♛ Bringer of Plagues


[ And it's about time I posted a sheet for this silly man ]
[ This character can work in many different storylines: both ancient and modern. I've written him as a god, doctor, but in his original version he is the destructive son of a mad scientist. ]
[ The version written in this sheet is mostly for his 19th century doctor AU for my role play with @OhDarling. ]

“ Oh! Well forgive me for writing you the occasional death threat - you must know that it had only been an attempt at flirting. ”

Poe is able to summon and command swarms of locusts at will. Though, he rarely does this, and is only seen with about two or three hanging around his shoulders or neck. It is unknown whether Poe was born with this ability, or whether it was learned, though judging by his scientific background, many assume he created it himself.

The locusts he controls differ from ordinary ones — like Poe, they are enhanced, and they have incredibly strong jaws. They are a ghostly white colour; both their wings and bodies appear much sharper. And instead of feeding on crops, they feed solely on blood, perhaps flesh if they are particularly famished.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎— personality.
This man is verging on insanity but in a very chill and nonchalant way.

Calm, composed (mostly), and well-kept, Poe is highly introverted and dislikes being in the company of those he considers too noisy or energetic. Poe is a true neutral; his ideas of right and wrong, good and bad are warped and twisted - his moral code, or lack thereof, is a product of his personal experiences and traumas, making him a cold-blooded and selfish killer. Like his master, he's a terrible misanthrope: he seems to carry a resentment towards humanity as a whole, viewing each and every individual as a no-good parasite beneath himself. This all becomes a little intimidating when you realise he takes interest in matters regarding extinction and rebirth - as well as how he enjoys experimenting and enhancing his locusts, a way of further exuding his power.

Poe is a dangerous character — perhaps even more so than Cinna himself — and it's not only because of his bloodlust and his hoard of flesh-eating bugs. Much rather, it's because of how he covers his evil behind the façade of a sweet, well-meaning gentleman. He's strangely gentle despite his villainy, soft despite his sadism, and has a certain charm to his personality that makes him easy to trust. He has the potential to be truly nefarious if you give him too much control; it might just lead to your death.

Perseus tends not to fall in love; his brain is almost wired to view everyone as an experiment or food for his master. In the rare cases that he does fall in love, however, he loves obsessively.

Strengths: Passionate, Organized, Charismatic, Polite (unless he's, y'know, killing you. Even so, he'll make sure you receive a fine and thorough taste of death before you go.)
Flaws: Overzealous, Greedy, Surprisingly lacking in intellect if you manage to break his façade. He claims to have no time for drama but he's so very dramatic himself.
Fears: Neglect, actually. Beneath it all, he has the heart of a puppy.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎— appearance.
Like his locusts, Poe's appearance is serene and ghostly; there is an air of eerie beauty about him. Standing at 5’11, his build is fairly slender, his skin is pale as snow, and his eyes are a profound grey, though they appear an icy blue beneath the sun. Poe has long, waist-length white hair which is often tied by a wine-red ribbon. His lashes and eyebrows are also white.

His outfits consist of lace blouses with ruffled collars, delicate black ribbons, long trench coats and pristine white gloves. Poe is often seen with high-heeled shoes that will boost his height.
In more modern settings, Poe wears a black, cropped turtle-neck without sleeves. With this he sports a long white lab coat, and his boots tend to be very thick, sturdy and, of course, never without high heels.
Height: 5'11
Body Type: Slender; Svelte.

Master. Lord Cyn’fael Hansen. www.roleplay.me/blog/270798
Poe is Cinna's personal doctor, and loyal servant - he will show up as a side character in roleplays with Cinna. However, when I write him independently, he will no longer be working under him unless you'd like for the roleplay to take place at the Hansen manor.

Acquaintances. The Rosenfeld Family: Moth. www.roleplay.me/blog/256924
Poe is well acquainted with the Rosenfelds - a family known for their successful funeral business. They are the main blood source for vampires in the area, and Poe will visit them frequently to buy blood for Cinna, unless he has specifically ordered a fresh kill.
