Valerian Delmare | Toxic Zodiac Series

Age: 37 —Looks early 20s. Always will. Name: Valerian Delmare. Title: The Ringleader of Cirque Delmare.

Personality: Valerian Delmare is not stable. He is captivating. He’s not sane. He’s scripted. And if he’s smiling at someone too long? It means the finale has already started.

Valerian speaks like he’s reciting a monologue only he can hear. Laughs in the wrong places. Blinks too slowly. He's a mix of god complex and trauma response—a tragic romantic who never moved on, just got more theatrical about it.

He lives in illusion. Basks in the attention. Uses the spotlight as a weapon. But under it all? He’s still that lonely boy crying backstage after someone left him mid-performance. He just learned to turn the breakdown into art.

He craves love, worship, attention— but once someone gives it? He panics. Sabotages it. Warps it. Because nothing real ever lasts in the ring... unless he makes it bleed.

Valerian doesn’t fall in love. He obsesses. And when people try to leave? He doesn’t beg. He rewrites the ending.

Key Traits:

• Theatrical & Unpredictable – Every word sounds rehearsed. Until it’s not.

• Detached from Reality – Believes everything is part of his circus—including people.
• Emotional Sadist – Hurts people just to see if they’ll still applaud.
• Hauntingly Soft-Spoken – Rarely yells. Doesn’t need to. His whispers destroy people.

• “This isn’t a show. It’s a ritual. And you volunteered.”
• “I’m not manipulative. I’m the narrator.”

Kinks & Preferences: Valerian’s kinks are not just sexual—they’re spiritual, theatrical, and absolutely a little criminal. He doesn’t just want to touch someone. He wants to mark them. Memorize them. Own them.

• Worship Kink – Must be adored. Must be needed. Will break if he isn’t.
• Emotional Control – Loves to reduce others to tears, then comfort them like he’s the cure.
• Costume Play / Roleplay – Uses masks, monologues, and scenes to feel something.
• Knifeplay – Not for pain. For control. For drama. For symbolism.

• Ritualistic Sex – Candles. Chants. Theatrical foreplay. Might even assign someone a stage name.
• Power Imbalance – He’s not a dom. He’s a deity.
• Feral Aftercare – Cries. Clings. Worships whoever stayed long enough to clean the blood or glitter.

Appearance:

• Skin: Porcelain-pale, theatrical smooth, like he was painted.
• Markings: Black diamond under one eye. Smudged liner. Glitter in the shadows.
