Ievantes
character basics
NICKNAMES: Ievantes.
AGE: His age is very intangible, ranging from adolescence to early middle age, and most often showing characteristics typical of young as well as older individuals. He cannot easily appear to be very young (a child) or very old, but it is possible.
GROUP: Dream Being
SPECIES: An illusionary being. If he has a name for his species he has yet to share it, but he could most readily be classified as a fairy. He typically takes on a human or semi-human shape, but his properties are highly irregular.
OCCUPATION He looks after the little boggles and beasties that had the misfortune of being neither wholly dream or wholly real, ensuring that they stay safely in the dream world, rather than accidently frightening poor little children at bedtime.
GENDER: Uses the male pronoun, appears for the most part masculine, but is probably some sort of semi-sequential, semi-synchronous hermaphrodite. The ‘defining features’ may appear in any combination or not at all, partly at will and partly as a reflex. He’ll definitely change back into a man, though, if you try to get a good look at his naughty bits.
PLAY-BY: If you approve this so far, then I’ll draw a pretty picture, and his play-by can be ‘this guy I made up’.appearance
Ievantes appears most often as a handsome, noble looking man- though curiously, very little stays the same about him. He may seem to be quite small or quite large, though he’s usually about the size of an ordinary man. He may appear quite slim, or quite muscular, but is usually somewhere in between, and sometimes it’s a girl, or something in between, or neither. His hair is usually slate-colored, coming in incredibly abundant, though loose curls. But sometimes it isn’t. His eyes are dark, and his skin is light, but they’re never the quite the same hue. And sometimes, when you see him just out of the corner of his eye, he has wings. Or fins. Or he’s playing a tuba. It won’t be the same when you do your double-take.
It’s difficult to put your finger on any of Ievantes’ features, no matter how hard you try. Indeed, too much of an effort may result in a very bad headache, however, his face rarely changes: it is gorgeous, lifted, with high cheekbones and large, slanted eyes, elegantly arching brows, over a slightly hooked nose, and pouting lips, with a sharp, firm jawline. He says that’s who he is when he’s real, but he probably doesn’t even know himself what that statement is supposed to mean.personality
To one who is not familiar with Ievantes, the man seems quite strange indeed- unnatural in his appearances, with a distantly bizarre and unflappable demeanor. Ievantes is almost constantly absorbed in his task of shepherding his ghoulies, watching calmly over them or playing with them- he rarely takes it upon himself to become involved with anything else. Whether he seems very content or very melancholy about this sort of life varies greatly on the viewer’s interpretation- generally, people see in Ievantes what they want to see, and that suits him just fine.
Those who do make it their business to speak with Ievantes will find him very amiable, if very stoic. He is unreasonably wise, and knows all sorts of neat things for no particular reason, and though he shows some reluctance to explain much of his person (as an illusionary being, he literally isn’t all there) he is always willing to offer insight towards the lives of others, to say the right things and to ‘be there’ for anybody who needs him… and because he is an illusion, entirely susceptible to personal interpretation, he is almost infallibly exactly the sort of person that any given student would need to talk to.
family & history
If Ievantes has any history at all, he isn’t aware of it- he has no human concept of time and event permanence. He knows what is now, what isn’t now, and what isn’t any time… but it really doesn’t matter to him. To him, whatever is simply is.
