Welcome to Gaia! ::

AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM

Name: Marosa Lachlann Tramaine Feyrath
Nicknames: Maro, Rath
Gender: Male
Age: 17

Faction/Race Demon; Faerie (Gancanagh)

Natural Talent: Gancanagh have an addictive toxin in their skin that makes others addicted to them. This only lasts for five to ten minutes with a brief touch at first year. Higher years will result in longer times depending on the amount of contact.

"The Gancanagh are thought to have an addictive toxin in their skin that make the humans they seduce literally addicted to them. The women seduced by this type of faerie typically die from the withdrawal, pining away for the Ganacanagh's love or fighting to the death for his love.

The faerie is typically depicted carrying a clay pipe, though he does not smoke it because faeries generally detest smoke." (Note: It's man's perception that fey detest smoke, though this isn't necessarily true - it may be that man has it mixed with iron, as most fey burn at the touch of iron on their skin.)

"The Gancanagh seduced young maidens with his enchanting voice and whispered nonsense then would promptly disappear, leaving the maiden to cry away for him. Few of his victims live for very long afterwards dying of despair and a broken heart.

To meet him meant bad luck, and whoever was ruined by ill-judged love was said to have been with the gancanagh."

EXTRA INFO: At adulthood, a Gancanagh's wings shrivel up and die, or wither away. The reason behind this is thought to be able to blend within humans more readily, whereas other faeries are stuck with their wings and are found out. A fully grown Gancanagh has no 'other form', so when they lose their wings, they are thought to be 'human' by other humans. Easier to blend in, easier to pick off the unsuspecting herd one by one.

Being around a Gancanagh makes you interested, almost as if you're mesmerized or charmed. It could make each individual act differently, but to humans it's a sensual/sexual attraction.

The Gancanagh also have no shadow, and always carries a clay pipe with him at all times.

Personality: Me? Snobbish? No... I'm just picky.
Marosa doesn't really appreciate others at first, but he doesn't really shove it in their face; he just brushes them off as if they were a gnat on his sleeve, unless they have something unique about them that garners his interest. He is a fey true; any subject that gets a faerie's interest is bound to have a very annoying tagalong for a bit, as faeries like to stick their nose into other people's business. Quite. Often. (Though his main reason for acting distant is that he doesn't WANT to get close to ANYONE. He'll still be interested in talking to ghouls/boils, he'll just act like he's not interested most of the time. It's an ongoing inner battle with himself.)

Don't touch me.
Marosa does not like to be touched. Ever. He's afraid of anyone getting close enough to touch him, and then fall in love with him. To him, that's not love -- that's lust. Because of the Gancanagh Faerie's abilities, he's afraid to have anyone "fall for him" when he knows that it's the toxin in their skin that's making them do that. That's the main reason why he brushes people off most of the time, as well as the fact of being afraid of his true Gancanagh self, feeding off of others' energies.

You seem... intriguing.
For Gancanagh, touching people equals feeding, in a sense. The Gancanagh needs to touch people in order to keep himself sane, in order not to get weak. If they go a prolonged time without touching anyone, the weaker and hungrier they get.

Unfortunately, touching other residents of Halloween leaves them with a need to touch others, due to the toxins on them becoming too much to handle by themselves. They need to touch other people to get rid of it/detox themselves before they themselves become weaker/more narcissistic/get the shakes/etcetc. (Thank you Maru!)

Love? Sod love.
Love is something Marosa is NOT interested in right now. Although, he will fall head over heels over someone who DOESN'T react to his race's ability; I.E. if they touch his skin and don't immediately fall for him, though he'll freak out in general if anyone does touch him. It'll take him some time, but he's not overtly looking - just secretly hoping.

Note: If there is someone that truly falls in love with a Gancanagh/Marosa, they are unaffected by the Gancanagh charm/curse. This also does not work if said target is in love with someone else.

Touching equals--
This does not work through clothing -- just skin on skin contact. You bet your life that Marosa will still freak out if he's touched, but for the most part, if you avoid direct skin, your kid will be fine and unaffected by Marosa's ability.

I look...
Marosa constantly worries about his looks. A lot. This stems a lot from being touched, as well; he's fine if a curl falls out from behind his ear - hey, good sex appeal - but if someone bumps him in the hallway, he'll freak out a little bit and go to fix whatever bumped out of place. He doesn't really worry about appearance; it's more the fact that he has to make sure his skin is completely covered, because of his fear of being touched. There's a good chance that he'll get over this if it happens to him enough times, but for now, he'll freak out constantly over slight bumps and nudges, so much that it might seem he's claustrophobic. Hey, no one ever said Faeries were sane.

Another quirk/fault Marosa has is messing with his hair or clothing when he gets agitated. He messes with it more when he gets more agitated or upset, starting to find faults with his hair or clothing that weren't there before. It's rather amusing to watch, but Marosa will get short and snappy with his responses.

I rolled a natural 20.
Dungeons & Humans is about the only game that Marosa enjoys. He loves playing a character he can control, without having any strings attached. It's not a real thing, and the fact that he can control something that's not real just tickles his fancy. This is one way he can really let go and not worry about things.


History: It's been said that if humans fear something enough... it comes true. That was well enough when a little boy was found in the pumpkin patch, not making a sound... yet when the older Gancanagh Faerie stumbled upon him, he was curious to find that the boy was the same species as him, and had an unusual awed curiosity seemingly unlike other Gancanagh Faeries that rather disturbed him a little.

He took the babe home, naming him Marosa - determined to teach him what he was and how to use it to the best of his advantage; that proved harder than usual, however, as the boy wanted to make friends and collect trinkets. This frustrated the older Gancanagh, and he ended up destroying the trinkets Marosa had collected, in order to get him to see his point of view. Faeries - especially the Gancanagh kind - were meant to be feared and respected, especially when trying to get into the Unseelie Court.

It took him a few tries to get Marosa's attention, as the boy Just. Wouldn't. Quit, but the older Gancanagh felt relieved and proud when Marosa finally started acting like a true Faerie, and began to act like his surrogate father expected.

Why did they enroll at the academy? (Let us know what they think they would learn there, what are their school interests ,what do they hope to gain?)

■ Marosa doesn't really like the life of a "faerie", and he wants to find another way to live - either that, or find who he really is/come to terms as to who and what he is. Whichever comes first.
■ Father figure wanted him to learn to dirty his hands, to appreciate and respect having others do work for you.
■ To find a soulmate. (Or flirt with ladies.)
■ To learn manners! And respect for adults. Cough, cough.

Fear: Emotional Manipulation

Marosa's FEAR is the ability to sense and invoke feelings in others, as well as altering them to his will. He can feel how others are really feeling; whether they are sad, happy, angry... but he doesn't know the reason why. In otherwords, he can make other feel a certain feeling if he puts enough concentration into it, but if he loses that concentration, then he'll end up feeling what they are feeling.

In battle, this will work as Tainted Fang. With the ability to control/sense emotions, he can do damage over time by playing with one's emotions, changing the emotions by manipulating the target's adrenaline, endorphins, and pheromones. (This also ties into his natural ability as a Gancanagh, because if anyone touches him, they are much easier to manipulate.)

(Marosa can also manipulate the intensity of the emotion they are feeling, but I don't forsee that happening until second or third year.)

First year - He can only do this when he's really close to the person he wants to invoke feelings in. He doesn't have much control over this, and can end up feeling his opponent's emotion instead of feeding them the emotion he wants. He can also sense emotions by just being close to them.

Second year - He has quite a bit more experience under his belt, and can actually control this now; though if a pretty face walks by, there is a good chance he can lose control. His range can go a little farther to feel what others are feeling.

Third year - Almost full mastery over it, though he can still lose control. Now that he's had practice at it, he can quickly snap out of it - he knows his own feelings much more than another's.


Physical Description:
Eye Colour: Gold.
Hair Colour/Style: Red and curly, with the ends of his hair a silvery cream color (only on the bottom of his curls). EXACT example can be seen here. )
Skin Colour: Very pale (almost a milky cream-white)
Clothing Style/Colours: Very 'down to earth' clothing, with green tones, and a kilt. Also, his skull pun will be on the bottom of his kilt, as a kilt pin. Kilt pins are worn to hold the kilt down, so it's extra heavy when, for example, the wind blows. Reference for kilt pin seen here. The exact place the kilt pins are matters as well.
Extra: NO pointed ears, please! Has faerie wings, only they are deteriorating slightly - like a leaf starts to dry out and crackle and crack everywhere. Also has a clay pipe, but he won't be seen smoking it anytime soon...
References: Clothing is seen here. The artist is free to change a few things if it makes it easier! <3 The only two things I ask for sure on the clothing is the kilt and clay pipe.

Thank you! whee

I... never even thought about that. XD WHAT AN AWESOME QUESTION.

I think he'll either stay completely away from sports, or wear layers upon layers of clothing just so he doesn't have to do skin to skin contact. It reeeally depends on the group of friends he has, and what will intrigue him once he actually gets into the school.

Thanks for this question! Yes, that's exactly what I mean - I'll reword it better now that you brought this up. heart He'll be closed off due to how he was raised, but start opening up around certain people. :3



If starting out, he'd freak out a little bit and try to go to the nearest corner. If he's attended for a while, he'd be used to it - just have to wear lots and lots of layers of clothing. XD



He'd find them INTRIGUING. He'd try to poke at them and really wonder if they had a personality or not. He wouldn't really be freaked out, just be really confused and more than likely interested in learning about them.



Honestly, he really doesn't care. Like in his backstory -- his family (which I totally need to expand upon more than his father) really frowned upon him interacting with more people other than faeries. He just... doesn't give a s**t; he is who he is, and he befriends/hangs around who he wants. Even though his father tried to train him out of it, he still goes to his basic personality, which is being interested/intrigued in everyone and everything. (This is still a true fey trait, he just... didn't really get the "let's ******** with everyone's mind" mindset like his father. XD; )



I would LOVE that. XD And I would LOVE to rp with you if we do get both of our characters. whee Thank you for all the questions! I'll go ahead and crit you back. heart

PICKED AND PICKED AND PICKED. I swear it's not personal, I went in looking for things to nitpick. xDDD

MOSTLY I HAVE QUESTIONS FOR YOU TO CONSIDER and things.

- When you say he likes playing D&D, remember that it's D&H, not D&D! ;D
- I thought his name was female at first. Does it have a special meaning? Was it chosen for its effeminate sound? I'm a sucker for names (even though I hate naming things myself), so it might be worth adding.
- His age should probably be listed in human years, and also mention how old he looks for his future artist! ;D
- He hates touching and doesn't like people, and yet he wants love and flirting/sex appeal? Is this intentionally conflicting? If so, how does one impact the other?

on his past:
Does he resent his father for ruining his things? For the stress and pressure growing up? Is he damaged for his unfortunate childhood and his desire to be something else? Does it impact his relationships with people, or influence his personality traits? What happened to his selkie friend? Is she likely to come up again, or did he forget her? Did she die? Did he feel bad if she did?

As a final note, I would tap him. I would tap him so hard. When ever you get him (and when ever I get... Torrence, probably?) I want to plot so hard. B: <333

Added a questionnaire for 100 questions!! whee Slowly filling them out~~

Added artwork! heart
