Character Concept: (Altia, again.)
My personality? Umm… Well, I guess you could say I’m your basic Pycon. I’m great at keeping secrets, I don’t like it when people I’m around fight with each other, I don’t like fighting with others, I’m a bit naïve since I’ve only ever been in my home Pyve and then Mt. Skyinarta. I like taking risks, probably because I don’t get hurt in the same way that other races do, after all, I don’t really feel pain and losing a limb is no big thing (‘cept my head, because then I’d be dead). This is would probably be a problem for anyone I travel with, since I tend to drag people along with me whenever I go experience new things. That’s another thing, stories aren’t good enough for me. Sure, I like sitting ‘round a table and listening and all, but that just makes me want to go visit those places, have those adventures; I don’t take stories of warning very well, either, and like to learn from my mistakes alone.
I am a bit of a drifter, I don’t really care where I go as long as it sounds exciting and I haven’t been to that place before. This makes it easy on any travel companions; they can just pick a direction, any direction, and know that I’ll come along for the ride. Even once we get there and my traveling partner (s) want to part ways, I don’t get all teary-eyed (well, maybe a little) and cry for days on end. In my home Pyve, whenever we said good-bye to someone we said, “Let your heart guide you and your feet take you there.” which basically means that everyone has a different path and that we shouldn’t be afraid to follow it. Reaching a destination is just the beginning of a new adventure.
Speaking of travel, I’m not afraid of hard work. I’ll help set up camp any way I can, do sentry duty, and am more than willing to wake everyone up in the morning since, chances are, I’ll wake up first. I am very much a “sleep when you’re dead,” and “live in the moment” type of person. I see no reason to sleep the day away and live in my dreams when I could be using that time to go and actually do the stuff in my dreams! This used to annoy my Inartan companions to no end. (The no sleeping in, that is.)
This has to be known: I hate walls. I will do whatever possible to not sleep inside. And even if it’s unavoidable, I will stick my head out the window and if there’s no window, I will sleep under someone’s armor. Walls scare me. I mean, you don’t know how well they’re constructed or the last time someone checked to see if it was structurally sound so you have no idea when the thing is going to collapse on you! Sure, my body would be fine, but what if my head got crushed by the debris?! A rock the size of a human’s fist could take out my head, easy! I’m alright when I’m awake, because then, at least, if I do get crushed, it’ll be my own fault since I didn’t move fast enough.
Oh. And I talk. A lot. And sing off-key, dance with no sense of rhythm, climb up onto people’s shoulders without asking, ask too many questions, and am generally embarrassing to be around. |
