Nicknames/Aliases:

Gender:
Male.
Gift:
Dream Manipulation.
Loyalty:
Erubesco Lord.
Description:
Niklaus is of average height, standing in around 5"10 and built very thin. He has a reedy sort of built but he is broad-shouldered in a way that is often familiar of Santora men. He is slightly handsome with a fairly proportional face and a hard jaw, though there is something very off about the creases in his skin. He seems to have been lined with stress very severely.
His eyes, green in shade, are hollow-looking and heavy-lidded. His skin is dappled in faint scarring, it marks his arms and hands mostly but there can be some found in his neck and face as well. He has dusty brown hair, very light in shade and a prominent aquiline nose. His lips are thin and sharp and often pulled into a grin that is far too pleased.
Often adorned in brightly colored noble clothing, he can certainly seem quite flashy at times. On his left hand in place of a missing pointer appears to be a silver claw encrusted in glittering jewels.
Personality:
Niklaus has reached a special point just beyond unhinged. He can be spoken to but he will often come off as threatening or defensive. His mood swings can be rapid and unplanned, they're extremely volatile and violent. He is bright and friendly but it's a friendliness that borders on creepy at times, he has an unnatural cheerfulness about him that shines through vibrantly. He is prone to making jokes and happy commentary.
He is an extreme sadist, relishing in the pain of others, especially those who are defenseless. He thrives on suffering and loves to be the cause of it, he tends to lash out violently in arguments, often going overboard. It can be extremely hard to convince him that he is wrong and at times it is best to just agree with him and stroke his ego. That ego is massive and he has a tendency to display it in grand displays of power or surrounding himself in large and beautiful things.
He can come off as childish at times, easily distracted or confused. He seems to have little to no sense of identity. When asked about himself, he will often have no answers. His memory is heavily faulty though it's only displayed in things relating to his identity.
Skills:
- He can create, shape, enter and manipulate the dreams of himself and others, including modifying, suppressing, fabricating, influencing, manifesting, sensing, and observing dreams as well as nightmares, daydreams, ect. He can produce and modify dreams, bestow nightmares or lucid dreaming, entrap people in REM, and promote spiritual/emotional healing within dreams.
- He has some prior training in battle.
Weaknesses:
- Should he use his abilities too often, he can succumb to a kind of narcolepsy. He loses control over when he's awake and when he's asleep, these sleeps will usually end in tremendous nightmares. When he's awake, he'll find himself hallucinating and groggy. For his own mental health, it's best that he uses his powers sparingly. These side effects pass in time.
People with psychic based powers will find it much easier to dissuade him without upfront attack, though they can also fight him easily in the dream realm if they need to.
Any injuries inflicted upon him in a dream will reflect upon his waking body, meaning that he can die in a dream and die in the waking world simultaneously.
- He is extremely easy to manipulate and seems to take everyone's words for automatic truth.
- His instability leads to extreme decisions.
Brief History:
It's speculated that Niklaus grew in a household with a senselessly cruel father that later died of a mysterious illness, he inherited the title of Lord and has been living out his days in luxury.
Another young lord had been adopted into their home when Niklaus was only six years old and it was seen as rather odd.
Many believe that this young man was brought into their home as a way of teaching Niklaus some propriety but it has yet to be disclosed.
Currently, Niklaus appears to be sharing his estate with that other lord.
Other:
His left pointer finger has been replaced with a jewel encrusted metal claw.
Nicknames/Aliases:
Rich, Richie.
Age:
26.
Gender:
Male.
Gift:
Shadow Manipulation.
Loyalty:
Erubesco Lord.
Description:
Richmond is a tall and devilishly handsome man, he stands in around six foot even, built lean and long. He has a headful of raven black hair that's kept very tidy. He has sharp eyes, such a dark brown that they often appear to be black. His skin is very pale and almost flawless.
He carries some muscle in his arms and chest, though he would not appear to be particularly powerful upon a glance. He has a natural elegance and grace about him, a hard jawline and a skulpted mouth. The only thing that offsets his natural beauty are the dark circles that can be found beneath his eyes.
His attire is traditional for one of his status, he doesn't bother with eye-catchy trinkets.
Personality:
To put it in one word, the man is snarky, driven by an urge to always get the last word in. He does not like being told what to do and he is fiercely independent. He is incredibly intelligent, able to work things out quickly and perceive immediate solutions to most problems.
He has little to no acknowledgement for the feelings of those around him and feels no drive to help those in need. He can be very serious at times, though there are other moments where it seems that he gets a kick out of messing with people. He likes strong reactions and has fun gauging them.
There is a cruelty about Richmond that may not be seen at his surface, an edge to the man that likes to cause harm and relishes in the pain of those he seems worthy. It's unlikely that part will be seen when speaking to him, often times his polite nature wins out.
Skills:
- The ability to create and manipulate shadows, he can void light from an area and plunge it into darkness. He can manipulate shadows to take the forms of creatures or people.
- He has a lot of will and doesn't give in very easily.
- He's a natural leader.
Weaknesses:
- Nothing he creates is sentient, they're basically shadow puppets and not particularly exciting ones.
- Plunging a room or area into darkness wears him down very quickly.
- He's not much of a fighter.
Brief History:
Strangely, little to nothing is known of Richmond Durmont except that his family is rather reclusive and seems to keep to themselves. At six he was sent to live with Niklaus and later inherited his title. He has yet to leave the Santora estate and appears content there.
Other:
One of his eyes appears to be forming a cataract.
