OKAY SO wrt BRAINSTORMIN' about SOME NERD
In Terms of Abilities: they are EXTREMELY MAGICAL but they're not like...AN WIZARD. They do not as such do the spells but they have an INTERNAL MAGICAL REFERENCE that allows them to know all kinds of mad convenient SIGILS and GLYPHS and arguably, RUNES, which are largely not necessary but can be helpful. In terms of their inherent magic, they have an ability to (normally only consensually) share memory and sensation with others via touch. They can sense magic very precisely and acutely but not at a great distance (like a magical jeweler's loupe, not a magical radar) and they can freely re-shape their body's material (which is pretty similar to rocks) aside from the joints and their face-guard chin-thingy-cage which is/are metal. In point of fact they're GOLD, which is important because essentially parts of their body are made out of precious metals which POWERS THE MAGICKS. These metals have not degraded because they are extra good at being subtle re: magic, which actually ties into the SIGILS and GLYPHS (they are tools to focus mentally in order to more precisely manipulate magical energies). Because they have inherent magical powers and because of their ability to sense magicks they have a large degree of insight about other entities that also do, like DRAGYNS and DEMONDS and FAEAENANARIES. They could probably have KNIFE HANDS if they wanted or just turn their fingers into claws but that's gross. They're about as durable as very durable rocks/metal and about as strong as a pretty strong human being but PUNCHES ARE NOT FOR NERDS.
In Terms of Appearance: Okay you can see the face up there, that's clear enough, except for reference that's not actually hair it is MAGICALLY SUSPENDED MISTS like their head is a dang ol' Penseive? They do it FOR THE DRAMA. Because of the aforementioned ability to sculpt they can have whatever kind of head/face they want with the only consistent feature being the metal jawline. Are you into hugs? Good because we got SIX ARMS 2 HOLD U. The limbs are ball jointed because obviously this is a weird magical sex doll some extremely ethically suspect wizard made and the overlap with the BJD community is larger than you might suspect. Their hands (and head, and potentially dick(s)) are detachable so you can high-five from ANY DISTANCE, also sex stuff. They are extremely into BROCADES and SILKS but since they don't have anything to cover up unless they want to they don't usually wear stuff that's like, a shirt, or pants. It's all decorative. For a while they were into bells, nowadays it's veils? Someday maybe a goth phase. CAPES FEATURE HEAVILY. The outer surface of their 'skin' is very slightly patterned with whorls, like a fingerprint. They are cool to the touch and smell like perfume or incense, but that's not inherent, they just made a hole in their chest and put a big pomander in it. When they choose to have a head it usually has a LARGE NUMBER OF EYES, which are black, metallic, and KINDA SPOOKY but also A LITTLE HOT. They're topping seven foot, most doors are not designed for a being of this nature. Overall they (usually) look like a REALLY GOOD STATUE. Like, Michelangelo level of artistry and honestly pretty close, in terms of appearance? Like by default there's sculpted lithe abs and shit. Sometimes he extrudes a tiny fig leaf because it's hilarious.
In Terms of History and Personality: Since they can literally see into people's memories and also display authenticity by explicitly sharing emotional states, they are actually kind of a THERAPIST but they also do consult on MAGICAL STUFF. They have a reputation for difficult cases, largely because like, Aeris is sort of a fantasy-ish place, mental health treatment is maybe not there yet, so most people consider this stuff a physical ailment or moral failing. They have a really warm mannerism, almost avuncular, but if they sense dumb bullshit for jerks they will be extremely pissed without any real change in tone or body language, which is PRETTY DISCONCERTING. They are 100% capable of hella lies but have not publicized this fact and it is a common misconception that constructs can't lie. One of their chief pleasures is making people they dislike explain their bad jokes, slowly. They are a big believer in personal agency, which makes sense as a liberated created PYGMALION-STYLE BEING. They value direct and explicit communication and think nuance is, on occasion, for squares. They're DTF but have no inherent physical drive to do so. If you are wondering do the mind powers happen while fucking OF COURSE THEY DO. YOU FOOL. They can't eat so like, one big avenue of hedonism is closed to them, but they really value sensations like smells, textures, etc., it's kind of implied that their senses are kind of aura-based? Like they extend out from their body. OMNI-SNIFFS.
Small addendum- the reason they have memory-sharing powers is because they were probably initially intended to be a library. Not a librarian, a library. They don't necessarily know this, though. Also they can't experience emotions, only physical sensations, but since that includes a lot of how people recognize emotions it's pretty close?
