IC INFORMATION Character Name: Vil Schoenheit
Species: Human
Canon: Twisted Wonderland
Canon Point: before the SDC
Character Age: 17
CRAU: No
CRAU Explanation: N/A
Character Appearance: Here Powers and Abilities:Generic elemental magic- the usual throw fireballs/ice/water/wind/leaves
"Fairest On of All"- his signature skill, allows him to place a curse or blessing on something that he touches. He usually uses it to create a paralyzing effect on objects (When he says no sweets after bedtime HE MEANS IT), but he can also use it in a more gimicky fashion. for example, makes the contents of one of his beauty products "dissolve anything it comes into contact with- which he uses to melt a door lock.
Blot/overblot: this is less a power but more a toxic after-product of using magic. Mages usually have a magestone (fixed into a wand or tome) that will absorb this, but without a magestone, or while using magic under great mental duress, or just overusing their magic in general, they will overblot. Overblot is essentially a berzerker state, their appearance will become corrupt, and they'll summon an inky entity known as a Phantom. The phantom will feed off their negative emotions and magic until the victim dies, unless the victim is physically separated from their phantom. Vil had not overblotted at his canon point but he does not long after.
Potionology/alchemy: Vil is an expert in potions. What originated in a hobby of making his own make-up, became a valuable skill. From homebrew make up he's since become incredibly adept at poisons (as the head of the Pomefiore dorm he would have had to create the deadliest poison in a contest among peers), and in an outdoor excursion seems well aware of herbs and remedies.

Character Questions: 1. Who is the person your character is most bonded with from their canon? Or who is someone they miss the most? For Vil that would be his father. Despite being incredibly mature and capable of functioning on his own, he's still 17 and his father has always been his biggest support that's just a phonecall or email away. Vil idolizes his father, and admits that his father inspired him to take the path that he has.
2. What are they most afraid of?Vil's biggest fear is becoming ugly. Whether it be through growing old or scarred, anything that could potentially end his career.
3. What is their weakness? Emotionally, mentally and physically? Emotionally Vil is pretty stable most of the time. Though he is painfully honest to the point of being a bit of a bully sometimes. He can take what he dishes out, and he never says anything just to be mean spirited. It's valid points of criticism and faults he's attempting to bring to someone's attention. However being compared to a half price sack of potatoes generally isn't the best way to get people to accept the genuinely well-meaning words of advice and criticism. Other than that Vil is incredibly put together, he pushes himself but also knows to pace himself to prevent burnout, he's not hot tempered, or reckless. He can come across as cold an intimidating, but those that know him or are in his dorm all seem to wind up very fond of him.
Mentally, Vil is sitting on a whole lot of baggage. He's essentially been cast as villains since childhood, and it's gotten in his head. He's been telling himself since he was a child that if he was just a little better, a little more perfect, then he will finally land a hero role. However, in doing so he's actually dooming himself, because the more perfect he is, the less relatable he is to an audience. He has essentially built his whole identity on this goal, and seeing the harm it's been doing is difficult because part of his goal to being perfect requires quite a bit of self care so he comes across as simply being very on top of things.
Physically and magically Vil is very well rounded, but not really a master at anything. He's physically strong, stronger than he looks even, but there are many that are still stronger. In terms of magic, unlike some other students at Night Raven College, he was never tutored on magic growing up so he lacks the raw power of other mages. Even his own "unique magic" isn't very geared towards combat. In RPG terms, he's compared to a "tank" role. He lacks offense, but makes up for it in defense. He's still a very powerful mage in his own right, but that also carries its own dangers as it makes him more susceptible to overblotting.
4. What would make them happiest? There's a bit of a discrepancy as to what he believes will make him happy versus what he actually needs to actually be happy. Vil's current desire is to be the "fairest one of all", and to ultimately land a lead role in a movie as a hero- and in doing so outshine his rival Neige. Ultimately this wouldn't change anything for him, he'd be briefly happy yes, but it wouldn't solve the underlying issue of his self loathing. To be truly happy, he needs to accept that he will not beat Neige, or fulfill the roles Neige does as it's just not who he is. It's a harsh lesson, but one he learns in canon and becomes a happier and stronger person for it.
5. What’s their type for a lover? Vil would be looking for someone that both complements him, but also challenges him to see things from a perspective he might not have otherwise. He's always striving ever onward towards his goal of perfection, and being in a relationship where they both challenge each other to be better would be his ideal. His partner must also be willing to follow along with that mindset- not to the extremes Vil goes, but Vil would respect someone doing small things like learning something new, or doing a little extra to take care of themself.
