Virgil

''Virgil was a ranger. Raised in the Underdark by other dark elves, he was commanded to either become a skilled assassin or soldier, or join the labor ranks with the rest. He became a particularly adept sharp-shooter, with keen eyesight and natural stealth, and rose in the ranks. Even after he left his hometown and ventured topside with a new group of friends, his skills came in handy on their strange adventures.''

Virgil was ''a ranger – an expert with a bow, watching his allies from a distance and keeping them alive, stealthy and precise. However, the last time he went adventuring with his last group of ‘allies’, something happened to the three of them. Virgil woke up with a lacking memory, shaking hands, and a rogue force of lightning magic living within him, uncontrollable and volatile. After that, they 'drifted apart’. He’s been on his own for a little while now (well, aside from his pet spider, Valentine).''

''As our story begins, he finds himself faced with a choice. There are three people in cells – obviously innocent of whatever they’re being held for – and if he can keep his hands steady enough, he’s always been good at breaking locks… But should he help them escape?''

History
Virgil grew up in the Underdark in the service of the high priestess, and was later imprisoned for helping a prisoner [Thomas] escape. There he was found by Remus, who was in the process of breaking out himself and on a whim decided to

Some additional notes I couldn’t fit in but are fun to know:

- yes, that blue mess is a magical scar. he got it the same way he got his new magic powers. He hides them under bandages, but they don’t hurt or anything

- his perpetually messy ponytail is supposed to look like a storm cloud and a lightning strike!

- poor baby covers his purple eye because ‘impure blood’ is a very very awful thing where he comes from, and he doesn’t want to get yelled at

- boy is a cuddle bug!! I’m a sucker for touch-starved Virgil, what can I say

- he wears a skin-tight jumpsuit made of a special fabric, a giant spider’s silk, and a leather breastplate. It’s surprisingly good armor, and very light and silent. Drow assassins wear this garb, and Virgil still has them from when he was one.

- flexible boy!!! the pose was found on google images, i’m not that good lmao. With that rockstar Dexterity, he is fast, nimble, silent, and bendy. Like a ballet dancer on crack. Good at sneaking up on his friends, and kicking someone in the nose from an upright-standing position

- He keeps some of the material to dye his hair with him at all times, has to be re-done every month at the very least. He doesn’t like the trademark platinum hair of the drow, makes him stand out too much. (the purple arguably does the same thing, but fuck it, he likes the purple)

- His tempest magic causes,,,, various problems. It’s mostly concentrated in his chest and arms, and is activated by distress/emotion. The lightning he’s holding back makes his hands shake when he’s nervous, which makes his trademark sharpshooting very difficult.

Virgil is physically pretty set, but mentally lacking; this boy is not wise and this boy is not charismatic. It’s not entirely his fault – mostly the society he was raised in being generally awful and believing men didn’t have any place knowing things or learning to read. It explains his “shoot/run first ask questions never” attitude to some extent

Ideals
(True Neutral)


 * Survival – I will do whatever I have to do to keep myself alive.
 * Freedom – Chains are meant to be broken, as are those who would forge them.
 * Master – I am a predator. Death does not affect me, unless it is one of my own.
 * People – I’m loyal to my friends, and everyone else can take a trip down the Styx for all I care.
 * Caution – Everyone has an angle, even me. Blind trust is a death wish.
