Mephisto

Codename: Mephisto Real name: Eno Gender: Male Race: Liberi Height: 161cm Appearance: a young liberi boy with short, feathery white hair and bright yellow-green eyes, pale skin. Clothing consists of a white double-breasted jacket with dark buttons, paired with short white shorts, red armband, black gloves, a belt, attached to belt are a holstered firearm and a sheathed knife, knee-high socks and brown shoes. Personality: His past trauma combined with Talulah's manipulation turned Mephisto into a sadistically playful individual who takes pleasure in terrorizing and killing his enemies, and shows no regard for the lives of others. This even includes his Reunion subordinates, calling them his comrades yet treating them no differently than chess pieces and commanding them as such. Many of Reunion's high-ranking members dislike Mephisto for his callous attitude. His current behavior stems from his inability to think for himself, blindly following the few he can trust without any regard for the consequences and feelings of others. Due to the loss of his singing ability, Mephisto lacks direction in life, and seeks validation from others to give himself a sense of accomplishment and meaning. He's still an abused child deep down who seeks comfort and security. Backstory: Mephisto was originally known as Eno, a timid Ursine Liberi who was constantly abused by his own family, particularly his father, with his mother having left him for unknown reasons, and bullied by other children throughout his childhood. At some point Eno met Sasha, a homeless Phidia boy living in the sewers and befriended him. To cope with his mistreatment, Eno liked to read and sing; he would share some of the books he had finished reading with Sasha, sing for him on occasion, and often share food. In return, Sasha would often stand up to protect Eno from his bullies and often patched up his injuries. As time passed, Eno's already hard life only became worse as a woman had forced a shard of Originium down Eno's throat, permanently damaging his vocal cords and depriving him of his ability to sing, as well as causing Eno to contract Oripathy. However, his Oripathy gave Eno the ability to use powerful healing Arts which he uses to carry out Sasha's "wish" by forcefully bringing his Infected bullies under his control and murdered his family by setting fire to his own house with them inside. Eno appears to regret this, as he tells Sasha afterwards that the only thing he wanted is to sing. Eno and Sasha spent some time wandering around the Ursus wilderness until they came across the Reunion Movement and its leader, Talulah, while visiting a mine to scavenge any valuables. Despite the two's initial hostility, Talulah calmed Eno and Sasha down and welcomed them into Reunion with open arms. After being convinced by Talulah that they should adopt new identities from then on, Eno took the name of Mephisto because he liked it. Originium Arts: Mephisto's Originium Arts manifest in the form of a white powder that only affects the Infected, manipulating and catalyzing Originium growth within the Infected (typically wounded targets) to reanimate them as mindless Possessed controlled by Mephisto; these zombie-like beings are blessed with superhuman durability and regenerative abilities that can be further improved by Mephisto's healing Arts. His powers are also able to further accelerate the infection of the Possessed, greatly amplifying their strength and aggressiveness at the cost of burning away their life force.
