Gardening Department Manager (works in a landscape supply store)

Likes;
Birds, nature, spring, riddles, knock-knock jokes, the color white, gardening, flowers

Dislikes;
Hunting, large cities, the color gray, zoos, winter, being scared

Personality;
softspoken • peaceful • kind • patient • knowledgeable • openminded • generous

Eames has a very soft personality to match his soft exterior! He tends to keep his voice low out of habit, and always seems very peaceful and calm. He is incredibly patient and understanding, and strives to see things from another's perspective whenever possible before he responds. He doesn't have much and never has, but Eames would give you his last scrap of food if you needed it. Eames works at a landscaping supply store in the gardening department, but in his spare time, he can always be found at the local park feeding the birds! There is nothing he adores more than birds, and he is an endless well of knowledge about them. He can identify any bird species and tell you any unique facts about them, as well as where they live in the world. He takes any opportunity he can to be out in nature enjoying the sights and all the little details of it.

Companion;
Eames has a pet Harlequin Duck that goes with him everywhere possible! His friend Tabitha, who works at a wildlife rescue, found the duck wandering out on her own and starving, with a badly broken wing, and the top half of her bill almost completely missing. Upon receiving medical attention, it became clear that the duck would never be able to fly again, and would not be able to return to the wild, since she wouldn't be able to feed herself without a full beak. Eames immediately fell in love with the duck and decided to take her in. Initially, he had to feed her by hand, but after some research, he was able to find someone to build the duck a prosthetic beak! She is now fully recovered, and has bonded very closely with Eames, seeming to know what he did for her and how much he helped her.

Eames named the duck "Dollar"... because she only has one bill! ♥
Dollar's prosthetic top bill was made with a 3D printer-- green to match her namesake! She also wears a bright green collar with a small dollar bill shaped pendant.

Character Development!

Questions;
1. What’s one thing that’s happened to you that has made you a stronger person?
When I adopted Dollar, I felt like I had really stepped up, despite my feelings that birds shouldn't be kept as pets. But Dollar needed me, and I was able to see past my own feelings to do something for an animal that couldn't survive on her own.

2. What’s one thing that’s happened to you in your life that made you feel weak?
There have been a lot of times that people have needed to rehome their birds and have asked me, knowing that I love birds so much, and I have turned every single one down. I feel awful, but Dollar is my only exception.

3. Where is your favorite place to escape to?
The park of course, where I can feed all my bird friends!

4. Who do you think has had the largest influence on the person you are today?
Honestly, my pet duck Dollar. She has made me more compassionate, even more patient, and taught me about perserverance and strength!

5. If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be?
I have always wished I could fly, so maybe I would give myself wings?

6. What decade do you feel you most belong in?
Oh, any really! I like different things about them all!

Dante is definitely my best friend, and I love that he has such a big heart!

A bird

9. Do you easily accept compliments? Or do you hate compliments?
I love compliments! And I love to give them!

10. What is your favorite physical attribute about yourself?
I love my hair! I don't really do much to style it, but it just naturally has some nice waves and usually looks good on its own.

11. What is your favorite non-physical attribute about yourself?
I like how patient I am. It's allowed me to gain the trust of many different animals and kalons who I might not have otherwise gotten to know! And what a shame that would be.

12. Do you believe in love at first sight?
Yes!

13. Do you believe in soul mates?
Yes!

14. How seriously do you take horoscopes?
Oh, I don't pay much attention to those. I don't even know mine!

15. Have you ever been in love? How many times?
Yes I have! Just the once though-- Dante is my first love!

16. What makes you fall in love with someone?
I'm not sure really-- with Dante, it happened over time, and I don't think it was any one particular thing.

17. What does vulnerability mean to you? What has the ability to make you vulnerable?
I think vulnerability means letting your guard down and allowing someone to see who you truly are!

18. What’s one thing you’d love to learn more about?
BIRDS there is always more to learn about birds!

19. What is something you’ve never done that you’ve always wanted to do?
I would love to go hang gliding! I think that's the closest I could get to actually flying.

20. Why haven’t you done it yet?
I don't know! I haven't ever had the opportunity I suppose.

21. If money didn’t matter, what would your dream job be?
I would just quit society and literally become a bird.

22. What was the last thing that made you cry?
A video of a baby owl! It was SO CUTE I ended up crying.

23. What was the last thing that made you laugh?
Dante showed me a photo of a parrot dancing to music!

24. What is your favorite memory?
The day Dollar first tried out her new prosthetic beak. She was confused at first, but once she realized what had happened, she was SO happy! I loved seeing her so excited.

25. What’s the last thing that REALLY embarrassed you?
I was at the park last week and a bird went poo right on my lap. I had to walk all the way back home like that!! How embarrassing!

Workshop One - Day Two Exercise

Kalon Name: Eames
Link to Kalon: viewtopic.php?f=53&t=3348567
Write about a time when your Kalon(s) lost something important or someone close to them:
As a child, Eames was just as in love with birds as he is now, and his parents bought him a little pet goldfinch for his birthday one year. At first he was ecstatic, but the longer he owned the bird and watched its behaviors, the sadder he became. He would watch the birds outside soar and play on the wind currents, but his little caged finch couldn't do such things. Once he had gained the bird's trust and it responded to him, he began to let the bird out of the cage to fly around the house. That made him feel better for a while, but not for long. For weeks, Eames and his bird would sit at the window and watch the wild finches that came to visit his bird feeders, and he began to feel guilty that he was forcing his own bird to live indoors and denying him the chance to really spread his wings.

One day, Eames found himself standing by the back door, with his beloved little bird perched contentedly on his finger as he often was. With a deep breath, Eames padded outside onto the patio, and took one last look at his finch, petting it gently along its back. He cupped the bird in his hands, and set the creature free with an encouraging toss. Tears stung his eyes as he watched the flurry of yellow feathers disappear into the trees, and he felt his throat start to close up. But then, his heart was filled with relief, and he exhaled the breath he realized he'd still been holding. With the release of that breath, Eames released all the guilt he'd been filled with, and a warm feeling took its place. He had lost his precious pet, but felt that he had done the right thing, and that gave him peace. To this very day, Eames has never kept a bird caged.




Workshop Two - Writing Prompt

Kalon Name: Eames
Link to Kalon: viewtopic.php?f=53&t=3348567
Prompt:
Eames had a happy childhood with parents who loved him-- pretty standard. His parents were very free-spirited and believed in self expression, and always encouraged him to do what made him happy. He very quickly discovered that birdwatching was what made him happy, and they took him to the park as often as they could to teach him about the different kinds of birds. Eventually, with the help of the library and his computer, he surpassed them in knowledge, and Eames became the one teaching his parents about the different kinds of birds.

Now that he is older, he lives a simple life-- he never went to college, and works at a landscape supply store as the manager of the gardening section. He makes enough money to support himself, and doesn't have much extra, but doesn't need it. He lives in Italy with his boyfriend, Dante, and his pet duck, Dollar, who he adopted from a rescue when he heard that she would not be able to return to the wild. It's not certain what the future holds for him, but he hopes to be a father someday!




Workshop Three - Day Three Exercise

Name of Kalon: Eames
Link to Kalon: viewtopic.php?f=53&t=3348567
What qualities does your kalon look for in a friend?
Someone who loves birds, mostly! But other than that, Eames tends to like those who enjoy nature. He is pretty friendly, and can get along well with lots of different people.
What qualities does your kalon dislike in a friend?
Eames tends to avoid people who litter, because to him that means they don't respect their environment. He also doesn't like anyone who seems to be naturally cruel or someone who only cares about themself.
Would they risk their life to save a friend? A stranger?
As patient and friendly as Eames is, he isn't inherently brave. He'd do whatever he could to save a friend, but a stranger I'm not so sure. He might not be able to muster up the courage.
Is it easy or hard to earn their trust? Why?
Eames trusts pretty easily! He doesn't have much of a reason not to, since not many things have happened to make him feel any other way. He also tends to give lots of chances since he doesn't lose his temper easily, and he likes to give everyone the benefit of the doubt.
