Kiroshiven
Shadow Cursed
Username:
Kiroshiven
Partner:
littleberry
Pairing: Hope//Despair
Name: Thaddeus Ferdinand McMillan aka "The Archbishop of Despair"
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Appearance: Standing in at 6'2" tall and weighing 180 pounds, Thaddeus is a slim man, but the wicked glint in his eyes leaves everyone trembling.
Personality: Thaddeus is a conniving twat of an individual. He looks at everyone else as an enemy to be surpassed and crushed beneath the weight of despair and hopelessness. He is immovable in his belief that everyone shall succumb to their weakness and drown in misery, to the point that he's proud of his acceptance of the inevitably bad events. He's considered insane based off his beliefs, but the more someone talks with him the more they believe.
A lone wolf by the nature of his pessimism, Thaddeus has worked to make himself as close to the highest quality of human possible. Athletic and intelligent, he's proven that it doesn't matter where you come from, but how hard you work that matters, though he'll openly say it's just accepting the inevitable that leads to success. He is a nearly compulsive liar, saying whatever it takes to get people to trust him so he can plunge the blade into their back without remorse. He's a cruel human aiming to tear the world apart at its seams. But maybe that's just because he hasn't had someone to show him the light.
Home Town:
Miriam
Brief Bio:
Born into Miriam, Thaddeus already had his work cut out for him. He was starting life off at the bottom of the barrel, but as a child he was full of hope and confidence that he'd be able to escape mediocrity one day. He studied hard and worked hard in everything he did up through school. However, there was one problem. There was always someone better than him. If he got a 98 on an exam someone else got a 99. If his 50 meter run came back at 6.03 seconds someone did it in 6 seconds flat. He was never the star that could garner attention and even though he was talented, he never was recognized.
This overwhelming sense of defeat at every turn took the hope that Thaddeus had clung to and destroyed it. With no other choice, he embraced despair, expecting the worst things to happen and telling everyone else the "Gospel of Despair." Suddenly, Thaddeus started showing up on people's radars. Those people that were "better" than him had succumb to despair and lost all hope of getting out of Miriam. At the end of his high school year, Thaddeus was able to leave Miriam and got to Alliyon to study. He chose not to. In a city like Alliyon he couldn't succeed with through despair.
He became a conman. He would begin rants about how despair would consume them and tear down people's lives unless they paid for some "magic stones" that could protect their fragile sense of hope. He made a killing off of this, enough to move over to Alliyon. Now he had his achievement, but it was all thanks to the empty fact that nothing mattered. He knew someday, there'd be a greater conman than he. He wallowed in the idea that his only chance for freedom was to hoard enough money that when that day came, he'd be set to step away from it all and wallow in an empty shell of despair and misery.

Destined Soulmate: Snow Bellard
Weapon: This part is optional. If you choose to give your character a weapon, it must be noted somewhere in the 'Brief Bio', as it would not make sense for your character to randomly own a dangerous weapon right out of the blue.
Dormant Power(s): You may pick up to three powers that align with your character's respective pairing.
1. Taste my Despair: Almost everything Thaddeus has purposefully tried to do in life has failed. He gives everyone a taste of that by reflecting abilities and projectiles back at the sender so long as he holds up his hand towards the incoming attack.
2. There's Always Someone Better: Any physical impact Thaddeus takes is stored away as energy for him to use in his own physical attacks. (Though he still takes the damage) He shows people the truth, there is ALWAYS someone better than you.
3. All is Lost: Thaddeus's partner is able to figure out where he is based on a "hot and cold" feeling. The further she gets away from Thaddeus the more filled with despair she becomes. This ability only triggers when She's looking for him.
Other:
Thaddeus knows how to play the violin, can cook, and has followers to his "faith" all over Miriam. They call him the "Archbishop of Despair" and buy into his hope stones gimmick.
