basics

appearance/quirks

appearance: Val stands at a thin, wobbly 6'2". Watching him, even when he stands still, one could adopt the notion that, quite inexplicably, he had experienced a few more growth spurts than he was truly meant to. While his body is stretched and pulled, leaving his limbs lanky and his gait a bit ungainly, as if he never really grew into his height, there is a solidity to the fine grip of his hands and the bundle of his shoulders. He moves wth measured step, and while he still manages to be clumsy on occasion, there is a distinct capability for a certain measure of agility in the way he manages to recover from such instances.
He has a long, pale face framed by a sharp jaw. The length and the curve of his nose resembles a beak, and with his dark, apprehensive eyes and his unruly black hair, he has the look of a bird whose feathers have been ruffled. His ashen skin is often a pallid shade, and is littered in dark freckles.
Aside from the shifts in his form that arise from his ability, there are certain aspects of his appearance that can fluctuate. Depending on his emotional state, what he is being faced with, or the phase of time, his visage will grow more gruesome. His skin will turn impossibly grey, his eyes will turn lackluster, and the lines and bags beneath his gaze will become more pronounced. Discoloration will bloom over his throat, woulds will stretch out over his arms, and a hollow will carve itself into his chest. An overall gloom of decay will hang over his body. This is a fleeting state that he is completely unaware of, and that he can usually shake off after a moment, once he returns to his normal state of mind.
quirks: He prefers to walk, speak, and process things slowly. He likes to take his time. He used to have a stutter when he was young, which accounts for the measured cadence to his words. When he's nervous, he either tugs on a strand of his dark hair, or he gently presses his hand to the base of his throat, as if to protect himself. His posture is straight, and there is a sort of practiced stillness to the way he holds himself - as if he's dying to fidget yet won't allow himself to. He tends to stare, despite his aversion to impoliteness.

strengths/weaknesses/ability

strengths: devoted, steadfast, loyal, compassionate, protective, methodical, passionate, thoughtful, creative
weaknesses: selfish, fearful, cowardly, volatile, has difficulty expressing his emotions, has tendency to repress inner urges, fatalistic, occasionally dishonest in favor of avoiding conflict, ironically has aversion to change
ability: Val possesses the power of rapid and intense adaptation. The ability is heavily tied to his will to survive, and often relies on Val's emotional state and gut reactions to given circumstances. Despite his methodical characteristics, his ability is very flighty and often out of his control. He has a good measure of handle on regulating the effects of it once his body has begun to change, though it is usually spurred on by a split second inclination. Additionally, while his ability is mainly inherently one of the manipulation of his own form and of defense and self-preservation, in some cases, Val has been able to manipulate the environment around him in a manner that serves as an offense. This takes a good deal of focus and will power, which Val has been able to develop over time due to his favor towards dedication.

history/other

history: This will be revealed in RP, and updated here as it does.
theme song(s): Sense - Tom Odell | La Mer - Charles Trenet | Little Dreamer - Future Islands | Dandelion - Boards of Canada
other: Val's first language is French, and he possesses a moderately strong accent. His mother tongue will appear in times of stress or in endearments. Val is left handed. Around his neck, he wears a chain with a ring on it. He is perpetually wearing a shabby, ruffled suit. He sometimes carries a camera, and seems unaware that it appears at will and does not work. His favorite color is blue.

[HuntedFox]

Sometimes... we tell you things just to confuse you– to haunt your dreams... your thoughts, every waking moment... long after you’ve faced them. Diane

Spoiler: ~Basics~

Name:~
Diane Lilith Mayon

Nickname(s):~
Dyne (DINE - "dyin'")

Age:~
She appeared 22 in the human form she usually took. Despite being over two hundred years old, she died extremely young. For a demon, that is. Well under a thousand years. Unfortunately, she never really kept count of her exact age.

Sexuality:~
Heterosexual

Previous Occupation:~
Unemployed. Unless you count wandering and messing around with people's lives. She found herself tiny month long jobs every few years, like working at a small pet or flower shop.

Likes:~
Confusing people, guinea pigs with hats on, danger, turtles, watching people, chocolate, interaction, thrills, passion flowers, kittens (and cats), cashews, eggs.

Dislikes:~
Sudden bright lights, pineapple, angels, mundane situations, being outsmarted, feeling confused, the smell of wall-paint, white clothes, really salty foods.

Fears:~
Diane has spent the majority of her life convincing herself she wasn't afraid of anything. That she WAS fear, and that being fear was good. However... the past few years she has been becoming more and more uneasy with the soundness of her beliefs.​

Spoiler: ~Appearance/Quirks~

Appearance:~

Diane on the surface would seem like a fairly normal person at first glance, just an every-day person. At least until you catch that smirk and almost perpetual glint in her eyes.
She stands at a somewhat near average height of 5’6 1/2, which she would make sure you know.
Diane’s body is fairly proportional, her type sturdily resting somewhere between rectangle and hourglass with a medium sized chest.
Her long, nearly black hair hangs naturally wavy down to her mid-back, framing her heart-shaped face. Freckles dot along her light toned nose and cheeks, when she doesn’t have access to makeup, that is.


Quirks:~
Diane tends to talk in a smooth or amused tone more often then not, putting out an air of knowledgeability and control. When in a situation that does not call for a certain reaction, she puts in a well kept straight face, otherwise it’s probably a smirk or a frown. When nervous or apprehensive in any way, she inclines to dominantly cross her arms, accompanied by a scowl or frown.
She barely stretches her arms out away from herself unless it’s for practical use, preferring to stay in less vulnerable positions.​

Spoiler: ~Strengths/Weaknesses/Ability~

Strengths:~
Usually calm in tense situations, independent, virtually ‘fearless’, adventurous, decision-making personality.​

Weaknesses:~
Reckless, impatient, sly, usually insensitive about sensitive topics such as death or injuries, manipulative when needed, a bit arrogant, devious.​

Ability:~
Generation (making visible) and manipulation of a smokey substance that Diane refers to as “Aura”. Her particular aura is black, which Diane only found out when she first made it visible seeing as she don’t not have the ability to see aura’s. When she controls it, it acts like material matter and allows her to pick things up with it. So far she has not found a particular weight limit, aside from needing to generate more aura the heavier the object is. ​

In both forms (Human/Shadow), Diane is able to sink into the ground or any solid, moderately think substance and literally become a ‘fuzzy’ circular shadow upon wherever she sunk in. This allows her to move freely upon the ground until she surfaces again.​

Her last, perhaps most dramatic ability is her capacity to shift into what is commonly known among demons as a “Shadow form”. In this process she becomes a gruesome, fear-inducing creature much more primitive than her ‘human’ form. She becomes the embodiment of every petrifying bonfire tale, every nightmare, and every recollection of the stories of demons of old.
Her body turns into a black, shadowless silhouette, stretching out two feet taller than her normal height. Her arms and legs grow long by stay thin, her hands turning into large, hideous claws. Her legs bend backwards, her feet become larger and grow huge talons as well.
During this, it is not just her physical, outward appearance that changes. Something breaks in her mind, what shred of humanity she has. The urge to devour, mutilate, or destroy becomes larger and more instinctual.

Spoiler: ~History/Other~

History:~
To be determined.

Monster ~ Skillet

The Wolf ~ Phildel
