[align=center][color=white]APPEARANCE.
[color=transparent]claire loves u! |
Faceclaim: Ruth Neega
Voiceclaim: Lupita Nyong'o
Description: August is a thin individual with a rather low fat content on their frame, the only thing keeping them from reaching the underweight point is the fact that they've been built from years and years of endless farmwork and manual labour. They are incredibly muscular with wide shoulders and powerful arms along with strong, thick rider's legs. They measure 5'6 in stature, not very small but not quite tall either. They have a heart-shaped sort of face with round features, a small chin and deep russet eyes. Their golden skin is rather scarred, especially at the hands and arms where farmwork came with its accidents. Their hands and fingers are heavily calloused from such work. Their curly, wavy hair is a pitch black shade, often kept at a short-to-medium length and is of the 3a hair type.
Fashion: August has a rather old-fashion type of style. Collared shirts, work pants, and suspenders are common in their casual attire, though nothing worn is too fancy for they typically wear their clothing down quickly with all the work they do. Back in their homestead, they used to wear a lot of hand-made clothes from animals hides and wool, and although they still wear these, it is typically worn on colder days or during travel. Some of this hand-crafted outerwear includes a pair of deerhide and coyote fur boots, beaverskin mits, a deer hide vest, a pair of angora wool chaps and on especially cold months, a buffalo hide coat.

TW FOR DEATH AND SUICIDE
August's father was a married man from the heart of Kenya who, after making enough money, immigrated to America in order to study agriculture in West Virginia. The couple developed a dream together, their dream was to purchase several acres of their own land, build their own home, their own stables, their own library. They wanted to grow their own crops and raise their own cattle, raise their own horses. And so they did. They had a lovely child born in the heat of summer and worked together as a family. Their homestead was built by hand, and just in time. A few years afterwards, the Blackout hit when August was simply 4 years old. In comparison to most of society, this family was more or less prepared for such a lifestyle. They had their own food, their own freshwater, their wood stove, their own forest and their own two hands, what more could a family need? August learned how to ride before they could even grab the concept of walking, they wrangled swine before they were even two feet tall, held their first gun before they were even ten. The family was incredibly close and incredibly fond of their only child, though there was a lingering worry of what the future would bring, for it was a lonely lifestyle. August grew up knowing only two other human beings, their mama and baba, and although that made them closer than any other family, it made it more and more difficult for August to ever be able to make social ties outside the shelter of their bloodline. August's father often brought his young child out hunting and trapping, teaching them how to tan hide and craft clothing from leather and pelts whilst August's mother taught her child how to read, grow crops, tend to the farm animals and how to identify herbs and poisons. August's father met an untimely fate when August was simply 12 years old. He left out on horseback to go on a hunt, a trip which he never came back from. Eventually, days of absence forced August and their mother to go looking for him, but they were only greeted by a half-eaten corpse at the end of a steep hillside with his legs crushed and hips broken, the horse he took nowhere to be found. His horse had tripped and fallen on him, breaking his limbs and making him unable to crawl back home. His cries had been lost to the woods.
Augusts's mother grew rather distant after that.
They grew up with animals as friends. When they wanted to talk, they talked to them. There were plenty of cattle and pigs and horses around, but as August reached adolescence, they became lethargic and melancholic. Without outside human connection, they were starting to feel restricted, trapped. Unbearably lonely even with their loving mother and animal companions. They had all these connections, but yet, none at all. They became a rather angry and vicious teenager, relenting their parents for this isolation they were forced into and lashing out at their mama who, seemed to sink deeper and deeper into the darkness of grief. She sank so deep in her mourning and grew more and more lethargic to the point she would no longer go outside to work the land.
Eventually, this depression stretched on for years, and one day when August returned from fishing when they were only 17, they found her dead with a shotgun in hand and a self-inflicted bullet wound.
This was not the safe little lonely haven mama and baba dreamed about any more, but August did not have the heart to leave all these animals behind, so they never left. They remained at the homestead, animals working as company, novels and fiction the only bits of humanity they connected with now that their parents had disappeared. It was an agonizing life to spend an entire eight years in almost complete isolation, a part of August felt like they had started to go mad once they had started to talk to their farm animals and to themselves. One day with the wrong movements, August spilt a kerosene lantern and the place burst into flames, the old creaky wood acting as a potent kindle to the fire. There was no use trying to save the home, August went to release all the animals from their pens and stalls so they could save themselves. In their dismay, they just watched the tragedy take place.
After the place took up in flames and everything finally cleared, they went to salvage what they could from the remains. The barn still stood, and August noticed that the farm mule had returned to the ruins. It was then they knew they had to get out of here and they had a way how. They tacked up the mule and took off, eventually stumbling into Flintlock Lodge after weeks of lonely travel.
