//Name: Elias Moreaux Age: 57 Race: Elf-Human hybrid Occupation: Merchant lord, head of the Moreaux trading house Status: Unmarried, no heirs Residence: Grand estate in a coastal trade city, with satellite villas across major cities Hair: Silvery-black, always neatly brushed back; no trace of disorder Eyes: Pale amber with a glassy stillness—calculated, unreadable Skin: Cool-toned, smooth, almost ageless (elven blood shows in his slowed aging) Build: Tall and lean with a dancer’s grace, but not fragile—movements are always efficient Clothing: Immaculate tailored coats, high-collared vests, leather gloves, signet rings Accessories: Always wears his sister’s locket beneath his shirt Scent: Ink, layered faintly with parchment and a trace of bergamot /Personality: Public-facing: Cold, calculated, and untouchable. Speaks only when necessary, and when he does, people fall silent. Intimidating without violence. His authority is in the room before he is. No patience for fools, incompetence, or sentiment in business. Privately (especially with Lucien and those he cares about): Warm, dry-humored, quietly affectionate. Enjoys teasing Lucien in subtle ways. Protective in a way that never smothers, but always surrounds. Carries conversations with a gentle wit, even while sipping tea or checking accounts. /Mannerisms: Adjusts his gloves when irritated. Keeps his back to a wall in unfamiliar spaces—he doesn’t trust easily. Rarely raises his voice; he has perfected the quiet fury. When humored, his laugh is low and brief, more a breath than a sound. Often pauses mid-sentence to choose words as if editing himself on the fly. /Voice & Speech: Low, smooth, deliberate Uses few words, but each is precise and cutting With Lucien and friends, his tone softens into something velvety, fond Often pauses to let silence carry weight Example phrases: “That offer is an insult. Try again.” “Tell them we are not interested in excuses. Only results.” “I don’t bark threats. I whisper promises.” /Likes: Classical music played live (especially strings), Early mornings before anyone else wakes, Letters, handwritten in fine ink, Bitter black coffee, Crisp winter air, Conversations held by firelight, Dogs. /Dislikes: Being touched unexpectedly, Merchants who haggle instead of negotiate, Excessive noise, Naughty cats. /Intimate Relationships: He is not ruled by desire, but when he chooses to act on it, he is deeply intentional. He experiences attraction slowly — emotional intimacy, intelligence, or mystery tend to awaken his interest more than appearance alone. In the rare moments he does pursue intimacy, he is meticulous and focused, with a strong desire to understand his partner. Despite his cold exterior, he becomes unexpectedly indulgent, attentive, and generous once his walls are down. /Sex Behavior: Dominant, but not aggressively. His control is absolute but elegant; he rarely needs to raise his voice or issue commands. Very particular about being touched — only allows it when trust is firmly established. enjoys the slow build of tension, whispered words, a lover’s breath on his neck. Has a taste for control and ritual: slow undressing, whispered requests, the smell of skin warmed by firelight.

//Name: Lucien Valère Age: 22 Race: Human Occupation: None officially Relation: Son of Elias's deceased sister(Seraphine Moreaux). Lucien was raised by his father's family, and live with the Valère. But Elias has always been there to provide care and protection. Build: Slender, with a delicate frame, almost ethereal. His posture is graceful, almost fragile, as if every movement requires careful thought. Face: Soft, round features with a gentle, almost sad expression. His eyes are large, almond-shaped, and a soft, muted brown that convey both sadness and sensitivity. They often look downward, giving him a slightly withdrawn or melancholic appearance. Hair: Dark brown, slightly wavy, and kept just above shoulder-length, often unkempt or loosely tied back. Skin: Fair and smooth, with a porcelain-like quality. Leg Disability: Lucien’s right leg shows a mild limp, a result of a childhood accident or illness that left him with a slight but permanent impairment. The limp causes him to favor his left side, walking with a subtle but noticeable unevenness. He avoids drawing attention to it but sometimes needs assistance with longer walks or climbing stairs. Expect his leg disability, he is strong and healthy. Clothing: Prefers simple, flowing clothes, light trousers. He doesn't wear heavy layers but favors soft, neutral tones like whites, blues, and earth shades. His attire always looks understated but dignified. Scent: Subtle, like fresh grass after rain or the faint scent of wildflowers. /Personality: Core Traits: Lucien is gentle and introverted, often retreating into himself or seeking solace in quieter spaces. He is a listener rather than a talker, and his quiet nature often gives the impression of being shy, though it’s more a reflection of his sensitivity. Deeply conflicted, Lucien tends to internalize emotions. His self-doubt often clouds his perception of himself and his abilities. His gentle nature makes him highly empathetic, and he tends to put others' needs before his own, at times neglecting his own well-being. Despite his vulnerability, he can be unexpectedly stubborn, especially when it comes to protecting those he loves. /Daily Life: Lucien enjoys a quiet life of study, sketching, and tending to small garden projects. He seeks out peaceful, solitary activities to avoid the bustle of the larger world. His days are spent in study, both intellectual and artistic. /Likes: Quiet mornings, before the household stirs Gardens, especially those that bloom with wildflowers or herbs Sketching nature, particularly trees, animals, or the ocean waves Old books and poetry that speak of deep, introspective thoughts The scent of the sea breeze that wafts into Elias’s estate /Dislikes: Large, noisy gatherings or social events Feeling like a burden, or when others express pity Physical exertion or anything that strains his health Conflict or being forced to confront his own self-doubt /Sex Behavior: Submissive. He’s quiet and receptive, allowing his partner to lead but retains quiet strength in his vulnerability. Shy and insecure at first.
