#but she has hair to her ass!!! she wears makeup! she shaves regularly!! she likes shopping and dresses and being pretty!!

[girlscience]

it's weird. when I initially stopped shaving and cut my hair off I was pressured about both. I was explicitly told to go back to shaving and long hair. It sucked, but eventually I got over it and enjoyed it and was living my best life. And now, all the sudden, without anyone actually saying anything, I am feeling that pressure again. I am genuinely considering both, even though I don't want either.

A Long List of Trash Fire Lord Zuko Headcanons

...that i couldn't get out of my head:

(warning: SUPER LONG POST i havent figured out how to trim posts yet)

he's the one who unchains azula despite iroh's protests. she doesn't even try to fight him, just cries into his shoulder and keeps mumbling about how father's going to be so disappointed in her. he takes her to her rooms and has her drink a sleeping draught, then stations the best guards he has left outside her chambers.

his first council meeting takes place literally a day after sozin's comet. he hobbles into the council chamber shirtless with his entire torso covered in bandages and every council member just looks at him like '...what'

he does NOT sleep for like,,a week after sozin's comet and then another two weeks after his coronation. katara, aang and suki try to persuade him to sleep and he doesn't listen. eventually sokka, toph and mai team up to literally drag his ass to bed and tell him he's not allowed to get up until he sleeps (does mai pin him to the bed with her knives? yes. is it kinky or sexual in any way? definitely not.)

he drinks So. Much. Tea. at this point it's practically tasteless to him but he drinks it anyway because he just needs something to do and tea is something familiar. he keeps iroh on his toes because he's constantly asking for new tea blends, uncle, i think i actually tasted the last one,

he flat-out refuses to grow his hair for at least a year after ozai's defeat. the second it starts getting close to his chin he shears it off himself, with his knife, and his stylist has a heart attack every single time

when he's tired he'll occasionally jump up when one of his guards moves. it stops after a bit, but for the first month and a half or so he's really twitchy. when sokka asks, the only explanation he can come up with is that he's not used to having people stand behind him silently and not want to kill him, much less want to protect him (sokka immediately takes him out for a shopping trip and makes a point of walking behind him the entire time, but only on zuko's right side, where he can clearly see it if sokka moves towards him)

when the healer declares azula mentally unstable and in need of an institution, he shuts himself in his office for the rest of the night. no one's allowed in, not even iroh. he finally emerges in the morning, eyes red from crying and sleep deprivation, and tells the librarian that he'd like a list of the best mental institutions in the country, please, the best in the world if you can get them

he loves theatre (is this even a headcanon?). unfortunately it practically died out in the fire nation along with the rest of the creative arts, leaving nothing but small troupes like the ember island players. one of zuko's personal goals (meaning things he wants to accomplish that aren't as important as restoring his country) is to bring back theatre; he finally manages to do it after about eight months or so of being fire lord, along with other arts like dancing, music and sculpture

he establishes a national day of mourning, on the first day of autumn every year, to commemorate the genocide of the air nomads. from 100AG onwards, every calendar printed in the fire nation has it marked. at first it was called the day of repentance, but aang persuaded him to have it changed (by arguing that he didn't want guilt to be a literal staple of fire nation culture)

he introduces literally So Many educational reforms, plus a mandatory class that teaches students about the cultures of the other nations (air nomads included) and how some of their traditions overlap

he turns down the offer of having a statue put up of him in the capital. toph ignores him and does it anyway.

he visits azula regularly, makes sure she's (relatively) comfortable and well-fed, and sometimes just sits down outside her door and tells her about everything that's going on right now ('some of the far colonies have developed their own standardised writing, azula, you wouldn't believe it, and i've asked the fire sages to come visit more often—but you never liked them, did you? oh, well; i'll make sure none of them go into your chambers by mistake')

(he doesn't know it, but when he does this azula sits by the door and listens. she wonders what kind of writing the colonists have developed, and whether or not the fire sages have taken on some new recruits.)

he hates being above anyone else. never sits in the throne if he can help it, nor does he sit on the dais in the council room. when he talks to people shorter than him, he finds himself stooping a little bit to talk to them on their level (the exception to this rule is sokka, who he mocks for being shorter all the way up until sokka grows taller than him, the bastard)

the first time he visits the earth kingdom, the earth king's ministers call a toast. he ends up being the only one who has to sit out, because he's too young to drink by earth kingdom law

once his servants figure out he won't kill them for talking to him, they start becoming a lot more bold, telling him off when he doesn't take care of himself. at one point, they force him to let them take care of him so much that he literally just bolts into the gardens and hides there until the staff rope in mai and ty lee

when he needs to escape, he does one of two things: (a) he dresses up as the blue spirit and does some parkour until he calms down, or (b) he goes to work at the jasmine dragon. (b) happens less often bc the jasmine dragon's in ba sing se, but there's been a few memorable incidents when an earth kingdom diplomat walks in and yells, 'LEE?!' when they see the fire lord

the first court artist who draws him also happens to be the one who drew azulon and ozai. he draws zuko without his scar. zuko takes one look at it and tells him, very calmly, that he'd like him to leave, please.

zuko burns the portrait. he doesn't fire the court artist, but he never calls on him again unless he has to. a second court artist is called, and can't help but be a bit confused when the fire lord tells him to be sure to include the scar

he forgets the crown. a lot. sometimes he walks into council meetings in his sleepwear with his hair tied up in a messy ponytail and a bunch of scrolls tucked under his arm. none of his councilmen have the guts (or the heart) to tell him that this is not, in fact, formal council wear

he goes to feed the turtleducks when he's stressed. he thinks he's being subtle. he's not. the entire palace knows, and they consciously give him space when they see him in the turtleduck garden

most of his staff are older than him, so they look at him and see this teeny tiny fire lord who is So Small and who Must Be Protected. the day after zuko's coronation, the head chef holds a meeting where they commence Operation Do-Not-Let-That-Boy-Turn-Out-Like-His-Father (subsection He's-The-Only-Good-Thing-We-Have)

one night he wakes up to find suki sitting in his room, decked out in full kyoshi warrior garb and makeup, and just about screams blue murder. suki tells him there are suspicions of an assassin in the palace, and would you please stop yelling it's very distracting, we won't be able to hear anyone coming over that racket

zuko gets very, very paranoid of random spirits after that. yeah, suki looks like a possibly malevolent spirit when she's wearing her makeup, what about it? (when he tells sokka he's highkey terrified of spirit shenanigans, sokka just looks at him and says, 'man, the stories i could tell...', and THAT'S when zuko remembers sokka spent like six months more than he did travelling with the avatar)

on his first visit to the southern water tribe, he removes his boots and leg guards, rolls up his pants and kneels barefoot in the snow. even though chief hakoda immediately starts trying to pull him up, he's stubborn as hell and stays kneeling for the entirety of his very long, very sincere apology-on-behalf-of-the-fire-nation speech. he nearly loses his toes to frostbite after that, and both sokka and katara never stop giving him shit for it

the first time he grows a 'beard' is completely accidental. he's stressed over some trade miscommunications with chief hakoda, hasn't slept in a few days...and then when sokka arrives as water tribe ambassador to help smooth things over, he takes one look at zuko and says 'man, facial hair does not suit you'

zuko: facial what now

he checks a mirror to find that he's got stubble covering his chin, dark enough that it almost looks intentional, and holy gods how the fuck did he not notice this before

'UNCLE WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME' 'i assumed you were doing it on purpose' 'WHEN HAVE I EVER DONE ANYTHING ON PURPOSE'

he shaves it all off immediately, of course, which prompts a lot of teasing and rib-poking from sokka until zuko finally snaps that he's scared it'll make him look like his father. sokka stops after that.

(the day after sokka leaves, zuko finds that a mysterious someone has scribbled all over ozai's royal portrait, giving him a frankly ridiculous beard and moustache that literally CANNOT be grown in real life. oddly enough, he can't bring himself to care about the defamation of royal property. he's too busy laughing.)

his paths cross with toph and sokka more than any of the others, because sokka is ambassador and toph is technically still a beifong. most of the time, at formal functions, he ends up sequestered in the corner with toph and a hoard of snacks, and they talk and swear much more than they usually do (zuko's ministers once heard him when he was drunk with toph, and the servants swear the older ministers' ears started bleeding)

he restores fire nation cultural festivals, and in doing so subjects himself to learning a lot of complicated dances

during one memorable week, he wrote so many letters and drafted so much legislation that he ran out of paper. he had to go visit the nearest school and ask for some

he keeps up with his firebending and sword training even though it's hard to fit into his schedule. his ministers refrain from reminding him that he has guards to protect him now; it's still hard for zuko to trust his safety with anyone but himself (team avatar is the exception).

he started sleepwalking about two months into his reign. no one knew why. one time, he nearly sleepwalked right off the edge of a balcony, and one of his guards had to grab him by the back of his robes.

the sleepwalking stopped after around a month and never happened again. at this point it's practically palace legend.

after freeing the war prisoners, he went around collecting every single earthbender-proof wooden cell he could find in the capital and surrounding areas. when he'd gotten most of them, he gathered them into a huge pile in the city square and set fire to them with his own hands.

unfortunately he couldn't do that with the waterbender metal cells but he did get toph to come in and bend them all into pretty shapes (well, toph thought they were pretty shapes. everyone else thinks they're meaningless squiggles)

he learned how to write with both hands at the same time out of sheer necessity (he refused scribes until it became clear that he'd be putting some people out of a job; that was when he started letting scribes write very, very minor things, but all important documents/drafts/letters are still written by him)

he once put the wet end of an ink brush in his mouth instead of the wooden end by mistake. didn't even realise until he bit down to keep it in place and ink went oozing everywhere

when his guards rushed in to find him coughing and spluttering black liquid all over his desk they thought he'd been poisoned but no he's just stupid

on his 17th birthday, his first one after being crowned, he got tackled by team avatar in the middle of the ballroom and ended up at the bottom of a cuddlepile for like ten minutes

this cuddlepile happened at an event that was very much public and very much formal. it was a scandal for weeks

just. fire lord zuko, guys. so much potential

Hello! 🍊 for Vael and/or 14 for the relationship ask :) :) if you want to of course!

𝐅𝐑𝐔𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐒   ♡   𝐒𝐘𝐌𝐁𝐎𝐋 𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐄

ALWAYS ACCEPTING <3

🍑  :    how meticulously does my muse look after their physical appearance?  do they spend a lot of time on their hair,  makeup,  grooming,  and clothing?  is there a particular reason why they do or don’t?  

eeee!!!! ok i’ve been wanting to write a bit more about vael’s habits and self maintenance because it’s been on my mind lately so this is great!

BODY HAIR:

let me preface by saying that upon my research of elves, dunmer specifically because vael is half, i’ve found that they have no body hair??? correct me if i’ve been misled by articles i’ve read! but vael doesn’t have to worry about body hair other than her brows, head hair and lashes. but i also feel the need to capitalize on the fact that hair growth and hair removal wouldn’t be a taboo thing in skyrim. people could shave with blades and whatnot but body hair removal wouldn’t be a thing in tamriel because like...they didn’t care since it’s natural and it’s literally just hair??? but removal of hair could also be a cultural choice as well. 

basically what i’m saying is that by her genetics, vael is virtually hairless on her body. but if she were to grow hair like crazy, she probably wouldn’t shave it off or care that it’s there. in fact, she’d embrace it and groom herself accordingly for hygienic purposes. 

HAIR:

as far as the hair on her head, it’s quite dense and thick and has a lot of texture to it. vael’s mother would trim her hair to keep it healthy. she also taught her how to braid her hair (just simple braids for keeping hair out of the face. which was difficult for vael to learn at first because coordination of the hands lol). but most of the time, especially as she gets older, she tends to wear her hair down, washes it every few days, and ties it back when doing more strenuous work. 

BODY/SCENTS:

vael keeps up on her personal hygiene. she’s not concerned with looks, but she cared about how she felt and if she smelled good so she would bathe regularly and because she grew up around potions and ingredients, she was taught how to make pretty smelling oils and waters for simple aromas and also to put on herself. 

PHYSIQUE: 

vael was never one for exercise per say but she did eat a lot of plant based things being that they were most accessible on solstiheim. also a lot of seafood because that was also quite accessible. she’s naturally on the lithe side given her elven genetics but it’s also quite easy for her to gain muscle from her nordic side. she mostly kept busy just moving and walking when she was younger. and now that she’s in skyrim, she will be building up her stamina and muscles with all of the dirty work she’s getting into. (i might make a more detailed headcanon about her body stats at some point!)

MAKEUP:

makeup was never something she played with given where she grew up and how she grew up. solstheim is there was never a reason to have makeup. if you give vael makeup, she wouldn’t know what the hell to do with it (and we’re gonna get into some makeup a little later on in the story(((((((((::::::::) but since her mother was fleeing from vvanderfell, she wasn’t making makeup a priority to bring with her.

14. When one has a cold, what does the other do? 

KDSJBGHDFG!!!!

if kaidan has a cold: 

he’s not like most guys in that he would literally rather suffer in silence than admit he’s sick. because most guys are big babies LMAO. it’s not a masculinity thing but a perseverance thing. he was always taught to push forward no matter what and a little cold is no excuse. but now that he’s with vael, and she’s pretty observant (who wouldn’t be with kai he’s so fine), she calls him on his shit and forces him to take a break. she’s an attentive person naturally. she was very much cared for a loved by her mother and elynea growing up. not only that, but they taught her so much about making her own medicines and tending to a home and being resourceful. 

vael would first get kai to chill out and take a break whether it was at a camp they set up or at an inn. she would rather lose time than have kaidan get sicker and have to cope on the road. kaidan would be really stubborn about it but agree eventually because he knows it’s what’s best and that vael is equally, if not more, stubborn and would force his sick ass to lay the hell down whether he wants to or not. 

she would make sure he’s comfortable and warm, get him out of his armor and wrap him up in furs. and then she’d get to making some holistic remedies for a cold. she would also make him soup and remind him to eat even when he’s not hungry or can’t taste anything because he needs the energy and nourishment. he would probably feel a bit strange about letting her take care of him in that he’s not used to a female presence that’s nurturing, (his ex girls ain’t shit and obviously his poor mother is gone) but would eventually just let it happen because it feels nice to be cared for. he would definitely be worried about her catching the cold though and warn her to keep her distance but vael doesn’t really care. 

and when she makes it perfectly clear she doesn’t give a fuck about his snot nosed can’t breathe sick self, he accepts her cuddles. she’d make him a sleep tonic and then hold him through the night and stroke his hair and coddle her grown ass man.

if vael is sick:

vael has gotten sick a few times before but nothing ever too serious. a cold isn’t a big deal for her but it’s uncomfortable being that she doesn’t have a stable home and or elynea to care for her. with kaidan, she tries to conceal it a little because he warned her about getting to close and catching his cold. so when it happens, it’s a joking i told you so. but then he’s quick to return the favor of his care. kaidan’s approach to caring about others or for others is kind of nonexistent or even a tough love type of care. but not with vael. it’s so painfully obvious how soft he is for her and that she’s teaching him how to care for someone else in ways more than just pertaining to emotions. 

since he’s not as well versed in tonics/remedies/potions as she is (not in the way she uses them), he would have her tell him what ingredients he needs and walk him through the process of creation. and if we thought kai was protective always, he’s even more protective now. he doesn’t want to leave her side but will gladly give her space if she wants it. but he’ll sleep at her side to keep her warm. he’s like a furnace tbh. so he’ll lay with her at night when she’s in and out of sleep and just let her snuggle up to him. he tends to stay awake just in case she needs something and so that he’s aware of his surroundings to make sure both of them stay safe. 

kai is actually a GREAT cook.  despite not being able to really whip up potions or knowing more obscure ingredients, he knows how to make a good meal. he’s had to fend for himself a lot and so, he learned how to feed himself well. he came by quite a few cook books during his travels and may or may not have taken one or two of them. he’s not ashamed to admit that he’s spent some of his hard earned coin on spices. he doesn’t have them now being that his camp was raided and belongings stolen, but the man knows how to improvise with natural spices. and they definitely clear sinuses LMAO. 

kaidan will offer to read to vael because he knows it lifts her mood even if he’s sassy about it any other time. he wants to return all of the care she gave to him back tenfold not because he feels indebted to her like how they came to travel together after the prison, but because she deserves to be cared for in that very same fashion with the same energy.

12. What was your last dream about? The last one I remember having was one in which I was in my high school cafeteria. For some reason everyone in my high school was invited to this wedding (don't know whose), and we all decided to get dressed at school. Now mind you, this took place in my high school but in the present day, meaning we were all adults. When I looked around, guys and girls were putting on their outfits, doing their hair, and doing their makeup. All the parents were there getting ready too. I remember getting upset because my parents brought the wrong dress for me. They brought the dress I wore to my cousin's wedding a few years ago, which is a beautiful dark blue gown. I was upset because I was afraid the dress would rip because of all the weight I've gained. (The dress actually did rip in real life when I wore it to my step-aunt's wedding a couple of months ago; causing me to have to borrow someone’s dress for the rest of the night). So after some complaining, I convinced them to stop back at home so I could get a different dress, and that's when I woke up. 

 13. What is the best thing about you? I always try to see the best in everyone, even if they've done me wrong.

      5. Comedy of Errors- Alesana 

15. Favorite song? It typically depends on my mood, but the one that is most constant is “Born This Way” by Lady Gaga. It’s pretty much the perfect song because a. it’s fun to sing along to, b. it’s fun to dance to, c. it has beautiful lyrics with a powerful message about self-love and self-acceptance, especially for the LGBT community.

16. Favorite TV show? Game of Thrones, by fucking far!

17. Favorite movie? the Harry Potter series

18. Do you miss anyone right now? I miss my Sammy and I miss my friends who I don’t see nearly enough

20. Do you want a church wedding? Nah, I’d probably burst into flames up at the altar.

22. Have you ever been to the hospital? The last time I remember going was when I was 6 and needed 10 stitches on my head.

24. Baths or showers? Both! I only really like baths when I have a bath bomb/bubble bar, though!

25. What color socks are you wearing? None. 

26. Have you ever been famous? Nah, I don’t have the charisma or personality to handle that much attention.

31. What position do you usually sleep in? I usually sleep on my side (fetal position)

32. How big is your house? Our apartment is a decently sized one-bedroom

33. What do you typically have for breakfast? Eggs or rolled oats with fruit

34. Have you ever fired a gun? Nope!

35. Have you ever tried archery? No, but it sounds cool

36. Who is your celebrity crush? Lady Gaga cuz she’s actually perfect

37. Who do you look up to? Lady Gaga, because she isn’t afraid to be who she is and inspires others love and accept themselves. She is an extremely talented and accomplished musician, but retains such a humility and love for her fans. So basically, as I said before, she’s perfect.

 38. What’s the longest you’ve ever gone without sleep? 22 hours. When I was a high school senior, I got hooked on World of Warcraft, and I would do raids until 2 am (Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays), and then wake up for school at 5 am. Thursdays were the worst. 

39. Do you have any scars? On my forehead from the 10 stitches I got as a child, and a few on my face from the chicken pox.

40. Have you ever had a secret admirer? I don’t believe so.

41. Are you a good liar? I’m good at white lies (“I love that new haircut!”) but suck at lying about things that actually matter because I’m really bad at hiding my feelings.

42. Are you a good judge of character? For the most part. 

43. Can you do any other accents other than your own? I like to pretend I can do a British accent, but it’s not all that.

44. Do you have a strong accent? Nah lol, just standard New England.

45. What is your favorite accent? British, Irish, Australian

46. Name all the countries you’ve been to? Not as many as I’d like! I have only been to Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and I took a cruise as a kid that stopped in Aruba, St. Martin, and St. Thomas. So basically, I’ve been around the Carribean.

47. What is your most expensive piece of clothing? I don’t know, haha. I’m too broke for expensive clothes, I’m a grad student.

 48. Can you curl your tongue? Kind of.

49. Are you an innie or an outie? Innie!

50. Left or right handed? Right, my left hand is useless

51. Are you scared of spiders? Yes, I hate all of them.

52. Favorite food? You can never go wrong with pizza

53. Favorite foreign food? Thai food is heaven.

54. Are you a clean or messy person? I can be messy with clothes, but for the most part, I’m a neat freak. I get anxiety if things are too dirty around the house.

55. Most used phrase?  “I’m too tired for life......”

56. Most used word? “Fuck”

 57. How long does it take for you to get ready? Probably like 30-45 minutes on average. I varies depending on how long my shower is, how much make up I’m trying to wear, what I’m doing to my hair, and if shaving my legs is part of the process. 

58. Do you have much of an ego? Most of the time I tend to be very hard on myself, so I’m gonna say no.

59. Do you suck or bite lollipops? Don’t eat many lollipops nowadays, but suck!

60. Do you talk to yourself? All the time! I’m a great conversationalist.

61. Do you sing to yourself? All the time! Every car ride is a concert just for me.

62. Are you a good singer? I’m not too shabby. 

63. Biggest Fear? Failure, rejection, judgement.

64. Are you a gossip? I can be. I enjoy talking about others, but many times it’s not in a negative way. For example, if I’m worried about someone who isn’t really saying much to me, I may ask another friend what’s going on with them because I’m concerned...not cuz I’m trying to talk shit. I guess I should get better at direct communication, tho.

 65. Favorite character in anything? Tyrion Lannister in Game of Thrones, ASOIAF

66. Do you like long or short hair? I like both, but I’m digging my ultra long hair right now cuz I had short hair for so long!

67. Can you name all 50 states of America? Probably, just don’t ask me where they all are on the map.

 68. Favorite school subject? English/literature all the way!

69. Extrovert or Introvert? Too introverted to handle.

70. Favorite hobbies? Reading, writing, watching movies/shows, make-up, spending time with my boyfriend and friends

71. What makes you nervous? Everything social, judgement, presenting in front of people, making decisions.

72. Are you scared of the dark? I used to be, but now I like it. 

 73. Do you correct people when they make mistakes? Not really. I used to correct peoples’ grammar/spelling mistakes, but then I realized what an ass I was being. I only really point out mistakes if I think the mistakes will negatively impact the person.

74. Are you ticklish? Yes, extremely and everywhere.

75. Have you ever started a rumor? I don’t think so.

 76. Have you ever been in a position of authority? I guess I’m in a position of power/authority in my career. I never know what to do with that power, though.

77. Have you ever drank underage? Of course. 

78. Have you ever done drugs? I’ve dabbled in a few things. Weed is the only consistent one, and it’s hardly a “drug.” I’ve never done anything seriously addictive/dangerous like heroine or meth or something.

79. Who was your first real crush? This kid in my second grade class. He didn’t like me though cuz he was popular, and I was very unpopular.

80. How many piercings do you have? 5 - lobes, industrial bar, nostril, and navel. I want so so so many more though.

81. Can you roll your Rs? Spanish is my second language, so claro que sí!

82. How fast can you type? Pretty damn fast, actually.

83. How fast can you run? Fast if it’s for a very short distance. I have very little endurance, though.

84. What color is your hair? Naturally, I’m a milk chocolate brown. Right now, I’ve got about 2-3 inches my roots grown out, and the rest is a fading purple.

85. What color are your eyes? Dark brown.

86. What are you allergic to? Just pollen.

87. Do you keep a journal? I’ve always been bad at keeping up with journals. I wish I could find some old ones with my poetry.

88. What do your parents do? Dad: owns a little grocery store, Mom: works at a bank, Stepdad: works at an investment bank (stocks and such)

 89. Do you like your age? It’s okay. I’m getting old, though.

90. What makes you angry? Ignorance/ hatred: racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, etc. It honestly makes no sense to me how people can’t just love and accept one another and mind their own damn business.

91. Do you like your own name? I think it’s a nice name.

92. Have you already thought of baby names, and if so what are they? I’ve had many thoughts throughout the years. I’ve always been partial to gender neutral names like Alex, Riley, Andy, etc.

93. Do you want a boy or a girl for a child? One of each would work.

94. If you had to have someone narrate the story of your life to you when you died, who would it be? This is an odd question, honestly, I’m not sure.

 95. What’s the best thing you’ve ever won? I don’t really win things.

Verse: kind of an original, non-specific magical verse, can tie in with Marvel, Supernatural-themed fandoms & the Rick Riordan series Date: started 02/23/2018; finished 03/04/2018 Full Name: Dalton Howze Jaynes Pronunciation: doll-tun howz jayns Nickname/Alias: Dalt, D Meaning: Dalton = “valley town”, Howze = named after a famous General Origin: Dalton is just a name I really like and fit his concept, and Howze I came up with after figuring out he was from a military family & I looked up some famous Generals Title: none Pet Name: Whiz Kid, Nerd, Army Brat ID Number: uhhh none really. I guess his employee #? 539842 there. made up on the spot. Signature: kinda messy & illegible ( below is a close-ish match, but his is even more of a chicken scratch )

Gender: Cismale Gender Role: He’s pretty masculine, but also rather on the quiet side & can exhibit feminine characteristics. Orientation: Gay gay gay Real Age: 26 Age Appearance: When he doesn’t shave, he can look up to 10 years older than he actually is. Birthday: Jan 29, 1992 Deathday: unknown Birthplace: Stuttgart, Germany Astrological Sign: Aquarius Zodiac Sign: Sheep Immediate Family: Perry, father, died when Dalton was 9 & Ruth, mother; sisters Elizabeth, 20, and Mary Alyx ( goes by Alyx ), 6 Distant Family: step-father Jack, isn’t really in contact with his grandparents on either side, particularly his dad’s side since they kinda ostracized him Parenting: Dalton’s mother was the strict one and instilled a strong sense of discipline in him. Perry was the artsy, kind of head-in-the-clouds one and he helped Dalton develop his own sense of identity. Upbringing: Self-discipline was very important, and the concept of hard work. Authority was strongly enforced and respecting that authority. He was given room to question it on a limited basis, but to also understand that there were time you need to follow orders and trust that your best interest is in mind. While Ruth was very dedicated to her military service and would have liked to see Dalton serve, it wasn’t something that Dalton felt forced into. Infancy: Ruth returned to service a month after he was born, so he largely bonded with his dad. But she wasn’t deployed at the time so she did still get to see him as a baby and care for him. He was walking and talking early on in life, and mostly ahead or on track with developmental milestones. Childhood: Dalton was an only child until he was 6, but he wasn’t spoiled. The spoiled one of the family would probably be Elizabeth since she was the youngest and the only girl for a long time. That being said, Dalton was the only one who really got to spend time with his dad since he passed away when he was 9. After his dad’s death he went from being a fairly outgoing and talkative child to quieter and more withdrawn. He didn’t connect with his mother super well since she was far more rigid and no-nonsense and he was always drawn to books and technology. Adolescence: As with much of his childhood, Dalton spend time in several different schools in several countries. He picked up little bits & pieces of language and culture from each and it taught him to be more respectful and tolerant. He could sometimes still be a moody teenager, secluding himself in his room to listen to music and chat online with friends he’d moved away from or friends across the world that he’d never met in person. He took an early interest in supernatural and the occult, which often ostracized him in school, but he took a certain pride in being “weird”. Adulthood: Dalton was accepted to a college in Boston and moved off the military base his mom was stationed at to attend school. He got a part time job at the campus bookstore & saved up to buy a car so he could visit nearby Salem for his own curiosity. Admittedly, it wasn’t quite what he expected, but it did inspire him to keep researching witchcraft and the history of such. Coming of Age: Dalton probably “grew up” when he decided to quit school despite his mother’s protests. It just wasn’t necessary for him to keep shelling out money when he could ( and DID ) acquire a job he wanted without a full degree. He was happy at the company he worked for and the practical & on-hands job training was far more of interest to him than a formal education. Evolution: Dalton has always been more or less confident in himself, but with his dad’s death, he had to become more so. He also had to become more independent and decide whether to follow blindly in his mom’s footsteps or seek out something he was passionate about. Species: Human Ethnicity: Caucasian, with English, Hungarian, and Romanian ancestries being the most traceable Blood Type: O neg Preferred Hand: Right handed, with some limited ambidexterity Facial Type: it’s kind of a heart-oval blend? if that’s possible? i always sucked at face shapes Eye Color: Hazel ( a caramel brown with green flecks ) Hair Color: Dark mousy brown Hairstyle: Typically short on the sides with unruly curls on top Skin Tone: Pale & peachy mostly, with the faintest tinge of olive Complexion: Clear, but prone to oily spots & breakouts around his chin ( also from frequently resting his chin in his hands while on the computer & idly picking at his beard ) Makeup: nah, but he can be convinced to wear eyeliner Body Type: thin & toned, straddles between ectomorph & mesomorph Build: some muscle definition all over, mostly in upper torso Height: 5′11″ Weight: ~140lbs Cup Size: n/a Facial Hair: usually a scruffy/sparse goatee & soul patch, but sometimes he lets it grow into a more prominent beard Shoe Size: 9 Birthmarks/scars: a few small scars from cooking accidents & being a boy, but nothing major. he’s never broken a bone. Distinguishing Features: prob just his floofy hair and his upright posture, until he sits in front of a computer, then he loses all sense of posture lmao Health: He’s generally healthy, but does get colds pretty easily. It’s rarely serious enough for him to call into work. Energy: Dalton operates on a moderately low energy level, particularly if he’s been up late the previous night. He tends to remedy this with coffee & energy drinks. Memory: He’s got a good memory for things he’s engaged in and actively cares about, but can be forgetful with minor details like names of people he’s just met or place names. Languages stick pretty good in his head, too, but if he doesn’t use them regularly enough he loses them. Senses: Dalton has a weirdly keen sense of smell. His eyesight is getting worse and he’ll probably need glasses before too long to continue working on computers. Allergies: Coconut, plus some minor seasonal allergies he can treat with OTC meds Handicaps: none Medication: just over the counter stuff Phobias: Hospitals freak him out after his dad. Addictions: Caffeine, more towards energy drinks & hot tea, then coffee, but soda isn’t super common for him to drink Mental Disorders: nothing really Style: somewhere in the grungy-hipster vibe Mode of Dress: Very casual, shirts untucked unless it’s actually a formal event Grooming: Most of the time his grooming & hygiene is good, but on his weekends off he can get into slob mode. Posture: He walks with very straight posture, shoulders back, head up, and usually sits with good posture unless he’s gaming or getting deep into some computer project, then he turns into Slouchy McSloucher. Gait: He’s got a confident & smooth gait, on the masculine edge without being too swagger-y. Coordination: He’s got pretty decent coordination and played some sports here and there during school. He has a gym membership that he does use, if not always regularly. Habits and Mannerisms: He picks at his facial hair while thinking and twiddles pens when he’s feeling relaxed enough. When he’s being completely still it’s usually because he’s trying to be on his best behavior. Scent: He’s got a bit of that man funk, but also sometimes dust and electricity from working on computers. Coffee, energy drinks, also his sandalwood body soap. Mood: He’s usually pretty neutral and relaxed, but this can also come from being sleepy due to lack of proper sleep. Attitude: Politeness was instilled in him at a young age, so he typically “Yes, Sir/Ma’am” and “please” and “thank you”, but he’s usually positive in his interactions with others in general. Stability: Super stable, honestly. To the point sometimes where people have been like ‘How are you so chill, dude?’ Expressiveness: He stays on the quiet side and isn’t super expressive, but he’s not a robot either. When Happy: smiles a lot, hums and taps his fingers to a beat on a desk or on his thigh When Depressed: sleeps & binges on junk food When Angry: pulls out the really violent video games tbh or shoves his headphones in & cranks up the angry music Note: These are generalizations. Different situations will create different reactions. Current Residence: a small apartment in Boston in desperate need of a paint job & updated appliances, but it functions, even if he needs like 10 blankets in the winter. Community: People in Boston can be kinda rude tbh but they also stick to themselves, which is kinda how he prefers it. Family: Elizabeth, his oldest sister, is studying in Scotland, and his mom & step-dad live on base on the other side of the country at the moment with his young sister, Mary Alyx Friends: Surprisingly Dalton doesn’t really have any friends at work, so he has friends he keeps in touch with online. His closest “friend” in Boston is the guy at the bookstore he frequents. Enemies: He...doesn’t despise anyone? Maybe harbors some resentment for his dad’s doctor though. Bosses: The main dude at the company he works for is kind of an ass, but he’s nice enough to Dalton, just demanding when tech problems spring up. He’s also a perv tbh, so Dalton really doesn’t care for him. Thankfully they don’t have much interaction. Followers: Dalton’s pretty much his own guy. He doesn’t have subordinates at work, though there’s one other guy who works in the tech department. Heroes: Honestly, even though they didn’t always see eye-to-eye, his mom is his hero. She helps save lives, piloting Army rescue helicopters so. yeah. Also his dad, which will only increase as he learns about his heritage ( though there’s gonna be some resentment that Perry never told him about his side of the family & their abilities. ) Rivals: no one, really Relates to: He related to his dad more than his mom, having more of his creativity and sensitivity than his mom’s toughness and structure. Pets/Familiars: Dalton has a cat he adopted from the shelter that he named Chernobog. Unbeknownst to him, Chernobog is actually a familiar and influenced his choice to pick him. Chernobog is a black smoke tabby. Wardrobe: His closet is comprised of a lot of hoodies and jeans. He does own some heavy jackets because Boston winters can be brutal, and some odds and ends left over from when he was younger and living in other places. Equipment: his cell phone & his laptop are essential Accessories: He often wears a leather bracelet with a moon charm that used to belong to his dad. The charm was actually crafted over 100 years ago and imbued with a small bit of protection magic. Trinkets: see above Funds: eh, Dalton’s not rich by any means, but he makes about $15/hr so it could be a lot worse. Home: His apartment is a little run down and pretty small. The building itself is old, so there are some drafty windows and the big heaters can make some banging sounds that’ll freak you out if you’re not prepared for them. It’s sparsely decorated, with a cheap couch he picked up off a Facebook posting and none of it matching. Neighborhood: It’s kinda busy and noisy around his apartment, but there’s a bookstore within a couple blocks and a coffee shop not far from work so he can’t complain too much. Transportation: Dalton mostly utilizes public transport or he walks. He’s never really had the need or opportunity to learn how to drive. Sometimes he thinks about getting a moped for the convenience, but then he’s gotta pay for gas and insurance too. License Plate Number: n/a Collections: He has a collection of books, I guess. Mostly they’re on witchcraft or supernatural creatures, sometimes myths & legends from other countries. Most valuable possession: Definitely his laptop. It’s not top of the line, but it’s nothing to sneer at. He needs it to perform well for work ( & he does do some gaming, too ) so he’s got it maxed out on RAM, too. Prized Possession: an anthology of Hungarian folk tales gifted to him by his father Lovers: He’s had a few boyfriends here and there, but nothing currently. Marital Status: Single Sex Life: Not a virgin, but he’s pretty inexperienced ok. Right now it’s just him & his hand, but he’s not a very frequent masterbator. Type: idk...maybe Agapic Storge ?? Turn-Ons: Confidence, intense personalities, adventurousness Turn Offs: Extremely needy people, Poor hygiene Position: Usually sub Plays: Bondage, sensory deprivation, edgeplay, a bit of a humiliation/degradation kink, just the Dom/sub dynamic in general particularly where it comes to following orders, Sounding Fetishes: Uh I guess a fetish for feeling like he’s gonna be pushed too far?? idek if that’s a thing Virginity: He’s rather inexperienced. Most of the kinks listed above he’s only read about and some he doesn’t even know he’s into yet. Element: Air Occupation: Tech Support Agent Work Ethic: He’s been taught by his mother to always work hard. That’s generally the case, though everyone slacks here and there. He’s more likely to stay late to make sure a problem is solved than to leave it to the next day. Rank: His department is specialized and rather small since it’s a local business, so he’s important but not like a manager or anything. Income: roughly $15/hr Wealth Status: he’s still ‘working-class’ but considering he makes twice the minimum wage, he’s solid enough. Experience: He had a job at the campus bookstore, but that’s about it. Organizations/Affiliations: he’s...not really affiliated with anyone & he doesn’t belong to any organizations. IQ: above average, but still far below genius level Education: The most notable thing about his education is the multicultural nature of it. He’s studied in so many different places so he’s had many different sources of info. School: he didn’t really have just one to nail down Grade: Bs mostly, with some As and the rare C Special Education: He did well in school, but nothing super special. Social Stereotype: Nerd tbh Degrees: still a year shy of earning his degree in Computer Engineering Intelligence: prob a mix of Kinesthetic & Logical Extracurricular Activities: He belonged to a Computer Club briefly before he moved. Religion: vaguely agnostic? Morals: Harming others, harming animals for sure, those are bad things. He can tolerate white lies, but generally honesty is good even if he’s not always 100% honest either. ( Who is? ) Crime Record: he’s got a clean record Motivation: Self-discovery, probably, and seeking the stability he lacked growing up Priorities: Right now he’s not prioritizing things too well. He goes to work when he’s scheduled, so that’s got some priority, but housework isn’t high on his list so his apartment is usually pretty dirty. Philosophy: He’s really go with the flow. Political Party: Prob just on the edge of the Republican party, leaning more Conservative than Liberal? Etiquette: He’s got very good manners, but it’s not like he’s been to any fancy etiquette school. Culture: Nothing that’s particularly noticeable as far as identifying certain behaviors from one culture or another. But things may come up in RP as little tidbits and remnants from his time spent abroad. Influences: There’s still quite a bit of influence from his mother even if she lives quite a ways away. He wants to do her proud and he knows he’s not quite accomplishing that. Sometimes he wonders if his father wanted him to do more, too. As his powers develop, his familiar, Chernobog, will be a significant influence, helping to guide him through the dream world and show him how to answer questions he may have. Relates to: Dalton relates well with others who either were in the military themselves or had family members who were since he can commiserate with the bad & the good. Traditions: Dalton’s family usually celebrated Christmas, or tried to, but it was harder after Perry died because it was such a significant holiday to him. As a general rule Dalton gets a little moody around Thanksgiving & Christmas and hates the over-commercialization of it and how greedy it’s made people. He’d give up anything to have a Christmas with his dad again, even fifteen years after he’s died. Superstitions: Definitely throws salt over his shoulder if he spills any and he avoids walking under ladders.  Main Goal: Discovering the source of his strange dreams & the strange occurrences, then harnessing the magic at their root. Minor Goals/Ambitions: Tracing his father’s lineage to learn more about his magic, finding more people like him with unusual abilities, finding love tbh Career: He’s actually happy where he’s at, but maybe coding his own systems & games eventually. Desires: His father to be alive, to feel closer to his family Wishlist: The newest tech, Junk food if that counts lol, various trinkets, books. always more books., a boyfriend tbh Accomplishments: He got a pretty great job considering he never finished his degree Greatest Achievement: He doesn’t feel like he has a big achievement other than getting his current job. Graduating high school, maybe. Going to college, even if he didn’t finish. Maybe eventually he’ll go back and be able to say he got his degree. Biggest Failure: Probably dropping out of college Secrets: Uh, his degradation kink tbh, and it’s pretty embarrassing for him to realize. Regrets: He doesn’t necessarily regret dropping out because it was the right thing for him at the time, but he regrets disappointing his mom. Worries: Making his bills, of course, but also if he’s doing enough to please his mother & honor his father’s memory Best Dream: Honestly, seeing his father again. And dreamwalking with him, learning about their whole family history of magic. Worst Nightmare: One time he dreamed about his mother’s funeral. He didn’t sleep for two days after. Best Memories: Winning a stuffed animal for his sister at the carnival, even though she ended up giving it to him. He still has it & it stays on his bed. Worst Memories: watching his dad get weaker & weaker in the hospital & eventually dying Hobbies/Interests: Computer gaming, playing pool Skills/Talents: He’s gifted with HTML & CSS coding and does some website design as a hobby. He’s also pretty great at identifying computer problems, that’s actually related to his magic. Likes: Vietnamese food, books on the supernatural/occult, learning about other cultures, cold pizza, snow, the historical Boston brownstones, food stands/trucks Dislikes: tbh he’s not crazy about cooking, really hot days, high humidity, pullover sweaters ( zipper hoodies are where it’s at ), Red Hot candies Sense of Humor: he’s got a bit of a dirty sense of humor but also puns & witty humor is nice. Pet Peeves: People being disgustingly fake nice, especially when they go & talk behind your back afterwords. Gossip in general. Superstitions/Beliefs: um, see above. He has a few small superstitions, but nothing major. Dreams/Nightmares: Lately he’s been dreaming about places he’s never been to in extreme detail, and when he goes to Google them, he’s discovering his dreams were 100% dead on. Quirks: Picks at his beard or his lip when he’s thinking, spritzes a bit of cologne in his hair every morning Savvy: He has a lot of info on various myths in a variety of cultures, particularly where magic is concerned. Computer coding, mostly with HTML/CSS, so web design things. Can't understand: Sports obsessions, tbh Closet Hobby: He likes to play darts. He has spurts of activity where he becomes a Pinterest board whore. Guilty Pleasure: ok on his days off sometimes he likes to catch the marathons of America’s Next Top Model or even Wife Swap and just watch them & eat junk food. He’s not proud of it and lord knows he has a full Netflix queue with better TV. Strengths: Even-keel, Objective, Respectful, Independent, Well-learned, Open-minded Flaws: Overly sensitive sometimes, Withdrawn to the point where he can alienate people without realizing it, worries too much about what his mom will think, Indecisive, Regimented, Locks powerful emotions away instead of dealing with them Perception: Deeply flawed, but fixable Conflicts: He wants his privacy & independence, but he also really wanted someone to share his space with. Instincts: Driven to problem-solve, to find the root of a problem and fix it. He can become frustrated if he encounters a problem that he CAN’T fix, or a problem without a clear solution or multiple solutions. Lures: Historical cities, literate people, people who are different & interesting Soft Spot: He’s a sucker for animals in bad plights. Cruel Streak: Bullies !!!! and just anyone hurting people he loves, even if they hurt them first Powers/Abilities: Ancestral magic tied to his paternal line, giving him the power of dreamwalking in particular among other abilities given exploration & training; also electrical/urban magic;  has an affinity for animals that causes them to be drawn to him; ( when fully manifested ) capable of entering people's dreams and eventually altering them, can create nightmares as well; ( when fully manifested ) capable of easing someone into sleep or waking them up;  Origin: His dreamwalking abilities are inherited through his paternal line, whereas his affinity for urban/electrical magic is more of a spontaneous occurance. Source: Dalton’s dream magic activates when he sleeps, whereas his urban magic is fueled by the technology & power lines around him. Ability: He’s just learning he has abilities at all, so he’s not very capable yet, but has the possibility to be very strong. Weaknesses: still growing into his magic so he doesn't know the full extent of his abilities, nor is he able to control them adequately Immunities: Electrical shock, so he can’t be electrocuted, but also a cardiac resuscitation device would not work on him Restrictions: Most of his restrictions come in how new his powers are to him and his lack of knowledge or training. Theoretically, with training he could grow by leaps & bounds, possibly with very, very few limits. But without a proper guide and without the time to grow into his powers, he may never achieve his full potential. Alternate Forms: none Extra Anatomy: lol he has a third nipple Favorite Colors: Teal Favorite Animals: Cat Favorite Mythological Creatures: Gryphons, or domovoi Favorite Places: in Boston, probably the Boston Public Garden & his fave coffee shop, but out of everywhere he’s been, he really enjoyed Portugal  Favorite Landmarks: The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier Favorite Flavors: Hazelnut, though; Starfruit Favorite Foods: Vietnamese cuisine ( esp. Cơm gà rau thơm ), Gyros Favorite Drinks: Dr. Pepper, Mountain Dew Kickstart, Mint tea Favorite Characters: Aragorn from Lord of the Rings, Owen Hunt on Grey’s Anatomy, Carl on The Walking Dead Favorite Genre: Fantasy / supernatural / disaster movies Favorite Books: The Shannara series Favorite Movies: The Day After Tomorrow, Office Space, The Princess Bride Favorite Games: he’s a fan of horror & survival games, so Evil Within, The Long Dark Favorite Shows: huge Walking Dead fan Favorite Music: varies day to day tbh, but drawn to Indie Rock prob Favorite Bands: Imagine Dragons Favorite Songs: Radioactive Favorite Sports: not really a sports guy, but soccer if anything; pool Favorite Stores: um, bookstores, but more mom & pop than the big Barnes & Nobles Favorite Subjects: History, particularly World History Favorite Numbers: 3 Favorite Websites: lol would it be a surprise to say he’s a Tumblr guy? but also icanhas.cheezburger.com bcuz lolcats are bae Favorite Words: Inconceivable Favorite Quotations: "Life finds a way.” Least Favorite Colors: Orange, pastels Least Favorite Animals: Fish Least Favorite Mythological Creatures: Demons Least Favorite Places: did not like Texas tbh Least Favorite Landmarks: a lot of crowded, overhyped national monuments tbh Least Favorite Flavors: sickeningly sweet things Least Favorite Foods: Game meats like deer, elk; Lamb Least Favorite Drinks: diet sodas, boba tea Least Favorite Characters: god the people at Terminus. he can even handle Negan over them.

Walmart. Least Favorite Subjects: Science, mostly Biology & Physics. He can get into Chemistry to a certain degree. Least Favorite Numbers: the whole controversy surrounding 666 annoys him Least Favorite Websites: Twitter, um...idk Least Favorite Words: Wednesday, purely because of the spelling being totally different from the pronunciation Least Favorite Quotations: he’s not crazy about cliches, though he does get nerdy about the etymology of certain idioms Languages: English, decently fluent in French ( reading / speaking ) & Romanian ( speaking ), bits & pieces of Spanish, Portugese & German Accent: It’s really varied and hard to nail down. Spending more time in Boston, he’s starting to pick up more of that Boston accent, but it’s not super consistent either. Voice: Higher-pitched but not so much so that he sounds “feminine” Speech Impediments: none Greetings and Farewells: He’s pretty informal, so it’s a lot of ‘Hey’ and ‘What’s up?’ and ‘How ya been?’ and ‘See ya later!’ but with figures of authority it’s more formal, with added titles and Sir/Ma’am. State of Mind: generally he’s in a state of ‘good’, like he’s here & he’s not doing horrible, but he’s also not super peppy & excited Compliment: tends to compliment people’s minds/personalities over physical appearance Insult: Just calls people dumb or assholes. Like, the worse thing you can be to him is deliberately ignorant or cruel. Expletive: oh god he knows a lot, in several different languages, too, and he does cuss frequently Laughter: It’s soft and deep, but very rarely he gets carried away and snorts. Tag Line: a lot of ‘uhs’ and ‘um’ and also he’s very big on ‘Yes Sir/Ma’am’ and saying ‘Please’ & ‘Thank you’ Signature Quote: ‘ Work hard, play hard. ’ idkkkkk Reputation: Most people Dalton has come across know he’s a military brat, so he has this reputation for being ‘exotic’ and disciplined. First Impressions: I’d wonder how he has everything so figured out and how he’s so level-headed. Probably think he was too quiet and a little strange. Stranger Impressions: Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if someone thought he was a stoner with how laidback he can be. Or that he’s just a big nerd, or he just stays in his room playing on the computer all day & gets no sunlight & just eats Cheetos. Friendly Impressions: They think he’s a little head-in-the-clouds sometimes, but a great listener and pretty chill. Enemy Impressions: (What do people who can't stand your character think? If you can't think of anyone who hates your character, we have a problem.) Familiar Impressions: They probably wonder how he can be so okay with everything when he’s had very little stability in his life. Compliments: great listener, chill, intelligent Insults: Nerd, geek, weirdo Self-Impression: Honestly he’s still figuring himself out, especially since he’s had so many influences throughout his life. He just knows he tries to be kind and tolerant. MBTI Personality Type: INFJ Temperament: Phlegmatic Enneagram: either The Helper or The Peacemaker Ego/Superego/Id: Ego, I think? The Self: Confident, Relaxed, Not particularly driven, Adventurous The Shadow: He does have a part of him that is super self-conscious, driven by pleasing others. Idk The Anima/Animus: He displays a deep sensitivity and compassion for others, which are often considered traditionally feminine characteristics. Persona/Mask: He’s often okay with being the mysterious new kid, or the quiet weird kid. Sometimes he can get lonely and feel ostracized, though. Role: He’s kind of a follower, but also emotional support. He’s the friend people come to for advice and companionship. Fulfillment: He’s kind of a quiet supporter, but gives advice when needed. Mostly he just tries to listen, since that seems to be what people want more than actual advice. Significance: In the grand scheme of things, maybe he doesn’t matter. But to a few people, he can matter a great deal. He’s a great friend before he’s anything else, and perhaps once he’s learned how to harness his abilities, he can help people further. Alignment: Neutral Good Comparison: (Compare your character to some kind of animal, object, or anything else you can think of.) Symbol: circuitry or other symbols relating to electronics, or a cloud or moon to represent his relation to dreams. also, a large cat about the size of a snow leopard but a deep smoky color like his cat, Chernobog ( actually his dream-guide form ) Song: i’m really bad at finding songs tbh so i’m opting out of this question. for now. i’ll find something suitable in time. Vice: Sloth Virtue: Humility Defining Moment: His dad’s death really defined him because it’s the biggest obstacle he’s faced in his life. His dad was someone who motivated him to pursuit his own interests rather than following in a sense of duty and losing him was very hard. Dalton misses him every day and wishes he could have one last meal with him. It proved he can be strong and internalize his own feelings to put on a good front for his family, even if it’s been detrimental for him in that he’s never fully dealt with that loss. Tropes: god idk...Soft Gay Nerd? Is that a trope? Quiet Gay? I guess the military brat who knows a bunch of languages & lowkey teaches ppl how to cuss in other languages in part to fit in Originality: I think his backstory is unique, and tying in familial magic with other random-born magic. He’s curious and yet also stagnant & content to remain so. One Word: Respectful Character Sheet © Character-Resource
