Varis Hemlock

Varis is known to be on the calmer side, taking streams and collaborations at his own pace. He tends to keep things on track and prevent things from getting too off-topic, giving fans and fellow FSP members a poised and mature impression. He speaks bluntly, but not harshly (depending on who he’s talking to), making his streams personable for viewers.

Alongside that calm and collected exterior, Varis is playful and enjoys teasing people with witty remarks. Notably, he and Solan frequently banter as the “ragebaited” and “ragebaiter,” leading to a strong comedic dynamic between the two. Even though he gets ragebaited, Varis does an equal if not larger amount of ragebaiting. He often pokes fun at the Varlings and notes their reactions, sometimes mentioning said reactions on streams to further taunt them. This comes in the form of twisting words, re-contextualizing statements, and acting like he did not do the preceding on purpose.

Despite all the teasing, he constantly looks out for the well-being of his friends and fans with quick reassurances and support when issues pop up. Varis has been called the “father” of Sontaris, as he tends to be more stern in reeling things back.

He also has various life and work experiences that make him knowledgeable in a wide variety of fields. Varis gives advice when he can, and always does his best to answer when chatters ask him for input. Additionally, Varis consistently admits to his own biases and limits when giving advice, and thus encourages people to always try out new things to build their own knowledge. Due to having so much experience and also being 30, people call him “unc” or “old man” despite not being the only 30-year-old in FSP.

Varis wears a mostly dark outfit, sometimes described as "Dark Academia" in theme. This outfit consists of a maroon shirt with a silver collar chain, an Eldredge knot black tie decorated in silver, a dark grey suit jacket with matching pants, with a purple and pink lapel, embroidered with silver with a web like appearance and a black leather belt with a silver buckle. He also has a large scarf matching his suit lapel, a dark purple to almost black trench coat, with black embroidery and bronze buttons, grey fur on the lapel and a dark metal chain across the chest, attached, a large spider broach and a cross, which then trails down to his scarf to decorate it with a butterfly trapped in a web.

Varis also wears silver glasses with pink lenses, a gold watch on his left wrist, silver piercings on his left ear and a right eyebrow piercing. Has purple and yellow heterochromia eyes, grey eyebrow with slits on his left one, black and gold dress shoes and black leather gloves. He also wears two silver and purple rings on his right hand, one on his index finger and one on his middle finger. Maroon socks matching his shirt and torso tattoo.

His hair is silver, grey and purple hair with a undercut of warm grey with hints of purple. He also always looks frowning, leaning on angry, as well as eye bags.

Once upon a time, there was a boy. The earliest thing he could ever recall was lying there, hungry on the street. He had been thrown away. By whom, he could not say. The hunger tortured him, curled against the cracked sidewalk. His stomach had long since stopped growling. It only ached with hollow numbness. Something within him forced him onto his trembling legs. Was it desperation? Or perhaps it was out of spite for those who cast him out... whoever they were. One step in front of the other, the boy walked, reaching his hand out for anyone, anything that might give him a chance for survival. Just one chance.

The man looked down in disgust. How dare this street urchin touch his expensive jacket? Yet before he could give the boy a backhanded slap... "Take it." Take it all. Just please leave me alone." The rich man spoke. The boy did not understand what happened. But he did understand that where before he had nothing, he now had something.

Time passed and something of a following began gathering around him. The following became a gang, and the gang grew large. Until one day... someone took notice. "Being useful to those around you is a great thing." Ultimately, it provided the boy with the one thing he never had, family. And quickly, he discovered ways to increase his usefulness. Fear was useful, but fear was a blunt instrument. Venom, on the other hand, in the right dose, offered a far more elaborate palate. Calm. Despair. Devotion. Anger. Soon, he would be ready to destroy the only gang that stood between the family and total dominion over the city. To make the boss who took him in proud of him and make his found family rich beyond their wildest dreams. His usefulness would never be in doubt. But every act has its consequences. A few men had escaped the knight's carnage. They had come for revenge. The destruction of their rival family was meant to be a surprise for the boss. Had he known, he wouldn't have been sitting out in the open reading the morning [music] paper. Had he known...

In the old man's final moments, all he said was, "Proud of you, kid." And then the boy became the boss. Feared by all, opposed by none, he could never bring himself to see the people he had grown up with on the streets, and he kept himself distant to the rest of the mafia. The one indulgence he allowed himself was funding an orphanage. All the money and power in the world, and none of it mattered. He had been seeking the old man's approval for so long, and now there was nothing. He stood there wishing. For what, I'm not sure. Happiness, who knows? He wished and he wished. And then...
