B A C K G R O U N D

Born from the love of his parents, Alika was, unsurprisingly, born from an egg on the seashore. Without his parents around to raise him, solitude and wilderness was all he ever really knew before he came across a young girl who had been collecting seashells throughout the morning hours.
For the first time in years, he was able to gain the comfort of another.
Not long after, the two had basically become inseparable until the pair had two more joining the group.
Gaining the company of the daughter of Poseidon and son of Achillies and Patroclus, the summer months almost always seemed to bring Alika something to look forward to. That was until it was time to spread his own wings.
Urged by the winds and horizons to go in search of his own identity to build, Alika did just that. Traveling from place to place, he spent his youth from the tropics to freezing temperatures until it was time to return to where he had come from. However, by then, nothing was really the same.
All the people he had met all those years ago had gone their own ways, and even the place he once considered home was different. With no other place to go, he figured enrolling in the nearby college would be his best bet at a somewhat normal life.


P E R S O N A L I T Y

Alika has never really ever been a "people person", as he was often off in his own little world and keeping himself safe. The very few people that he did let into his world, at this point, more than likely knew him like the backs of their hands.
A sucker for adventures and thrilling events, Alika almost is always poking his nose into something that has nothing to do with him, even if he isn't directly involved in it. If you ever need the latest news on something, he more than likely is your go-to guy.

But for a cost, of course
However, even now, he still carries the same exact habits that he used to when he was a child. Picking at his nails when he's stressed, fluttering his feathers when excited, or just whistling a small bird song to keep himself busy as the days go by. Regardless, unless you somehow have the charisma of the Gods (get it?) themselves, it's fairly hard to win over Alika's loyalty, mostly because he would much rather shove a knife into your back before you would ever have the chance at sticking into his own, or into the backs of his friends.
Fly too close to the sun, and don't be surprised if a particularly nasty rumor ends up going around.

L e v i a t h a n
A firey and bright soul like himself, Levithan was always a pleasure to be around. With her, there never really seemed to be a dull moment that he and the others had. That being said, these two together often got themselves into hot water with their little adventures. Without Laurel and Thais, he isn't really sure what would be of the two of them, to be honest.

L a u r e l
In comparison to him, Laurel was often the calm of the storm that he was grateful was around. His advice always seemed to come from a place of concern, and with him and Leviathan, it was well deserved. Regardless, the few moments of peace that the group ever had were because of him, and they are still some of Alika's most precious memories.

T h a i s
One of his oldest and closest friends, Thais always seemed to be glued to his side for some God-forsaken reason. Still, he never minded the company, rather having that than the ever-bearing loneliness when he was on his own. Despite it all, he never minded her odd habits through the years, and even now, he still knows them like the back of his hand.

As the seasons came to pass, a child born of flesh and clay carried itself through the haze of summer heat. Wedged for particular expectations of their role, Thais was brought to life through the power of Hephaestus and the lovers that could not bear their own fruit.
From the moment her eyes opened and she could handle clay, the role of her life had already been set out for her.
With rough beginnings, the moment she proved to be skilled in her trade, she was brought forward to follow in the family name,
and then to join the monastery to prevent the tainting that humans brought.

Still, nothing can keep the curiosity of a child at bay, and it was not long before Thais was off with Alika and her friends to try and explore the world and joys around them.
These happy summers could not always be, and soon she found herself within the pristine walls of a small monastery that her parents had placed her in to correct her defiance.
Luckily, once given the option of an education for her craft, despite the fear she held, she jumped at the chance.

P E R S O N A L I T Y

Skittish, demure, diplomatic
these are all traits that Thais embodies.
Raised to be a perfectly poised and precise lady, Thais understands the impact and weight of each of her actions. Because of this, she never tends to stray too far into the spotlight, much rather enjoying the comfort that the shadows have.

Feeling comfort in the familiar walls of the art room, Thais almost always is in deep concentration in her work at any time of the day, often requiring sustenance from Alika's late-night snack runs. S
There is a secret deep-rooted wish she has to be able to leave those walls to travel and see the world for what it is.

To create new art.
Nevertheless, she knows that it is not possible. With a path leading straight to the Temple of Hephestus after graduation, all she can do is take advantage of these upcoming years.

A B I L I T I E S
Can bring partial life to her clay creations for a certain
amount of time
Carries the blessing of creation and design
Strong affinity for the flames of the forge
Incredibly adroit and quick to think on her feet
High endurance and stamina


L I M I T S
Every full moon, her body will fully convert into Parian marble
The smell of Frankincense and Myrrh is more than
enough to throw her into an anxiety attack

Has very little knowledge on how to hone her ability in anything
excluding sculpting
Quite physically weak for a demigod due to her sheltered nature
Using her abilities more and more often, or incredibly large pieces,
without breaks, will drain all her mana and stamina.

Is there any idea of when this will be started? I should have Thais done in the next two days, so I'm just excited! ^^
 
I honestly didn't even think you guys were still interested in this and that honestly makes my heart happy.

Unfortunately, we might've lost @marici but I am still on board, just have to get my characters up and running!
