WIP Form here:

Name: Antares

*Nickname(s): (Drawing a blank here; there aren’t many decent nicknames for a name like “Antares” so yeah.) (Please don’t call him Ant)

*Age: 16-ish

Gender: Male

Pronouns: He/him

Sexuality: Straight

Species: Novaspawn

*Deity They Work For: Nova, in a way? None otherwise, for now, at least.

Appearance: If it’s possible for a Novaspawn to look unhealthy, then he is. He looks sleep-deprived, and he probably is, and he doesn’t care. He looks pretty intense in general, and some colors are masked behind colors, though not usually visible to those without an eye for color. He has flaming red hair and eyes, with a slight tinge of bright, eye-scorching hot pink that most (thankfully) can’t see. His hair is long, down to his hip, and it’s messy and totally uncooperative, even when he ties it. Actually, it’s messier when he ties it, somehow, so he lets it be.

Otherwise, he has pretty typical of an appearance: Night-black skin with stars, though the stars have a bit of a red tint, and his skin seems a bit more dark purple than entirely black. He usually has smoke leaking from his eyes, and he used to freak out that it would mean he couldn’t see (unless this is true, of course). He’s very slim and pretty tall, though arguably shorter than most his age, and he looks pretty androgynous overall, and not just in body shape.

Personality: Antares is haughty, though not in the way one might expect from a Novaspawn. He’s more so towards his own species, though he doesn’t really show it. If genetics and education program a Novaspawn, then his programming went wrong, though he’s at least smart and doesn’t show it. For one, he thinks Novaspawn is a weird name; not that it sounds bad, but to him, it’s just weird. Inside, he’s pretty rebellious, and he doesn’t really regard the culture in the highest light. Mind you, he doesn’t regard it in a lower light, either; he just thinks differently than the “custom” kind of thinking. When he was younger, he didn’t really believe in deities at all, and was more outspoken about it at the time. As he grew older, he came to know about their existences, and so then his rebellious persona towards their monotheistic religion just became that he thought of all gods/goddesses/deities as upon the same caliber as Nova, though perhaps in less importance that they held in the Novaspawn culture, but certainly not in less importance in general.

To be honest, it’s more as if he chooses to believe what he wants to believe, rather than what others have made it to be, and he does want to change the world someday. But, he hasn’t really acted on it, because he knows he has to change those closer to him first, and he’s not going to risk getting kicked out. Hence, he doesn’t speak about his opinions, not to mention being outspoken about them, and he’s pretty quiet in general, though he’s talkative with those close to him. Actually, he might hint some of his thoughts and feelings to his close friends, but he has a fear of it being “taken the wrong way”. Really, he became a priest because of his family’s and friends’ expectations, not because of the worldly pressure for red-haired Novaspawn to have aspirations towards that kind of vocation. Of course, with all importance they hold to him, he still refuses to have his opinion changed by them, suggesting a really strong sort of stubbornness.

With non-Novaspawn he’s usually more “normal”, and he doesn’t really think of mortals/non-Novaspawn as less than himself. He’s really fond of the equal-in-rights virtue, which he hopes he can hold. But, overall, he’s pretty complacent.

Random facts, but he likes little kids (mortal, Novaspawn, or otherwise), and he usually likes to think he can get along more with kids than adults. He acts mostly like a mortal teenager, though, and he isn’t very self-proficient, which might be why he likes kids—he’s like one himself. For some reason, he also doesn’t like sleeping, probably because he thinks it wastes valuable time that he can use for other things. So, he usually sleeps three hours a week, and that doesn’t count how many times he gets up in between to do something else.

The rest of his personality is pretty hard to gauge, since he does like keeping to himself and pretending he’s a way he isn’t. So, to be developed, I suppose.

*Theme Song(s): TBD

Weapons: (Do they use this commonly? I know Delphi uses a spear, but she’s not a Novaspawn, right? I do have ideas, but just making sure first.)

Powers: He’s pretty good at magic, runeweaving and otherwise (the priest kind of magic, which you [Xenon] said you’re figuring out, if I recall correctly?). He can also prophesize. I’m still confused on most of this, so to be developed :D.

Backstory: Same origin stuff as the other Novaspawn in terms of genetics and creation, stuff like that. He grew up with a single-parent family, and he was very attached to his parent in question. So, when he came to age to become a priest, he was very hesitant, because he would rarely see his parent again. In fact, before the magic test, he considered trying to fail on purpose and then retaking to become a scholar or something like that, but then he decided that would mean he’d be a disappointment, so he didn’t. He’s a priest now, a pretty young one, anyways, and he’d give pretty much anything to be able to roam around on Forengard more, and maybe see his parent more commonly, if he could do anything about that..

*Crush: Not shippable, sorry. Maybe when he’s older?

Other: My other deity who might still be nonexistent for another year
