insert the "yes honey" meme but it's me and
ciel. also before you say anything, yes, i know they look like dimitri from fire emblem. i swear it was a coincidence and i wasn't even thinking at the time. you will need a toyhou.se account to see their profile, but i have a couple of invites if anyone would like one.
anyway, ciel has become such a massive comfort character, and i'm honestly a little embarrassed to admit, i had some extra money from my savings and splurged a lot of it on commissions of them and a few other characters. ciel is a haughty and vain person, and they're very morally grey. but for some reason, i just feel very attached to them. they're very brave too, despite their recklessness, and they're also very determined.
they lost their eye after an explosion in their laboratory (they're an alchemist). ciel's ultimate goal is to achieve immortality, and they'll go to great lengths reaching that goal. in my original novel, immortality is considered unnatural while illness and death are. when ciel lost their mother, they felt that they lost their own humanity. they sought out the best of the best doctors, healers, and priests to save their mother, but to no avail. so they took matters into their own hands at a small age: to become a god themselves.
but during their research, they became so obsessive and absorbed, that their family has not been able to contact them despite living in the same roof. ciel only comes out to eat and use the bathroom, but they never meet any guests, and they never attend any formal meetings. they're a count, but they're also a hermit.
you can read more about them
on their profile (again, you need a toyhou.se account, but feel free to ask me for an invite), and if you want i would love questions about them. and if you have a character you'd like to have a friendship with, we can always talk about it. ciel is a difficult person to befriend, and they will abandon everyone if it means advancing towards their goals. but currently, their world is in a state of corruption, so they've swallowed their pride and allied themselves with a group of soldiers called the luminaries. ciel is only aligning themselves with the group because if the goddess dies and the world evaporates from corruption, then that means ciel's immortality will not save them from the end.
i should mention: ciel's immortality does not mean they're an all-powerful, mighty god. they can feel pain, they require food and water and shelter. ciel's immortality is simply a "pause button," where they no longer physically age. they never actually thought any of the consequences of immortality through, including the fact that they can and will feel immense pain. they just cannot die unless the goddess dies.
and the goddess is slowly losing her life force.
anyway, feel free to check out their bio or ask me questions. i'd really love to infodump about them, they're a really precious character to me, and it would make me happy if i could write or roleplay as them briefly some day.
trivia
- ciel and their half-brother, edgar, are heavily inspired by the story of the gemini twins; one twin was a mortal who died, and the other was an immortal son of zeus. pollux is similar to ciel, while castor is similar to edgar.
- they were created on january 26, 2026, and their profile on toyhouse was created on july 14, 2026. their profile was completed on july 16, 2026 but i often add little extra revisions to it.
- their appearance is not based on dimitri from fire emblem, and is purely a coincidence. i do know what dimitri looks like, but at the time of ciel's designing stage, i just liked the image of a blond androgynous person with an eyepatch. they lost their eye from their own accident rather than a war.
