JUMP TO: ▶ appearance & body perception ▷ speech ▶ emotional & mental ▷ relationships ▶ beliefs ▷ daily life ▶ associations ▷ ratings APPEARANCE AND BODY PERCEPTION ① Describe the character's height and build. Is he heavyset, thin, short, rangy? Heavy-set and muscular, well-developed from spending all the time in the forge that he does - easily over 200 pounds, and standing about 6'1". A little less beeftastic in Cerealia than he was at home, but he's trying, ok. ② How old is he? In appearance, 35-40; in actuality, at least centuries, possibly millennia in his current incarnation. All of his incarnations added, he totals to over 20,000 years old, but he doesn't remember most of them - so effectively, he's just a few centuries. ③ Describe his posture. Does he carry himself well, or does he slouch? Years of being a king (and of Mina yelling at him STOP SLOUCHING!) sort of beat the slouch out of him, but you can still see him slipping into it, especially if he's tired or especially comfortable. ④ How is his health? Is he fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities? Well, fit as a centuries-old dude can be - he's strong, certainly, and has a fair bit of stamina. Still, he's not like he was in his thirties. He has a tendency to work himself to illness, and when he does, he's a total baby about it. ⑤ How does he move? Is he clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid? As most Eliatropes, he moves very fluidly, his philosophy of 'all life is motion' reflected in how he carries himself. ⑥ How attractive is this character physically? How does he perceive himself in the mirror? He's not bad-looking, especially if you like them tall, dark, and muscular. He doesn't tend to think of his own physical attractiveness much; when he looks in the mirror, he sees a body. ⑦ Describe his complexion: dark, light, clear, scarred? A medium-brown, marred with burn scars along his hands and arms. Darker in the summer, and with visible tan-lines along his shoulders. ⑧ Describe his hair: color, texture, style. Thick white hair, coming to between his chin and his shoulders in a mess. It's often dry from careless treatment and work in bad conditions. He tries his best to keep clean-shaven, but stubble crops up on his jaw if he's not too careful. ⑨ What color are his eyes? Deep brown. ⑩ Does the character have any other noteworthy features? All Eliatropes have large, blue wings made of wakfu cropping out from just above their ears. Their structure is somewhat like bat wings, and they're questionably corporeal, but easy to see even for those who don't normally have wakfu/energy vision. Thus, Eliatropes keep them covered by large hats. ⑪ What are his chief tension centers? Shoulders, and all the way down his arms to his wrists. ⑫ What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does he have six of the same suit? He never shows himself to anyone without a large, tailed black hat ending in a point; it has two little 'horns' that curve downwards from the sides of his head. The hat covers up those spoilery wings from before. Otherwise, he generally wears all black and dark colors, and a large cloak over his shoulders that ends around his shins. Color-coding for easy identification is basically an Eliatrope council class trait. In Cerealia, he keeps the color-coding, hat, and cloak, but takes a more modern tack for the rest of his clothing. ⑬ Do his clothes fit well? Does he seem comfortable in them? The pants are loose on him, but he's more comfortable that way - makes for easier movement leaping in and out of portals. ⑭ Does he dress the same on the job as he does in his free time? If not, what are the differences? When he's in the forge, he generally wears a heavier, flame-resistant cloak so as not to burn himself; in Cerealia, on the job, he doesn't really change it up. ⑮ You knew it was coming: what kind of underwear does he wear, if any? Headcanon says Eliatropes go commando, and that even if they don't, Chibi definitely does. >> top SPEECH ① What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse? Pretty average - loud, clear, and with a slight French accent. ② How does he normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does he talk easily, or does he hesitate? With a lot of stops for thought, question words, and rapid-fire trains of thought. He doesn't hesitate to say what's on his mind, only to word it; he thinks much faster than he speaks. ③ Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics? Question words, as mentioned before, and he has a slight accent that might read as French to someone familiar. ④ What language(s) does he speak and with how much fluency? His native language is Draconic, a fluid language that sounds a little bit like backwards French. Their written system looks like this. ⑤ Does he switch languages or dialects in certain situations? He talks and speaks to himself in Draconic, and it's easy for him to slip back into it without thinking. ⑥ Is he a good impromptu speaker, or does he have to think about his words? Definitely the type to think about his words - he thinks pretty fast, but it's hard to get his point across sometimes. ⑦ Is he eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change? When he has time to think about his words, such as for a poem or sermon, he's very eloquent. When he doesn't, he's much less eloquent. >> top EMOTIONAL AND MENTAL ① How intelligent is this character? Is he book-smart or street-smart? Practically a mechanical genius, and skilled with solving and creating puzzles. Parts of a system just fit together in his mind, and it's not difficult for him to see a thread of logic in the way something's put together, nor to improve on it. Unfortunately, the same skill doesn't extend to social situations; he's a bit naive, trying to find the best in everyone. ② Does he think on his feet, or does he need time to deliberate? He strives to be a thinker on his feet, fluid like the Goddess and like his own teachings, but... Well, we can't have everything we want. ③ Describe the character's thought process. Is he more logical or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical? Chibi has a non-linear thought pattern, constantly jumping from one train of thought to another. There's internal logic to it, but to an observer, said logic might be impenetrable. ④ What kind of education has the character had? A good one, by Eliatrope standards?? ⑤ What are his areas of expertise? What, if anything, is he interested in learning more about? He's an expert in not only engineering and technology, but the movement of wakfu and other incorporeal forces as well. (The former makes heavy use of the latter.) He wants to learn more, especially in Cerealia, about the software side of things and how to hack! Also, he's kind of a glutton for information in general. ⑥ Is he an introvert or an extrovert? He likes people well enough, and especially the new insights they provide, but definitely an introvert; he needs a lot of alone time to process everything going on in that head of his. ⑦ Describe the character's temperament. Is he even-tempered, or does he have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholic? Laid-back or driven? He's a cheerful fellow, or tries to be. He copes by being light-hearted about even the gravest topics, enough that he's (awkwardly) finding out it's off-putting to some mortals. He's also very laid-back, interest-driven without much of a work ethic. (But when he finds something he's interested in... He goes in.) ⑧ How does he respond to new people or situations? Is he suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic? He's almost never suspicious, always open and warm to new people. The way he sees it, all people have unique insight and talent to offer, even the off-putting or suspicious ones. ⑨ Is he more likely to act or to react? React, definitely; it's part of why he admires Yugo and his ability to act without prompting. Chibi's not the pot-stirring sort, but a 'go with the flow' kind of guy. ⑩ Which is his default: fight or flight? Flight, or to peacefully defuse the situation. Maybe in a previous life, he might have defaulted to fighting, but this Chibi's kind of a bleeding-heart pacifist. ⑪ Describe the character's sense of humor. Does he appreciate jokes? Puns? Gallows humor? Bathroom humor? Pranks? Puns and wordplay are always good, as are pranks (both good-natured and not), but irony is the best. ⑫ Does the character have any diagnosable mental disorders? If so, how does he deal with them? Not diagnosable, but he's plagued by night terrors and flashbacks to Visions, even though the Visions themselves aren't applicable in Cerealia. He deals with this by, er... Ignoring it? Ignoring it and writing poetry. ⑬ What moments in this character's life have defined him as a person? Chibi defines himself as a function of his Goddess, and wakfu itself: a spirit in motion, ever yearning towards enlightenment. Most of the moments defining his philosophy have been those of Visions, not of physical occurrences. Other than that, his relationship with Mina was a driver in getting him to practice the ideals of cultural togetherness he preached. ⑭ What does he fear? Losing Grougal permanently is his biggest fear. Other than that, he's scared of being trapped, the end of the world, and stasis (both in the literal force sense and the philosophical sense). ⑮ What are his hopes or aspirations? The furtherment of the Eliatrope people technologically, to join nature with the man-made as he feels life was meant to be. World peace. Inner peace. Rest. ⑯ What is something he doesn't want anyone to find out about him? In Cerealia, that he was king! He likes the way people see him right now, not as Your Majesty Prophet Chibi but as a sapient being worthy of respect in his own right. He worries that people knowing his social status will cause them to treat him differently, and in his experience, that only leads to isolation. Playing the part of mysterious patriarch is enjoyable enough sometimes, but terribly lonely. >> top RELATIONSHIPS ① Describe this character's relationship with his parents. His father, being a giant dragon made out of stasis, is generally absent, and Chibi snubs him pretty often. (Though, he sometimes wonders about stasis, but shoves it carefully to the back of his mind.) His mother, being a primordial goddess made out of wakfu, talks to him a lot in his dreams; She is the one from whom his prophetic visions stem. He's extremely devout, spends a lot of time trying to communicate with Her, and is generally a complete mama's boy. ② Does the character have any siblings? What is their relationship like? Eleven of them, technically! Feel free to scroll, but I'm going to list ALL OF THEM and hope you don't get too bored. - His twin, from the same Dofus (dragon egg), is a shape-shifting black dragon named Grougaloragran (say that three times fast). Dragon and Eliatrope pairs share a rudimentary mind-link and are considered two sides of the same coin. They are almost never seen apart, especially as children, and Grougal is very protective of Chibi. - There's Mina, his sister, high priestess, and lover, and her dragon brother Phaeris. More about Mina's detailed in the relationship section - her romantic relationship with Chibi is more notable than their relationship as siblings - but as for Phaeris, not much is ever said about their relationship. I imagine Phaeris being very wary of Chibi at first, though, then warming up to him as time goes by and his relationship with Mina grows more committed. - There's Yugo, his little brother, and his dragon brother Adamai. Chibi and Yugo hold each other in very high regard and are very close, to the point he's one of the two people in Chibi's will - and named as his successor to the throne. Yugo's the only one Chibi respects enough to hand the crown, and that's a big thing, considering how seriously he takes the safety of the Eliatrope people. - There's Qilby, his brother, colleague, and friend, and his dragon sister Shinonome. Qilby and Chibi worked together on countless projects, including the Zaap portals, which lasted even into the Wakfu era... But Qilby, though a genius and easy to talk to for Chibi, is a fragile mind. Chibi didn't release his will until after his death mostly because he knew Qilby would be furious he didn't give him the throne (and he was). Overall, Qilby's jealously possessive of Chibi and his ideals... To a bit of a weird extent, it seems. - Then there's Glip, teacher of all Eliatropes, and his dragon brother Baltazar. Nobody knows what Chibi thought of this sad little man. ③ Are there other blood relatives to whom he is close? Are there ones he can't stand? No other blood relatives. ④ Are there other, unrelated people whom he considers part of his family? What are his relationships with them? He considers everyone part of his family... No, really! All living beings, from the smallest to the largest, are born of the union of the Goddess and the Dragon, so he considers literally everything his family. ⑤ Who is the character's best friend? How did they meet? His best friend is, without doubt, his twin brother Grougaloragran. They met at birth, obviously, and have been inseparable since; as kids, they were often seen sticking their heads where they don't belong. As adults, their relationship has mellowed, but Grougal is his rock, and Chibi Grougal's voice of reason. Apart, it's just not the same. ⑥ Does he have other close friends? Besides his siblings, not really. In Cerealia, he's opening up to a few people, though. ⑦ Does he make friends easily, or does he have trouble getting along with people? On a surface level, he gets along with people well! He's a charming fellow, and he doesn't hesitate to launch into conversation. On a deeper level, of emotions and understanding, he often has difficulty connecting with people other than his siblings - mostly because he keeps much of his personal history and his emotional status under wraps. ⑧ Which does he consider more important: family or friends? Family, definitely. There are some things that nobody but Eliatropes can really understand, and nobody but Eliatropes should be allowed to know, he thinks. ⑨ Is the character single, married, divorced, widowed? Has he been married more than once? Marriage isn't necessarily a thing, but he has a very long-standing relationship with Mina that was severed only by his death. The normally stoic Mina mentions that she is "all emotion" with her love for him, and she performs frequent rituals to try and bring him back into the world, speaking of him with reverence even after his death. ⑩ Is he currently in a romantic relationship with someone other than a spouse? In Cerealia, he's turtleing towards something with England; they've gone on a few dates and shared a hasty few kisses with him in the Nexus Code. (To be fair, they thought they were going to die???.) It's easy to share things with England, for one; England is also immortal, and there's something magnetic about him that makes Chibi want to share. He's poised, graceful, and they both share the burden of duty as a patriarch and a nation. and dat butt hot ⑪ Who was his first crush? Who is his latest? First and longest crush was Mina (aww), latest is England! ⑫ What does he look for in a romantic partner? Someone who understands him on a deeper level, first and foremost: he needs someone who can draw him out of self-imposed seclusion and work into the inner sanctum of his heart. Someone who can challenge him and help him to grow, both in ideology and as a person. (He likes the nagging ones. This is a little embarrassing, but he owns it, at least.) A graceful way of carrying oneself and a spiritual beauty both help. ⑬ Does the character have children? Grandchildren? If so, how does he relate to them? If not, does he want any? No children; headcanon says the original six Eliatropes cannot reproduce, for inbreeding reasons. Chibi is very broken up about this, and wants desperately to have children of his own, something of his own flesh and blood. ⑭ Does he have any rivals or enemies? Not really, honestly. He has antagonistic CR with a few people in Cerealia, but he doesn't really see anyone as a rival or enemy, merely a potential collaborator. ⑮ What is the character's sexual orientation? Where does he fall on the Kinsey Scale? Pansexual, a solid 3 on the Kinsey scale; he doesn't see attraction as related to gender, and is more drawn to divine beauty within a person. Physically, he can find something that stokes that fire in either sex. ⑯How does he feel about sex? How important is it to him? Sex, to him, is a sacred ritual, like the original conjugation of the Goddess and Dragon; it is an art and an expression of love both. He'd like to say it's not important to him at all, but it is. ⑰ What are his turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits? Well, a guy that old's bound to have some wild kinks... >> top BELIEFS ① Do you know your character's astrological sign? How well does he fit the type? No sign, canonically, and it shouldn't matter much; he's been born and reborn so many times that birthdays don't matter or say much in the grand scheme of things. ② Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in his life? Extremely religious, and Eliatrope religion is inherently tied with spirituality: the movement of the spirit, the yearning to become one with the Goddess and 'discover' her, all of that. Chibi is the cultural author of these religious ideals and strives to perfect them in his own life. ③ Does this character have a personal code of ethics or morals? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it? Yes, and it's somewhat related to religion, like everything else! It really boils down to 'show gentleness and grace in all you do, and respect all life like your own.' To compromise it, it'd take the imminent threat of the End... See: getting on a spaceship and destroying numerous planets in the name of escaping the Mechasms. But nobody's supposed to know about that, to the point Chibi will outright lie about the existence of other planets, so shhh. ④ How does he regard beliefs that differ from his? Is he tolerant, intolerant, curious, indifferent? Mostly curious, and mostly tolerant, though he'll proselytize like crazy. If you're into destroying living things, though, he can't abide that. ⑤ What prejudices does he hold? Are they irrational, or does he have a good reason for them? Does a prejudice against stasis and stasis-aligned beings count?? He saw stasis end the world in his Visions! >> top DAILY LIFE ① What is the character's financial situation? Is he rich, poor, comfortable, in debt? Back home, Eliatropes don't use money; they're a hippie commune. In Cerealia, he's comfortable enough, though a bit more strapped for cash since the flood destroyed his belongings. ② What is his social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected him? Back home, he was the king, prophet, inventor, and general patriarch of his people, so pretty important and revered. He considers himself as having given it all up to die, though, and now in Cerealia he's just a weird hat elf. He can deal with that. ③ Where does he live? House, apartment, trailer? Is his home his castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does he share it with others? Back home, he shared a small dwelling connected to his workshop with Mina - but he spent much of his time in Wakanu, a secret temple hidden away in the middle of the Zinit. It's full of secret places and built like a maze. In Cerealia, he's got a little bachelor pad of an apartment, filled with flowers and connected machinery, which he shares with a goldfish and a roomba. ④ Besides the basic necessities, what does he spend his money on? Food (a guy's gotta have his red meat, ok) and materials for machinery. It's frustrating not having a forge, or the unfettered access to raw materials he had back home, but he makes do with kludging things together. ⑤ What does he do for a living? Is he good at it? Does he enjoy it, or would he rather be doing something else? Well, besides basically inventing half of the shit Eliatropes use (alongside Qilby)... In Cerealia, he's working as a HoloGM manufacturer/engineer. It's nice, to be making things that people use on a daily basis, but sometimes he wishes he could branch out a little more. Ah, well, that's what private projects are for. ⑥ What are his interests or hobbies? How does he spend his free time? He writes poetry, meditates, invents, sleeps... A lot of the sleeping thing, going on. ⑦ What are his eating habits? Does he skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods? The man loves his protein - meat, fish, wherever he can get it. (It shows in his muscular physique, at least.) A lot of times, he'll forget to eat if he's engrossed in something, but it'll come back to bite him and he'll eat everything in sight. Also, when he's stoned, he eats everything in sight anyway. He does drink alcohol, sometimes wine with dinner and sometimes arrack or whisky when he wants to turn up. >> top ASSOCIATIONS ① Color ➠ Black is his theme color, but wakfu-blue is the one he feels closest to. ② Smell ➠ Violets and machine oil. ③ Time of day ➠ The dead of night. ④ Season ➠ Spring. ⑤ Book ➠ Good question. ⑥ Music ➠ Anything melodic. ⑦ Place ➠ Wakanu, or in the middle of a flowerfield at dusk. ⑧ Substance ➠ Is wakfu a substance? ⑨ Plant ➠ A manolia. ⑩ Animal ➠ Platypus or ferret. >> top
