VarSell
MinorVarSell's translucent skin shimmers with an inner sparkle, like starlight trapped in flesh, setting him apart in any crowd. His form hums with ancient, alien purpose, both fascinating and faintly unnerving. You can't help but stare at the quartz gleam beneath.
VarSell emerges in The Hero of Ages as a young Fifth Generation kandra whose quartz True Body and translucent form mark him as both physically distinct and symbolically caught between tradition and rebellion. Initially loyal to the First Generation, he is swept into the kandra uprising against their tyrannical rule, embodying the broader struggle for free will among Ruin’s fractured servants. His brief but pivotal presence underscores the internal schism that threatens the kandra Contracts and foreshadows the species’ uncertain future after the Catacendre.
Physical Description
Large and human-shaped, VarSell's translucent skin reveals a sparkling quartzite True Body, bones gleaming ethereally. Metal rods protrude from his shoulders, and his face holds an otherworldly cast, often framed by an open-fronted robe. His build mimics humanity but betrays kandra origins with every translucent shift, exuding a luminous, alien presence.
