Mikael Htrx
Mika
Origin Nation Name: Fynt Archipelago
Nation Description: The archipelago is located on the northern hemisphere where most of their lives are spent in cold, eternal night with only a few months basked in daylight. Not much is known about the archipelago, only that their borders are closed to anyone except the highest ranking leaders of the world nations and families of prestige. There are several groups of islands within the archipelago and each of have their own ruling family, although only a few of them are related by blood. Collectively, they are called Regents; several of whom hold great sway in ruling the nation and are recognized by their prowess and infamy. Few exit the archipelago and only persons of notoriety are permitted to do so. In recent times, an organization named Daemon Congregate is growing in power.

P E R S O N A L I T Y
Summary: Mikael is seen most of the time to be donwtrodden and hopeless. His expressions are mostly blank or sad and only a few times in between does he show something else. It reflects his internal emptiness, him being void of feeling. Most Htrx are extreme in terms of their emotions and Mika is no different. In order to banish this sense of hopelessness, he often seeks high risk situations and has brought himself right by the jaws of death one too many times. Other times, he is sated by those who come to him, wishing to forget, to which he does without hesitation - bringing intense pleasure and elation to him. He is a being of pleasure, a proper example of a Htrx through and through.
Mental Strengths: He's mentally weak but then, it doesn't matter because he has no sense of danger and would brush off anything to happen to him. If he does feel, he is too caught up in the euphoria that he feels that nothing else matters.
Mental Weaknesses: His disregard for anything makes him less aware of things around him. His indifference also causes him to make enemies, putting him in danger wherever he goes. And he's incredibly tactless. Oh, forgetful too.
Loves/Likes: thrills, intense emotions, danger, treasured memories, desire
Hates/Dislikes: idleness, boredom, being restrained, manipulation, hesitance
Fears: being unable to feel again, being alone
Brief Background
I don't remember my childhood. All I remembered was them. They were overjoyed when I woke up and I noticed I was almost an adult then. They showered me with attention, gave me everything I want; I thought they were my parents. But... they made me do something a parent would never let their child do. They made me do it, every single day of my life and I hated it. Yet, I couldn't stop, I didn't want to. All emotions that were fed into me, every single thing I took, every simple thing I made them remember, I took pleasure in them. I wanted more. But then, they crossed a line, farther than the one they crossed when they first made me do it. I snapped.
I took and took and took everything. I got rid of anything I didn't like, didn't take pleasure in. There was more about me, what I was able to do that they weren't. After a year, they turned into nothing, empty like what I soon became. While I took, something was lost inside me and when the Congregate found me, I discovered what it was and I knew then, I made a mistake. The Congregate didn't agree that I made a mistake, instead, they said I did the right thing. My creators did not care for me like theirs did and even when they knew they were fvcked up like me, they said my purpose was vile and my only choice was to end my creators. Leaving them empty was a mercy, the Congregate said. I should've devoured them and left nothing of who they were, everything that they were.
For a while, the Congregate sheltered me. They said the Regents couldn't know I existed. If they did, I'd be in a worse place, they said. So I stayed. But even then, the Congregate noticed missing parts of themselves. Even among our kind, I brought something dangerous and it was something they couldn't endure much longer. My only choice was to leave and I did. Now I'm somewhere new and the memories, the emotions! Exquisite.

Magic
- Extraction: Let's Mika extract memories from a person after sifting through the huge amount of memories they hold, both conscious and unconscious. Once he removes them from the person, they can not be returned. If Mika tries, the person will treat it as something foreign, damaging the mind.
- Mists of Memories: Mika breathes out cold air from himself and covers the area around him with fog. The fog holds echoes of the memories he extracted from people and entering it feels more like having a psychotic break, losing grip with reality and bombarded with alien memories. The least one could experience is hear whispers and the worst is complete mental breakdown.
Technology
- Communicator: One of the two pieces of technology Mika has. It lets him contact teh Daemon Congregate any time he wishes so. It only responds to his voice and unique magical signature.
- Credit Cuffs: Holds his money in digital currency. It is stored within both his cuffs on each hand. They look more like thin and sleek bracers with small, rectangular displays.
Skills
- Brawler: Mika fights with everything he got and he does not limit himself with what's considered chivalrous or dirty fighting.
Powers
- Throes of Desire: Direct physical contact with Mika coaxes one's desire to rear its head outward. Prolonged exposures makes a person become fixated with their desires, current or momentary. Mika uses this in place of his magic as he discovered that having people fixate and act on their desires leads to some interesting and exhilarating situations. He's noticed that certain people shrug off his touch and look at him in contempt; surprisingly, they feel like Htrx, only, not as heavy of a presence but with the lingering magic within them. He hates when this happens and nothing interesting under his influence happens.
- Hedon: Emotions and memories makes Mika experience immense pleasure, he feeds on them (other than physical sustenance). Not feeding or experiencing emotions and strong memeories makes him lust for more and in the worst case, steal from someone else without their consent and even devour all, leaving them empty shells. The also means that these memories and feelings can be used for magic, but shortening the sense of euphoria Mika adores.
- Inhuman Condition: The Htrx are fundamentally stronger than most humanoids and are multiple times stronger than what their physique presents. Mika can easily lift objects ten times his own weight and last for long periods of time when in a battle. Most mistake his as weak, with his lanky body and overall frailness.
O T H E R
Mika can surivive living linke a normal humanoid but without the proper amount of emotions being experienced, the more his actions are going to be erratic and uncaring of consequences. Because of this, he needs a steady supply of thrills and/or memories to sustain him.
He offers his services to let others 'forget'. Most mistake it for illicit and intimate services but he usually persuades them to leave a memory or two. Everyone has something they want to forget, after all. Or so he claims.

Player Input:
Why do you want to join this role-play?
Because of its setting and the idea of discover- building really - an entire world as the we go on.
What makes you think yourself to be dedicated enough to be accepted?
Creating and discovering are the two things I adore personally and this role-play offers a great many opportunities for it. Plus, it's great experience to create and discover worlds with fellow role-players.
If you needed a break because of real life, would you inform anyone on this RP?
Yes, I will. I have made those mistakes in the past, frequently. But now I will not, and must not flake out without informing others. No matter how I may feel, I'll drop by and say what keeps me from being active and when I can say I'll be back and playing.
