Dushevlad

It is 19th century, Southwest of Russian Empire, town Gnezdovische Dushevlad, the grumpy necromancer. He is around 72 years old. Dushevlad is very tall and skinny. His skin is pale, he is not very muscular. His eyes are cold-grey, his hair is black and long, the eyebrows are low and bushy. His lips are thin and his nose is curvy He loves alchemy and necromancy, theology and debates. He hates any music, too self-assured people and technologies. He adores spending his time in forest - the further from people the better. Due to his age he is pretty skilled in many things - from botanics and zoology to beer brewing. His speech tends to be rather bookish Dushevlad is rather old and wise. He is very curious. He takes his relationships very serious as much as everything in life. He likes to study and teach. Vlad has been a necromancer since 17 and he practices still. He serves to a Slavic pagan god Viy. He is only his follower and they are rather keen. Duschevlad's aim in life, however, is to kill Viy so he would never be danger to anyone. Vlad is very a powerful magician, but he is not interested in taking over the world. Besides, he is more interested in helping people. He respects other religions and knows a lot about them. He loves forests and mostly keeps around them or cemeteries. He also knows a lot about flora and fauna of the forest. Even more he knows about the mythical creatures. His house is standing between forest and cemetery, not so far from the nearby village. It is rather small, wooden and yet he has everything he needs there, from the laboratory to the supply room. Dushevlad usually wears baggy simple clothes and lots of amulets. He always has his bag with him. In it and in his endless pockets he keeps literally everything he might ever need. On the neck he wears a wooden amulet of Viy. Dushead's familiar is the raven whose name is Nyan. Raven's character is rather like his owner's – he is independent, serious, wise and loyal. Vlad often has prophetic dreams. His parents are rich and noble, he has two brothers. Elder one, Reaver and younger one, Vincent. Even though he loves his mother and both brothers, he doesn't have much connection to them. He refused his rights for the lands and stays away from his birth places. Dushevlad may be a dark arts necromancer, but his aims are not wicked. Good lover in bed, but occasional intimacy is not what he looks for. His true relationship is serious, loyal and tender.
