[-Cowardly][-Prideful][-Pretentious][-Selfish][-Impulsive]
Altissimo is...a colorful individual. Definitely the ladykiller, mankiller, he swoons the entire crowd no matter who they are. So he likes to think, anyway. He enjoys staring in the mirror and admiring himself in his downtime and most definitely loves to revel in the many fans he's come to generate through his career as a travelling trick-rider on Eden. Everything should be about him, and he is probably the most infuriating individual to interact with on most occasions.
Strengths:
- Flexible: As a gymnast this is kind of a given.
- Great upper arm strength
- His devilishly good looks
Weaknesses:
- Vanity often comes with a price, he easily gets caught up in himself at the worst times
- Cowardly: Has a lot of confidence on stage, but if he attempts any effort to stand up to himself or save the day usually he ends up turning tail and runs. Gotta protect the face.
- Acts first, thinks later. If it sounds like a good idea, he won't even hesitate to question it and just dives right in.
- Stemming off of that, he has a terrible method of choosing his words. These impulses often might get him punched in the face. Actually almost got him killed, once.
History:
Altissimo grew up on a small planet of mixed species and races, a mishmash melting pot of anything you could imagine. He was quite poor growing up, only wanting true success and fortune by escaping the slums, so he had to save up for a ticket to get him out of this solar system.
He got by through trick-riding gigs with his horse nanuk, living on the streets. Obviously he needed more than this if he wanted to leave this sad planet for a better life, elsewhere. So, next to the shows where he could scrape up extra tips doing fun stunts on his horse-bird Nanuk, he resorted to the less glamorous life of male stripping. After all, with a man of such good looks and great upper arm strength, it was an easy job to find for him.
Years passed, things were going good. Then Altissimo got robbed. Badly. He lost his life's savings, almost lost his horse, and was kicked to the street living with what he could carry on his back. He was growing desperate. An opportunity arose for the Rhinodon to make just about everything he needed to get out,-it was practically the ticket just within his grasp. Through his exciting life as a stripper he picked up on one of his frequent's conversations about a particular local mob boss residing on the neighboring planet, EDEN, that ran an underground business just below the club that offered favors for service. In his disparity, he decided to jump on this opportunity, and all he had to do was illegally mine some very pricey geodes that lied beneath a preservation.
Easy enough, right?
Well, getting in was almost near impossible, and time was running out. These favors only stood for so long, after all. So being the brilliant mind he was, Altissimo was able to obtain a cheaper knock-off version of the geode in question, presenting it to the boss with all the confidence in the world.
Obviously they saw right through him, and he barely made it out alive before he was able to escape on horseback out of town.
Now, stranded on this planet with an angry gang on his tail out for his head, and no money to his name, the Rhinodon needed to escape. Badly. So he ran. Ran and ran until he came across the spotlights of a festival happening along the countryside, the annual Springtime Celebration of Eden that just so happened to be housing a travelling circus troupe. He was able to take very temporary solitude in the vicinity much to the host's kindness, sleeping in the stables with Nanuk, watching his back every waking hour.
Then he met her. The radiant and beautiful moth that would soon be his savior. He practically begged her for a job, anything. With her strict guidelines of being a runaway, he most definitely fit the bill. But, he lied in his shame, passing it off that he was merely trying to hide from a make-believe stalker. They let him aboard, and he now had solitude from his past mistakes. Or did he??
Audition:
"Alright Nan m'boy, let's give 'em what they've all been waiting for!" The pale rhinodon said to the horse, who merely clicked his beak in response. This was stupid. Why were they even here. They were going to get in so much trouble, probably. Alt cracked his neck with a smirk, turning to pull himself onto the horse's back with ease. They waited below the entrance as the muffled sound of the ringmaster's voice called for him to enter. Ahh such sweet music, the Moth's voice...
The rhinodon carefully pulled himself to his feet atop Nanuk's back, clicking his tongue signalling for Nanuk to go. They galloped into the large ring, outstretching his arms as the light hit his face and he shot a wink at the Moth who sat in the stands. Nan galloped around the arena, his stride smooth and steady as Altissimo gracefully lifted one leg, balancing like an elegant swan. He leaned forward, grabbing hold of the holsters bolted to Nan's saddle, using the grip to pull his foot off of his back and within seconds the rhinodon balanced on both hands.
They galloped around the arena as Alt extended his legs, carefully spinning around with help of the holsters to gain momentum and he swiftly managed to swivel back into the seat effortlessly. With another click of his tongue Nanuk trotted to a halt center stage and as rehearsed, they both simultaneously took a bow before the ringmaster.
Then Nanuk bowed a little further and the rhinodon slide off, face first into the ground.
Nailed it.
Extra tidbits:

- Has a mega-crush on Elizaveta. Help her.
- Leaf colors are coral, symbolically in roses this usually means 'desire'
