Description

Old version of his bio is here: www.deviantart.com/malomarsh/a…

-------------------------

Name: “Blanc” is the answer he will give you when you ask for his name
Nickname(s): Fellow Tinea call him… something, a mixture of chitters and chirps that the human tongue can’t replicate.
Age: 19
Race/species: Tinea
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Pansexual (due to how Tinea as a species handle finding partners. To a human he would seem to be Asexual)
Occupation: Lunar Shaman

-------------------------

Height: 3’1”
Weight: 238 Pounds
Hair Color: Light Grey
Eye Color: Red. Blanc’s eyes also lack true pupils. Instead having pseudopupils that always appear to be making eye contact with onlookers.
Blemishes: None, he makes it a point to hide any that may appear.
Clothing Style: None! Blanc is very proud of his form, and he opts to show as much of his body as he can. Additionally, Tinea typically wear very little clothing due to already possessing body filament and living in a hot climate.

-------------------------

Likes:
✧ The Moon: Like most Tinea. Blanc worships the Moon as a deity called “the Gentle Light”. Blessed with skin as pale as the moon’s surface, he was chosen by his fellows to lead in both prayer and ritual. Thus, Blanc has the moon to thank for his present social status.
✧ Flowers: Though not for the reason that most might assume. Blanc does enjoy their appearance. However, his enjoyment of flowers comes from what they mean on his homeworld of Planet 5732-A. Flowers follow the onset of the wet season. And the onset of the wet season means food!
✧ Savory Flavors: He likes sweet and sour, but Blanc REALLY likes savory tastes. Being liquivorous, this means his favorite foods are, among other things, blood and other animal fluids.

Dislikes:
✧ Most people: Rather than viewing people neutrally, and choosing to dislike them if they are unpleasant. He is not fond of most people right off the bat, It is difficult, but not impossible, to get Blanc to like you truly. The way to his heart is through his stomach.
✧ Humans: In particular. Strange, mostly hairless creatures with no wings to speak of, and only one pair of arms? Disgusting! Blanc only begrudgingly tolerates humanity, and that is mostly because they make very good food.
✧ Distractions: Tinea are a short-lived species, and Blanc is acutely aware of this fact. Do not waste his time. He will not forgive you for that.

Personality Strengths:
✧ Devout: Greedy, manipulative, flaky- all of this is true. But if nothing else, Blanc is genuine in his worship of the Gentle Light. He will gladly explain the Tinea religion to those unfamiliar. As well as assist his fellows in matters of faith.
✧ True to His Word: As far as Blanc is concerned, a promise is a promise, and must be held no matter what. Being the sort of person he is however, Blanc is not above twisting the meaning of his words to come out on top.
✧ Careful: A direct result of his ‘waste no time’ attitude. Blanc takes great care to avoid making mistakes that could cost him precious hours. Though ironically, he may sometimes spend hours deliberating on a fairly trivial decision.

Personality Weaknesses:
✧ Antisocial: By his kind’s standards. Blanc is remarkably tolerant of others' presences. This is not saying much though, and his ‘social battery’ is one with a small maximum charge. It's not uncommon for Blanc to abruptly and unceremoniously dip from social functions.
✧ Denial: If he does not like the idea of something. Even with evidence. Blanc may well choose to ignore it. Simply utterly refusing to consider it true. Indeed, sometimes even if the evidence is right before him.
✧ Cagey: Outside of his own social group. Blanc is reluctant to share information about himself. This is largely born out of paranoia that said information would be used against him. Or shared to someone who would do so.

Fears:
✧ Rain: Though Blanc likes what comes with the wet season. He does not like the sight, sound, or feeling of rain itself. As an Eft, pre-metamorphosis, he was attacked by a predatory animal while his senses were dampened by the rainfall. Vague memory of this event manifests as anxiety during storms and overcast conditions.
✧ The Moon: Being a dedicated servant to the Gentle Light. Yet taking advantage of others the way he does. Blanc sometimes stops to think to himself- what if The Moon disapproved of that? What would become of him? It’s a question that he does not want to learn the answer to. Yet sometimes keeps him up during the day, when he ought to be sleeping.

-------------------------

Fatal Flaw: Zealous: Having lived his entire life in a single tribe. Among the Tinea, a species with little religious variety. Blanc is only loosely familiar with the concept of other religions and deities existing. It is something that he has fallen into denial about. He rather struggles to keep a cool head when such topics are discussed. Making him disposed to either suddenly leave or even snap into anger.

Personality: Seemingly a quiet, knowledgeable soul. Someone to come to bearing questions, and depart from laden with answers. Blanc has acquired a wealth of knowledge, though this is primarily due to speaking with many other Tinea over the years rather than from direct worldly experience. He is at heart a manipulator, and a patient one at that. He might not get you the first time. Yet in that very conversation the seed is planted. Blanc gets what he wants, sooner or later. Teasing his desires out of the people he knows.

Skills/Talents:
✧ Lying: Blanc can effortlessly spin a lie as though it were always true. If one doesn’t have the prior knowledge to catch the holes in what he’s telling them- they probably won’t notice.
✧ Good Memory: If you tell Blanc something. Unless it was truly insignificant. He won’t forget it. This is one of the reasons that he knows so much.
✧ Playing the Victim: Even if he is in trouble, Blanc has a very nasty trick up his sleeve- exploiting his kindly first impression, and ‘cute’ appearance. He can, to a stranger, easily seem to be the victim of a situation, and rally people to his defense.

-------------------------

Biography: Blanc was born as all others of his kind are. As one of hundreds of eggs buried in a distant spawning ground. He emerged a larva, spending his early life as a part of Planet 5732-A’s harsh ecosystem. On metamorphosing into an adult and attaining a thinking mind. Blanc was fortunate to be welcomed into a relatively prosperous south-pole tribe.
There he was given considerable attention. On account of his pale skin, the other Tinea deemed Blanc to be “Moon-Blooded”. He was educated in the ways of the Gentle Light. Eventually taking up the mantle of a Lunar Shaman. His role was to serve as a mouthpiece for the moon, and to lead in prayer.
This was a role he took to like a fish to water. In return, the other Tinea of his tribe took care of his basic survival. Leaving offerings of food and other supplies at the entrance to his dwelling. Life as a Lunar Shaman was not without its trials. It necessitated frequent and sometimes long conversation. As well as the answering of countless questions- about life, the world, and everything. Years of this forced Blanc into becoming more patient, yet also resulted in him becoming a well of knowledge for his tribe.
Eventually, Blanc figured that if he had to endure the constant talk. He ought to get something more from those speaking with him. He began to slip little suggestions to the Tinea with which he spoke. A mention of a favored food item here, a passing quip that he was hungry there. The subtlety of such efforts eventually bore fruit. His offerings grew in quantity. In frequency too. A fact which soon was reflected in having what other Tinea would consider a wet-season physique, but year round.
Having become a central pillar of his community. Blanc soon grew ambitious. Wandering into the wilderness beyond the tribe, and meditating in the glow of moonlight. Seeking direct communion with the moon. These efforts have thus far not borne fruit.

Goals: To speak with the moon. One on one.
Wishes: That he could just be left alone for a while.
