The first thing one might notice about Aristide is that, in spite of his personality, he isn’t hideous. Standing at 5’11”, his build is that of one who has spent time building it through exercise and conflict. He’s lean, with pale skin, sharp turquoise eyes, and luxurious black hair grown out to his tailbone. Aristide has a penchant for half-smiles or smirks, or pursing his lips in a look of general disdain or disgust.
The second thing one might notice about him is just how gaudy he is.
From the fur coats he leaves hanging casually from his shoulders, to the glimmering rings on his finger, to the amulets, the necklaces, the bracelets, the anklets, the countless amounts of glittering and shiny things he keeps woven in his hair, one can easily tell he has no problem flaunting his wealth. Even his leather boots and pants scream of expense, and his shirts seem carefully chosen so they could be left open enough to show the peak of his chest. 

[b]Personality:[/b]
Bold. Brash. Flamboyant. Aristide is all that his sister isn’t and more. There’s a certain flair to how he speaks and conducts himself, and he seems to demand the attention of whatever room he enters, regardless of who might be company. On top of that, he’s terribly arrogant, with a thirst for violence, and a streak of vanity that runs a mile wide. Cruel. Temperamental. He isn’t the most likeable person as a baseline, though he can muster up some charisma if he puts his mind to it.
Despite his astounding list of negatives, however, he does have soft spots for those he cares about. While he insults and berates his sister on a regular basis- a favor quite often returned- he can often be found checking in on her and fussing over her health. Whether this softness extends to anyone outside of the family is yet to be seen.

[b]Bio:[/b]
The Memoli family is a rather infamous one, being long-lived, primarily Mafia-based, and originating from Italy itself. With their use of illusory and mental magic, they carved out a name for themselves of an organization not to be taken lightly, but still makes for loyal and valuable allies. As one might imagine, this reputation places great expectations upon the members of the family, with the pressure weighing on their backs even through childhood.

Elizabeth and Aristide weren’t the only children that their parents had- in fact, they have quite a few siblings- but they are the youngest. While the heir of the line, their eldest brother Darrien, is expected to take over the head of the family business, the rest of the children are to be the “limbs” of the organization. Each child was put through particularly grueling training to see where their skills and weaknesses lie, and from there, are groomed to best blossom in the role that would best suit them. Library is to be primarily the Broker of the family, and Aristide the brute- or, as Blackwood might put it, the Psycho. 

Neither sibling seems to particularly enjoy talking about their family much, though both seem resigned to their role.

[b]Major:[/b]
Psycho

[b]Classification:[/b]
Minion

[b]Powers:[/b]
[i]Fear Manifestations:[/i] Aristide has the power to sense the vulnerabilities of a person, and exploit them. If someone has a fear of spiders, he can create the illusion of spiders crawling onto them, or burrowing into their flesh. It takes time to construct realistic illusions, however, or ones that one cannot easily break out of. This, however, has a work-around: by enchanting items and embedding them, he can create long-lasting, terribly vivid hallucinations- even creating feelings of paranoia and fear- that end only when the items are removed. The more items he plants, additionally, the worse and more firmly-rooted the hallucination can be. These items could be arrows or knives, though Aristide prefers to use hat pins for no real reason other than aesthetic purposes.

[b]Mundane Skills:[/b]
- Training: Aristide can shoot a gun, wield a knife, escape restraints, and has an unsettlingly high tolerance for pain. Unlike his sister, he also has skill in hand to hand combat, preferring to get up close and personal in a fight rather than fight from afar.
- Styling: Given how prideful he is about his hair, Aristide is an excellent hairstylist. 

[b]Equipment:[/b]
- An assortment of hatpins, enchanted and not.
- So much jewelry. So much.
- A variety of weapons, such as a pair of brass knuckles.

[b]Other:[/b]
- Becomes filled with rage if silenced, or otherwise kept from speaking against his will.
