Nickname: Forgotten, Ivory [he's a pale, bone-white dude, and this is what I would like him listed as in the Master Character List]
Gender/Pronoun: male, he/him/his; often mistaken for a girl, but doesn't correct people. It's easier to get what he wants when people see what they want to see.
Age: 20
Birthday: October 11, 1999
Sign: Libra
Gemstone: opal
Blood Type: B-
Fav. Food: pepperoni Bagel Bites - in the oven. Don't you dare microwave them.
Hated Food: Ivory is a disastrously picky eater and won't eat anything that doesn't come out of the pre-prepared frozen section at the grocery store. This gives him a skeletal-thin appearance due to not reeeally having an available supply of money or open access to anything to prepare frozen meals with.
School/Occupation: none - he's free-roaming the city...
Hobbies:
- Thief - Thievery is how he obtains every single thing he owns. When he wants to eat, he needs to steal. When he wants a blanket, he needs to steal. When he wants entertainment, he needs to steal. Since he abandons possessions when he doesn't have an immediate use for them, Ivory will even steal almost the exact same thing multiple times. He has a bad habit of walking into "associates only" backrooms to use their appliances to prepare food that he has literally stolen from the store he's in, and Ivory is painfully bad at discretion. If something he wants is in his line of view, he grabs it and doesn't care who sees. This has obviously gotten him in trouble before, but he doesn't really feel like getting caught again. Because of this, he's adopted a "get what he needs and leave" mindset. Even though he likes to hang around and see what he's wrought, he can't actually overpower anyone, so it's best he gets on his way before the shock of his boldness wears off.
Animals! - Being outside for the vast majority of his time lately has exposed Ivory to a lot of animals. Cute baby birds and stray kitties and the occasional friendly doggo. He goes right up to anything not quick enough to escape his grasp and scoops them right up. Sometimes especially friendly creatures don't mind and they get along fine until he's bored enough to let them go, but Ivory tends to respond a bit too forcefully to anything that is less eager to endure his presence, and not all passerby enjoying a peaceful dog walk are particularly pleased by strange young men strolling right up to them and reaching for their pets. He will absolutely chase anything that runs from him, and it's a complete toss up whether he'll get bored after a single minute and go on his way, or if he'll persist until success no matter how long it takes.
Building - Inexplicably, Ivory is drawn to building things. Once upon a time, he was easily distracted by toys like Lego and Meccano, and he can still by caught swiping especially intricate or colorful sets to this day when he finds himself bored. But due to living on the streets recently, he's taken to building more sound fortresses out of discarded materials like scraps of wood, forgotten bricks, or sheets of fabric. He sets up in abandoned buildings, under overpasses, or in secluded areas: wherever he's not likely to be immediately caught. Ivory has no tool proficiency and tends to stabilize things by just adding more. But he is very proud and will drag people to admire his creations, and you better admire them properly.
Virtues: lol, yikes
- Playful - Ivory is still quite a young man and has retained a lot of the whimsy and liveliness of someone in his earlier years. He likes to do activities and can be easily distracted by games either alone, or with someone else. Having a good time is his main priority and he will put it above all else almost without exception, especially at the expense of taking things too seriously. His free-spiritedness and creativity let him find ways to enjoy himself in most situations, and he is all too prepared to rope others in with his shenanigans, which may or may not always be distinctly... legal. He can be vivacious, enthusiastic, and persistent, all in the name of a little bit of fun, and Ivory doesn't see anything wrong with that.
Bold - There are very few things that cause Ivory to fear, and because of this, he proceeds through his day unhindered by concerns of "what if." He acts however he is compelled to in the moment, and it typically results in passionate, outspoken thoughts and feelings. He keeps nothing bottled, and it gives Ivory a confidence that usually keeps him in good spirits. He can talk to anyone, act in any way that pleases him, and show no concern over repercussions. If they come, they come, but he's not going to sit around and be frightened of them. There's not enough time in the day to waste on such things!
Competitive - He likes to win, even when other people don't know they're playing. He likes to win games that aren't even games. Everything can be- everything is a competition, and Ivory is not one to back down from a challenge. He can be very persistent in his goals if it means taking someone else down, and he is of course always seeking praise for his victories and accomplishments. Please notice him, sempai. It plays a bit into his playful trait, as he does like to make games/competitions out of any task he can, and he wants to be good at it in order to 'win.' He can be goaded into taking on complex and challenging tasks as long as there is a nice prize at the end.
Flaws:
- Super ******** crazy delirious murderface Hysterical - There is... not always a rhyme or reason to why Ivory feels the way he does at any given time. He has viciously passionate moods that lead him through crazed highs and violent lows that can swing toward the opposite spectrum at the drop of a hat. Everything he feels, he feels strongly, and Ivory is always feeling. When he 'wins', he is ecstatic, and when he loses, it is a very critical, personal blow that he wants to take out on whoever is closest. Sometimes simple commentary can make him snappish and seek blood in retribution. He is rarely chill, and Ivory will be a handful for anyone dealing with him at any time.
Oblivious - Ivory doesn't do anything wrong ever, and he will fight you if you say otherwise. As long as he wants to do something, that makes it right, right? So it just seems like a waste of time to go around thinking too hard about other peoples' feelings or what is permissible in terms of the law. Ivory can barely fathom such things, let alone actually be concerned about them, and he needs to be told point blank by someone he respects? has a lot of positive feelings for before he even realizes that he may have done something wrong, or he may have upset someone he shouldn't have. He's still really displeased about it and very petulant. Ivory will always assert that he didn't do anything wrong.
Impressionable - In with his playfulness and competitiveness and undisciplined thought process, Ivory has a bit of a childish mind. Someone patient enough and clever enough should have no problem twisting Ivory's goals to meet their own ends. He can be swayed and manipulated with the right argument. You only need to make a game of it, after all. He can be coerced into believing what others want him to believe, and it is only when people come at him with aggression that he responds in kind. But a quiet, firm tone and promises of rewards and praise can quell his brazen personality and leave him vulnerable to the whims of others.
