Desmond Ciardha | |||||||||
| |||||||||
Appearance | |||||||||
THE BASICS | |||||||||
| |||||||||
OVERALL | |||||||||
Having an inherent aversion to the sun, Desmond's skin tone is a ghostly pale shade, sometimes appearing more gray-ish within the shadows of the night. His hair is an inky shade of raven black, with a silky and smooth appearance, having grown out passed his waist. It separates in thin wisps, framing a slender and long jaw with sharp masculine angles. He looks to be in his mid to late twenties. As depicted above in the scar category, Desmond harbors black markings that weave up his lower torso and the bottom half of his abdomen. They can also be seen on the tips of his fingers. The markings continue to slowly consume more of his body and occasionally light up, a glow of blue running through them like a wave. | |||||||||
Personality | |||||||||
POSITIVE TRAITS | |||||||||
| |||||||||
NEGATIVE TRAITS | |||||||||
| |||||||||
Abilities | |||||||||
DREAM MANIPULATION - STRONG | |||||||||
Desmond can create, shape, enter and manipulate the dreams of himself and others. He can also sense the dreams or daydreams of others as well as observe them. As he has the ability to create and bestow dreams or nightmares onto others, he can also enable lucid dreaming or trap others within REM. | |||||||||
ILLUSION MANIPULATION - INTERMEDIATE | |||||||||
Desmond can create, shape and manipulate illusions, causing targets to see, hear, touch, smell and/or taste things which do not actually exist or cause them to perceive things differently from what they truly are. Desmond cannot turn illusion into reality or solid mass, making the art more for elusive or defensive purposes. | |||||||||
CURSES - STRONG | |||||||||
Desmond has the ability to inflict curses upon people or items, consuming various amounts of energy dependant on the contents of the curse. From curses that immobilize targets, inflict disease, pain, bad luck, etc. Or curses upon objects to make them a festering ground for ghosts and paranormal activity, or curse a person into becoming a host for possession. Curses are certainly frowned upon and illegal, although working for the Assembly of Phantoms allows for more lethal usage of the art. | |||||||||
NIGHT VISION | |||||||||
Desmond has the ability to see in low light conditions and even total darkness. | |||||||||
FEAR INDUCEMENT | |||||||||
Desmond can evoke and increase fear and horror in others causing the target’s brain to release fear-inducing chemicals. The target’s perception may be altered, causing them to see their environment as ominous and the user as dark and foreboding. Currently, he has no control over the power and it emanates off of him in thick waves. | |||||||||
OTHER ADVANTAGES/DISADVANTAGES | |||||||||
self-sustenance: The ordinary physical needs of other beings are not necessary for Desmond. His body instead consumes fear energy. He has no need to eat, drink, or sleep. semi-immortality: He has the ability to cease his aging process, never having to suffer the ravages of aging. weak to sunlight: Like all other Boogeymen, Desmond suffers from an extreme weakness to sunlight and the daylight hours. It has the capability to scorch his skin, also giving him a weakness to fire-based magics, making burns excessively difficult to heal over time. | |||||||||
History | |||||||||
OVERALL | |||||||||
Desmond's true history has all but been forgotten, lost to time and madness. Memories fade and appear like projections come to life before his eyes, merging reality with dream, dream with illusion. They come and go, altered and twisted, diving him deeper into the abyss. Death clings to him like a dense and sticky fog; the mark of it slowly consuming more and more of his ghostly pale flesh. He is not well. Death stands at his door, the reaper the shadow that stretches long and twisted from either foot. The reaper is also a beast in the Assembly of Phantoms known as the Black Plague, pulling the Marianette lines to a puppet he has plunged into the darkest depths of insanity. | |||||||||
Miscellaneous | |||||||||
OVERALL | |||||||||
Zodiac is Capricorn. Birthstone is Blood Garnet. Desmond has amnesia and cannot remember much about himself or his past. He is also delusional, suffering from deranged illusions and dreams that make it impossible to decipher reality from hallucination. | |||||||||
