alto
about
|
- Mom and dad died in a car accident when he was 8. He lived with various extended family members until he ran away.
- Inherited his shifting abilities from his dad. But due to lack of proper training and various other limits, Alto can't shift into anything non-human.
- His current appearance was not the one he was originally born with nor is it the first false appearance he's taken on.
- Passive, unobtrusive, and appears calm most of the time. He speaks only when directly spoken to, limiting himself from social burden whenever possible. Hates speaking idly so he will cut-off a conversation if he can't find something to respond to.
- For friends, he doesn't mind listening to their problems. So long as they don't expect the same amount of conversation back.
- He's very good at keeping secrets.
- It's not so much that he hates hearing other people talk, but he himself just doesn't want to be expected to engage in active conversation. He listens to narrated documentaries and podcasts during his free time.
- Thinks in his mind a lot, and often does have a lot to say. He's not afraid to voice his opinions either. But if it involves lengthy conversation with someone he doesn't want to talk extensively to, then he won't.
- He expresses his anger not through raising his voice or flying into blind rage. Rather his arms tense up and he bites his lips, chews the insides of his mouth, grinds his teeth, clenches his fists until his knuckles are white, or digs his nails into his skin. While he tone of voice may not change much, he uses profanities more liberally.
- Looks and is tired most of the time. He squints a lot not because he's got bad eye sight, but because he's probably running on 5 hour energy and has dry eyes again.
- Hardworking to a fault. De-stresses by getting wasted at random house parties because he cannot get alcohol and substances otherwise. Yes, his sleep schedule is a wreck.
- Has a disintegrated and fleeting sense of humor.
- Gets ticked off by seemingly-trivial things such as the sky not being the right shade of blue today, his socks being slightly grayer than the other, or waking up on the wrong side of bed.
- The last relative he stayed with was his mother's distant cousin who did not care about him or his well-being at all. Often neglecting him and ignoring his existence in general. Alto stole whatever he could find around in the house and left sophomore year of highschool. He was supposed to have stayed with this relative until he was legally old enough to live on his own.
- Previously, he lived his life in a sort of daze before he finally found himself so frustrated and discontent with his life and especially himself. So he ran away for a better life. Really, anything was better than this unending hellhole.
- He shifted his appearance a couple of times throughout his move, finally settling on his current appearance when he found long-term residence in a room of an apartment complex that specifically houses supernatural beings in the outskirts of a town.
- Did this both to be undetectable by his legal guardian at the time, but also to detach his present self from his past self.
- Current struggles: College, wondering if he's in a safe enough position to be able to go back into his past and take responsibility for running away, whether to reconnect with the family members that knew his parents, closure with himself, the fact his boyfriend is one 1 human soul away from becoming a demonic monster.
