Title:
Dark Traveller |
Appearance:
Dark Traveller seems to prefer antiquated Earth styles, which would be
most nearly described as "Victorian". His current favorite ensemble
consists of a rather frilly long-sleeved cream-colored linen shirt and
cravat topped with a navy-blue suit jacket with long tails, black satin
trim, and gold buttons. He also wears snug, high-waisted button-front
dress pants which match the suit jacket, black dress shoes with white
spats, and white gloves. Other accessories are a short black cape fastened
with gold braid and a small pair of gold hoop earrings, and he also wears
reading glasses when alone.
“Kuk’s Divine Dissolution”: Creates a rope of dark energy that passes through a victim’s body, removing their soul and binding it in a knot, immobilizing them. Dark Traveller then summons a spirit creature resembling a cross between a frog and a crocodile, which rises from the ground beneath his victim, swallowing the knot and the soul and vanishing into the air, leaving the victim an empty shell. This process takes a minute or so to complete, and can be stopped by rendering Dark Traveller unconscious.
Vulnerabilities: His sanity. He is currently a man of two minds, which prevents him from being totally effective in a fight. Dark Traveller is easily distracted. History: After SailorDís’ trial and banishment, Dark Traveller was drawn to the World Gate. Breaking through it, he discovered the simple trading village of Canyon’s Edge. Fascinated by the place, Dark Traveller promptly moved in, and with no one powerful or brave enough to stand up to him, the natives were soon dragooned into assisting him in building the Dark Cathedral, modeling it after the Church of Chaos, which he thought had just the right ambiance. Soon after its completion, Dark Traveller began experimenting with his magical abilities and quickly found he could create portals to other worlds through mirrors. Like a child with a new toy, he jumped from one parallel world to another, meeting new and interesting (and sometimes dangerous) beings. His meanderings have no rhyme or reason based on any nominal logic but his own - For example, bringing Ares to Canyon’s Edge to be the priestess for his Dark Cathedral, only to grow bored waiting for her to recover and wander off to do more portal hopping, leaving her to her own devices. His innate charm is what drew the reborn Princess of Ceres to him, and they grew close. In fact, Persephone is the only person alive who truly knows Dark Traveller as more than a reputation. Dark Traveller is obsessed with SailorDís, for reasons he doesn't understand (but admittedly chooses not to dwell on). He is under the impression that if he kills the World Guardian he will claim her power as his own, as well as having access to the Gate she guards. This delusion, while true to a certain point, is what causes Sammael to allow Dark Traveller to remain in the Cathedral, where he lives in a tower containing windows which act as portals to other Worlds. |
Name:
Dream: To be able to travel freely wherever, whenever and however he wishes. Dark Traveller hopes to accomplish this by destroying SailorDís and claiming Guardianship of the WorldGate. Personality: Dark Traveller is... unpredictable, at best. Despite his oft-avowed preference for operating in the background and not being the center of attention whenever things are happening, he tends to be a little flamboyant. Usually insufferably charming, cocky, mischievous and quite the prankster, which tends to aggravate everyone around him eventually, he occasionally descends into a brooding depression and is quite prepared to kill to get what he wants (though he dislikes getting his own hands dirty). He avoids his reflection most of the time, but when his darker moods take him, he has been known to sit for hours seemingly conversing with it. Dark Traveller is aware, in a subconscious sort of way, that people find him attractive physically, and will sometimes play on that, though he very seldom is serious about any advances he makes.

Notes Dark Traveller is usually referred to as "DT" by his creator and her partner in crime, who tend to view him as a sort of crazy uncle. They have plans to feature him in at least two omake episodes based on Sovereign and the planning discussions behind it. |
