[i]Poor poor little mortal. Struggling so valiantly under the weight of your sanity. Hush now, its okay. Let me take that for you.[/i][/center]
Beneath the towering robes is a twisted monstrosity, a crazed and warped version of a human. Hairless and sickly grey, flesh warps around a multitude of groaning, whispering, screaming, singing mouths, each filled with sharp teeth and twitching tentacles. Mouths cover a large portion of the frail skin, replacing eyes and nose as well. When Volaris isn’t speaking, the mouths each make different noises unless the specter makes an active effort to silence them. When Volaris speaks, he speaks from every mouth simultaneously. [/hider]

[u]Background:[/u]
[Indent]
[hider=IRL]Gaven grew up in a strict household. Everything was scheduled and organized, with very little room for spontaneity and chance. Up by 7, chores done by 10, studying from 11 to 7 with breaks for lunch and dinner, followed by a brief outing with his parent’s work associates until 930, home for bed, and the cycle would start again. His entire life revolved around this structure, mostly to groom him to follow in his parent’s footsteps. They envisioned their child maintaining their legacy within the company and they refused to allow anything to interfere. Any relationships with others were made for him by his parents so he’d have “a head start with the right people.” 

His only periodic escape was reading. Falling into page after page of fiction, he delighted being transported to far away lands where the sun lit up the sky without haze, where air was fresh and people breathed it without masks, where dreams become reality more often than not. Even as he grew older, he stuck with reading as he found it one of the few things his parents didn’t understand enough to ban.

He went through college at 18, graduated at 22,  entered the workforce as an office elite while pursuing his masters, and was promoted to management as soon as he earned his diploma. As he grew into the position his parents planned for him, he found himself identifying with the villains and monsters in his stories as he came to realize that exactly what his position was meant to be. It was a final crack in the wall that defended his optimism and as the last of it disappeared, he gave up reading all together. He didn’t like seeing himself as the villian. 

From that point on, Gaven became obsessed with work. His routine changed slightly to include more overtime and less personal time. He still made his proper appearances in social circles and dutifully made plans with his family but that was it. Until a client mentioned a game: Yggdrasil. A tiny spark of interest in his fantasy world remained and he invested. His old love for the fantastic ignited and he became the complete opposite of his life, madness incarnate. He quickly altered his routine, dropping family time and some social activities for game time.[/hider]

[hider=In Game] Volaris was born to poor parents deeply devoted to their religious code. He grew up fully involved in his faith, attending church and sermons perfectly. His parents begged their local priest, an aging man in need of help, to take him on and he agreed. Volaris devoted himself fully to his studies and responsibilities, displaying an early affinity for holy magic. Higher ups noticed and he was drafted into a special arm of the Church, the demonologists. These spell casters focused on controlling and banishing demons in the name of their God. It was during a raid on a Warlock that Volaris was killed. He went willingly, not falling without taking the Warlock with him.

But in a twist of fate, the Warlock’s Patron snatched Volaris’ soul along with it's minion’s. In retribution for his success, the mad entity shattered Volaris’ sanity and warped his soul, shifting his already intense devotion from his God to It. The Madness sent Volaris' back in the form of a hideous specter, lacking all facial features but mouths. Mouths with gnashing teeth pepper his face, his arms, his neck, his chest with small tentacles flickering in and out. Volaris, now a devotee of the Madness, immediately spread the greatness of his Master, using his demonologist training to warp the minds of mortals, angels, and demons alike with wicked glee.

His crowning achievement, what earned him his title, was a brutal PvP raid. He enlisted alongside a PvP guild as a specialist, his talents already known at the time. By the end of it, only he stood after he consumed the sanity of every player, friend and foe, and watched gleefully as they slaughtered their allies. [/hider][/indent] 
 
[u]Personality:[/u] 
[Indent]
[hider=IRL]Gaven is perfectly composed, organized, and stoic, a result of years of forced routine. He keeps a neat and color coded calendar, his car is spotless, his apartment is clutter free, and he expects perfection from those around him. He is demanding in his expectations but doesn’t believe those who fail to reach them are lower than him. Instead, he sees them as needing more help and goes out of his way to make sure they can reach their goals even if he comes off as imposing and frustratingly demanding. When things go wrong, he has no problem stepping in and micromanaging to fix the project without being asked and tends to come off as arrogant and self absorbed even though he is genuinely trying to help.[/hider]

[hider=IG]Volaris is calm and composed in game as well but is relaxed about his purpose. He doesn’t push hard unless he knows it's the way to go and finds that unless it is imperative, others can handle themselves. He becomes obsessed with projects however, planning PvP strategies and gathering more thralls generally at the top of that list though he likes to insert himself into any sort of work, a habit carried over from IRL. He tends to bring a serious intensity into combat however and often crackles and laughs as he fights.[/hider][/indent]

As such, they can pass through solid non-magical, non-warded objects slowly and ignore all non-magical damage. Magical weapons still affect them.

[b]Cruel Jester’s Cutter (Ultimate):[/b] A plain obsidian blade dagger with the face of a laughing jester on its hilt, this summer raffle item is feared in Yggdrasil’s PvP scene. When drawn, the dagger automatically counters any healing spell of fourth tier and lower within 60ft. The dagger does so even if the magic is out of its wielder’s line of sight. The dagger doesn’t inform its wielder of the action. When successfully countering a spell, the dagger cackles wildly and immediately dispels any stealth effects on its wielder. The dagger stops functioning if it is not in the same “plane” as the spells intended to counter, such as when under the effects of Ethereal Jaunt and Fade.

In the illusion, the hat take son the form of the equipped character’s preferred choice of head wear and prevents any other head piece from being equipped.[/indent]    


[u]Relation to other Guild Mates:[/u] 
When not RPing the embodiment of madness, Volaris spends time with all of his guildmates and offers whatever assistance he can provide willingly. He complains a lot about his job if someone gets him on the subject, hating his part in the dark corrupt machine, but always lends a willing ear to anyone who has their own woes to get off their chest. He is relatively easy going but his managerial experience tends to shine through when the guild takes on new projects and is the first to offer direction and delegate, though he tries his hardest to make it sound like suggestions rather than orders.  


[u]Other:[/u]
[b]Maddening Aura(Title Ability):[/b] Nonsensical whispers and furious screams, raucous laughter and melodic sobbing echoing in the air, engulfing the area in a cacophony of phantom voices speaking of horrors beyond imagination. Those caught in the area have their magical resistance reduced the longer they stay in the area and have a chance to suffer insanity.
