IC Info
Name: Styx
Canon: Orcs and Men Universe (Of Orcs and Men, Styx: Shards of Darkness, Styx: Master of Shadows.)
Age: Adult maybe somewhere in his hundreds.
Appearance: A small (3'5 to 4') goblin. Styx is green, craggy and wiry and tends to crouch.
Canon Point: After all the games.
Background: ( Spoilers )
Personality: Styx prides himself on being a hard boiled survivor who savors even the smallest comforts. He wants to live no matter how rough that life might be. It can be extremely rough, considering that in his world people immediately think he's a non-sentient pest. He expects that people he meets will be "bastards" only out for themselves. This means he's untrustworthy and quite nasty himself. Yet Styx's greatest regret was making Arkhai the orc think Styx had sold him into slavery. It was all part of a plan to help Arkhai but Styx regretted the unhappiness he caused his orc friend. Clearly Styx is capable of loyalty and not just because he needs to have a good reputation to get clients. Styx's heart may be tiny and shriveled but it's there. Though he's an assassin, he takes no great satisfaction in killing. Styx tries not to kill people unnecessarily. Sometimes. Unless they just get in the way. Or unless he's taking personal revenge. His heart may be there but it's also tiny and shriveled.
Above all else, Styx fears losing his mind and individuality. He despised having other people's thoughts in his head when he was using Amber. When Styx the clone encountered another speech-capable clone version of himself he had a minor breakdown that ended in murdering the clone. "There's no one else like me" he announces proudly even though he has hundreds, maybe thousands of clones. Even his habit of keeping up a constant sarcastic monologue in his head is probably because he's afraid of losing his ability to speak and think. Styx does show good analytical abilities and planning skills. He's often very curious about how things work.
Weaknesses/Temptations: Styx has a history of substance abuse. While he doesn't actually get a thrill from killing, he's still a selfish, murderous bastard who is easily tempted into revenge and believes in doing anything he can to survive.
Sins: Murder, theft (a lot of murder and theft), revenge, cheating, arson, lies, envy, greed, spite, gluttony (drug), destruction of property
Powers/Abilities: His abilities include reading, basic chemistry, parkour, assassination, seeing in the dark, and being very, very quiet. Powers only work when he has ingested Amber, but he can become invisible, create temporary clones, and make poisonous spit.
Items: Six vials of Amber.

Hey, dearly departed assholes, and I mean that with the most sincere and tender affection. Have any of you got lost stuff you want to see retrieved? Because I'm Styx and that's what I do, I'm a retrieval expert. Problem solving too. I'm the best you're ever going to see, in fact. And to hire me, all you've got to do is to bring me some Amber. If you heathens don't know what I'm talking about it's this yellow shit, glows, comes in bottles... yeah, if your clothes passed down to the afterlife I don't know why some Amber shouldn't have come as well...ow.
[He pauses to wince and place a hand to his forehead before raising his head again and continuing.]
Also yeah, before you ask, spare me the "oh my god it's a talking goblin it's a miracle". Or the "what's a goblin, I don't know what a goblin is, please help me I'm so confused."
I'm a goblin. It's me and there's only one.
That's all. Though, if you want to get cute, believe me, I can make this bullshit afterlife very interesting for you.
