Radriel Tayloreth

Death/Reaper Elf

Radriel Tayloreth, formerly David Petrov, is a Reincarnated Otherworlder. He acts as the protagonist of That Time I Got Reincarnated as an Overpowered Elf. He is the current ruler of the Magic Nation Venjung.

## Appearance

### Human

Prior to his reincarnation, David was an elderly man in his late 80s. He had a weary and malnourished build, due to his constant neglect of his body's needs in favor of his research.

### Death Elf

A few years after his reincarnation, Radriel could be described as androgynous due to his soft features. He has silver, shoulder-length hair. His eyes are a shiny gold with bits of crimson around the pupils.

While he still lived in Ulgrassia as a Death Elf, he wore black pants, light brown boots and a long-sleeved white shirt, as well as a red "scarf" with sewn gold patterns that was meant to be an obi (but was worn as a scarf, because it "looked cooler").

### Reaper Elf

His appearance did not change much following his evolution to a Reaper Elf, with the only notable difference in his physicality being a slight increase in his height and his hair darkening ever so slightly.

He wore a number of outfits over his time traveling as a Reaper Elf, though his most prominent one; the one he acquired from the Stinada Republic after his original one was tattered while protecting it; was more suited for adventuring. It consisted of a red shirt with gold linings underneath a brown tunic, light brown pants, leather boots. He still wore his scarf, however it was somewhat tattered even after the repairs it received, so he would tend to leave it in his bag whenever he was getting ready for combat so as not to damage it further.

### Overlord Elf (True Demon Lord)

After awakening as a True Demon Lord and evolving into an Overlord Elf, Radriel gained 12cm to his height, appearing as a lean of between the ages of 16 and 19 years. During this period, he could be seen wearing an outfit comprised of a sleeveless white tunic with long black detached sleeves, baggy black pants with with reddish-golden outlines along with black and gold shoes.

He wears a brand new scarf that matches the color scheme of his new outfit. On his right wrist are two golden bracelets.

### Celestial Overlord

Following his "evolution" due to the reawakening and unification of Velmada's core, Radriel appears as a well-toned man in his mid 20s. He wears somewhat of an inverse of the outfit he wore as a True Demon Lord, consisting of the same pair of black and gold shoes over white pants with dotted-line patterns on either side of both his legs, a sleeveless black shirt and fingerless black gloves that stop just below his elbows, with gold ornaments around both wrists and two gold rings that hold the gloves to his middle and ring fingers.

He uses his old "scarf", now repaired and slightly altered, for its intended use as an obi-like wrapping around his waist, which he uses as a holster for Jörmungandr. At times he drapes a white haori with red and gold rings around the sleeves over himself. His hair changed color to a pale shade of lavender with strips of black.

## Personality

Radriel tends to get absorbed into his work, no matter what it may be that he's working on at the time, which often causes him to shut out the rest of the world to do so. However, if there's ever a time where he isn't involved in practice of some form, he's considered to be somewhat antisocial due to his lack of interactions in his previous life. But, if someone manages to form a somewhat close relationship with him (or at the very least, start a decent conversation with him) he's rather kind and polite, able to calm the most belligerent of people to a state of rationality in a matter of seconds, and often risking his own comfort and well-being for the sake of the people he cares for. This goes doubly for those closest to him, such as his subordinates and individuals such as Lisa Van Daal and Roxul Inudraga, whom he views in a light familial light and goes to extreme lengths for to ensure their safety and comfort, going as far as to grant skills, finances and emotional support without prompting, unless asked specifically not to do so.

Despite this kindness, he has been shown to hold grudges for extended periods of time, and, depending on the severity of the grudge, could diverge into a state of near-animalistic ruthlessness and cruelty, most infamously with his father, Clayman, for whom he decided to venture the world for over 50 years in search of for the sole purpose of killing him as an act of vengeance for his mother's death at his hands. More on this, when his limits are pushed enough, there is not a single action that is beneath him, including acts like extremely harsh torture and the murder of innocents, things that would typically go against his self-imposed moral compass.

Radriel is shown to be an inherently competitive individual, often going to unprecedented lengths to outdo someone, even if he doesn't realize that he is. He is quick to envy others for things that he doesn't have, and at times displays a rather greedy side of himself when he chases after achieving what they have.

## Synopsis

Before reincarnating, Radriel (David Petrov, at the time) was an 84-year-old German man who spent a majority, if not all, of his time in his lab, either delving into some form of literature or practicing some form of science, driven by his near-insatiable hunger for knowledge and new discoveries. This would lead him to push several things to the side in favor of his research, including family, friends, and his bodies needs (food, water, etc.).

He mostly lived off of microwavables and deliveries, however as his focus drifted more and more towards his research, he'd eventually drop that. Eventually, malnourishment, dehydration and several untreated diseases would be the end of him.

Afterwards, he was reincarnated as a Death Elf within the Ulgrassia Republic.

## Trivia

* The image currently being used for Radriel was hand-drawn by me, and is simply a placeholder until I get better at art ;-;.
* Radriel has Thalassophobia (the fear of large, deep and/or dark bodies of water, like the ocean).
* Though Radriel does have a distaste towards acts of, as he calls it "unnecessary cruelty", he does not tend to feel much in terms of sympathy or pity if these acts are being performed on someone who he considers to have "wronged him", with the only exception to this being cases such as Gorgon, whom he only restored to a state of sentience for the sake of his family.
* Radriel is notoriously bad at naming things (in his opinion).
