[b]32 | Demos “Demy” Castles (Kastellos) | He/Him [/b][hr//][i]"Mother won, but she was gracious."[/i][/center][/cell][cell]
[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]The no-nonsense leader of the Castles crime family, a small-time mafia trying to make it big in St. Portwell. They mainly hinged their success on Demos’ abstraction, but were ambushed by Phantasia and her men when the House of Cards had decided they’d had enough. Phantasia trapped Demos within her eyes, and he was powerless as she claimed the Castles family for her own. But she wasn’t entirely cruel. She allowed Demos to marry into the Vorpal family instead of being killed off. He, of course, complied.

Although their marriage was arranged, Phantasia knew what she was doing. Demos would never admit it outwardly, but he’s smitten with Valencia. Now, he faithfully serves in the House of Cards as a Capo with a smaller battalion of his men he was allowed to keep, fulfilling Phantasia’s every wish.[/indent]

[indent][i]Super Massive Black Hole[/i]
Demos is an adept, red lux, his earrings his channeler for his Super Massive Black Hole power. It can be broken down into three facets:

[i]Basic Miniature Black Hole[/i]

The basic example of his power. Demos is able to create a mini black hole, with dimmed power as compared to the black holes found in outer space. Due to their size, they usually last a matter of seconds, [i]maybe[/i] a minute. They have strong gravitational pull, able to draw in objects as large as cars or portions of concrete buildings if allowed to grow to the size of a sink. They always start off small, though, and require energy to grow in size.

They can be used to pull and enemy off-balance, or positioned above to counter the effects of gravity when falling. In extreme cases, enemies can be pulled into the black hole entirely if the black hole is large and powerful enough. When black holes are closed, they create a small seismic blast due to the energy remaining from the collapse.

[i]Rapid-fire Black Hole[/i]

A higher level of using the Super Massive Black Hole abstraction. This is when black holes are created at a rapid rate, more than one at a time. Their seismic blasts, upon collapsing, can buffet enemies, creating a dangerous atmosphere that’s possible to knock someone off their feet, and in extreme cases, blow off limbs.

[i]Black Hole Barrier[/i]

Multiple small black holes lined up in a shield formation, able to absorb most attacks like fire. Due to the instability of having so many black holes so close together, the barrier only lasts a few seconds before Demos has to collapse it.

[hider=Lorenzo]
[row][cell][h2][b]Lorenzo “Lee”[color=2e2c2c].[/color] Alloro[/b][/h2][/cell][cell][/cell][/row][row][cell][center][img]https://i.imgur.com/pTEXaRx.jpeg[/img]

[b]27 | Lorenzo “Lee” Alloro | He/him [/b][hr//][i]"The eyes, the eyes!"[/i][/center][/cell][cell]
[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]Lorenzo is the cousin to Demos, and was a capo of the Castles crime family before the House of Cards assimilated them. Lorenzo was always a little ‘strange,’ a little ‘out of touch with reality,’ and very blunt, bit of a hot-head, unforgiving. These were mainly due to the apparition adjoined to him, wearing down on his sense of self bit by bit over the years.

Due to his unique ties with madness, Lorenzo occasionally has ‘episodes.’ These were more or less quelled with Phantasia’s power. Now, with her out of the picture, Demos has once again started to supply Lorenzo with antidepressants and antipsychotics to help keep the man sane.[/indent]

[b]Abstraction:[/B]
[indent][url=https://imgur.com/9SN8JQd]Vorohah, The Madness[/url] - Aberration (Adjoined)

Vorohah is an apparition made up of darkness and eyes. Red, maddening eyes. To see one of Voroah’s eyes means to feel the debilitating effects of being under its gaze. Symptoms are known to be unexplained and irrational fear, sweats and chills, and psychotic behavior. Symptoms are amplified under the gaze of more than one eye.

When the madness wants to subdue a prey, and how Vorohah usually ‘attacks’ its foes, is by appearing as hallucinatory and physical eyes throughout the victim’s vision. Eyes appear on the walls, the furniture, and even on the body of the victim. Body eyes are more potent due to their close proximity and sick nature of having, [i]feeling[/i] a bulging, swiveling eye on your hand. The eyes don’t do anything on their own besides invoking a sense of madness. But they do whisper. Their whispers can’t be blocked out by simply covering the ears. The whispers are tailored to each victim. Vorohah is able to glean some of the pain in a person’s psyche, and whispers to them to exacerbate and increase that pain. 

Eyes have to be physically destroyed in order to be silenced. If an eye is on a body part, this can pose a problem, as stabbing the eye means stabbing the hand to destroy it. Eyes take time to open, so the longer Vorohah has to work on a victim, the more potent their effects are. When all eyes are opened, surrounding a victim, they will enter a ‘madness episode’ and act like a person who has lost their senses entirely, attacking friend and foe alike, gibbering nonsense. The only way it stops is if the eyes are destroyed, or are closed.
