♠ ⸻ the devil's in the details
Corrupted Pictomancer Tassilo Riis the Angel Maker of Dalmasca, an antagonistic villain written and loved by Crypt.
⸻ Rules
Tassilo / 42 / He/Him / EST/EDT
For a warning, Tassilo is an antagonist who utilizes dark themes in roleplaying relating to murder, grim aesthetics, blood, childhood abuse (in backstory), unethical experimentation (in backstory), obsessive tendencies, and graphic depictions of violence.
⸻ TW Details
Tassilo is a product of being raised under Garlean Rule in Dalmasca and for that has suffered a great deal of CPTSD which has led to a development of psychotic tendencies. For this there will be details of experimentation done to him by studies done by Garleans. Tassilo has obsessive tendencies and latches on to both people and items that hold his interest. These obsessive tendencies will be discussed before hand to be sure that both writers are comfortable with displays of stalking and deeply concerning behaviors. He is also considered a serial killer that portrays acts of "Aesthetic Killing" similar to that of Stefano Valentino from the Evil Within Series (staging scenes of murder to look pleasing and/or tell a story). NO CHARACTER WILL BE HARMED WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL FROM BOTH WRITERS.
⸻ Antagonist
Tassilo is an antagonist and is explicitly stated that he is not a good person. He has no intention of changing for the better, and any attempts to get him to go on the highroad/change to be a better person that repents for his sins will be shaken off. He is a villain who does not currently want a redemption arc. That being said, he will not display villainous/dark urge tendencies all of the time. He is considered a Charismatic Manipulator and can play the part of a normal man that simply adores artistic endeavors. If darker themes are unwelcome please inform me as the writer so that we can come to a theme for our writing that will be comfortable for us both.
⸻ Victims
Unless agreed upon by both writers, any victim that Tassilo has is an NPC or a part of backstory. This is to assure that no unsavory actions are being taken by either writers. If a character wants to be a victim, but not killed, please reach out to me and explain the depths of what you would like. Tassilo is happy to be the villain in someone's story, but please understand that I, the writer, do not condone the actions of Tassilo and simply want to write a compelling villain. Every action Tassilo commits is fictional and displayed often in fantastical ways that do not at all reflect on the writers personal interests.

⸻ Appearance
height 216 cm (7'1")weight 99 kg (220 lbs.)complexion Slightly tanned individual with olive skin. When in prolonged sun his skin can darken significantly.hair Ashy blond that never seems to be the same color depending on lighting with grey highlights and undertones. In some lights his hair looks very white, and in others you can clearly see the blond color of his hair. His hair is very fluffy and tends to curl slightly around his face and down over his neck. Tassilo maintains his hair almost obsessively to make sure it appears impeccably manicured.eyes An iridescent gold that occasionally reflects the light due to taprtum lucidum behind his iris. Frequently faintly lined with black liner or shadow to emphasize the color of his eyes.
body Thin, but healthy body weight with some muscle toning to assist in moving his bigger "projects." Despite this he is still a caster and does not claim to have a mass of physical strength. Tassilo is considered abnormally tall for viera males, and accents this feature by wearing slightly heeled boots.outfit Tends to wear predominantly white, black, red, and gold. Usually fully covered from the neck down in what would be considered "posh" attire as a way of showing off his personal wealth.features Tassilo has curved canine teeth that make his incisors seem dully. Despite this they are very sharp and make it difficult to pull away from him if he elects to bite. Manicured nails into points that he maintains compulsively. Tassilo has a large scar that travels down his sternum and radiates out in a circle around his pectoral muscles and extends over both his shoulders and beneath his rib cage. He has a dark grey-black scar that is circular at the base of his neck and shows a branching of veins around it.
⸻ Personality
align. Neutral Evil
mbti ISTP-A
temp. Idealist
Tassilo is a charismatic manipulator with a strong sense of personal morals and justice. His facade is one carefully cultivated to be appealing to others to draw people into himself. He considers himself flexible in adjusting to the situations he finds himself in to better conceal his true intentions. Beneath the charming mask he is frequently unapologetic in his actions and shows severe signs of obsession. Rarely does he let someone see behind his mask unless he has marked them as a victim, and only shows these true nature features just before enacting upon his plans.Tassilo is considered a high functioning psychopath that offers little emotional understanding, but has bouts of extreme emotion usually relating to his obsessions. He develops attachments to "Favorite People" and will prioritize them until he inevitably gets bored. Any time he takes an obsession he uses them as his muse and selects targets that are similar to his obsession, but never targeting his obsession themself. Despite this he has a tendency to get bored of things and people that used to interest him and will move away from them, as well as the area, to seek out the newest object of his fancy.Tassilo is very gifted in pictomancy, but to him that is only natural. He is considered a savant that has worked tirelessly to pursue perfection in both art as well as music. Tassilo is gifted specifically with playing violin and often flits back and forth between working on his more traditional art works and playing his violin for inspiration. He is insatiably thirsty for knowledge when it comes to the arts, and when presented with the challenge to learn a new instrument or art form he will engage with all of his being until he can perform it to a level that meets his standards.
⸻ Abilities
Pictomancy
The Carefully Cultivated Art of Manifesting Creativity into reality.Creation Magic
Pictomancy is usually meant for the benevolent, and perhaps in his past he would have qualified as one such individual. Now, however, he's engaged in the darker aspects of pictomancy and testing the limitations of creation magics. Tassilo has deeply corrupted the usage of his paints to create shades that attack at his will, often taking the form of demented creatures similar to large beasts or voidsent. The majority of Tassilo's strength comes from this ability to create such monstrosities that he can use as assistants in his "art." When under a guise he will make his magic seem more innocent while showing a deep interest in using his red, black, and white paints.Micro Domains
As shown in the lvl 90 pictomancer quest it is possible to create entire domains within the substance of a painting if strong emotion is placed into the painting. Tassilo is attempting to bastardize his own version of this to create micro dimensions he can use temporarily to either lure people into or hide out in if necessary. He has not mastered this ability due to the inability to put the emotion needed behind this, and only has managed to summon a small room with barely enough space to stretch his arms out both ways in. This domain creation comes with the risk of being trapped inside of it, and such a risk has led him to be cautious in continuing the practice of this ability.Manipulation
Tassilo is very talented in saying exactly what an individual wants to hear. Utilizing his charm he weaves a web of lies that wraps around another person to assure that he becomes an object of someone else's interest. Unabashed at lying he will spin whatever tale he needs to in able to latch on to act as the bait he needs to judge who will or will not be a victim of his actions.
