Aries / Vela(#99c68f) Valiente-Blanco

Legal Name: Nico Valiente-Blanco
Names: Aries, Vela, Indie, Lux/Lumi, etc
Age: 27
ID: Puerto-Rican human

Gender: agender
Pronouns: they/them
Orientation: panromantic/bisexual
Misc: poly+monogamous, nomifluid, term-collector

Level: infra but often travels between levels for work
Occupation: professional supermoto racer
Physical Description:
Aries' complexion is golden and relatively unblemished, aside from a number of old scars etched into their arms and legs from years of reckless behavior.

Zirs very tall for zir lineage, standing at about 5'9 and definitely an outlier in zir family of 5'7 adults. With a tall and sinewy build, it looks like ze would easily get knocked out by other racers. Regardless of this aspect of zir figure, Aries is always one to stand tall, oftentimes picking fun at or legitimately criticizing competitors who notice this and choose to underestimate zir. What makes up for their understated build in an industry dominated by strong creatures is the undeniably confident way in which they carry themself, with a relaxed posture and set shoulders, looking comfortable almost wherever they are, something which often gets on others' nerves.

Their dark brown hair is kept somewhat short and styled in moderation, usually straightened. It becomes very curly whenever damp or hit by the wind, making it even more difficult to wear a helmet comfortably; so during events or training, Vela usually gives up on trying to do anything with it, instead letting their hair do... Whatever it wants. They end up with their hair falling in curls around their ears and above their eyes and it being shaggy at the nape of their neck.

Bits+Pieces:​
  • They have a horizontal burn mark on their forearm from messing around once while in a summer cooking class.
  • Ze develops sun freckles during racing season.
  • They often wear cologne or perfume in order to mask the almost permanent smell of petrol and dust at the track.
  • Vela speaks somewhat loudly or not at all, due to growing up in a place that wasn't big on inside voices. They learned English a while ago but still have a noticeable Puerto Rican accent and break into speaking Spanish when with other native speakers or attempting to subtly smack talk their superiors.


Clothing:
Vela has a strong preference for clothing that is light, good for movement, and has enough flair to make them feel confident in their appearance. Because of their sensitivity to heat, they layer in moderation and often wear clothing made of relatively thin fabric.

They often wear a mix of cropped button up shirts and graphic tees, along with any pair of comfortable cargo pants or ripped jeans.

They've worn the same pair of converse for the past three years and have begun occasionally stringing on loose beads in the sequence of their pride flag colors or whatever palette they enjoy at the moment. When it comes to accessories, Vela is a strong believer in "more is more." Their favorites are a set of craft bead bracelets made by some kids at a summer camp they used to work at.

Accessories:​
  • fidget rings
  • beaded bracelet
  • acrylic jewelry
  • tinted sunglasses
  • a sunflower lanyard worn during big outdoor events and tournaments
Personality:
inquisitive | hedonistic | absolutist | easygoing | passionate | self-assured | unapologetic | gritty | impressionable | lacks mental & emotional perceptiveness | wandering

Vela is a very straightforward person and strongly dislikes complexity as a result. They're not very good at thinking about anything in a deep or perceptive manner, leading them to often judge things shallowly. Their inability to understand moral complexity makes them judge people in a very surface level way, only ever looking deeper when it comes to those they idolize.

Because of their simplistic outlook on most things, they often do what they want and stay out of situations they don't care too much about. This leads them to live life very hedonistically, often turning away whenever presented with something meaningful in exchange for instant gratification and the simple pleasures of life. They're the type to hold themself unabashedly above all else, and despite appearing reckless to others, often subconsciously adapts to make things easier for themself. Despite this, they do deny the omnipresence of some of their shortcomings, which is why they've never thought about getting an SPD diagnosis even when they've been acknowledging their sensory situation for years.

Aries is completely comfortable in their skin and often uses egotistical jokes and affirmations to keep it that way. Due to growing up with some confidence issues, they still sometimes get bouts of insecurity when caught in a bad spot.​
Likes: coffee (cafe con leche) and strawberry milk, confusing people's preconceived notions, chill mobile games (Dear My Cat, Good Pizza, Great Pizza, gudetama tap!, FairyBakery, etc), beaded bracelets, button-up shirts with patterns, "nice" textures, cologne/perfume, getting people's attention, chill jazz, bean bag chairs, soft strawberry flavored licorice, watching drum tutorials and random video essays, fruit juice, Steven Universe, instant pho

Dislikes: the smell of petrol, being forced out of their comfort zone, obscure violence and gore, scuffed pronoun usage, being forced to close up, white noise, getting shots and blood drawn, small spaces, name brand clothing, apathetic people, being controlled or constrained, snobbishness and pretension, dizzy spells, not being able to understand things, lint, certain stimuli (butter and oil, thick sauces, sandpaper, scratchy wool, shirt tags, the sound of zippers, clinky overlapping noises, etc)

Patterns: opens up a mobile game whenever they're stressed or bored, walks through steps out loud when anxious or overwhelmed, has a couple of repeated phrases (e.g: "Oh fuck you""In this economy?""Who's going to stop you? The police? God?""We live in a society""Well that's not ideal is it"), only drinks iced or scorching hot coffee, feints formality when irritated, speaks their mind and isn't good at sugar-coating what they say

Health: vasovagal convulsive syncope, some sensory issues, allergic to dust
History:
  • Aries grew up in Puerto Rico and moved to Infracaelum with their mother and little sister when they were 16.​
  • They chose to learn English through immersion while completing high school, learning by listening to podcasts and people-watching in their free time.​
  • While still getting settled into life in Arcadia, ze befriended a couple of band kids and decided to take up the drums.​
  • They got their own legit motorcycle almost right after moving and joined a dirt bike club in high school before going on to professional motorsport.​
  • Vela got signed onto their first racing team at 18, although they didn't get big until they switched to a bigger company a couple of years later.​

Extra:
  • Because of Vela's dust allergy, they make sure to keep their flat almost unnaturally clean and keep medication on them whenever staying somewhere else.​
  • When Aries' mind runs a bit too fast, they distract themself with a game or whatever objects they can find around them.​
  • Vela has a decent following on social media, despite them not being all that active and the account being partly managed by PR. They post their favorite clips from races and a couple of videos of their work behind the scenes.​
  • Due to learning English mainly by listening, they aren't all too good at reading and writing and often use audio play to understand things.​
  • They got locked out of changing their "about me"s on social media because they kept adding neopronouns and PR got annoyed.​
  • Reporters default to calling them their last name in articles and during interviews, just because people know them by so many nicknames.​
  • Ze is a proud and frequent emoji user. This trait annoys Priya, who also uses audio play to read text messages and doesn't appreciate its phone's emoji naming conventions.​
  • Vela wants to learn to play bass guitar.​
NPCs:
Priya
29
Paragirl
they/it, sometimes she/her
Coworker
Race engineer
Werewolf, Greek

Vela and Priya met through the company that endorses zir races. When ze first joined the establishment, ze needed to have a team to make changes to zir vehicle and run tests to determine some of their stats. Priya happened to be in charge of the set-up for zirs first big race and they got along so well that they went on to continue working together. Vela and Priya often exchange technical tips and strategy ideas, more so with each other than others on the team because they're both usually too blunt and tone-deaf for everyone else's tastes.
- Whenever ze pass out at the track, they're the one to check on zir condition and gets them a sports drink

Ezra
28
Demiboy
he/him
Close friend
Supermoto racer, stuntman, and financial advisor
Miengu, Cameroonian

Ezra and Aries hit it off at a multi-company party following a supermoto tournament they'd both participated in. Despite Ezra recently losing to them in a few too many races, they ended up getting along very well. Now they visit each other during events and whenever the other is in town, sharing drinks, anecdotes, and surprisingly personal information by others' standards, considering how rarely they get to see each other. They're both reckless, although in notably different ways, and are unwaveringly accepting of each other's shortcomings which many others find worrying.
- When hotel rooms in Gehenna are too dusty for Aries' allergy medication to work well, they crash at Ezra's place
- Ezra is one of the only people that tries to call Aries by their right name at the right time, and even sometimes makes up and uses nicknames corresponding with their current name, such as "Ari". Aries responds by referring to him as Ez.

Kian Darvish

Name: Kian Darvish
Age: 28 years
Ethnicity: Persian
Creature: Sagdid four-eyed dog

Gender: Demiboy
Pronouns: He/They
Orientation: Omniromantic/Greysexual (Uranic preference)
Misc: Monogamous

Level: Gehenna, moved recently from Infracaelum
Occupation: Dry cleaner
Abilities:
- sensing recent death
The ritual of Sagdid is an old funeral ceremony in which a dog, in the span of three to nine days, keeps watch over the recently departed's body. In addition to spiritual benefits, it confirms that the person is in fact dead and not suffering from an injury or in a coma. This ability has been passed down even after the ritual went out of practice, giving four-eyed dogs the means to subconsciously sense death through the ability to smell the beginnings of decay.

This sense expands to flora and fauna, but many four-eyed dogs have become desensitized to the smell of anything but the corpses of humans and fellow creatures.

- enhanced eyesight, hearing, and smell

- sharp canines and nails

- warding (behavior)
In Sagdid, the four-eyed dog's function was to protect the body from daevas and ward off bad omens that lingered while the deceased's soul departed. As the dog's purpose was to protect and they tended to work closely with humans, modern four-eyed dogs are naturally protective, empathetic, and susceptible to shifts in body language and mood.

Physical Description
Kian's complexion is an olive-toned golden brown, marred by birthmarks that litter his nose, jaw, wrists, and hands and mingled with old, faded acne scars and scabs, mostly on his cheeks, jaw, neck, nose, temple, and knuckles. He's 5'10" but appears taller due to his well-kept posture, despite being lean and not nearly as defined as other species.

His dark, thick hair is often curly and kept cut short, so as to not get in the way of his line of sight and the chemicals he often handles at work. However, after moving to Gehenna, they've allowed it to grow out a little more than usual. It's annoying, as his bangs now fall a bit over his eyes and brush his ears, but given their current mental state and long work hours, cutting their hair is not exactly their top priority.

As with everything else about his appearance, Kian's eyes are warm and mellow. His often steady gaze lends itself to an ever-attentive but stable presence.

The richness of their appearance is often washed out after moving to Gehenna. The recessed lighting of the dry cleaners makes them appear washed out and monotoned, especially in comparison to the bright lights that decorate the world around them.

Bits&Pieces:
- Kian is often saturated in the smell of Esfand (an herb often used as an incense, described as sage-y and strong-smelling)
- His voice is stable and has a medium-low tone. He says certain things differently than others and has a hard time pronouncing some sounds.
- Whenever Kian's stress begins to manifest physically, they scratch at their skin. Because of their naturally sharp nails, small, fresh scars on their neck and nose are a good tell of their current mental state.

Clothing:
Kian never particularly cared about their appearance outside of comfort. The few accessories they do have are purely sentimental and have become ingrained in their daily routine. Most of their clothing is old and has been part of their cycle for years.

His usual outfit consists of dark-colored jeans, a solid-colored T-shirt, and his gray zip-up jacket. Whenever he has to run laundry or the cold starts getting to him, he switches to a slightly heavier sherpa jacket. Kian really likes wearing regular sweaters too, usually in fairly saturated colors compared to the way he regularly dresses. They don't wear them often in public, though, just because it's difficult to find sweaters in the proper material with loose ribbed cuffs.

Despite their preference for long sleeves, they often have them rolled up in order to keep their hands unrestricted while they work.

Trinkets:
- Earrings: one is a silver stud and the other is dangly with a turquoise gem that resembles an evil eye. They were the first and only pair of earrings he got after getting his ears pierced.
- Bracelet/anklet: a gold bracelet they received from a family member while still in high school. Due to their preference for free hands, they've decided to wear it as an anklet instead.
- Sekeh: a gold-colored plastic coin part of his usual Nowruz tradition, meant to bring prosperity going into the new year. He takes a new one every year and keeps it in his pocket whenever going through a particularly rough patch.
- Drawstring bag: a tiny pouch of Esfand seeds Kian carries on themself at all times, either in their pocket or tied to their belt. There's no way to safely burn it in public—Arcadia is very different from Iran in that regard—but having it around is comforting to them, even if they can't smell it.
Personality
Reliable | Insightful | Objective | Stable | Reserved | Driven | Sincere | Stubborn | Controlled | Somewhat irritable | Earnest | Vigilant | Individualistic | Rather sociable | Superstitious​

Kian as a whole is steadfast and ambitious, making him very driven and also giving him a bit of a stubborn streak. If he wants to do something, he's going to go on and try doing it. Similarly, he's not one to give up his values or succumb to pressure.

They're very sincere and comfortable expressing their opinions, although they tend to be reserved when it comes to themself and things they don't think matter. Their straightforward nature makes them value honesty and avoid miscommunication when forming relationships. He has a good sense of others and is very observant, letting him easily identify and avoid toxic relationships and people.

When Kian hasn't had a good night's sleep in a while, he slips into rather concerning mannerisms. Sleep-deprived Kian is impulsive—compelled to vocally express all of his thoughts, senses, and emotions—no matter how delusive or personal.

In this state, his reactions to everything are more severe than normal; his superstitions, intrusive thoughts, and even a few bad habits from high school are all capable of being expressed to some degree. When sleep-deprived, it's not at all uncommon for him to mention his delusions to others, his shifted tone making him out to be either dazed or malicious, especially since he tends to vocalise his intrusive thoughts as hypotheticals and warnings.

Likes: Weighted blankets, silver jewelry, relaxed mornings, casual signs of physical affection, halva, persimmon, the rain and clouds at night, the look of tarnished copper, black tea, honey, butterscotch, monopoly and card games, learning new and obscure things, turquoise, cyan, and orange, 1 on 1 conversations, loose routines, hosting guests, One Night Ultimate Werewolf, Spiritfarer and Stardew Valley, the smell of Esfand, historical sites and museums, fossils, birds and ornithology, Persian food, nuclear chemistry, puns, philosophy classes

Dislikes: Handling glass, loud noises outside of ambiance, ignorance, taking medication, useless cruelty, uncomfortable clothing, economics and business, walking outside in the dark, cars, intrusive questions (from extended family), flawed logic, second-hand smoke in enclosed spaces, sparkling water, extreme taroff, waste, shooter and horror games (despitedue to him having a lot of previous experience with them), parsley, who they were in high school


Main Fear: Loss of autonomy
Main Goals:
- Be happy without worrying about the future.
- Learn who he is as a person without having some grand purpose to build to.

Patterns: Burning Esfand on bad days, aimless stoich conversions and dimensional analysis, doing research on strange and unnecessary topics, bringing up said strange topics when nervous or particularly sleep deprived, becoming bitter when he hasn't slept in a while, boycotting their past self

Health: Intrusive thoughts, occasional night hallucinations and vivid nightmares, a minor chocolate allergy

History
- Kian grew up in a fairly large and drama-ridden family, fueling his dislike of complicated relationships and the toxicity that comes with them.

- Due to having a prying extended family, Kian has mastered the art of answering personal questions vaguely enough to not give any real information.

- For most of high school, Kian worked as a pallbearer after, before school, and on weekends, sometimes to the point of not being able to do anything but go to school, work, and study. The things he experienced during the time he worked there easily changed his life dozens of times over, all for the worse.

- In his late teens, Kian started taking unprescribed sedatives to deal with his nightmares and night hallucinations, almost becoming hooked on them in the process. His subsequent fear of addiction has influenced his dislike of both medication and substances.

- By their third year of high school, they had a good idea of what they wanted to do for their future career (props to their honors and AP chemistry teacher).

- His two longest relationships lasted more than a year each and both took place in college.

- During Kian's first year at college, he was unable to celebrate Nowruz as usual and instead spent the holiday with his partner. They didn't stay together long enough for it to become a tradition, but Nowruz is now one of the only events on which he drinks alcohol.

- Before leaving Infracaelum, Kian completed both his bachelors and masters in nuclear engineering and was planning to take the PE exam. However, he left for Gehenna before he could get into studying for it.

Miscellaneous
- Whenever Kian writes he tilts his paper completely sideways, something he picked up from a fellow left-handed classmate in elementary school.

- They dislike looking at mirrors due to the detached feeling it gives them.

- He never learned to drive due to his fear of cars and freak accidents, instead taking public transport to get places.

Levon Mavros

Name: Levon Mavros
Nicknames: Lev, Len
- Fake names: Ara, Aren, Max, Kallis, Nishan, Matthias
- Fake surnames: Sideris, Matevos, Gataki, Eliades
Age: 29
Ethnicity: Half Greek, half Armenian

Gender: Cis male
Pronouns: He/him, fine with they/them
Orientation: Biromantic/Homo-Aceflux

Level: Gehenna
Occupation: Private investigator and black market dealer
Myth: Half human, half Stymphalian bird
Abilities

- Scale-like bronze feathers
Due to being half human, Levon never grew full wings, the classic metallic feathers instead growing behind his ears and tucked into the thick of his hair, taking the place of keratin. Just like the feathers of the Stymphalian bird, they're able to be pulled out with relative ease (and a bit of pain) and are sharp enough to be used as weapons.
- Bronze nails
The modern form of the Stymphalian bird no longer has a beak, but nails made of bronze. Luckily they don't grow much, if at all, or chip easily.
- Poisonous saliva
Levon has developed a form of poisonous saliva that is both toggleable (with a bit of strain) and typically doesn't affect him. His control over the ability lessens whenever impaired by substances and he must be very careful about dosages when trying to use it.

{The viscosity of his poison is higher than the normal viscosity of saliva. This, as well as the chemical nature of said saliva, makes the ability more of a nuisance than it may sound. In fact, a record number of Stymphalian-bird-children die in the first few months of their life (compared to other creatures' death rates) as a result of them choking and essentially drowning on their own spit. Levon, on the other hand, has a lot more control over his poison than most, due to the practice he's put in. This regular straining however led to the rise of a different problem…}​
Physical Description

Levon is tall and intimidating with broad shoulders and a constructed, relaxed posture, standing at about 6'0". Paleish, patchy olive skin contrasts thick, curly black hair, with the blue-purple tones of his veins and undereyes complementing his otherwise cool complexion. His dark hair is dispersed with golden-looking metallic feathers that he attempts to pass off as dyed highlights. A couple are tucked behind his ears, which he says are an accessory when caught with them uncovered.

His eyes are dark, hooded, and always dangerously heavy, though he never lets them stay closed for long in public, and is always glancing about to keep an eye on his surroundings. They're highlighted by distinct brows, dark lashes, and the faint angles of his face, his features looking much sharper in the dark.​

Clothing

Levon's clothing is typically grungy, straddling the line between full techwear and convenient street fashion. Usually dressed in cargo or bondage pants, a heavy sweater or tech jacket, and compression sleeves hidden beneath, his get-up would be inconvenient to anyone but a paranoid criminal who happens to run cold. Added are silver and iron chain necklaces, bracelets, and rings, fashionable, but mostly means to discourage other creatures from picking fights with him.

When in public, a hood or hat is always pulled over Levon's head, hiding his bronze feathers. Though rarer, he also tends to wear surgical masks to conceal his identity and facial expressions.​

Miscellaneous:

.- Levon typically paints his bronze nails black in order to look more human.
.- Lev has six piercings: two lobes and one helix—all silver—in each of his ears. He had them done by his roommates in high school, while drunk, with needles. He still gets queasy when he sees needles, even if he likes his ear piercings.
.- Levon is strongly repulsed by sharp smells, including that of his own bronze nails and feathers. He also needs to scent his apartment to make navigation easier for his blind cat, leading him to regularly cover up his grimy and metallic smell with lavender lotions and soaps.
.- He almost always wears forearm compression sleeves. It's an attempt to mediate the body aches consequential of his tics.
.- Levon keeps poison capsules and throwing knives on him at all times, labelled in braille.
.- He carries sticky notes and note cards to keep all his fake identities straight.​
Personality:

Withdrawn | Brittle | Obstinate | Desensitized | Methodical | Resourceful | Self-critical | Enigmatic | Volatile | Witty | Bitter​
(Longer description will be added here at a later date)
Likes:

.- Cranberry juice
.- Rave and phonk music
.- Photography
.- People with piercings and tattoos
.- Documentaries and encyclopediae
.- Being immersed in new environments
.- Distractions and instant gratification
.- Dark humor and wordplay
.- Lavender
.- Classic films and literature
.- An Inspector Calls
.- Dim lighting
.- Hands-on crafts (origami, crocheting, etc)
.- Herbal tea
.- Facades
.- Parkour and freerunning​
Dislikes:

.- Facades
.- Vulnerability
.- Decision-making
.- Insects
.- Long showers and baths
.- Personal questions
.- Noise and light pollution
.- The smell of bronze
.- People who don't sign or break his contracts
.- Minimalism
.- Nostalgia
.- The smell of cigarette smoke (when not self-imposed)
.- His family
.- Visiting Infracaelum
.- The effect coffee has on him​


Patterns: clenches his hands, bops his head along to songs, multitasks like mad, sideways glances about when nervous, brushes his cat during sleepy moods, his breaks are taken for him more than they're taken by him, chews gum on missions to stop himself from vocal ticcing, only uses military time, 'instructional' self-talk, regularly talks to inanimate objects as if they are sentient
Health: commitment phobia, Tourette's, recovering from prolonged grief disorder​
History:

.- Levon grew up in Infracaelum as a single child in private school.
.- In high school, he started to get involved with delinquents, a shady crowd, and some less than legal activity.
.- Consequently, Levon ended up unofficially moving away from his family during high school, instead running and living in an illegal student dorm for runaways like himself.
.- With the help of some old friends as contacts, he moved to Gehenna and took up private investigating, producing solo short films in his spare time.
.- After almost six years of devoting his life to researching and private investigating, Levon met and began dating an advocacy journalist and florist named Elias.
.- They went out for about three years, moving in together and adopting a blind cat named Calliope two years in.
.- When Levon was 27, Elias died in a sudden accident while traveling from Infra to Gehenna for the night.
.- In the two years following Elias' death, Levon has been to a grand total of three group therapy sessions, all of which he dipped out of less than halfway through.
.- Some time after Elias' passing, he took up black market dealing, trading contraband and information to citizens, other dealers, and info brokers.
.- He's been wanting to join a community for some time now but hasn't, due to not wanting to start over and become committed to a big change.​


Extra:

.- Levon is unable to do a single thing at a time, instead choosing to multitask every one of his regular chores. This caused him to pick up new interests out of the need to fill up time that would've been used to have an existential crisis.
.- He enjoys cooking but hasn't felt motivated to make anything too special in a while. For some time he's been living on a routine of soups, takeout, TV dinners, and the occasional more intricate dish.​
.- Levon is frighteningly incompetent at anything related to math, science, or technology (disregarding cameras and poisons).
.- Whenever particularly stressed or looking for a distraction, Lev makes rock candy and tea and sits down to do a task.
.- One of Levon's friends from high school was really into dart throwing and decided to teach him. Now his impeccable aim with a dart has evolved into scarily good knife throwing skills.
.- After Elias passed, Levon became very attracted to people who fill up space, be it with their presence or physical closeness.​
.- Lev is semi-fluent in German, Greek, Armenian, and Russian and fluent in English, Braille, and ASL.

Zirs very tall for zir lineage, standing at about 5'9 and definitely an outlier in zir family of 5'7 adults. With a tall and sinewy build, it looks like ze would easily get knocked out by other racers.

Regardless of this aspect of zir figure, Aries is always one to stand tall, oftentimes picking fun at or legitimately criticizing competitors who notice this and choose to underestimate zir. What makes up for their understated build in an industry dominated by strong creatures is the undeniably confident way in which they carry themself, with a relaxed posture and set shoulders, looking comfortable almost wherever they are, something which often gets on others' nerves.


Miscellaneous Information:​
  • They have a horizontal burn mark on their forearm from messing around once in a summer cooking class.

History:
  • Aries grew up in Puerto Rico and moved to Infracaelum with their mother and little sister when they were 16.​
  • They chose to learn English through immersion while completing high school, learning by listening to podcasts and people-watching in their free time.​
  • While still getting settled into life in Arcadia, ze befriended a couple of band kids and decided to take up the drums.​
  • They got their own motorcycle after moving and joined a dirt bike club in high school before going on to professional motorsport.​
  • Vela got signed onto their first racing team at 18, although they didn't become popular until they switched to a bigger company a couple years later.​

Extra:
  • Because of Vela's dust allergy, they make sure to keep their flat almost absurdly clean and take medication with them whenever staying somewhere else.​
  • Vela has a decent following on social media, despite not being very active and the account being partly managed by PR. They post their favorite clips from races and a couple of videos of their work behind the scenes.​
  • Due to learning English mainly by listening, they aren't all too good at reading and writing and often use audio play to understand things.​
  • They got locked out of changing their bios on social media because they kept adding new neopronouns and PR got annoyed.​
  • Reporters default to calling them their last name in articles and during interviews, just because people know them by so many nicknames.​
  • Ze is a proud and frequent emoji user. This trait annoys Priya, who also uses audio play to read text messages and doesn't appreciate its phone's emoji naming conventions.​
  • Vela wants to learn to play bass guitar.​

Appearance
..

 Since separating from Eve and Zael, Aiden has traded in his tattered and stained track clothing for a dark red suede jacket, plain print
T-shirt, and jeans, keeping his battered sneakers for practicality. Though now an honorary member of the Council and far from a typical mortal, he is determined to complete some mortal milestones (from romance to education, career, and risk-related experiences) before being forced by his father to ascend. {Consequently, he's chosen to get his ears pierced and a tattoo, believing they are part of an adventurous, mortal life. His tattoo is a red string design that curls around his left index finger, a tribute to Chester and reminder of his ultimate goal.} Aiden also wears a necklace with a pendant of a golden key. By activating a small shield surrounding the pendant and pulling on it, it magically detaches from the chain and shifts into his primary weapon: a shamshir.

Appearance
Eve would be fairly pale if not from her years on the road, resulting in a moderate tan, sunburn scars, and tan lines visible only on the​
rare occasion she takes off her layers. She would look soft, with dusty brown hair and sun freckles, if not for the fact that her hair is short and choppy (clearly cut with a knife) and nose and jaw sharp, with butterfly rashes and half-healed and infected scrapes and bruises. Eve's blue-gray eyes typically appear unfocused and fixed on a point in the distance, an unsettling effect matched with her torn and bloodied clothing. Typically wearing oversized hoodies and sweaters from donation boxes, she picks them over thinner and short-sleeved clothing even in the summer to give the trio more fabric for gauze and tourniquets. Due to their practicality, she only acquires new clothing once there's nearly no substance left to what remains.
