Mlen's Request

Gender:  Female
Age:  15
Nationality:  Italian/German American
Sign:  Sagittarius
Fashion Sense:  She is an anarchist punk and dresses in that style.  She usually wears red or black as the dominant color.  Her clothes tends to be ripped and stitched together and the anarchist A as well as other patches would be added for good measure.  Fishnets and chains are occasionally used as accessories but she does not always use it.  She also wears other colors and types of clothes, but it's usually a special occasion if that were to happen.  She does not wear dresses or skirts; if she does, it's a miniskirt that's ripped or it is a dress that correlates with something Garvin is wearing.
She has 44 piercing all over her body.  Therefore, the amount of piercings and where they are located are up to the artist.  If you insist on know where they are exactly, then it is the following (4 on each brow, 2 on her nose, 2 snake bites, 2 tongue piecing, 13 on each ear, and 4 belly button piercings)
Also of note is that she straightens her hair; it's naturally VERY curly (to see how curly, look at Desi's hair).  She really does not like how curly it is.
Personality:  Maude is, at heart, a very insecure yet mature woman who is world weary, but still wishes that the world was better.  Unlike Dawit though, she uses violence to improve the world: Anarchy is a temporary moment of insanity that would wake those that've become used to 'violence' and encourage them to start a new, better way of life and, even better, government.  Because of this, she will openly call herself an Anarchist, Marxist, and Nazi; she aims to shock and raise eyebrows.  Other than that, though, she regularly adapts the persona of an anarchist punk: she is violent, foul mouthed, prone to insulting (and shooting) people she doesn't like.  She does like certain people, but she will not admit it right away; it's only obvious in subtle ways.  The most blunt is how she would never shoot someone she considers a friend.  She is prone to keeping secrets and hiding her concerns.
Background:  Maude was the youngest of her siblings and the only girl in the group.  Because of this, she was expected to be a mother and produce more soldiers for the crime family.  On her 10th birthday, she found out that she was a good fighter and strategist.  Angered by the attitude others had for her, she dedicated herself to debunking the idea that women's only place was for reproduction.  As she grew older, she became a teacher and leading strategist of the crime family.  Still, she did not shun her 'secondary' role as a means of reproduction.  She is currently pregnant with her step brother's baby.  While she does not see herself as a mother, she does have a spot in her heart for the developing baby that grows more and more the closer it gets to being born.  But that does not mean she will not complain and curse at it whenever it hurts.

Nationality:  Italian/German American
Sign:  Aries
Fashion Sense:  First and foremost, Garvin is not a crossdresser; it's a common misconception thanks to the title 'Gender Bender'.  The best way to describe his fashion style is androgynous, although if he wore men's clothes, the only thing that would separate him from a man is his hair style.  Speaking of, his hair actually just goes to his shoulders at its longest and his chin at the shortest.  He has a very long rattail in the back that goes to his butt.
He likes to wear feminine shirts, but he never wears skirts or dresses.  He wears pants or shorts.  All of the clothes he wears are made by himself, so you can go all out in terms of design.  Of all the characters, he would be most likely to wear anything (except skirts/dresses).  His goal is to seduce and to confuse.
Of note is that he wears a choker around his neck with a heart on it.  He got it from Dawit and it's like a promise ring to the two.  Also, he has a mole under each eye.  If you forget these, that is ok.  He is recognizable without them.  But they add character to him.
Personality:   Garvin is a very hyperactive teenager; he is constantly smiling and giggling.  When you pay closer attention to his actions, though, it becomes obvious that there is something off about him.  First of all, he does not know the meaning of personal space; if he does, he doesn't care about others being comfortable:  he is normally too close for comfort, overly affectionate, and prone to grabbing people's arms/etc.  His sexuality is on full display at all times: he struts and is prone to flirting and teasing.  Outside school, he is also prone to one night stands and very promiscuous activities; no one but his family knows about this, however.  Although his default mode seems to be happy, he does anger easily, and it is scary!  He will kill people if he is angry.
Background:  Garvin was the first child of his father's second marriage (he was born out of wedlock); he is also the only one of the siblings with light skin.  Because of his feminine appearance, his father decided to set him up for a specific job for the crime family: prostitute.  After his initiation, he was sent to learn all the details from a teacher, who ended up mistreating him, leading to the already impressionable Garvin to become even more confused about everything related to sex and relationships.  He started a relationship with Desi shortly after this; years later, he became Dawit's boyfriend.  Because of previous experiences, Garvin ends up being very abusive towards Desi, despite still 'being' with him.

Gender:  Male
Age:  17
Nationality:  African American
Sign:  Leo
Fashion Sense:  Dawit is classified as a mild metrosexual.  He would not get a manicure, but he normally wears formal wear when he is not playing sports.  Normally, his wardrobe would include button down shirts, vests, sweaters, hats, etc.  Later on, after his relationship with Garvin started, he would wear more jewelry and accessories to go with his clothes.  Despite most of the art looking like he has an 'emo haircut', his hair is more spiky and a little out of control.  It is very hard to maintain and often goes to the style shown in the profile by default.  Still, he accepts the emo haircut as cute and would wear it.  Like Garvin, he wears a choker with a heart on it; it is their promise ring.
Personality:  He is a fairly mellow dude; Dawit is nice to everyone he meets, even those that probably do not deserve his compassion.  He never seems to anger at anyone or anything, making him relatively popular amongst his peers.  He is best friends with animals and children; they just adore him.  (if a dog goes missing in the neighborhood, there is a 90% chance the owner would find it with Dawit)  Dawit bases his attitude towards others on his religion, Roman Catholic, believing that people neglect the core teaching of compassion and forgiveness.  Therefore, he believes that by acting as a role model, he will convince others to follow his lead.  He does not care if one is of another religion or hates religion all together; what matters most is that this person should be nice to others.  Strangely, this seems to have an affect on most people.  Everyone seems to love him as soon as he opens his mouth or gives them a warm smile.
The problem, however, is that instead of confronting the things that do make him mad, Dawit instead repressing it; therefore, it might come back later, leading to violent outbursts, normally vocal.  This is extremely rare, however.  He has a primal fear of water, related to a past event that almost leads to his death.  Although he forgave the bullies that lead to it, his fear remains to this day.  (He also cannot swim)
Background:  Dawit was born to a poor family; he is an only child.  At one point, during an early age, he was thrown into the ocean during a field trip by two bullies older than him.  He almost drowned, but was saved by the coast guard.  For weeks afterwards, the same bullies teased him constantly about the incident, leading to Dawit being in a panicked state for months.  To this day, he still cannot stand water, but can at least take a shower and drink water.  Because of his intelligence, he was accepted into a program called the XYZ Program, which moves intelligent students from poor areas (Harlem in his case) to places of higher education; so, he moved to New Knaan and now lives with several other participants.  He is also in several sports at school and is a singer at his church.  He is currently Garvin's boyfriend; previously, he had been in three other relationships (two girls, one guy), but all three had remained at kissing and holding hands while the one with Garvin has gone deeper.  They had an informal/unofficial marriage ceremony already.

Gender:  Female
Age:  16
Nationality:  Russian/Irish/French/Greek/British American
Sign:  Cancer
Fashion Sense:  She is prone to wearing unisex clothes.  Her normal set of clothes would be jeans and a regular looking T-shirt.  She normally wears a big, baggy, red jacket, even when it's hot out.  Something unique about her style is that she wears mix matched socks!  
Otherwise, she is rather plain compared to her friends.  She is not used to dressing up, so when she does, she is usually very embarrassed.  
Personality:  Erin is a very shy person; normally, unless she knows the person or is in a decent mood, she would only speak when spoken to.  She is very considerate of others to the point that she will most likely blame herself for problems that occur and jump the gun on what others think of her or her work.  Unlike Dawit, though, his attitude was beaten into her by her family and her default emotion is sadness.  There is also an issue of inferiority when it comes to her actions and creative work.
She has been diagnosed with Depression and Schizophrenia, and is prone to suicide attempts.  There are scars all over her body.  At this moment in the story, she has episodes of audio and visual hallucinations brought on by stress or trigger items.  Erin is exceptionally paranoid about others.  Her speech is starting to show signs of 'word salad' (e.g. when the stuff one says does not seem to connect).
Much like Dawit, she also has anger issues, but these bursts come more often and she feels immediately remorseful.  
Background:  Erin lived in Nevada for most of her childhood, compared to the others who lived in NYC.  She was the second oldest child in her family and the youngest daughter.  It seemed like she was inferior to her older sister, who seemed like the perfect daughter.  This lead to parental neglect, verbal abuse, and a push for her to follow her sister's footsteps.  Combined with the violent tendencies of her autistic brothers, it made for a stressful childhood.  
Shortly after moving to New Knaan, she started to show signs of schizophrenia and depression, but action was not taken until her first suicide attempt.  Right now, she is in special ed, sees a therapist weekly, and takes medication for her symptoms.  Although she convinces herself that she doesn't need to take the pills…

Gender:  Male
Age:  27
Nationality:  Italian American
Sign:  Libra
Fashion Sense:  Desi's fashion sense is even more outdated than his siblings; he is permanently stuck in the 70's.  Therefore, leisure suits and bell bottoms cover half of his wardrobe.  Amusing, he has a hairy chest, much to the dismay of almost any modern person.  Outside that, though, his default set of clothes is a simple pair of jeans and a sleeveless black shirt, which he wears to his welding job.  On his arm, he has a burnt symbol of the crime family, but he always has it covered unless he is on the job as a crime member.  Something he never goes anywhere without is pendent heirloom that he wears on a gold chain; it belonged to his mom.
Personality:  The man is very bipolar in personality as he alternates between two different personalities depending upon the situation.  His 'normal' personality is a happy go lucky, childish personality.  Always smiling, Desi is eager for friendships and having fun.  He loves playing with kids, as they are nicer to him than adults.  There is a hint of desperation in how he acts in this mode: he seeks to please everyone, no matter how impossible.  But he sincerely believes in everything he feeds people to keep them close to him.  That includes a more promiscuous habit of multiple lovers, although he claims that he loves all of them.
The second personality is a cold, business-oriented personality that he uses when he is working for the crime family.  In this mode, he is capable of killing and manipulating anyone without a hint of remorse.  Sure, deep down, he does regret killing people, but he does not express it openly in this mode and he forgets about it pretty quickly.  His family means the world to him, especially his siblings.
Background:  He is the oldest child of the three, the heir to the second in command position, and the only offspring of his father's first marriage.  His mom died during labor.  Adding to the father's wounds was that the boy looked a lot like his mother (something mentioned even to this day).  He vented his frustrations on his poor son through abuse and very early introduction to violence, isolation, and sex.  Especially violence.  Desi was enamored by Garvin pretty early on; he was a pretty boy, no one could deny that, and when temptation came, he didn't have the endurance to push away.  Ya, Desi is just as confused as Garvin.  Shortly before the two siblings left for New Knaan, Maude became pregnant with Desi's child, which made Garvin a very angry boy, creating a spark that would lead to an abusive relationship.

OTHER REFS:

Spoiler:

Gender:  Female
Age:  '17'  (She ages rapidly throughout the series)
Race:  Human
Fashion Sense:  Because she was raised in the late 19th century, her fashion sense is often limited to long dresses.  I highly suggest looking up late 1800 dresses to get an idea of what she'd wear.  Her hair is always worn long, although it can always be put up.  The only exception to this is when she is cross dressing as a man.  Here, her breasts are bound, her hair is put up in a ponytail, and she wears more masculine clothes.  To see those, click her title *points up*; there is a detailed pic of her there.  She also has burn marks on her back from her childhood.
There are two things that are required in her design: Because of her status in Purgatory, she has a very ugly looking noose-like scar around her neck.  She wears a choker to hide it.  If you do not include a choker, at least include a scar there.  Also needed is a necklace.  It has a red droplet crystal on it.
Personality:  Despite having lost her innocence early in her life, she still holds onto what little she has left of that innocence since her mind was whipped.  As a result, she is wide eyed and naive about life.  She really wants life to be happy, but it does not mean she isn't aware of the tougher things in life; she's just hopeful.  Because she has the mind of a child, she is pretty stupid when it comes to people and the basics.  Even so, she is firm in her beliefs and will do whatever she can to achieve what she wants.  Mavie is very courageous.  Strangely enough, she also has an intense obsession with wings; she is under the impression that everyone in Purgatory has wings, and is eagerly waiting for the day her's starts to grow.
Background:  Mavie was brought into Purgatory by an angel who promised a better life than the one she had.  
(For reference:  Mavie was a child born in late 19th century Sheffield, England.  She was born into a couple related to Parliament.  Because she looked very different from both her parents, they immediately assumed she was a changeling.  This led to abuse, hot iron, and ultimately chaining (which included a metal claps around her neck) her in an alleyway to die when she did not yell out in a fairy language and run away.  She stayed there for years, kept alive by a few compassionate people passing by.  She was eventually saved by a school teacher (who might of been Jewish) and taken in as a student and daughter.  She took on his last name and stayed with him.  After many other events, the parents found out about the teacher and killed him for not giving her up.  She saw this happen and killed her parents in both anger and self defense.  She was sent to prison for killing them.)  
She does not remember her past, although some side effects have popped up on occasion; the biggest of which when she has panic attacks, she claws at her choker, as if something is suffocating her.  Mavie is adopted by Ro, Tugoi, and Vis.
After the death of a friend, she indirectly causes an attempted rebellion of the working class and a series of massacres brought on by the Royal Guards.  Feeling guilty, she starts to cross dress as a man to lead a rebel group to fight against the mistreatment of the working class by the throne.
Because of how she was brought into Purgatory, her soul and body were not separated properly.  Therefore, she experiences side effects.  Besides the noose-like scar around her neck, she also ages rapidly, which messes with her body, and she has difficulty understanding and absorbing the culture of her surrounding.  She almost dies once due to the aging, but Ro brought her back to life.  Before and since then, she also has heart issues, as it tends to stop functioning often.
Relationships:  Ro (parent figure/love interest), Tugoi (mother figure), Vis ('parent figure')

OTHER REFS:

Spoiler:

Gender:  Male
Age:  Unknown, but he looks like he is in his mid 20s
Race:  Angel (the Angel of the Dark Country)
Fashion Sense:  To see the clothes he wears, click his name *points up*; there is a picture link to it.  He generally wears the same clothes at all times.  It's kinda requires for an angel aside from ceremonial clothes.  He has a very short ponytail in the back that'd reach just below the top of his shoulders if let down.  He has reading glasses that he tends to wear often.  There are also a few markings to note on his body:  First is a scar on his cheek; he got that from a fight with the Reaper of Souls.  Second is a cross mark on the back of his neck, which signifies his status as an angel.  Likewise is a crystal embedded in his chest of a flower; due to the disbelief in the Dark Country, though, it's now just a marking instead of a gem.
Another interesting note on his body.  Because he is an angel, his body has special powers.  The most interesting is that the perception people have of him will change and vary.  Most common includes their personal perception of what angels look like or of someone they care about this most.  The current design Ro is based on Mavie's perception of him, which is based on an other-worldly version of her surrogate father/teacher in her past life.  He likes this version of himself, though; he does note that he's been told he looks a lot like his father.  In real life, he is actual rather hideous monstrosity, but this form is rarely ever seen.  And he wants to keep it that way.  Other additions includes his wings, his blood is black, he cries red blood that crystalizes into crystals, and 'shallow tears' and sweat are holy water.  He also has the power to control light and fire (the later he inherited from his uncle).  However, this only occurs when he is feeling an intense emotion; then, he would start breathing fire/smoke and the lights around him would start to flicker/adjust wildly.
Personality:  A very nervous angel, Ro tends to come off as younger than he really is because of this.  While he does have charisma, drive, and a sharp mind, his default personality is one of a kind shut in with limited social interaction.  Since he has a high royal/religious status, he's lacking in the vices section.  While his moral keeps him from sliding down the deep end, if something happens, it'd be hard for him to control himself.  This includes romances and sex, especially when it comes to Mavie, the only girl that treats him like a equal (or the closest thing to it).  He is very good with children and is very knowledgable about the worlds.  
Background:  Ro is one of two angels still alive in Purgatory.  He was the first child of the Angels of the Light Country and Dark Country.  After his father died from a rebellion in his country, he gained his duty (painfully) as the representation of the Dark Country.  The angel found himself on the shore of the Dark Country after an earthquake and the death of his mother.  He spent most of his teen years wondering the shore until he was found by soldiers, who brought him to the main city; he was properly inducted as the Angel of the country and became the King's advisor.
He spends most of his time not only helping the King, but attempt to make life better for the people of the City.  To do this, he helps them with education, health conditions, food, and run a bar.  The last contribution was the only thing the residents appreciated at all; they got to drink themselves into oblivion.  However, this did not encourage them in believing in Angels; this (belief in angels) is the one thing that keeps the Angels in Purgatory alive.  If its citizens don't believe in Angels, the Angel will die.  So, Ro is strangling the line between dead and alive, as there are still a few that believe in his existence.
Because of his status as a member of the Royal court, though, the citizens tend to distance themselves from him despite his desire to mingle and make friends.  As a result, he is left behind in almost everything and ignored.  Worse yet, the Reaper of Souls (an old friend of his father) is trying to kill him and sell his body as instruments.
Relations:  Mavie (love interest), Tugoi (friend), Vis (friend)

OTHER REFS:

Spoiler:

Gender:  Male
Age:  Unknown, but he is the oldest of the three men
Race:  Demon
Fashion Sense:  The demon is a cross dresser.  While he dresses a lot like Mavie does during formal occasions, he usually wears lighter dresses related to Roma/Gypsy/Druid culture.  While, he is normally a modest cross dresser, he does not shy away from provocative clothes.  Still, remember that the era is the late 19th century.
Physically, Tugoi has elements of a sea serpent/horse.  He has fin ears, scales all over his body, and a long tail.  On his forehead, Tugoi has a third eye; normally, it is closed, but if it's open, the eye is red and looks like a demon eye (much like Crane's eye would've been).  Also, he has a scar on his hand between his thumb and index finger from a sword he blocked.
Once again, to get a better look at his design, click his name *points up*.  There is a profile pic there.
Personality:  Tugoi is a fairly open and friendly demon.  Of the group, he is the most social; he has a lot of social ties throughout the city.  His strongest ties are to the Royal Guards.  He enjoys interacting with others, but he is aware of the stigma he has in the society:  He is a cross dressing demon from the forrest that no one wants to go into and can use magic in an country that sees magic as a bad omen.  Most of the time, though, he ignores it.  Also, he has strong morals and has a habit of using rituals; it's related to how he was raised.  If either of these are taken lightly or ignored, then he will get mad.  However, he rarely gets violent when mad.  
When it comes to Vis, their relationship strangles a strange line.  While he treats him like a kid like he does Mavie and Ro (even more so since he knew Vis as a kid), he also treats him as an equal because of their history together.  Tugoi feels guilty for pushing Vis into adulthood as quickly as possible, which is why he always babies his peers.  Still, Vis is very important to him and his development, mentally and romantically.
Background:  He was the son of a high ranking couple of a tribe of Cernunnos demons (although Tugoi calls himself a Mona, which is the City title for the demons).  Cernunnos demons are demons who have elements of animals, like ears, tails, and fur/scales.  They are strong magic users, but lack the ability to use physical weapons.  To cast magic, the demons use physical movement and dance instead of words.
Tugoi's mother was the lead magic user of the tribe and taught the young demons magic.  After a beloved cousin died, Tugoi took on her role as a magic user and her gender by growing out his hair and wearing feminine clothes.  In his teen years, he left the tribe as it was being consumed by a terrible disease.  Upon arriving in the City, he was mugged and his torc was burned off his neck.  Through this, though, he gained a strong alliance with the Royal Guards, who saved him that day and mistook him for a girl.  
He found Vis and his older brother and took them in shortly after they lost their home.  The older brother (Crane) and he started a relationship over time before Tugoi was forced to kill him during an episode of insanity; the shame he felt in doing so is still present and is burdened by a third eye, which once belonged to Crane before he died.  Now, he acts as a mother figure to Vis, Ro, and Mavie.
Relationship:  Mavie (surrogate child),  Ro (surrogate child),  Vis (friend, possible love interest)

OTHER REFS:

Spoiler:

Gender:  Male
Age:  Unknown, but he is the second oldest of the men
Race:  Demon
Fashion Sense:  He normally wears the same clothes all the time.  To see it in more detail, click his name.  Just one note: the trims of his coat are gold; I just forgot to color it before I scanned it.  Really, of all the characters, he is probably the easiest/straightforward.  ^_^;  It's worth noting, though, that most of the clothes he wears was once his brother's; the only thing that was originally his is an undershirt, a torc, and a sun medallion.
Personality:  On the surface at least, he is a stoic if sarcastic man.  He does not seem to care for anyone and, at worst, is a stoner who only cares about himself.  Honestly, though, he really does care about everyone around him (more than anyone else actually).  However, because of all the things that has happened to him, he is a tad confused and jaded.  To cope, he closes himself off from others.  Still, his kindness does sneak through, usually to younger children and Tugoi.  He takes a shine to Mavie when she first came to Purgatory because she reminded him of himself at her age.
Like his brother, his has episodes of rage and insanity.  The insanity is spurred by fragmented visions of the future; however, he does not remember what he saw nor does he understand them (since they are distorted and short).  They are very strong episodes.  The rage, of course, come from traumatic experiences; the result is a berserker mode that leads to killing sprees and can only be stopped by the third eye Tugoi now possesses.  Another means of dulling the episodes and his visions is opium, which is smokes regularly.
Background:  Vis is a Cruithne demon (or a Picti as the City calls them); Cruithne demons are humanoid demons that lack the ability to use magic of any sort, even healing magic.  However, they are expert weapon users.  Their defining trait are markings engraved in their skin at birth.
Vis was the youngest of two demons (him and his older brother) who could see the future.  They were treated well by their home city and its kings.  One night, Vis has a prophetic dream about the fall of the city and his older brother, Crane.  However, their daily reading said otherwise, so he remained quiet about it.  The next day, however, a hoard of Barbarians charged into the city, pillaging and killing everything in sight.  Crane and Vis were the only survivors.
They found shelter with Tugoi, who took them in upon finding them in the forest.  Shortly after Tugoi and Crane form a romantic and sexual relationship, unaware that Vis was not only fully aware of the whole thing, but was experiencing very conflicting emotions about it.  Upon finding this out, Tugoi mistook the confusion with a crush, leading to Vis loosing his virginity and becoming even more confused.  Making the situation worse was his brother's survivor's guilt and bouts of insanity.  Crane was killed by Tugoi when he tried to kill Vis.  He spent a short period of time as a paid assassin, but his first episode of rage occurred after the death of an ally.  He found himself back in the care of Tugoi afterwards and he stayed there ever since.

OTHER REFS:

Spoiler:

Gender: Female
Age:  3,400 human years old (Human equivalent: 26)
Race: Noor
Fashion Sense: As princess/queen, she is covered head to toe in fabric of some sort.  It was the royal tradition.  However, when she is around or outside the palace acting as herself rather than the monarch of Noor, she tends to dress in more conservative modern clothes.  The style of clothes from Noor is an alien mix of Indian, African, Moroccan, and Spanish.  Female Noors usually has something to cover their heads and horns, although their ears and faces are often exposed.  Banu enjoys dresses and skirts, but often wears at least some form of pants or shorts in case she needs to engage in battle.
Personality:  At heart a firecracker of a thrill seeker, the Princess has been keeping a firm balance of her public persona and her true self; however, her friends insist that the public persona IS part of her.  To the public, she is a kind, loving Queen that values the happiness of her subjects while upholding the traditions.  She speaks formally and in a theatrical sense when she does speak up.  When action is needed, though, she is not afraid to step up and take authority.  In private, Banu is prone to teasing and pulling jokes for a good laugh; one can argue that she is one of the guys.  She wears her emotions on her sleeve and is prone to mood swings, an oddity for alien races, including Noors.  Regardless of the role, however, she seems to have an obsession with keeping peace and happiness in both her circles of subjects and friends.  
Background:  Banu the Caring was born the second oldest of the royal family of Noor, but by adulthood was the only remaining heir.  Living through a era of the dynasty filled with war and internal turmoil, she strived to keep peace amongst her increasingly fractured subjects ever since she was old enough to understand it:  During the rite of passage, her goal of bringing peace to Noor became an obsession due to terrifying visions of a civil war that will end with many she cares for most (including herself) burned alive.  She met her husband during a war they were fighting in as foot soldiers; content with how casual and compassionate he was, the two married and had a son by the time she returned from capture (where she met her human friends/champions).

And a new OC!
So, Nuita was from an RP that a friend and I were working on centering around Death Deities.  Unfortunately, it seems like the RP died before it even got started.  Shame...  But this design and his personality was too good to just let go of.  So, here we are.

Some info:
Nuita Hine was recently appointed the position as Hine-nui-te-pō, the guardian of the Maori culture's underworld.  He's 15 years old and is from the Island in New Zealand.  He was the only child of a widowed man and was isolated for most of his life.  One day, a little bird revealed he had a strong tie to their ancient ancestry and could take on the position of Guardian of the Underworld.  So, he ran off from home and searched the country for his post.  Eventually, he found the cave and found... nothing.  But soon he began to hear the voices of the dead and a thin tattoo began to burn into his chest: the gates to his realm was now engraved into his flesh.  He eventually was taken in by a community of Patupaiarehe, who raised him into a teenager and taught him to live off the land.

He is a fairly quiet man and gives off an air of mystery, aloofness, and even a violent streak, causing most people to stay as far from him as possible.  Around those he cares for though, he's a happy go lucky type that doesn't hide anything, prone to teasing and fun.  He has a obsession with seaside towns/cities and its dwellers, and loves seafood.  He also does his own tattoos (Fun fact:  The tattoos Maori wear are not only very important to them but very painful)

Normally, he is in his human form and only changes form when he is guiding lost spirits to the gates within him.  This is because... His god form is a woman; or rather a non-gendered being that seems more like a woman than a guy.  Also it's painful for him to open the gate in his chest.  His mortal enemy is the Whiro, an feral and rabid entity that embodies disease and the end of one's soul.

Yep, did a lot of study on Maori culture just for him.  You see why I want to keep him?
