Seraphine Stitches Seraph


Gender: genderfluid ◞ he/she

Age: 23

Species: Changeling

Appearance:

shifted form

When disguised as his shifted form, he gains both a Kirin horn and a tail. His coat is a deep blue hue , and his mane extends far past his neck with a teal gradient dyed beneath the outer layer of his hair, with this same dye style along the insides of his tail. Despite this stark change, he cannot shift away his wings, and so he either tucks them into his shirt or claims they're just an incredibly realistic costume. He wears a pale shirt with a ruffled collar.

true form

His true form is disheveled and slovenly. His slick coat becomes oily and rough, hairs sharp. He bears a tired gaze and oftentimes a pout. His colors lean more teal, with holes through his legs, tail, and an entirely broken horn. His hair is short and frazzled, the sides patchy with bald spots. Now, he wears no ruffled collar shirt, nor does he hide his wings.

Personality:

ESFP | 4w3 | Chaotic Good | Narcissistic Personality Disorder

When not in his true form, Seraph is self-absorbed and narcissistic, often staring into mirrors and touching up his appearance. His true form, though, is more insecure. When using his true form, he shies away from mirrors and reflections, and oftentimes wears large baggy clothes and masks so people don't see what he looks like. He becomes more reserved and quiet, rather than the pompous loudmouth he is in his other form.

Backstory:

"You were born a Changeling, and you will always be one."

Those words were spat day and night throughout Seraph's life. How he'd flip through smuggled books, wishing he could shift into some other sort of being. But unlike nearly all the changelings, his abilities were incredibly stunted in growth. He could barely shift properly. He tried unicorns, pegasi, and even earth ponies - he couldn't do any.

He'd become inspired by his friend, Veiled Northstar, to practice shifting into a kirin. Surprisingly, this was the only race he was able to shift into. The only problem was that he could not properly conceal his changeling wings... he had to find a way to figure out how to explain that, as kirin don't have wings, do they?

He vanished one night, dashing out of the place he once believed to be his "home" - now running towards somewhere, anywhere. Possibly Equestria... or Canterlot. Whichever place he'd find first. After days of journeying through forests, small towns, and hills, he arrived at Manehattan, dazzled by the haute couture, towering buildings, and bustling boutiques.

It swiftly became an interest of his to delve into fashion history and fashion as an art form. Learning of the ponies' beauty standards, he tweaked his appearance until he became what was deemed as the most striking. Judging from magazines, fashion shows, and models, he learned that changelings aren't... and were never deemed attractive or beautiful, leading him to resent his true self.

Any Interesting Facts:

𓏵 He likes scrapbooking using fabrics. He uses his journal as a log for pretty fabrics he subtly steals from other people's clothing.
𓏵 He likes collecting perfume bottles. Bonus points if the glasswork is nice.
𓏵 Hates the phrase "be yourself"

I. All Pokeheroes rules apply. There will be no loopholes to this rule, and no exceptions.
──────── i. This includes the prohibition of swearing, NSFW (not safe for work) content, and spamming. Outside of character conflicts, treat all users with respect.
──────── ii. Rule 3.2 states that your response in a forum must be related to the topic. If you are not signed up as a member of the roleplay, you are not permitted to post in the forum and your post will be ignored. If you want something, please contact one of the members so that they may forward your concerns to our valiant [messenger] Purple_Guy.

II. Your characters must be balanced. No God-Modding whatsoever.
──────── i. You may not give characters godlike or overpowered weapons, powers, or abilities.
── a. If your character is to have a magical ability, weapon, or power, make sure that it has its limits.
──────── ii. Your characters may not alter the plot without prior discussion. Any alterations made to the plot without any agreement on will be disregarded.
──────── iii. Causing the death of another roleplayer's character without prior discussion and agreement will be disregarded.

III. Absolutely no bunnying. Bunnying is defined as taking control of another roleplayer's character without their consent, or controlling the character to make the storyline go in one's own way.

IV. Romance between characters is allowed, but if you are planning a romance with another roleplayer's character, it must be agreed upon by both parties. In the slots, you will see which roleplayers have strictly stated that their characters are off limits for romance.

The Beacon: Alstroemeria is a DnD-style roleplay that uses a 20-sided die (or a random number generator, in our case) to decide the success of any drastic actions made in the roleplay. The mechanic is: the higher number that is rolled, the better the outcome. The lower number, the worse the outcome.

The rolls, environment, and opponents are generally decided by our valiant [messenger] slash Dungeon Master Purple_Guy, who will facilitate most (if not all) of the events leading up to the ending.

feel free to delete the placeholder text and the text within the parentheses :)

We don't have that many slots available, as our campaign's members have a maximum of 11 (including the dungeon master). This may be edited and adjusted if ever someone chooses to leave the campaign, or if someone joins.

UPD as of July 24: People who have pre-reserved their slots before the roleplay was created (Spiderrs, TheCartoonist, and overmyne202) will have until July 26 12:00 PM server time to complete and submit their forms. If they do not submit by this time, their slot will be cleared for other people to reserve/post their form. The people mentioned can also post their forms if a slot is still open! Them being cleared doesn't mean that they cannot post after, too. I'm aware all of you have your own lives, so please just let me know if you want an extension :d.
