History:
Radical can't remember their childhood. Actually, they can't remember much other than a plush dragon that they used to regularly play with. And a rather beaten up one at that.
All they remember, is what they create in their own mind for memories. Memories have always been constructs of the mind, and their's are much more so. Radical can come up with their past in a matter of seconds, as if generated from a series of computers. None of them are true, of course, but those that are considered his friends have noticed that all the generated histories have the dingy dragon toy in common. And none of those friends are quite sure how that matters, or why someone who can't remember a thing can remember something as insignificant as a toy from their childhood.
And, if you're wondering, Radical chose their name for theirself. When one doesn't know their past, one certainly cannot know their name, background, or even who they ever aspired to be. Friends of Radical's often joke that they should have named theirself 'Clean Slate' since it appears their memories were blotched on purpose.Kurt Cobain wrote:I'd rather be dead than cool.
Personality:
The inside;
Radical is a radical Kia, that much is simple. There are multiple layers to their personality, and the very first is the hardest to understand. On the inside, Radical is a serene and easy going Kia. Alone, and when at peace, they can be distant and reserved, almost serene. It seems that they like to take a a back seat to emotions when allowed to rest and be alone, and simply allow themselves to exist.
And the outside;
However, when around others, Radical is a very good name. They switch between defensive and offensive emotions when enraged or annoyed with other Kias, and no one is spared from their outbursts. Radical can just as easily switch these attacks off, allowing theirself to mop about, give the evil eye to any passerby, and just gloom about life in general. They aren't an easy Kia to get along with in public, as they completely transform and put up a torrential stream of emotions and facades to prevent strangers from getting too close, too close to the sea of tranquility inside.
And the Flaws;
Radical is a highly unpredictable being. Their mood swings don't appear to have any direct triggers that trigger them, and they can't seem to control the mood swings either. Radical is also extremely clingy to those they get to know, actually resorting to 'cataloging' other kias, events, sayings, quotes from the day, or anything that can help them remember what had happened during the day in case they ended up forgetting again. Due to this, Radical can be considered highly over-protective and almost demanding of information, and their methods for gaining information {pestering, calling-out, hating on} can be brutal and blunt and offending to almost anyone they meet.
And the Strengths;
Being someone who collects information on others, Radical has a lot of dirt to use whenever they're in trouble with someone else. They're also not afraid of any consequences, half way convinced that they can short circuit their memory again and forget everything, leaving them untouchable. This makes Radical an extremely aggressive contender to face off against in any argument or confrontation, and their appearance certainly helps with intimidation methods such as lowering their voice, snarling, or acting just plain rude. And on the flip side, Radical is extremely good at letting off unneeded steam {some steam is needed when seeking out revenge!} by sitting back and relaxing while alone, which is when their 'inner' face of their personality appears much more dominant.
What about Quirks?;
Radical is a Kia with thier own, special quirks. Whether physical or mental, or even behavioral, they will be here.
Physical;
First off, Radical has a case of synthesia . Their synthesia is sound to color- here's a bit of information here, meaning that when hearing a sound, they will also see a color that corresponds to it. For example, they perceive a G chord on the bass as 'a wobbly yellow and blue string that intertwines with a thicker purple chord'. This is one of the reasons why they would much rather write songs than play, for they fear that theirs condition would inhibit their ability to properly play the notes and the sounds. Although, they do admit that this synthesia allows for them to pick better notes and chords for the song while it's in production. Radical has a habit of biting the pencil they're using while writing, especially if stuck on a certain rhyming scheme. During this, Radical may also mutter aloud, pace, and try to find the most comfortable, secluded, and far away place that they can to focus.
Secondly, is the odd cuts and plasma like blood that they possess. No one, including theirself, is sure of how this all plays together, but Radical is convinced it has something to do with their past and why they've forgotten it. These cuts, which randomly appear time to time and on different parts of their body, leak an odd plasma. Radical is often forgetful of their condition, and will never clean up any of this plasma goo left about. They'll actually track it throughout wherever they are, making them easy to track and find. Some may confront Radical about this, and when they answer, it's often as blunt as, "It's modern art. No need to clean it up."
Finally, Radical always cries that same goo. Even they don't know quite why, but they do know that is rather distracting and a pain to have to carry around a roll of paper towels to clean that up as they go about their day. Despite the crying appearance, they can be in a perfectly happy state and still shed these bloody teal tears. Which requires about one roll of paper towels every three to four days. What a messy life.
Mental;
Other than the already mentioned synthesia, Radical has one more hidden facet to theirself that they prefer to keep to themselves. This is Radical's own 'Memory World'. If you were thinking that Radical wrote everything down that they memorized throughout the day, you would be terribly wrong. Instead, Radical has developed their own 'inner world' where they store all this information in various forms. Ways of storing this information within their head varies from a clock within the world showing a certain time or date along with an accompanying sketch, or even a complete forest where figures from days upon days are 'stored' in exact mental replicas. Radical can access this mental library, if you would, by mediating in a quiet and undisturbed place. During these mediation periods, which they must do at least once a day, cuts appear on Radical's body which leak the teal blood, and it will be more cuts than were present earlier in the day. They often emerge from mediation coated in the plasma, and have to quickly take a shower to clean theirself off.
Behavioral;
Radical possesses one major behavioral quirk, and that is that they will often resort to the meditative state if directly asked about dreams, kias they've met during the day, the world they've invented theirself, or if asked about the color teal. The first three are quite easily explainable, as all of them relate back to the meditative state on a whole, but the teal trigger is yet another mystery of Radical's that they cannot answer.
The Truth wrote:Elvis Presley wrote:Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away.
Due to the way this character works, I felt it nessacary to spoil a bit of the mystery behind the character.
History:
Radical was born to an affluent family of Kiamaras, which held power over the area that they called home. The family line was rumored to be descended from a Kia that was not of this dimension, which gave the family an odd inheritable and completely safe mutation of the blood and of the eyes. These genes appeared to be dominant to any other normal Kiamara genes regarding the blood and eyes, and was an immediately recognizable trait of this family of Kias. Knowing this, the family was always respected and treated well by locals within the superstitious area of the New World, and since the founding days of the colonies. However, the family soon began taking over local business in the area, which was rural and remote, depending completely on the competing businesses and the jobs produced by that competition, and when one family controlled it all, a deep resentment grew towards the family. It didn't take long for this fear and hate to turn into malicious rumors, which carried from generation to generation, turning the townsfolk into fearful Kias, who waited for a proper time to 'overthrow' the local 'royalty'.
This opportunity came when the youngest son of the family turned eighteen, and a large celebration was held on the family's ground and was open to the public, as always. The public took advantage of this, and quickly torched the estate, and drove the family well off of the grounds. It is certain that many of the family lost their lives in the struggle, and due to the remote conditions, the murders were never reported or acknowledged.
However, the eighteen year old son managed to escape only with major head trauma, and awoke in the barren ashes of his family's Estate. Not remembering who he was, or where he came from, Radical began to develop himself, and this started as soon as he began shuffling around in the debris around him. All he found was a beaten up toy dragon, one that had been his from his childhood. This was the only thing he remembered, and he totted it away with him on his wandering after the attack on his family.
During this wandering, Radical lost all touch with reality, and often reverted in a mental world to suffer through cold days and long waits between food. This is how Radical came to develop and perfect the mental memory world they now posses.
Near the end of Radical's journey, he also lost touch with himself, and began referring to himself as 'they' and not 'him'. Not quite sure of why this occurred to him, Radical began making others refer to him as 'they' as well, and slowly Radical shifted over, losing theirself completely.
Once they finally managed to get a grip on their life and some money, Radical began using their synthesia to compose music, which soon earned them a name world wide as an electronic music composer. Their music brought in even more money, and this may have contributed to their 'outside' face, which appears brutal, removed of all emotions but anger and annoyance, and direct and harsh as the summer sun. Like everything, however, the music they were composing soon fell out of the spot light, and Radical soon had to use this newly found aspect of theirself for another job. It wasn't long before they were hired by a local PD to interrogate and process all criminals, especially after the PD interviewed Radical, and it ended up with the cop cowering in a corner from a ticked off Radical who was busily gaining information on the inner workings of the police department.

Dislikes;

Dreams;
Radical only aspires to one major thing, and that is remember their past. No matter the consequences behind it.
Fears;
They have an undeniable fear of the future, of losing their memory, and forgetting where things are. In fact, Radical will often pace for hours if they misplace something, and will plan ahead.
Major Phobia;
Their major phobia, the one that brings them to shivering and a near break down, is anything that they cannot define or explain or something that they do not know. Common examples of this are Kias in costumes, new technology, and new discoveries in the scientific field. However, Radical is not against learning new technologies or moving with the times, it is only when they can't understand something or explain it that this phobia kicks in. Which may also explain why asking them about the color teal may cause them to go into a meditative shock- they simply do not understand their condition. It is unclear why asking directly does not invoke the same reaction.
Skills;
They have several skills. The first is in interrogation, which is clear due to the job that they now possess. The second is not giving an apparent care about anything that could harm theirself or others, giving Radical the skill of personally being removed from a situation. Of course, the second they need to remember something, that's the second they start caring.
Favorite Season;
Radical's favorite season isn't a true season. It's simply the time from when the leaves completely fall off to the first snow fall. This period is better known as October.
Favorite Food;
Radical loves to eat glow sticks. Glow sticks have no health affects on them, and only make their teal blood and eyes glow more.
Favorite Time of Day;
Dawn. Right before the hectics of life start, and before the night-life begins. It's peaceful before anything starts up, before anyone else is awake.
Favorite Activity;
Mediating, or directing something. Or interrogating. It's a close call.
Favorite Way of Confronting Others;
The best way in Radical's mind is by approaching them directly, with a stern face, and almost snarling at them. Follow up with a punch to the jaw if needed.
Favorite word to 'hear';
Radical loves to hear others say the word 'lethologica'. Mainly because to them it appears as a streak of bright yellow, with apparently frustrated red and black streaks that glow.
Least Favorite word to 'hear';
They hate hearing the word 'ashes', as they see it as a dripping and feathery word streaked with white, grey, black and tan. Not to mention the odd feeling that accompanies it.
Favorite Animal;
Radical loves ravens. In fact, they will often be seen with a few around their house, and it assumed that these ravens are pets of theirs, and are fed and taken care of by Radical theirself.
Hobbies;
Well, they write... A lot. Mostly poems and the such, but songs, stories, and ramblings appear from time to time. Radical also can be seen practicing their interrogation methods on the mirror from time to time.
A poem;Written by Radical wrote:Whatever happened to you?
One minute there, next gone.
Everything you used to do,
Always carried it's own song.
Now the clouds set in.
Your skies are falling gray.
Everything thinks it's too dim.
But as you always used to say,
"Don't give in quite now,
Things will start coming up soon.
Not everything is so down,
This shower isn't a monsoon."
You can't help but smile,
As we break into dance for you,
Dark regrets walk the mile,
The weights lift as they do.
Passing showers give way to sun,
The smiles breaks on your face.
Your life no longer a pun.
And now you always say,
"Don't give in quite now,
Things will start coming up soon.
Not everything is so down,
This shower isn't a monsoon."
And a song;Written by Radical wrote:Relief at the first word,
Brutal memories at the last.
Torn hearts parted by a sword.
Who knew it could happen so fast?
Backs turned to each other,
Forgetting who we used to be.
Always been too smothered.
We forgot how to breathe.
Two for one,
All against me,
Them for none,
You're what I cannot be.
Battles lost as the day rises.
Regrets of the last one standing.
Fire that burns away our vices,
With everyone's misunderstanding.
As the tide ebbs, we're left to wonder,
Why we didn't just give-in.
Our lives deafened by the thunder,
The situation tight, and too grim.
They're a Lover of Music wrote:
Opinion on Rock Music;"Rock music is a way to rebel against social normals. Why wouldn't I like it? Despite the fact that it can carry some pretty inappropriate context sometimes, it speaks to me in a way that many other music genres don't. It has a quality to it that connects. I know that sounds odd... But I wasn't asking, now was I?
Opinion on Country Music;"Please don't play that anywhere near me. Please don't. And I'm asking nicely. "
Opinion on Folk Music;"How can you like Folk, but not country? Country's all about love, revenge, and moving on... Two of those things I don't do, while revenge suits me. Folk inspired music carries heavier meaning with it, like moving away, recovering yourself after a major loss, growing up, reconnecting with others. Is that enough for you?"
Opinion on Pop Music;"Some pop is good music, but most is not. I won't listen to Justin Beiber anytime soon, that's for sure. Most of it is just about love and lust. It's like rock, but too high and happy..."
Opinion on Jazz Music;"Go find what I said about country, and then stop asking me all these questions..."
Opinion on Instrumental Music;"Another question? Well, music without words can be just as meaningful as songs, so it's okay. Although, most the of instrumental music I'll listen to is dupstep, or animated."
Favorite Artist;"How can someone possibly have a favorite? They're all amazing. If I listen to them, then I like them. Enough said."Anything else you have to say? wrote:Now it's my turn to ask you a few questions.
Anthro Descprition wrote:Health:Radical is rather healthy for such an isolated Kiamara, and rarely gets ill.
Energy:They have energy mainly when ticked off, and other times the energy is on the low.
Memory;Currently their memory is phenomenal, due to their mental landscape for memorization. However, they can't get by whatever is blocking their memories from the past.
Senses;Radical's hearing, smell, and sense of taste are extraordinary, and their touch is average, and their eyesight is considered poor.
Allergies;Radical is allergic to chocolate, dust, and regular blood.
Style;In anthro, Radical wears dark clothing, and dresses up all the time. They're mostly trying to outdo everyone else, and they always seem quite decent. The clothing they wear is always on the darker side with neon highlights, and is always perfectly fitted.
Way They Dress;Radical wears their clothing in a proper way. All of their clothing is neat and steamed, and worn to the best possible notch it could be. They even make sweatpants look classy.
Grooming;They allow their hair to be the only messy part of them, and doesn't even bother fixing it up with any type of gel. They do shin their horns regularly, however.
Posture;They always can be seen walking straight up, almost strutting, but strutting with dominance and confidence. They have a habit of projecting their shoulders too much, and may end up looking a bit funny due to this.
Gait;Radical walks on the on the heel of their foot, giving them very loud steps and a lurching gait almost.
Coordination; Radical is one of the most balanced and physically fit Kiamaras. They're well known for their master of ninjutsu and for their balancing skills. Both of which come in handy when interrogating.
Fidgeting Methods; Whether they're aware of it or not, Radical fidgets when under pressure and does so by picking away at their finger nails and by pulling strands of hair from their mane.
The Memory World wrote:More background on this mental world of theirs.
Radical is descended from a Kiamara that was in fact from another dimension. It's not know to history the name of this Kiamara, however the name of its species endures. The name of the species was D'Ni. This species could in fact describe worlds, and create them by writing them down in books called Linking Books. Radical posses te ability of picturing these worlds, but since the writing for creating Linking Books was lost with the last living D'Ni Kia, Radical can only picture and warp and manipulate his own world.
Key Places: Key places within the world that they have created are far and few between. The main area was created by Radical and is the first place they appear in when mediating to access memories. This area is a green and forested valley surrounded by two opposite mountain ranges. Radical simply calls this place 'Green Valley'. The next key place is where Radical stores precious moments, and is a crystal cavern located just south of the Green Valley. Located within an extinct volcano, this cavern was discovered by Radical when they were mucking about on the face of the dead volcano. Lastly is an eerie body of black water pierced by tall monoliths of stone. Known as the 'Weeping Fangs', Radical only keeps dark moments here.
Species on the planet: Radical invented several species to inhabit their world, and the major species to be aware of are the dragons. These dragons are always dark bodied and bright winged, and can be found in any of the key areas. Radical does not know if these dragons exist elsewhere on the planet.
Averages of the Planet: The planet's average terrain is high and desolate mountains with deep green valleys filled with somber spirits. To the north and south are frozen poles, and a good half of the planet is one large sea, and the other half the mountains and valleys. Freshwater isn't easy to come by from what Radical describes lacks streams and rivers to a large extent. The average temperature is around 85 degrees F during the day, and 40 F at night.

The concept of D'Ni and the Linking books belongs to the creators of the Myst video game series, which inspired this character loosely.

Yeah, deal with it
You tried to break me
You wanna break me

That's just part of it.

And all the things you left behind,

Always try to stay in line
But your eyes see right through

I've got no room when it's like this
What you want of me, just deal with it
So...
If you were dead or still alive,
I don't care,

Nothing can care about,
I'm taking care of it.
You won't be there for me,
You won't be there for me.
