World of Teravas Napoleonic Era

Character Profile:

Name: Elvric Dauenfeld Age: 34 Species: Red Deer (Anthropomorphic) Allegiance: Civillian of the Diremarch of Fenngard Occupation: Glassmaker and Art Enthusiast Residence: Glassrow District, Ironholt (Capital of the Diremarch)

Appearance:

Elvric is tall and slender, with russet-colored fur that fades to white at the throat. His antlers are modestly pruned and polished—a cultural sign of both refinement and pacifism. He dresses in a smart civilian coat of deep navy wool, brass buttons polished to a sheen, and a finely embroidered cravat tucked neatly into his high-collared shirt. His boots are well-maintained but show signs of city wear. A pair of silver-rimmed spectacles sits upon his snout, frequently adjusted when scrutinizing brushstrokes or text.

Personality:

Polite, contemplative, and inquisitive, Elvric is a lover of beauty in all forms. Though naturally reserved, he speaks passionately when art, philosophy, or the plight of the common citizen is mentioned. He does not speak openly against the Diremarch regime, but subtle turns of phrase and lingering silences suggest quiet skepticism—especially regarding the use of the Chainbound.

He believes art can be revolutionary—not through overt rebellion, but through evoking empathy. His favorite artists are those whose work leaves viewers uncomfortable in their certainty.

Quirks:

Sketchbook Compulsion:

Elvric carries a worn leather-bound sketchbook at all times. He compulsively sketches the hands of people he meets, claiming "you can tell a soul’s truth by the tension in their knuckles." He rarely shows the full book to anyone.

Murmured Titles:

When viewing art, Elvric often whispers alternate titles under his breath—quiet reinterpretations that reflect his own emotional reaction. For instance, he might look at “Victory at Dusk” and softly murmur, “Burial of Light.”

Antique Vocabulary:

He speaks with an antiquated, poetic lilt, using terms like “quillwork” for handwriting, or “brassblooded” for someone brave. It’s subtle, but unusual even among Diremarch intellectuals.

Relic Collector:

Elvric wears a small, silver monocle clipped to his collar, though he doesn’t need it to see. It once belonged to his great-grandfather—an executed Chainbound officer. He often thumbs it absentmindedly during tense conversation.

Sympathetic Mimicry:

When someone around him is visibly distressed—crying, fuming, laughing—Elvric sometimes mirrors a sliver of the emotion, as if trying to "calibrate" to others. It’s unconscious and eerie, but reveals a deep empathy.

Obsessive Posture Etiquette:

He always stands or sits with textbook formality, never leaning against walls or slouching. Even in moments of danger, Elvric keeps a composed, military poise—despite having never served.

Forbidden Library Habit:

Elvric is known to sneak into sealed archives or burn-restricted libraries under the guise of “artistic study,” collecting banned Chainbreaker poetry and folklore, which he recites from memory to those he trusts.

Collector of Last Words:

He keeps a small notebook of “final words” collected from letters, journals, and oral testimonies of condemned Chainbound soldiers—often weaving their phrasing into his art critiques.

Background:

The only son of a glassblowing family, Elvric inherited his father's shop but expanded its purpose: fusing traditional craftsmanship with artistic ambition. His recent works have featured motifs of broken chains and open skies—controversial to some, admired by many.

A regular attendee at the Caervarn Grand Gallery, he has been known to visit exhibits multiple times, quietly sketching or taking notes. His reputation as a cultured citizen gives him quiet access to circles that might otherwise avoid a mere artisan.
