Biography
▬▬ REGULUS, Aide ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ♢♢♢ Adric Sect | Clan Lore One of the most trusted in the Adric Sect, and the one Lord Justinian has deemed responsible for the others. Regulus is the one who keeps the rest in check, stops them from fighting amongst themselves with his silver tongue. Regulus is unwaveringly loyal to his Lord, a loyalty that led to him being the sect member who speaks with Justinian most often. He is often seen as the go-between for Justinian and his subjects. The sect's member's only solace from his overbearing gaze are his frequent trips outside of the lair. Regulus has taken communications with allies and neutral parties into his own hands - out of distrust of Bassidera, no doubt - so he's often out on business. |

In this chaotic world, law is everything. That is how Regulus Iolanthe views it. Perhaps that is why he's clung to Justinian like an pesky insect - not because Justinian is some paragon of order, but the opposite. Justinian is the one who dictates the chaos, who creates an eye of the storm centered around himself while the world is whipped afrenzy. But order always arises from chaos. The storm cannot continue indefinitely. If one dragons stands above all at the end, then it is his laws that create the world anew. Regulus will lie in wait for the storm clouds to clear and the world, reborn, will lay itself before him. Regulus will be the lawmaker, for laws are everything in this chaotic world. Regulus was born Regulus, tossed from his kingdom, resorted to a disgraceful life of searching in abandoned crypts. While he was essentially a glorified thief and antiques dealer, his true goal was to gain power. Those stories of gods and ghosts that waited to prey on weary souls were the only things that brought him solace. They were the true path to power, he figured. But he found no such things in those dusty tombs. Instead, he stumbled upon Justinian - an ambitious and passionate man who seemed to be a God unto himself. Justinian seemed to take a liking to Regulus - how rarely he met someone who shared his ambitions - and recruited him to the Sect. That was years ago. Over time, his dedication to Lord Justinian has only grown stronger, and sect member's deviations from the Lord's rules only serve to irritate him more. He's earned a reputation for being strict and harsh above all else. |

♢ Lore Notes ________________________________ • Fully addressed as Regulus Iolanthe • He's totally in love with Justinian and doesn't realize it. I keep joking about him being Justinian's little boyfriend. I'm not strong enough to make it canon. Yet. • The star earring was originally Justinian's. • Both he and Justinian are together based on "The Second Coming" by William Butler Yeats • Delusions of grandeur, but A+ for ambition |
♢ Design/Other Notes ________________________________ • His mane shifts in color between blue and starmap gold as it runs down his back. |
First Encounter wrote:
At the tavern he stayed with previously, when they heard Regulus was traveling to the Hewn City, they laughed in his face. They said he'd be dead by morning, that within the dense fog lay horrors that no dragon has ever survived. Annoyed at their laughter, Regulus simply dismissed the claims and set off toward the ruins. He had no business being there, but hunting ancient artifacts was the one thing he could do. Even years after the destruction of his family's reign, finding a goal in life when he was previously lacking one still proved hard - once Regulus had seen what dragons were capable of, how could he settle for something as mundane as happiness?
Alas, all of that thinking about the recreation of the world would once again come to rest in an empty, artifactless tomb. However, this day was different. It would appear the tomb was not as empty as Regulus originally thought.
Within the dusty depths, something stirred. A dark shaped moved - it was a dragon. The form of a wildclaw lifted itself from the shadows, it's spotted wings unfurling as it rose to it's full height. Lingering dust in the air filtered out any light from the entrance - the dragon was entirely in shadow except for the glinting gold from his jewelry and the shining light of his yellow eyes. Eyes which were turned directly toward Regulus. The skydancer took a cautious step back.
"And who might you be?" the dark wildclaw asked. His voice was deep, cold. It filled the room. He couldn't have been much larger than Regulus, but the sense of presence this stranger carried with him was so intense that the skydancer couldn't bring himself respond. The wildclaw walked a bit closer and added "You aren't of the sect. Are you perhaps a traveler? There's no need to hold your tongue."
Regulus still couldn't move, but he couldn't tell if his locked muscles were from fear or awe. The wildclaw was closer to the light now, closer to him. In the dust-filtered sunlight, Regulus could barely make out the dragon's appearance. The wildclaw's feathers were dark and he was adorned in jewelry from head to claw. This stranger didn't feel entirely... dragonlike - he was sinister, dangerous. It was as if the one before him wasn't a dragon at all, but some kind of deity whose tomb had been disturbed.
It was exactly what Regulus had been secretly hoping to find. His interest was piqued, and the very idea that he may have found his holy grail gave him the courage to finally speak.
"Regulus Iolanthe is my name. I am a..." he stopped for just a brief second. He hardly knew what he considered himself. "... I hunt for artifacts." The wildclaw raised an eyebrow at this, but Regulus couldn't stop himself from continuing. "May I... ask who you are?"
The wildclaw let out a small chuckle, "You needn't hesitate so much, Regulus. Let's do away with formalities... Simply call me Justinian." He stepped ever closer, and his golden jewelry shimmered in the dim light with every movement. "Your search interests me, Regulus. Just what sort of artifacts are you searching for?"
Hearing his own name uttered by this imposing dragon, by this Justinian, sent a shiver down Regulus' spine. Though he couldn't explain why, he was no longer frightened. In fact, he was emboldened. Although he'd always hid the real reason for his search from others, he felt that this new acquaintance would understand him far better than any other dragon could.
Regulus spoke with confidence. "I wish to bring about the end of the world, but I can't do it myself. There must be some ancient implement that could help me."
After a brief period of thought, Justinian's face twisted into a dark smile that revealed his sharp white teeth. "What an interesting desire," he mused. With one swift movement, Justinian suddenly closed in to where the two dragons' faces weren't even a foot apart. Regulus started to pull away, but he stopped himself when he saw Justinian's expression - there was neither malice nor mockery. Justinian's golden eyes, so close, were alight when he said "Searching in these ruins is a fool's errand. Our stars have aligned - how would you like to usher in my era as a new God?"
With that question, Justinian reached out his hand for Regulus to take it. The hand was darkened with scutes and long claws at the end - it resembled a bird's talons more than the hand of a wildclaw. It truly was Regulus' dream to create a new world, but he'd never considered that he didn't have to do it alone. He slowly, slowly, lifted his hand and put it into Justinian's waiting claws. Together they would achieve what neither could do on his own.
