Name: Mchawi Hyena
Aliases: Vile
Species: Spotted Hyena
Age: ~30 y/o
Pronouns: They/Them
Affiliation: Doctor Robotnik
Physical Description: A gold/yellow hyena with brown spots.
Mane is ginger-brown with upward facing “spikes”. Ears, nose
and eye sockets are black. Notable large, bright red eyes.
Large, broad teeth. Three holes in each ear (pierced such
intentionally: not wounds). Average build, if a slightly stocky
upper body. Adult mobian and decently big animal, so larger
than your typical -- 4’ 3”, 140 lbs.
Standard attire: Wears a single piece dark blue suit with
yellow trim and a grey-purple cloak. Grey gloves. Grey
steel-toed boots with rockets in the heels. Gold-yellow belt
housing various small gems of different colors. Single light
cyan spire crystal around neck.
Personality:
-/+ Perfectionist ~ Vile is proud of their work, to the point
that they can hole up for unhealthy amounts of time and refuse
to let anyone see results until they’re sure it’s up to their
standards. The plus side is that they do often produce some
fine results and earn their keep.
+ Clever ~ Flying much in the face of the stupid hyena sterotype
(ugh, specisim), Vile is quite clever. They’re not reckless,
and know when to wait, and when to bite their tongue. They’re
also skilled in certain fields of science, namely geology -- as
well as knowledgeable of their home clan’s dark magic, coming
from a unique standpoint of seeing science and magic as equally
valid… even, two sides of the same coin?
- Clingy ~Vile neither hides nor is ashamed of their romantic
interest in Robotnik. Their loyalty, at least, is nigh
unquestionable. This tends to a positive for the overlander and
his other loyals, given Vile will go to great lengths to assure
the wellbeing of their allies, though it takes its toll on
Vile’s mental health. This probably isn’t a healthy
relationship.
+ Humorous ~ It’s not funny, Ed.
- Damaged ~ You don’t end up among villainous ilk without some
kind of a tragedy (usually). Years of speciesism has at first
ruined Vile’s self esteem. However, employment in Robotropolis
has actually managed to pull Vile up, now seeing themselves as
useful. Now, Vile is utterly hardened to any attempts at “help”
from other Mobians, having been burned so many times before for
their lineage and magic practices. They feel more at ease among
the outcasts who tend to hang around the despot’s city.
?? """Quirky""" ~ They really like rocks. And spellcasting.
And Robotnik. Like, a lot. Bones and other animal body parts
feature in their accessories on top of things like crystals and
herbs. Their quarters is full of weird and possibly concerning
items.
Background:
Vile began life as Mchawi in an isolated hyena clan (not the
Nasty Hyenas but we’ll circle around to that), reared by their
single mother, Laana, one of the clan’s most talented dark magic
practitioners. Their mother gave Vile a good start by teaching
them everything she knew of the dark arts. This was really for
the better, because Vile’s birth clan was fated for destruction.
Local superstition cast a wary eye toward the clan and their
dark magic. As well, most hyena clans tended to be conflated
with the Nasty Hyenas, who were known to be dangerous. In
teenagehood, Vile’s clan was attacked and burned to the ground
in the night. Several of their clan were killed, though Vile to
this day is unaware if Laana was among the casualties. Upon
being coaxed to flee for their lives by their mother, Vile
briefly took to a nomadic lifestyle.
Eventually, into adulthood, Vile was accepted among the Acorn
Kingdom’s royal scientists, specifically in the geology division
where they were put to work investigated something very
interesting you may know, mmm?? (Chaos Emeralds. It’s Chaos
Emeralds). During their time amongst the royal court, they had
the occional (brief and stilted with formal procedure) run in
with the then-current Warlord, Julian -- who seemed to take keen
interest in their study of the Chaos Emeralds, and likewise,
Vile took keen interest in… Julian. Though their encounters
before the coup were few and far between.
Speaking of the coup, Vile was away from Mobotropolis during the
time, still on their mission to study Chaos Emeralds. Once news
of the war hit the general public, Vile was ripped away from
their work, entirely against their wishes mind, and force
drafted into the Savanna Freedom Fighters. At that, Vile was
confined to being low-ranking because speciesism and could not
advance the ranks even if they wanted. Frequently, the witch
found themselves griefed by lion members of the devision mostly
based around the legend of hyenas and lions having been at war
since the dawn of time. The more “heroic” (read:
self-righteous) of the team also took issue with Vile’s use of
the Dark Arts.
Needless to say, it wasn’t a massive jump for Vile to be
convinced to take the side of evil, least of all having been
previously swayed by the good Doctor's... "charms". Vile was
able to get a foot in the door by appealing to Snively when
their Freedom Fighters abandoned them and they were captured.
Vile promised Snively relief from some of the work he deemed was
"below him" if they were allowed to swear loyalty to Robotnik.
While granted audience with Robotnik himself, it took a fair
amount of convincing to allow a Mobian among his ranks.
Chiefly, Robotnik immediately put Vile to use as a spy to test
their loyalty -- they would lead many an unsuspecting Freedom
Fighter to their doom. Their own division was the first to go.
How could you tell them they were wrong?
More currently, Vile preforms healing rituals for their
villainous comrades which, frankly, they often needed due to
their run-ins with Sonic the Hedgehog, and is a chief healer.
Though their skills in dark magic allows them to do more; they
still occasionally act as a sabotager -- tricking the
unsuspecting into signing contacts that would grant their
wishes, under the caveat of a nigh impossible task. Using their
“wish granting” Vile now owns several other Mobians’s immortal
souls. Vile is also frequently head of various magic crystal
finding missions, granted use of a Cheetah Drone to help with
their scouting missions. At Robotropolis, they frequently offer
their services of black magic to their overlord, hoping to
further gain his favor.
Abilities & Drawbacks:
Crystal Healing ~ Vile’s main function within the empire is to
act as a healer. They chiefly do this through use of special
magic crystals. The most powerful crystal in their possession
is worn around their neck, and is able to heal an unlimited
amount of minor to moderate wounds, although a complete heal of
severe to deadly wounds is limited to only two individuals per
24 hours. They keep at least a dozen other crystals of lesser
power on their person. As energy is channeled through the
crystals rather than from Vile, they have far less risk of
draining themselves than do magic users whose abilities are
inherent.
Spell Casting ~ Given proper ingredients, Vile is able to cast
a variety of magic spells. Rather than having magic inherent,
they channel it through the use of magic objects. The stronger
spells require preparation (see, elixir crafting). Most of
their expertise lies in various curses, contact with the dead,
and the animation of corpses (you know, dark magic stuff). They
can also conjure soul contracts, which grant a transformation
onto the recipient under the caveat of performing a task within
an amount of time; failure to make good on the agreement will
result in Vile owning the signer’s soul. Actual Disney witch.
Elixir Crafting ~ Elixirs can be used in place of spells and
are typically granted by Vile so that it’s recipient can get
magic affects without Vile necessarily having to be present.
Vile is also able to use pre-mixed elixirs to cast advanced
spells whenever it would be inconvenient to assemble ingredients
on the spot. They tend to carry at least a dozen active bottles
on them at one time, typically mixes that make it easy for them
to escape trouble.
Crystal Seeking ~ Given most of their magic revolves around the
use of crystals, Vile has honed an innate ability to sense magic
objects nearby. One of their few inherent powers, Vile can
detect concentrations of magic from some distance, much more so
when entering a meditative state. They are able to detect
powerful individuals before seeing them and are especially
sensitive to Chaos energy, sometimes to the point of becoming
overstimulated.
Hyena Jaws ~ 100% would crush your bones.
Other Junk:
Will add to as seen fit.
