notes
 
*capitalist scum who sells his own blood as remedies for diseases and illnesses for ridiculously high prices. 
**his followers get a 10% discount, what a deal!!
*nothing comes for free... at least to him anyway.
* tends to avoid getting into fights because he doesn't want to give his secret remedy to anyone. has his followers do his dirty work.
*his wounds heal significantly faster because of his blood. though the scars still remain. is still very capable of dying... because, despite what he might think, he's still mortal.
*immune to all illnesses and diseases. isn't immune to being stabbed, though.
*claims himself to be the only god left... mainly so the more religious people don't start worshipping other gods or seek them out.
*those who give him offerings that reach his high standards will be provided with his secret remedy. which is just his blood mixed with holy water. 
**the blood is the thing that actually does something, the holy water is to boost his credibility or something like that. idk, you ask him.
*calls his followers leeches in private.
*his blood can cure any disease or illness, but he refuses to give it out for free because money.
*deserves to be punched in the face. as well as a lifetime prison sentence for being a fulltime a**hole.
*deathly afraid of the actual gods that are left running about because they can all easily end his entire career. and life.
*well... all except for paathak, whom he is secretly still very devoted too (though is forced to pretend he's not for the sake of his own cult) and believes he blessed them with his magic.
*uses this as undeniable proof that he's some kind of chosen one destined for godhood himself.
*has become something of a cult leader who wishes to collect enough influence and devotion to reach true godhood. and once that happens, he'll never be afraid ever again.
*has been enlightened through monetary wealth and finds power in gold. this is because of his mother having a similar mindset.
*40% of his followers are just his investors, the other 60% are just desperate people he's taking advantage of. all of them are buying his overpriced "medicines."
**teaches his followers that if a medicine doesn't come from him, it's not going to work. and if they don't keep buying his medicines, they'll be sick forever.
*is still quite underground, though, with his influence only slightly spreading throughout the seawing archipelago.
* he calls sickness an evil that must be purged from the body. despite this, he allows pestilence to spread in communities so that he'll always be needed.
** he's even been known to actively spread disease. whether that be by poisoning communal well water or by giving them "medications" that either don't work or worsen sickness.
*punishes his followers for heresy by letting them rot to disease. will only forgive them if they begin giving him money again.
appearance
elegant and lithe, dark blue-grey and misty blue leopard print rippling beautifully across his hide. the drake's color palette remains dreary despite his more energetic personality.
dark leaf green eyes with cat-like slits can soften at a moment's notice in the presence of others. three more false eyes stud his large, flared ruff, constantly changing to match the position of his real eyes. stripes and speckles cover his face, dripping from his eyes and spattering his head. a thick, wavy stripe goes down the drake's back, followed by a few thinner lines that trail off.
his build is wiry and tall, but he does not tower over the majority. nothing more than the slight lowering of the head is necessary for his shorter acquaintances. his talons are dull and softly curved and are ash black in color. this can similarly be said about the spines and horns that decorate his body. the only sign of his nightwing heritage.
light grey-blue caresses the soft underside of the drake, severed from his scales by a thin line of misty blue. beautiful, bat-like wings extend from his shoulders, the membranes a swampy grey-green which fade into an icier white-blue near the tips. more darkly colored leopard print swim across the top and bottoms of his membranes.
neat cuts from blades faintly stripe and discolor his forelegs as means of obtaining the remedy others so desperately seek. all of these have healed, only leaving sad scars in their wake. the only other scar he has is a long and thin one seen over his right eye. similarly, a chip is seen at the tip of his right ear with a small, pale pink pearl earring clipped underneath. these were made deliberately out of either desperation or blind admiration.
personality
a drake borne from a tainted strand, with an ability that can bring such great change, misused for monetary gain. he's a creature fluent in manipulation and bending the truth, a master of creating intricate webs of lies.
he feeds off the vulnerability and weakness of mortals, quick to promise anything to lure them in. into an embrace of false warmth, for he only sees his followers as mere pawns to take money from. greedy, selfish, and starved for power and complete control. that is remy's true nature.
true kindness is foreign to him if he receives nothing in return for it. everything is an exchange with him, and he accepts only the best offerings in return for favors. though he has a fixation of monetary offerings and does anything in exchange for them, if it's high enough that is.
he's a true opportunist with little empathy for others, only seeing their suffering as another weakness the drake can exploit for monetary gain. cunning and manipulative, he'll exploit any weakness to make others give up their worldly possessions to him. a true demon amongst mortals, only willing to cure one's suffering in exchange for riches.
remy hides a more playful, light-hearted side that is often discarded in favor of his more upfront, but less desirable personality traits. he has a fondness for strategy games, to which he's very proficient at. at heart, the drake is a coward who prefers to have others do his dirty work for him and will flee at the first signs of dangers that could pose a threat to his wellbeing.
for those he preys on, he's nothing more than are charming, friendly, and very welcoming individual. a wolf in sheep's clothing, that's what he is. while his inherent playfulness, charisma, and whimsy appear to be genuine, he's still nothing short of a liar and a coward. a god of deception, desperately clinging on to any power to feel a false sense of control over fate itself.
abilities
blessed with the blood of gods, just a small vial of his blood can cure any disease or illness within a day's time. what a gift, and yet he only sees it as a way to get more money out of the less fortunate.
because of the divine blood that courses through his veins, his body is immune to the sicknesses it cures. it also seems to promote faster healing and longevity in life and in physical wellbeing. this makes just a vial of the drake's blood a treasure sought after by many. though doctors, alchemists, and unfortunate souls plagued by sickness are typically the ones who seek his remedy the most.
the rainforest tribes that make up his flesh and bones, while not providing much, do make up a small percentile of his powerset. he holds with him night-vision, though he can't see as clearly in darkness as a pureblood nightwing. he's also capable of changing the coloration of his scales, albeit ever so slightly. it seems he's more capable of changing the color of his membranes rather than his scales.
the drake has a keen sense of observation and can easily tell at a glance how someone is feeling. though this is almost never used to be more empathetic, more so than it is to identify possible weaknesses to exploit. he only cares to ensnare more into his web of lies, and that demands extreme care to be put into observing how others are feeling through body language and facial expressions.
history
*it's up for you to decide!!!
relationships
feel free to ask to be here
remaining gods
Bhavish: god of bountiful harvests and fortune... a powerful and influential individual whom demands respect. its very existence proves to be a threat to his way of life, but little can be done to weed out someone so well-known and intelligent. for now, he wishes to stay under the radar, fearing what making it an enemy would do.
"when we first met, i held my breath in the presence of it and when i stared up into its cold, dark eyes, that is when i first felt pure fear. the kind that makes the blood run cold and scales prickle uncomfortably. not a single cursed word escaped its bloodied lips, we only locked eyes for a moment before it passed me. i felt faint afterwards and a trickle of blood dripped from my nose, seeping into the black loam below."
Paathak: god of health and long life... the apple of his eye and someone he's learned much from. while still bathing in his divine light, he's left the nest the god created for him to reach greater heights. but the sea... will always leave an imprint on his mind.
"perhaps i may have imprinted on him in some way, but i always felt a strong connection between us. his presence is not stifling or cold, it is a ray of holy sunlight that bathes your scales in a comfortable warmth that cannot be matched. i once nearly drowned in a vain attempt to reach him, but i was always pulled back up to the surface, cold air filling my lungs again. he blessed me... the day i hatched... he blessed me."
relatives
Hestes: where has my dear sister gone? why me and her were practically conjoined as dragonets, yet now she departs, never to be seen again. is it karma that has been inflicted upon me? it is... the only ailment i cannot cure...
Shio: depraved mother, oh how you have fallen. she said she would cherish and love me till her dying days, but i knew she never truly cared for me. she longed for godhood, to live forever, but her weak, mortal body could not keep up and it soon failed her...
otheropen for relationships; will include a non-canon section for him to give random thoughts on characters from other universes, so feel free to ask for me to throw anyone down here you'd like the stink man to comment on
────────────────────── ◈◈◈ ──────────────────────
Byleth: poor, selfless soul, you were quite a delight. so willing you were to just... give up everything for another. made it all the easier to raise the price. they gave an arm and leg to me for my blood, now that's love. shame they didn't live long enough to give it to their partner. but at least i got my blood back, that stuff is valuable!
trivia
 
*moral alignment is lawful evil.
*often forgets to lock doors.
*ambidextrous (because paathak is), prefers his left hand, however.
*love languages are gift giving, acts of service, and physical touch.
*much like bhavish, as he too was created alongside it, remy was originally intended to live in the myverse, one of my own personal aus. he was transferred over to the faith au when bhavish was as to keep it consistent.
*is a scorpio, having hatched on october 28th.
*fascinated by sea beasts, for reasons that are probably obvious, and keeps a small collection of old books describing them. he hopes that he can learn more about paathak this way.
*owns a pet deathstalker, along with several venomous and/or dangerous snakes. 
**only shows any sort of tenderness towards these pets. often baby talking to them.
**has a particular fondness for dragonbite vipers and most anacondas.
**squids, however, are his favorite animals. has a particular fondness for the giant and vampire squid.
*he's not very pain tolerant. sees all his scars as marks of bravery.
*blood type is o-, occasionally donates his blood to save face. absolutely refuses receiving blood, however, fearful that it might... mess things up.
*considers squids and most cephalopods sacred and refuses to eat or purchase anything that uses these particular animals in some way. 
**demands his followers do the same.
*was once tricked into eating calamari and actually really liked in. after he found out what he'd done, he grilled the chef over it... literally. has kept this sinful deed under tight wraps.
*still really enjoys seafood and considers himself to be pescatarian.
*pretends he's a certified doctor, when he absolutely isn't, so people will believe him when he "diagnoses" them with fake illnesses so he can then sell them overpriced medications.
**all his medications are the same thing with a different name on it. he also adds different colors to make them look different.
**his "best-sellers" have a sweeter taste to them in which he added so dragons would buy more of them.
*has been trying to contact paathak in hopes of using his magic to spread pestilence for remy to then profit off of. all his attempts to convince the deity have been ineffective, much to his frustration.
*will take limbs as payment.
*definitely doesn't see others as walking, talking bags of gold...
