Cruxophim (prime)

Cruxophim 'Crux' Thirteen is an Aelotoi of somewhat dubious origins, an Empath in theory (although he often refers to himself instead as a 'high-functioning sociopath', which is likely more accurate), and a devotee of [[::Althedeus|Zelia]].

Cruxophim is a moniker of unclear etymology; his true name - insomuch as he has one - is Thirteen (or XIII), as designated by the brand on his forearm.

Appearance:

• Unveiled:

You see Mayor Cruxophim the Blood Reaver.

He appears to be an Aelotoi.

He is possessed of a statuesque height and has a gaunt, spare physique. He appears to have come of age.

He has black hollows that frame crimson-veined luminous yellow eyes and pale, dark-veined ceraceous skin.

He has long, windswept raven-black hair haphazardly threaded with various tiny slivers of decaying bone, the matted disarray held to one side by a blackened crow skull ornament.

He has a gaunt, almost skeletal face and a glowing red claw-shaped mark scorched into his flesh.

He has a pair of blood red-veined deep black wings.

• Veiled:

Through a sinister black haze, you see an aelotoi Champion of Zelia with pale, dark-veined ceraceous skin and black hollows that frame crimson-veined luminous yellow eyes. Interspersed within the dim aura are miniature white skulls that float around him.

• Attire:

He is wearing a short-crowned black silk capotain, some [[::WoundedWear|circular black-lensed goggles]] thickly spattered with blood and viscera, some sleek ebon leather pauldrons paneled with beveled glaes bands, a moon-filled [[::MoonShard_pendant|black ora pendant]], a billowy cloak of shadows, a wire-bound raven skull fetish, a shadowy black bone phalange, a claw-bound crow skull fetish, a smooth black ebonwood kit slung over his shoulder, a bone-edged witchwood case slung over his other shoulder, a chain-bound small eldritch coffin, a weathered leather harness made from a multitude of straps over some segmented sleek dark body armor with a sleek black silk shirt heavily drenched with shadowy viscous blood underneath, a dark array of [[::WoundedWear|swathed stygian bands]] heavily drenched with shadowy viscous blood, some sleek [[::Shadowdeath_vambraces_(saved_post)|black alloy vambraces]], some [[::GoryWeapons_(saved_posts)|dark steel articulated gauntlets]], a blackened raven skull ring, an obsidian ring of thorns, a carved scaphoid bone ring, a cage of decrepit bone, a dark skeleton key strung from a twisted chain, an incarnadine black-veined organ, some soft black leather pants, and some knee-high strapped black boots.

Mayor of Wehnimer's Landing in 5117, and Actions While in Office

In 5117, Cruxophim was elected the [3rd player-elected] Mayor of Wehnimer's Landing by 114 votes, to the horror and consternation of many.

One of Cruxophim's first actions[1] while in office was to appoint eleven Advisors, to assist with duties and offer counsel.

The following are the individuals which I have requested for the position of Advisor to the Mayor, chosen for their long-standing service and dedication to Wehnimer's Landing:

• Avalera: As my Counselor in matters of Religion & Spirituality, and as an Envoy to the Order of the Silver Gryphon.
• Dergoatean: Will be retained on a voluntary basis as needed or available (at his discretion), to offer his knowledge on matters of Occult Languages & Translation.
• Dirra: As my Counselor in Imperial matters, and hopefully, as an Envoy to our neighbors in Solhaven and the Order of the Azure Sun.
• Hapenlok: As my Counselor in matters of Warfare, Defense, and Elemental Magic, and to act as a Scout (subordinate to Thrayzar) if needed.

• Lylia: As my Counselor in matters of Diplomacy and Law, and to act as Envoy to our neighbors in the Faendryl Enclave.
