Stealing From The Shadows

~Leader of an irken theiving guild with a few shadowy tricks up his sleeve~

[thieving-irken-erebus]

OH THEYRE BAYBIES I LOVE THEM

“I’m glad you do! I’m sure they love you too!” 

[thieving-irken-erebus]

Hehe your eyes remind me of gold... do you ever steal gold? What kind of things do you steal, anyways? Monies?

“I do steal gold and monies~ Those aren’t my priorities however, I steal relics and items that are necessary for survival for those who come to me. I try to help out others when I can, so I also steal what others ask me to, as long as it aligns with my morals. I could just buy some things with the monies I steal but, where’s the fun the playing fair?~”

[thieving-irken-erebus]

Where did you meet your pet?

“Interesting question you ask~ I met them while I was out on a mission for a client, turns out…there are more beings aligned with darkness than I thought…poor thing was left out in the cold, I couldn’t leave them like that. No way in Irk.”

He pets blossom’s head, with her snuggling up closer to him. 

“I wrapped them into my coat and took them home and surely enough, we became family.”

There’s a trio of happy barks at that and Erebus laughs. 

“They seem to agree too.”

[thieving-irken-erebus]

How old are you?

“Uhm..Let’s see... 320 years in irken but, if you want something that’s suited to earth then I’m around 29. Actually, I think my birthday is coming up soon~ I think it’ll be a purr-fect time to cause some mischief in a few....noble parties.”

[thieving-irken-erebus]

No keep it its fine

(Continuing from this ask/post)

“I-…. I’ll keep your hearts then. I’ll take very~ good care of them for you~” He chuckles for a bit, “I would never break them.”

[thieving-irken-erebus]

Well aren't you the Marvelous looking Fella! Do you have any pets? And how did you meet your friends?-Day/Formicidae

Pets? Oh I have one! 

[There’s shuffling and a few barks in the background.]

Meet Blossom, Buttercup and Bubbles. Bubbles has a tendency to chew on my pillows so, I try and keep her entertained with chew toys. I found them on a “trip”. They’re like me in a way, partly shadow. 

As for how I met my friends, I took them in. Wrei was on the run and I saved her at the last moment. Berr on the other hand, came to me personally, he was a mess, but if he had the guts to try and find me, then he’s earned some respect. I saved both of them from the clutches of the empire’s plans really...It’s a shame that if you’re not “perfect” or “different” you’re killed or captured for experimenting or maybe something even worse. 

I’m glad I’m off the radar for now though.

[thieving-irken-erebus]

What do you like to do besides stealing?

Potions, I like making potions.

I am quite the master of the craft if I do say so myself~

[thieving-irken-erebus]

,um, hello sir! you look really cool, the big black swishy thing behind you is nice.. uh, i dont know what else to say, so have a good day, sir!!, -lit

Oh thank you! I appreciate it! I hope you have a good day too~ 

Feel free to come back anytime~

[thieving-irken-erebus]

(( not an ask but just some random piece i drew~ ))

[thieving-irken-erebus]

What does the symbol on your head mean?

Oh that thing? It’s a rune actually, I got it a long...long time ago. It’s permanent so I can’t really wash it off or anything like that. I’ve looked in some old lore and myth books, this apparently means shadow or something of that form, it’s called xyria I believe?

It’s a part of me now though, can’t change much.

[thieving-irken-erebus]

So cerberus you are the Ultimate Edginess, We have a shop here you might like called Hot Topic. *more laughing before he clears his throat* sorry sorry imjust terrible~ Anyway any members you are very close with?-Eye patched irken.

Pff- “Ultimate Edginess”? That’s a way to describe me! Maybe I would like Hot Topic, perhaps you’ll have to show me one day? Or perhaps not. 

As much as I love all my members, I only have around 2 I’m close with and I see them as siblings. Wrei is a darling, she’s the sweetest lil thing! Her fur is just the softest and gives out the best hugs too but, her ways with a crossbow can be dangerous. Berr is a troublemaker but, he means well. His vision isn’t the greatest but he has his ways with words and information, quite talented!

[thieving-irken-erebus]

Are those burn scars?

. . .

No...I wish they were though, it’s better than the horrible reminder I have to wake up with everyday and every time I look into any mirror or reflective surface...

[thieving-irken-erebus]

*a Drone delivers flowers and chocolates Shaped like hearts*

!!!!

T-thank? You?

Wait are these chocolates my favorite kind- oh my irk, they are

[thieving-irken-erebus]

You guys..only allow Irkens? Asking for a friend of course, you probably don’t allow non Irkens..unless 👀- Sorvux

What kind of guild would I be if I didn’t allow non-irkens? We’re all family here~ Just prove your worth to us and we’d prefer if you don’t leak us out to any form of enforcement, let’s say we’re wanted in a lot of places (especially me).

[thieving-irken-erebus]

(( While mun is working on asks here’s Erebus’ ref sheet!!! ))

(( Sidenotes: the symbol is also on the back-flap of the coat, and his markings are like, all over but the ones on his hands and neck are more visible than the rest and yes, his bag has potions ))

[thieving-irken-erebus]

what's that thing behind you? is it a thing on the wall or? sorry if its personal or somethin, but it looks cool

wha- oh you mean this?

It’s my tail!

[thieving-irken-erebus]

A master thief of all things valuable, and yet you’ve still stolen everyone’s poor hearts.

!!!!

[Erebus stays silent for a while before coughing up some type of reply.]

St-stolen your hearts? W..well I could gladly give them back to you, I can’t let those who like me go without it then.
