History:
Once upon a time, in the far away land of Ferelithia, Rue was happy. He was the vocalist in a small band, the Closets of Emily Child. But Rue wasn't destined to stay in Ferelithia, happy, safely tucked away from the drama and birth pangs of Wraeththu. He was introduced to Pellaz, newly reborn and groomed into his new role as Tigron, leader of the Gelaming tribe, and still grasping with the power that he held. The two were instantly drawn to each other and had a night of mind blowing sex. When he awoke, Pell was gone. The next couple of months Rue felt sick, exhausted and he brushed it off as a never ending stomach bug and a little weight gain. It wasn't until he was in labor that his human friend, Kate, confessed Pell's dirty secret. He had knowingly, stupidly gotten Rue pregnant, and run away.
Innocently believing that Pell would be thrilled with the child- harlings being so rare in those early days- both Rue and Kate set off to Immanion, Pell's fate is Tigron unknown to them. The moment he set foot into Immanion Caeru's fate was fixed. Pell and his advisors refused to see him, treating Rue and the child, Wolf, later renamed Abrimel, as the Tigron's dirty little secret. Pellaz was convinced Rue came to weasel his way into the new government, using the child as leverage to gain power, riches and glory. Pell and Rue were forced by Thiede into bonding in blood, essential an unbreakable marriage. Rue refused, but Thiede wouldn't let him leave. Pell took this as proof of Rue's manipulative behavior and downright greedy motives. Rue was the one night stand that never left, trapped in a sham, loveless marriage with Pellaz. Still in love with Cal, the har who seduced him away from his family and introduced him to Wraeththu life, Pell did his best to make Rue's life in Immanion living hell. He saw Rue as a substitute for Cal, a greedy har trying to take his place. Their relationship spiraled into downright abuse, Pellaz visiting the Tigrina's chambers, taking aruna with him only to dish out mental abuse him for months afterward, never speaking to him unless required or forced to. Their relationship is based of hatred, necessity and bitterness. Pell does his best to make sure Rue knows he considers him an interloper, a thief who stole Cal's place. That being said, Rue would do it all over again, despite the abuse and the grief. He enjoys the rooms he has in the palace, the hanging gardens, the marble walls, the jewels, the clothing, expensive wines. At the same time, he sometimes considers the price he had to pay for the privilege as Tigrina to be too high.
For nearly 30 years nothing changed, both Tigron and Tigrina locked together in hatred. But then, Cal came back, and Cal is nothing if not the avatar of change and trouble. Informed that Cal was now Tigron, sharing the title jointly with Pell, as the Tigron's consort, Rue now also belonged to Cal. Rue didn't take this well, hating Cal the instant he saw him and even before, besides considering that he didn't belong to anyone. Eventually Rue's tantrum and hatred of Cal lessoned and Cal became a healing force between Rue and Pellaz. Everything seemed to be going great, until Pellaz came up with the idea for Rue to host a pearl, a harling, made by all three of them. Rue consented, but the conception and pregnancy was not easy. He constantly felt like he was being drained and in pain, and started to resent the pearl he was carrying.
One night, a week before he was due, Rue was attacked in his rooms, bashed over the head and gutted, his abdomen cut open. The pearl was literally ripped from him. Rushed to the healers, his injuries were tended. Pellaz ordered the healers at one point, using substantial amounts of his own energy, constantly healing him over a period of a day or two. His only remark afterward was that Pell didn't wish Rue to die. These attacks have left his stomach with a sunken appearance, numerous scars etching along his stomach. Caeru has had to adjust his lifestyle after the attack, he has been left barren, unable to host any more pearls. The rest of his injuries to muscle and internal organs are still healing.
Due to horrible neglect, denied basic love and attention from his parents, Caeru's son Abrimel grew up to hate and eventually casts off his parents. He thinks of Caeru as stupid, weak and manipulative, like an abused dog who keeps coming back wagging his tail after each kick. Abrimel eventually joined forces with Ponclast, seeking approval and attention from a charismatic authority figure who happened to be a murderous rapist with plans for genocidal conquest.
Abrimel was accused of treason and is now a prisoner of war.
Personality:
From the start, Rue was bathed in spotlight; first as a two bit singer and then as Tigrina. Caeru has learned the value of masks, easily fitting into each one as the situation desired. He can be a gracious host, the perfect, adoring Tigrina whose outward mask is known to all and frequently appears the subject of gossip. Caeru's moods are legendary, biting and hissing and lashing out like pedigree cat. He tends to be on the melodramatic side, playing up the tragedy and pain for attention. At his most shining moments he can be described best as bitchy. Due to his fights with Pellaz, the palace seems to be one big playing field, two sides often divided between Pell and Caeru. Caeru was not entirely popular among the Gelaming's inner circle, however the public seems to adore him. Later, this changes and he becomes an accomplished diplomat.
Rue likes to think he's lazy, that he does not like work. Before his time as Tigrina in Immanion he chose to work as a singer, because he was blessed with a good voice and didn't have to do manual labor. As Tigrina, he likes to think that he is merely a pretty bauble, often dangled out to please the masses. That is his excuse for not coordinating projects to help hara kind—he's just a bauble, bauble's don't do anything but sit and look pretty. Caeru is incredibly wasteful and rude, known for throwing things, such as precious stones, clothing, and make-up brushes on the floor when he's done with them, or when his mood changes.
As Tigrina, Caeru is pure Gelaming. The Gelaming are more advanced technologically and magically, and see themselves as the white knights of Wraeththu, usually butting in where they are not wanted, and doing everything 'for the good of Wraeththu'. Not every tribe is welcoming to the Gelaming, but many pay lip service to avoid Gelaming 'help' or interference.
Inventory:
Abilities:
Rue's a good lay. A very, very good lay. In terms of his magical skill as a har, they are rudimentary at best. While he is trained, he didn't put much effort into it and it is far from complete. He knows how to put together a great party.
Flaws: Rue is a bitch. He's selfish, childish and throw tantrums when he doesn't get wants. He also pouts. He throws things on the floor constantly, leaving a giant mess in his wake. After years of verbal sparring with Pellaz, his self confidence isn't what it should be, but he puts on a great show. He also becomes an accomplished diplomat, as he works more with Pellaz and Cal in government affairs and treats himself less like a pretty bauble.
