Plato Carmine Selim

Plato is a PC featured in The W.I.Z.A.R.D campaign. He is a variant human boy with a penchant for the dark arts, particularly necromancy.

As a PC he is played by Finley.

## Background

Plato is an exceedingly smart and driven student. Despite being only fourteen, he has been accepted in college classes. Notably, he previously attended the prestigious Crawford College of Magicks. He unfortunately was expelled, after stealing a cadaver and a forbidden book from the library in an attempt to bring the cadaver back from the dead. This experiment failed, and resulted in an angry meat monster, severe necrotic scarring on Plato's fave, and the aforementioned expulsion.

Plato then transferred to the less prestigious Mearl's College of Magic, where he worked under Citan J. Conomor in the necromancy department. He wanted to study the effects of druidic necromancy and how they effect the life span of those that they were used on.

In his limited spare time, Plato reads a lot of Infernal comics and draws bad fanart of his favorite characters.

## Personality

Plato is a callous, seemingly unemotional teenager, not particularly concerned about anyone except for himself. He is extremely driven and intelligent, spending most of his time studying and working towards advancing his goals.

Despite his unfeeling exterior, Plato does care and looks for other's approval of him, particularly his father's, Dante's, and Conomor's. There have also been times where his exterior has cracked and he has cried or where he has been unable to process emotions such as grief and simply just smiled instead.

He also harbors a lot of guilt and uncertainty surrounding how his magic has been used, particularly in how he's hurted Dante and his new friends. He wants to improve himself but is uncertain how.

## Appearance

Plato is a young human boy with short, straight, neatly trimmed and styled black hair, sallow skin, and black eyes. The left side of his face is marked by severe blueish necrotic scarring he attained from a failed experiment. He is rarely seen with any hint of emotion on his face.

Plato wears all black clothing, neatly pressed and always tidy. He wears a black cape over it all. He has a wrist watch with a worn black leather wrist strap that he uses as his arcane focus.

After having the Hand of Vecna removed, he is currently missing his left hand from the wrist down.

## Relationships

### Dante

Dante is perhaps the most important person in Plato's life, largely due to the fact of how Dante always made sure to attempt to understand and defend Plato, even when Plato lacked the skills to communicate that back. The two of them shared many common interests and enjoyed reading infernal comics together.

When Dante died in the attack on Mearls College of Magic, Plato became obsessed with bringing him back to life, as he was one of the few people Plato loved, and he could not live with losing Dante. The devotion to this goal became self-destructive, to the point of Plato turning to darker and darker magic to assist him in this journey. Eventually Plato used the Hand of Vecna to gain the power to complete his journey.

Under the influence of the Hand of Vecna, Plato began to see Dante more as a prized possession than a friend, which lead to him trying to manipulate and control him more, up until he died.

Plato regrets the roll he played in Dante's death and now hopes to make up for what he did and live a life that Dante would be proud of.

### Sonny

Plato and Sonny are cosmically bound to each other; upon their introduction to each other, Sonny declared Plato his rival and arch-nemesis. Unbeknownst to either at the time, Sonny had cast wish through his sword causing neither of them to be able to die until Sonny has proven himself to be better than Plato.

Despite the two teenagers' rivalry, the two of them have developed a strong friendship.

### Conomor

Plato considered Conomor to be his only friend, despite him just being his academic advisor. While they disagreed on many things pertaining to the undead, Conomor had shown that Plato is his favorite student due to his outside of the box thinking. Because of this, Plato spent much of his time in Conomor's office.

Plato was fairly unreactive to Conomor's death, but later revealed that that was only because he had to deal with the more immediate consequences of reanimating Dante and didn't have the time or energy to process Conomor's passing.

### Henry II

Henry II is Plato's familiar, and Plato is Henry II's first owner. Plato enjoys his company deeply but wishes that Henry II would actually do better at stealing things.

The two argue frequently argue, as Henry II claims that he is often disrespected, but Plato feels certain that he's done everything right.

### Henry

Plato looks desperately for his father's approval, but Henry doesn't seem to particularly care.
