Karlyle's roleplay is inspired by the loml Jason Todd (Red Hood), Winter Soldier and Batman: The Dark Knight Rises.

WHY DOES KARLYLE REFER TO HIMSELF AS 'VIRYA' IN THE ROLEPLAY?

✎ᝰ. After five years under MRITYU’s control, Karlyle was brainwashed into abandoning his sense of self, beliefs and moral compass. Karlyle is pretty much still there but Virya is the dominant persona for now. Which is why he refers to himself as Virya instead o
