Steff

Described as "incurably smug" by his best friend Emet-Selch, Hythlodaeus revels in gently teasing his friends and associates. He's easily amused, often seen chuckling. He relishes the chance to make a new acquaintance; open and friendly, he's always amenable to good discussion. He seems quite comfortable with strangers, ready to tease as long as they seem comfortable with it (or not, in Emet-Selch's case). All in all, a good friend to have.

IC Permissions

Friendly interactions will be met with equal friendliness! Sexual intent will likely be reciprocated, but actual romance is debatable since he has a crush that spans several millennia on his best friend ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Violence is allowed but I'd like to discuss beforehand if things are going to get to the point of serious injury. Hythlodaeus is no pushover but he doesn't enjoy fighting!

Current Abilities

★SOUL SIGHT
Hythlodaeus' most powerful ability is his soul sight, which allows him to see the soul colour and brightness/density of others, follow their aetheric trails (aether being the building blocks of life, and the essence of others) and pinpoint people across long distances by the colour of their soul alone. The brighter the soul, the generally "stronger" the person; however this can be interpreted in many ways, including strong willpower, physical or magical strength, etcetera.
Ancients in general also tended to recognise one another by their aetherial signature rather than by sight alone- this meant that despite wearing the same masks and robes in most cases, they could immediately recognise one another anyway. This isn't quite the same as soul sight, however, as one likely needed to be close enough to the other in order to discern who they were, whereas Hythlodaeus' soul sight allows him to find someone over a great distance.

★CREATION MAGICKS
Using aether, Hythlodaeus can weave clothing, tools, and even animals and plants into existence. However, he isn't very good at this in comparison to his Ancient friends- he can create on a small scale, but anything too large and he will have trouble with it. Unfortunately concepts that go wrong can be somewhat dangerous! He also prefers to just make someone else do it if they're capable of it.

★ARCHER/BARD
His main attacks come from his ability to wield the bow efficiently, and indeed he's a good shot with his arrows! He can create arrows on the fly with creation magicks, rain arrows down upon his foes quickly and efficiently, and weaves his offensive magic in with his attacks. And as the name implies, there is a musical twist to some of his magic!

★OFFENSIVE MAGIC
Capable of using fire and ice to dispose of his enemies. His most potent spell, Annihilation, could decimate the area affected by the spell completely- size dependent on how much effort he puts in. He very rarely uses this spell, however.

★HEALING MAGIC
Hythlodaeus has access to potent healing spells and is capable of reviving an unconscious (but not dead!) ally as well as mending severe wounds.

★TELEPORTATION
In a cloud of darkness, Hythlodaeus can teleport himself from one place to another. He can take up to one person with him.
