MANNERISMS
Bouncy and heavy
-
He is not light on his feet at all and doesn't know his own strength so he swings it around a lot
-
When he runs, it's a heavy bound that shakes the ground
-
Terrifying if he's charging in for a hug. Worth it for how his fur embraces you completely, it's very cosy and safe
-
Doesn't speak much, he compensates by being expressive and using body language. Nodding his head like a bobblehead for yes, and so on
-
Overall, not great spatial awareness or social awareness. Sarcasm and social cues generally go over his head
-
Treats anything the size of Runeboo and bigger like a fellow citizen, so he can only really handle Beebs and such pets
HEALTH
Good
-
Eats well and regularly
-
He's always running around and his hobbies are fairly laborious by nature too so he's well exercised
PERSONALITY
True Neutral
A Simple Open Book
Socks doesn't get involved with the complex politics or dramas of those around him. As a result, he doesn't take part in gossip or rumours so he treats everyone the same when he first meets them, no matter their reputation or what they look like etc. This also means he's typically straightforward which isn't always the best thing but he always means well.
​
Because he likes to keep things simple he doesn't have dark secrets or a lot of worries so he's happy to answer any questions others may have of him. These two traits combine to make a very what you see is what you get kind of fellow.
Sweet | Compassionate | Naive
If he sees a sad face Socks is instinctively drawn to trying to fix it with something silly or just letting others talk to him since he's a great listener (not to be confused with a good understander). He can do a lot for those that need him, he's not the best at advice but sometimes a simple direct answer is what others need. If someone is in pain and crying, it doesn't take long for him to cry too if his cheering up doesn't work.
​
Unfortunately, not everything can be fixed with Sock's way of seeing things, telling a joke won't always fix a frown when the pain goes deeper. He's very naive when it comes to that and situations like walking through the forest at night. This leads to him being easily taken advantage of, but as long as he doesn't end up severely hurt he's typically fine with any humiliation, tripping and falling etc that this can lead to.
Illogical | Contradictive
Sometimes it's like he's in his own world with its own rules. He's full of things that don't make sense. He loves to swim but doesn't like his fur being wet. In our world, he'd love calculators and numbers but hate math.
Habits
-
Sticking his tongue out (He likes the texture and likes feeling goofy for the kids)
-
Tackling people if they give any indication of allowing it.
-
Doing this when happy or nervous
-
Running into things, he doesn't have great spatial awareness
-
Giving hugs, no questions asked
WEAKNESSES
-
Typically a scaredy-cat, easily taken out by a simple jump scare
-
Anything to do with a modicum of intelligence or recall (he can problem solve)
-
Scared of Oris; no fur, awkward to hug and he heard they can kick you! Awful

ABILITIES
EDUCATION
Low - maybe even below average
-
Can read at a basic level.
-
Cannot do any calculations, and physics/sciences of any advanced level are like magic to him.
-
But he did technically complete schooling
WIND
BASIC
Enhanced Hearing | INEPT | He doesn't pay attention enough to his surroundings to use this often.
Speedy Movement | ADEPT | This ability comes instinctively to him, always using it when he runs, half the time it's unintentional
Wind Gusts | NOVICE | Super handy when he's just had a swim and wants to dry off as quickly as possible.
Manipulate Sound | NOVICE | Practices it occasionally when he's calling out excitedly or sometimes when he's been jump-scared he'll do it accidentally. Likes using it to entertain the kids with stories and such.
Merc
Wife
Of course, he loves her! Merc is always there for him, when everyone walks away because they're bored or uninterested, she's there. He never ever feels weird or out of place at her side, she's naturally welcoming and open. And she's so much fun too, and talented and nice and pretty and-
He could go on, and he has. Don't make the mistake of asking him about her unless you're ready for an excited puppy ramble.
Aoba
Son-in-Law [MIA]
Socks was initially really conflicted about this guy encroaching on his family but he gave in pretty quickly when he saw how happy he makes Bramble. After all, it's not less for him, but more for them. And he's been a good dad himself to Boba.
​
But Socks will... he will do... well he'll do something! If he hurts them! So watch out, you uh you pal.
Posh
Adoptive Brother
Posh is scary and is always in the dark so Socks doesn't seek him out much. But Posh does seem to like him which is surprising, even to Socks. And Socks likes surprises.
​
At the very least Posh seems to be a little less frowny around him, which is enough of a reason to smile when he's around.

HISTORY
BACKSTORY
From egg to hatching
-
???
CURRENT STORY
Hatching to present
-
First looked after as a Wyngling by an older Pish until he grew up along with Posh and Poppy
-
From there the four of them built their own home The Shindig Shack, with the help of Chester and Maple of course
-
Wild young teens plus their own place equals a whole bunch of parties
-
It's around this time that Socks fumbled into Bug Camp and took the lead of a little trio
-
After that taste of responsibility, he was kinda lonely without those kids around
-
So when a surprise duet broke out during a party and resulted in him and Merc getting thrown out, well Socks stuck to her side like glue.
-
Giving him the confidence and push to try out a wind magic class where he made a good friend in Julie.
-
Now spending his time in a much calmer setting than constant bonfires, he's found a good companion partnership in Merc. He likes her a lot and he's not afraid to tell near-strangers how happy she makes him.
-
Before he knew it they tumble and fell in love, literally and figuratively.
-
And now they're having an egg!
-
That little red egg hatched into a vibrant energetic little girl, Bramble, that grew up into quite the spirited one surrounded by all the gros of The Shack as well.
-
Not long after that the Deelagun attack hit, during which Socks focusing on distributing supplies and making sure Merc and Bramble were safe after locating them in the mess.
-
With the attack over Socks energy was put into lightening the mood as always, and appreciating those around him.
-
Now he's moved onto practising Water Magic because he loves the water! And boy does it help with what he's got planned.
-
Over some time he becomes a grandpappy! ​
-
Socks tries to visit the lady in the mountain (she sounded nice) but well it's not what he was expecting.
-
He does so twice (with consequences)
