Aaaaahhh, I've basically no idea what I'm doing. =w=
AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM Name: Valeryk Jenora Respin (Vahl-err-ick Jen-oar-uh Rez-pen)
Nicknames: Val, Jen, Hey you
Gender: Hermaphrodite - specimens of Val’s species physically shift between male and female due to environmental stimuli (temperature, amount of light, presence of pheromones, stress levels, capability to efficiently and effectively produce offspring), as is the case with some plants. The change comes along more quickly in monster form, due to a striking lack of more differentiated organs. However, with the pin keeping him in a human-like state most of the time, with what I assume are humanish-functioning organs, Val tends to sit in the in-between for several days each time he goes through the change. It is not instantaneous, and it is not often. As a general rule of thumb, spring and summer are female seasons, while fall and winter are male seasons. Due to the frequently changing hormones associated with teengers, I doubt he’ll stick to this rule. As for gender identity: he doesn’t care what you call him (he, she, it- though he is against ‘they,’ considering he is still
one person). He isn’t of a mind to correct people each time his gender changes, so use whichever pronoun you will. Throughout the quest, I change pronouns readily. However, when writing, I’ll use the pronoun that is his correct sex at the time. If he’s mid-change, it’ll be the pronoun of his most recent sex. Example: if changing from male to female, I’ll still use ‘he’ as his pronoun.
Age: While in her thirties, she has the mindset and general appearance of a fifteen-year-old.
Faction: Monster
Race: Bioluminescent Achaceacota (glowing spider fungus cluster)
Natural Ability: Achaceacota can secrete a sticky, ooze-like type of webbing from the ends of their extremities. While in monster form it seeps from between the lining of their filaments. However, in human form and at her age it is limited to secretions from her fingertips and mouth. Predominantly used to capture and sedate small prey animals, Val has a bad habit of losing control of it when she’s hungry or excited. Too much of it smells very unpleasant.
Personality: First, some Achaceacota details. Spider fungus tends to live the vast majority of their lives in one place. They are not sedentary, so are capable of movement, which is a good thing, because they are
violently territorial. They form family clans that take on the protection and responsibility of small forested areas and become rather upset if any other species tries to move in.
That being said, Val herself has never had much interaction (outside the hazing and harassment of poor souls that wander too close to her home) with anyone outside of her clan. She is cautious of her classmates (not for fear of them, mind you), but openly inquisitive and doesn’t give much thought to personal space. She pokes, she probes, she asks questions and doesn’t show a great preference or distaste of other races, factions, or species.
Despite this, she dislikes talking about herself. She feels at a disadvantage dealing with peppier, more bubbly and more interesting/beautiful students. Since Val is extraordinarily uncomfortable with her ‘human’ form, she disengages most attempts to get emotionally close to her and becomes hyper flustered, abashed, humiliated, and embarrassed when someone manages it. The spike in emotions does nothing to help her physically, and she tends to make situations worse for herself.
She tires easily and is often in need of a retreat away from others.
Despite her reservations regarding herself, an angry or hurt Val is a vindictive Val. She lashes out with the same violence of her species if she feels threatened and is not in the habit of being forgiving. She will go out of her way to make herself feel better; stealing classmates things, putting gum in hair, leaving partially decayed prey remainders in people’s beds. Valeryk doesn’t like to be upset. Scream a little. Cheer her up, hm?
Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? Val has
very poor control over her natural abilities, unknowingly abusing them to the point of exhausting herself. Hopefully she can fix this?
FEAR Ability: I’m a little foggy on FEAR still, so I’m sorry that this isn’t too descriptive.
Tainted Fang- Valeryk spits up toxic spores that have a chance to afflict the target with poison.
Physical Description: Eye Colour: Luminous violet. I’d love it if they were these
big, round, glossy spider eyes.
Hair Colour/Style: Val has chin-length umber-ish (dark red brown) hair that ends in neat little waves near her shoulders. It’s threaded through with the same bright violet as her eyes.
Skin Colour: Dark purple (think eggplant), with mottled, fungus-like patchings of the same color as her hair and shining violet filaments.
Clothing Style/Colours: I actually don’t have a preference for this.
Extra: This too I’d like to leave up to the artist. (S)he is supposed to be androgynous.
