School: Destiny City University (Ages 18-22 only)
Hobbies: Practicing~ Eirol is from a Circus family. While studying at school one can find him balancing on a half wall as he reads over last nights homework chapter. Or hanging from a tree as he talks with a friend...he's always doing something to exercise his acrobatics and keeping his center of balance on track. He will also be found putting on puppet shows for kids in the local Day Cares.
Sewing~ Something his mother and sisters instilled in him. Don't question it as he makes all his own clothes and sometimes makes something for family or for a friend. He can make almost anything...the things which give him the most trouble are long dresses and ren faire patterns. He dislikes working with leathers, silks or even anything with netting...too much hassle for something which can be done in other means.
Doll/Puppet Making~ Totally his "Father's" passion that he took up to be closer to the male. This being said, most of his doll's are wood and cloth as are his puppets. He is learning how to make other mediums to form this craft. Using the focus precision sewing allows him to create miniatures of his friends.
Virtues: Loyal "Your my friend...why wouldn't I have your back?"~ If you've gained his trust, you've gained a ally for life. He rarely ever lets one who he considers a friend go without aid usually pushing them to do things for themselves if he sees they need it. He will always watch his allies backs if a dangerous situation has sprung up. He doesn't always let those who trespass against his friends off easy, but if he does you can bet its cause he knows his friends don't like it. He makes most choices based on how loyal he is to a person. Also those he's loyal to are the only ones he would ever take to a dress rehearsal. There is a slight chance that he would be willing to start to teach them small tricks to perhaps one day take part of the show.
Excitable "Wait, we're going out tonight?!!!!" ~ Most people end up thinking him rather silly and childish with his nature, how excited he is about the little things. If you have something that catches his eye, fashion wise, chances are you'll be questioned about where you got it, if it comes in his size and various colors. This helps with babysitting because he can keep up with how energetic they are.
Thoughtful "That's not how it is..." ~ Another thing most don't expect due to his stern trait. He actually pays attention to events around him. Mentally taking notes before stowing them away for future ref. These notes allow him to reflect and correct mistakes he may have had made before. It also, when it shows up is the reason he voices his thoughts out-loud in the first place. In most situations regarding friends, this will be displayed in actions rather than words. He'll do something or due to his Excitable trait see something he knows they'll like. Normally winding up getting said thing out of the simple thought that his friend would like it. This also means that he usually winds up with an empty wallet.
Accepting "I don't have friends...I have family!" ~ This is something he learned from his years in the Circus, growing around all sorts of beings. Learning from them and watching some come...some go. He has many pictures with the Old Crowd that are now retired and most are gone from the Circus Tents. His first steps. His first bath [which were with tiger cubs mind you]. His first date was with the Snake Talker [male]. Due to the varied lifestyle Eirol thinks of his friends as his family, the closer you are the more he'll seek you out. Usually he'll end up calling friends, even new ones, "Brother" or "Sister". This has a slight draw back as there is a shot at him forgiving a "family member" who's crossed him in some way....maybe.
Flaws: Strict "You know the rules, follow them."~ Oh boy...yeah. If he knows the rules or thinks he does, he'll enforce them in his own way. He tolerate people acting out or being too...over the top. Never one to let a rule be broken without proper consent or good reason, its ill advised to test this trait of his. He doesn't usually enforce rules by hands on methods, but verbally he can be pretty scary. He is also really detailed when he does get going. So, its something to note that he can get pretty wordy. If he knows your not being mature about an issue...he'll let you know. He isn't one for nonsense or tom-foolery in certain settings. Such as the classroom or the debriefing before a show. He is steadfast in his thoughts and forceful in declaring them at some points. He easily will level a blank look or stare at someone if they're acting younger than they are. At the same time, he will level this same look/stare at someone being a bully. This trait is not a discriminate one nor will it ever be.
Submissive "Mother said..." ~ Eirol is a wuss against females of any age or background. This is entirely due to being raised by a single mother with many sisters. Though the Circus as a whole is considered his family, his Mother was his pillar. He was the only son born into her broad of twelve, most of her daughters were sets of multiples born during slow periods. None of the children have the same father, most were men that were patrons of the Circus who caught their mother's eye. Some were former members of the Circus who left due to drama. Eirol's Father was the latter. Something the young male was reminded up and ended up convincing him for a time as child he shouldn't of been born. This resulted him being submissive to his Mother or sisters still with the Circus. In everyday life outside of the Circus this transitions into him being more meek around girls. He won't go weak kneed for them...just. Respectful if they speak up. Once a girl starts talking, he falls silent till he's sure she's done.
Morbid "Accidents happen...spider lily's bloom when they do."~ …something you need to always keep in mind is that Eirol has a much darker self hidden deep within. This side RARELY comes out only doing so if he's had a rough day with his Mother or failed a simple task that he's aced every other day. He starts to voice darker thoughts, usually this is your warning that he's slipping into this other side. While this trait is on display he gets...mono-toned. All energy seemingly leaves him and he seems lifeless. If you attempt to talk to him he'll attack you verbally. Usually in a soft voice pointing out your flaws or something you fear being applied to a common situation. His view on Death is something which really spikes in his causal conversations as he's seen a bit of it. He likens the view of blood to that of spider lily's...a flower one of his most beloved "Brothers" grew in his small raised garden. Before his death after a fall. Every year on that day, Eirol buys a bouquet of spider lily's normally giving them away till one is left. That single lily is placed in a box where the memorial he made to this "Brother" is kept.
Temperamental "What was that?!?" ~ Oh for the love of creation...NEVER COMMENT ON HIS HEIGHT!!!!!!!! Like no joke, yes he's short (4ft 11in to be exact) and yes its cute. But he is MALE!!!! He is not a bunny, or teddy bear or koi fish. If you call him any of these things...your about to bleed. You can call him cute, adorable or even sweet...just don't call him 'little', 'tiny' , 'short' or 'small'. Please. This is his biggest flaw if only due to how it affects his entire mood. Once triggered it usually takes several hours of classical music to calm him fully. This also can be triggered by insults to his Circus family or to his Outside family. Any further comments to his hair, or clothing will be overlooked as he's not too sensitive unless you follow the hair comment with a girl comment. Then its a sore topic.
