Crepul Tribe (He/Him)

Personality

A gentle, engaged, and kind-hearted pacifist. Because of his thoughtful nature, he is cautious when it comes to carrying out his plans and strategies, but he never misses a perfect chance to make his move. He is educated but not patronizing, idealistic but not militant, weak but not dependent on violence. A perfect prince of light, as if he were a character straight from a fairytale. He's smart, takes initiative, he sympathizes with the feelings of others, and he supports everyone from the shadows, He has an innocent smile, and he sometimes makes this indescribable lonely expression...He is also a liar. There isn't a single thing that he says that is true. It also gives him a very negative and cynical view about other Pokemon, seeing through the masks they may wear.

Since everything he says and does is a lie, there is no need for him to tell the truth. He says his purpose in life is to watch people fall to ruins, but there is no way to tell whether he is speaking the truth or not. The reason why he looks down on others and causes misfortune isn't because he loves only himself and wants only himself to be happy. It is because he thinks everyone is simply disgusting. He has no love for others, nor for himself as well.

His public persona is entirely an act, but Oberon's lies are so perfect that it is hard to tell truth from fiction. If he is so inclined, he can live like that and have that be his "true persona." Oberon is not completely incapable of finding happiness in things, or perhaps in others. But they are far and few, especially since he also lies to himself. Should his lies be uncovered, he becomes more caustic and abrasive, snarky and derogatory, but also more relaxed as if a burden has been lifted from his shoulders. Paradoxically, it would be easier to gain his respect while he's like this.His one true weakness is his deep love for stories, especially those with tragic heroes. He enjoys seeing them struggle against their inevitable fate, saying 'You can't help but root for them, even if they're gonna fail in the end.' As such, if he sees anyone who fits such criteria, he can't help but assist them from the shadows, even though he may have to turn on them later. He holds great respect for anyone who could stay true to themselves and 'defy fate'.

Backstory

Oberon was abandoned and treated as filth in his childhood, having learned early on to only rely on himself and the knowledge that he could gain with his own claws. He rose out of the gutter on a foundation of lies, even giving himself a false name, 'Faerie King', which would soon become his pseudonym as an author. He lied, cheated, stole, manipulated, and backstabbed his way to a huge fortune, becoming very connected with the criminal underworld of Galar.

He also found himself helping out a Cinderace named Aesc, an up-and-coming in the Galar Police force, someone he had pegged as a tragic heroine due to the circumstances of her life. This would eventually lead to his downfall, as his biggest scheme (and most destructive) in Galar was foiled by Aesc. 

After having a heart to heart post-beatdown, Oberon moved to open a bookshop, as well as write his own fictional novels under his pseudonym. Aesc would visit him from time to time, making sure he had company and wasn't backsliding into any particular illegal habits.
