Name: Éadach [means cloth in Irish, casually spelled without the accented e] Pronounced: AY-dehckGender: Male
Age: Two years since his appearance, but appears to be somewhere in his teens. [17-18]
Faction/Race Monster
SCARECROW
Born from some humans irrational fear of scarecrows, cornfields and nasty crows, the Scarecrow is a monster , made of 100% creepy and rotten straw. They haunt cornfields, abandoned farms and lonely dirt roads at night, looking for hearts to steal and consume, in hopes that they to might become real one day.
NATURAL ABILITY
Scare Mode
Eadach is, at any point, capable of shapeshifting into this mode, in which he becomes a ghastly looking scarecrow. He has a sack face with a seemingly cut and stitch mouth and two cut-out eyes that glow ominiously. straw peeks out from the neck of his sack and around his hands and feet. His insides are nothing but a black tar like substance and straw, and he is capable of elongating and exaggerating any of his features (such as making his fingers abnomally long and thin or stretching his face so he looks more frightening, or becoming eight feet tall and towering threateningly).
He may, with good concentration, use this ability on one specific part of his body, making it so he can reach far away places, or look over tall walls or something like that.
FEAR
Frightening Ooze
As dirty as it sounds, Ead's objective is to get into your mouth or nose. He wants you to ingest him. His whole goal is to get inside you.
He attempts to do this by melting down into a puddle of black tarry ooze (with straw sticking out like awkward porcupine spikes). He then oozes his way around an enemy(their body, a leg, a hand, anything really) and hold them and constricts. And while being squeezed tightly and incapacitating people is useful, getting it in into the mouth or nose is where the action really is.
If the ooze gets into the mouth or nasal passages, and is ingested, it can cause dizziness and blurred vision, with a slight chance of minimal claustrophobia or paranoia at his first year, blurred eyesight and unbalance in his second year, with a chance of more intense paranoid feelings, and hike up to full-blown delusions by his third year.
His speed is cut severely in this form, and it is basically useless if the person runs from him(theres no way he could chase them down). It's much more useful if he can sneak up on them, or surprise them with it.
Personality:
TO PLEASE HAVE YOUR HEART?
Ead lacks a heart.
Ead can hear your heart beating.
Will you please to give him your heart? He would like it muchly if you did.
Eadach has a very big complex about his lack of a heart, feeling both a emotional and physical void in himself due to the lack there of. He absolutely adores hearts, any kind. Real hearts, paper hearts, heart candies, your heart, his heart, hers, the sound of them, the taste the smell anything with hearts. He actually hoards little heart pins and trinkets in his room. He would hoard real hearts too, but hasn't gotten his hands on one.
Yet.
This complex also makes him quiet defensive. If someone, let's say, asked him if he had a heart, or mentioned his lack of one, Ead would react in a fit of emotion(what type of fit would matter on both the question and his current mood). It is not surprising for him to vehemently vow to get his own heart one day, and yet on another he may throw a tantrum and mope over the lack of a beating muscle in his chest.
Ead believes each heart sounds different, and he likes to listen his friends hearts, to judge their mood or just to comfort himself. And he checks often. By pressing his head to your chest.
A LIONS...ERR...COURAGE?
Ead is brave.
Really, he is.
No. Really.
Eadach pretends to be brave to hide the fact that he isn't very brave, but really he is brave. It makes sense, promise.
Ead often exaggerates his tales, and tries to make himself look like he's someone to look up to. He denies any fear people might try to label him with("Fire? HA! I ain't afraid of no fire!"), and right up until that very moment when he's actually confronted, Ead will continue to play the part of the leading man.
Of course, as soon as that moment comes, he turns into a cowering puddle. Eadach is actually pretty spineless, and would much prefer to ambush someone or sneak away from consequences. Oftentimes Ead won't think twice to ditch people if the going gets rough. This makes his trust questionable at times.
If he can't get away, Ead reacts like a cornered beast, going from cowering to feral, swinging blindly and erratically, and often tires himself out in the process. But really, under it all, there's a iron will that Eadach doesn't often show, and when his friends (those special to him) are in danger, or trouble, the scarecrow won't think twice to take the blame or hit.
Usually.
BRAINS, NO BRAINS. IT'S ALL THE SAME IN THE END.
If thought process is like internet connections, Ead would be dial up.
SKREEEEE KRRRRRRHH NEEENENENEEEE EEEEEEEEE EEERHGHKKKKK SSSSSSH CLICK.
Ead's head might as well be stuffed with straw, since he doesn't use his brain very much, not that he is a very bright cookie as it is. It can take several attempts and explanations before an idea or lesson sticks in Eadach's brain, and he rarely focuses in for long enough to actually hear a lesson through.
His low intelligence can be somewhat evident in his speech patterns, as he throws in mismatched words, improper words, and all new words into his sentences.
He would prefer, muchly, to learn things through doing versus listening. The only issue is that he would forget the first half by the time someone finished showing him everything. It takes a load of patience, which Ead seems to have plenty of(mainly because he forgets to be impatient).
When people confront him about his lack of smarts, it only confuses Eadach, who cares little for brains. He would prefer to think about hearts, thanks.
PERSONAL SPACE WHUT?
Ead doesn't have a personal bubble.
He thinks you shouldn't either.
Don't try to tell him otherwise.
You'll just confuse him.
It is built into Eadach's nature to be close, to be physical. He is a very hands on creature, and if he isn't in your personal space breathing your air and pressinghislegagainstyoursandtouchingyoucanyoufeelhimclosetoyou he isn't doing his job. By touching and being close and personal, Eadach is capable of expressing himself. If he's angry or annoyed or frustrated, he might punch you, pinch you, prod you or pull your hair. If he's in a better mood, he might lean on you, rest his head on your shoulder, or generally be near you.
And no matter what mood he's in, hes bound to press his 'good' ear to your chest and listen to your heart.
And don't attempt telling him no, either push him away or let it happen. Trying to explain to him that he cannot touch you and that you have personal boundaries and a bubble that he should respect and blahblahblahblahblah he's totally forgotten what you were talking about and is now proceeding to touch you more.
It doesn't work. Words don't work.
I'LL TRY ANYTHING.
Please do not feed Ead.
Please do not dare Ead to do something.
Please do not do something stupid in front of Ead.
He'll try it, probably more then once.
Ead hasn't been around for long, and he's curious, very curious. He's curious to a fault.
He'll eat about anything you give him, as long as it's chew-able, and if it's heart-shaped it doesn't even have to be chew-able. Rotten food? Edible by Eadach standards. Something dead, edible. Pulsing bloody hearts, definitely edible. Super-hot Firechips, edible with water.
Dare Ead to jump off a cliff into frozen icy waters, or climb to the top of the tallest tree and sleep up there? He'll do it, just for the experience. Anything wild, insane, boring, mundane; trivial or important, right or wrong, if someone dares him, Eadach is more then likely to attempt doing it.
And if you like to jump of cliffs in your spare time, or talk about how even people who don't have wings can sometimes fly, please, don't do it around Ead. It's more then likely that he will mimic you and try to do it as well.
And if it's life-threatening, someone better warn Eadach about it. He more the likely isn't aware of the danger to his life.
Why did they enroll at the academy?
Eadach enrolled in the academy in hopes to gain new experiences and get his card so he can go to the real world and find some tasty hearts, and maybe just because he thought it might be fun to do.
History
To come.
Involves very little.
Ead is jussa newbie after all lol.
