Vox Ylindar

Details

For a citizen of Ravaryn, Vox looks perfectly normal. He has a pale complexion with the signature wavy hair of the royal family. His eyes are blue, not grey, and they often carry a mischievous spark with them. Vox is lean and slender, having gained this build from the many times he had to run and hide from guards and to help him slip through small spaces to get what he wants.

His clothing is usually of toned down colors and he is barely ever seen wearing bright ones. When out in the world he disguises himself as a commoner with loosefit clothing, roughspun cloaks and easygoing shoes. When back at the castle he still isn't very much dressed as someone who belongs to the royal family as he often doesn't care how he looks.

Vox hides a big bitemark on his shoulder. While it is healed now, it is clear that it did a lot of damage and he still sometimes suffers from pains coming from that place.

Vox is an annoying little brat. He never really had to worry about things in his life and it shows. He can be reckless at times and he is someone who takes risks before thinking of the consequenses. He gets himself into tight spots often, but the years have also taught him how to get out of them. He can be cocky, but he always tries to make friends first. While Vox is more on the introverted side, he hates to be alone and rather goes out to socialise. This can tire him out immensily, but anything is better than the feeling the ever present feeling of lonliness. He thinks he has a lot of friends, but he barely knows people, and sometimes these people just use him for his fancy name.

He likes to scheme and be mischievous, joke and fool around but he never means it in a harmful way. Vox is just looking for friends, not enemies, but because of his aloof ways he doesn't always get what he's looking for. Nevertheless, he walsk around with a spark in his eyes and a grin on his lips, as if he knows things that others don't.

Vox likes to stick his nose into people's business. It doesn't matter if that person is a merchant, a nurse, a guard, or just someone who happens to be crossing paths with Vox. Its his way to gain information and report back to his boss or to anyone else who offers enough coin. Besides his profession, Vox is loyal to his family and he knows that without them he would be nowhere. Because of this, he also knows that he would never refuse if they would ask something of him, no matter how big the risks or how dangerous the favour will be.

Vox early life was easy. He had loving parents, a warm home and a fancy title that kept any dangerous things or people at bay. Because of all these positives, Vox was relatively spoiled at a young age. He ran around to pull pranks with the family's staff, got into trouble and overall pretended that nothing could hurt him. This continued on for a while. Until he turned eleven.

In that year, everything changed for him. While everything had been going great until then, it suddenly felt like the world was swept underneath his feet when his parents were murdered. Poison. They had been caring and loving as of Ravaryn standards and had very few enemies, ignoring the usual enemies a royal family has. Suddenly Vox was parentless. And he took it hard. It felt like the foundation of his life had suddenly crumbled and he had no idea what to do with it. He was lucky to have been born in the royal family and they allowed him to stay in the castle, or else he'd been on the streets now. Vox took a long time to process his grief. In fact, he still hasn't fully processed it. But due to the customs that come with saying goodbye to the dead, he has no place to express this grief.

After the death of his parents, Vox became reckless. He went out and away from castle grounds to get into trouble, be it with commoners or with guards. He would do anything to distract himself from the terrible grief that weighed his shoulders down. On one of those adventures, Vox came into contact with a lycantrope. He has never spoken in detail about what happened, but it was clear that he got bitten and somehow survived. In the beginning everyone was convinced that this was another attack on the royal family. It only became clear during the first full moon that it hadn't been just an attack. A twelve year old can do a lot, but they can't hide a lycantropy transformation in the middle of a royal castle.

And so Vox became a lycantrope. To the public the attack was known as just that, an attack on the royal family, to the royal family it became clear that Vox had become an even bigger problem than he already was. And then came the assassination attempt on Orion and the betrayal of Helena. It was at this point that Vox had lost trust in almost everyone around him, though he hid that very well.

After that whole family debacle, Vox has mostly been trying to accept that he is now a being that is actively hated and hunted. In the time period between his parents death and now, Vox often went out and found gangs or other criminal groups to join. He would slip into houses, steal anything he could get his hands on and slip away before anyone would notice he was in the room in the first place. Vox almost became a magpie. Anything that was shiny, he needed to get his hands on. His room is cluttered with prizes from his heists, though he often downplays it as gifts or having bought them himself when someone starts to question why he has so many glittering necklaces and rings in his room.
