Maltober Day 12: The King or his Cult
The shrieking crash of the elevator was loud enough to echo through the entire underground space and more than a few masked heads in the amphitheatre turned in the direction of the noise. The nervous energy of the crowd, a moment ago so full of anticipation turned slightly sour with fear.
The King was so, so close—everyone knew it—but now…
“He will not die. It is written.”
Right… yeah, surely an elevator crash wouldn’t kill the King’s—
“Should we have built a bridge? Over the… uh…” a timid voice asked, before being silenced by a withering, masked stare.

Feodore Boucher
Picrew
Occupation: Host for The Jury
Date of birth: 3. March 1732
Age: 291 (physically 25)
Principles: Heart, Moth, Grail
Status: Alive and taken
Spouse: Elios McCoy
Nationality: French
Species: Humanoid
Race: Half siren, half zmey
Residence: Wolf Hollow
A flamboyant and talkative young lad, Feodore is the soul of any event he finds himself in. His personality swings wildly from loud, sassy, and ready to throw hands, to calm, sweet, and soft. Regardless of which face he's chosen, he's always attentive and affectionate and willing to help his friends, but to most people, he's nothing more than a loud drama queen who can't go a minute without cracking a sex joke.
Feodore's cheerful disposition is in spite of all the bad things plaguing his life. Due to his less than good relationship with his family, he established contact with his Verdugo very early on.
Soon after he entered the Rift, he was chosen to serve as a host for The Jury. The Jury is the second of the three children of Shuggor that make up the Sacred Triad. Due to poor negotiation skills, the Triad was banished into Cunomin'estia and had no access to the rest of the realms. So they settled to find a host that would bear their manifestation and allow them to at least influence the Rift. In the case of The Jury, that host ended up being Feodore.
The Jury's manifestation within him presents itself as twelve personalities. Here, I'll show half of them since Tumblr only allows for 10 pictures per post. They're not meant to resemble any identity disorders - they're technically not part of Feodore, and they will alter the body's appearance to match them.
Thomas and Tomas
These twins' behavior is both identical and identically different. Their speech patterns, habits, and behavior are largely the same. They are very apathetic, showing only the bare emotional minimum that is required. Thomas and Tomas represent the pride, secrecy, and hidden hostility of the Lock principle.
Hector
Hector is friendly and curious, but also rather reserved. He tends to ask questions that most would consider invasive, but he probably doesn't mean anything by it. A surgeon by heart and allegedly by profession, Hector has a curious relationship with blood and viscera - he is simultaneously obsessed with it and repulsed by it.
Lenore
Perhaps the more murderous side of Feodore, Lenore is usually gloomy, but she finds happiness in misery - she's joyful whenever she or anyone else is unwell. As previously stated, she is very fond of murder and dismemberment and takes great joy in hurting others without their knowledge.
Balius
Balius is chaotic, whimsical, and easily distracted, but they are seemingly always where they should be. While they don't seem to resonate particularly strongly with any Moth aspect Celestial, due to their connection to a Moth's chaos, their behavior can only be described as "the things only a Balius does."
They are more comfortable at night and don't sleep anymore - they don't need to. They love dying their hair.
Soren
At first, Soren is sweet and kind, but as time goes on, their mental state gradually deteriorates. Random thoughts start slipping out of them during conversations that contradict what they've previously said. Almost half of the time, they're delusional thoughts and warped memories that don't belong to them or never happened at all.
A curious event occurs when Soren is dominant for at least six days, as they aren't stable enough to remain out for this long. The longer they linger, the more confused they become. During the sixth day, they will try to eliminate everyone around them in a fevered attempt to protect themselves.
