Personality
Fragile and haunting, almost beautiful, Vereshin is a young mage dedicated to understanding the mysteries of the Dark Side. With an insatiable thirst for knowledge and curiosity which borders on outright dangerous, he lives on the fringes of society. Having been raised in a warrior culture, Vereshin harbors a deep aversion towards violence, which puts him at odds with his fellow Sith. He carries with himself with an optimistic attitude and appreciates the beauty in even the most twisted notions.
Rather than strike a blow directly, Vereshin utilizes curses and voodoo to keep his enemies at bay. While he does not go out of his way to cause harm, he will defend himself when necessary. Those who speak to him in private are often captivated by his immaculate manners and wicked sense of humor. While he exhibits mischief towards those who threaten him with physical harm, he is affectionate when he feels safe and genuinely sweet.
In public situations, Vereshin experiences stage fright and is prone to panic attacks in the event that he has to speak to large groups of people. He values etiquette almost as much as he values knowledge and quickly gains respect towards anybody who is polite to him in return. He constantly challenges his surroundings and writes scores of philosophy documenting his beliefs on the Dark Side.
Vereshin is attuned with his emotions, although not in the manner typical of a Sith. He experiences joy when he sees something beautiful and can be brought to tears if one of his theories is incorrect. He is bashful around women and chivalrous by habit, always placing the comfort of a woman in his presence before his own. A staunch vegan, he loves animals and resents the practice of altering creatures through alchemy.
Vereshin’s personal schedule and living space are almost always in a state of disarray. He neglects his health and often forgets to eat during periods of intense work. He smokes heavily and drinks copious amounts of black tea. With his childlike eccentricity and darkly optimistic outlook on life, he remains innocent in a bizarre way, having discarded social convention to pursue his life as a magus in the purest form.
Strengths and Weaknesses
By distorting light, Vereshin is capable of conjuring shapes and bending his surroundings to fool the naked eye. He can dissipate the particles making up his form to apparate into different shapes, usually choosing the form of a raven or a swarm of bats. He can conjure dopplegangers of himself which are powerful enough to cause harm and make himself invisible entirely.
As a seer, Vereshin can conduct delicate rituals to allow him to view the future, past and present. He can read the memories of objects and determine his own future by analyzing his dreams. He is capable of communicating with the deceased and manipulate spirits, although he prefers to appease a spirit rather than work against them. He can create demons of his own from pure Dark Side energy.
Conducting curses is Vereshin’s most offensive skill. He can curse individual either by preparing a delicate ritual or crafting an amulet from the essence of the victim, such a voodoo token. While he can imbue items with spells and design the properties of an amulet, he cannot craft the objects themselves. By utilizing telekinesis, he can collapse the mass of dense surfaces to travel through walls, although the walls must be within close distance.
Vereshin is a powerful user of the Force for his age. He is exceptionally intelligent and has developed a unique branch of mathematics, which can be used to write spells in the form of equations and read them aloud as equations. He has no skills with a lightsaber or any kind of weapon. While he is adept at manipulating other Sith in intricate circles, he cannot lead large groups or command troops due his stage fright.
Appearance
Vereshin is shorter than average and noticeably underweight. His abuse of the Dark Side has corroded his body, making it difficult for him to gain weight. His skin is just shy of true white and his irises are a brilliant, lime green. His hair is raven black, dead straight and slicked back. He has thick, arched eyebrows, a heart-shaped face and a slightly hooked nose. He has a modern taste in clothing and never wears robes, preferring suit pants and a jacket.
Vereshin is conspicuous by his gothic sense of style. He favors coats with standing collars and silk cravats with a silver pin attached to the breast, worn with a waistcoat or tailored jacket. He wears boots with pointed toes and silver buckles and black gloves. When relaxing, he wears a dark grey shirt and suit pants with a black cardigan. He has mathematical symbols tattooed on his hands.
