Role

Chapter 4

Okay, this is really, really, really graphic. I was trying to hold myself
back while writing my role for this character, so this role is mostly for my
own self indulgence. I spent a long time pondering what would be creative
torture methods, and how my character might think. I am reminded of, as I
write this, the quote "A supernatural source of evil is not necessary, man
alone is quite capable of every wickedness."

So please, if you don't like this stuff, don't read it.I just thought Lady
Eshval might like it.



His first incisions were how he always began, two long incisions just on the
inside of the nipple, starting at the top of the pectoral and going to the
bottom rib, one on each side. He then reached down and grabbed the flap of
skin and pulled slowly.He always wanted to see exactly how long the victim
could hold his body up off the table with his wrists and ankles shackled. He
would hold the skin at the peak for as long as it took, usually not very
long, and then once they lost their strength, they would lower back down to
the table, ripping the skin further.

He would then sever both Achilles tendons, watching the victim's face very
closely when he cut the first one, as the look of terror and loss upon their
faces when they realize they no longer have any chance is the sweetest of
nectar.Then sever the tendons in one or both wrists. He could always tell
if the victim was a kind of craftsman because the same look would pass over
them again, knowing they could never again ply their trade. If it was not
for this look, he probably would not bother, as a severed muscle or tendon
does not hurt very bad, relatively speaking.

He would often mock his victim by unstrapping the now useless arm and putting
a knife in the hand, knowing that the victim could not grasp it. He always
liked to see if they would attempt to attack him with it, only to have it
slip out of their hand, or if they would know they could do nothing, and
shake it off.

He then put onto his victim one of his favorite tools. It rests upon the eye
socket, strapped on like an eye patch. It has a blade that can be made
longer or shorter to adjust to the specific victim's face, and sits as close
to the eye as possible without cutting it. Thus the victim must hold open
his eye, lest he slice in two his own eyelid. Once the pain of the dryness
becomes too much, and the blade cleaves the eyelid, it is easily removed and
placed over the next eye.

He used to like to watch the victim struggle against the inevitable, but
later realized that the victim suffered even more when they could not squeeze
shut their eyes while being tortured in other ways.

After they had destroyed their eyelids, he would unstrap one of the victim's
arms, and tie it to a rope hanging from the ceiling. He would explain that
the rope was connected to an igniter for flame placed just under the victim's
foot. If the victim kept his arm up in the air, which requires no effort, he
would be fine, but if he were to fall asleep, his arm would droop and ignite
the fire. Thus the victim would have to stay awake. He would then leave the
room for hours, letting them bask in their own misery.

He would then crack the victim's rib under both arms, making breathing an
agony, but possi
