Character A
Name: Pax Solares
Species: Tammer
→ Origin: Tammers are said to have been created by witches in the distant past. They were the ideal familiar, possessing an innate magic of their own that made them the perfect messengers. Over time the exposure to magic stronger than their own brought about an increase in intelligence. One such tammer, according to one version of the story, asked his witch for a form to better assist her in. Granting this request, the very first humanoid tammer was brought about.
Another tale of their origin is that a minor god or goddess created them in the likeness of the moon rabbit, granting them wings to someday return and a tail to balance in a different realm of gravity.
→ Powers: Can locate and teleport to someone using a token, which is a special item associated with the target. Can forgo the use of a token if Pax is bonded with the target (in this sense, bonded meaning having a mutually trusting relationship whether that be familial, platonic, or romantic.) The teleportation takes about three seconds in which an aurora envelops her and her body is lifted before vanishing.
While she can locate and teleport to individuals, she has no way to determine the state of that person or their surroundings prior to her travel.
Her wings are little more than decoration. They’re not large enough to bear her weight in flight, though because her body is so light they allow her to slow her fall to a degree. This mainly comes in handy when she teleports.
Age: 24
Gender: Androgyne
Pronouns: She/her, but is indifferent to the pronouns others refer to her with.
Sexuality: Pansexual
Ethnicity: Colombian-American (3rd generation immigrant)
Appearance:
Five foot three. Cream-colored spiky hair spotted with ash brown. Petit face, pointed jaw. Large, wide brown eyes. Pronounced front teeth with a small gap between. Small nose. Asymmetric dimple. Small hands and feet. Long ears, long tufted tail, and small wings that are all cream-colored and spotted with ash brown.
Wears loose clothing for ease of movement with simple, earthy colors. Wears additional bracelet(s) and bangles on the tail when fancy strikes. Shoes have an abstract rabbit motif in place of typical branding.
Personality: ISFJ, Defender.
Pax is impulsive. She’s drawn to the things she’s most interested in and she sees little reason not to indulge. Even still she has a tried and true routine that she enjoys sticking to, but will stray from for a good enough whim. Her biggest source of irritation is when she's interrupted or prevented from following those whims, viewing those sorts of disruptions as a huge waste of her time.
Pax is financially motivated. She’ll do just about anything for a quick buck so long as it’s not harmful to her or anyone else’s physical or mental health.
Pax takes her studies seriously, but not to the point of burnout. If skipping an assignment means she can have a peaceful night in once and a while, she’s willing to take the hit to her grade. This means she’s a solid B and C student, and she’s perfectly content with this.
She has no problem calling out abuse of authority or clear acts of injustice against others. If the offender doesn’t check themselves, she’s not above taking it into her own hands and dealing with it quietly.
Terrible at recognizing flirting when it’s directed at her, and gets easily flustered when it’s pointed out. Even general compliments have a tendency to fluster her.
Tends to give off the vibe of someone who knows exactly what they want out of life—though that’s far from the truth.
Character Flaws:
She finds people difficult to interact with, partly because she has a difficult time reading their intentions. She’s inadvertently trained herself to assume the worst because assuming the best has screwed her over in the past. This can make her seem unsociable or standoffish, though in reality she’s just a little awkward.
Tries to handle everything on her own, which often leads to self-isolation. Though she has a good support system, she likes the independence of handling things “like an adult”. Except when things get overwhelming and she’s stuck teetering between burnout and depression.
Habits:
-Doodles and scribbles character or story ideas in the margin of her crappy notes.
-Chews on the ends of pens or pencils.
-Does little hand movements when she’s zoned out thinking about dance.
-Bounces her leg up and down or fidgets with her charm bracelet.
Backstory (Brief):
Pax is from a large family of tammers, although a few of the members on her dad’s side of the family are actually wolpentingers (sadly, she didn’t inherit the fangs). Her childhood was rather unremarkable, but chaotic in the way large families tend to be. A million schedules to remember, an ever fluctuating chore chart, and always a few raised voices as white noise. They were a low-income family, but managed to scrape by and never held back when it came to supporting her and her siblings' dreams.
Pax herself has always felt the pressure to do her family right, to go to college and earn a higher degree of education so she can give back once she’s made it big. Though dance is her true passion, majoring in charms is a compromise between a field of study she enjoys and something that is more likely to land her a lucrative job offer one day.
Initially, the perceived pressure to do well manifested into severe burnout and depression, which she hid from her family and attempted to handle on her own. Pax wasn’t prepared for the drastically different life of college after finding security in a high school routine, and creating a new method to keep up with it all was overwhelming. During this time she sought support from a friend she made in her first year, who would later sabotage her chances at maintaining her scholarship due to a miscommunication taken personally.
At the absolute rock bottom of her mental health and with nowhere else to go, Pax picked herself off the ground and applied for a job. With the support of her family, she began therapy and was soon after diagnosed with ADHD-C and depression. And with proper medication and coping mechanisms in her back pocket, her mental health gradually began to improve again. She sets aside as much of the money she makes as possible to pay back her family for their help covering therapy and tuition, but she’s also saving up to carve out her own place in the world.
Aspirations:
Secretly dreams of becoming a traveling backup dancer and working with groups similar to the ones that have inspired her for years.
Pax desperately wants a space that’s her own, even if it means living in a small apartment with a roommate she hasn’t met yet. It’s her main source of hesitation and the last hurdle she needs to clear before actually committing to applying.
Theme Song: Outro: Wings by BTS
Notes:
-Majoring in Charms, minoring in Dance. She does both contemporary and hip hop.
-Has a charm bracelet to hold the very real (magical) charms she’s managed to perfect. Most are for variations of good luck.
-Her notes are all written in shorthand and almost completely indecipherable—even to her.
-Favorite genres of music are EDM and Kpop, but listens to a lot of hip hop for inspiration.
-Works at a shipping facility where she unloads shipments from trucks. It’s very physically taxing, but she enjoys it because she can listen to music while she works.
-The spirit of her childhood cat, Teak, follows her around sometimes. It rarely shows itself to others.
-Sits backwards in chairs because it’s more comfortable with a tail and wings.
-She rarely uses her powers these days, except for when she's running late.
