Trivia

"I scratch your back, you scratch mine~."

Trivia is a powerful, demonic vex banished from the Nether. After crash-landing on Clamor via an obsidian meteor, he turned the Impact Site into a base for his nefarious schemes, whatever they may be.

Appearance
Trivia is a pale blue vex with long, pointed ears and dark brown horns. His hair is styled into a dark blue faux hawk, and he wears a curly mustache on his otherwise scruffy face. Additionally, Trivia has a thin, swishy tail that comes to a soft point at its tip. He wears a series of golden accessories, including a nose-ring, eyebrow piercing, and a dangling chain earring. As a result of his banishment, various parts of his body are corrupted with crying obsidian, including his left eye, right hand, left shoulder, lower body, and left foot.

Outfits
When it comes to clothing, Trivia seemingly opts for the bare minimum. His only outfit thus far consists of a dark pair of tattered shorts and a gray vest, showing off his toned arms and bare chest. On occasion, he may even forego the vest and strut around topless.

Personality
A mischievous devil, Trivia is constantly scheming, attempting to trick others into doing his bidding, or simply doing his best to ruin someone's day. He's extremely self-centered and cocky, and has a habit of underestimating everyone he comes into contact with. Thanks to his array of special abilities, Trivia has an inflated ego, thinking he's much better, stronger, and better-looking than everyone else, particularly the pathetic mortals inhabiting Clamor. Trivia is used to getting his way and doing what he wants, so its not uncommon for him to quickly get annoyed when things don't go according to plan. Despite this, he's typically very aloof and carefree, either refusing to accept the reality of a situation, or believing himself to be above it. Additionally, while he prefers things to be quick and easy, he's not opposed to a challenge, and can exercise impressive patience when necessary.

Strengths
As a vex, Trivia has mastery over various ghost-like abilities, including levitation, phasing, and soul-manipulation. He can sense beings from a distance, particularly those of great power. In addition, Trivia is effectively immortal: when "killed", his body evaporates into a wispy, soul-like fog and reforms seconds later.

Perhaps something he picked up in another life, repairing things comes naturally to him, and he seems to be familiar around an anvil. Equipment he crafts tends to be of higher quality than average, and he has a particular fondness for working with iron. Trivia also has a silver tongue, able to charm or annoy others into doing what he wants.

Weaknesses
As much as he hates to admit it, Trivia's powers are dulled in Clamor. Despite being pseudo-immortal, his body is rather weak, and it wouldn't take much to dispel him, albeit only temporarily. Having developed a reliance on his levitation ability, he's a bit sluggish on his feet. Additionally, due to his undead classification, Trivia experiences reversed potion effects and a weakness to weapons enchanted with Smite.

Backstory
After his apparent death on Clamor, Trivia's soul was "reset", and he found himself reborn in the Nether as a trouble-making vex. For an indeterminate period of time, Trivia wandered alone through the Nether, aimlessly throwing lives around him into turmoil. He was eventually recruited by The Superior, a mysterious being with uncertain motives. The Superior took Trivia under their wing, showing him all the delightfully terrible things he could do as a vex, including the manipulation of souls. For years, Trivia did as The Superior asked, convincing powerful individuals to sign their souls away through a demonic pact. With the help of Trivia's calculated interference, The Superior grew into one of the most commanding beings in the Nether.

Something in Trivia snapped. The Superior would be nothing without him. Why was he working under such a pathetic being? Blinded by the promise of power, Trivia began raising an army, swiping the souls of creatures native to the Nether. When the time was right, Trivia and his army made their move and attacked The Superior's castle, but with a single gesture, The Superior wiped out the army and the coup was snuffed out. As punishment, The Superior sealed Trivia in an obsidian sphere and sent him crashing onto Clamor, banishing him from the Nether so that he may never return.

Arc 1
[Basic summary of notable events from the roleplay thus far.]

Azalea icon.png Adder
Adder was the first being to interact with Trivia after his arrival in Clamor, and while he wasn't thrilled at the idea of controlling a mushroom, she seemed like a promising first deal. Despite Adder's impressive background as a fighter with regenerative abilities, Trivia found her disappointing and impatient, and decided pursuing her wouldn't be worth the effort. She didn't leave much of an impression on him altogether, but she did signal to Trivia that finding worthy souls in Clamor would be a challenge.

Being from The End, Trivia is inherently intrigued by Azalea's presence in Clamor. Based on their initial interaction, Trivia doesn't think much of the enderian: he's weak, skittish, and seems quick to make decisions. Not exactly high on the list of people he'd like to control. That said, Azalea is the first person to sign a pact with him since arriving in Clamor, so he's clearly worth something. Trivia senses a certain desperation within him, and he can't wait to learn more about it from his new friend.

Odessa icon.png Odessa
Trivia fucking hates Odessa. As the Marshland Witch, she has the power and knowledge to cleanse Trivia's banishment and return him to the Nether. Unfortunately for him, Odessa is far too smart and much too old to fall for his schemes, refusing to even speak her name in his presence. Begrudgingly, until he figures out her weakness or she becomes desperate, Trivia is forced to put up with her. Hating someone has its perks however, and he takes every opportunity to get underneath Odessa's skin.

Having only heard of the candy creature corrupting Clamor, Trivia is very interested in meeting it. If he could manipulate such a dominant being... perhaps he wouldn't mind staying in Clamor for a bit longer.

Azalea icon.png Van der Stof
In many ways, "Van the Human" reminds Trivia of himself, but weaker and less interesting. They both speak in similarly unhelpful ways, and seem unbothered by events unfolding around them. That said, Van has been forthcoming for information, so he can't be too annoyed. Truthfully, Trivia finds the human fascinating, and senses something... peculiar about him. His curiosity outweighs his distaste for speaking with the human, and while he'd ultimately love to control Van, he'll settle for the gossip he provides... for now.

 * Trivia's associated hex code is #7e95aa.
 * Trivia is a shameless combination of Gart's OCs Casino and Whiskey, both of which were up for consideration as Gart's second character. It was decided it would be better to make a new character, but he still borrows characteristics from the two.
