Character Name: Sheliak Saarela Canon: Original Faction: Shuten Brief Rundown: Sheliak was a human who died and was transformed into a being made of magic. What is left of his humanity is just an echo used to tether his magic to the real world. He still stubbornly clings to his human past and pretends to be human instead of the terrifying magical being that he truly is. He hides his flaws behind a mask of polite perfection, like he has been taught as a noble.
Initial Ideas: I plan on topleveling with Sheliak
Gambling - Sheliak did not enjoy learning how to cheat but unfortunately for him he was good at it and he's right at home among the high rollers thanks to his noble background. So, much to his dismay, he has been roped into working as a dealer. He's going to silently hate every moment of it and stubbornly hold off on resorting to cheating until he absolutely has to. (I will also add the disclaimer that I'm not very familiar with casino games, or how to cheat at them but I will do my best!)
I forgot to mention that Shelaik will be fighting in the arena at some point to show off his water magic now that he has started to get it back.
Pleasure Palace - Sheliak has a weakness for music so he will be watching all of the performances he can. Just don't ask him to perform. He has no musical talent at all.
Tanabata - Sheliak will have mixed reactions about the star scenery. The stars of the milky way are very important to Sheliak. Much of his world's culture revolved around a hidden sky that only the gods could see. The hidden truth behind these mysterious stars that didn't match his world's sky is that they are from the world his ancestors originally came from (Earth) before they were banished to Althiya. His own name Sheliak comes from this hidden sky, specifically the constellation Lyra if any astronomy inclined characters want to make that connection. Sheliak only learned the truth a year ago and Earth's sky still feels magical to him. He will be very curious about any story connected to the stars. That is, until he realizes they are the stars Vega and Altair in which case his fascination will sour with a rare hint of honesty for him. Altair is a both someone Sheliak despises and a friend who he would do anything for. He's also one of the few people who could easily drag the real Sheliak out from his his careful mask so this is a fun way to get a glimpse of the real Sheliak and learn more about his past. Sheliak doesn't talk about himself much but he will talk about his friends, especially if it's complaining about how insufferable Altair is.
For other Tanabata things, Sheliak might need someone to show him how to enjoy himself. This is his first Tanabata ever so he will probably feel a bit lost. As for wishes, there is a wish I want him to make but he has complicated feelings about magic so he will need a push for it to happen.
"We Know Who You Are" - Sheliak will initially try to chase after the kidnappers but when they escape he will discreetly conduct his own investigation under the guise of a worried bystander. He doesn't trust the Enma to hold all of the information.
