TOH Intros - Part 10: Cenys Burnnenburg
A bit of a gap between the last part and this, but here's my other undergrad Fankid, Cenys Burnnenburg!
Name: Cenys Burnnenburg (Sen-iss)
Age: 20 years old (mid-Summer birthday)
Pronouns: He/Him
School: University of Wild Magic (Junior Equivalent)
Study Program: Abomination Engineering
Palisman: Humdinger (Hodag)
Cenys Burnnenburg is the 20-year-old son of Boscha Burnnenburg and Skara Hagholm. He lives in Captown with his mom, Skara, his stepmom, Viney, and his half-sister, Opal. He graduated from St. Epiderm as an Abomination/Plant Track split, and has since gone on to study Abominations at the University of Wild Magic. He also plays on the school’s Captown Relay team.
Cenys is incredibly intelligent, but suffers from a lack of motivation for anything that he’s not explicitly interested in. Just like his younger half-brother, he’s easily overwhelmed, and he’s got a short temper. However, anger for him generally manifests as frustrated brooding and short, snappy responses rather than the explosive episodes Fenyr has. On average, though, Cenys fronts as pretty laid-back and carefree.
Cenys’ motivation is fleeting, and his interests can change on a dime. During his primary education, he took courses for every track but Potions, tried out for every sport, and attended at least one meeting for almost 60% of the various clubs and extracurricular activities that both Hexside and St. Epiderm had to offer. He eventually settled into the Abomination and Plant tracks when he moved to St. Epiderm, but has since dropped the Plant part for his upper-level education.
Much of Cenys' rapidly-changing interests comes from a deep-seated boredom and dissatisfaction with life. He can front carefree and positive all he wants, but on the inside he feels like he's just existing. He doesn't feel like he has the same spark that he sees in the people around him. He isn't going anywhere important. He isn't doing anything significant. He's just there.
One of Cenys’ more long-lasting interests is the Captown Relay, something he’s found he excels at. While at St. Epiderm, Cenys broke the school’s Leg Speed record two years in a row, and he previously held the Isles-wide student record before it was broken by Mycha Park. He’s currently on the University of Wild Magic’s undergraduate relay team, playing alongside Veles Noceda-Foster and team captain Abrin L'Achyntha.
Cenys looks a lot more like Skara than he does Boscha. He has Skara's pinkish-grey hair, which he tends to keep short, and his skin color is a few shades lighter than Skara's. He had her slimmer build when he was younger, but it's since filled out a bit from being on the Relay team. He also shares her rounded facial features, her wide mouth, and her upturned nose. The only physical trait he shares with Boscha is his third eye. That eye shares her greyish-blue eye color, but his lower eyes share Skara's warmer grey.
Magic-wise, Cenys is fairly average. He kept decent grades in his tracks, staying just above average for most of his schooling. He excels at the theory, able to explain the how and the why with ease, but he falls a bit short in actual practice. Still, he's capable enough to stay competitive for university scholarships. His real area of expertise is Palisman flight. Cenys is unmatched in his league, and can even give most professional flyers a run for their money. His Relay time, which currently holds the Undergraduate record, is a full 3 minutes below the second-place slot and just 22 seconds shy of the professional record.
Cenys' Palisman, Humdinger, is a Hodag; a large, 4-legged creature with a bear/frog-ish face, the tusks of a boar, large claws, and a line of spikes down his back and tail. Humdinger has bluish-green fur with gold-colored spikes, claws, and tusks. His eyes are a light green with black pupils.
Humdinger is, as affectionately described by Cenys, a “big old dumbass”. He may look vicious and scary, but he's really a clumsy, loveable goof. He's extremely friendly and loves meeting new people and Palismen, but has a tendency to get way too excited about it.
Cenys adopted him from the Park Family Home for Palismen when he was still living in Bonesborough, and the two of them have shared a very close bond ever since. This bond is the primary reason for Cenys' air dominance. The two of them understand each other in a way not many Palisman and their owners can achieve, acting as a single entity in the air rather than pilot and aircraft.
