Welcome to Gaia! ::

<{---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------}>

Appearance: Tolken has white/caucasian skin and emerald green eyes with medium-short silver hair.
Child: He likes to wear dark green or blue colored shorts with simple, flat shoes and white colored tank-tops or muscle shirts which he prefers because the emeralds covering his arms bother him when he wears sleeves.
Teen+ He wears faded green or dark blue shirts under a slim but comfortable stark white jacket with an emerald lapel pin. For bottoms Tolken wears either slim dark colored pants or jeans. He wears boots and a hat, often a bowler hat(his favorite hat). (stands at 5 feet 10 inches and weighs 168 lbs)
Teen Halloween '12

Distinguishing Features: Tolken's arms are covered with bits of emerald.

Personality: +social, +fun-loving; -easily distracted, -irresponsible; *random

Tolken is very sporadic and spontaneous, sometimes doing odd things at the strangest times or going on tangents when he talks. This happens mostly when he is pretending to be philosophical. When he does, it somehow ends up sounding deep. After being random or philosophical for a while, Tolken will normally end it with a good hearty laugh.

Tolken is also a very social person, he loves parties and get-togethers, basically any social gathering where he can make friends. Tolken prefers, over anything, to hang out with the friends that he and Jasper make, which he will often do when Jasper is off at work instead of helping him with the deliveries. He also likes to take lead of the people he spends time with. This is often examplified by him deciding activities and telling others the best way to go about doing things.

Tolken is an extremely fun-loving person. He tries to make everything fun, often turning even simple tasks into competitions or games. His view on life is pretty much, "No work and all play is the best way to live!"

Tolken has some issues with staying focused on a subject. While it isn't intentional, it may anger people he's talking to because he makes it obvious with the way he starts staring into space or playing with his hat. Sometimes in the middle of a conversation Tolken will get sidetracked, becoming more interested in the butterfly flying above his head than the person in front of him.

Tolken is also an irresponsible person. It 's not so much that he purposefully doesn't do what he's supposed to, but rather that his overly active and fun loving personality tends to leave him shirking his duties. This of course causes plenty of problems when Tolken says he'll do something but never does it. The problem is usually with his Guardian, who gets stuck cleaning up after him.

Extra: When Tolken is stressed or is facing a problematic situation, he often responds in a jovial manner, using a joke or a smile in an attempt to lighten a bad mood or situation. If this tactic fails and he is forced to react seriously, depending on the situation, he will try and talk it out, using violence and anger only as a last resort.

Tolken prefers play over work, so he will often spend his days trying to convince his guardian Jasper to skip work and go have fun around town with him. He also dislikes all the running and exercise that Jasper does, so when they go out for a run, Tolken will sometimes purposefully fall behind and cut through the path for a shorter run.

Guardian and Dust: The relationship between Tolken and Jasper is, for the most part, full of happiness and laughter. Tolken spends a lot of his time trying to convince Jasper to play with him, and unless he has to work, Jasper will usually say yes.

It gets a little rough on the things they don't quite see eye to eye on. Jasper loves to run and excercise and he doesn't see his job as work, but as an excuse to do something he loves. Tolken on the other hand, hates to do any form of work and hates taking on responsiblities. Tolken would rather spend the entire day having fun with some friends and then coming home and going to sleep. Some days Jasper ends up doing Tolken's chores because he refuses to do them.

When Jasper and Tolken butt heads, more often than not, it ends with a simple talk followed by going out and having fun, but sometimes, it turns into an argument, which normally leads to Tolken locking himself in his room. If the argument gets really bad, Tolken may even sneak out of the house, making Jasper worry about his well-being as he searches the town for him.

Bear in mind I haven't been here long and have no authority and limited knowledge of shop canon ^_^()

Power suggestions: Maybe the emeralds on his arms could spread in times of danger to provide armor? Or something to do with focusing light through an emerald? Or if he has any on his palms, maybe it can grow into a weapon at need - an emerald dagger as a child, perhaps, that becomes a shortsword as a teen or something.

Comments:
I like the physical description - I can readily picture him in my head.

You cover how he deals with the everyday fairly well, but what about under stress or in dangerous situations?

You should probably put something up about his guardian, and how they're liable to interact...

The guardian has been approved for some time so that's all good to go!
With the dust however I really do want you to add much more information about him. The appearance is fine to me, though is there a reason why he likes to wear a grey fedora? haha (:

Personality I really want you to add more on this, really do in depth with his personality. What you did expand on are mostly his positive traits and neutral traits like easily unfocused and such. Does he have bad qualities about himself? How would he feel about dusts he doesn't like? What excites him? What does he do on a normal day? Small things like that that seem mundane but define him more and more as a person and make him complex.

I also do want you to add something about how he and his guardian are possibly going to interact, what would their personalities be together? Would he get along very well or would they have their issues? Basically more in depth if you can. (:

FINALLY finished edits to Tolken.


critique and appraisal time!
