a relic of war
Standing at 8 fulms and sporting a distinctive shattered helm, Criticality has an imposing presence, even without the air of playful malice that he radiates. The armor exudes an effortless confidence, insufferably smug regardless of the situation.His voice echoing within a seemingly hollow armor, even harmless conversations may seem like you're making a deal with the devil, and he delights in unsettling or flustering others.It is not uncommon for the armor to say hello with a fight, even for those he's fond of. However if he finds you within the innermost halls of Amdapor, a place he devotedly haunts, it is a much less playful confrontation you will find.While Criticality is indeed voidsent, the living armor poses as man serving as a modest, albeit strange, bodyguard. When serving as said bodyguard he strives to be more or less well-behaved, but beneath his flippant sass there is a mystique about him, an ageless quality of a man who has seen too much to be entirely normal.
HOOKS
MHACH
Even the mere mention of the ancient civilization raises the armor's hackles, and persistent pressing of the matter only heightens his aggression. There is no mistaking his utter hatred of the Mhach and black mages, particularly void mages, the latter prompting instant murderous rage.
.
the lost city
One of the armor's frequent haunts, he devotedly patrols the lower levels of Amdapor. Why, the man will often deflect, not that he will give you much opportunity to ask if he finds you there.
.
unlikely protector
The armor is frequently seen with a tired, fussy (at least around him) conjurer. He is fiercely protective of them, despite his playful antagonizing, and may even be perceived behaving uncommonly thoughtful toward them. He is certainly better behaved in their presence, as if somehow soothed.
.
ARMOR
Those familiar with relics from another age or the history of armor-crafting may notice his armor is centuries old, tarnished by countless years. And those who are sensitive to aetheric wards and woven spells can tell that there is a powerful containment ward woven into the armored vessel, and the dense, writhing void trapped within that pilots this moving cage.
.
the void
Criticality is voidsent, and depending on what this means for your character, negative or positive, this may be a point of confrontation, or interest. While he does not openly reveal his nature, it is not out of the question that those with aethersight, or the extremely observant, may pick up on what lives inside the ornate armor.

OOC
out of character
▫ I will not tolerate any form of bigotry, transphobia, homophobia, or racism.▫ I am 21+, and feel most comfortable when writing partners are as well.▫ I am most interested in mature and dark themes, though I am down for a lot of different kinds of RP as long as we communicate clearly OOCly first! For mature themes, I absolutely require the consent of all involved.▫ Criticality can be antagonistic and confrontational, but please know I am never trying to make anyone uncomfortable. IC ≠ OOC, and even if I am very excited about your character, he may still be a huge ass. If you are uncomfortable with conflict, please let me know and we can coordinate appropriately. ♥▫ Criticality is not available romantically. If that is the kind of RP you're interested in, it may be best to look elsewhere!▫ I am very introverted, with a limited social battery, so sometimes correspondence and scheduling RP may take me some time! I ask that you be patient with me, I am just a tired old gay.▫ All of the artwork on this page is by me. If you want more unhinged ramblings and art about him, you can check out my twitter. Thanks for taking the time to read about my bastard man.
