— Shadowed —- ///Voice of the Skeptic ///—-
🪞Some universe nicknames: Skep/tictac/skeppy but usually none
Pronouns/gender (subject to change): He/him
Any boundaries I have related to this version/character: don't ship with a smitten and you’re good
👁️Some of the character’s perspective on this form: Doesn’t have many thoughts on it outside of curiosity around why it is the way it is and why they are all different in the ways they are.
✨Handful of design fun facts/details to keep in mind✨
-somewhat stiff posture (old man back hurt syndrome) and almost always leaning more to one side (hip also hurt)
-what looks like a chain around his neck is actually different textured/slick black feathers on his neck. The feathers are somewhat glossy and are laying the right layers/lengths to look like metal at a first glance even in person but it is indeed feathers
-tufts are small but very expressive
-I usually draw HEA shape different
-feathers on shoulders create an almost sleeveless/frayed tank top shape and pants are almost like frayed shorts. This is a litttle to just separate from all the coat shapes in many skeptic designs but mostly to make him almost a little ill-prepared explorer type
-scale textures are different than the other voices on his arms/legs/tail
-his bigass tail is tipped with feathers to make an almost aquatic shape but would NOT help swimming (opposite actually)
-tail is also meant to be somewhat rat like for experiments/curiosity references
-tail fan is also vaguely V shaped (but far less clearly than tail of dragon like tail)
🪶Handful of version headcanons/personality details🪶
-his feathers have pockets and he always has a little journal in there but he also often carries a satchel
-face is very expressive but usually just doing his thinking squint
-mutters out loud to himself if he’s thinking too much
-spends long hours in his own room
-will forget to eat and sleep until he’s falling asleep somewhere random
-water phobia AND opposite if water proof
-eventually takes to dust baths once hunted and Smitten figure that out for him
-has sharp pointed talons and taos them on things when thinking so any table/desk/piece of furniture has little divots in them in their house wherever he stands or sits often
