Zyrxicorian, Illithid Telepath, and his bodyguard, Number Six (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aiFTLLCYmOK--0_FfUUYBKU9bkWXor3odVn76M8Ydgw/edit?usp=sharing)<br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/d/db/Mind_flayer_by_deligaris-d4a3jqv.jpg)</div><br/><strong>Name:</strong>Zyrxicorian<br/><strong>Gender/Race/Class:</strong>Male/Illithid/Psion<br/><strong>Position at the House:</strong>Diplomatic Envoy<br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Surprisingly affable for a mindflayer, Zyrxicorian was well-chosen for the diplomatic role he now fills. Possessing keen wits and an intellect befitting an illithid, he does not mind the occasional overstepping of his diplomatic boundaries when necessary to deepen the ties between his enclave and House Auvyrahel. He does, however, have something of a sadistic streak within him, and said overstepping usually takes the form of using his formidable psionic powers in ways that often surprise those who only know his normal, friendly demeanor.<br/><strong>Posting frequency on E:</strong>Daily<br/><strong>Major three ON kinks:</strong>Mind Control, Humiliation (Public or Private), Tentacles<br/><strong>Major three OFF kinks:</strong>Bathroom stuff, Gore, Vore<br/><strong>Background:</strong>Within roughly the past century, the Illithid presence in the territory surrounding Erelhei-Cinlu, the famed city of the Drow, has decreased quite drastically. Rather than being due to an organized effort on the part of the Drow as a whole, this decrease in population was entirely due to a single determined woman's private campaign of extermination against them. Matron Mother Arissa Auvyrahel, of House Auvyrahel, led an army of those with grudges and vendettas against the Mindflayer menace when the Priestess Wars were at their height, and enclave after enclave, Elder Brain after Elder Brain, were felled by the combination of psychic and divine might, as well as her leadership and tactical acumen.<br/><br/>Of course, even with these advantages, some enclaves would have escaped her wrath. Illithid communities too well-hidden, tucked away in areas shielded to divination or even hidden in naturally-occurring demiplanes, would normally have survived and begun to slowly expand their influence again, once her attention was drawn back to the city. Would have survived, if one of the more exposed enclaves hadn't employed a far more radical strategy: Surrender. No, not merely surrender; collaboration. Arissa Auvyrahel gained an entire cabal of Mindflayers at her beck and call, partway through her campaign, and with the collected knowledge of that enclave's Elder Brain at her disposal, her army was able to root out and destroy every last Illithid community that had dared to establish itself within Erelhei-Cinlu's territory. It was a gambit on the part of that lone surviving, traitorous enclave, and it paid off. When Arissa Auvyrahel returned to the city and claimed leadership over her house, Mindflayers of the Cultivation Enclave were among those who were at her side.<br/><br/>Zyrxicorian is a diplomatic envoy of the Cultivation Enclave, the latest in a currently rather short line of Illithids with some talent for diplomacy, sent to act as a liaison between his enclave and its Elder Brain, and the Matron of House Auvyrahel. While officially acting as a mere diplomat and point of contact, unofficially, Zyrxicorian has been instructed to put his full telepathic talents to use for the benefit of House Auvyrahel, as part of the opening stages of a long-term plan by the Cultivation Enclave's Elder Brain to more fully take control over the house. The next stage of this long-term plan will not even begin to take shape during the lifespan of either Matron Arissa or her immediate successor, and so Zyrxicorian needs only to focus on one immediate goal: make the Cultivation Enclave an indispensable ally to the Drow of House Auvyrahel, so that the Mindflayers will be poised to take advantage when they one day grow complacent in this alliance.<br/><br/>As part of his standard operating procedure, Zyrxicorian has used his psionic talents as a Thrallherd to subvert a number of Erelhei-Cinlu's residents into becoming his devout followers, and uses these followers as his eyes and ears throughout the City of the Drow, a widespread spy network for him to draw information from.<br/><br/><div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/5/5d/Monster_Girl_Encyclopedia_Mind_Flayer.jpg)</div>The Cultivation Enclave itself is named after the guiding philosophy that its Elder Brain follows, a rational philosophy that views that 'lesser' non-Illithid races as possessing an innate potential that can be harnessed for the benefit of the Illithid race if properly nurtured and cultivated. To this end, the enclave collects and studies specimens of many different races, and runs genetic and crossbreeding experiments that many other Illithids would find debased and degrading in nature. Perhaps the greatest embodiment of these experiments is Number Six, a product of the Cultivation Enclave's breeding programs sent alongside Zyrxicorian to act as his bodyguard and covert agent. Blending human and doppelganger stock with a contribution of Illithid DNA from Zyrxicorian himself, Number Six is able to use her psionic talents to both change shape and bend the minds of others to her will, and careful training and psionic conditioning have made her both a deadly fighter and the ideal go-between for her Illithid master and the network of psionically-subverted spies that he has spread throughout the City of the Drow.<br/><br/><strong>Name:</strong>Number Six<br/><strong>Gender/Race/Class:</strong>Female (Probably)/Changeling (Maybe?)/Flayerspawn Psychic<br/><strong>Position at the House:</strong>Bodyguard and Spy<br/><strong>Personality:</strong>A serious and professional operator when 'on the job', Number Six's mind has been carefully molded and shaped so that she regards herself as little more than a tool for her master's personal use. All the same, even tools can have hobbies and lead rich personal lives, and Number Six herself takes great joy in putting her training to use in her personal life, changing shape and bending minds in order to live her own life to the fullest. Of course, having been twisted by Illithids, her own definition of 'living life to the fullest' can be a bit twisted as well...
