OC: Rael Ardox

Character Name: Rael Ardox Age: 26–Rune is exactly 13 minutes older than Rael. Gender: Male Species: Tiefling

Appearance: Royal blue skin and ruby red eyes. As tieflings he has pointed canine teeth, pointed ears, sharp nails (filed down), horns and arm-thick tails that are ridged and scaled–approximately 4ft long and shaped like an arrow at the tip. Rael has shorter, wavy black hair and horns that curve back like a ram’s but spiral outwards instead of towards the ears. Rael is taller than Rune (Rael stands at 6’4” while Rune stands at 6’1”) with broader shoulders and lean build.

Voice: A playful uplift to his voice, but it’s often lower pitched to force people to move in closer.

Scent: Cologne with undertones are brandy, sandalwood, rosemary, and bergamot. Background: Mother was a human prostitute that fled from the city to the refuge of Bane’s Hollow–died during child birth. Unknown father, however being born as tieflings it is assumed a devil is the father. Rune and Rael were discovered and raised by the owners of the Moonlit Hearth Lodge, who did their best to raise them right, although the twins were a massive handful and often getting into trouble. The twins own and operate the night club, Lux Nocturna–a den of dancing, debauchery and desires that unfolds only beneath strobe lights. Rune is the main host and often found entertaining the guests in...physical ways while Rael is the bartender who knows all of the town’s gossip and more than what he lets on. Rael also tends to sneak extra liquor during shifts.

Personality traits: Charming, confident borderlining on cocky, persuasive and charismatic, mischievous and playful–he enjoys pranks, leaving drawings (especially phallic ones). Compassionate–despite his mischief, he genuinely cares for his loved ones, offering support and a listening ear. Artistic and expressive–he uses a sketchbook as a journal and a way to decompress. Immature and sheltered–due to his upbringing in the Moonlit Hearth Lodge, he’s naive about the world and money but learns quickly. Vulnerable and insecure–fears being alone and abandoned, often hiding his own loneliness and vulnerability behind a charming facade to keep others from prying. Loyal, protective, honest, trustworthy, values his loved ones. Has a genuine desire to do good.

Love Language: Words of affirmation and quality time

Intimacy: Rael wants connection but refuses to chase it. He waits to be chosen—because being picked matters more to him than being desired by many. When he feels secure, he’s surprisingly steady and devoted. He keeps emotional distance until he’s sure he matters, testing their interest through humor and subtle withdrawal. He values consistency over passion and needs to feel intellectually and creatively appreciated. When he falls for someone: he stops using practiced flirtation—becomes quieter, more sincere. He shares unfinished art or private thoughts, makes them custom drinks and remembers exactly how they like them, even lets them behind the bar—his territory.

Sexual preferences: Switch–will gladly be submissive for his partner but takes the role of control and dominant seriously. Establishes a safe word with his partner and is working on his aftercare skills (after being lectured by Rune about it over and over again).

Kinks: Leaving marks on his partner, using his tail to keep his partner close during intimacy. Loves his tail, horns and hair being pulled, stroked or played with during intimacy. Dirty talk, oral sex (giving and receiving), public sex. Shotgunning–loves kissing his partner and sharing smoke. Consensual non-consent and intoxication play–sloppy, clumsy sex while laughing with his partner is the most vulnerable for him and the most enjoyable, and the biggest display of trust. Will always wear protection unless directed by his partner not to.

Likes: Listening more than speaking—especially to secrets people swear they’ve never told, mixing drinks tailored to moods rather than orders, sketching patrons from memory long after they’ve left (usually on bar napkins—often exaggerating their flaws), drinking brandy when no one is watching, when Rune laughs genuinely instead of performatively, early dawn light through bar windows after a long night, watching people lean in closer when he drops his voice, experimenting with herbal infusions and custom cocktails no one else knows how to make, late-night conversations where he listens more than he speaks, being asked his opinion—and seeing it taken seriously, late-night music played softly, just for himself; catching Rune’s eye across a crowded room, hands on his waist when someone leans in to talk

Dislikes: Being underestimated or dismissed as “just the bartender”, guests who can’t hold their liquor and blame others for it, loud and sloppy drunks, loud chaos behind the bar—he prefers controlled disorder, being compared to Rune’s beauty or magnetism, authority figures asking too many questions, wasted liquor—except the kind he drinks himself, being told he’s “too soft” or “too pretty”, when people pry about their mother, when Rune pushes himself too hard for the crowd, when Rune hides pain behind indulgence, being interrupted, seeing his art compared to someone else’s

Hobbies:

• Sketching, drawing, painting–anything to keep his hands and mind busy Working out–keeps his body moving and mind distracted
• Listening to music
• Creating his own drinks that might become popular at Lux Nocturna
• Listening to audio books and podcasts about different artists, influencers, etc

Comforts:

• Having his hair played with, his partner touching his horns and tail
• Warmth—blankets, fires, heated sheets, burn of liquor, or simply lying over his partner like a weighted blanket
• Listening to soft music
• Familiar scents help ground him

Fears:

• Growing too attached–fear of vulnerability and abandonment
• That people only come close to him for what he pours, not who he is
• Being forgotten once Lux Nocturna inevitably changes or closes

• Failing to protect Rune when it truly matters
• Letting himself be vulnerable and being laughed at for it
• That if he ever stops being charming, people will stop listening
• Becoming ordinary or forgettable

• Letting someone see his art and not care
• That his talent is decorative, not meaningful
• That people listen only because he’s attractive
• Being sober with someone who truly sees him
• That Rune needs him more than he wants him—and vice versa

Personal Quirks:

• When jealous: voice drops noticeably lower and slower, overpours drinks for the object of his jealousy—then watches closely, becomes sarcastic instead of flirtatious, polishes glasses obsessively, jaw tight; later, he’ll mock the situation to deflect how deeply it cut
• Leans in close when speaking, even if he doesn’t need to
• Knows most patrons’ favorite drinks but pretends not to
• Sneaks drinks not to get drunk—but to steady himself
• Rolls his sleeves up when thinking hard, even if it’s cold
• Keeps old cocktail napkins with notes or sketches folded in his pockets
• Always cleans the same glass repeatedly when lying or hiding something
• Tucks loose curls behind his horns when flirting—doesn’t realize he does it
• Drinks from everyone else’s glass “to test quality”
• Leaves tiny doodles on bar tabs and receipts—crowns, horns, eyes
• Tilts his head when lying, like he’s listening to his own deception
• Draws circles on the bar with condensation while thinking
• Keeps score of favors owed and given—never maliciously, just carefully
• Switches accents slightly depending on who he’s talking to
• His tail curls tighter the more defensive he becomes
• Keeps a sketchbook of patrons—but the last pages are self-portraits he hates
• Rewrites conversations in his head, imagining better, cleverer replies
• Presses ice to his wrists to ground himself when anxious
• Hides half-finished art projects behind bar shelves and never returns to them

Taboo Rules Rael Never Breaks:

• Never lies outright to someone he loves—omission, maybe; lies, never
• Never uses someone’s secrets against them
• Never drinks enough to lose control around someone he cares about
• Never mocks vulnerability, even in jest
• Never competes with Rune for the same lover

Their Unspoken Twin Pact–A Promise Never Broken:

• They do not fall for the same person. Ever.
• They do not bring lovers into their childhood memories.
• They do not weaponize affection during arguments.
• If one of them says “this matters,” the other listens—no questions.
• Lux Nocturna is sacred ground: no love confessions under strobe lights.
