Seraph

drawn by @seraphtwt

Seraph is a member of the Obsidian Ridge server, on visitation orders by the King CanadianHybrid after an undisclosed incident.

### Personality

Seraph is rather laid-back and easygoing. Their position as scribe makes them incredibly attentive to detail, and especially what other people say. The laid-back veneer peels away to reveal someone who knows, inside-out, the importance of conversations.

They're incredibly affable, always willing to go with a goof, and have a deep and appreciative love for history and creation. If given the choice, they would never dare mess with the history of things, much-more preferring to record it and, if possible, honor its creator.

The only thing Seraph is scared of is themselves.

## Life

### Early Life

Seraph was born to normal parents, and had a normal childhood. As a kid and teen, when they weren't busy chopping wood, farming, and building, they traveled to the Mineplex and Edawg servers to play minigames and socialize. During a game of Castle Defense, a player afflicted with lycanthropy infected Seraph, and it wasn't an illness that went away with respawn.

Seraph, though, saw no issue-- and just decided this affliction would mean that they were better at PVP games. This was correct, though a strange response.

When they come of age, they parted with their parents on good terms and began a life of adventuring, traveling with a small party of close friends.

### Obsidian Ridge

Their life as an adventurer took them to a server called Obsidian Ridge, a collection of towns ruled in collective by the king Kyle CanadianHybrid. They befriended many of the members and even created the small village of Snowtop with a friend.

After a while, the knights and the king found a new area of land in the server-- an area surging with new, weather-changing magic. Seraph joined a few knights and other adventurers to conquer the kingdom of the End on the advent of this new land, providing food and an extra pair of hands.

Months after, Seraph had been appointed to Court Jester in the Obsidian Ridge courthouse, given the job to record the cases and make sure it was "funny". Due to the lack of severity in cases, this worked perfectly fine.

### The Incident

On the night of the discovery of this new "part" of the Obsidian Ridge server, the combination of the new, untamed magic and a player-summoned full moon incited the latent lycanthropy present in Seraph. While no canon lives were lost, Seraph was responsible for the deaths of six players. Even though all people involved were completely fine with it, Seraph beat themselves up about it ruthlessly.

To ease Seraph's paranoia, the king appointed them to the position of scribe, and "ordered" them to stick with another member of the court at all times. As always with their line of duty, they got way too invested in the position, which helpfully did take their mind off of the incident.

### Visitation

In a bit of an exchange program, the king gave Seraph new orders-- to travel to a distant land ruled by an old friend, and to record their history. They agreed and eagerly set off for the Dream SMP.

## Appearance

Seraph is fairly muscular-- built like a bit of a brick shithouse. They're broad-shouldered, dense, but narrow slightly at the waist, only to widen again with the hips and thighs. Their facial features are softened-- with a slightly square jaw, cleft chin, subtle eyebrows and piercing eyes.

Due to their lycanthropy, a number of their features have been altered or exaggerated. Their hair is brown and thick, even on their arms and legs. Their muscles have become more wiry, lean. Their teeth are fanged, with a slightly wider tongue. Their nails are instead sharp claws. Most notably are their large canine ears, tuft of a tail, and more bestial, digitigrade legs. Their gray eyes reflect, akin to an animal's, when in the dark.

They wear a mix of the modern styles they found in Mineplex and Edawg and the medieval fantasy the court of Obsidian Ridge emulate.

## Trivia

* Their top surgery was done by King Eret.[1]
* The only law they've broken was the Obsidian Ridge law against swearing. When they were sent to jail, they escaped, and nothing more was done on the topic.
* Members of the Obsidian Ridge server-- particularly those attuned to divinity-- claim that this is just one version of Seraph, and not their own. No action has been taken using this claim.
