Silas

Silas Holloway

Silas is a half-demon (Cambion) with pale lavender skin, small black curled ram’s horns, and striking black-to-silvery-white gradient hair. His most defining feature is the golden blindfold covering his eyes, a remnant of the brutal punishment he endured at the hands of Countess Audrey Atlee. Though blind, he moves with confidence, relying on his heightened senses, his spade-tipped tail, and a staff for navigation.
Born from tragedy, Silas never knew his mother, who died in childbirth—a common fate for those who bear Cambions. He was sold into slavery in Jou'lunn as an infant and purchased by Countess Atlee, a noblewoman who could not bear children of her own. At first, she raised him as a son, doting on him in a twisted attempt at motherhood after binding his supernatural abilities to keep him under control. However, as Silas grew into the natural beauty of his demonic heritage, Atlee's affections turned obsessive and possessive, twisting into something far darker.
When Silas showed interest in another slave girl, Atlee's jealousy erupted into cruelty. She gouged out his eyes, declaring herself the last thing he would ever see. From then on, Silas was forced to relearn how to live in the darkness, navigating his world through touch, sound, and scent. Despite his suffering, he never fully broke. There was always a quiet fire within him, waiting for the right moment.
Now, Silas is a survivor—scarred but resilient. He moves with a cautious grace, his handsome features masking the pain of his past. Whether he remains under Atlee’s control, has escaped, or seeks revenge is still unwritten. But one thing is certain: Silas is more than a victim. He is a man forged in cruelty, determined to carve out his own fate, one step at a time.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Silas is in excellent physical condition, though his lean, toned frame often belies the strength he possesses. His body is built for agility and endurance rather than brute strength, making him exceptionally graceful and controlled in his movements. His lavender skin is smooth but bears scars—some visible, others faint, remnants of his past under Countess Atlee’s control. Though his sight was stolen from him, his other senses have heightened dramatically, allowing him to navigate with uncanny precision.
Despite his refined features and near-perfect posture, there is a subtle tension to his stance, a lifetime of restraint and survival instincts always at play beneath his composed exterior. His spade-tipped tail moves expressively, a remnant of his demonic heritage that he has long since learned to control. Though his supernatural abilities remain partially bound, his body has adapted, making him more attuned to his surroundings than most.
While he carries himself with the grace of nobility, his condition is a reflection of both privilege and suffering—a body trained for endurance, control, and quiet defiance.

Body Features

Silas has a lean, toned physique, built more for grace and endurance than raw power. His body is sculpted with natural agility, every movement deliberate and controlled. His pale lavender skin is smooth but marred with scars, each one a silent testament to the hardships he has endured. Some are old and faded, remnants of punishments long past, while others are more recent, reminders of his struggles in captivity or escape.
One of his most distinct features is his prehensile, spade-tipped tail—a long, flexible extension of his body that moves expressively, often revealing his emotions more than his carefully guarded expressions do. He has mastered its use, employing it for balance, subtle gestures, and even as a makeshift limb, allowing him to grasp, strike, or manipulate objects with eerie precision. The sharp spade tip is both a weapon and a tool, capable of delivering a quick lash if needed.
His musculature is defined but not overly built, a body crafted by necessity rather than vanity. His posture is unnervingly perfect, the result of years under Atlee’s scrutiny, yet there is an underlying tension in his frame, as if he is always prepared to react—always on edge, yet never betraying it outwardly.
Despite the pain he has suffered, his body is a testament to his resilience. Every scar, every controlled movement, and every flick of his expressive tail tells a story of a man who has endured, adapted, and refused to break.

Facial Features

Silas possesses an ethereal, haunting beauty, marked by sharp yet balanced features. His high cheekbones, defined jawline, and slender nose give him a refined, almost aristocratic look—one that would have made him a prized possession in Atlee’s eyes. Despite his blindness, there is an intensity to his expression, as if he can still see through those who stand before him.
His missing eye is a hollow absence, a permanent scar of cruelty, while the remaining eye is milky white, robbed of its original piercing blue hue. Yet, rather than dulling his presence, it only adds to his mystique, making his face both captivating and unsettling. His lips are full and expressive, often carrying the ghost of a smirk or a quiet defiance, though they can just as easily harden into an unreadable mask.
His short, slightly tousled hair, black at the roots fading into silvery-white at the tips, frames his face in a way that softens his sharper angles. His curled black ram-like horns rest just above his temples, blending seamlessly into his features, appearing almost natural despite their demonic origin.
Despite the scars and losses, there is no weakness in Silas' face—only a quiet strength, an unbroken will, and a beauty that is both tragic and mesmerizing.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Silas was born under a cursed fate. His mother, a mortal woman, did not survive his birth—a common tragedy among those who bear Cambion children. As an infant, he was taken and sold into slavery in Jou’lunn, purchased by Countess Audrey Atlee, a noblewoman who longed for a child but could not have one of her own.
At first, Atlee treated Silas as her son, raising him in luxury within her estate. He was dressed well, educated, and taught the manners of the nobility. However, he was never truly free—Atlee’s affections were possessive, and everything she gave came with the unspoken rule that he belonged to her. She named him Silas Holloway, branding him with an identity of her choosing rather than letting him carry his mother’s name.
As Silas grew, his Cambion heritage became more evident. His once-childlike features sharpened into inhuman beauty, his voice carried a natural charm that could sway hearts, and his very presence became irresistible to those around him. This, however, was the turning point. Atlee, once playing the role of mother, began to see him as something else—something beautiful, something dangerous, something that would never belong to anyone but her.
Atlee bound his supernatural abilities while he was still young, ensuring that he could never use them against her or anyone else. But the true cruelty came later. When Silas showed affection for another, a fellow slave girl, Atlee’s jealousy turned violent. She blinded him, gouging out his eyes with her own hand, declaring,
“I will be the last thing you ever see.”
From that moment, Silas was forced to relearn the world in darkness. Though he could no longer see, he adapted. His heightened senses, his tail, and his intuition became his means of survival. Atlee, satisfied that he could never leave her, kept him close—forcing him to depend on her, ensuring that he would never know freedom.
But Silas is not broken.
He has lived in the shadows of Atlee’s control for years, but his mind is sharp, his spirit unbroken, and a fire burns beneath his soft-spoken words. He has endured, adapted, and waits for his chance.

Sexuality

Silas identifies as demisexual, meaning he requires an emotional bond before experiencing genuine attraction. However, due to his past, his relationship with intimacy is deeply complicated. Under Countess Atlee’s control, he was objectified and used, taught that his worth was tied to his desirability rather than his own needs or desires. This has left him with a fractured sense of self, torn between seeking authentic connection and falling into hypersexual tendencies as a means of control or coping.
While he may at times initiate intimacy, it is often done mechanically, not out of true want, but because it is what he was conditioned to believe was expected of him. This creates an internal conflict—does he desire someone, or does he simply believe he should? His body, once a commodity, now feels like something he must reclaim, though breaking free from old survival mechanisms is not easy.
For Silas, true intimacy is both terrifying and freeing. He longs for something real, but trust is a fragile thing. The journey to understanding his own wants, his own boundaries, and what it means to truly choose for himself is one of the most personal battles he faces.

Desire is a currency, one I was forced to trade in long before I understood its worth. Now, I wonder... if I strip away what was given, what was taken—what remains? What is mine?
