Ciel

Personality:

Ciel is a very lively, charismatic fellow! He thrives in any social environment and loves to make people smile. Often you will find Ciel laughing (likely at his own corny dad jokes). There’s always time for fun, right?

Strengths & Abilities:

• Pocket Dimension Storage: When Ciel needs to store something for later, Ciel can transport it to a small pocket dimension with a sleight of hand. However, he can only store a limited quantity of items at a time.

• Charismatic Smile: This wisp is almost always smiling! Ciel is a very upbeat person, which sometimes can rub off on others around him. Need to cheer yourself up? Ciel’s your guy!

• Well Prepared: Although not the most intelligent or talented fellow, Ciel is always ready to take things head-on and manages to find a way to get things done. Ciel is the co-manager at his workplace for a reason!

• Shining Light: Ciel’s head emits a soft light, allowing him better vision in the dark. 

Weaknesses & Flaws:

• Dependent: Without people around, Ciel doesn’t work as efficiently. He thrives on social interaction and doesn’t perform as well without it.

• Mental Turmoil: Ciel is certainly very chipper, but Ciel does have some worries of his own. Being away from his loved ones, especially those who are treated as if they were his own sons, makes Ciel anxious.

• High Temperatures: Due to the traits of his species, Ciel doesn’t fare well in hot conditions. Overheating can dim Ciel’s light and make Ciel lightheaded.

History & Summary:

Ciel spent a lot of his time alive trying to be as good as possible. Cheering others up, smiling lots, and making jokes was just Ciel’s thing! It was very important to Ciel that anyone who spent time with him went home a happier person. Everything was going great— he had a wife, a great reputation, and an amazing place to live!

Of course, not all things last, do they? Ciel’s wife eventually ended up divorcing the poor fellow. It was a devastating blow, but in Ciel’s words: “Life goes on”. And so it did… for only a short amount of time.

It had taken months for anyone to find Ciel’s corpse, let alone realize that he hadn’t been around— Meanwhile, in purgatory, Ciel had found himself with a job offer from a deity called Never. They offered him a job as manager of Never’s Altar— working under Never, of course— and Ciel just couldn’t refuse. Who would ever want to pass up being found useful?

And so, Ciel had work to get done. Lots of paperwork, lots of socializing… it was a precise balance. Things were back to looking up for Ciel! A year or so passes, and Ciel has adjusted to the afterlife and dealing with the flow of passing souls day after day.

A new employee is introduced to the crew— Helio. Never pronounces him as the new manager, which means that Ciel has been demoted. It came as a surprise to Ciel, but being the way he is, he adjusted quickly and started bonding with Helio. They became quite close, so much so that Ciel thought of the young fellow as his son.

…Which leads us to now: the Corded Castello. Never had sent Ciel to figure out what the awful ringing in their ears was, and he was happy to oblige. It almost seemed as if they were too quick to send Ciel away, but it wasn’t personal, was it? Regardless, Ciel has his work set out for him, and it’s time to investigate.

Description & Visual Reference: (Can also use picrew to create a reference if you’d like)

A humanoid with a wisp for a head. It looks akin to a flame, but it’s actually cold to the touch! As for the outfit, Ciel always dresses Ciel’s best— he loves a nice suit vest and blazer, but any other formalwear will do.

Practical Details (i.e. quirks, ways of speaking, etc.)

• Ciel smiles. A lot. It’s actually quite hard to muster a frown out of the fellow.

• He speaks and sounds like Soren from Minecraft: Story Mode. (Really great game, by the way.) Ciel’s mannerisms when speaking are typically more formal-sounding… so no slang or anything like that. 

• Whether he notices it or not, Ciel’s tail is often swaying from side to side happily.
