rylan
Rylan is a shapeshifter. He has a human form (that I haven't gotten to yet :x) but enjoys his canine form more - so people don't bother him as much.
Rylan is a fairly reserved male. He keeps to himself most of the time, and only talks to others if he's talked to first or if he needs something. He's a mystery to the people around him - except for his best friend, Quinn. He's basically the only person Rylan will talk to without a reason. Even though he does keep to himself, he does enjoy the sense of danger and adventure. He'll often wander off out of plain curiosity to inspect something. On these adventures, he often meets new people and collects unique things from them. His mother gave him a key before she died, but never told him what it goes to. Once, he went out to sea with a pirate mutt named Denali, and was given a penny with the word "lucky" carved in it to remember her by. Another time, he wandered into a forest claimed by elves, where a white wolf found and befriended him. From the elves, he was given "three wishes" - the three beads on his bracelet - and a message about how to use them connected to another band he wears on his front left leg. Though he's never had the right opportunity to use them, he keeps them close and doesn't like anyone to touch them. And finally, he was given a blue stone that will heal him faster if he happens to get hurt by an old professor he met. He enjoys reading books, and also has a drive to understand the way things work -whether that's mechanically, or the way people think. He has an adventuresome spirit and thrive with action. Without it, he becomes bored and restless. To some, he's considered fearless because of the risks he's willing to take. He likes to be doing something constantly, and doesn't like to sit still for to long. Rylan is fiercely independent - he needs his own space to let him make his own choices. Being alone helps him think clearly. He doesn't like to follow rules, and would rather do his own thing than be controlled by someone else. He is loyal to his own beliefs, which includes the fact that everyone should be treated fairly and equally. Though he doesn't like rules placed by others, he will follow his own faithfully and refuses to be included in something that breaks these rules. He is adaptable and spontaneous - he responds to what is in front of him at that moment and doesn't really think of the future or past at the time. He focuses on details and practical things, and has an excellent sense of expediency and grasp of the details that allows him to make quick, effective decisions. Rylan avoids making judgments based on personal values - he thinks that they should be made based on facts. He usually doesn't pay much attention to what he's feeling, or how he's affecting others around him. Sometimes he doesn't trust his feelings and tries to ignore them, because he can't tell if it's an emotion reaction or a value judgment, which is a problem for him. When he becomes over stressed, he has angry outbursts at anybody close to him at the time. When over stressed, any little action can set him off. After his anger, he usually feels better and apologizes, or storms off to be alone and think - depending on the person. If he believes he can't do something, he'll judge himself and probably end up not being able to do the task, or expects the worst outcome. Rylan is one of the best people to have in a crisis situation. He's athletic and good with following through on things and tying up loose ends. He's intelligent and does well with problem situations. He's usually a patient person, though can have an emotional outburst due to his lack of attention to his feelings. He's generous, optimistic, loyal to his equals, uncomplicated in his desires, and doesn't want part in confining commitments. Second Ref |
