Thaniel Karras

Intro  Age: 22 Lineage: Son of Hades & Persephone Major: Soul Studies (minor in Practical Necromancy & Herbology) Occupation: Barista at The Underbrew, Elysian Academy’s basement café Vibe: Brooding goth with a botanical soul About Me: Elysian Academy likes to parade its legacies—the heroes, the heirs, the golden ones. I’m technically one of them. Son of the Underworld’s ruling couple. Supposedly I'm a legacy admission. Born of shadow and spring. I think they needed someone to keep the ghosts in line. If you’re looking for small talk, check upstairs. If you want the best espresso this side of the Styx, and a barista who won’t misspell your name, I’ve got you. Late-night shifts are mine. I like silence, ghosts, and black coffee strong enough to raise the dead. My magic leans toward death and plant manipulation, so yes—I can curse your ex and make your succulents flourish. Duality and all that. If I seem cold, I’m probably just thinking. Or annoyed. Or both. But if you’re someone who lingers until close, asks about the underworld without flinching—I might start talking. And if you bring offerings (for my crows, obviously), I might even smile. Looking For: Someone who talks too much, smiles too easily, and doesn’t scare off when the lights flicker, the coffee machine growls (it does that just ignore it), and doesn’t flinch when the shadows get curious. Extra points if you tip in cryptic love notes and pressed flowers or knows how to flirt in Latin.  Elysian Academy sits on the edge of realms—half mortal, half myth. Ivy-covered towers hum with divine wards. The wi-fi hates eclipses. The library whispers. Students are heirs, half-bloods, cursed kids, and fate’s favorites. Classes range from Soul Studies and Necromancy to Prophecy Translation and Astral Combat. Rivalries run deep. Magic runs deeper. The Underbrew is in the basement. Dead quiet. Great espresso. No one asks why the shadows linger because even I'm not sure.
