Thesius

**Thesius** is less of a resident - his true "home" being *Hell* - and more of a frequent presence entwined with Neqville's recent history; from which no good things have stemmed.

## First Impression

Thesius can hold many forms, but his "natural" or chosen visage is a faceless pale demon. The only features of his face are eyes with hypnotic magenta irises that are like spirals around his black pupils rather than circles. Staring too long might induce some kind of charm.

He respects the colour white and thinks it to symbolize purity, and along with his skin tone, he wears an alabaster suit and hat, which are both embroidered with black tendrils and rune markings. Clad in this elegant garb and standing always to his tallest with confidence, he comes across as someone who knows his way, and with that unreadable expression, his purpose is often mysterious also.

## Personality

Thesius is pompous, dramatic, confident and dually arrogant. In another life, his devotions to vanity were plaused by his nobility, and now, by his powers. The worst factor of his flaunts is that he's hardly exaggerating; especially since his most recent rebirth.

## Background

Once upon a time, Thesius was human - and king. He was the firstborn of his generation to the monarch family and inherited the throne before his sibling, Hancock, who hence grew in resentment toward his "lucky" brother king.

With the poisoning of the Queen and her beloved handmaiden, assassination charges were planted on King Thesius using feign evidence. An uprising occured, and he was ripped from his chambers by a mob of his unfaithful subjects and put to death on accounts of treason against the state.

However, even after Hancock thrust a blade through his chest, Thesius did not die; but his humanity did perish. By his will alone, he was remade into a spawn of hate with the traits desirable for bringing down a kingdom: the ability to change form, to mimick others, and vanish completely. It is via these powers that he destroyed his once-ruled land and set Hancock and his people to wallow in "deserved" torment.

Thesius fulfilled his purpose and evermore sought out pleasure to fill his devoid life. There is something about him that will never shake; he lives, laughs, and hates. Always.

## In Neqville

Thesius stumbled upon the little town of Neqville by happenstance - and now, perhaps because of its very unqiue nature, he has found himself a frequent visitor, with his appearances most often being for the purpose of furthering an end.

His presence strikes fear in some, and in others, just irritation.

## Powers

His strength has grown tenfold since his rebirth as a demon; now no longer feeling feignt or wear to the overexposure of his own magic, and his polymorphic talents have greatly improved. He is a demon deal-maker, the devil on the side of a lonely road, and with each bargain he just gets stronger. Physically, there are few equals, and when it comes to power, Thesius has a multitude of potent tricks up his cuffed sleeves.

## Relationships

### Danny Mite

Danny has been interlaced with much of his story. Being one of the first residents he met in Neqville, Thesius kept coming back to him. There was nefarious purpose always in their meetings, but it wasn't until he met **Damien** (TBA) that a true plan for chaos struck his mind... only to find out later that two meddling mages, Illidan and **Danathor** (TBA), had taken him hostage to deal away with - for good. During an improvised rescue attempt, he lost his life to the inscribed hands of Danathor.

#### Human Danny

When Thesius returned from death, he went under the guise of another deal-making demon and set the now-split Human Danny free from Illidan's clutches - his freedom bringing them both to the barren wastes of Western Hell. Forced to work together as Thesius recuperated his strength, they steadily grew to enemies, and downright loathed each other. Once he had enough strength to transport them back to Neqville, they never saw each other again - at least not while they were both alive.

#### Demon Danny

Being acquaintances and borderline friends was thrown out the window entirely when this Danny became privy to Thesius' plots and aid in freeing Damien. On a search in Hell for his vanished human counterpart, he ran into Thesius again - suprised that he still lived - and ran away in fear. They never spoke again.

#### Ghost Danny

The late Human Danny and Thesius got their reunion after all, and once again, they made a deal; now the souls of both Dannys are merged together for the first time.

### Blu Piquer

The third of the fresh trio in Hell, Blu Piquer joined the displaced troupe of Thesius and Danny Mite on account of a shared interest and mutual acquaintance. Blu more or less ganged up on bullying Thesius, despising him oh so greatly, and they both wish to never bear each other's sly remarks again.

### Danathor

The demi-fiend mage responsible for killing Thesius. He wants payback now that he's returned.

### Krone

The insufferable familiar and hate spawn belonging to Danathor, who played a part in distracting Thesius, which ultimately led to his death. Thesius *really* hates this damn raccoon.

### Estrid

A young viking lady whom's heart was charmed by Thesius, which he later shattered.
