It usually signalled the start of children who would eagerly scramble to make sure that their props were ready to be used and costume pieces were tied on tightly, the flurry of activity before their impromptu shows always chaotic no matter how many times Blithe warned them to be prepared. It was nice, for a chance, to simply sit and enjoy the ride without the knowledge that someone would be demanding faer attention for something or another

Name:
Metsk Hwei

Gender:
Male [He/It]

Age:
37

Birthday:
April 4th

Personality:
Metsk has a calm, humble, and affable demeanour, often wearing a welcoming smile and extending politeness to anyone who crosses his path. Possessing an almost godly amount of patience and goodwill, Metsk is the sort of person that others would unwittingly spill their hearts to even if they had only met a few minutes earlier, always happy to lend an ear to listen and a shoulder to cry on. Metsk's uncanny ability to tease out the most intimate of secrets would be scary if not for his unconditional acceptance of people's natures. He is the type to see the good in any situation and remain positive despite any misfortune that may befall him or those that he knows, always claiming that things happen for a reason.

Despite all this, Metsk is deeply skeptical of the existence of a higher power and instead insists that humans are just fascinating like that, making sense of the nonsensical and turning it into something.
Personality Type:
INFJ - The Advocate | 8w9 - The Bear | Witherbloom College (Black/Green) | Aries


Description:
[A middle aged man of mixed Chinese and Estonian descent, Metsk sports messy black hair and a pale complexion, all making his pale green eyes pop in comparison. Despite his clear Asian heritage, Metsk is quite tall, putting on much more muscle than what his waifish build may suggest. He has a few tattoos, the most prominent of which is the collection of ball jointed tattoos, most of which are for people in his life. His heavy air of exhaustion only seems heavier with the fact that he's trying to quit smoking to varying levels of success. Often he's seen wearing leather accessories and clothes, most which he will brag is handmade, but is never seen without his father's hairpins or his mother's ring collection]

[]Height: 179cm
[]Weight: 71kg
[]Skin Tone: Pale
[]Hair Style: Half up manbun
[]Hair Colour: Black
[]Eye Colour: Green
[]Clothes: Has a preference for genuine leather clothes, otherwise its an eclectic mess of whatever he picks up first
[]Accessories: Heirloom hair pins, silver keepsake rings, various jewellery, a simple jade ring on his right ring finger
[]Other: Smokes but is trying to quit
Always looks some flavour of sleepy



History:
Born into a mixed family, Metsk never really fit in either of his parent's worlds, too white for his father's family and too Asian for his mother's. They didn't live in the safest parts of town but it didn't matter to Metsk, always buried in his mother's various textbooks and entertaining himself away from the prying eyes of his peers. He liked studying anatomy with his Ema and occasionally Baba would chime in about animal anatomy fun facts that he had picked up from his time taking care of them back in his hometown. Sometimes, they would make a whole field trip of it, walking the long winding road to the local whole animal butcher to just watch and learn. He would later officially apprentice under that same butcher, and business boomed as Metsk would always attract a horde of aunties who pinched his cheeks and scolded him for not eating enough.

Not much is known about the Hwei family from this point onward, just that they existed. Some time during his life Metsk's parents both passed away and he met his now fiance. He still works for various wholesale butcheries, tanneries, and all manner of work in the field

Sexuality:
Asexual, has a fiance

Voice Claim:
Jon Gracey (Gerard Keay)

Someone really should tell Blithe that faer smile really isn't as reassuring as they assume, the sight of gnarled tusks more than a little frightening. "Aye, ye don't build a home on ye dusty roads w'out repairn' a cart or ten w'th Time crawling up yer back! B'sides this don't be our first time parad'n these streets, we don't be too spun 'bout these things." Waving a clawed hand around dismissively, Blithe leaned against the edge of the wagon as best faer could, showing not one ounce of respect for the festival that they were all heading towards. A mocking smile teased its way across faer lips before it was swallowed by indifferent melencholy

Better for these strangers to see him as a lazy handytiefling rather than a potential party member. While fae wasn't staunchly opposed to adventuring, per say, faer priorities lay elsewhere and if Blithe were to tell any of faer troupmates of such an encounter, fae would most certainly be chased out to pursue the call of the Gods or some other nonsensical excuse that they conjured up. Just thinking of such a scenario made Blithe want to keep faer mouth shut.

The faintest wisps of smoke curled out from faer lips when Blithe exhaled, letting the tension seep out with the fading tendrils. The next time faer troupe master proposed that fae head out first, Blithe would lock faerself in faer tent.

Hello, isn't this... familiar

-General Information-
Character Name:
Vivek Biswas

Aliases:
Nurse Vivi

Character's Age:
37

Character's Gender:
Male - He/It


-Appearance-
Faceclaim: Miyaji Oldia - Akuma Hitsuji to Kuro Neko
A well built man with white hair, blue eyes and brown skin. His bangs are braided and a old wound runs across the left side of his face.

Its hard to approach Vivek who stands at 190cm (6'2), the air of reticence he gives off and generally deadpan expression scaring off many. It doesn't help that his left eye has sensory exotropia from an old injury, scaring off most people who would try and approach him. His warm brown skin contrasted with premature grayed out hair with only traces of the original black only seems to alien him further, the striking blue of his eyes almost piercing; only underscored by heavy bags. Despite that, Vivek doesn't quite pay attention to his looks, only pulling up his hair into a sloppy regulation updo in his workplace, otherwise leaving his hair tangled, hiding none of the cracks of old scars that have healed poorly.

-Personality Traits-
General Personality:
Apathetic | Aloof | Blunt | Habitual Liar | Inconsiderate | Nihilistic | Self Interests First | Stubborn
Analytical | Decisive | Devoted | Diligent | Efficient | Good with Words | Objective | Reliable

Detailed Personality:
INTJ - Architect | 4w5 - Free Spirit
Taciturn and inexpressive, Vivek is quite hard to read at first glace on account of not showing much expressiveness. However, he is quite blunt and openly speaks his mind, often short and to the point without much care for other's feelings. In fact, most of his actions is all done for the sake of self interest, slogging through each day just to collect a paycheck. He doesn't care if his co-workers dislike him, he is fast and efficient at his job and takes pride in delivering quality service despite being overworked. In times of crisis he is always one of the first to act, always keeping his calm even when a life is on the line, always able to make clear headed decisions. This gives him the perception of being cold and callus, with all emotion removed from his decision making. Despite all this talk, Vivek continues to work day after day, filling out meaningless charts and making calls that over time blur together. Each day is only tiring and mundane, nothing in his workplace ever startling him anymore.

Everything becomes easy when you do it long enough


-Additional Information-
Add'l:
Works as a long term pediatric care nurse at the local hospital
He's unable to see too well out of his left eye

Will be updated as I keep turning him around in my head like a 3d model in a microwave

Shifting to rest faer chin on fidgeting hands, Blithe smiled humorously at the suggestion that fae could fill in a spot in an adventuring party. What a silly idea. Honestly, fae was getting much too old to even be part of a travelling circus, the amount of excitement needed for them couldn't be bore with aching knees and unsteady legs. An adventure would certainly be too much excitement for a fragile heart to witness. Just as the kindly carriage driver said, it was too late for some to chase after pipe dreams.

But really, it was just as fae thought. The blond human seemed familiar, not of face but of deed. Blithe couldn't quite place a finger on it but it didn't matter all that much if none of faer well honed instincts were ringing any alarms. It was just going to be another thing that would endlessly bug Blithe until fae forgot about it all over again in a few days. Just like this carriage of quirky travellers shoved shoulder to shoulder by chance

Clapping faer hands together to draw the attention of everyone, Blithe stretched out a warm smile, tilting faer head in suggestion. "Well there be some parts that don't be too spun 'bout higher planes, best not ta dig too deep 'nto stranger's hearts, nay? We all be entitled to a mystery or ten." Fae smoothed out, attempting to pave over any unease that lingered within the cart. Perhaps being placated by a wide fanged smile wasn't quite the most reassuring thing to see but the rhythmic flow of Blithe's words at least got others to hear faer out. "Chester, sir, if ye be willin and trust'n of a stranger to do so, prithe' we take a look on th' waggon once we make detestation? We be familiar w' repain' carts, 'tis be a quick one no frettn'. Payn' dues if ye be more inclined."

Pressing faer thin lips together, tusks pressing indents into the skin, Blithe steepled faer fingers before faer mouth. So this was fun. Fae couldn't blame Chester for attempting to keep the peace, but fae could also sympathize with the small Harengon passenger for wanting off the wagon. The dragonborn though, Blithe couldn't help but bite faer tongue when he emphasized that everyone would be participating in the petty charade created by a uncaring creator. Fae could understand such rationale behind this but it still left an uncomfortably familiar aftertaste on the tongue, something only vaguely alleviated by the hasty correction to some.

But all that in the end was completely blown out of the water as Beige pierced through the heart of the matter. Why exactly was Liza here if she knew so little about the biggest event of the year? Everything hinged on this one season, where gratitude however deserving would be given and merriment would be had. Even those who held the gods in contempt planned their year around such a time, much to Blithes chagrin, but the importance of the Festival could not be downplayed at all. For if one were to live on these lands, it was almost impossible to escape the festivities.

Sharp eyes observed the other residents of the carriage as such a question was posed. In particular, fae kept an eye on the blond human who had previously began day drinking out in the open. Fae couldn't quite put a finger on it, but there was something familiar about him though the millions of stories fae had come across during faer travels tended to blend together at times

There was a pair of hollow clatters as Blithe immediately lifted faer hands up in the air though nothing seemed to have dropped onto the floor, gazing at the blade turned against the wagon without anything but a calm smile. Fae certainly was no stranger to being threatened with sharpened steel, the perils of being a travelling circus meant that such encounters were a dime a dozen, yet Blithe knew that this was simply an overzealous show of passion from a young warrior who had been given the briefest sample of a sweetest honey that could only come from godly promises. Cloying in the smallest tastes yet overwhelming once anything more than a mouthful was given.

And so fae simply defaulted to what fae did best. Talk.

"Oi lass, yer one mighty spitfire, eh? Best draw that armament back 'n her sheath lest she dull under shame o' threaten' those she be protectin' now. We ain't no fighter here, jus' common folk lookn' out fer family. Don' got much time for grand ol' adventures, not w'th aching bones n' a pack of chilln' underfoot."

It was quite obvious just by looking at fae that Blithe certainly had no physical combat prowess. Billowing robes were impractical in any confrontation as opposed to the practical combat orientated gear that Liza herself bore. In fact, in the complete opposite, Blithe's clothes seemed to conceal more than protect, only offering brief peeks at lilac skin. To that point, from a glance, fae would bet good money that only the dragonborn, aside from the undine who was most vocal about her pursuits, was any sort of adventurer.

Oops, did fae accidentally scare the poor darling? In a way, how Beige reacted to the situation was rather cute and Blithe had to sniffle a titter behind tightly pressed lips. Young ones were simply just so fun to poke and prod at sometimes but fae would refrain for now, the only relationship they had was one of strangers after all.

But really, did they have to keep talking about gods? Those stuffy beings praised for their callus indifference to the populace knew seemed to be all that anyone wanted to think about as the festival drew closer and closer. For fae, it was prime time for money to be made and Blithe wondered what set fae apart from Chester so much. Of course, all the circus had to do was roll into town and their revenue would automatically go up but this was not some arbitrary blessing, it was the product of the troupe's hard work and dedication to their crafts. Some would dedicate their performances to the gods, more often than not directly invoking one by name, but in the end it was not the gods that so graciously bestowed upon the common folk an income. Those "nice little events" often were the accumulation of a years worth of dedication and hard work on the artist's part. For Chester, fae assumed it was similar as the high fare for the ride might suggest yet the kindly elder seemed all to happy to share his own godly aspirations with strangers.

Well, then again Blithe was always an odd one out.

Perhaps that's why the gods never once turned their gaze at faer

The liveliness of the group was infectious to the point where even the silent ones felt compelled to speak up, how quaint. Blithe certainly felt the distrust levelled at fae, certainly a familiar feeling especially when travelling to more superstitious rural areas, but it never troubled fae much to be on the receiving end of such feelings. Besides, it was intriguing to watch everyone else put themselves forward, from the shy wolf to the almost childishly impressed dragonborn, there was quite an eclectic group all squished into a tiny wagon.

Propping a horned head against a blunted clawed hand, Blithe did muse that it was awfully ungentlefaely of faer to only drink in the atmosphere and not add to the merriment as well. What sort of performer only watched a show instead of being a part of it? Though to be quite honest, being just a part of the background was a novel and refreshing experience. If fae needed to step into the spotlight once again, fae would gladly let faer showmanship speak for faeself.

"Ah, but yer a queer one, young sir. We'd dare say plain 'n normal 's too a criminal underrating of yerself, hm? Mayhaps one 'o a kind, or even sui generis be better for such a darlin'. Nicknames do be for everyone, not jus' fer others." Faer rough speech juxtaposed against a lyrical voice was always quite dissonant for fae to hear but as long as the genuineness of faer words were conveyed.

Letting the conversation in the waggon wash over faer, Blithe watched the scenery pass with an almost nostalgic smile. It had been so long since fae had time to simply breath and take in the rolling lands that were blessed by the gods, always too busy organizing the circus members. But this time, fae had left that up to faer understudy to try it's hand at the duties expected of faer, leaving fae with more than enough time to hitch a leisurely ride to what would soon be faer fair grounds.
