Name:
Castox Venali; usually goes by Tox
Age:
270
Race:
Occupation:
Procurer of goods and people
Allegiance:
Broddring
Physical Description:
Tox is very tall at 6’4”, and being on the run 24/7 has given him a toned, well-defined slim musculature along his entire body. Since he has a thin frame, however, it’s easy to see him as meek at first glance, especially with the clothes he wears. Tox has a fairly vampiric appearance, both with his paleness and the fact that he very strictly dresses in the colour black. His attire is always elegant and form-fitting, moving smoothly with him. Tox’s body is also laced with black ink tattoos that are all points and swirls. They litter his left arm, chest, back, right leg, and left hand. However, since Tox is usually fully dressed, only the hand tattoo is clearly visible.
Tox’s facial features are odd, but handsome in an unconventional way. He has very pronounced bone structure and sharp features- a wide forehead, square jaw, tall chin, triangular nose, sunken eyes, drawn lips and high cheekbones. His eyebrows are very dark, and two rows of large fangs can be seen whenever he opens his mouth. His hair is jet-black, and his eyes violet. However, this can easily lead to a huge amount of confusion as to what race he is- his features, height, hair and movements are very elf-like, but his teeth and eyes are feral.
Personality:
Castox is under the impression that he is the most terrifying creature to ever walk the earth. In this, he is sorely mistaken. Though his appearance can be frightening, the best Tox can pull of is ‘creepy’. He is the very definition of ‘creepy’. He often speaks and behaves in a way reminiscent of a sleazy Hollywood agent, smooth-talking his way out of most situations with words pouring out of his mouth at a million miles per minute. Greedy and self-centered, he has a considerable ego, believing himself to be not only the most terrifying, but also the best-looking, the smartest, and the strongest person in the world. He holds himself above all humanoids, even other vampires.
Narcissistic and dark, Tox is also highly cynical, with ever-changing moods that hint at a bipolar disorder. Egomaniacal, he can be laid-back and humorous one minute and flying into a murderous rage the next. Tox’s furious temper is usually displayed by making everything and anything explode into flames around him. He is just as suave, charming, witty and charismatic as he is arrogant, perverse, egotistical and devious. Normally sarcastic with an air that can easily be classified as ‘devilish’, his fast-talking ways easily pass him off as incredibly sleazy- which, to some extent, he is.
However, despite appearing to be evil, Tox has some good traits that surface at entirely random moments and take most people by surprise. He never fails to hold up his end of a bargain, and has a very powerful sense of right and wrong. He also does care for his subordinates, Anck included. After ten years together- though there is nothing romantic in their relationship- they have come to trust each other as close allies. This is mutually felt despite Anck technically being in Tox’s service, and is best seen when each is flung into a panic if the other is in danger.
Tox also has a very good grasp on reality- at least, when his mind isn’t clouded by overconfidence. He despises being a vampire and wishes to revert back into an elf, or even become human, for one simple reason- he fears immortality. Elves are technically immortal, but can die of sickness and injury, while Tox can only die of a stab to the heart. With immortality came Tox’s lost sense of identity and a lack of purpose, as well as his resentment towards others, especially humans, who are oblivious to the heartache of centuries past and live out their short lives with passion. The prospect of living forever is horrifically bleak to Tox, hence his need to undo becoming a vampire.
