Name: Cailean Rhys (Pronounced: KA-len)Nicknames: Calen, Rhys, "Hey, you!" has been known to work.
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Faction: Ghost
Race: Cwn Annwn
Natural Ability: Tracking: Once the Cwn Annwn has a scent, they can track down whoever the scent belongs to. Even if they're ghosts.
((Copied from the Barghest natural ability, because the Cwn Annwn, being spectral hounds of the Wild Hunt, it seemed a fitting bleed-over ability. If this is a problem, it's easily changed to either Shapeshifting, or something to make his ghosty translucence look less obvious, if it's not a problem, disregard this text in brackets. biggrin ))
Personality:
Quiet and 'Shy'?: He's pretty quiet and seems shy at first, but, really, he's just trying to get a feel for who he's interacting with, and how they treat others before attempting to engage them in conversation. He is generally fairly quiet, though.
Rebellious? Hah, to an extent...: His guardian was a stuffy old-fashion sort, and he hated it! Oh, he'll wear the ties, but he'll wear them his way. Long sleeves? Nope, not for long... And is it really that wrong to want a ScareStation 3?!
Following the leader, the leader, the leader...: If the leader isn't stupid. Or insulting. Or full of more of that bigoted "I'm better than you." Stuff. Or insists on uniforms... Or... You know what, forget it. (If someone leads, he'll follow... Until he gets annoyed with them over something, then he'll wander off.)
Once bitten, Twice shy: "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. Try it again and I'll rip your face off." Don't kick the dog, he bites. Manipulating, betraying, extorting, and coercing, are likewise ill advised. Poking is at your own discression.
"I licked it, it's mine!": ... Don't get between him and his food, really, don't. (Getting between him and his friends, or hurting/upsetting his friends is also ill advised, he might mistake your hand for food.)
You'll do fine: It's actually pretty hard to upset him in any lasting way, lesser things only annoy or irritate him, insults don't bother him much, the constant bickering of who has a 'better race' isn't something that phases him. Not much does. Don't get caught trying to manipulate him into something, or betray him, and chances are if he sees you hanging around enough, he'll open up a bit more quickly to you, and probably consider you his friend before too long.
Other than that, he likes Fireplaces, books, learning new things, and meeting new people... And did I mention he likes food?
Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? His caretaker, being particularly old fashioned and well off, got sick of having him around underfoot causing trouble, so as a parting gift, they shoved him off to enroll at the Academy. And, glad to be away from the stuffy manor for good, he jumped at the opportunity. -Anything- to get away from that... And that it means he can meet others his age, all the better! Maybe he'll even learn a few things along the way.
FEAR Ability: FEAR Ability type- The Mind - 'Hunter's Voice': The growling of a Cwn Annwn is loudest when they are at a distance, and as they draw nearer, it grows softer and softer. This contradiction in typical attack behavior along with slight voice projection is prone to confuse or unnerve people, making them a little less accurate with attacks sometimes.
Physical Description:
Eye Colour: Red
Hair Colour/Style: Slightly shorter than shoulder length shaggy mop of light brown hair.
Skin Colour: pale dusty faded peach.
Clothing Style/Colours: ((His caretaker insisted on him dressing 'nice', whatever that meant, so some fashion sense wound up stuck with him.)) The bracelet adorned with a small animal skull, and the belt buckle was his choice, otherwise his closet full of nice black pants, button-up shirts (in dark reds, forest greens, and deep blues), and ties... Not his first choice, but it's comforting, and comfortable enough, once he undoes a few buttons and rolls the sleeves up.
Extra: Obvious canine ears, more prone to flopping over than staying perked up, and a long scruffy fluffy tail~
