Gender: Male
Symbol: A scoop of ice cream in a cone.
Personality:
Do they have any quirks? Hobbies? What are their feelings about the hemospectrum? How do they get out and interact with other trolls?
Strengths:
Silver Tongue: Aandes is a sweet talker, to say the least. He's cool-headed in social situations, and has natural talent for getting what he wants through his natural speaking ability and sharp presence. In fact, Aandes can be quite the little showman; even at his young age he is showing signs of flirtatiousness and charm. With his ability to pick up on emotional queues, Aandes can transform from an empathetic helping hand, to a wily co-conspirator, and back to an innocent passerby in an instant. He tends to keep himself out of trouble this way, deflecting blame with his charisma in a pinch.
Adventurous: Aandes' rambunctiousness and dreams of travel contribute to him being a very bold young troll. He's not afraid to step out of his hive and try new things (when he cares to, that is), and prefers stepping out of his comfort zone over playing it safe. Aandes seeks new thrills in all aspects of his life, and doesn't settle for mediocrity. In relationships, food, locations and pastimes, the troll isn't afraid to be a risk-taker for the highest profit.
Perceptive: Aandes scrutinizes every angle of a situation. When it comes to piecing details together, Aandes learns fast. He loves using his awareness for his social exploits and pays close attention to body language when interacting with other trolls to predict and sway any interaction in his favor.
Flaws:
Egotistical: Aandes has an inflated ego, and he can't resist flaunting it. While his narcissistic sense of self-preservation helps keep Aandes on the top of the food chain (as far as greenbloods are concerned, anyway), he won't hesitate to throw any number of trolls under the bus to maintain his pride and standing. Despite his saccharine speech, Aandes doesn't tend to think of others very highly-- he puts himself above others and doesn't tend to hold anyone in high respect.
Aandes' pride also gets him into trouble more often than he'd like. It's hard for him to walk away from someone who threatens his ego or insults him personally. If there's any method to shattering Aandes' cool, it's through his pride. He'll even get physical when dealt a low-blow of sorts.
Reckless: Being a risk-taker as he is, Aandes is also a bit of an adrenaline junkie. He may endanger himself or others doing things that are physically dangerous, because he loves pushing his limits. Both riding on perilous edges or pulling a fast one on a high blood tend to end up with someone hurt or dead, and young Aandes doesn't understand the consequences of his actions enough to really care about the true dangers of Alternia.
Flighty: It's tough to get Aandes to commit to anything that he doesn't completely believe in. What he does believe in is serving himself, so doing things for others without personal reward is usually out of the question. Furthermore, Aandes is unable to commit to stable relationships. With his ideal relationship being largely one-sided and using others as tools for his own sake, getting to know the real Aandes LaMode is an arduous and frustrating process.
Weapon: It's a dangerous world out there! Even with lusus in tow, Aandes has taken every caution to avoid trouble and has outfitted his cart with easily accessible weapons. Each of the wheels hides a small stack of decorative chakrams. He isn't great at using them yet, and prefers using them close range. He'd hate to lose them by throwing them.
Appearance: (See cute art!)
Aandes' classic look as far as fashion is concerned differs subtly from day to day. His hairstyle seems to be a surefire constant, however, and he takes pride in maintaining it. Isn't his coif pristine?
Home: Aandes lives in a tiny hive on the far end of the lake in Four Fronds. It's not much, but it accommodates Koalapop's need to drop from trees, as well as giving Aandes a natural route to follow when riding around the lake. Aandes has never been sure how his lusus found such prime territory; he'll be quick to spread the rumor that it's haunted by the ghost of its previous owner, a psychic lowblood hunted for sport.
The hive itself is perky and geometric, with splashes of color painted inside the home and visible through the hive's many windows during the night. There are only a few separate rooms, with a main living space and a dual nutrition block and block that Koalapop resides in while inside.
Aandes' respite block is on the cramped second floor, which resembles something of an attic. It barely fits his oblong recuperacoon (which he has attached makeshift wheels to, and added racing stripes), and some mechanical parts for his cart. He also has an impressive number of posters on his wall of celebrities.
Lusus: Aandes' lusus takes the form of a rather long koala, with an extra pair of legs, spindly fingers and a coiled prehensile tail. Aandes refers to him affectionately as Koalapop, or just Pops. Aandes is always carrying around his lusus. Whether Koalapop is clinging to his back or in the sidecar of his cart, his lusus is ever present-- physically, that is. Despite him being around Aandes so often in his childhood, Koalapop is absent during many of his charge's important milestones, tending to forget or lack the willpower to attend. Koalapop has never been an active lusus, and spends most of his time eating and sleeping. He is proud of his charge, showers him with praise, and gives him free reign of the hive, his route and even his funds. His passivity allows the troll a certain amount of independence, but has largely lead to Aandes' big ego, frivolous spending and reckless personality. Koalapop is so laid back it's hard to imagine him completely lucid, but Aandes does tell of a few instances when he has been sobered up and is actually quite ferocious in nature.
Power: N/A
