*Art by Tamtamdi on deviantart **Draws heavy influence from the Slavic God, Veles or in some instances is referred to as Volos. Young men known as the Vucari would adorn sheep wool and masks and sing and collect gifts from households during Pagan celebrations that were said to transfer over to Veles to ensure good fortune and prevent angering the versatile god. Music: Touch here to play “To see the city burn to such a Sweet Melody. Paradisum!” “Down we go through Fire and Earth to set the world ablaze.” “Untempered and Unbound. Never Forfeit. Never Frown.” “They have not known my Wrath until they have known my Wisdom.” Basic Information A Male half-elf of unknown age who oftentimes goes by V. It is uncommon for him to announce his full name, Veles Volos Vucari, due to the repetition of sounds. Physical Description Veles is a well built, strangely handsome man with the a fury for life. All aspects of his existence are an amusement to him and because of this he very rarely allows people or situations to burden him opting to rather discard them instead. His hair, a truly outrageous mass of unkept wooly tangles, would often trip him up and is usually cascading over his side or back in a ponytail and at times wound as tightly as possible into a bun. The entire body of this wiry being is laced with spindly veins physically demonstrating his obsessive nature over his own body and his lack of regard to even his own safety. His hands are adorned with numerous calluses, scars and burns and his feet are rough due to never wearing shoes and are almost monkey-like in their ability to grip and maneuver space. There seems to be nothing but force, ferocity and fire to him and that is displayed in everything he does from walking to smirking. Vocal Description An eerie quality surrounds his speech that treads a line between the savagery of a wolf and the cunning ire of a provoked snake waiting to strike. A hunter to his core and deceptively intuitive, Veles sees fit to use his voice as one would use an instrument. Where others would be monotone and stagnant in their use of sounds Veles’ way of speaking is irregular, often not matching up to his thoughts or actions. He enjoys playing with sounds and crafting the use of his voice as one would craft a harmonies to a song and as he speaks a sense of amusement fills the sounds produced as if he found every topic in life at least slightly funny. His laugh ranges from a quiet snicker to uproarious chortling but never really a middle ground displaying a carefree attitude when it comes to social interaction.

Health: Physically Healthy. Pyromaniac, Borderline Personality Disorder, Narcissistic, megalomaniacal, attention-seeking sadist with delusions of grandeur. Personality Veles craves attention and will go out of his way to ensure he is noticed and remembered. There is a fire in his eyes that shows determination and strength but his twisted smile reveals darker intentions. He knows quite well what is right and wrong and will choose wrong every time simply because it is wrong. The world is imbalanced in his eyes and he believes it is part of his destiny to ensure the scales are equally weighed. This half-elf is exuberant in all aspects of life maybe even growing bored with the thought of his long life. Though a true wild card Veles may even make friends with rather good people and does not always act to necessarily hurt others but he knows no true loyalty as he would rather destroy another's beauty and life than see his own reality collapse and because of this he is selfish to a fault. His agenda is sporadic and sometimes incoherent or nonexistent. Veles enjoys music perhaps more than anything else and will likely stop to listen whenever it is present as to him music is the most magical creation one can achieve.

Though he pretends he can talk directly to several different aenguldaemons he enjoys infiltrating and abusing those from other orders.

It can be assumed that some form of neglect, abuse and even torture pushed the half-elf past the breaking point long ago and that the person who is Veles is a product of his environment.
