DESIGN

PHYSICAL

Very Tall | Hair Colour | Eye Colour | Skin Colour

Tall and lanky like a teen boy whose growth spurt hit overnight
Arms are mostly thick from fur
Legs are spindly, like a newborn fawn he walks clumsily
He's got that dorky pubescent boyish look to him

CLOTHING

Baggy and Awkward

Awful with fashion, often chooses clashing colours and such
For that, he usually falls back on a comfy hoodie (usually his favourite hoodie)
Even his fashion sense is dorky to be honest

MANNERISMS

Subtly clumsy

Tends to have a nervous disposition when first meeting him, but not lacking in energy by any means.
He can just... go overboard with the process: shaking hands, asking too many questions to engage and so on
He's just awkward and sweet and clearly trying too hard in an endearing way
Has proven to have strength behind all his fumbling when it's really needed, for example when his best friend was missing during the Deelagun Attack. That saw to a wave of anger no one, not even his mum had seen from him before.

HEALTH

Good

Likely has anxiety
But overall he's pretty damn good physically and mentally for a teen

PERSONALITY

ALIGNMENT

Imaginative | Trusting | Strong-Willed | Helpful | Fair |

Responsible | Grateful | Timid | Insecure/Not very assertive | Exaggerates

Growing up in the Shindig Shack is going to make a wacky kid for sure. But instead of channelling it into wild antics, Onion channels it into creativity and story that he learns from Poppy. But he actually prefers it more quiet half the time so he can be found enjoying some alone time anywhere in the massive building while having his own adventures in his mind.

The point is he likes the idea of crazy shenanigans but he's timid when it comes to putting them into action. He's shyer than anyone else at the Shack. He has the mind for adventure he just needs the heart: all he needs is someone to tug (drag) him out into the world.

Then after that, he can open up and have fun. It's the initial jump he's not good at. But at the same time doesn't mind when things are slow and peaceful so he can get some writing done.
Summary: Peace on his own or chaos at someone's side

HOBBIES

Collects marbles
Making jam with his mum
Excessive analysis
Abstract painting (it calms him down)
Weightlift training

HABITS

Analysing situations
Messes with hair when nervous
Asking a lot of questions
Over apologising
Humming when focused
Rambles too quick for his tongue to keep up when excited

WEAKNESSES

Anxiety: can get too caught up in his own head overthinking/worrying
Bit of a cry baby, he feels his emotions to the fullest
Scared of Puckoos

LIKES

DISLIKES

Books and legends
Magic
Creatures
Stir fry
Brave heroes
Adventures even if he can't do them on his own
Painting and paint mixing
Brimbees

Really obnoxious and passive-aggressive gros
Being the centre of attention of a crowd
Puckoos scare him
Not knowing if his family is okay, that everything is okay

ABILITIES

EDUCATION

Basic stuff, average high schooler intelligence/education
However his problem solving and analytical ability is much higher

WATER

Basic

Dowsing | ADEPT | Water is a necessity, so this comes in handy a lot while travelling

Condense Water | INEPT | Requires focus inwardly and he has a very scattered train of thought

Water Breath | NOVICE | A fun trick, not a lot of practical use but gets a lot of practice entertaining Shallot

Manipulate Water | ADEPT | Keeps this practised in case he needs to put out Bex's fires and such

FIRE

Basic

Increase Body Temperature | NOVICE | He likes to be warm and offer his sweetheart warmth in turn) even if she can use this ability better than he can

Melt Materials | NOVICE | Only ever used in the kitchen really

Fire Manipulation | INEPT | Hasn't found much use for this ability, plus it freaks him out

Conjure Fire | NOVICE | Useful enough for lighting a fireplace or when wondering around but it doesn't get very big

RELATIONSHIPS

Song

Bex

Sweetheart [MIA]

Since their parents are friends, they've been close friends from the moment they hatched. They grew up together, their dreams and goals intertwined. Onion grew up adoring Bex, he made a vow to be whatever she wanted him to be. Not 'changing himself' for another but building himself up.

He loves her in the rawest form, if she wants that to be romantic then he's more than happy to mould that love in that way. It's been different, a lot more pressure on himself at first but it's also been great. He couldn't ask for a better gro to be his courage.

Poppy

Adoptive Mother

A lovely lady, every day Onion is grateful to Chii that his egg came into her hands. And statistic wise it boggles his mind to think about. He respects, admired and looks up to her for how unashamedly she is about who she is and what she enjoys doing.

Sometimes he feels like he's letting her down when she tries to teach him different art forms, by no fault of her own, it's his own thoughts getting to him. She's very gentle and understanding when she notices. Always so loving, always so affectionate: he gets this from her.

Branch

Father Figure

Admires and looks up to Mister Branch for his intelligence and insight into survival and the world in general.

He's the closest thing Onion has to a dad, but he doesn't call him as much because he doesn't feel like he's earned that right. Doesn't want to lay that on his shoulders when he didn't ask for Onion in his life. But he doesn't hold that against Branch in any way either, it's his own weight to carry if anything.

Brook

Adoptive Sister

Brook's got all the confidence and creativity Onion wishes he had, to be more like the kid of their parents than he is. So he's a little jealous, too busy focusing on what she has to see that she too has confidence issues.

Still, he never feels any of this or anything negative when in her presence, how could he when she's so sweet and lively? He wants to be the best big brother he can be for her, so he'll get stronger, do better, all those faulty thoughts are on him not her.

Autumn

Adoptive Sister

She hasn't been around long, and she's too busy being wrapped up in their parent's arms as they worry over her for him to get to spend any time with her.

Right now she's a major source of anxiety for him, seeing her all small, young and weak. Maybe it's best for them both that he gets to know her until she's older. Not for a lack of caring, not at all, he's just caring too much.

Pish

Adoptive Uncle

Uncle Pish is really weird, loud and occasionally dangerous. Being around him is like riding an Ori, could be smooth sailing, but if spooked or even for no reason at all the ride can get out of control. Not to mention all the bumps in the road making his heart rate increase.

But hey he's not a bad guy, just unpredictable. And Onion is more comfortable with some predictability, or at least being able to read him. And guess what, Pish is too all over the place to read. Still, can't forget he let them get away with a lot as kids and gave them sweets when no one was looking.

Posh

Adoptive Uncle

For whatever reason, Posh has a soft spot for him. But due to how he treated the others while Onion was growing up, he tends to avoid him on principle. He's dark and slinks around anyway so it's not hard. On the other hand, that behaviour has been the source of multiple near-heart attacks while Onion is going to bed late at night etc.

Still, he is an uncle that Poppy can get along with so damn it so can Onion. Plus he has to admire the guy's intelligence, he's been forthcoming in helping out Onion with his own researching... sometimes.

Socks

Adoptive Uncle

Well of course everyone likes Socks! Whenever the hustle and bustle of the house got to be too much for Onion, Socks was always there to shield him away in his fur with a hug, no questions asked.

Honestly, Socks has an air about him that never makes Onion stress about pleasing him or living up to expectations... or anything really. It's nice, for a time at least. Eventually, Onion then starts to worry he's not doing anything to improve and that's usually when he returns to Bex for that balance.

HISTORY

BACKSTORY

From egg to hatching

Onion's egg was among those snatched and stolen during the Carasol of Mischief a number of years ago.
Poppy, upon hearing about the disaster, went out to help search for them. She found his egg
She returned it to The Nook but Alma insisted she keep it, claiming their colours looked good together

CURRENT STORY

Hatching to present

Now Poppy is happily raising Onion from egg to happy kid who takes after her artistic side
But since he's on the shyer side of things and sometimes wants some quiet from The Shindig Shack, Poppy takes him to visit Branch at his cottage. The two are slowly warming up to each other in a calm scene Poppy can't quite understand but is glad
Back at The Shack he's made friends with Bex, Orion's (Pish's best bro) kid. Oh and Tooru too. The trio play around the place, getting tangled up in the grown-up's feet.
Eventually Poppy joins another magic class after all these years and Onion begs to come along. And as time goes by he starts to go through a major growth spurt.
He grows up into quite the tall and lanky teenager.

[Deelagun Attack 2018] - During the attack Onion feared for those he cared about, and after realising he didn't know if his best friend was okay his demeanour switched to that of a fierce fighter. Afterwards, his worry was solely focused on Bex.
When things get better he can't help but burst into tears at the gift she gives him.
And sometimes things just get weird
No worries though, there will always be his best friend to spend time with and he'll always be there for her when bad memories resurface.
And well, one thing leads to another and she confesses some feelings that he's happy to reciprocate

Just in time for fire class
Time goes by, enjoying their time together when those of Last Notch open up the town to the idea of travelling.
He and Bex take on some chores to gain resources and skills to travel. In the process, he finally finishes his water magic too.
Before they can leave he helps search for the bandits that have swept into town.

And then... he couldn't find Bex. It's been weeks, months, and he can't find her. Can't find her father or siblings either. He's not... handling it well.
