Bio

You would have liked to see me drown, just the way I drowned you. But that's not going to happen. I'm not as stupid as you were. I'm not as blind, dear, sweet sister.

There's no such thing as justice.

.history.

Born into a rich Kilian family, the second of twins, Karyl was always the noticed one. His twin sister, Kaelyn, was happy to sit in the shadows, the moon to his sun: she reflected his light. Less talented, less good-looking, easily overlooked, she was nonetheless more of a person then he could ever hope to be: somehow, she had not only her share of a heart, but his as well.

Karyl hated her. He hated everyone around him, regarded them as useless and only worth being controlled,but he hated his sister worst of all. He knew, somehow, deep inside him, that even though she was less then he, that she was content with her lot in life. As for him, no matter how hard he struggled, no matter how much magic he mastered or how good his
swordplay or anything else, he was never content with what he had.

Kaelyn's serenity and contentment bothered him so much, that when the twins were fifteen, he killed her. The two of them were walking by a river, when Kaelyn bent, to examine a flower growing by the riverside...and Karyl pushed her in. The weight of her heavy skirts
pulled her to the bottom quickly, and she was not a very good swimmer: she drowned easily. Karyl only had one moment of anything resembling regret, before pushing it aside and never feeling the emotion again. In fact, when all was said and done, he had enjoyed killing his sister.

He returned home, alone, dripping wet, and told his parents that Kaelyn had fallen into the river and that he had tried to jump in after her, but he couldn't find her. It was the first time that his innate acting talents really became useful, and his parents were easily taken in. At his sister's funeral-her body eventually washed up on shore, and Karyl was the one to find it, coincidentally enough-Karyl played the grieving brother to perfection, even while he laughed on the inside.

Destroying people soon became a game to him. His charming manner and chameleon tendencies helped people to fall into his trap, and also be never suspected of anything wrong. Murder, mind games, torture, rape: he had no conscience, and whatever method was needed was whatever method he used.

His extreme skill with magic and blade made him well-known as being brilliant, which was the truth. He was also known for being kind and caring, and nothing could be further from the truth. When he was thirty, he decided to try to find himself a student, who as well as teaching magic, he could mold and control and bend them to his will. He searched throughout Kilia for the right person: he almost took on a young girl named Jayne, who specialized in wind magic, as his apprentice, but instead took on a quiet, gentle young woman named Tori to be the student.

However, as promising as Tori was in magic, she was not as passive and pliant as she seemed. Two years after he took her on as a student, Tori fled: angered, Karyl vowed to hunt her down and make her suffer before he killed her. It took him three years, but he found her at last, with her fiance Marias in Kanemoria, in an inn in Norey.

He threw Marias into a wall hard enough to nearly give him a concussion, then struck down Tori in front of him. However, he wasn't finished yet: he made sure that Tori was barely alive, dying but conscious enough to see what would happen next. He raped Marias in front of her, wanting her beloved's suffering to be the last thing that she saw. However, unfortunately for Marias, he noticed the same thing that Tori had before her death: the flaw that glimmered at the heart of him, which she had not had the time to repair. And unfortunately for Marias, Karyl became fascinated: fascinated with trying to break and totally control the young shaman.

For the last year, Karyl has been stalking Marias, in a cat-and-mouse game designed to break his will and shatter what is left of his sanity.

.personality.

Karyl, to be perfectly honest, is a sociopath, through and through. He knows what he does is wrong, but really,he couldn't give a damn. An artful actor, he is a master of deception and deceit, capable of twisting the truth to be what he wants it to be. Human life doesn't matter to him: people are objects to him, puppets to be controlled. He has made a game out of destroying people, and can make himself and his views seem quite rational, twisted as they are. However, while he appears to have a lazy, laidback demeanor,he does not take being insulted kindly, and even something like refusing to submit to his will counts as insulting him. People who insult him have a habit of turning up dead.

.appearance.

Extremely tall, to the point of being ridiculously tall (6'6")- dark-haired and very handsome, he has the pale skin and features of a Kilian native. While he is in his mid-thirties, he has aged well, and appears to be only in his very late twenties/early thirties. He has a charming smile and expressive, deep baritone voice: he can make his face and voice show whatever emotion he wishes, and even when casually killing or hurting someone, he can appear pleasant and the most rational of people. A consummate chameleon, he never shows what he is truly feeling, and appears to be whatever you wish to see. Karyl always dresses well, but not flamboyantly or in a tacky way: he is subtle, above all, in action, word, and dress.

.verse.

I'm the fear that keeps you awake
I'm the shadows on the wall
I'm the monsters they become
I'm the nightmare in your skull
I'm a dagger in your back
An extra turn on the rack
I'm the quivering of your heart
A stabbing pain, a sudden start.
