vale lynx

LOVE IS A GUN SEPARATING ME FROM YOU

FULL NAME

Vale Lynx

NICKNAMES

None really other than insults for his trickeries.

AGE

Who honestly knows? At least he appears to be only twenty-three at best. Offsprings of fairies are blessed with a young appearance.

GENDER

Male

RACE

Changeling and Lynx. Changelings are usually the offspring of at least one fairy and given to a human family to raise to prevent inbreeding. Lynx are not only the medium sized wildcat, but an actual breed of lore that's said to roam the forest, a keeper of the forest in some aspects, usually invisible unless they want to be seen and making sure people respect the forest and them. It's said when they urinate, after a few days, a gem is created, but the Lynx smartly buries it and it's hidden within the forest. If you wish to find the Lynx, they enjoy gifts and they can lead you to a fortune of gems or prove to be a stubborn enemy.

SEXUALITY

Heterosexual

POWER(S)

Changelings have little or no power. He inherited the blessing of a long life and the ability to look young. Other than that, the only thing he received from the fairy side of his lineage was the ability to read the vibrations of the earth. In essence, that means that he knows when a storm is brewing, when an earthquake is coming, and things alike. For the other side of his lineage, the Lynx part, he is given the job of overlooking a certain part of the forest. In lore, Lynxs are creatures that can choose when they want to be seen. He can disappear from human eye and change into cat form when he pleases. He is keeper of the gems and it's rumored that Lynx's can create gems, but Vale refuses to confirm this. In lore, Lynx's are also either a blessing or a curse to see. He can lead you to a fortune or he can lead you to your downfall. It depends on how well you treat him and his current fancies. Respect him well and he might lead you to some expensive gems.

HAIR/FUR

Vale's actual hair is a choppy black that hangs wildly in his eyes. He never combs it, and it shows. It always smells of the forest, a scent he can never escape, even if he wanted to. It slightly resembles the fur of his lynx form which is spotted black and brown, good for camouflage even though he never lets anyone see his lynx form. To others, he remains a mystery, as most changelings do.

EYES

His eyes never change no matter his form. They are a dark brown that reflects a cedar's trunk color.

BODY TYPE

Humanoid and cat. In his human form, he appears lithe and strong, almost like a dancer. He moves slyly and gracefully. He always lands on his feet. The same goes for his cat form although because his body mass is more compacted, he appears as if he has a stronger build than he normally would.

APPEARANCE

The first thing many people notice about Vale is the way he carries himself. He walks with a delicate purpose, with sing-song mischief, always keeping a smirk on his face when he allows people to see his human form. His hair is always standing any which way the wind blows. Some say he appears like an incarnation of nature itself. He moves like the leaves blowing in an autumn wind, like a dancer, like a cat deciding whether to maliciously maul its prey or pounce. His clothing is generally in black just to blend in with the night, the usual time he likes to show himself. But he has an affinity for black clothing naturally and is always attempting to express himself in other ways. There can be confusion about him sometimes; at times he can appear feminine, thanks to being a cat shifter, and he doesn't try to assert his masculinity. He's that confident. Anyone can see his confidence when they take the time to observe him even for a second.

Vale was given the blessing of being somewhat tall. As a man, he stands approximately six feet high. In cat form, of course he doesn't come close, but he's still a rather large lynx at best. There's a lankiness about him but one that appears sturdy. He is no weakling, even though he chooses to flee most of the time at a fight. He can't exactly fight well, but that has nothing to do with his appearance. The only other thing to note is his skin tone, which would normally be like a warm tan, but time has worn on him even though he's really not that old. Perhaps it's been other things. If one were to take a look into his eyes, they would see a dying fire. The same with his skin; the tan of summer faded away into the paleness of winter. He doesn't bother keeping himself exactly healthy and would rather roam the nights instead of the days. Poor thing is lonely.

LIKES

Anything good to drink, women, attending parties, guarding the forest, and playing tricks on people.

DISLIKES

Giving away treasure, you, being tame, rules of society, not being intoxicated.

STRENGTHS

Hiding, if you count that as a strength. He always has tricks up his sleeve and is great at figuring out tricky ways to trap people. And lastly, he has a strength in reading the earth so to speak, as it is probably the only thing the fairy side blessed him with.

WEAKNESSES

While he technically could fight for himself, he prefers to flee; he can't exactly fight that well. He's smart and cunning, but he tends to overindulge on many things and people. His tricks also come back to bite him in the butt sometimes.

HABITS

Tricking people and winding up the truth.

SECRETS

That he's been in love with someone society would think of as his sister. Such is the curse of a changeling.

PERSONALITY

Vale has all three seasons combined into one body. He can be warm like summer, cool and easy going like spring, chilly and mysterious like fall, and cold and bitter like winter. There are those good days and those bad days. In the winter seasons of his mood, he takes to using liquor to warm him up a bit; it seems like winter is the majority season that takes over his personality.

Vale is one of those people looking outside of the box, constantly. He sees things differently, perhaps because of his lineage, perhaps because he has an artistic eye. That's mainly shown on what he wears at times, otherwise, it's suppressed.

He's the kind that says whatever is on his mind even if that gets him in trouble. That's where his disappearing skills are put into use because he can't exactly defend himself for too long, and he would rather come back as unscathed as possible. Yet Vale is the type of character that enjoys seeing how far he can go, how long he can survive while pushing other peoples' buttons. His mischief can never be bottled in.

All in all though, Vale might be a little pathetic when it comes to his loneliness. He spends his time either getting wasted or playing pranks. He can never not be in trouble and that's how he likes to live. It's more interesting that way, or so he says. He's a very alluring individual who uses that side of him to get what he wants. Vale is not past backstabbing or anything like that, don't let him fool you. He's an exquisite liar. He knows how to manipulate, he knows just what to say, because he knows where the insecurities lie. It's fascinating, really.

FATHER

Real father unknown. But the parent that raised him was called Burton something. He should still be alive.

MOTHER

Real mother unknown, but the woman who raised him was named Marylein. She too should be alive.

SIBLINGS

Technically he has no siblings, at least none that he knows of.

LOVE INTERESTS

There had been one at one time. It was the child of his foster parents, a beautiful girl whose name is Caspiana. Unfortunately she was married off when she turned eighteen. She's currently twenty. As for his current love interests, he doesn't love, or so he says, he simply uses.

CHILDREN

None. Let's hope so at least.

IMPORTANT FIGURES

Caspiana. She's worth repeating.

HISTORY

Poor Vale is said to be the offspring of fairy inbreeding. No, that's actually just a joke other fairies crack around him when they see the changeling. His lineage is one of uniqueness, that's for sure. His mother, a fairy, and his father a guardian of the forest, a lynx, decided to give him to the human world when he was a baby. Feeding a child just wouldn't do, so one night, in place of the human child, he was put in the crib; the exchange was hardly ever noticed. Vale probably could find his mother if he wanted to, and his father for that matter, but he never exactly wanted to after they deliberately abandoned him. He knew he was something different when he could begin to tell when storms were approaching. He knew the different feels of an animal crossing the terrain, but never shared that information. That and he learned how to play wicked tricks on his "siblings" because of his disappearing abilities.

There were many questions surrounding Vale though because unlike his light skinned "siblings" he was darker, unlike his lighter haired brothers and sisters, his hair was black. And so he began questioning where he came from at a young age. Anyone can get information if they offer up the right price. Vale did just that, giving who gave him information about his possible background a gem, ones he found in the forest. And at the age of seventeen, he figured out just what he was and understood why he felt so attached to the earth and the woods.

It was when this happened that his eyes were opened many other ways, perhaps not so holy ways. Since he felt as if he didn't truly have a family, that his parents forsook him, he turned his energies on something else, to find some sort of love. And he saw Caspiana, his "sister" even though they could never have been related. She was thirteen. And for the next five years, he wondered how he could explain to her that they weren't family. Such an odd situation to be in. But before anything happened, before he spilled that secret that his foster parents wondered about, Caspiana was promised off to another individual. And that's when he left the house, drawn to the forest and guarded it.

Since then, he's taken to using people, taken to drinking, and doing anything that makes him feel happy for the moment. He enjoys playing too many pranks on people and even though he knows karma will eventually come back and haunt him, but until then, he's having a hell of a time living it up.
