AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM
Ref pic: Drawn by me!
Name: Aloysious VerBransfeer
Nicknames: Al, Aloy, Ally
Gender: Male/ slightly genderqueer
Age: 16 or so? Unknown exactly!
Faction: Demon
Race: Incubus
Natural Ability:
Charisma? OR Emotion Inspiring as follows:
Aloysious can naturally inspire tasty emotions to nibble on. His focus would be Excitement, not necessarily a positive or pleasant experience is required. ((This can be interpreted to suit a character if they fail their roll they can feel: adrenaline style rush of excitement, manic mood, anxious to mildly titillated if they aren't the type to get worked up over anything)) Al can't attempt this more than 2 times a day and only on separate targets! If he's at any kind of gathering of 3+ people with enough of this mood present, he can simply soak up the emotion that is already present in the crowd.
Personality:
Adopted and raised by boisterous centaur-like monsters (D&D folk think Bauriar), Al's more low-cultured and crass than the "average" demon. Social, friendly, he craves company as a basic need. He doesn't feel any need to fight the Incubi stereotype and has few physical boundaries. Al is fine with what many feel is invasive behavior, though that's probably just as much from living in a small home packed with big, rowdy monster family. Driven to do.... SOMETHING amazing, he has little direction aside from wanting to be a top notch magic user and capitalizing on his natural skills.
He's a bit ignorant of big city stuff, having grown up in the country but isn't intimidated by technology or crowds. His favorite past time is storytelling & looking up new mythos and stories to learn and retell. It's a good way to keep a crowd entertained and he wants nothing more than to keep people close. If his story ramps up someone's excitement to the point that he can soak it up, isn't that a fair exchange for entertaining them?
Al can't resist a new story, the more bizarre or EPIC the better! He's also OVERLY partial to larger individuals, especially those with goat-like features: hooves, horns or natural form in a centaurish type body!
Things he can't resist: Attention, parties, GOSSIP, and new experiences. Clothes are a favorite mode of attracting attention. Interesting stories (mythological type stuff) and songs will get his interest quickly.
Motivated: Of average intelligence, his energy and drive are more important in pursuing his studies. Doesn't sleep much because there is just too much to do (and he worries about others opinions about him). He wants to improve and has a grasp on how little he knows. Awed and impressed by others accomplishments, he uses them as inspiration to improve.
Tolerant: Due to his NEED for others, he's easy going and confident around most folk, not good at being alone for too long unless studying. Al is one of those jerks who can focus at a loud football game or in a library, he's pretty good at balancing work and play. The flip side of this is, he has no personal bubble and will get in your face simply to chat. Boundaries just don't really exist for him and it will be a culture shock to not have friends swamping his personal space. He can talk your ear off or just sit and listen if you need someone to vent to and is adept at providing someone with the kind of company they need. Al can maintain interest in the most mundane of things as long as someone else is excited about it. Teasing doesn't usually bug him, but shaming or shunning him are both dreadfully effective ways to crush his black little heart.
Genderblind: He's not particular about being seen as masculine or feminine, and if someone seems to prefer one over the other, he'll happily play up the traits they want to see or are attracted to. He doesn't call himself gender-queer or fluid, but it's a good label as he's equally comfortable playing up aspects of the masculine/feminine dynamic. Al won't be insulted in the slightest by being called a little ghoul and might take it as a compliment or come on depending on the source ;D He has absolutely no preferences attraction-wise and will flirt with anyone willing to give him positive attention and interest. That doesn't mean he'll deliberately push anyone's boundaries- if they look uncomfortable or uninterested, he adjusts his behavior accordingly to keep them from bailing on him. ANYTHING to keep from being alone! His incubus nature makes him need to please people, and that doesn't have to be in adult ways.
Naive: Aloysious isn't innocent, but he means well. It's a well established personality, as people suspicious of him can be harder to incite and take emotion from. There wasn't much need to become a manipulative person when his basic needs were well met by family. He could be clever enough to become deceptive, but it's honestly too much work for him to play puppet master. The truth is easier to maintain than a web of lies. While he may admire those who can maintain such subterfuge and deception, he'd much rather take advantage of the short-term excitement they cause than work on being more like them in the long-term. The most manipulative he gets is finding out as much as possible about someone's interests so that he can keep them around and talking about it. This usually tends to be his usual MO- most people tend to get excited by having someone to talk to about their FAVORITE thing in the world!
Durable: He's a bit beefier than the average demon. If YOU had to wrestle with giant Nordic goat-taurs everyday, YOU'D probably have some muscles too. Those goat legs make him quite sure-footed and nimble- he can jump pretty well and run fast to keep up with the herd. He's quite used to being chucked around like a football and avoiding a trampling from larger siblings in spite of being older than more than half of them. He can't hold a candle to anyone stronger than average human male, but his attitude/experience keep him bouncing back for more, even when outclassed. This DOES NOT affect his battle or attacks- Boy is smart enough to realize magic is still his major strength, but keep in mind if someone wants to wrassle or goof off in RP, he's not a dainty flower and has pokey bits he will use <3 You will probably damage him more than he will you, but he's tenacious if it's in good fun or for a good cause. He's stoic about suffering, though he'll play it up if there's an attentive being willing to coddle him.
Weak spots: His fingers are quite thin, as are his lower limbs and his wings are sensitive and easy to damage. His pale skin is quick to bruise or scar.
Guilty: The darker side of his driven focus. Quietly retains residual shame over not being a "proper" monster and doesn't fit in well with stereotypical upper-crust demons. Mixed feelings on his heritage will be one of his biggest mental obstacles. Al likes to impress people with his looks/charisma, but may get angsty wishing he were a "better" monster, bigger stronger, louder more stereotypically monstrous, less human looking. He wants to live up to his own expectations, which are higher than reasonable, especially when you consider his parents only want him to be happy.
Spoiled: Al calls home a lot. He was the "baby" of the kids, in spite of being one of the middle-born kids. It's a natural assumption, as he's MUCH smaller and less precocious than the tough Bariur that adopted him. They develop more like horses and goats, whose babies are up and running soon after being born, where he had more of a human style development- which has made him a bit entitled and coddled. Paired with his demonic nature, he's pretty vain and won't think twice to use his sway or looks to get what he's after. It will be a bit of a shock to find people in the world who DON'T appreciate him snuggling up to read over their shoulder or want to spend time with him. Homesickness is a big problem and he'll throw himself into work or play simply to avoid the feeling.
Intimidated: He doesn't dislike other demons, but is slower to initiate interactions with his own species than other Halloween folk. A friendly demon will be fairly easy to approach, but he's shier around them than other species! He's a bit intimidated by the idea of not being demon enough compared to a "real" demon. As much as he wants to be a monster, he assumes others are expecting him to act like a typical demon and doesn't want to be compared to "better" examples of his own species! At times, he may want to rebel against either kind of stereotype, but will usually settle for catering to what his current audience will be most pleased by. He won't be as good at playing a demonic part, as he didn't have many non-monster or undead friend out in the sticks! If he has to deal with less friendly demons, he may get a bit territorial about "his" friends!!!
Lonely: His confidence covers up a desperate need for approval and company. He'll go along with all kinds of things if he thinks it will expand his social circle. No firm sense of self outside a given group, afraid of being alone for long. This is partly biology, partly from hardly being alone in a big family as well as insecurity about who he is. He'll cling to the nearest being in order to not be alone, though sitting quietly in the same room is usually enough in normal circumstances.
Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy?
His parents recognized his magical abilities, wanted to send him to the best school. While they encouraged him, his only reluctance to go would have been feeling guilty over the expense of attending. He's eager to learn and try new things as well, ready to become a productive adult and get a good education.
Why does your character want to come to Amityville as a student?
Al is magically talented (compared to his magic-challenged family anyway.) He feels compelled, quite driven really, to make his family proud by being exceptional somehow. Selfishly, he wants to earn fame (fortune would be pretty nice too!) for being spectacularly good at some.... excellent thing! Al's a bit uncertain about what, optimistic he'll uncover a hidden talent and terrified he won't measure up.
FEAR Ability:
Y1 The Mind.
Y2 Double-Take
Y3 The Bite
With help of natural ability it may be a distraction for his opponent which would result with lower accuracy and and chance of hit. Target gets to choose the kind of excitement/upset caused by a successful roll.
Physical Description:
Eye Colour: Red with gold-yellow sclera, No pupils look
Hair Colour/Style: Wavy Black, A LOT LIKE JOHNNY DEPP'S SWEENEY TODD MANE
Skin Colour: Bluish tint, pale.
Clothing Style/Colours:
Fancier patterns/designs but generally practical for everyday life. Some kind of kilt, egyptian skirt thing or breechclout to cover groin & rump but not entangle legs. If he's out in a location where "fur covers naughty bits" is an acceptable dress code, bottomless is perfectly ok!
Vests, button-down shirts, male corsets, everything will probably need a slit or corsetry in the back to let his spines and wings stick out. Lowback, feminine designs are OK! Looking "girly" or feminine is fine as long as clothes are not really impractical (though for parties, anything goes!) Prefers old fashioned, 20's, victorian + older looking! Usually red, maroon, gold or any other darker jewel tones. If it's not neon, black or clashing with his colors, he'll wear it! Pure black tends to make him too too somber.
Extra:
Satyr-like lower half! He's got goat legs w/ black wavy fur and cherry red hooves and dewclaws. Long whippy tail with silky floofs, one at the end and one about 3/4s the way down.
Bluish white skin is from actually having blue blood. Sharp red claws. Black goat or deer-like ears, cherry red lyre shaped horns come out of his head a few inches into his hairline.
Spines down his back, yellow with red points on tips. Small deep red wings, cherry red claws & goldenrod membranes. Finger-style wings with extra articulations, curl up fairly tightly and wings overall are stunted and membrane only extends halfway down the fingers.
Fingers and legs can look unnaturally spindly and long. Inhuman number of fingers (more not less), artist choice, prefer non-symmetrical number on each hand if possible (6 & 7 or 6 & cool
Dainty fangs, handsome face with strong chin & cheekbones. Reasonable muscled, not a body builder but looks like he'd survive hard labor in a farm setting just fine ^_^
ANYTHING ELSE!
I love critique! If there's something big that ought to be changed I certainly will. I appreciate hearing your reasoning or possible alternatives! I'm easygoing and Mods may always edit anything that is too powerful/inappropriate or vague... THANKS
