Myca Varteres
From Lynnesheets
backstory
"Once I loved something so deeply I would have died for it, but I lived instead. Now I can't ever love anything enough to want to live for it, except you."
A very long time ago, Myca Varteres was a (relatively) normal young man, the youngest child in a large family that didn't quite know what to do with him, especially since he was born with magical power, but loved him anyway, was well-liked by the others in his town and with a lover who loved him with all his heart. But that was a long time ago, before his peaceful world was shattered by one of the powerful demons who had been trapped on Eodra since the Great Seal was put into place, a demon intent on killing everyone. Desperately trying to do something to save the people he loved, half-trained at best he tried to fight the demon in question: instead, he only managed to annoy it.
The demon killed everyone else and cursed Myca, to both not be able to die and to be constantly run through by a thousand and more metaphysical swords of hatred, both the demon's own hate and the hatred of the world against it. Since then, he's lived (if barely living), alternately trying to find a way to break said curse and fitfully sleeping and dreaming away years at a time. Grief found him asleep and woke him up, and Myca's very loyal to him because he's promised to find a way to break said curse.
And maybe then he can find peace.
