Curio Name: Samedi
Curio: plushie of Sam Hain from Trick 'r Treat film
Guardian: Rii Hon
Item Stage: yush
Starting Stage: kid
Gender: Male
Hair: Short in the back but longer towards the front (tries to hide face with bangs XD) and a mix of orange, red and black. (Probably sticks out from little holes in his sack)
Eyes: Large and pitch black with white lights floating about
Skin: Pale orange with black splotches on his chin and torso. His hands look like they’ve been dipped in black ink and his feet are the same way
Special Traits: Has bat wing cuff earrings and a skull gem embedded in his forehead. He also wears another in the hollow of his throat and if one didn’t know any better, they could swear those two things stared at them.. and spoke.
Clothing Style: Wears a large cloth sack that has a few holes for his eyes, a large shirt with jack skellington on it and baggy black pants. Goes around barefoot, so his feet show every now and then. I figure he’d have a plushie of some Halloween chara (tho he loves Nightmare before Christmas so one of them would be awesome).
Personality: Samedi is a bit of a shy one. Or so he’d like others to think. Not that there’s anything wrong with him (unless he’s angry) but he’s not too sure of how he’ll be received. Wearing the cloth sack feels soothing to him, hence why he always wears it outside. But if he’s in a place where he feels safe, he’ll take it off. At home, he’s often more opinionated and able to speak his mind more. Under that demeanor is someone who tends to listen a lot, even to things that may seem unimportant. He’s a fanatic for Halloween and loves reading anything and everything about it; lore, old wives tales, stories of tricks and treating, everything. He’s a firm believer in tradition and believes that things that set in certain ways to be followed and are not to be strayed from. But he is a loyal friend once you get past his odd little quirky way of speaking and if you don’t make him run off in nervousness. But there’s another side to him, especially if it involves his favorite holiday. He can be more.. charming and talks a lot more. But it doesn’t happen overly often since not many are as ‘obsessed’ with Halloween as he was.
Word to the wise: Don't ever speak of other holidays around him. As far as Samedi's concerned, they don't exist nor SHOULD they! It goes without saying that he feels horrified at the thought of any other day being as perfect and amazing as Halloween. So expect mischief on them. A LOT of it!
Potential Powers/Skills: Secret yes yes
Keeping this because it was too fun to just leave out! Will work on this from time to time to make better ... hopefully XD:
Prompt Response: You're a Halloween themed item. You like the Halloween things. But it's Christmas time now! Oh god what happens?
The first thing that tipped Samedi off that something was vastly amiss was the weather. Now, he was used to some chilly nights, as Halloween was known for its hauntingly misty nights and frightening dark corners; yet this was nothing like that. There was too much… white. Sitting in the midst of the living room he shared with the odd woman called Rii Hon, he watched as she hummed cheerful little tunes under her breath and put up decorations that… were… not… scary? He was doing his best to not freak out from the songs alone, that made his skin simply crawl with distaste, but he was seeing red and white and green themed items that didn’t involve dismemberment, bleeding limbs or screaming. That was not right at all. However, he didn’t wish to just ask what type of mental malfunction she was having, because that was ‘rude’, but… he… just.. couldn’t take it! Clearing his throat, he rubbed nervously at his neck as he tried not to lose his cool. “Uh… Aunt Rii… got a question for ya.”
“Hmm? What is it?” The odd colored woman paused in nailing up some Christmas lights, her dark blue eyes focusing on him before some pale silver hair fell into her gaze. He knew she was looking at him anyway, despite the lack of pupils and a general lack of eye shape.
“What are you doing? And why am I not allowed to listen to my MP3 player?” His voice was low and he spoke each word very carefully, because he could feel tremors racing up and down his spine and his fingers were shaking. “Where’s the dead things and… the cobwebs and… why are you so happy?!”
Her soulful eyes blinked once, twice before she smirked and shrugged a bit, setting down the lights and coming down from her ladder a bit. “Because it’s Christmas. It’s a time to be more cheerful and Halloween is over for the year.”
Over…?! Her words echoed dully in his ears and he shuddered more. She might as well had said that the world was ending! But… he slowly drew in deep breathes and coughed a bit. “S-So.. what’s so great about this… horr- I mean, holiday? What’s the deal with the dead tree?” He had been wondering what the deal was with the giant pine tree smack dab in the middle of the room, riddled with tinsel, fake snow, odd baubles of shiny… blindness and food stuffs on string. She had asked him to help her decorate the thing but after he tried adding the shrunken heads, cobwebs and candy corn to it, she decided he wasn’t cut out for it. So that’s why he was sitting on the floor, watching her work.
“It’s for Santa to drop off presents at. In a few days, he’ll be bringing gifts for all the good children on the planet. Or something like that.” She never had experienced the true meaning of the holiday herself, but she wanted to show the boy what it was like. To help him grow, since she knew well he couldn’t always be dark, gloomy, and shouting mock curses at kids through their window. At his lost look of wtf is a Santa, she set about explaining who he was, what he looked like. Ya know, the basics. And he wished she really hadn’t.
“Sooo… lemme get this right. You’re telling me a huge fat man in a dirty red outfit is going to break into our house to give us presents… And this is okay!?” What the hell?! Shooting to his feet, he had rushed off before she could say anything and when he returned, he was holding a baseball bat in hand and a few other weapons. Curious and a bit amused, she watched as Samedi set up camp at the base of their fireplace, grumbling about how no fat man was about to invade his house. Hell no, not on his watch! And as how Rii needed to watch out, cause the second he could, all this Christmas nonsense was going to get burned! Setting the items down, he raced back to his room and started going through the house; tearing down all the Christmas stuff he could find and replacing it with dark, spooky Halloween things.
Was he just going to stop at their house?! Unlikely! He was going to find all these cheerful things and get rid of them! Humans had to be insane!! And they called him crazy…
