Meet the immortal king, Pietas, Bringer of Chaos

Pietas, Bringer of Chaos

Obviously, Kayelle could not get a picture of me. I'm on the other side of the galaxy. So she hired Nik Nitsvetov to cosplay me. I must say, he does a smashing job. We could be twins. A striking image. GermanCreative designed the blue portrait. And the dragon ring I'm wearing? Created in digital form by artist Nano-Core exactly as I described it to Kayelle.

She went to so much trouble to portray me as her immortal king that I feel I owe her the true story about my life. As I reveal things to her, she puts them in books. Not as fast as she would like. But, you see, I'm immortal. As much as it frustrates Kayelle, I don't hurry. I have all the time in the worlds.

The picture of me in black leather is from a life where I earned my keep as a street musician. Some day I'll tell you the full story, but I will tell you this - Cyken stayed nearby and made sure no one harassed me, but he never picked up an instrument except to move it when needed, and in the thousands of years I have known him, I have never once heard him sing. If you want to know why, you'll have to ask him. He's never said more about it than, "I don't sing." Not can't, mind you. Don't. I have no idea why.

This is one of Kayelle's favorite pictures of me.

Bless her heart, my dear Kayelle is under the impression she invented me. Or perhaps that's just what she tells her therapist.

But she asked so nicely for me to tell people about myself that I'm complying. "Meet the Immortal King" she calls it. I'll do my best.

My first name is pronounced pee-ah-toss, if you're curious. Pietas (the word itself) is one of the seven virtues and denotes devotion to family, especially to fathers. I'm certain when mine named me he hoped for a self-fulfilling prophecy. Anyone who knows my father knows what a farce that turned out to be.

For those who like to collect trivia about birthdates and such, I was born in Nevern, Wales, on Earth, in February 2620, just over the line for Pisces. I'm a scientist and find astrology to be interesting, but put little personal stock in it. My twin sister fancies herself a classic Pisces - intuitive to the point of psychic, able to see past facades, and people-smart. She also thinks she's emotionally intelligent. I will leave that for others to decide. Kayelle is a Taurus, stubborn, a great listener, and one of my favorite words: indefatigable.

Enneagram

If you want more detail about Enneagram, try this site.

My Enneagram type is 8, the Challenger. I readily claim the positive traits - protective, assertive, resourceful, straight-talking, and decisive. I prefer to remain firmly in control of myself, my surroundings, and where possible, those under my protection. Not overbearing, you understand, but fierce in using my strengths to guard my followers. I'm rather good at persuading others to follow me into all sorts of endeavors, some great, some not. I learned young that success requires strength, will, persistence, and endurance. I possess bucketsful of endurance. Just what an "immortal king" needs, don't you agree?

Kayelle is a type 5, the Investigator. She just looked up "bucketsful" to see if it was the right word (it is). She's perceptive, innovative, and isolated. She's always alert and curious, and she possesses a vivid imagination. She lives in a literal world of her own, detached and high-strung while also intense. Trust me when I say she sees a different world from nearly everyone else.

My twin sister, Dessy, considers herself a type 1, the Reformer. Her basic desire is always strive to achieve whatever mission she has chosen to undertake. She longs to be good, have integrity, and balance. She strives to be right, to improve everything, and to be beyond criticism. She's also known as Rheyn Destoiya, the Empress in the Tarthian Empire. I'm afraid that last quality about criticism is far out of her reach. People consistently find fault with their leaders, even when they respect and support them.Β 

Myers-Briggs Personality Type

If you want more detail about the MBTI, try this site.

I lean toward ENTJ - strategic, logical, efficient, ambitious, but I'm more of an "I" when you get right down to it. E's are extroverts. I'm able to deal with people and crowds, but afterward, I want alone time to recharge. Still, I do love a party and am often the last to leave. While I might be an immortal king, I don't waste time. There is always more to do, and I take responsibilities seriously.

Kayelle is an INFJ - idealistic, organized, dependable, compassionate. She lives and breathes peace and cooperation. When it comes to strategy - she holds that in aces.

My sister Dessy is more ESTJ - she's large and in charge, capable of running the show and knowing what's going on backstage. Things are done in an orderly fashion, or... Well, with my sister, there is no "or." It's just done right. Period.

Formal Council Uniform

The following pictures are of me when first trying on the formal uniform of the Council. I knew I wanted it double-breasted, with epaulettes or shoulder boards. The style on the left is for the rank of admiral. The center is commandant, and the one on the right denotes captain. My final uniform's shoulder boards actually had a black outline with a solid silver center for the rank of Chancellor.

I wanted a flowing cloak that reached the floor. The designers had a bit of difficulty with length because I'd been measured in stocking feet instead of my boots. They had to redo the cloak twice, which annoyed my tailor no end. I can hear her now, ranting about the cost of materials. She was as picky as I am about getting things right, so if I can find a photo of the final uniform, I'll send it to Kayelleβ€”well, describe it, actually. There is no FedEx or UPS in my part of the galaxy, and forget sending an email.

Kayelle tells me that Terran cosplayers are notoriously fussy about making costumes accurate. They don't take kindly to being told, "It's a little longer, actually..." or "is that the only blue you had available?" Kayelle thinks I should be happy with the way it turned out, and believe me, I truly am. But the blue in my uniform is darker and when you get right down to it, more like cyan. I can hear Cyken now. "Are you ever happy with good enough, Pietas?" Well, actually... (smiles)
