The Boy  Filename: BROKENWING
Name: Aigolios
Gender: Male
Age: 5
Physical Description:
Build:
Lios has an average build for a young kid (despite the fact he's a bit on the short side), one that'll like prevail for the first few stages as well. He's a bit on the lean side, but he's far from being terribly skinny or underweight. He's naturally not very muscular either, though he's not fat. He's just...soft-bodied (take the belly, for example: no rock-hard abs and no real 'gut' to him, just a squishy belly. Pretty standard for a kidlet). At only five, his body hasn't started producing enough testosterone to give him actual muscle growth, after all. Perhaps later in life, he might garner a bit of a 'toned' look, but he's just not a boy destined to be a very buff type.
Skin Tone:
Average, though slightly pale. Also, due to having an inverted sleep cycle (sleeps during the day, up all night)- one that's often interrupted frequently, no less- poor Lios already has slight dark circles under his eyes.
Eye Color:
Amber-gold
Hair:
Lios' hair's dominant color is blonde, with short, soft streaks of dark brown/black here and there.
As of now, Aigolios wears his hair cut short, a little longer than ear length. There is no special style to it right yet, though the hair itself is slightly wavy. The facility he was residing at was fairly no-frills when it came to styling hair cuts, it seems.
Clothing:
Lios has a fairly simple manner of dressing. First and foremost, he wears glasses due to being far-sighted (perhaps this is a bird-like trait; despite owls having very sharp far-off sight, they can't see squat up close). Without his glasses, anything up close is rather blurry.
Secondly, Lios carries around a small, cream-colored security blanket, particularly when he's going into a stressful situation- such as meeting his new guardian, meeting new friends, or going to classes.
The last detail of important note is the orange hooded sweatshirt that Lios wears. It's a few sizes too big, but he can often be found wearing the hoodie, snuggled up in it for comfort- he even wears it to bed at times. Inside the sweatshirt, he feels safe and secure, like he has some sort of armor (with the blankie being his shield, naturally). He becomes noticeably more uneasy and less sure of himself when he's not wearing it.
As for other details, he wears no major accessories of note and for pants and shoes...just sandals and a pair of generic worn, roughed-up jeans.
The animal inside!:
Feathery Ears
Lio has a pair of rather feathery ears. They aren't feather-ears in the sense of like...mini-wings at the side of the head but more like...pointed ears covered in feathers. They look, if anything, like the 'horns' on a Great Horned Owl. If plucked clean of feathers, there's a set of fairly humanoid- if not somewhat pointed- ears.
Back Wings
They're just what they sound like- a pair of small wings growing from Lios' back. Their plumage has the coloration of the Rock Eagle-Owl. They're certainly too small to fly with at this stage, though. For a rough comparison of size, if he were stretch out his arms and wings, the wingtips would barely match up to his wrists. This is likely to change as he grows.
As a side note, his right wing is injured. It was broken in an accident at the orphanage and didn't heal properly. Though can possibly be corrected later on with re-breaking and resetting and causes him no pain, right now this injury causes the right wing to fold in somewhat awkwardly. He can be somewhat self-conscious about it at times. Heck he can be self-conscious about his wings in general- sometimes, they get hidden under that big sweatshirt of his...
Plumage Tail
Self-explainitory. In short: A bird's tail. In slightly more length: Lios has a short stub of a tail extending from the base of his spine, the likes of which is covered in tail feathers. He usually wears it outside of his pants (it sticks over the waistband of his jeans), but at times he tucks it inside them to hide his 'animal' traits.
Talon
Instead of a left hand, Aigolios has an owl's talon and a fairly bird-like forearm. Four digits, hooked claws, covered in small, short, downy feathers. The talon-like build (or rather, the feathers in particular) extends to about the elbow. Despite the fact talons make up an owl's feet and legs, owls typically use the claws for prehension, whereas a human uses their hands so... yeah.
Personality Overview: Lios is a quiet boy, somewhat shy even. He doesn't talk much and for some time, the children's home thought he was mute from some unknown trauma he'd endured in his previous home. He wasn't- he just simply was not a child that spoke much. Since being around the other children and adults of the home, he's opened up and started speaking a little more. But just because he doesn't talk much doesn't mean Lios is uncommunicative or inexpressive- sometimes, he can say more with gestures, body language and expressions than he can with words.
Lios finds great contentment in reading, even though he can't read too much at this age. Incidentally, he loves being read to just as much and will badger anyone with the ability to read him something quite frequently.
The boy can certainly be skittish at times, particularly around people he doesn't know or isn't yet used to. Loud noises- aside from hurting his sensitive ears- tend to spook him as well, sending him skittering for cover whether under table, bed, blanky or even in his hoodie. Ironically, despite being a bird-type, Aigolios tends to be afraid of heights. Or more specifically, unsecured heights. He can look out a window that's a few stories up with no sweat. He can even stand out on a balcony that high up- as long as there's a secure rail between him and the edge. But if there's nothing between him and the edge, he gets very fearful and anxious.
Another quirk is that Aigolios is nocturnal (but with such an owlish influence, is it such a surprise?) and if awake during the day, he can often be found sneaking naps or looking rather sleepy, ready to curl up in his big hoodie and just sleep. However, since most children and adults are active during the day, this has posed a problem in the past, often requiring him to be awake when his body wants to be resting. Because of this, he's often exhausted and feeling sickly from lack of sleep. When he does manage to fall asleep (more often when he's made to sleep at night but occasionally when he sleeps during the day as well), he tends to sleep lightly and so is easily awoken. It's no surprise that the poor child has dark circles under his eyes!
Despite being somewhat...odd at times (possibly from lack of proper socialization) and rather shy, once you get to know him, Aigolios is a playful boy. He's got a good sense of humor and is fairly kind and willing to share. It might take some work to get him warmed up enough to show these traits, but it's entirely worth it. Hopefully, with some work and the emotional support from a mentor, Aigolios will become a well-adjusted (if not somewhat quiet) boy.
Strengths: Smart/fast learner, stealthy, kind (once he warms up, anyways), polite, unobtrusive
Weaknesses: Not so socially adept, can be aloof or otherwise shy at times, timid, wary, fearful of high places, farsighted
Likes: Music, reading, playing, the night sky and stargazing, shiny things
Dislikes: Loud noises, being woken up early, bright lights, letting people down- particularly those he's attached to or likes
Fears: Loud noises, sudden movement, heights
Traits: Farsight, Acute Audition

The Man
Name: Moriarty Balthasaar
Nickname: Mouse (in fact, it is safe to say that he goes by this far more often than he does his actual first name)
Age: 36
Personality: In a word: odd. Mouse is perhaps not the most normal person around, though perhaps that comes with the territory of being a mortician- just hearing his story about the time he found a head in the storage locker proves this point very well. He's not the most socially adept person in the world but this doesn't stop him from trying, god bless him. He doesn't mind being around people, he just...tends to weird them out with strange remarks or jokes. As some people have said about him, he 'seems to have an air of weirdness about him'. It's probably true.
He works nights at the hospital, down in the morgue (though once or twice he's helped topside with the living when the building was understaffed) and consequently sleeps during the day. Mouse isn't at all unnerved by the fact he's working with corpses either but he is oddly prepared for the event of a zombie apocalypse (again, allow me to state that Mouse is a strange man). He enjoys the silence and solitude his job gives him, though he has a fondness for the rhythmic thud of a good heartbeat- working around stiffs so often makes one appreciate the aspects and nuances of life all the more.
Despite being somewhat eccentric and a little morbid, Mouse is a rather warm and friendly person. He's always fairly optimistic about most everything and takes matters in stride, both good and bad (or at least he seems to, anyways). He has a nervous habit of combating poor situations with humor or laughter though, which can make for awkward situations and misunderstandings. His abilities of note include medical knowledge and mad Tetris skills.
Likes: Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Fastbreaks, tiVo, The Beatles
Dislikes: Those little green bits in the cafeteria meatloaf (what ARE those anyways?), celery, people who think a few 'orbs' are surefire proof of a haunting, Rachel Ray
Fears: Zombie apocalypse, Cher, crane flies (those gross, nasty, ginormous mosquitoes oh god)
