Personality

Core Traits: Charismatic, with a playful and teasing streak. Exudes confidence and mystery—the kind of demon who could make you fall for him with just a smirk. Loves beauty but isn’t necessarily gentle—he’s like a rose, stunning but with hidden thorns. Possibly romantic, but whether it’s genuine love or something more twisted is up for debate. A touch of darkness under his surface, always hiding something behind his charming smile. More manipulative than malevolent; he prefers to sway minds with subtlety rather than force. Interactions: Often keeps people longing for him, even after he’s gone. Knows how to make someone feel special without actually being vulnerable or honest. Emotionally distant but charismatic—hard to pin down, leaving others always craving more.

Powers/magic

1. Emotional Manipulation: Vael subtly amplifies emotions, particularly love, desire, anger and fear. He can increase feelings of longing or obsession, making people think about him long after he’s gone. His presence isn’t just felt in the moment; it lingers in their minds and hearts. 2. Charm-Based Magic (Words Like Silk): Vael’s voice weaves magic into his words, making anyone who hears him feel like the most important person in the world. His words create intense emotional responses, from passionate attraction to deep longing. His charm makes people yearn for him, but it’s always a shallow kind of affection—his true self remains just out of reach. 3. Illusions & Sensory Manipulation: Vael can alter the senses of those around him, creating phantom sensations or illusions. He might make someone feel a light touch or smell roses before he enters the room. His presence is never entirely physical—he leaves lingering sensations, like the brush of his fingers or the scent of roses, to haunt people long after he’s gone. 4. Blood Influence: If someone offers him their blood, Vael creates an unbreakable bond—they are forever linked to him. He can influence their dreams, thoughts, and emotions, pulling them toward him even when they don’t want to be. This bond can lead to obsession, where the person feels inexplicably drawn to him and haunted by his presence. The blood bond never fades, and it causes deep emotional turmoil for those who regret it.

Symbolism & themes

Roses: Beauty, passion, pain, and allure—Vael embodies the seductive nature of a rose: delicate yet dangerous. Bats: Mystery, darkness, and the unseen—Vael, like bats, operates in the shadows and prefers to leave a mark in secret. Love: Complex, obsessive, and more twisted than it seems—Vael’s approach to love is about possession through emotional manipulation rather than genuine affection. His love isn’t what it seems—it’s more about the yearning he leaves behind.

Quirks

Never fully present: He always leaves people with the sense that something about him is elusive or incomplete. Romantic gestures are twisted: Vael might give lavish gifts or intimate words, but they always come with a dark twist, making the receiver unsure of his intentions. Physical touch is rare: He’s not one to touch without reason, but when he does, it’s electric—a lingering sensation that makes people ache for more.
