Name; Titanium
Name Meaning;"Titanium is a chemical element with symbol Ti and atomic number 22. It is a lustrous transition metal with a silver color, low density, and high strength. Titanium is resistant to corrosion in sea water, aqua regia, and chlorine."
Gender; Male
Personality; Cowardly, distant, closed-off, cautious, realistic, pyroCowardly, a term used for someone who backs down easily, or may be considered quite the easily spooked individual, not willing to take chances. Titanium, despite his name, tends to always back down, never taking up a challenge when it is presented to him. Fight or flight will most of the time result in flight, unless there is no other option left but to fight. If fighting is the only option, he is known to take cheap shots, aiming for the eyes to blind them and allow for quick fleeing on his part.
Distance come with his loner-like persona. He takes to the darker waters, often seen lurking in the shadows and watching from afar, call him a bystander is you will. He often sees things happen, but will not step forward, unless it is a life-threatening situation his siblings may have gotten themselves into. He is more likely to walk away then listen to what you want to say.
Closed-off, as he doesn't speak much unless spoken to, or is seriously wondering about something. Titanium doesn't enjoy looking up to people, literally and figuratively, due to his height and 'aura' he gives off, which is often quite unwelcoming. Looking up at others gives him a degrading feeling, lowest of the low. He rather be at the same platform as the others, standing proud as the do, but then again, standing tall and speaking your mind often drags in unwanted attention to yourself.
Take
caution to the wind is a term he has always taken quite literally. He will not eat something unless he knows exactly what it is made of, and if he doesn't know even one of the ingredients, he will not touch nor consume it. This often lead to him being a bit too terribly skinny, and health problems often ensue. The only time this does not really apply is when he is swimming, as he enjoys the dark and murky waters to swim in, as it hides his figure quite well from those who may prove to be harmful.If he doesn't see something with his own eyes, he will not believe it.
Titanium is quite the
realist, not falling quite into a pessimistic or optimistic view of things, and prefers to use facts over assumptions. The small male will often be seen with a book or searching things up for statistics in order to confirm his educated guesses. Without reason, he doesn't see why it should be assumed that something bad will happen, or a miracle will happen. Miracle workers are a false hope in his eyes, as magic or miracles is not a confirmed.
Despite his caution and his love of water, he can often get distracted by the pretty colors a fire can sprout in. Its fascinating how a non-living thing can consume oxygen to make colors pop, but also cause such destruction. He will often play it it, with caution of course.
Playlist; Titanium Childhood; Even with wings, one may not learn how to fly. Titanium was always quite distant, and never found any use for his wings besides being used for an intimidation factor to make himself look larger. This was his way of scaring others away form him, as to avoid any contact with anyone besides those he was born with and to.
Learning to swim wasn't a big problem for Titanium,as it came nearly naturally, with a few close calls in the beginning. He often went to try and wade on his own, or paddle on his own, almost drowning on a few occasions. He found his tail to be almost like a dead-weight, the fur soaking up the water, and dragging him down. The green tinted kal slowly grew use to this weight and used it more of a help then allowing it to be a burden. He would twirl it under him to spook anything swimming near him.
As a young, he tended to stay in the water when he could, until he saw someone messing with fire, and that caught his attention. This is when he began to copy those he saw, and quickly developed an interest in fire and the unpredictable nature of it. The consumption of oxygen, despite the lack of life was fascinating to the young kal.
As he grew old, he began to mess with fire more and more, but keeping a sense of caution when he did to avoid injury. He would try throwing in different materials he found around the area to see what color it may turn.
When he wasn't messing with fire, he was in the water as that was the safest place in his eyes to be. It allowed for him to quickly maneuver around and giving him almost a home field advantage over others.
He often began to swipe fruits and other vegetables from other people's gardens whenever he could sneak away. Survival of the fittest, if one cannot guard their food, then it will be swiped underneath their noses.
The kid was very good at avoiding fights and conflicts, due to his reclusive actions and naturally avoiding things that will end badly, so he really only got hurt on his own accord, which may include tripping over his own wings or a rock, due to being so used to swimming.
Desires for the Future; job, livelihood, spending, choice of decor/home
For a
job, Titanium wishes to become a pyrotechnician, working with any fire-related special effects in the entertainment industry. Without a birth certificate though, this will be a difficult goal for him, as it would make the process of getting a license for it quite tedious. Even so, he strives for this goal, as he randomly stumbled upon it while reading on his own. Since then, he has been en-captured by this job and will do what it takes to get there, even if it means abandoning the water.
His
livelihood would be would consist of the occupation he has taken upon himself out side of studying, thieving.It keeps him alive, just barely, but a live, seeing as he sells what he can. This is how he earns the money for the books he needs to study and maybe earn an apprenticeship.
He will always tend to
spend his money on books, to try and further his lack of education, and fit more into the rules of society, maybe meet a few people in the process, despite that goal reaching a lil' too far for him.
Planning even farther about his future home, it would rest along the sea-side, and the inside would be fairly plain, just in case of a fire accident, a bed and cooking supplies would be quite enough for him to survive, so it wouldn't even be very big either. Unlike his eating habits, he isn't very picky with decor, as long as it is comfortable, its good.
Family Relationships; Hiro: confused, relate-ableHiro
confuses Titanium, and leaves him almost in a state of awe at his aggressive nature towards outsiders. He honestly doesn't know how exactly to feel about the side, as it baffles him how sometime Hiro will leave one of them floating on the water.
Physique-wise, Titanium resembles him due to his eating habits, or lack thereof and being so picky with foods. Out of the two parents, he would prefer to stay around Hiro, but even that is a bit off-throwing for him,due to Hiro's eating habits, and what he eats.
Ico: mixed, similar viewTitanium has
mixed feelings about Ico, yes, they do
share a few similar actions and traits, such as being distant and maybe a bit cold towards others. He understands his resentment towards all the kids he has had, as titanium isn't too good with people, let alone other kids, himself. He has never really seen the slightly caring side of Ico, as he avoids injury or problematic situations. Other then the few times Ico has to watch over them, he prefers to avoid Ico, as he doesn't like the vibes Ico gives off. So in general, it would depend on the situation in which Titanium may stick around Ico. In a time of danger, Titanium would definitely stick around him, more as a strength in number sort of instinct.
Erebos: Repulsed, fascinated, concernedQuite
repulsed by Erebos's eating habits, he doesn't tend to stay around too long when his elder brother gets the munchies, eating many things, including the occasional electrical outlet or even going as far to chew on Titanium's leek-looking horns.
Even so, he puts up with his brother's antics,
fascinated by Erebos's eating habits, and how he hasn't died yet from his diet.
He is often quite
concerned for his brother's health more then half the time. Titanium would buy leek's for Erebos, that do not look like his horns, to help avoid damage to his horns. He personally could not bring himself to dislike his elder brother's odd behavior, maybe because he doesn't know any better not to eat these random things. He finds Erebos quite amusing, but child-proofing the area to make sure he doesn't kill himself can be quite the drag.
Cygnet: mixed-emotions, relate-able, helpful, greatfulTitanium is quite greatful for Cygnet's food retrieval runs, leaving him to do less work. He doesn't understand how Cygnet can be so open and friendly towards people, and become the mom-like friend to many people, which he finds a little bizarre. He will often go to her if he needs to rant or needs advice, and just like her, he can be some-what protective over his siblings, which he admires. He wont typically eat what she cooks, as he has no idea what is in it, bit he does quite enjoy the smell more then half the time, and comment on that over eating it. Praise is praise.
