Vesper Divitiae

### My "Magic" Touch

"I inherited father's power over the earth and metals, of course, and also gained some of Mother's plant powers. Though, I'm not very good with them..."

### Favourite Subject

"Believe it or not, but I find *Godly Kingdom Management* really exciting. Also, it is not because I am set to inherit the ruling of the Underworld."

### Best Friends Forever After

Ivy Efiáltis & Cascade de Mare

**Vesper Pax Divitiae'** [*he/him*, *them/them*] is the 17-year-old son of **Pluto** and **Proserpina** from *Roman Mythology* and is set to take his father's legacies.

At the time of the **Rebel Movement**, Vesper is attending his **Yearbook Year** (third) and currently does not room with anyone. Having no issues with his legacy, Vesper sides with the **Royals**. Even though he sides with the Royals, Vesper fully supports those that want to find their own path (his best friend may be one of those people that showed him).

### Physical appearance

In some ways, Vesper is said to be an exact copy of his father, Pluto, but with his mother's eyes. He has a pale skin tone (thanks Dad), with jet black shoulder-length hair with warm amber-brown eyes, which are said to "warm the soul". He tends to wear black, like a lot, with chrysanthemums, which happens to be his favorite flower.

### Hobbies & Interests

#### *Gardening*

Vesper inherited his love for gardening from his mother, Proserpina, and grandmother/aunt, Ceres. He finds taking care of flowers relaxing and uses it as a way to get away from things when they get to be too much for him.

#### *Gemstones and crystals*

With his father as the God of Precious Metals, Vesper gained an affinity towards gemstones. Back home in the Underworld, he has a massive collection (one that Cascade thinks might be too much), which he treasures.

### Powers & Abilities

As the son of Pluto, Vesper is extremely powerful, having inherited nearly all of Pluto's powers, along with a minor power of his mother's powers over flowers. Though powerful, much like his best friend, Ivy, Vesper doesn't reveal it all.

#### *Powers*

* **Darkness manipulation:** As the son of the God of the Underworld, Vesper inherited his powers of the element of darkness. This is the power he is the most skilled in, just second to metals.
	+ **Shadow generation:** Vesper is able to generate shadows out of nothing and use them for everyday uses, and also attacks.
	+ **Shadow projection:** He is able to launch his shadows in the forms of attacks, such as bullets, waves, beams, and barriers.
* **Necromancy:** Vesper has mild control of necromancy which allows him allowing him to utilize magic involving the dead, death-force, and/or souls. He finds this ability just scary and tends not to use it.
* **Earth manipulation:** In addition, Vesper also inherited Pluto's power over the earth, but at a minor level. He doesn't use this power as much, usually preferring his power over darkness and the precious metals.
	+ **Precious metals manipulation:** As the son of the God of Wealth, Vesper inherited his father's power to sense, and control precious metals. Though, he doesn't use this power as much as his darkness.
* **Flower generation:** The only power he got from his mother, Vesper is able to generate flowers wherever he goes.

#### *Skillset*

* **Metal forging:** Vesper is rather skilled in forging metal to make things. He never learned this from anyone, not even his cousin Vulcan. It was self-taught.
* **Combat training:** Taught by his father, Vesper is extremely skilled in combat and can easily use his metal or shadows along with it.
* **Gardening:** As his mother of the Goddess of Flowers, it's evident that Vesper would get something from her, and it happened to be gardening. He finds gardening relaxing and able to help relax his mind.
* **Extensive knowledge over the seasons:** With his mother the Goddess of Spring, Vesper has learned quite a bit of the different seasons.
