[QUOTE="Mosier, post: 6848317, member: 6776381"] Wil has fallen in love. It is a devotion more complete than the most moving of romances. His body, mind, and soul exist for the singular purpose of serving and pleasing the one single beautiful creation among all of the eternal hideous cosmos. She is frightening and compelling as a rising tide, lifting his fragile ark above the chaos and destruction, spinning and tossing him about but never quite capsizing him. She will never be his, of course. And why should she be? The singular, magnificent Magdelina is tragically destined to an eternity of loneliness, as there are none worthy of her. Wil is content, even delighted to simply exist near her but never "with" her. One day, she will seize her place in this world, casting out all who oppose her, bringing her dark and glorious visage to all who may behold her. When that day comes, Magdelina's herald will cry in triumphant relief. [B]Wil Hearth - "Herald"[/B] Tall and lithe, beautiful and graceful, even for an elf. His eyes are friendly and welcoming, hiding a cold and cunning soul beneath. Wil casually and remorseless calculates the precise value of everyone he meets. He usually manages to extract every bit of that value, too, before casting them aside. He leaves a trail of conquered souls behind him, broken and damaged men and women who, through some destructive but uncannily reliable derangement, still love him. He indulges whatever hedonist urge takes him, and he delights in the utter corruption of his targets. He finds particular glee in meeting the earnestly religious. He loves to infect a true believer's religious core, warping them to his whim until the comfort and peace they felt in their belief is obliterated, and they are lost and directionless, utterly dependent on Wil's approval. And then he leaves them in this state, emotional children, to be devoured by the wolves of metahumanity. In a remarkable example of cognitive dissonance, Wil even recognizes and acknowledges his own manipulation by the object of his fanatic devotion, a human woman named Magdelina. He is simultaneously irresistibly drawn to her, and fascinated by the power she has over him. She even seems to enjoy his affections, and occasionally helps Wil to refine his own manipulation skills. It is a fantastically self-destructive relationship, which Wil couldn't break if he tried. [/QUOTE]
