Machiavelli is a tall, lean wolf-dog with soft, wavy, piebald fur, and long, deer like legs that exaggerate his elegant, dancing way of moving. He boasts a runner's build— much better adapted to speed than fighting. He has opal eyes, and his large, highly reflective pupils make them often appear to be glowing.

Personality


Personality

· Loyal ·

. Charming, dancing— a tricksy jester always plotting or planning something. Strategically genuine, strategically closed off. Hides his thoughts behind a smile.


· Vain ·

. With those he holds dear, Machi reveals a softer side. He is affectionate and loyal, his teasing laced with genuine warmth.


· Violent ·

. Beneath the layers of charm and affection lies a scared, self-loathing man, adrift in a world he scarcely understands.





Otherworldly Binds




A sincere "thank you" is interpreted as a debt or favor owed.

Machiavelli will not enter a den or bed-chamber without invitation.

Due to his pale coat, Machiavelli cannot stay out in strong sunlight for long periods of time, and will become burned if he does so. He prefers to travel at night.

Anemic. If Machiavelli has not eaten properly, he will become tired and lethargic, and his paws and nose will be startingly cold. Lizard-like in behavior, he can be very clingy, and likes to cuddle up to keep warm.

Biography

Biography




Machiavelli, known at the time as Hasdrubal, was raised in the Godsmouth cult as their Prophet. To outsiders, it might have looked as though Hasdrubal was the sole leader, however he answered to an older man named Herod, doing as the elder said namely by preforming many rituals and giving aid to those that sought him out— some rituals proved far darker than others.



When Hasdrubal was around 6 months old, his mother disappeared, leading Herod to be his sole figure of authority. He grew to learn that the elder's word was law, and his wish was command—any dissent or rebellion was met with consequence.



Around his first birthday, a boy, only a little older than Hasdrubal, and his mother, traveled to Godsmouth. The boy, Juno, was ill and came seeking answers on how he might heal. Hasdrubal found him intriguing at first interaction. The mountain boy with the sweet brown eyes was incredibly kind and optimistic when he out of all had no reason to be. Curiosity eventually sparked into something more as the months passed.

Tragedy struck with Juno's sudden passing, leading to Hasdrubal's arrest. Hasdrubal reunited shortly with his mother in prison, only to loose her as well. After several months, Herod left Godsmouth for an unknown trip. Hasdrubal convinced the guards he had repented, and convinced them to free him, after which he poisoned their meal, and fled, renaming himself Machiavelli.



Machiavelli later sought refuge in Muat-Riya, posing as a humble Fellahin. Although he seems to enjoy the work, he still carries himself with the air of one in a much higher station. There is a lingering sense that, if not for his dedication to etiquette and the need to stay safe, his ambitions would be far less hidden.

Combat Stats
After this thread, it can be assumed that Machi will always carry poison for use in combat.

Flight over fight and for good reason, what Machiavelli can not deliver in attack power, he makes up for in speed and agility. Unless he is certain he can win, or is forced to fight, Machi will attempt to flee any combat situation.

Legend
Ex

After an unfortunate meeting in the lowlands, Legend brought Machi back to Muat-riya. After a messy breakup, he is deeply hurt, and feels vindicated in his belief that it is better to hold everyone at arm's length.


Eset
Tentative Ally
♡ ♡ ♡
After explaining her motivations behind his imprisonment, Machiavelli has forgiven her for her "foolish" plan, and hopes to prove he is worthy of her mercy.


Senmut
Complicated
♡ ♡ ♡
Interest and attraction turned sour, Machi feels awkward around the prince, and unsure of where he stands.


Herod
Enemy
♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
The man who raised Machi, he feels mixed emotions. Sometimes hating or fearing him, sometimes feeling guilty for doing so.
