Vaile has an acquired distrust in humans, though he still holds a sense of wonder for the supernatural. He can be shy and guarded on meeting someone new. Even when being friendly, he'll keep his cards close to his chest. He is a puppy type person- loyal, a people pleasure, caring, kind and genuine. Because of his ongoing history of abuse, Vaile can be skittish and lash out when he feels cornered.He's reluctant to show who he really is to people, especially when it comes to his abilities. Vaile is also hesitant to volunteer to use his abilities as he's still adjusting to them and doesn't quite know what he's doing. Because of the newness of it all, Vaile also can't fully control his powers. It's one of the reasons he conceals his cloudy eye; to avoid questions and needing to come up with lies about it. He doesn't like to lie, nor is he very good at it.He's neurodivergent and has a tendency to be fragile because of years of mental and verbal abuse messing with his mind. When he does get close to someone, he has no problem being vulnerable with them. He enjoys physical contact, cuddling and spending time close to someone. And while he would never easily admit it, he adores to be doted on and treated well- years of neglect have made that a novelty to Vaile.

^{(Content warnings: Mentions of abuse, descriptions of violence, death and bodily harm.)}Or at least that's what Vaile had thought. To say his home life was turbulent would have been the understatement of the century. It was like torture. Everyday there was always something- whether it be a massive blow-up or just passive bullying. It was enough to drive any rational person to the edge. And for a gentle soul like Vaile, it was particularly debilitating.He tried to get away as often as possible. Running away as far as his legs would carry him, or when he couldn't physically get away, indulging in drink and drugs. Anything to escape, anything for just a moment of peace and a break from the pain. When it was warm enough, the beach was his favorite place to escape to.It was all to easy to sneak out while his father got drunk. His brother had long left and his sister stayed out as often as possible- feeding her own addictions. None of them cared what their father did to Vaile, the youngest. He was so easily forgotten.It might have seemed reckless to walk alone for miles to the ferry, most of the time he didn't even have the money to pay for a ticket. However he had no problem using his charms to acquire one, or just stow away for the journey. Whatever it took, because in a few hours he would find some freedom.It seemed so far away from everything he knew. Surrounded by people who could afford to travel to the island, comforted but the warm sand and endless ocean stretched out for as far as he could see. It'd take days before anyone would even know he was missing, that would be just enough time to clear his head. To deprogram himself from all the gaslighting that made him question his sanity.It would take days before they'd report him missing, and because he was a serial runner- they didn't look too hard. It was one such summer night, when he'd snuck onto the ferry to Jeju island and to his momentary freedom. It seemed like any other night, but little did he know that his entire reality was about to be shaken to it's core.Vaile saw what he thought was a beached sea creature washed up onto the shore, tangled in seaweed. It turned out to be something different entirely. A creature that seemed human-like from the waist up. Though their skin had a white, almost translucent quality to it. But with a golden undertone that seemed to sparkle just beneath. They had a long tail with scales that looked like they were actually made of gold and shimmered in the moonlight.They had long fingers with claws instead of nails and webbing between each digit. Their white hair was a voluminous mess outside the water, crusted with salt and tangled with seaweed. Their face was ethereal, eyes milky with a soft glow. There was a trail of dark, inky blood staining the sand. Though as the tide slowly came in, it began to erase all traces of it.He had no idea what to do, his first instinct was simply to rush over and see if he could help. Part of him was terrified, but he couldn't just watch them die without at least trying to... to do anything. The creature seemed too weak to do anything but lay there and wheeze for breath. Vaile gently untangled it from all the seaweed and brushed it's brittle hair away from their face.Vaile pulled off his over-shirt, balling it up into a makeshift pillow to put under the creature's head. He tried to speak to the creature, ask what he could do or how he could help- but it didn't seem to understand. It felt hopeless. Vaile tried to make them comfortable, eventually turning to song. Singing to the creature in his low, velvety voice in attempt to soothe them.The creature, a powerful sea witch known as Calypso, was moved by the display of this human. After all, it had been a mortal man who had betrayed them, the obsidian blade in their back a painful reminder of it. Yet this one was pure and vulnerable, caring for them without a second thought. They knew this human was the perfect vessel.With the last of their strength, Calypso reached up to caress Vaile's face. The touch, at first gentle, suddenly became almost painful. The human had tried to pull away in a panic, but the sea witch only lunged towards him. Even weakened, it overpowered him easily.Vaile begged and pleaded, cried out for help but none would come on the empty beach. The creature held his head still with one hand as they plucked out Vaile's right eye with the other. Despite the pain, the human went silent- only able to watch in horror as the creature swallowed his eye before reaching up to rip out their own.The human whimpered pathetically when the eyelids of his right side were pried open again, this time for the witch to press their own eye into the empty socket. Vaile only had a moment to notice that the creature now had one dark brown eye- his eye, before his entire body started convulsing.He was found on the beach that morning and rushed to the hospital. No one believed his story, but because there were no drugs in his system at the time, they decided it had been a psychotic break. They claimed Vaile's eye was a self-inflicted injury and admitted him for being a danger to himself.However, the hospital stay allowed him clarity. Allowed him to see more than just the truth of his own life but also the lives of others. Vaile was different now. He could see beyond what the average human could- he could see other's experiences, the dead and those that were on other planes of existence. Sometimes he could see things before they happened.Vaile began to develop other powers too, things he couldn't predict or control- just like his sight. He began to further distance himself from other people, worried he might accidentally hurt someone or see something he didn't want to see. There was about to be a very bumpy period of adjustment ahead of him.
