Description I am in love with this art update, let me tell you-
Also I fought for an hour with the format of this app, so if some parts of it are eff'd up... I'm sorry. x-x



"Er... what?"

Basic Information

Name: Autumn [AKA Leafy]
Age: 16? 17? A teen
Height: 5'4 / 164 cm
Species: Bookworm
Species Description: More information on wormies can be found here: Closed Species [Bookworm]. Autumn in particular emulates the main emotions of the last soul they devoured (perpetual confusion, impatience), as well as their default "innocence" brought on by being a figure of a horror genre. Also, Autumn seems to feel some sort of guilt or remorse for going with the natural feeling of needing to eat -- souls, that is. Their voracious appetite cannot be easily quelled by just food, either; they feed off emotions of those around them (sometimes reflect the same emotions when sated or dealing with overflow), as well as anything else that can fit in their mouth... even if it could be deemed inedible by other standards. Bookworms who eat souls are rumored to not feel much remorse, as it is all natural... and yet...

Abilities:

  • Leaf/Tulip Generation; Randomly, spontaneously generates leaves on themselves, in their wake, in their hands, on people they touch, etc etc. Can now control what kinds of leaves are conjured, albeit not yet how many. Seems to favor maple leaves... || Can also create tulip petals, although the ability is fairly useless except to woo a certain someone...
  • Basic Blood Magic; Can create bloodstones, and may absorb some abilities of those whose blood inhabits the bloodstones they create. (Bloodstones are literally like candy to Autumn.) Effects are weak and temporary, but good in a pinch if necessary. Can also track certain people via the original bloodstones made in their first year, if necessary.

Personality
"Sweet" | Quiet | Impatient | Perpetually perplexed | Impulsive | Restrainer | Possessive | Flight over fight
"What lurks behind those quiet eyes?"

A creature of habit, this one is. A follower, and by no means a leader, which is perhaps by all the loud and flamboyant characters are drawn to them. Only when things get to be too slow or too simple... or too out of the norm doe the impatient side of Autumn show -- in snappish actions, gestures, or words. They are definitely able to have an attitude, and this may have only been enhanced through continuous exposure to their roommates over time. Oddly... they don't seem to have a flare for the dramatic. Or even a remote appreciation of it...

Autumn is quiet in the most literal sense. They don't like to talk, would rather communicate through body or sign language, or chalk to chalkboard if at all possible, and sometimes will insist on it. In this quiet state, they're more prone to watch the people around them, watch how they interact with each other, and probably judge them pretty harshly behind those curious red eyes of theirs. Being quiet has its perks, because it's what allows for the quick jumps to surprise people, or to startle someone out of doing what they're doing.

Lately they've become rather well known for being a nuisance in places where they may not be needed... grabbing friends before they do stupid things and very literally just running off with them. Whether it's out of wanting to prevent them from doing something stupid or out of some other motivation isn't quite clear...

History

Pre-Otherworlde

Bookworms are born from the culmination of emotions when people read the soul-imbued book enough times to form attachment. Born from the pages of ink, Autumn took on a physical form representing their murder-mystery book in the most innocent of ways. The only idea of bloodshed found on their particular page is evident in their eyes... and maybe in the way they've lived to survive. Bookworms, being rumored to live off of souls (particularly of their readers) are lone creatures, for those who befriend them inevitably end up on the menu for when the soul craving comes around.

Autumn, however... was different. Their direct siblings of the murder-horror genre took enjoyment out of the hunt and bloody slaughter of their prey, out of slow devouring of the soul... Autumn took (and takes) no enjoyment. In fact, illness is what replaced endorphin rush... and they were unable to hide such a thing upon stumbling across one of their siblings' more... violent hunts. Unable to look past the horror and betrayal on the torn bodies' faces, Autumn could not eat the "leftovers" and in fact fled the scene. It was strange, but intriguing, and while their siblings argued about the younger's fate, they let them go, to see what would come of a bookworm with such... "humanness".

It culminated in a young Autumn being shuffled around foster families until being dropped into the laps of the brother of the victim, and his wife. Their niece had survived the murder of that night, and was trapped with Autumn for the duration of her fall break off from school; it didn't go quite well. While they "bonded" (really it was rather onesided, the girl seemed to have some major turn offs for the poor wormie), it allowed Autumn's siblings the chance to catch up to their wayward younger, and to realize they had the rest of a mess to clean up. In this clean up, Autumn was forced to devour the soul of the girl who had attached to them -- finding out partially because she had read their soul book and as a result, became the next imminent target. However, devouring the soul and the clean up was anything but actually clean -- when law enforcement arrived, Autumn was left to be framed for the murders and "cannibalism". Being too young for such a thing, reportedly anyway, Autumn was held at the station until they could find someone to come and pick them up, perhaps the next family listed to care for the underage "kid"?

All they found was a department full of slaughtered law enforcement, and Autumn nowhere in sight....

Y1 -- Otherworlde

Autumn somehow caught the attention of an incubus named Darcy Abbot nearly right off the bat of arriving, probably for looking "cute" -- and was sucked into a roommate situation with Darcy's friend Lilac, as well as the incubus himself. Things started out great, before Autumn realized several things all at once: 1) they absolutely hated how Darcy treated other creatures with his flirtatious ways, 2) they really loved everything on campus that could be eaten (IE everything), 3) alcohol was not something they could hold, 4) Lilac was really sweet smelling... tasting... and attractive all over.

Before classes even began, Autumn was surrounded with all the wonders they'd never experienced before, and was all too keen in experiencing them. Impulse led to them kissing their sweet-tasting roommate after being kissed by another student.... and impulse led them to eating ants in front of horrified students on the campus. Impulse led to a lot of things, rather -- bravely approaching another silent student and becoming her mentor as well as friend... and not to mention picking a fight with someone a foot taller than them. Autumn quickly established themselves as someone who was good at observing, as well as literally snapping at unwanted fingers, and when studies finally came around, they excelled in their class. Sure, it came with a fairy companion they didn't necessarily want but... they found a kinship with their bookie of a professor! Who knows what Autumn is... haha... haaaa....

Summer promised a break, but for having passed only one class, Autumn was forced to enroll in others. Both of their roommates failed, but that's okay, Autumn has no judgment to hold over them. For now during the hot summer months, Autumn will just try to juggle their studies... tournament watching... and these odd bubbling feelings for a certain pastry devil that just won't go away....

Misc. Information

In being emotionally unstable, it's usually affected by the level of hunger that the wormie faces. Seems Autumn's in a constant state of needing to nibble on things, for whatever reason...
The Glasgow Grin is a hellish grin that jaggedly splits Autumn's face when they get to be a little TOO hungry. It's a warning sign of the second hunger, and it literally tears Autumn's skin from ear to ear, distorting their voice if they try to talk.
Has a stuffed chicken in the shape of a cube that they tend to throw at Darcy at prime moments.
Autumn's particular page of association is 94, tattooed on their left shoulderblade.
They gave themselves the name "Autumn" because of the leaves they conjure up all the time.
Autumn's voice is warbly and shaky, often stumbling or stuttering over themselves... similar to someone reading out loud in class. They're pretty self-conscious about it.
Their voice also cracks sometimes...
In the bookbag is their soul book, a chalkboard, a box of multi colored chalk, four bloodstones -- their own, Darcy's, Lilac's, and Sawyer's -- as well as a box of band-aids.
Bound to a fairy named Émaía unwillingly. She's often found nesting in Autumn's scarf or in their room. She is a thief, and seems to struggle with power over Autumn entirely...
Feeds off the secondhand emotions of those around them, sometimes absorbing the emotions and displaying them to the world around them. Might be where their "attitude" came from...
When the second hunger, the hunger for souls, strikes, they have minor soul perception.
Autumn has no physical gender at the moment; genitalia will form based on their romantic partner's preference if things grow intimate (beyond simple/heated makeouts).
Is also a virgin so honestly has no idea this is what's in their future haha oops-

Character Relationships

| - Likes | - Dislikes | - Unsure | - Interested By | - Saddened By | - Fearful Of | - Crushing On | - Love |

Aila- [TBA -- partner for LIN 101, judgment yet to be passed]
Andrea-  || This girl seems to enjoy hiding behind Autumn... as if they're a good meat shield. Nice girl otherwise, likely, but pretty damn confusing....
Chip- || Literally the first person they met on campus, introducing them to the food and a game called Battleship. Autumn knows Chip liked their leaves, but lately their paths have grown apart...
Chloe- || The fellow quiet girl who has a chalkboard like Autumn! Instant kinship. Autumn plays translator for the girl, though doesn't always have answers for all of her questions. She's the reason they've mastered how to shrug.
Cederic- || Your puppy faces mean nothing, and you should get your nosebleed problem checked out. BU
Cressida- [TBA -- professor for PTS 101, but seems likable...]
Darcy- || It took a bit, but Darcy really grew on Autumn. A startling thing, to realize they really care about the incubus to actually try and keep the kid out of trouble... to near obnoxious levels. Though Darcy's level of, er, flamboyance and flirting quickly annoy Autumn, Darcy's someone Autumn doesn't exactly want to say goodbye to. Probably would consider the redhead demon one of their dearest and best friends, honestly.
Dhakiyah- || They had an assignment to do once with Dhakiyah's brother, and got a package deal. They were both pretty cool, and she's got pretty eyes, Autumn would say.
Diya- || They were paired for an assignment and Diya came in a package deal with his sister. Overall not a bad experience... a bit weird, but not bad.
Edin- || The flamboyance, the fakeness, the... geesh. They didn't mean to butt heads with the mage at first meeting, but man... whatever.
Émaía/Emma- || UGH.
Jasper- || A professor who seems to know a lot, who's read a lot of the same books as Autumn, and knows Autumn's secret as a bookworm. However, Autumn feels a kinship with the djinn because of this, seeking to both befriend and impress the blond... somehow. SOMEHOW.
Lilac- || \Autumn doesn't know what to place these feelings as, and it scares them... but not to the point they reject the feelings -- quite the opposite. What scares them more is how Lilac of all people would react to Autumn being a bookworm, a creature meant to devour. Though they do their best to shake such thoughts and just focus on the present -- Lilac is the reason behind the tulips, and also a direct catalyst to a lot of Autumn's more... "romantic" impulses.
Luca- || The angel seems nice enough anyway, but in the wake of all the SUDDEN attention to the beanie, Autumn just as many mixed feelings. Cry.
Orion- || Is this guy really that crude about others with handicaps, or just really really ignorant...? >->
Rosalita- || Another mute, but also another who likes to hide. Seems like a friendly and sweet girl but... Autumn squints. There's something a bit different about her.
Sawyer- || They promised to teach Sawyer how to read if Sawyer stopped poking them, but then the hybrid just seemed to disappear... sad. At least they have the bloodstone to remember Sawyer by!
Stitches- || The sudden attention on the beanie was odd... and maybe worse because the tall scarecrow cockblocked the cockblocker... who'd have thought-
Wendy- [TBA, interaction in process, seems like an interesting creature...]
Yuzuki- [TBA, interaction pending]


Roleplay Preferences

Where do you like to roleplay? In order: Skype | Google Docs | Notes


Preferences or limits? I prefer literature RP, but script is fine. COMMUNICATION if you want certain things to happen... also R18 romance is forbidden unless you're Lilac. Sorry~

Samples

        Script Sample:
Autumn:
*and they chose that moment to walk in, hands already plucking at the gloves they wore, a fresh band aid on their cheek* ... >-> We aren't... *they had no idea where Lilac was at the moment, probably baking with that elementalism professor (Chrono?) or something* *but Autumn wasn't exactly hostile, tugging the beanie off their head with a tiny sigh* How you? *they were trying to make an effort to speak more, at Lilac's insistence, but it wasn't often they had time alone with Darcy. Maybe this could be a good chance to sit and get to know the other...*

        Literature Sample:
With the defrost came the necessary knowledge that the end of the term was upon them, and with that, the bookworm was off into the Castle, to take a good look around what could be found in terms of other classes to take. They loved the Linguistics courses, of course, and thought about continuing along those classes, but what if there was something else that interested them? So into the Castle and into the main lobby did they go, where the course catalog sat per usual, on its stand.

Behind Autumn's steps scattered a few leaves. The Castle wasn't really a place that they tread very often... it was a bit too spooky for their taste, and a lot of mishaps tended to happen over in the Lounge, to boot. Today seemed quiet, however, perhaps with people getting ready for the tournament or the like? Regardless, Autumn opened the heavy tome with a wide-eyed red stare, eyes focused on the first department that they'd randomly flipped to -- Potions. "Hmm..."

Well it looks like another year has gone by, which means that once again you must sign up for classes. Sign up before May 7, 2017 or risk potentially disappearing without a trace.

Oh, thank you! That's always such a nice thing to hear, really. \QvQ/
I won't be very free for roleplay until about the 1st of August or so, if that's okay? But I would be happy to, your boy seems like a great OC himself, and interaction between the two of them would be really interesting I think~

Oh, that's perfectly fine with me, most of the time I got nothing but time on my hands anyways. 
And I think the nature-y, outgoing guy and the adorable bookworm(which is a really ingenius species idea by the way) would be quite interesting indeed.
