Skills, Talents and Abilities

Magic: Without the Amnesia, Alastair is an incredibly powerful and gifted mage, capable of decimating large groups with minimal effort.
Knowledge: Without the Amnesia, Alastair is incredibly knowledgeable about a great many things, though his focus seems to be on forbidden magic.
Soul-Manipulation: Without the Amnesia, Alastair is capable of manipulating souls with magic.

Habits and Quirks

● He's always wearing an easy smile or smirk, unless he's discussing his Amnesia.
● He often stares into the distance or cocks his head, then shakes it off and focuses back on the moment.

Inventory / Items of Note

Mysterious Old Ring

One of the few possessions Alastair owns is an old, golden ring. He doesn't always wear it, compelled to keep it in his pocket at times, but nor is it something he hides or covets more than anything else; it's simply a piece of his past lost to his memory, right?

Backstory

Alastair is a man shrouded in mystery thanks to his amnesia. He has no memory beyond a few months ago; all he knows is his name and the idea that something happened to him to cause this, and that it has something to do with the strange, inky-oily feel of his aether. He has no idea if he has family, where he's from, only that he must have or come from money based on the clothes he owns and that he needs to find out the magical reason for why his memories began to vanish.

Content warning: The plot points detailed past this point are lore-bending to the extreme, and speak of an incredibly over-powered and villainous character. As standard, they are only played ICly with mutual consent, but they're freely accessed and read if you wish.

Deep-Lore: Backstory

The truth is that Alastair is a man literally haunted, and that this amnesia is something done to him on purpose to hide his true identity even from himself. He is often compelled to do things by a voice within his mind, another soul puppeting him, only to then wipe his memory of it.The truth is that Alastair is not a good man. He is an ancient evil, a magus from the time of Amdapor, a man once known as the Reaver of Souls. A man whom, during the height of the War of the Magi, was pushing the limits of what magic manipulating the soul could accomplish. His methods barbaric and vile, to the point that even his peers and fellow countrymen, during a time of war, deemed it so dangerous and evil that they stripped his very name from the history books and exiled him.He watched the calamity consume the world and drown the naysayers of his home country with an amused bitterness, as proving his power and knowledge to them was now beyond him. It did, however, give him the time and freedom to continue pursuing his research in the magicks of the soul. Extending his life by subsuming the souls of others, devouring their essence and taking over their bodies, in time Alastair mastered the workings of the soul. Watching history unfold held no interest for him as he pushed the boundaries further and further, becoming more and more twisted with every soul he forced to carry him onwards.Eventually his research lead him to Ishgard where he soon began a cult. The connection to the souls of dragons, a race mightier than any other on the planet, he began new experiments. Power had become a craving, and soon he began to father children upon which to experiment, creating weapons and tools with which he decided he would attempt to subjugate the world. The last thing he attempted was the melding or a draconic and mortal soul, and the result was a fire that consumed his form; power beyond his scope, but not an outcome he was unprepared for. A spare body became his vessel, though it took time to acclimate without the complex rituals he usually undertook. 18 years later, he had made the decision to be patient and subtle.

Sarto'rien Faltomyri

The man's son, the final project that ended his life. Alastair has plans involving his children, though his amnesiac self is unaware of their connection.

Wesley Turner

Alastair seems to have a strange pull towards Wesley, neither knowing that it's part of his plan. The boy is prey, to be used for Alastair's own ends.

Dominic Stone

The man's son, one of the failed projects that escaped destruction. Alastair has plans involving his children, though his amnesiac self is unaware of their connection.

Eliveryn Kydin

The man's daughter, whom he knew very little of due to her birth after his destruction. In his amnesiac state, he was guided to influence her and pit her against Dominic, her brother.

Amnesia: Alastair recalls almost nothing about his life. Do you find that interesting? Do you believe you can help?
Strange Aether: Anyone whom can sense or see aether would be able to know his is strange. Nebulous and powerful, yet subdued and shrouded in what can only be thought of as an 'inky residue'. Do you research aether? Are you a mage? Can you help, or are you curious?

Villain: Alastair is designed to be the villain in a long-term arc that will culminate with a DM'd combat event. If that's interesting to you, feel free to poke!
Villain - Recruit: Every villain needs pawns. Do you wanna be a piece on the board for him?
Villain - Antagonist: Villains antagonise. Are you a threat to him? Are you someone he'd be interested in toying with? Or are you maybe someone he needs to break to get his way with?

Out of Character

OOCly you can call me Sarto.I’m from the UK, so I usually keep EU times, but I also work shifts, including nights, so sometimes my timezone is a bit fucky. Because of this, I tend to prefer to RP over Discord, though I’m more than happy to find common times to meet up in-game.I’m over 21 and I’ll only write with people whom are likewise over 21.For RP I have four main rules. No IC/OOC bleed. Communication is King. No God-modding or controlling of one another’s character. Consent is also King (He and Communication are married and rule side by side happily)
I suffer from ADHD, Depression and Anxiety, which makes me feel like reaching out to people is pestering, and I can also be rather forgetful. On the other hand, I adore people reaching out to me and reminding me of things, so please know I’m always open and love to be approached.
*I will poke people from time to time, to make sure you are okay and/or still interested in writing together. If you’re not, please feel free to say.
I adhere to an incredibly strict policy of there being no IC and OOC bleed. I’ve been RPing for a long time, and I consider it one of the cardinal rules (read above). With that in mind, I also love making friends with the people I write with, and am always happy to listen and provide whatever help I can to my friends.I’m incredibly patient, and will happily pause scenes and wait weeks or months if needed; I know first-hand that life happens and can fucking suck sometimes; RP is for fun, so please never stress about it.I’m open to doing content together, but timezones suck (read above).If you’ve any issues with anything I write; the scene we’re in, a phrase I’ve used, be it taken offense or simply not understanding, absolutely anything at all, please tell me. I firmly believe RP is only fun and worthwhile if both all parties involved are having fun.My Discord is “Sarto.” Including the fullstop; feel free to add me.If there’s anything I’ve forgotten or something you wanna know, please do hit me up.
