Meet My OCs: Irvin Etienne from KOTSAM/KOTDAN ( @keeperofthesunandmoon)

(Thank you to @lizzybeth1986 for the questionnaire form! <3)

Name: Irvin Etienne

Age: 19

Pronouns: He/him

Height: 5 feet and 11 inches 

Hair Color: Black hair . 

Eye Color: Brown.

Family Background: 

Species: Lightning-Drakaina

Best Childhood Memory: It’s a bit of a mix bag. But during an ���after show’ of a school play, one of the parents made this potato salad that he didn’t like. She saw him going to throw it away and ‘lectured’ him how it was rude to throw away someone’s  hardwork. So, he made himself eat it and got sick. (Literally.) Some of the kids made fun of him. He got pretty upset.

His parents aren’t necessarily the mushiest of people but Irvin knows they love him. And moments like this, where his dad cancelled a business dinner to stay home with him, give him a hot shower, and make him canned chicken noodle soup always showed  that. His parents found out the story the next day from one of his friends. His mom called up that other mom and Laid. It. Into. Her. Then a month later they made the time to take him to the special dinner they’d originally planned for him (but that’d been cancelled because he got sick). 

It was one of those things that kept him warm when his parents were so busy or couldn’t make an event. Sure, yeah, sometimes it got disappointing but he knew that at the end of the day, they always had his back. 

Favorite Color: Is the khaki color of cargo allowed? He’s not quite sure? Grey or blue, he  guesses. His mom used to pick a lot of his suits in those colors. 

Favorite Season: Any. Most his sports can be done indoors or outdoors. He’s flexible.

Cat or Dog: Sure! He thinks most animals are cute.

Chocolate or Vanilla: Chocolate

Sweet or Spicy: Sweet.

Coffee or Tea: He doesn’t really like either but he supposes he leans toward tea. 

Best Friend: Cressida Monroe. He wouldn’t call her  his best friend but he really likes Thalia. They have a strong vibe. 

Love Interest: Leon Dalton.

What Initially Attracted Them to Their Partner?: Leon is cute.

And not just physically. Sure, he noticed that but Irvin actually was crushing on Thalia  when Leon came in being his cute self. He’s cute in ways people don’t consider Leon Dalton being cute. Irvin finds Leon’s sweetness to be overwhelmingly so adorable. 

He also thinks it is cute how Leon acts like he’s Too COOL For School but is really just an adorkable goober. He just has a fondness that radiates from his chest whenever he looks upon Leon, and Irvin decided to follow that sensation.

How Do They Express Affection (are they a hugger? More private?): He is relentlessly supportive. He’s more of a sit by your side, give you a shoulder to cry on, is a great listener sort than a hugger. But if that’s what you need, then he’ll give it a go. He’s flexible. His affection is encouraging and supportive and willing to meet you where you need, but also not looking to let you skulk off on your own. He’s your friend and he’s there for you whether you like it or not. I would say Irvin is probably Quality Time with a strong dash of Words of Affirmation (and a willingness toward acts of service; but that last is a more general the boy’s a hero sense). 

Do they Have/Want Children? How Many?: He’s not sure, he thinks maybe one day. It’s not something he really thinks about right now outside of a vague ‘man, i have great parents, i hope im as good as them one day.’ 

Any Pets?: Nope.

Do They Have a Temper?: One would not think he did, at all. But Reyna could attest to the contrary. It’s there. It’s just that Irvin is so sweet and supportive and kind that it’s hard to miss, but if he gets pushed hard enough … it flares like a wildfire. Let sleeping dragons lie, exists for a good reason.

Hobbies?: Sports! 

Do They Hold Grudges?: Generally, no. 

One Random Headcanon: He doesn’t like clowns.
