broken innocence

OOC . Hi! This carrd is dedicated to what would essentially be Faust's alter. As he is a repressed part of his being (by external force, mind you) he is not able to stay present at all times.While he is the original, past protagonist, he is not an "evil alter ego" or a "second personality."Vortigern is someone that has kept every memory of his trauma, who had fallen because of his own hubris. He is rational and calculating.
Amnesiac, present, Faust is someone who was given a second chance, while losing every piece of knowledge of his identity. He works on instinct, survival.They feel like different people, but they're still the same. He was simply reborn into a kinder world. Vortigern is a manifestation of unlocking those memories.If you wish me to explain more about Vortigern and everything involved with his lore of the 13th, in depth, it is extremely important for us to talk way more beyond just rp. I am not big on long-term stuff with people I don't really vibe with, sorry-not-sorry!

ABOUT . The would-be second-born prince in the royal line, and infamous for his existence as a bastard child. Raised by the royal house of Troia under pretense of adoption to benefit the narrative of the regent. Although he was never treated like a true prince, he was raised by the Marquess of Baron with the hopes of attaining a high ranking position in the kingdom's militia.A soured upbringing. He was treated poorly for being the king's bastard, often threatened with orphanage by the higher-ups and bullied by other knight trainees. At home he was trained to be perfect in every way he could, to maintain his composure at all times, to know everything that a proper lord must and more. He turned tired, angry, and cynical.He quickly grew in the ranks as a prodigy fighter, able to withstand much for so little. He sought the respect he was owed and fought like hell to gain it. He was greedy, even if he never let anyone know his desires. He kept that facade like a wall of solid iron between him and others.Before the flood of darkness, he had struck a deal with a robed man. As he reached higher up the ladder, there was only one thing he wanted more than anything: to see the fall of Troia. He made sure that everything would work accordingly, manipulating his fellow men to abuse the power of Memoria for 'their cause,' while seeing how much would the poisoned well of darkness would last. Killing those who would inconvenience him, or who would get corrupted due to memoria, making sure the soil was stained with their lives, so that the darkness grew stronger in the land. He became increasingly violent.Before the robed man managed to get back to him to use him as a puppet, with the hammer of justice in hand he made sure the regent was no longer alive.And so, the world faded to darkness.

APPEARANCE . A tall man with light gray skin, long pitch black hair usually tied up, and sharp amber eyes. He has long fluffy ears, leporine paws (usually covered), and a small cotton tail behind him. He prefers armor and ornate clothes.AETHER . Umbral-aspected.
