Shiva Alarie

**Shiva Alarie** is one of the adoptive children of Keres Almyra. He is also an Adult film star in Hell.

## Appearance

Despite his rumored age, Shiva has the appearance of a short young boy. He has pale skin and short dark hair with pink streaks that sticks out at the sides. He has large dark red eyes. His fangs are visible when he opens his mouth. He also has pointed ears. Shiva has green eyeshadow and wears a black and green hat with horns, a white shirt with a black tie, and a large black and green coat that falls off his shoulders. He wears a pair of black gloves, and there are straps around his shoulders. On his waist, Shiva has a black corset with belts, ruffled black-to-purple gradient fabric hanging off one side, another smaller belt with a miniature spinning wheel accessory, and some spools of thread on his hip. He wears black shorts with green stripes, stockings with an intricate pattern down the leg, and black, mid-calf boots with green heels.

## Personality

He is stylish and performs an excessive amount of confidence with his public persona, being wildly flirtatious and interested in receiving positive attention for his looks and the profile he has made for himself in Hell.

Shiva does have friends, and while he cares about them and will sometimes show signs of wanting to reach out, he keeps many walls up between himself and others, being very protective of his true feelings and avoiding holding overly emotional relationships. He holds a cynical view on the idea of redemption, although he seems to still hold onto a small hope it may be possible for him.

The ongoing controlling and abusive situation he is in with his boss, Zepar, puts him under a great deal of stress at his work, and he is implied to be somewhat traumatized as a result.

Zepar is Shiva's boss. Shiva is shown to be rather intimidated being around him and is physically uncomfortable in his presence despite his loyalty to help the boss with jobs but deep down, he has a strong hatred toward him.

Zepar is also quick to physically mishandle Shiva if he doesn't behave. Zepar forces himself onto Shiva and is revealed to have raped him at least once, confirming that the relationship is more abusive than previously thought.
