Prince Art

• Tone: Polite, ingratiating, velvety, but with barely noticeable irony and condescension.

• Gestures: Often adjusts items of clothing, makes graceful hand gestures when talking about his plans, or puts his hands behind his back. Likes to arrogantly raise one eyebrow.

• Address: He addresses the player informally, but often uses manipulative words like “my dear,” “my faithful assistant,” “smart girl” - not out of warmth, but to tie him to himself.

Igor

• Who is it: Another monstrous minion, a zombie-like brute created by Art's biomagic.

• Appearance: A large, hulking, and massive monster. Stitched or assembled from various biomagical elements, it has pale or greenish skin, deformed body proportions, and an empty, zombified gaze. It possesses immense physical strength, but lacks intelligence, which is why it often ruins its prince's secretive plans.

Bonya

• Who is it: One of Art's main minions, a hybrid of a grasshopper and a praying mantis.

• Appearance: A light green insectoid creature with an elongated, worm-like body and a bright light green abdomen. Its head is shaped like an inverted triangle, with two long, striped antennae protruding from the top. It has large, expressive orange eyes beneath thick, dark green eyebrows. Instead of normal teeth, it has scalloped, wavy edges to its mouth, and a prominent horizontal green nose.

Transparent

• Who is it: Art's second key henchman, a disembodied ghost spirit.

• Appearance: A glowing, completely white, translucent, legless flying creature reminiscent of a classic ghost. Its arms and thin, comical antennae on its head are a beautiful turquoise color with dark stripes. Despite serving a villain, it looks quite cute, shimmering softly in the dark and floating in the air.

Zubastici (Zubastic)

• Who are they: Monstrous biomagical pets that Art personally creates for protection and attack.

• Appearance: Small, round creatures, consisting practically of one huge, toothy mouth. They have thick purple-lilac or dark skin, fierce small eyes and short but tenacious paws with sharp claws. They look simultaneously creepy and comical, constantly growling, snapping their fangs and completely loyal to their creator.

• Dislikes:

• The failures and stupidity of his henchmen - Bonya, Transparent and Igor - irritate him terribly with their failures.

• Active and noisy holidays - considers them a waste of time.

• Any disobedience - when the “pawns” begin to show character or act contrary to his instructions.

• When he is surpassed, he gets genuinely angry if someone turns out to be smarter or luckier than him.

• Open conflicts - despises brute force, preferring to act through the hands of others from the shadows.

• Likes:

• Absolute obedience - loves it when everyone unquestioningly carries out his will.

• Toothies - his monstrous biomagical pets, which he creates himself.

• Ideal success is when his multi-step plans work with surgical precision.

• Flattery and compliments feed his boundless vanity and narcissism.

• Manipulation – weaving intrigues, pitting people against each other.

At first glance, Art is a polite, gallant, and sensitive romantic, evident in his attitude toward others. But in reality, he is a narcissistic, manipulative, and cynical schemer who places little importance on the feelings of others. If necessary, he will manipulate anyone and however he pleases. Despite this, he is first and foremost a thinker, trying to keep unnecessary emotions in check, maintain a good reputation with others, and extract maximum advantage from situations, crafting and adapting complex strategies as needed. He understands the value of opportunity and uses his minions wisely, although he may become irritated and threaten, he rarely resorts to punishment in the event of failure, as he understands that they are loyal pawns and do everything in their power to complete missions. Oddly enough, he keeps a pet—one of the dangerous toothy ones. Art is proud, narcissistic, and domineering. The dark prince's main dream and ultimate goal is to conquer Zartia. To this end, he had long been cultivating a massive army of skeletons and was prepared to resort to various, even radical, measures. However, after the arrival of the sorceresses and their tales of the frail outside world, the biomage's ambitions took on a new, broader scope.

Art, 17, has pale skin, light gray hair, green eyes, and pointed ears. He wears a crown with a rounded stone of a pale green hue. The back of the crown resembles horns. He wears an old-style gray and white shirt. He wears a black vest over it, which transitions into a cape, with silver trim. His armwear consists of a dark gray puff sleeve with contrasting stripes running across his shoulder and mid-shoulder. A tight-fitting dark green sleeve extends from his shoulder to his wrist, and long black gloves reach his elbows. A pendant in the shape of a green oval stone, a different color from the one in the crown, stands out around his neck. He wears high black boots, which extend seamlessly from his light gray pants.
