Ilusão

Created by Gris Lee

Much like Mally's crew, Ilusão came to Gehenna under mysterious circumstance. At first, he seemed rather innocuous. He portrayed himself as this simple street magician who set out to entertain the poor families and children of the city with his fantastical tricks. However, the longer he lingered, the more the dark rumours spread. Ilusão radiates an aura of evil that the wary will notice. There's talk that he's quite the playboy, but with murderous inclinations. He's been linked theoretically to the Reverse Widow cases, which talk of a young man supposedly sleeping around and killing his partners along the way. He's a sneaky one though, making it seemingly impossible to tie anything back to him. Seemingly no-one is aware of his ability, so his lies go unquestioned. Whilst he retains an innocent façade around the children, adults had better be careful of his charm. Ilusão is one of Gehenna's biggest, yet most secret, threats.

Personality

Ilusão is a mysterious man, to say the least. His image is distorted, twisted and uncertain to the people who know about him. On the one hand, there's Ilusão the entertainer. This side of him is the one you see in the streets, performing his elaborate magic tricks for the poor residents in the Blight. He seems genuinely enthusiastic, highly eccentric, and incredibly kind to the children. Those who don't know anything beyond his act think of him as a good person. His charm is almost irresistible to the easily swayed. Ilusão loves to romance anyone and everyone that falls under his tastes, treating them to extravagance like they've never seen. In fact, he's gained something of a playboy reputation among his adult fans.

Then, there's side that emerges from dark rumours. People who have heard about it, perhaps even investigated into related incidents will be aware that Ilusão is capable of some truly awful things. He's been linked to the Reverse Widow cases, which are a string of murders that have occurred during hook-ups, supposedly committed by an adult male. However, there has been as of yet no concrete evidence to condemn him. Whether it is him or not, he lords that failure over the people who suspect him with cocky smirk. On top of this, those who get too close in their investigations will find that he doesn't like nosy people. Find him alone, and you'll experience a sadistic, threatening persona that might just be his true self.

Ilusão isn't just lucky though. He's intelligent, calculating his actions. No matter what, he plays carefully, looking for any opening to exploit and ensuring he covers any clean-up to the utmost degree. In the case of failure he always has a backup plan. His ability makes him impossible to figure out. Only someone with a counter ability to his would have a chance at distinguishing between the many lies he sows.
