Frederyk (Polish Series)

**Frederyk Roman Tyk** (1739-1767) is a ghost of an amateur poet from 1700s from Dominowojo's Polish Series.

## Personality

Frederyk is not that interested in his surroundings, unless he is looking for inspiration for a poem, then he shows keen interest in everything - though only when it's worthy enough to catch his eye. He is a bit stuck-up and prefers to be alone since he is used to that because he lives alone in the forest near the house. The only person he appreciates to an extent is Ogór because he helps him with rhymes and overall anyone who has a good taste in his poems. He is head over heels with Teresa and believes she is the most graciously beautiful woman to ever graze this Earth. Every poem he has done recently is love poems to her which she doesn't appreciate because of Frederyk's obsession with trying to impress her with his works.

## Appearance

He wears a posh wig that suits the regency era, a purple blazer with gold accents, a fluffy ruff-looking thing around his neck with a bow-tye with a bit of blood on it, a neatly-buttoned shirt underneath, a belt with gold on it, dark blue leggings with a pattern on them, and black shoes. He also has a scratch marks on his left cheek, left leg, and torso (the ones on his torso look the most severe). He is always seen with a quill and paper that has a few drops of blood on it.

## Life

During his life, Frederyk helped his parents who were butchers from the age of 7 run their butcher shop along with his brother who was three years older than him. When Frederyk's brother was 18, he became rich by writing a novel; in hope for Frederyk himself to become as rich as his brother, Frederyk started writing amateur poems so he could achieve something big in his life like his brother and not spending ten hours of his life each day just cutting hunks of meat. His poems didn't sell that well, but Frederyk's ego took over him making him think that people weren't buying his poems because they were too astounded by his creative genius so much that they were to amazed by them to even buy the poems.

When he was 27, his rich brother (who was now 30 years old) invited him to an aristocratic party on the other side of the country. Frederyk accepted the invite in hope to share some of his poems to the other guests. When he arrived there with his brother, someone caught his eye - the daughter of the host of the party who owned the house it was held in (the House Of The Poniatowski Family). Frederyk knew this was his time to shine by showing-off a poem to her and to marry her in the future. He made sure that this poem will be the best of his pieces yet, but he lacked inspiration to what to write in it. His supportive brother encouraged him to go into the forest near the house to look for inspiration. Frederyk listened to his advice since he was truly stuck with what to write.

He went into the forest, looked at the nice trees, written some things down, looked at the interesting plants, written something down, looked at the insects, written something down... until he lost track of time and it was dark. Frederyk got lost, and saw a pack of wolves staring at him, so he tried running away but didn't know where he was going. He managed to outrun the wolves that were chasing him and actually found himself at the beginning of the forest where he entered it from, but unexpectedly, the wolves caught-up with Frederyk and killed him.

In the morning, Frederyk's brother found his scratched corpse in the forest. Very coldheartedly, Frederyk's brother took Frederyk's poem - which was actually quite good - and took it as his own. Frederyk's brother then scoffed at his corpse and said "You never really felt like a brother to me really - just a silly pushover." He then painted over the drops of blood that managed to catch on Frederyk's poem with red ink to make them look like love hearts and gave it to the daughter of the owner of the house with his name written on the poem. Frederyk wasn't the only one in love with her; his brother was as well. They got married a year later at the house, which would've been very heartbreaking for Frederyk if he seen that - which he actually did see as a ghost, and he *was* heartbroken.

## Death

Now as a ghost, Frederyk is now a lone-wolf (pun connecting to his death intended) and doesn't care if he is left alone and actually prefers it that way. The only times he interacts socially with others is when Ogór comes to visit him in the forest and when he comes into the house on rare occasions just to show-off a poem he made to Teresa and the other ghosts who don't care except Ogór.

## Relationships

### His Brother

Frederyk's brother helped Frederyk and their parents with their butcher shop until he moved-out and became famous aged 18. This motivated Frederyk to make poems so he could also become famous... but his motivation led to Frederyk's death.

### The Daughter Of The Owner Of The House

This young woman was a rich and regal lady who made Frederyk fall in love with her. His love for her made him try to write a poem for her, but this led to his death.

### Ogór

Now as a ghost, Frederyk's only friend is only really Ogór. Ogór sometimes visits the forest where Frederyk lives and helps Frederyk with poems, much to Frederyk's joy.

### Teresa

As soon as Frederyk laid his eyes on Teresa, he became lovestruck and started madly jotting down poetry while still awkwardly remaining eye contact with her. During their next interaction Frederyk started idiotically reading out his love poems to Teresa for nearly half an hour until he forgot them all and Teresa nearly got a mental breakdown. Now after falling in love with her, Frederyk dedicates all of his recent poems to Teresa, but now that his major lovesickness took over him, his poems started making less sense and are packed with so many metaphors that you can only understand the first two verses of them, really.

Frederyk is so in love with Teresa that he sees everything she does as cryptic so every time she turns him down Frederyk sees this as a secret sign that she too loves him. This causes him to overanalyze every single negative action that she does towards him.

## Notes

* He is Dominowojo's version of Thomas, though the main difference between them is that Frederyk isn't a main ghost, but rather a "reuccuring" ghost.
* His middle and last name, when put together, become a portmanteau of the Polish word "Romantyk" which means "a romantic person".
