Aufh-Mokwu Qwa Thae'il

"People are easier to read than warning signs~!"

**Aufh-Mokwu Qwa Thae'il** (/ɑθmɒk/ /kɜ:/ /ta:ɪl/) 🔊, also known as **Thae** (/ta:ɪ/) 🔊, is an Original antagonistic character created by Necessity4Fun, who is a Star Animal, a race of extraterrestrial animals with all kinds of other-worldly abilities.

## Canon

By a maddened Emperor's orders, every Star Animal children recovered post-conflict were to be enrolled into forced military training, honed with the worst traits possible and raised to be no more than weapons of massive destruction. A letter to the universe itself written in grief and wrath, a threat. It was in one of the many camps that Thae'il and several other foxes would live their first 100 or so years, in a place where it was do or die, where the old laws of the jungle were all the 'order' that existed. Either you were strong enough to survive the tests, or you were not and discarted.

Luckily for Thae'il he was, nearly perfect in every way. Deprived of all thought beyond just following his orders, Thae was a prodigy, a land animal bestowed with a flight ability was a rarity and not needing either sleep or sustenance as long as he could recharge by the stars, a blessing. Not even was he a perfect soldier, but also a weapon that require low to no maintenance, that could be pushed to its limits over and over again because it would not falter, *it couldn't.* The expectations were too high. Not that Thae himself understood or thought about any of it, even this one seemingly 'friendship' that he had with a white fox seemed extremely one-sided. Why did they even come back everyday just to ramble about things that made him no sense?

None of it seemed to 'click' not until several centuries later, and by that point, the chance was long gone. Put against each other in a duel to the death for their passage into a proper world-destroyer, Thae took not time in complying with the order and killing what might have been the closest of a friend that he's ever had. Given his title, the Dark Comet of Mayhem and Destruction served the empire for 5624 different missions of variate duration, the best of them, a legend amongst all squads; A legacy deprived of any real meaning nor enjoyment.

Things change a little during their mission on Earth, as a unexpected foil to their mission made itself known, someone had been tasked with keeping an eye on them and Thae suddenly himself in the position of a pet for the first time. He wasn't against it, showering in the affection and attention he was being given, coming to learn of things that held much more meaning than whichever his job was, such as his fascination for Earth food and flavors.

Being invited into a festival in another universe had just been the final push towards abandoning all of it for good and exploring other options. The defeat of Bowser in the Star Festival incident had been followed with CN-Tan's offer to move in with her, which Thae had promptly accepted, becoming the cartoon girl's pet for a while before he felt like moving even further.

## Pre-Paradise

New journeys into the vast of the Multiverse would eventually present a new Earth to Thae and with it River, some kind of shape-shifting animal species, a Cocker Spaniel whose owner was a little girl named Emily. The vulpine's new fascination with knowing more about River, lead into Emily learning about him and offering to take the Star Animal in, much to River's initial discontentment. After many back and forths, the pair has become actually fond of each other, officiating the move and their relationship.

It's very likely that Thae'il was simply partaking in his new found pet and boyfriend lives before ending up in his hotel room.

## Plot Involvement

Being a loner yet incredibly extroverted individual, Thae'il has been exploring every inch of Hotel Paradise and getting to know its members slowly, messing with them, flirting with them, whichever is on the menu for the day.

Thus far said exploits involve his meeting with Ms. Frizzle in the docks, trying to steal food from Hershel in the kitchen, letting Akari pet his soft silky fur during guy's night and signing up to take spider-people pictures for J. Jonah Jameson, a task which of course was kickstarted with a Thae brand grand introduction, where all members were promptly made fun of and unofficially 'graded'.

## Character Relationships

* *Alexis Kuroki -* An ***OC***. After having found out that not only she's a fox-lady but also smells of leaked energy, Thae has been oddly fascinated by her and Kagutsuchi, stalking the woman around and shifting 'nervously' over his paws when they're near. She still owes him a date!

* *CN-Tan -* The personification of the Cartoon Network from ***Channel-Tans.*** The girl's cartoonish antics are sure to light up any environment! Though, he considers her too reckless when it comes to getting serious. A huge friend and past owner, Thae owes a lot of his newfound freedom to her.

* *Vilgax -* A major antagonist from ***Ben 10***. His fellow alien pal! From conquering music to teaming up in battle, Vilgax is someone Thae knows he could count with in an emergency. Not exactly a friend, but a contact, an acquaintance... For when you need to kick someone's ass!!

* *Hershel Avad -* An **OC**. Probably the only person capable of pronouncing his full title properly, Hersh, as the vulpine has taken to calling him, is surprisingly chill, will meet his teases with ones of a similar degree and is very patient with the ploys of this trickster fox. He also enjoys petting him and being a great cook is the person to come to for new food! Always a great time, very likely a friend. Him and others were the ones helping Thae decide to leave his old life.

* *Orbeck of Vinheim -* A minor character from ***Dark Souls 3***. They've confided on each other a couple times, sharing things about their respective universes. Hard to say what kind of relationship this even is but Thae doesn't mind being around Orby at all.

* *Ms. Frizzle -* A character from ***The Magic School Bus***. They've met in the docks where Thae proceeded to spook her with his abilities, flirt and tease her evil persona and then start a hotel-wide adventure with the good half once she was back. Wow! What a first day that was~!

* *Lerhw -* An ***OC***. Unknowingly an alternate universe version of the white fox that Thae'il has slayed on his graduation from junior camp. Similar answers to question led them to take notice of each other, with Thae seeking out Lero to demand explanations, while the other runs away in fear.

* *Akari Kishiri -* A major character from ***Persona 5: Wings of Rebellion***. Pleasant, will do everything as long as its about foxes- At least, the dude *really* likes foxes! Definitely someone to seek out when he wants to be pampered, even if he might not agree with all the moral views and such. After all, it's like he himself said it, Akari is light while Thae'il is shadow; They're opposites in a myriad of ways.

## Trivia

* He made his debut in the previous roleplay, The Chronology Series' third event, *Enter the Cosmos*.
* His fight style is something of a glass-cannon assault type, where he's quick to throw himself in the first lines but lacking the physical resistance to take strong hits back. His greatest asset is his speed, using it to overwhelm targets with attacks and staying away from those retaliating in close-range;
* Thae is aromantic and yet pansexual, being unable to comprehend emotions to their depth but willing to court everything under the sun as long as he has their consent;
* Thae himself stands at 5' 10''(155 cm) tall in his usual humanoid form, and about1' 9'' (57 cm) as a fox, which is 3' 7''(121 cm) in full length, 1' 3'' (40 cm) just for the tail. The fox form is almost indistinguishable from an actual normal fox, if not for the ethereal shadowy mist appearance of it, especially the tail, which end is incredibly hard to pinpoint and seems to simply disperse in the air after him.

* Thae'ils abilities include levitation, light-speed stepping (super-speed), a shadow form that can mix itself with other shadows (Darkness Mimicry/Shadow-dive) and shadow manipulation while in that form. He's also unique from other Star Animals due to being able to absorb starlight and use it as a source of energy, cutting the need for food consumption altogether. It's important to note that despite the sun being considered a star, its light is too strong for Thae and will cause him to 'overheat', as his body is unable to regulate the increase in internal heat fast enough to avoid painful feedback.
* His weapon, nicknamed 'The Claw', is a gold war-scythe seemingly made of an outer earthly metallic alloy, snaked around with inscriptions in a mix of Hieroglyphs, Hebrew and Korean together, something composed of squiggles alternated with less subjective drawings, multiple lines and unexplainable pauses/overlaps, the 307-3B4 dialect, that Thae'il himself has long forgotten how to read or speak. It's allegedly some kind of fable, with a moral that encourages constantly moving on, completely disregarding one's past. The translucent black cloth that's tied in-between the blade's end and pole's start doesn't seem to be affected by gravity as one would expect it to, always flowing upwards towards the ends of the polearm no matter the position.

### Psychology:

* Ever since he's learned the specifics behind how portals and teleporters work, Thae'il has been terrified of spatial displacements and the off-chance that something goes wrong while he is mid-transit in one of those things. There's always the risk of portal cuts, incorrect reassembly or even getting lost in the dimension in-between the exit points and it is *scary.* He calls these possibilities being stuck in a state of 'non-existence' and has a rather irrational fear, if not full-on phobia towards it;
* Thae'il has one regret in life and it has boiled over into a **deeply seethed trauma** and it is having to kill the closest thing he's ever had to a friend for their military camp graduation test; It can be triggered by similar situations and **the presence of the color white,** especially if there *is nothing else but the white* to pay attention to; It prompts extreme feelings of guilt and anxiety, which can result in **incomparable rage**, momentary regression to past ways and some levels of harmless hallucinations.
