Character: Thielo Nybras
Fandom: ALPHASIGNUM DEMON ACADEMY!!
just kidding it's just an original story
Appearance:
Thielo is about 5'7". He's pale, visibly very fit with an obvious non-percentage of bodyfat, and he's slim and wiry. He has pale silver hair, straight bangs, a bit of a faceframe, and a messy layered back. He has two small notched sandy colored horns that lack any kind of polished luster. His teeth are all pointed and heinous, save for his incisors and cuspids. His eyes are a bright lime, and they're narrow and upturned. He's usually wearing some sort of impish expression. He also usually has scuffs and bruises all over the place.
As a fulltime student, he's normally wearing his school's uniform, which consists of a gray collared button-up, a brown vest, a brown pair of button-fly slacks, black, brown or white dress shoes, an optional blazer, and a tie with diagonal black and teal stripes--Thielo chooses to rebel gently against his dress-code and opts for a bow-tie of the same material.
Personality:
Thielo is a lot of bad things, the most prominent of those things being his sadism. Thielo used to be shy and meek in his young adolescence, but, for the last three years he's been excessively aggressive. This manifests as his status as a juvenile gang leader. One of his favorite games to play is junior loan shark. He'll lend out sums of money, especially to people who can't actually pay him back to give him an excuse to attack them. He enjoys finding reasons to beat people-- sometimes in groups. He makes a habit of recording the humiliation of his subjects (mostly if they're someone who's tried to contradict him, or if they're the head of an opposing school gang, etc) and sharing them publicly. In making his "rounds", Thielo's often overjoyed and wrought with thrill, mostly because it's how he stands up to his own emotional problems. He's considered a weirdo and generally isn't very well liked, but people don't quite hate him, either-- a lot of people are just tense and anxious in his proximity because he's unpredictable.
Thielo enjoys and hates being isolated by the school's fear--he's a little lonely and extremely social, but he also hates people for all the transgressions he's had to deal with through his life. Because of this, he's very demanding of his gang's free-time in and after school. He's not actually close with any of his men, because that's not professional OR manly, but they do a lot of bonding stuff like tying people up and giving them burns and breaking teeth.
Thielo also has many bad habits. He parties with his gang members and with other gang members that are in good standing with his own--he drinks a lot and sometimes dabbles in drugs, but it's mostly for show more than out of genuine personal interest. A ton of Thielo's personality is only bravado. He also sleeps around with girls all the time, and is notorious for fooling women into thinking they can "change him", then gets a hoot out of dumping them and breaking their hearts
In spite of this, he's an excellent student, compartmentalizing his "after school activities" away from his school work. He studies when he is home to give him an excuse to keep his distance from everyone. His subjects are finance and business in the academy, the general expectation being that he will follow the family business of being a Hell Banker.
While he does legitimately enjoy the sex, it's only because he's an incredibly high energy, horny teenaged boy and he doesn't know that it COULD be better. This is because Thielo is in denial about being a big gay, and this is because he was traumatized by abuse from his step brother. The trauma makes Thielo push all of his homosexual inclinations as far back as he can manage, and he does a very good job of lying to himself--he doesn't even realize his own feelings, necessarily, but he does often upset himself with gay sex dreams. Oops... Still, he writes them off and tends to sleep with ladies when he's feeling the gay creep up too much. Which ironically leads to LOTS OF SEX WITH LADIES. He's basically a slut, and he's pretty shameless in his solicitations with women--he has the reputation of a womanizer, but deep in his dokidokis, they aren't even what he's really after.
At home, Thielo is distant and despondent. He's not close with his step brother or step father (who is basically never home), and his sister is often preoccupied. He resents his mother for petty reasons (she hasn't told him much about his birth father, which he's sorely bitter about) and so avoids her as well. Thielo's gang is a pretty obvious escapism mechanism, and it's one that works well. Perpetuating violence and hate towards other people helps him with the fact that he feels unaccepted by his father. The violence is also because of the anger he has that he hasn't fully confronted in dealing with his brother. So deep beneath the surface, Thielo's miserable, and has very little regard for his own well being because of his low self-worth. This is why he has no problem fighting all the time and putting himself at risk, and he's always so dinged up.
Despite all the obfuscation, Thielo doesn't actually feel his sadness (which is most certainly always there) that often because his escapism is quite effective. Outwardly, he's just high energy, quirky, violent and horny, but at his core he's lonely, aimless and hurting. Thielo projects all of his agony outward in violence against other people, but he also gets in fights in such frequency because he doesn't really have any true regard for his well being, and he aches for self destruction. Sometimes this will manifest in other ways (drinking, drugs, mild self harm such as banging his head on a wall quite hard when emotionally frustrated), but it generally comes out as hurting others.
Thielo has very little faith in the people around him, and he says he "can't feel bad" when he beats the spit out of people because they a) already got in trouble with him, and b) probably deserved it otherwise.
In his growth, Thielo's goal has ultimately quashing his own empathy and "killing his heart"; to him, true release is to be as heartless as his own brother. He sincerely (but bitterly) envies sociopaths, but that's because he's a silly teenaged victim of abuse who needs to sit down and get therapy.
History:
Thielo was conceived out of wedlock and born some months after his biological father's death. When Thielo was about a year old, his mother married into the Nybras name--a family famed for its wealth and prolific social holding in Hell. Since Thielo was so young, it was simpler to give him his step father's name. His step father already had a son, six years Thielo's elder, named Sian. Three years into their marriage, Thielo's mother and step father had his half sister, who Thielo is very close with.
Thielo, having been used to only his mother's company in his first year of life, entered hesitantly into his new family. Once he became a toddler, Thielo was a bit less shy, and tried to engage with his step brother and step father and bond with them. It never went well, and they regarded him with aloofness and minimal care while they doted on Thielo's half sister. This bread eventual reclusiveness from Thielo, but from rejection more than from shyness, and Thielo became very withdrawn around 12 years old. So he bloomed into a social butterfly and quickly crawled back into his cocoon, basically.
Despite having little confidence and becoming depressed, Thielo got on quite well with his half sister always, and regards her as something of a social treasure in his home life. They both kept to the same (always prestigious, always wealthy) schools and Thielo has doted on her for as long as he can remember. Lately, she finds this embarrassing, but Thielo insistently tries to keep babying her.
Thielo has always been effeminate, regardless of the stages of personality. When Thielo began to embark on puberty, his brother harassed him frequently for this fact, though Sian didn't particularly care--he just didn't like Thielo or accept him as his real family, finding him pathetic and weak. Sian would bully Thielo for being what he perceived as a homosexual, and would do things like hold him too close from behind, hold his upper thighs, whisper against the shell of his ear, or touch his waist, or squeeze his biceps--creepy shit like that, while imparting contemptuous slurs. Sian was careful not to overstep his bounds and so never touched Thielo in an overtly sexual way, but he did enough to damage Thielo, which was ultimately his goal in the sexual harassment. Sian moved out shortly after.
During this time, Thielo was entering Alphasignum Academy--a very prestigious school. Every Nybras for the many generations has gone to Alphasignum, and they've also always been big time benefactors. Because of this, the Nybras name is revered with bias by Alphasignum's board. Despite this, Thielo was still bullied a little in his first year there--and recently coming out of his damage with his step brother, it was a little overwhelming for Thielo at the time. People picked on him for shallow, childish things as highschool freshmen do, like his hair and his demeanor. Naturally, Thielo came up with a coping mechanism, and that was beating the hell out of his bullies after dealing with the abuse for as little as a week or two.
He quickly blossomed into a little monster and became a bully himself, giving himself a nice, tight reign on people, especially given his family name. He became infamous and amassed a small following, and grew more and more feared as a terror on the school, constantly given free passes for his lineage. By his junior year, Thielo had amassed a gang (which masquerades poorly as an after school extra curricular club), which he still controls firmly with some long-time members. The president of student council is sick of the skewed hierarchy that Thielo's instilled and appoints himself as Thielo's rival, but Thielo doesn't take him too seriously.
He has a recent recruit into his gang named Ba'al, who he's been getting a little close with. However, unbeknownst to Thielo, it's because Ba'al has a crush on him. Thielo kind of just figured they were becoming friends (which to Thielo is strange, since the only real "friends" he has are his own gang and similar connections and all they do is party and fight), but Ba'al sort of has ulterior motives. However, when Ba'al becomes less convinced that Thielo is gay and decides that he's also kind of a horrible person, he becomes more scarce for company and distant in general. Currently, Thielo's trying to play it cool, as if he wasn't invested in their budding friendship, and neither of them are speaking to each other much more than Thielo does to any other guy in his gang. Dumb kids.
Timeline: Start of his senior year.
Abilities:
Thielo's very adept at meely combat, but isn't opposed to improvising using his environment--a chair is fine too, and so is your text-book! But as far as "weapons" go, Thielo's quite good with a crowbar...
As far as supernatural stuff goes, Thielo breathes lime green fire (thanks to his birth father's blood, as a fire spirit). He doesn't have a very good hold on this ability yet--sometimes he'll spit fire without intending to when coughing, or he'll choke, causing smoke to waft out of his nostrils and he'll burn his throat... But more than half the time, he can use this ability deliberately; however, it can only come in short, full and powerful plumes. He can never continually expel flames.
Inventory: His uniform, cell-phone and his bookcase. The contents in his case being: brass knuckles, gauze, a few text-books, a few thin spiral notebooks, a small tin of bandaids, astringent, cottonballs.
Link to an image of the character: here.
Prose Sample:
Thielo pulled the gauze around his knuckles tighter between his teeth with a too wide, too toothy smile, curling his fingers and flexing his knuckles as he appraised his wounds in the mirror.
He had a slightly torn lip and good bruise that was already turning yellow on his cheek--his thin, worn fingers reached outward and brushed their dry ends against the reflection of the discoloration, and he rasped a happy, proud laugh. His knuckles hurt, and his joints ached, particularly in his elbows. His neck felt locked. Turning away from his reflection, seeming satisfied with acquiring minimal damage compared to his then-opponent, Thielo stiffly rolled his shoulder and sat at his desk.
His room was lavish and impeccably clean, but it may as well have been a shitty motel for the care Thielo showed his furniture when he heavily dropped into his chair and kicked his feet up on the finely aged wood of his desk, crossing his ankles. He could do a lot of things, like put on his shirt, do some homework and clean himself up properly, but he didn't want to right now. His mind was heavy and fuzzy, his smile fading into something mute; indescribable, numb like the warm wounds on his body.
"Thielo," came a voice behind his door. Thielo paused, lime eyes fixing themselves on his ornate bedroom door.
"Yeah?" He asked, closing his eyes and sorely getting himself into a more proper position.
"Dinner's ready."
"Have it served to my room, then," Thielo suggested curtly, and he didn't hear a response. Hesitant and somewhat guilty (someday, he'd get over that annoying feeling), Thielo stood to open his door.
His mother stood, concerned, her dark eyes rolled up towards her son who had already grown several inches taller than her.
"Your father won't be home for a few more hours." She seemed to be grasping for straws. Thielo looked away, rubbing idly at the back of his neck.
"I guess..."
"Please."
"Fine," he groaned and rolled his eyes, turning on his heel, making a grand show of what an inconvenience eating dinner with his family was. He stretched and went to his closet for a fresh shirt. "I'll be down in a minute, alright? I have shit to do so after dinner I'm gone."
"...That's fine."
"Obviously."

How--am I doing this right?? Hello?
[Thielo tilts his head one way, scowling, and then tilts it the other. He gives the little mirror a shake, and his scowl deepens.]
Sheez, I feel like a fucking moron right now. It's like I'm literally talking to myself. Just projectile vomiting some kind of idiot monologue. I'm embarrassing myself. What if this thing isn't even working and I'm just yammering at this stupid mirror?
Anyway, whatever--if this is working, some questions: [Thielo lifts a finger with each concern, his questions flat enough in their intonations to sound more like statements.]
Where do I get a car, where is the nearest hotel, why is this happening to me, aaand--am I in a coma or something?
