Czeslaw Meyer

Czesław (チェスワフ・メイエル) is a young child who gained immortality aboard the Advena Avis. Because of the way his guardian, Fermet - who also gained immortality in 1711 - treated him, he is extremely afraid of the other immortals and wants to "eat" them all before they can "eat" him. Despite being around 230 years old in 1931, his mind is very immature as he will never reach puberty, the 'cure-all' elixir eternally deeming his body a child's.

Physical appearance
Czeslaw’s physical appearance is rather bland. With clean features and an innocent demeanor, he’s forever stuck with as a typical 10 years old. Czeslaw, at first glance, may not have been very eye catching, with a soft young face and bright brown eyes. His chestnut/ almost black hair is parted on the left side of his head and is cleanly cut and combed. His hair never seems to be in major disarray. Although he’s rather slim and quite lean for a boy, he appears at some angles to be much more frail than he actually is. Physical appearance is not his strong point, but Czeslaw wouldn’t deny that years of living the harsh crude life had come to nothing as he’d supposedly claimed to have ‘hidden strength’ behind those fragile bones of his.

Clothing of choice
Czeslaw’s trademark and distinctive clothing of choice would be his hat. His beige slightly slanted cap that is large enough to cover his eyes and occasionally sits on top of his head. Although his hat does play quite a role about his personality, Czeslaw frequently pulls on it for comfort when he alters from his usual façade into his deep-thinking mode. Namely when he’s having a one-to-one, private or a personal talk with someone. In the addition of his all-too-normal Long-sleeves whites and tight grey vest, his style of clothing; tends to be the fashion around the 1730’s. But profoundly making him look rather well groomed. With the accession of his black bow tie that rests strictly across his collar, Stripped blazer that hints multiple shades of brown and long dark trousers and ebony shoes, Czeslaw appears to have camouflaged right into the background. His rather deceiving appearance drapes him into the shadow as he’s quite too bland to be noticed for anything.

Weaponry of choice
Sadly, Czeslaw is only 10 years old. Thus all weapons found in his possession are immediately recognized as illegal and would probably be called to the police and asked for his parent. Although if he must confines one thing as a weapon, he’d chose to use his sharp wit and mind to manipulate people as his ‘strong point’.

Abilities
Being at an advantage of 230 years, Czeslaw’s physically ‘weak’ appearance may not seem to cast any harm. But due to suffering from long years of running away, devouring other immortals and learning the rather brutal way to keep him alive. His heart and mind may have isolated itself instinctively, and builds a wall to deflecting any trusts or unnecessary ‘feelings’ he may encounter with other human species. Although behind that hard; impassive wall his process of thinking has sharpened itself and he’s shown to be very manipulative and extremely cunning. Czeslaw is rather good at keeping a natural façade, his demeanor as innocent as normal 10 years old. But his talents are aesthetically put into wondrous display if he’ll ever confide you about his ‘true’ story.

Organization
Being an immortal, Czeslaw cannot find allies in his own race (or, in his case, preferably untrusting of anyone.) Being as old as 230 years and always on the run, his mind and heart has blocked him from finding any acquaintances or ‘trust’ and finds it quite crucial to rely on only himself. That is, until he’d met Isaac and Miria, and as a result, Ennis.

Personality
Czeslaw, at the age of 10, has been on 200 years worth of life-threatening situations, despite that it is impossible for him to lose his life, due to the immortality he’s given. Czeslaw has learned not to trust, but only to deceive and hate during these past 200 years. His mind, as keen and sharp as it might be, has influenced him to become manipulative of people.

Czeslaw is emotionally still a child. His display of feelings and reflex actions that reacts to unexpected situation remains as frail and impulsive as a young boy. Thus the immediate reaction he’s taken on, when wavered by unexpected downturns of events; are quite basically to scream, run or shake in fear.

He’s rather lonesome. He’s sometimes clueless about what he wants or needs, appearing to be quite innocent, consequently due to how undeveloped he, in other areas , when all his 200 years worth of time has been spent avoiding himself getting killed. Czeslaw had never known to love. He’d tried numerous times to revert back to when his old guardian; his father figure; Fermet. But had failed to have given him a proper understanding of what love is. He’s finally slowly trying to understand what love really is through his only and ‘true’ guardian; Ennis.

With his façade slowly merging with his cunning stance, Czeslaw struggles as he tries to change his habit of living. The boy is rather good mannered, shy, smart and quite charming with his talks. From how the usual act of being well mannered can slowly turns into his adopted personality, Czeslaw still finds it hard to let go completely of his past. But he’s progressing gradually as his timid and shy personality when speaking forth an audience slowly becomes more energetic and well entertained. He’s sometimes appears much older than his age and quite matured, when not scared out of his life.

Biography
Czeslaw comes from Poland and is European like many other of his travel mates. He has been an immortal since 1711- aboard the Advent Avis ship which he’d drank and gain access to immortality. He’d set sail along with his father figure and guardian- Fermet. Who after that event, had set him up as his personally ‘lab rat’ and imploded many life-threatening experiments on his body. Czeslaw, only been at around the age of 10 at the time, suffered obnoxiously from the so-called ‘experiment’. He later turns to ‘eat’ his guardian, and became mentally scarred and aware as to what horrendous nature immortality can inflict upon humans. After that event, Czeslaw has been quite under shock and threatened. He’s rather paranoid and convinced that the other immortals are out to get him. He’s pushed into a delusional state that he must ‘eat’ them before they can ‘eat’ him. And thus this is the motivation the 10 years old boy was set in as he travelled across the country, For the past 200 years, Czeslaw has been keeping a low profile and secretly manipulates people into crimes of killing another, if suspected to be an immortal such as he himself. Originally, his plan was to devour Maiza, and travelled to New York to fulfill his craving duties. But with his sudden unexpected encounter with the ‘rail runner’ and Maria and Isaac, his world slowly starts to change. When the whole even of the Flying Pussy ends, Czeslaw decides to follow the lively duo that’d saved his life down to the station. Once he’d confronted Maiza at the train station, his original goal lost momentarily as Czeslaw became unstable of what to do. Torn between ‘eating’ the man or exploring his new grasp on the meaning of the term ‘love’, his doubtful decision subsided as he returns to embrace Maiza, and cries.

Now though, that he’d been formerly introduced to Ennis, he’s began to live with her. As they both have no other family members, the two slowly starts to form one of their own. Although Czeslaw and Ennis has some feelings they both do not understand, and both needed each other in one way or another. Czeslaw gradually begins to open up to Ennis abit more as their bonds strengthen and he’s assured that she’s not an immortal. And seeming she’s the only person gives true pure affection to him, Czeslaw is slowly starting to sincerely care about her and on his journey to discover what love really means with the help of Ennis.
