Pylon wishes to welcome VIDEI the CUSTODIAN from PURGATORY as an official METALWORKER/LINGUIST to the new world!
(Please follow the admin twitter within 48 hours of acceptance)
Faceclaim (real name, alias/stage name, occupation): Park Chanyeol, EXO Name: Videithari Nicknames: Videi Age: He’s not quite sure at this point, mentally however he’s about 25 now Birthday: Unknown Race: Alien (”Custodian”) Physical Appearance:
Videi has two forms.
His original form is taller than the tallest of humans. He’s slender, with skin as pale as snow, limbs too long for his body, and teeth menacingly sharp. His eyes are completely black, although this is due to the pupils expanding in order to see better in the dark tunnels he used to inhabit.
In his human form he’s still quite lanky which is something he can’t seem to hide properly, but his height is at least still plausible for a human. He has naturally white/light blonde hair and very dark eyes. His ears stick out quite a bit, which is something he’s come to quite like about his human form.
Role Category: Livelihood (& social sciences) Occupation: Metalworking (& linguist) Personality:
Videi is extremely curious. Even though he has matured quite a bit during his search for his friends, he still hasn’t lost his almost childlike wonder for anything unfamiliar.
When the situation calls for it he can act with the maturity and wisdom of someone who has lived a long, full life– which he technically has by Earth’s standards, as Custodians age much slower than humans.
He can be extremely stubborn and moody when he doesn’t get his way and will purposely irritate others just for the fun of it.
Background:
In an almost Little Mermaid-esque way, Videi spent all his life underground wishing he could live above it with the humans. Before he was born his people, commonly referred to as Custodians, lived in a realm that was theirs entirely. They were forced to find another home however when the resources dried up and it became inhabitable.
A deity chanced upon them and they came to a deal. The Custodians would help the deity maintain purgatory in exchange for a place to live and all the resources they could ever need. So the Custodians abandoned their home and took up residence below a city in purgatory. They built rabbit warren-like tunnels, so many until they had entire self-sustained cities of their own.
Videi, unlike his older relatives, was intrigued by the humans living above them. He eventually even made friends, Hyungwon and Yeongsik. The two purgatory residents were the reason Videi decided to leave his home in the first place. For a while he had no destination, he went from world to world, his curiosity guiding him. Until he started to feel oddly homesick, but it wasn’t for purgatory, it was for his friends.
Family/Ties: Videi considers Hyungwon and Yeongsik his family, or at the very least his closest friends. Basic Homeworld Info (the world your muse comes from):
The Custodians used to have their very own home, until the resources dried up and they were found by a deity. They came to a mutually beneficial deal and decided to share what is now known as purgatory.
They created a giant rabbit warren-esque city underneath purgatory, where they were mostly farmers, inventors, and also the clean up crew for the disastrous world above theirs, which is how they got the name “Custodian”.
Extra Abilities:
His irises are able to expand enough for him to see in pitch blackness.
In his original form he is able to bite through flesh and bone with his sharp teeth and at times even through metal, although that can harm him.
He’s deceptively strong for someone with his lanky frame and can throw the average human around like a ragdoll. Which he mostly does when he’s excited.
He can speak several languages, three of which aren’t “human”.
Weaknesses:
Direct sunlight. Not only does it hurt Videi’s eyes but he also burns faster than most, despite having what can be considered human skin now.
Any kind of medication. Nothing seems to sit well with his stomach, he’ll vomit it all right back up. His Custodian system isn’t used to these kind of things. Custodians never really get sick, and if they’re injured they can simply regenerate using a sacred artifact, but sadly Videi doesn’t have that with him. It’d be a little difficult to transport an entire river in his pocket, although lord knows he would’ve tried.
He’s very easily distracted by the things he likes. Denim, action movies, birds, birds wearing denim.
