during his time with the inquisition, walkelin was given anaphrodisiacs. this chemical castration served two purposes : one, torture and two, longterm punishment for his blasphemy. the alchemy had effects on his body that he has only partially undone and can mitigate situationally.

walkelin sleeps light. years in his line of work have put him on the razors edge of sleep, save for when he is in his sanctum. that being said, he likes the idea of total surrender. to be wanted so totally there is no boundary of consciousness β that is a sort of embodiment he craves

in his youth, walkelin looked to manuscripts that explored the sacred mysteries : psalms of pain, pleasure, and accompanying illuminations gave him ideas about mortifying the flesh. in the abbey annals, he found the original scriptures about sexual encounter as sineating.

walkelin has never known true solitude. from the time he was born, he was raised as a servant. in the abbey, he was a chaplain and chirugeon. as his desire to unmask and ease the burden of men grew, he became a courtesan : and that required he be the master of the court.

after his holding, torture, and release by inquisitors and the time of precarious recovery after, he ventured to the lowest point of kingdom's vale to the border with mordene : the accursed wood. he spent time amongst the whispering trees, foraging for fruit and apothecary plants.

his usual scent is a skin musk with notes of almond, extinguished candle smoke, and cherrywine. it's sweet with depth, usually bound to his skin with his use of lanolin and honey ampoules in his skin and bodycare routines. sometimes a note of sunsoaked hay sneaks in.

per the souffrant tradition, indulgences were rewards for faith and observance. the souffrant spirits were often underfed, kept to a strict diet that involved no suffering of animals, dressed modest. at the end of the month their absolved sins were weighed by blood, and only then

verrot finishes like a movement, the finale. he is not overtly loud, but his pleasure is known in the way he grips, latches, and forces a lover's focus to his finish. heavy breathing, a drawn out sound for the duration, a rumbling hum to close. he's everywhere, at once.

The letter crisped in his hand as he milked the paper for whatever scent its sender left behind.
"By now you will have known the madness of my absence," the words condemned. Rubbing perfumed fingers over parted lips, he took a lungful of man and accepted the charge.

Heiress Amorant sat on the edge of her bed and felt as the weight of her henin was lifted by servant's hands. With it went the pretense of the day's deliberations. A weak sigh expelled the lingering memory of her daughters voices bickering over will and testament.

most believe walkelin to live in the home adjoined to his apothecary, and they would not be entirely incorrect. there, he keeps a bed and all the furnishings for short stays and a rendezvous. but in truth his home lies in the abandoned abbey where he was raised β concealed.

the souffrant order observed a restrictive diet. meat and animal byproducts, namely milk, were seen as indulgent and pollutant to the act of sineating. consuming flesh, engaging in the harm of animals, interrupted the process of transferring manβs indulgences onto the spirits.

#verrotlore, #walkelinlore
verrot derives sexual gratification from his own status as an extension of his pride. it was hard won, and the way he covets and eroticizes his objects (jewelry, instruments, etc.) as literal fetishes (in the ritual, spiritual sense) hints at this autoerotic fascination

walkelin only partakes of alchemical reagents he has made himself, made from plants he has grown himself. despite his ailments, he has never once taken mind-altering substances to alleviate pain or induce divine visions : instead, he reserves drugs relating to immobility to play.

#walkelinlore ramblings. as the open pit clay-mining of kaolin-like materials becomes more and more rare and geopolitically terse, walkelin covets his porcelain dolls and figurines. he especially favors his "pΓ©chΓ©s" ; porcelain figures depicting characters living immodest, pleasure-drenched lives.

if we're talking xiv-exclusive worldbuilding, I want to dig into walkelin's lineage specifically. centuries prior, the progenitor of the house drove her lance into a wyvern's belly ; when it took flight, she held fast. it carried her across the deep and crashed in a new world.

the souffrant sect of halonicism was one of sanctified sadomasochism, where the "spirits" were reared as unparalleled chirurgeons and sineaters. the girls (and walkelin) of the abbey were living idols that a restless populace could project their pain, failure, and woe on.

similar to verrot, walkelin occupies a third-sexed category as a gay man, so he would use the appropriate word to describe himself in-verse. in the social hierarchy, he is seen similarly to a eunuch. he would describe himself as "fit for man's hand" in both gender and desire.

walkelin is used to his "nos" being grounds for debate or erasure ; now his "no" is crafted and delivered so that its violation is pleasurable. there is a lot to learn about those who cannot listen to directions, and as rare as he is to dispense them, he finds joy in taking note.

walkelin tends to steer clear of drinking, especially in public. and inebriation is usually reserved for more "controlled" environments (play) ; but he has a guilty pleasure dish for coming out of a high, and that's okeanis tail. not deep-fried, just chilled and raw. it's sweet.

as apart of of the rigorous demands of souffrant halonicism, walkelin (as well as his sister-spirits) were demanded to be skilled singers. he had a singing voice comparable to elΔ«na garanΔa until his throat was slit, consigning him to whispers.

small guilty pleasures include chocolate confections, in part due to his excommunication from house valentione. he finds a bit of transgression in nibbling a bonbon, especially if it's made by a rival chocolatier. otherwise, when men slip and call him by their wives or mothers names.

on a personal level, he finds it deeply unsatisfying to outright boring. but in the greater scheme of suffering as sacred practice, he understands that torturous feeling of pleasure being withheld, or left unsatisfied, is in itself a type of suffering. he contextualizes it that way.

walkelin has an echo-like ability to access the past (every past he has lived and the information he collected during it) but it is only activated by extreme degrees of pain. even then, the times he has accessed it, he has not been able to parse that those memories belong to him.
