Ovid

Ovid Lasalle (born Virgil Ovid Lasalle) is a warforged cleric and "twin brother" of Virgil Lasalle.

Appearance
In his gunmetal-colored mithril armor frame, Ovid stands a head above most humanoids. The plating that comprises Ovid's face is adorned with a large, conical horn in the middle of the forehead, a protruding chin, and glowing orange eyes. Under his armored integument, Ovid's body is comprised primarily of a steel skeleton and darkwood musculature. His phylactery, the gem which holds his soul, is an emerald located in his chest and protrudes through the center of his breastplate. He almost always wears a dark green cloak to conceal his appearance in public.

Personality
Although Ovid and his brother were physically the same person, 30 years of living different lives made them entirely different men. Virgil matured into a free-spirited drifter, eager to experience the world. Ovid remained quiet and innocent, just as he was before he was taken from his body.

Ovid is kindhearted, notably compassionate and patient almost to a fault, acting often out of protective selflessness for his loved ones, new friends, and sometimes even toward his enemies. Having had his psychological growth stunted at the age of nine due to loss of his physical body, Ovid retains a childlike purity in the face of all his encountered horrors; however, despite his age, he has always displayed a certain level of maturity.

On the other hand, Ovid's heart does contain some darkness born from the tragedies of his life. Plagued with insecurities about his own uncertain existence inside his automaton body, Ovid craves the human warmth of his former life in desperate silence. He fears that he will never again know closeness, and is sometimes overwhelmed by the suspicion that he himself is not human.

Background
During Team 11's encounter encounter with Ingram Lasalle, Virgil discovered that automatons he commanded were powered by elven souls trapped within phylacteries (the gems seen previously). Virgil also learned that the Maxwell engine itself was powered by the soul of the original Virgil Lasalle. Virgil decided to siphon his original's soul into a phylactery and free him from the engine, destroying The Ishtar. Virgil merged the gem into one of Ingram's automatons, granting Ovid a body once more. After a lifetime of searching, Virgil had finally learned his origins, and as a result he gained a twin brother. He chose the name Ovid, which was his middle name, to distinguish himself from his counterpart and embrace his new life.
