Dictator Tom Fowlri
Founder of the once terrible
Parapoptsi, this bird-like creature was one of the Flying Flux's most intimidating intellects.
Physical Description
Even when he was older, Tom was extremely quick and struck with carefully measured attacks. Naturally, the bird-creature's weight allowed him to fly and move silently whenever he chose, which made for several wraith-like horror stories. Many of them were true.
Tom Fowlrie is an incredibly talented
mage with a particular gift for developing war magic. His brilliance has often been an inspiration to modern mages despite the horrors which accompany them, though Dictator Fowlrie is hardly the
most talented
experimental magician to walk the Flying Flux.
He wore a
gold-embroidered cloak that was otherwise darker than
Outland nights. Not that Outland
nights were any different from Outland
days. Most of Flux doesn't actually have a night and day system, but poetic licensing allows for some flexibility.
Mental characteristics
Born less than a century after Chazos left Flux, Tom was instantly drawn to the brief histories and limited knowledge available to him. His parents (a duck-walrus father and weasel-toad mother) were devout members of the Chazra like most others, which piqued his religious interest at the youthful age of twelve.
Year after year of studying the concepts of magic and possibilities offered through the Law of Perception, Tom became one of the first mages ever to exist. Unfortunately, he was never awarded the title because most of his knowledge was kept secret from the world. It wasn't long before the young Fluxer would use this innate brilliance to manipulate those around him, testing his abilities and diluting their reality with false beliefs. His success allowed for a rapid ascension in the Chazra ranks, though he was deemed unfit for the title of Supra.
Enraged, Tom immediately began to seed doubt in the minds of persuadable members about the current Supra's abilities and intentions. The church split in 322 InE, giving birth to the Parapoptsi. For thousands of years, he would be known as Dictator Fowlri, relinquishing the title to be succeeded by none other than Beleford Beguile himself; the last curse he would loose upon Flux.
Tom Fowlri is a male, both physiologically and in socially.
His attraction was to asexual beings, since he technically couldn't have them. This made for some particularly awkward scandals.
His education was primarily given to him by the Chazra during his years as a member. However, the largest portion of his knowledge was gained through personal experimentation, since the world was still barely in its infantile stages of life.
During his three millennia on Flux, Tom Fowlri managed to integrate himself into nearly every major organization until the power he wielded (and passed on) was greater than any other. The Parapoptsi thrive despite their incompetent new dictator, which goes to show how impressively well-built it had to have been.
Psychopathy is the greatest mental affliction. His brilliance was untamed by morality or care for the well-being of others, leading him to successfully pursue selfish practices and thought processes.
Tom Fowlri pursued a logical philosophy, essentially founding the surge of existential and nihilistic
philosophers. He found no pleasure in nostalgia and was a fairly attractive mind for just about any intellectual with distaste for convention or tradition.
Its not really a taboo, but if someone was to become emotional around him, they would instantly become a tool for him to use. He was most afraid of other logicians since they might see through him, which is why the Parapoptsi is primarily enforced by morons and beings who rely on emotion to make decisions.
