Description

:iconcircus-blackmere:





NOTE: This character is not a reflection of myself or actions I condone. I am fully aware that Luda is an abusive, manipulative and incredibly toxic individual. Despite being abused himself and having his own set of problems, he is supposed to be seen as an abuser himself and his actions are not meant to be excused, romanticized or sympathized with. 




"Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me." 

(John 14:1)





Real Name: Luda Dvulikov
Pronunciation: Zhu-dah Duh-voo-lee-kohv
Nicknames: Father , Fr. Luda / Dvulikov , Dr.Dvulikov, The Dogtor, Mutt, Dr.Feel-Good [ By Vivien ] 
Age: [Physical] 56 y/o | [ Years Since Joined ] 49 yrs | [Total] 105 y/o
Gender: Male | Genderfluid | He/Him Pronouns
Sexual Orientation: Grey-romantic Pansexual

Department: Staff [ Current ] | Freakshow [ Formally ]
Act: Therapist
  • In charge of helping people heal, cope and manage being in the circus as well as keeping them complacent. Luda helps those with uncooperative attitudes and over-stressed, grieving minds though his door is open to anyone and everyone. He works closely with the dark tents and keeps a record of those who are 'at risk' of attempting escape or bad behaviour. 




"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

(Isaiah 4 :10)






Abilities: Focused Heavily on Control and 'Mock-Healing'
- Ability One: False Prophet
  • You Believe all the He says. His word is truth. Luda has gained a knack for being quite the manipulator - this ability allows him to gain your ultimate trust for just a moment in time. Anything he says to you becomes absolute truth. Such as: The circus is here to help you! And That you enjoy being a freak! To you? This will become truth - but only for so long. Overuse of this causes confusion in both parties. Luda has the draw back of even convincing himself of falsities. This ability is activated by listening to his voice and can be avoided by blocking it out by something louder than him or walking away. Those with stronger wills are also less affected. 

    - Duration: Five [ 5 ] x Day | 10 Minutes Each
    - Cooldown: 1 Hour Each Use 
- Ability Two: The Angel, Lucifer
  • Do not fear. Do Not hide. Tell him your worries. He is here to help. You find it difficult to lie to Luda, his warm hand upon yours urges you to speak when he asks for answers. You seem to be unable to stop the flow of information that he yearns from you and it feels draining and exhausting. An excellent way to find out if you're planning to escape or are aiding someone in doing so...or if you've been a naughty troupe member. However, the longer Luda uses this ability - the more fatigued he becomes as well. He may only use his left hand for this ability. 

    - Duration: Three [ 3 ] x Day | 30 Minutes Each
    - Cooldown: 2 Hours Each Use
- Ability Three: The Messiah
  • He is your Shepard, your Saviour. Your Healer. Luda can now make it seem like your worries and woes dissipate - he can take on your emotional tolls and make you feel as fresh as sunshine! Or so you think! It feels like he has the right answer to everything...but does he? You can't help but also feel a little empty after talking to Luda when he uses this ability...and he himself? Feels agitated and antsy, as if he's pent up a week's worth of energy. Discomfort in holding all of your client's emotions is just one way of putting it. Once the time is up, the person's feelings will quickly return in a hard rush, which can ultimately be disorienting. He must use both hands at once to perform this ability.

    - Duration: One [ 1 ] x Day | 1 Hour
    - Cooldown: 12 Hours 
- Ability Four: Gates of Heaven
  • He brings you the light, all that you see beyond the horizon belongs to you. But what if beyond the horizon is You? By using his right hand, Luda can make you see all that you must see - all that is repressed will come to you...all the joy and happiness, realization and epiphany will flow into your body. This ability causes the victim in question to be overcome with so much emotion that it brings about a short burst of absolute hysteria - to the point of immobilization and tears. Luda cannot choose however what memories are brought up - though it would only be a few memories and not literally all of them. You may be able to escape this by moving your hand from his. The draw back is similar with exhaustion and even being able to feel inklings of the same emotions. 

    - Duration: Two [ 2 ] x Week | 20 Minutes
    - Cooldown: 24 Hours 

  • Passive: Gates of Heaven now has a chance of causing Hallucinations and Psychosis. Often these will be biblical in nature - mimicking demons and angels. They last for as long as Gates of Heaven does
- Ability Five: An Eye for an Eye
  • And a Tooth for a Tooth. Sometimes the only help you can receive is through punishment, within yourself and the one who holds you. This ability allows Luda to inflict damage onto you by inflicting it onto himself. He gets a paper cut? You get a paper cut. He stabs himself? You get a stab too. The same amount of pain will be shared between you both - the question is, how long can you hold out against Luda...and how long can he hold out for? If either one dies, they take the other with them. The way this ability is performed is by forming a blood bond similar to that of becoming blood siblings, by letting eachother's blood mix in any manner possible. To negate this effect before the duration is up is to wash the wound out - either with water or your own saliva. 

    - Duration: Two [ 2 ] x 2 Weeks | 15 Minutes
    - Cooldown: 3 Days 

  • Passive: An Eye for an Eye now deals 2x the damage to the victim without Luda having to inflict more on himself. You now feel 2x the pain for that duration! He gets a papercut? You get a gash. 





Personality

+ Friendly | Warm | Diplomatic | Charismatic | Tenacious + 

= Assertive | Dreamy | Religious | Outspoken  = 

- Secretive | Decadent | Machiavellian | Opportunistic | Unyielding  - 

Luda comes off as a ray of sunshine to anyone who meets him, his smile kind and gentle - his hands so easily seem to fit around yours when he holds them. He makes people feel like they matter, like they are heard - the perfect priestly figure. His tone is mellow, each action and word is inviting - his aura is one that envelopes and embraces you like an old friend or a lover. Perfect, Unmarred and Angelic is the best way to describe the Therapist. 

Of course, that's not to say he doesn't come off as suspicious. The real nature behind that sunny grin is nothing but darkness, woven in apathy and an egocentric attitude. Truly, Luda doesn't care for much - not unless it benefits him or makes him feel good. He is anything but pious and his good nature is as false as fool's gold as he'd prefer to indulge in whatever he desires. His life is a job and he'd be damned if he didn't do it well. He adapts, he thrives, and he moves along to the next goal - unfaltering, always on track. Perfect, he is - but that doesn't mean it's a good thing. 




History 

TW: Murder | Graphic Gore | Domestic Abuse | Parental Abuse/Neglect

Luda's memories are far from compromised, but he never wishes to speak upon them - why look in the past when you could live in the present? Live in the moment he says - as he's always done. Live in the moment. 

In 
The
Moment. 

A moment can mean anything, between life and death - the feeling of salt water choking him down as his eyes become bleary and the sight of his mother begins to makes his stomach churn. Where a dirtied home and the smell of rotten meat and mildew would forever linger in Luda's nostrils, burning his throat as even parasites would not live within the boy's tainted body. This was considered a blessing - He was a blessing, yet why was freedom so far from his grasp? 

Small hands reach for the metal around his neck, the cross he bears with agony as he lifts it and feels the surge of god run through his body. He burns as if he were shot straight to hell - for his disobedience. This would not be Luda's first feeling of such pain; for when he disobeys again - he is to know how the lord felt; the bitter taste on his tongue would forever be a reminder of his name. 
The tempest he fears would become his teacher in fate, as he no longer turns his back upon what he was made to be.

Years pass and Luda's hands are stained with red and regret as he lives for something he hates and yet he no longer pulls away. A knife feels comfortable in his hands and prayer no longer feels like a chore. For some time, life becomes mundane even as a priest and his students beg for a change of pace - for that, Luda agrees. Talk goes around town as a mysterious circus arrives - the paranoid towns folk refuse to enter, yet the grey haired man steps inside. The kids that surround him quickly dissipate and he loses control of the situation. 

Roaming about, he would find none of the young ones...until his eyes settle upon the horrific mangled body of a child and the beast who caused such a deed. 
There would be no time to react as he would taste copper and the cold embrace of darkness would take him.

Another moment, a second, a heartbeat. Darkness, a hint of gold, the bars of a cage. Broken glasses that proved useless as warm brown eyes would gaze upon his captors.

The priest now truly a wolf in sheep's clothing, grey hairs now a lovely ivory - a mouth full of sharp teeth though his silver tongue would remain. Cunning words and the Ability to keep others in line gave him his promotion. Sitting behind his desk, he continues to live in the moment - though this time things prove to be...far more interesting.

After looking at this again and ingesting all of this beautiful visual and literary content, I just wanted to say that I love Luda more than I thought I did. Also, I really enjoy his mock halo so much-
