**Jacek DuVeil** (*pronounced "YAH-sek"*) is one of the main characters of the Vesalius Project. He is the youngest child of Antoni and Magdalena DuVeil, personal servant to the Moonstress Lady Elara Umbrillista, and a student at the Vesalius Institute.

After getting detention on the first day of class, he went into the school's catacombs with the other Chosen Ones to find the Ancient Artifacts. He is the current wielder of Eventide.

He is a devoted servant to Lady Umbrillista and is committed to doing anything to please her, but fully ignorant to how badly she wants him to be his own person. He agrees to attend Vesalius to make her and his family proud, and is not quite sure what to make of his destiny as a Chosen One.

## Appearance

### Normal

Jacek is a young male satyr with tanned olive skin and furry goat legs starting below his torso and a tail. He is relatively tall for a satyr his age. He has two goat horns that pertrude from his head, dark brown hair he keeps swept back, stubble on his chin, and a flop of bright orange hair that falls in front of his face. The dark area around his eyes and the tips of his ears is natural and a signature feature among satyrs in House DuVeil. His right eye is its natural orange color while the left is a bright red cybernetic eye.

Like many other satyrs, he bears tattoos that signify his service to a noble house. The tattoo itself is visible on the left side of his face and extends onto his chest, left arm, and back.

As a student at Vesalius, he wears a blazer, tie, and oxford shirt as a part of the uniform. He also wears an orange hoodie underneath his blazer. He prefers, nay *insists*, on not wearing pants.

## Personality

Jacek is rather stoic and serious most of the time to an unnecessary degree - a trait he most likely picked up from his parents. This, combined with his very introverted nature, can maybe him come off as brooding and unapproachable. In addition, he can come off as being sarcastic unintentionally in conversation, making it even harder for him to socialize with others. After many failed attempts of trying to break out of his shell, Jacek decided he would prefer to keep to himself more often than not. But once you get to know him, you would find that Jacek is extremely loyal to the people he cares about. Once someone earns his loyalty, he can be depended on no matter the time or day. He will always put others before himself.

He takes his responsibility as a servant to Lady Umbrillista *extremely* seriously, to the point where he almost idolizes her. He is always proud when speaking about working for her and her House and is oblivious to the obvious favoritism she seems to have for him.

He also has many hobbies that he enjoys doing in his spare time, such as baking or dancing. He loves baking tasty treats for his friends.

## History

### Current

#### First Year

On the first day of school, Jacek received detention for fighting with Cas in the hallway, of which Maria has a shitty recording on her phone.

## Relationships

### Family

#### Antoni and Magdelena DuVeil

As the youngest child of 7, Jacek knew he had many expectations to live up to when it came to which of his siblings to follow the example of and which to avoid becoming. While he doesn't doubt his parents love him, he struggles with constantly wanting to make them proud.

#### Igor DuVeil

Jacek looks up to his oldest brother, like many, as a paragon of satyrs' commitment to service and loyalty. He finds it difficult at times to be related to him, doubting he would ever be able to live up to the expectations set by Igor's example. Shockingly, even Jacek thinks Igor is too serious which feels like it couldn't be possible.

#### Veth DuVeil

Due to Jacek's parents remaining in service during his childhood, the younger DuVeil children were looked after by House elders and Veth, their older sibling. Jacek considers Veth to be one of the smartest and wisest people he knows, and would always go to them for advice whenever he felt stuck on something. He also aspires to have their level of empathy for others. Jacek also found his love for legends and stories from when Veth use to tell him such tales when he was younger.

#### Adaine DuVeil

Being the closest in age and the two youngest DuVeil siblings, Jacek and Adaine have always been extremely close. Unlike most of his family, Jacek greatly respects Adaine for her decision to stray from a satyr's usual career path (even if he couldn't imagine doing it himself). Before coming to Vesalius, Adaine was the most social and extroverted person Jacek knew and often depended on her whenever they were in social situations together. She is one of the only people he tolerates teasing from.

#### Cassiopeia DuVeil

Jacek never knew his great-aunt Cassiopeia, as she was exiled years before he was born. Among House DuVeil, it was even debated whether or not she should still be *considered* his great-aunt. When he was younger, he was taught that she was the perfect cautionary tale. He was told that no matter what, you shouldn't abandon your lord the way she did hers.

Despite everything he was taught about Cassiopeia, however, Jacek couldn't help but feel there was something wrong with that narrative...

### Team

## Abilities and Powers

### Stats

Current Stats
0 (@ Cas)

### Shadow Manipulation

He can manipulate and distort shadows as a method of distraction.

### Shadow Stepping

Jacek is able to enter into a separate plane outside of time through dark spaces and shadows that is at minimum equal to his size. He can move in this plane and come out of any shadow with the same requirements, acting as a pseduo-teleportation method. Jacek can bring anyone whom he is in physical contact with into the plane; however, he is the only one who is able to see when in it. The longer he is in the plane, the more dangerous it is for his psyche as it deals mental damage. Thus, this ability is ideally used to travel short distances.

### Artifact

Eventide, the Sword Artifact, grants Jacek his shadow stepping ability. It is a rapier with a dark gold hilt that has an orange jewel embedded on it. Jacek keeps the sword sheathed on his left hip, attached to his belt.
