Aelric Nightshade

Race: Dark Fae
Appearance: Tall, dark, and unmistakably magnetic, this Fae exudes an eerie allure that draws people in even when they can’t explain why. His hair is a rich, short inky black that falls in waves. His eyes, though—iridescent purple and glowing faintly in certain lights—are the one mark he cannot hide completely, a subtle sign of his true nature.
Background:
Once a powerful noble among the Dark Fae courts, he was cast out centuries ago for defying the ancient codes of his realm for dabbling in forbidden magic. His banishment was eternal, and he was cursed to wander the human world, untouched by time, never aging, never dying.
Since then, he has seamlessly moved through human societies, adapting to each era. From medieval kingdoms to the modern cityscape, he reinvents himself with the skill of a seasoned liar.
Personality:
World-weary but cunning, he bears the burden of centuries with a quiet dignity. He is deeply intelligent, observant, and can be both charming and ruthless depending on the situation. A sense of melancholic loneliness clings to him, and despite his cold demeanor, he still yearns for connection—even if he denies it.
Abilities:
Even in exile, he retains fragments of his Fae power: glamour, the ability to influence emotions, limited shadow magic, and an affinity for illusion. His presence distorts the air subtly, making people more suggestible, prone to dreams, or drawn into old memories.
