Character Overview

clever • cold • standoffish • fierce • unyielding


Verloren is a somber and extremely reserved person, who constantly looks like he despises everyone around him -- because he mostly does. Only happy when he's by himself working on personal projects of magic research, he tends to snap at people who try to get too close to him, typically by growling and sometimes biting them, especially if they dare touching him in any way.

A mage of exceptional skill, Verloren discovered that it is possible to use the souls of creatures -- or people -- as a source of magic. He dedicated his life to studying this form of magic, and achieved impressive crafts which gave him unbelievable power.

Character Connections
Main

Sellatrix was basically Verloren's only friend, although it took him a long time to consider her as such. Unlike most people, she was always interested in his crazy magic theories so they were able to have interesting conversations about all sorts of crafts, which often extended to subjects beyond just magic. She even managed to learn how to make some soulmagic, making her the first one other than him to succeed. Much like Verloren, Sellatrix had also always been a bit of an outcast unable to relate to her peers, so she grew pretty fond of spending time with the only person around she could actually have fun discussions with, and they became quite close. But when Verloren went on his murderous path, she could not stand by and watch him head to his own destruction, so she had to let go of her friend. Sellatrix left the castle, never to see him again, leaving behind a feeling of emptiness that Verloren never thought he could feel.

.

Being a soulseer, Mitzer was able to detect the presence or absence of souls in soulmagic works, which made him very useful to Verloren. His timid and quiet demeanor also made him far more tolerable to have around than most other people Verloren had to put up with and they rarely had any conflicts -- although that was in part because Mitzer was somewhat wary of Verloren due to what he had heard about him. Mitzer also managed to learn some soulmagic, so when Verloren eventually needed an assistant, Mitzer became his apprentice. By teaching him more in-depth about soulmagic, Verloren could ask him to work on simpler crafts while he had more time to focus on his main projects. But although Mitzer was useful and they could get along nicely, Verloren never considered him truly a friend.

.

Wip. She loves talking and talks absolutely far too much for Verloren's taste.

.

Hawthorn hated Verloren and only barely tolerated him because they were forced to work on the same team. Verloren was generally indifferent towards him, however, and was mostly immune to his taunts and threats. Hawthorn would attempt to make snarky comments at any opportunity but Verloren found these petty insults hardly worth engaging seriously with, often making Hawthorn look like a fool and making him hate him even more.

Relatives

Other

Fergulean was a teacher at the magic school of Luno-Vyke, where Verloren studied. From the kinds of questions he asked in class, Fergulean quickly figured out what kind of potential Verloren would have, and decided to adopt him as an apprentice. He was always supportive of Verloren's ideas and experiments, and assisted him where he could, always teaching him valuable lessons as well.

.

A maned wolf from Mazaquatlan who was Fergulean's apprentice before Verloren. She would still come around to visit her master at times, getting to know Verloren and teaching him concepts of magic and souls from her homeland. She was supportive of his ideas of magic using souls and gave him useful suggestions.

Notes
Character creation date: created as a vague concept sometime in 2012 probably, developed a bit in 2018, redesigned in 2020, then significantly revamped in 2023 (current design)

Verloren is a character created mostly to be a historical figure which I never expected would be too relevant aside from being mentioned in some places, and yet here we are...
