HIGH MUSE ❝and the Raven, never flitting,❞ - Piper Ale Whitte - 03-29-2018 BIRTH & FULL NAME His full name is Piper Ale Whitte. His first name literally means "one who plays the pipes or flute" or "a person who plays a pipe, especially an itinerant musician". However, he does not play any sort of instrument. He choose this as a first name after hearing what a "piper" is and thought it to be good sounding name for himself. It is a given that his middle name is "a type of beer with a bitter flavor and higher alcoholic content." Thus, one has to wonder why he choose it as a middle name. The first place Piper found himself on Earth was a wine cellar and, after hearing about different alcoholic beverages, decided to first give this to himself as a last name. He had heard of humans having first, middle, and last names. Thus, at the time, he thought it to be a good last name. However, later on, it was shifted to be his middle name. His last name is a variation of the word "white". Piper had encountered a man on the street who introduced himself as "Mr. Whitte". Later on, he thought it to be a fitting last name for himself. Considering the state of Piper's mind, it is curious how he has managed to hold on to his name, above all else. Nonetheless, he has been able to cling to it for this long. alias & pet names // He has been given a number of nicknames, namely "Pip" by the few over hundreds of years who likend to call him friend. Years ago, when he was trapped in a beastly state once again, he received alias such as "Monstro", "The Beast", "Big Guy", and "Beastie". At one point, a young wolf named him "Leviathan", but it never stuck. TITLES Hundreds of years ago, he was called "Black Death" by a group of humans. The reasons for being bestowed with such a horrendous title was due to him being trapped in a beastly state at the time. This beastly state caused him to be hyper-aggressive and attack anything in sight. Whenever he showed up in human villages, the deaths of many often ensued. At one time, some humans referred to him as "The Lithe", the word "lithe" meaning to be "thin, supple, and graceful." He had obtained such a title due to him always seeming to shift and transform with a strange sense of grace. One could rightly say that it would seem that he takes great care and puts a lot of thought into his transformations. AGE When one takes his appearance into consideration, it would appear impossible to guess or determine his age from his appearance. Moreover, since his birthdate is unknown even to him, his actual age could not be accurately resolved. One could rightly guess that he is over hundreds of years old. birth date & place // His true birth date and place are unknown; though, it is assumed that his original birth place would be on his home planet. If his "birthplace" on Earth were the first location he recalled being on Earth, then it would be in an wine cellar underneath an abandoned, burnt down home in the middle of a wooded area somewhere in Oregon. The day at which he arrived on Earth was June twenty-fifth. SEX & GENDER IDENTITY Pip doesn't necessarily have an identifiable sex. He is - for lack of better term - an it, otherwise known as agender, due to him having a lack of sex organs. Piper could be considered non-binary, as he has the tendency to shift between identifying as masculine or feminine. However, more often than not, he will preferably want to be referred to by masculine pronouns. Though, he doesn't show any offense to being called an "it". text ❝still is sitting, still is sitting❞ - Piper Ale Whitte - 03-29-2018 text RACE/SPECIES Piper is of an unknown extraterrestrial race that has yet to recieve a proper name. However, if you want to define his species as what he literally is, then he may be called an "extraterrestrial ooze monster" - or, simply, "alien." Though, it may be worth noting that the unwitting tend to refer to him as just an "ooze monster" or "ooze creature." information // Not much is known about Piper's species, but some information can be provided through Piper's own knowledge. Once every five years this creature must devour a weak animal or creature of some kind (though moderately large animals are preferred) by means of engulfing them in their ooze and breaking them down for use of their cells. It has been concluded that the cause for their need for host cells is due to the fact that they are what powers their ability to communicate through telepathy, as well as the ability to shapeshift. Host cells also provide them with their sense of sight. It should be worth noting that animals in which are weak to some extent are preferred for consumption. The reasoning as to why rests in the simple fact that they are much easier to take down in comparison to healthier creatures. Another matter that may be worth noting is their preference for colder environments due to the amount of heat that they produce. known languages // English and the language of his people are the two languages that he knows and retains. The language of his people has both a written and spoken form. In writing it appears as a square shaped gathering of complex lines - almost like Japanese. In spoken form it consists of a series of, what are referred to as, chirps. However, they aren't like bird chirps. As a matter of fact, it sounds like a flute being played in most cases. Because of the way it sounds, there is no way to determine if it is feminine or masculine. VOICE Piper can only speak through telepathy and is unable to control what his voice sounds like to others. Thus, its interpretation is as various as the people. It ignites within their minds whatever they want to hear, which could include those they may have known previously or know currently. However, no matter what voice or accent he carries towards others, he will still be able to accentuate and alter his tone naturally. APPEARANCE Pip is made entirely out of a black, gooey substance that can transform itself into whatever it desires. Therefore, it would seem that he doesn't have one single true appearance. In reality, he does have a true form, which is simply a three by three foot long mass of black goop. Whatever form he takes on will be pitch black in color. Just like the color of his forms, his eyes never change - they constantly remain white and are often described as "little glowing moons". Any hair, fur or feathers seen in any of his forms are actually made out of thin strands of goop, and feels as if it were always wet or damp. His body can obtain any sort of mutation or abnormality at any given moment for his body can morph and create varying alterations. It can even take on seemingly impossible forms. Therefore, what mutations he can have is virtually limitless. Even though the appearances of any of his forms are subject to change at any point in time, there are a few traits that often materialize upon his body. Piper has the tendency to enjoy smaller forms as they use less energy, as well as less extremities. The less extremities and the smaller his size, the less surface area he has, and (therefore) the less heat he will produce. Piper does not withhold any scars at this time. Given what his body is, many may come to believe that he cannot have scars as he does not have any tissues. To some degree, this is correct. However, if a part of him is burned via fire, extreme heat, or electricity, then those parts of his ooze will die and be unable to shift and change form. These parts of him will appear leathery, cracked, and hardened. This scarred ooze is often not around for long, peeling and falling off as a mushy, dry mass or in thin layers days or weeks after being inflicted. attire // Piper does not have any body modifications (i.e. tattoos, piercings) and does not wear any clothing. He doesn't see any need in wearing anything but does not make any objections towards what others wear. Though, that is not to say that he questions it to some small degree, depending on the individual. ailments// Piper does not have any illnesses at this time. x「 ✦FORMS 」 list them here ━ "name/type of form" (un)discovered — #% mastered [think of the "mastered" is how capable they are of shifting into it/how well they can control it and measure the percentage by that] ( description of form here ) [height & weight; include fur/feather color, length and texture; how/what places the length and texture may differ; color & texture of scales, shape & length of ears if they have any visible; color, shape and any other characteristics of their eyes; number of eyes, legs and other appendages; wings, dexterity, tail length] attire // answer here ailments // answer here ━ "name/type of form" (un)discovered — #% mastered ( description of form here ) attire // answer here ailments // answer here ━ "name/type of form" (un)discovered — #% mastered ( description of form here ) attire // answer here ailments // answer here x「 ✦CARRIED ITEMS 」 Piper does not carry any items at this time. ━ "item" ( description ) [if some sort of container, include what's inside] ━ "item" reference ( description ) [if some sort of container, include what's inside] ━ "item" [url=http://]reference ( description ) [if some sort of container, include what's inside] ❝on the pallid bust of pallas❞ - Piper Ale Whitte - 03-29-2018 x「 ✦WEAPONS 」 Piper does not carry any weapons at this time. ━ "name of weapon" #% mastered ( description of weapon here ) ━ "name of weapon" #% mastered ( description of weapon here ) ━ "name of weapon" #% mastered ( description of weapon here ) x「 ✦ABILITIES 」 telepathy, shapeshifting, and shrinking/growing. ━ "telepathy" discovered — 78% mastered ( Piper's body has no bones, skin, tissue, organs or anything a normal being would have. In result of the fact that he has no organs, he also has no vocal cords. However, there is a small amount of a special kind of ooze that is produced within him. It is generated throughout is "body", but concentrated in random areas that change from moment to moment; however, one constant is that (at least) some portion of ooze can be found poking through the head areas of his various forms to act as eyes. This kind of ooze is significantly different from the rest of what makes him up. It is actually white in coloration, which can suggest one of its purposes - sight. This ooze generates electric pulses and is created partially from the energy he can create, his own ooze and a gathering of cells that was taken from his "host". The white ooze in his head is used for thought processing and telepathy. He is unable to control what his voice sounds like when using telepathy. People who "hear" it can perceive it however they like. In other words, they basically hear what they want to hear. The white ooze found in his neck is used for a rather odd form of communication only understood by himself and possible future generations. ) ━ "shapeshifting & shrinking/growing" discovered — 100% mastered ( Piper's body is made of black goop that can morph itself, developing multiple mutations and aberrations of his desire. It can also force itself to grow in size. When he grows in size, his body will mass produce toxic chemicals. When these chemicals come in contact with the air he "breathes" it generates a reaction. This reaction causes the chemicals to change into the very goop he is made of and expand to a certain degree. His body will generate quite a bit of energy when doing so, energy that is caused by the chemicals reacting to oxygen. This energy, instead of wiping him out, causes him to gain more energy to burn. The more he grows in size, the more chemicals produced, the more reaction and (thus) more energy. However, when the goop is no longer producing the energy, it will obviously begin to use it up. If his body uses up all the energy he will grow weak and rapidly shrink back into his true form. Piper will then have to rest before attempting to grow in size once more. It is said that if he pushes himself too far his body will shrink down further and further past his natural size until he completely disappears. If he simply grows to the size of a human, his body will use a very low amount of energy at a slow rate. However, if he grows to the size of (for example) a buffalo, then his body will use more energy at a more rapid rate. This is why, in larger forms, his body will develop transparent sacks inside of itself as stores for more energy. The bigger the form, the larger the sacks. If he grows to the size of an elephant, then the sacks will get so large they will begin to break through his "skin". The chemicals within these sacks are bright green in color and pulsate with tremendous energy. If too much energy is produced Piper can become extremely dangerous. The sacks can grow to such an astounding size that they will begin to cover his whole body. He can become a walking time bomb for multiple reasons. One is the fact that, if one were to pop from the pressure, the chemicals could flood the surrounding landscape and - upon contact with air - rapidly form into ooze and attempt to make its way back to the main body. However, one wouldn't have to worry too much about the sacks being popped, for it is an enormous pain to do so. The sacks, despite appearance, can take all sorts of bullets, knives and swords without so much as a scratch. Another thing to worry about is the fact that these chemicals pulsate with negative energy which produce emotions like rage, anger and bloodlust. Therefore, if he grows too large, then he will attack anything that moves. When he is angered and/or aggravated, it would be unwise to touch him. The goop can become hot and sticky when he becomes one or both of such states. Shrinking is a careful and slow process for Pip, much unlike growing. In order to shrink, the goop must use the reverse process of growth. Once the goop is back in chemical form, a portion of it is selected for the size of the form he will become, including some extra as storage for later. As for the rest, there's nowhere for it to go but out. Therefore, Piper will have to throw up whatever chemicals need be; but something else must be done before that. As we all know, these chemicals will turn into goop upon contact with air. The chemicals must be deluded by another chemical produced within him. This chemical and the deluded chemicals are by no means toxic. One can actually touch them and be okay, they can even be eaten. However, that doesn't mean they will taste good. Once deluded, the chemicals will be thrown up and left behind for the Earth to break down or an animal to eat. Naturally, this goop can harden, soften and change its texture. This way, when changing into a certain form, it can instinctively develop the necessary bone structure in order to stand and pull it's weight around. The bones that have been formed within him can obviously be broken with enough force, just like any other creature that withholds bones. Broken bones will obviously heal given the opportunity, just like they can in other creatures, but may heal faster than those of normal animals. Piper's body can be wounded and can feel pain; however, he does not bleed. Ooze that gets displaced by slashes, cuts, or by being stabbed or impaled, among other things, will take time to heal. He will likely heal up within, at most, a day or two from such wounds. If sharp objects, bullets and other weapons penetrate the ooze, it will often uncontrollably be sucked into it if it is not already being pulled out. Once sucked in, it will suddenly be shot back out haphazardly. If the ooze has become hot, weapons can become at least partially melted before being spat out of him. In result of him obtaining not a trace of what creatures on Earth have, he cannot be poisoned. When poison enters his body, the goop will identify it as a foreign contaminant and push it back out of his body. However, certain poisons will be absorbed and turned into energy. There are quite a bit of other things his body will absorb; such as any edible substance, including other chemicals. ) OVERALL extreme physically | extreme mentally — Difficulty is determined on a basis of skill with an opponent of the same size and life experience, and without the use of weapons or powers. It will obviously fluctuate with different opponents. DEFENSE moderately high | low defense against powers — 0% against electricity | 0% against air | 60% against water | 0% against fire | 0% against earth | 40% against emotion manipulation | 0% against memory manipulation — Piper's capabilities usually rest in evading attacks and attempting to confuse the opponent while doing so. Often, dodging involves manipulating his form instead of keeping the one he is in and leaping out of the way. When he dodges, his body will stretch in the direction he is going before the length of his body jerks and sways out of the way of the attack. Then, the lower half of him will catch up with the rest and condense into a smaller form. He will often pull apart parts of himself and warp himself in whatever way he believes will best help him avoid harm. OFFENSE high — Piper's method of fighting is actually quite aggressive unless his foe or foes possess one of his major weaknesses, like fire. Once Piper has avoided an attack, he will often immediately counter the opponent. His main goal is always to overtake and overwhelm, forcing himself in close proximity and even on top of his foe(s). He will then aim to warp himself around them and restrain them, then (if necessary) kill them via restriction, suffocation, or with extreme heat. Once Piper has successfully managed to restrain another, it can be extremely difficult to pry oneself out of his grasp. — Piper is one who can handle small groups almost just as well as individuals. When it comes to groups, he will often try to stun those who appear to be less of a threat first. Moreover, despite being one who likes to be in the air, Piper fairs better in battle on land than in the air. Piper also doesn't like to fight in the water, but he is capable of doing so. On another note, if he is put up against a larger group, he is more likely to flee than to fight. WEAKNESSES — Piper is especially sensitive to electricity, fire, lava, and even himself. If he allows himself to grow too hot from producing energy then he will literally melt himself. As a side note, it is possible to suffocate him, in a sense. Though he will not die, he will shrink down into his true form once he runs out of energy. He will then remain paralyzed until he is able to breathe in oxygen again. text ❝just above my chamber door;❞ - Piper Ale Whitte - 03-29-2018 text KEY FEATURES hypocritical, intelligent, and analytical. ━ Piper is often viewed to be the epitome of pessimism. Yet, he denies his pessimistic nature and insists that he simply views situations in the perspective of what he considers to be realistic. As a matter of fact, he looks down upon those who are optimistic, saying that they "blind themselves with false beliefs". He especially looks down upon those who are optimistic in certain situations, such as those where there is little to no chance of a positive outcome. Some of Pip's most prominent traits are intelligence, curiosity, and a strange aura of wisdom. One could say that he loves flaunting his intelligence for he seems to jump on any opportunity. However, he sees himself as simply correcting other's mistakes or pointing things out that others may not know. This, coupled with his realistic views, results in him pointing out others flaws, whether it be about themselves or the ideas they come up with. It can be derived from these action that Piper could be arrogant, believing himself to be so much better than everyone else that he must point out the flaws of those "beneath him". However, he does not see himself as arrogant. As a matter of fact, he claims that he only views himself realistically. He analyzes his own flaws and strengths to determine how he would fair in various situations and how he compares to others when their capabilities are considered. It is from there that one could come to the assumption that Piper does a lot of people watching or stalking. Truthfully, he actually does - he spends most hours of the day carefully observing others. Piper likes to do these things as he is fascinated by other living creatures, both from their biology and behaviors - though, he finds the latter more interesting. He is also intrigued by what others conceal and makes it his obligation to discover the secrets of others. Though, it wouldn't be for gossip or bragging rights but instead for the simple sake of curiosity. Piper could very well be the definition of how one must carefully choose who they share their personal feelings and thoughts with. It is from here that we can discuss the fact that Piper can be rather sadistic. He actually frowns upon those who reflect their pain in body language and expressions. He feels that, by doing so, they are revealing the fact that they are weak. At times, Piper can even be aloof and oblivious to other people when it comes to intense emotions. One could be in tears next to him and he would pay no mind; one could be showing clear signs they are upset with him and he would just ignore them all the while. As a matter of fact, the more someone shows negative feelings towards him, the more he avoids them. He believes these actions to be only fair in result of theirs. Another thing to note about him is how unnaturally calm he is around violence. Not only this, but he is able to remain poised under pressure and in moments of desperation and despair, which could mean that he is somewhat optimistic. Piper is ruled by logical and cynical thinking. He takes what he has learned in the past, which has become simple feelings in his gut and blurs of color, and what he has seen in people to determine the reason for the actions those take around him and even towards him. He pushes the boundaries of what is appropriate to inquire in a conversation and finds ways to ask just the right kind of questions to get information out of people. Piper has an insatiable thirst for knowledge that will never be satisfied. This thirst is often what pulls him along through life, reaching and grasping for anything that he believes can prove to him to be useful on a quest even unknown to himself. This quest, this drive, is deeply rooted in his core. It was first created by him so long ago as a means of distraction. With the troubles of memory loss, he spins around in circles on a desperate search for the answer of his origins and his purpose for existence. When not occupied by his search in one form or another, he can end up drawing himself away from others. His confused and perturbed thoughts on what and who he really is envelop and drawn him in their depths. They plague his mind relentlessly, tormenting him with the fact that he can never seem to recall anything that he feels that he needs to. Piper has a great need to be alone all the time, but he cannot due to the questions that consume him. Thus, he bides his time being in unwanted company, going as far as to be around those he hates to complete strangers. It is in his search for knowledge and fascination with Earthly creatures that he is willing to do some unorthodox behaviors as forms of "experiments". He becomes one to appear to have boundaries, invading others personal space at the possible cost of his own health and safety. Piper can and will lean far to close to strangers and fun his paws through others fur to test them or even get some form of sensation of their bodies. This can be quite unsettling for others, especially when his lack of nerves is taken into consideration. Even though he has no nervous systems, he still has some form of "sensation". However, slight or soft touching/rubbing of any kind cannot be felt on his part. Thus, he can be a bit on the rough side in his attempts to feel. He is actually fascinated by feeling itself, and some would dare say he is addicted to it from the level in which he pries at others. As a matter of fact, he is actually obsessed with the feeling of fur, hair, and feathers. However, much to the surprise of many, he will react offensively should one try to touch him. He hates to be the one on the receiving end of physical contact. This, obviously, is quite ironic considering his way of "no boundaries" towards others. In other matters, Piper is unable to relate to the feeling of hunger, thirst, and sleep. Despite the previous fact, he obtains an obsession for certain sweet foods. He thrives on the energy he produces and given the fact that it is (indeed) energy, he doesn't need sleep. However, in his attempts to sleep he claims that it is a most unpleasant feeling. Because of the energy he produces, he also hates sitting still, believing that he his wasting the energy he is creating. He actually will become fidgety or even begin to twitch if he sits still for too long. Despite everything, Piper does have a soft side. As a matter of fact, in a few aspects, he looks at the world through a child's eyes, which is quite surprising. He is easily fascinated by beauty in nature, airborne creatures (specifically birds), snow, anatomy, water, and especially oddities in nature, among other things. One of his favorite hobbies is collecting, his favorite item to hoard being feathers. His favorite things to study are eyes, stars and constellations. Pip is captivated by the eyes of any living creature, claiming that they are "windows to the soul," as cliche as that might sound. It is due to this that he actually has a distaste for those with dull eyes, those who seem to lack emotion in them, and even those who are crazy. He dislikes emotions in eyes being stagnant, claiming that that's "not what they're there for". He also obtains a love for books and can become exceptionally overjoyed within libraries and quite enjoys the smell of old books. In his perspective, they provide him with images of worlds he will never come to meet. One might question his liking towards books since he has trouble sitting still. However, he resolves this by standing and walking around when reading. He is also rather obsessed with order, even with the finest of details. If he stumbles upon a messy room, or one not arranged to his liking, he will clean and organize it immediately. Even if the room is occupied by someone else - or simply is within a house that is not his - he will still "assign their belongings to their proper place," often without permission to do so. MENTAL ILLNESS(ES) Piper appears to suffer from some form of amnesia in which most all memories are only able to be kept temporarily. MEMORY Piper is one who can keep memories for a certain period of time and, within that timespan, recall them with surprising clue clarity. However, if a memory or piece of knowledge is not used for a certain period of time, then it will be permanently forgotten. PHOBIAS Piper would appear to have pyrophobia (fear of fire) and astrophobia (fear of storms). MANIAS Piper's continuous search for more knowledge could be considered a mania. HABITS/QUIRKS Among his quirks is his inability to sit still, his tendency to organize/clean up others' rooms, his lack of boundaries towards others but dislike of others touching him, and the fact that he doesn't realize when he is staring far too much. MANNERISMS & DEMEANOR When it cones to Piper's posture, it changes from moment to moment. Sometimes he is slouched and, in other times, he idles with his back straight. Posture doesn't necessarily matter to him as he - not being a creature made of flesh of bone - does not have to worry about damage to the "bones" of his body as a result of it. When Piper moves about, sometimes he carries the stride normal for the form he currently possesses; at other points in time, his legs will merge together and he will seemingly slide or snake around with an almost hallucinogenic grace. Nevertheless, Piper seems to be in a constant state of movement; even if he appears to be sitting still, the surface of his body ripples and shifts. The longer he remains in one place, the more his surface seems to move. It will progress to shuddering and twitching to accompany the constant sifting. As that occurs, the rippling of his form with grow more and more prominent. Eventually, it will reach the point of more mutations and extremeties forming and dissipating with increasing speed and size. As far as Piper's expressions go, he usually appears to have a blank slate or neutral expression. He does not usually do this to appear cold and robotic (which is how others may perceive him). Instead, he actually often forgets to express himself, as hard as that is to believe. His mind tends to be so focused on the activity he's engaging in or on taking in information that he doesn't emote, even to express interest or fascination. This also often has the adverse effect of others thinking that he is bored and, thus, ending the conversation. That, in turn, leaves Piper confused as to why they cut their talk short. The most Piper usually does when it comes to expressing himself is through the size and/or amount of eyes that he shows. His white ooze is the most vulnerable part of his body; thus, unless it is to help the ooze escape his excess heat, the increased revealing of the white ooze is a sign of trust. x「 ✦HOBBIES & SKILLS 」 His only hobbies at the moment would appear to be his search for knowledge, people watching, and reading books. ❝and his eyes have all the seeming❞ - Piper Ale Whitte - 03-30-2018 x「 ✦INTANGIBLE 」 PERSONALITY TYPE intj-a | "the architect" 40% Extraverted // Introverted 60% 84% Intuitive // Observant 16% 83% Thinking // Feeling 17% 61% Judging // Prospecting 39% 99% Assertive // Turbulent 1% ━ "A paradox to most observers, Architects are able to live by glaring contradictions that nonetheless make perfect sense – at least from a purely rational perspective. For example, Architects are simultaneously the most starry-eyed idealists and the bitterest of cynics, a seemingly impossible conflict. But this is because Architect personalities tend to believe that with effort, intelligence and consideration, nothing is impossible, while at the same time they believe that people are too lazy, short-sighted or self-serving to actually achieve those fantastic results. Yet that cynical view of reality is unlikely to stop an interested Architect from achieving a result they believe to be relevant." ALIGNMENT Chaotic Neutral. ━ "A chaotic neutral character follows his whims. He is an individualist first and last. He values his own liberty but doesn't strive to protect others' freedom. He avoids authority, resents restrictions, and challenges traditions. A chaotic neutral character does not intentionally disrupt organizations as part of a campaign of anarchy. To do so, he would have to be motivated either by good (and a desire to liberate others) or evil (and a desire to make those different from himself suffer). A chaotic neutral character may be unpredictable, but his behavior is not totally random. He is not as likely to jump off a bridge as to cross it."

They may be bewildered, ineffectual, deluded, or merely apathetic. More often an antihero is just an amoral misfit. While heroes are typically conventional, anti-heroes, depending on the circumstances, may be preconventional (in a "good" society), postconventional (if the government is "evil") or even unconventional. Not to be confused with the Villain or the Big Bad, who is the opponent of Heroes (and Anti-Heroes, for that matter). ) ━ "the cynic" ( A character who believes that the world is, to put it lightly, a bad place. Whenever they describe something, expect them to Accentuate the Negative. If someone puts forward an idealistic or optimistic premise, The Cynic is about equally likely to respond with 'That's moronic,' as 'That's a nice idea in theory, but it's never going to happen', probably pointing out all the flaws as they go. This character may be angry or indifferent to their (perceived) Crapsack World, or may be heavily critical and sarcastic. ) ━ "lack of empathy" ( . . . a character who lacks empathy can still be perfectly capable of cognitive empathy; that is, the ability to recognise and identify an emotion — they might not be able to share in somebody's happiness or sadness, but they have learnt well enough what happiness or sadness look like, and coupled with the lack of remorse, this tends to result in a ruthlessly effective Manipulative Bastard. ) ━ "no sense of personal space" ( Somebody with No Sense of Personal Space may keep their targets of uncomfortable closeness down to one person, or they might be like this with everyone. The character might be a Cloudcuckoolander that just doesn't know better, or they may just really, really like you (or everyone), and just don't let some bothersome "social etiquette" get in the way of it. Then again, they just might be trying to get you riled up for sh^ts and giggles. This tendency usually comes with inappropriate uses of First-Name Basis. ) ━ "hypocrite" ( People — particularly those with authority, be it moral or political — are expected to act in a manner in accordance with the ideals they espouse. That is to say, they should practice what they preach. Those who don't are hypocrites. The dichotomy here is that they may fervently and honestly believe what they say is right and good... they just don't have the moral strength or willpower to consistently live up to their own high standards. ) ━ "dark is not evil" ( So, you have a race of people who all have black, leathery wings. They're born with the ability to shoot black, shadowy globs out of their hands. Also, they prefer the night, and let's not get started on their wardrobes. Surely, they're evil! Well... no one actually mentioned them doing bad things; in fact, they may actually be pretty good guys. It's not like they keep pet dogs exclusively for kicking. Despite any images that may have been burned into our minds, creepy appearances and killing people actually don't have much to do with each other. Unfortunately, however, people can still judge them based on their looks. ) ━ "determinator" ( There is no stopping the Determinator. They do not understand tact. They do not Know When to Fold 'Em, and it's a waste of time to tell them the odds. No one can reason with them. They'll do whatever they have to without question. No price is too great to pay for success, up to and including their own life. ) ━ "the drifter" ( Like a gust of wind, The Drifter quietly blows into a troubled town. He's low key, and usually The Quiet One that's not looking for trouble. He'll rarely raise the interest or curiosity of the townspeople or the Big Bad that's been slowly draining the town of all life and money. Usually, he just wants an odd job to make ends meet before leaving again, the implication being that he's either running from someone or Walking the Earth for the fun of it or for finding a good home for him/her/itself. ) ━ "the quiet one" ( This character isn't The Speechless, and is "definitely" not The Voiceless. Nor are they the Ineffectual Loner. He or she (or it) just rarely talks, so anything which IS said carries extra weight. In most instances, The Quiet One is physically imposing, and is either The Big Guy or The Lancer - perhaps also a Gentle Giant or Genius Bruiser. ) ❝and the lamp-light o’er him streaming❞ - Piper Ale Whitte - 03-30-2018 ALLIANCE(S) answer here rank // answer here previous affiliations // answer here IMMEDIATE RELATIVES Piper has no known relatives.
