[edit] BASIC INFORMATION PERSONALITY PREFERENCES RELATIONSHIPS OOC Error creating thumbnail: File missing  Larry Bearry "An egg a day keeps the muscles okay!" The "new guy"... in a lot of ways. Gender Male Race Lalafell (Half Dunesfolk/Half Plainsfolk) Clan Plainsfolk Citizenship Gridania Age 23 Nameday 21st Sun of the 6th Umbral Moon Sexuality Uncertain Status Single Occupation Newbie adventurer. Chocobo breeder, caretaker, and lover. Carpenter and Botanist in off time. Deity None PERSONAL Current Location: Traveling Name Pronunciation: La-ree beh-ar-ee in Lalafellin. Lair-ee "Berry" in Eorzean. Birthplace: Old Gridania, near the Botanists' guild. Residence: With his mother for now, on their small Chocobo farm in the Central Shroud-- tends to travel due to adventurer tasks. Languages: Eorzean, Lalafellin Vices: Gluttony, Pride Virtues: Kindness, Diligence Alignment: Chaotic Good PHYSICAL APPEARANCE Height: 3 fulms 4 ilms Weight: 56 ponze Skin Tone: Dark Hair: Dark blue upstyle with a periwinkle section at the top and back. Eye Color: Canary yellow VOICE On the deeper side of the vocal range with a consistent warm tone and disarming tenderness. The pitch seems smooth, as though it can't be easily shifted by emotions. All laughter and chuckles come up from his belly. Rarely sounds sad or angry even when feeling as such. EXTRA FACTS Prefers to be called Bearry and will normally introduce himself by that name alone. Is fiery about the top of his head being messed with or otherwise touched. On that note, touching the side of his head by an ear is a welcome affection. Wiggles ears a little if he is feeling great interest, shame, or embarrassment. Considered tall for his race. Sees above most of the Lalafell in his homeland. Brushes fingers once through the ends of his upcut when tense or preparing himself mentally. Babycakes, his Chocobo, tends to show irritation with his affection; sometimes to the point of pecking him or other inconveniences. But Bearry adores her regardless and isn't afraid of showing it. Did I mention he likes to look at himself in reflections? TEMPERAMENT Bearry is generally relaxed and often proves it's easy to make him smile-- but whether that's from genuine happiness or nerves can change depending on the situation. He seems jolly enough, usually 'scratching' his urge to be mischievous even at the expense of somefolk's comfort; sparing that no actual harm comes to them as a result. Despite his impish desires he wouldn't intentionally put an innocent being in any real danger, much less stand idly by if a threat to somefolk's safety made itself known. Being an ignorant go-getter ready for adventure and new experiences, he's easy to get along with, and even easier to catch off-guard. The personality he shows when dealing with situations he feels out of control in can be surprising and awkward compared to his typical confident nature. A restricted lifestyle and culture during his youth has shaped Bearry with a simple mind that's not quite expanded enough for his age, however he's slowly working on that. "One day at a time", as he sometimes states. STRENGTHS ■ GOOD-NATURED: Tends to be respectful towards others, save for his pranking tendencies. He is unwilling towards anything hurtful or evil, instead choosing to help others if it's within his ability to. Unfriendliness frustrates him but he's polite about rarely showing this fact. ■ PASSIONATE: This part of his character makes him ambitious and idealistic, but thoughtful. He is prone to making friends easily because of this, having had plenty of amicable relationships in his homeland. Likely to give gifts to those he feels close to, even if it's the bitter food he cooks. On the lowkey side, his passion causes him to be romantic and caring. Not that he'd ever admit that! ■ BRAVE: Proficient at putting his fears in the back of his mind long enough to act more often than not, including intense situations. Although he struggles with plenty of anxious moments he tries not to let those stand in the way of doing what he feels he needs to. This helps him speak his mind and show fortitude despite stress. ■ GREEN THUMB: Plants like him a lot, therefore his penchant for gardening produces encouraging results. He loves everything horticulture. This directly relates with Plainsfolk origins being what he's native to. ■ OPEN-MINDED: He's not the brightest color in the palette but that says nothing for how far this Lalafell's curiosity will go. The accepting attitude towards new information results in him being rather quick to learn, especially if he's interested in the subject or the person teaching. FLAWS ■ SELF-SERVING: A little different from being selfish in that Bearry won't turn his nose up to those in need, although he serves himself above all else. If he has the option of doing something he wants, most of the time he will go for it- while first considering that his actions won't cause direct harm to anyfolk. This doesn't include annoyance however. ■ AUDITORY PROCESSING: Has variable difficulty handling loud or interruptive noises. Easily distracted by sounds others may not acknowledge. Doesn't quickly process spoken words. Ex : "Hey Bearry, could you pass me that green cup on the table?" "Pardon, what?" "The green cup, can y-" "Oh yes sure!" ■ SOMEWHAT STUPID: He has his wits on familiar subjects, but he wouldn't hold a candle to the knowledge of the wider world he's only now adjusting to. Common sense is not so common for him. He is easily fooled. Eorzean traditions and other cultures are still unfamiliar. ■ RECKLESS: Frequently doesn't think before acting or speaking so he is liable to accidentally creating unfortunate situations for himself and others around him. Has endured personal injuries quite a few times due to this behavior but still appears slow to learn from it. ■ SCARED STIFF: During uncommon circumstances where his bravery fails him, he can become frozen with fear and will have a difficult time recovering his survival instinct on his own when this happens.
