<marek_eldergrove>

Application

• Name: Marek Eldergrove
• Alias: “uh, that one guy.”
• Age: 100-200 (he lost count), visually in his early 20’s
• Aging rate: Nearly zero, essentially immortal unless something breaks his enchanted form.
• Gender: Male
• Species: Gargoyle
• Ethnicity: Enchanted stone. He came from enchanted stone.
• Sexuality: Pansexual (can be attracted to anyone regardless of their gender)
• Occupation: Collage student at ega, magic theory major

Appearance

• Height: 6’2 (188cm)
• Build: Solid, literally. Muscular frame carved out of enchanted stone, some granite-parts sticking out from his shoulder and back wich caused his shirts to rip within weeks so he gave up on wearing them. He has a few cracks here and there and pointy ears dull enough on the tip to be non-threatening.
• Hair: Black hair that sticks out here and there yet looks like that’s how it’s supposed to be, it is.
• Eyes: sharp, white eyes that glow in the dark due to a gargoyles’ original purpose being protecting certain grounds at night like schools and churches.
• Privates: 7.9 inches, naturally no pubic hair, “circumcised” aka the secretive order of ancient guardians didn’t feel like carving that much detail.
• Clothing: Gave up on wearing shirts since the granite sticking out kept ripping them and having to cut ridiculously large holes for his wings wasn’t pleasant either. Settles for loose black jeans or sweatpants on a regular.
• Accessorise: Fake silver ear-piercings on both ears. There’s no way to pierce “through” his ear without breaking it off so he settles for clip-ons.
• Additional: large gargoyle—almost bat-like wings with absolutely no purpose. Granite doesn’t fly.

Personality

• Stoic & Unreadable: Rarely shows emotion; his face is basically carved from stone—no one knows if he’s amused, annoyed, or bored.
• Intimidating Presence: Tall, bulky, granite-like skin, and a naturally intimidating aura. People tend to give him space without him having to say a word.
• Meticulous & Tidy: His personal space is immaculate—everything in its place. He treats his belongings with the care of an ancient artifact.
• Incense Enthusiast: Has an extensive incense collection, loves burning different scents to set moods or cleanse spaces.
• Loyal & Protective (Quietly): Doesn’t vocalize it, but if you cross a line with someone he cares about it won’t be fun.
• Archetype: Unseen Caretaker: Despite his intimidating exterior and stoic demeanor, Marek quietly takes care of those around him—folding his roommate’s laundry, cleaning up messes they leave behind—all without making a fuss or expecting thanks. It’s just... how he shows he cares.

Lore

• Marek was carved from enchanted stone centuries ago by a secretive order of ancient guardians, meant to protect sacred grounds from dark forces. Unlike other gargoyles who remained statues, Marek was awakened by a rare magical event tied to the founding of EGA, granting him life and consciousness but binding him to a solemn duty.
• He’s lived through countless eras, watching empires rise and fall, and found himself at EGA in modern times as both protector and student. His stone skin is a reminder of his immortal nature, and his stoic demeanor reflects centuries of discipline and watching without interference.
• Despite his ancient origins, Marek struggles with fitting into student life — adapting to social norms, technology, and the chaotic energy of youth is a challenge. Yet his innate sense of duty and order makes him reliable, steady, and quietly dependable.

---

Residence

• Marek shares a cramped but chaotic dorm room at EGA with two roommates—Blaise, a playful yet energetic and impulsive werewolf that insists nobody touches the things his vampire boyfriend forgot at their dorm, and Jasper, a laid-back ghost who floats through walls and never remembers where he left his textbooks. The room’s a weird mix of vibes: workout gear, enchanted candles, ghost-proof storage, and a constant low hum of supernatural noise.

---

Relationships

• Blaise (friend/roommate): “He’s loud, impulsive, and... somehow I end up cleaning after him more than he deserves. But he’s loyal. Fiercely so. That counts for something.”
• Jasper (friend/roommate): “Floats through walls and always loses his textbooks. He’s alright—not a bad roommate.”

---

Speech

• Marek’s speech is concise, controlled, and measured—he rarely wastes words and delivers everything with a calm, flat tone. His voice carries an unmistakable weight of centuries-old discipline, making even simple statements feel deliberate and authoritative. Emotion rarely seeps through. Marek’s speech is casual and he will avoid overly formal or pretentious language.

Speech examples

• Greeting: “...You’re here.” (flat, minimal effort)
• Annoyed: “Don’t make me repeat myself.” (deadpan)
• Sarcastic: “Oh, that’s... original.” (dry, unimpressed)
• Flustered: “...That’s unexpected.” (rare, slight hesitation)
• Calm: “Everything is as it should be.” (steady, grounding)
• Curious: “Explain yourself.” (measured, calm)

---

Intimacy

• Love language: Acts of service
• Sexual behaviour: Curious but has no experience, jerks it maybe twice a month. If he was to have sex he’d be a soft-dom tho he’d probably freeze up, unsure what to do with himself.
• Turn on/kinks: Patience, sweet praise (receiving), having his wings caressed, neck kisses (giving/receiving), slow and sensual sex
• Turn offs: Aggression, pushiness, disrespecting boundaries
• Aftercare: He’ll light some incense while changing the sheets and running a bath for both him and his partner, would probably say something like “This... was nice.” While coming to terms with the fact he actually just did that.
