This Hollow World: Vol'Reis

Full Name: Vol’Reis

Pronunciation: Vohl-Race

Nick Name (s) Or Alias: Whatever name she thinks suits her disguise. Vol to people she trusts her real identity to.

Age: 200 years

Race: Demon

Gender: Female

Continent of Birth: Kor’Nish

Height: 6 feet

Weight: 100 lbs

General Appearance: Dark grey skin with crimson tattoos and digitigrade legs ending in three clawed toes. Another claw comes out of her heel and gives the impression of a stiletto heel shoe. Her arms are long and she has three fingers and a thumb on both hands. She has rather large webbed wings which she often wears like a cloak, the thumbs on the wings clasping together. She has a tail with a grasping claw on the end. She has long, dark hair similar to that of a human that she wears in a long braid. She has neither eyes nor a nose. Her mouth is slightly disproportionately large to her face and filled with pointed teeth.

Preferred style of clothing and accessories: Vol often does not wear clothing. In her disguises as the other intelligent races, she prefers to wear cloaks, robes, and dresses. She often keeps her wings clasped together and her tail wrapped around her legs to mimic a dress clinging to them. She often displays her blindness in her disguises with blindfolds or milky eyes and the like.

Personality: Vol is strange. She does not give off any hints at what she is thinking and she does not seem to act with any real direction or meaning. Vol simply seems to live in the moment and make up her entire life as she goes along. She has a skewed way of looking at everything from a moral and ethical standpoint, but then again so do all Demons. Vol has a deep seated love for acting. She thinks up convoluted and Machiavellian backstories for imaginary people she poses as. She takes her acting to a whole new level and completely changes any fighting style of hers to mirror that of what she is posing as. She is playful and unpredictable. There are very few things that can make her angry and even fewer things that will surprise her.

Likes: Games, Acting, A good story, raw beef, and Romance.

Dislikes: Interlopers, Party Poopers, Steamed Vegetables

Fears/Phobias: Death, Being found out by those she does not trust.

Hobbies: Acting, Playing Pranks, Throwing Wrenches in Plans, Stealing.

Skills/Abilities (Different from Character stats. More story like than statistic-like): Vol is completely blind. She sees through the eyes of the people around her. She has the ability to twist the perceptions of those around her. Sight, Hearing, Smell, and Taste are all things she can mold. She may be able to control them, but she does not do more than give herself disguises with the ability. She refuses to alter the perceptions of those around her unless it is to help sell a disguise she is wearing. In addition to these abilities, she is naturally charming and dexterous. She often keeps several knives on her person in case of conflict.

Family: Depends on what role she is playing.

Background: Vol’Reis was an ambush predator when she first crawled out of the void. She would pretend to be a tree with edible fruit to take down Kra. She would appear to be some fresh carrion to eat scavangers. She would appear to be a lonesome baby animal to hunt predators. As she grew in size and intelligence, she witnessed acting and entertainment for the first time. She was instantly into it and became obsessed with creating all of these distinct characters with their own personalities and backgrounds. The characters became increasingly elaborate as she learned new vocabulary and cultures. Eventually when she had gotten a firm grasp on language and society, she traveled to the Grey Sphere and proceeded to travel from there.

Sample RP post: Vol’Reis sat in The Siren’s Tail, a rather small tavern in Vale. It was rather bland in the décor but the food there was amazing. Vol was currently disguised as a human mercenary named Vanessa Cortez. She hunched over a mug of ale and appeared to be brooding. She didn’t bother looking up as she saw an obviously drunk man stand up and make his way towards her. She swapped vantage points to look from the eyes of this drunkard as he neared. She grinned at an opportunity to test out this new character. Her disguise sighed and muttered, “Another day, another drunkard who thinks he’s a gift to women around the world.”
She took a swig of the ale and began to clean her fingernails with one of her knives. When the man approached her, she did not even let him say anything before she yawned in his face. She pointed her knife at him, “Not interested, get lost.” She growled. The hard look from the eye-patched mercenary stopped the drunkard cold. He opened his mouth to say something before closing it and simply walking away, equal parts hurt, confused, and drunk. Vol snickered under her disguise as she downed the rest of her ale.

For those of you who missed my Journal on the topic, the reason I have been so inactive was because I have begun work on a large project off of the dA site.  An RP/RPG/Other General Write-ery and Art-ery forum set in a custom setting of mine.  I believe I got all of the necessary chunks of the lore written out and posted and as of now it is just a matter of making the rules of the forum.

Here's a link to the forum for those interested. s13.zifboards.com/Notchthegrea…  I'll try to post a bunch of the stuff I've done over there to the dA.  I'll wait to post the race information until I draw refs for them.
