I decided to name
him Desmond, with
"Bottlecap" being
his primary name/
nickname. He goes
by Cappie, too.

Desmond is a boy, a
bubbly, friendly
little boy! (Though,
sorry, Tora, he
won't stay that way
forever!)

Bottlecap is a very excited boy. He always has something interesting and
super creative going on in that little bean brain of his. There's almost nothing
that won't catch his attention, and he'll try anything once! He's not much of
a talker, though, when you meet him at first. He'll be quiet around you for
a while, but once he decided you're okay, then he's a bubbling blue ball of
energy! He will befriend almost anyone, it just takes a while.

Why is Desmond not called by his birth name very often? Well, when he was just a new hatchling, his parents noticed something strange. When they would wake up in the morning, they would find that all the bottle caps had gone missing from the fridge, and the full soda bottles were left, open, in the fridge to go flat. They were puzzled for a while, but then one day, when their son just began to talk, he told Tora, "Come on, mommy! Toys!" And led her to the couch, where he had stashed all the stolen bottle caps! She tried to scold him, but just look at that little face! Their response was to move the bottles higher up in the fridge, so he couldn't reach them, then just give them to him when they were done with the soda. He eventually got a nice little hoard going, and when he moved them to his room, he really didn't know where to put them, what to do with them. He went and ventured the house, in that quiet way that he was when he thought, and found two tubes of superglue. Desmond proceeded to apply the glue to the bottlecaps, and cover half of his lampshade before he ran out of glue... and fingers that could move. A few days later, his family took a trip to visit his aunt Edie and uncle Jean, where he first learned of Jean's welding. He shyly asked if he could see, and watched with amazed eyes and gaping jaw as his uncle showed him the art, then, hesitantly, let Cappie give it a try. When the boy showed responsibility and wonderment at the magic that was happening before his deep gray eyes, he decided to get him his own little
welding kit. From then on, Desmond was hooked! Nowadays, it's a very rare sight to see him without his caps, so everyone just calls him Bottlecap, or Cappie. He welcomes the nicknames, it's just who he is.

Tora is very supportive of her son's
beloved hobby, often going out of
her way to help him find
just the
right bottlecap for any project
at hand. Because of this, he treats
her with the utmost respect and
shows his appreciation in any
way that he can, often including
making something out of his caps
that is absolutely stunning, like a
full bouquet of roses, or a pin.

Cappie loves his dad dearly,
though he understands that
he can be a bit of a grump
on occasion. Bottlecap got his
father to take him to a garage
sale once, and he ended up
buying him his first (and favorite)
bottle opener! Cappie loved it
because his headphone chords could
be wrapped around it, so he could
listen to his music while he worked!

How does Bottlecap think of his
uncle Jean? He's awesome! He
was the one who taught cappie
the ins and outs of welding,
and alongside his mother, gave
him most of his support for his
art! Bottlecap loves playing
with Jean's 'child', who he calls
"Ram-Bam" because it just sounds
fun! The card that Jean gave to
him was ____________________

Ignacio, Bottlecap's older brother,
is a bit... well, less than approving
of his baby bro's bottlecap hobbies.
Cappie thinks that it's because he
doesn't like when there's nothing
but flat soda in the fridge, but he
can't help himself! In return, he
is always making things for his
brother, like a rather large model
of Latios and a full-size,
wearable Master Chief helmet.

Nadira, Bottlecap's twin and only
sister, is very close to his heart.
He will do anything for her, even
though she sometimes tries to...
well, 'help' him out with his art
and usually messes everything up.
He does get a tad bit annoyed by
this, but bites his tongue and smiles
instead of letting an argument
begin. He loves to make things for
her, just like his mother.

Although Bottlecap's obsession often
worries his grandfather, Mozart is
always the one Cappie goes to when
he just wants to talk. Of course,
Mozart likes to make sure that he
is always careful with the welding
tools, which he is, and always
wears the mask that protects his
little face, which he does, but
when his safety spiel is over, they
often have nice, long conversations
that bring them closer together.
Cappie loves those conversations.

When Bottlecap's aunt Edie is around,
he is very careful how he acts. He
does not want to annoy her, or make
her not like him for any reason other
than the fact that he is a child.
Normally, he will bring his latest
project out because he loves seeing
her show interest. He has shown her
how he makes the art objects and she
seems to like it, which he absolutely
loves, though it tends to cause trouble
between him and the siblings who aren't
able to get Edie's interest as he does.

Cappie ad Yoichi didn't become as
quick friends as some may think.
Because of her more closed-off
personality, it took Cappie quite a
bit of observation before he went
up to her and finally befriended
the beautiful girl. He is always one
to make sure he won't be on
someone's bad side before he tries
to get on their good one. They
don't play with others, it's
just Cappie and Ichi.

**Disclaimer: All of the below art is by me, and since I am unable to create any digital art of him, it will all be traditional. Also, my camera does not photograph color very well at all, so that is why none of them are colored. I hope this is okay, and you can still enjoy!**◣
