riftyn kells tell me reality is better than a dream. general info
appearance Slenderly built, Riftyn is not an overly muscular man with a pleasant height of 5’7”, a tad short for average, but enough to satisfy. As one with the preference for a slimmer, less muscular build, Riftyn has limbs considered graceful and willowy. They are delicate, but their skinnier nature has always brought an allure in Riftyn’s eyes. Across his flesh is a fair complexion that often turns pale in the winter. A love of summer has allowed Riftyn to gain a fair complexion in summer, his adoring of stylish shorts and longer-sleeved tops frequently causing odd tan lines. This being said, Riftyn puts effort into evening out his tan by spending time outside in short-sleeved shirts. His hands are slender, with well-tamed nails and maintained skin. His nails are often plain-painted, either with a single colour or a nice lacquer to keep their strength. On rare occasions, Riftyn will put effort into doing designs, usually in response to incredible works of art done by online nail artists. Striking from the ridged angles and dark hair are a pair of brilliant golden eyes. In moments of happiness or light, they sparkle, bringing attention to them. High cheekbones grace Riftyn’s cheeks, with pleasantly filled and plump cheeks to maintain a rounder face. Staving off the complete roundness, Riftyn has a graceful sharp chin with a minor curve to it. This has caused his facial structure to create more of an almond shape. The hairstyle decided by Riftyn was something proposed over days until finally managed to discover something favoured. The offset locks with one side shorter, being narrowly below the top of his ears, to longer on the other that reaches chin length. His favoured part of the style is the straightness and sideswept bangs. His hair is a dark blue with faint hints of green, bringing a more dark teal. Style is something Riftyn has always discovered himself excited about. He adores fashion and trying new styles. He especially loves high-rise shorts with a tucked-in long-sleeved shirt. Other styles he enjoys male blouses and occasionally a cardigan or blazer, if styled to his liking. Frequently, Riftyn will wear turtleneck sweaters, adoring the varying styles of the high-necked sweater. Additionally, he loves dress shirts, in proper situations and oftentimes paired with a nice pair of dark-coloured jeans. Otherwise, Riftyn adores simplistic casual to semi-formal styles, nothing with excessively tightness. At all times, Riftyn does wear an earring from a single ear. This is a specialized charm that assists with his negative effects from generosity. personality
abilities Sand Manipulation -- Beginner The ability to move and control sand, allowing the person to effectively use it. He never once used the ability, having no reason for a majority of the time. As a result, Riftyn has still failed to learn his sand manipulation. If he tried, he would become drained quickly and not be able to accomplish anything impressive. Teleportation -- Advanced The ability to teleport to another location, allowing the user to travel faster. To soothe his anxieties, Riftyn had learned his teleportation as a quick escape. With everything that happened, he wanted a failsafe to assure his safety and comfort. As a result, Riftyn is capable with his teleportation, either being able to teleport a set distance or to a place with a proper envisionment in mind. The further Riftyn teleports, the more energy that is consumed from it, making him more tired. This can occasionally result in him fainting if the distance is too far. Teleporting with other people can additionally make Riftyn extremely tired and cause him to require rest. Flight -- Intermediate The ability to fly without the usage of wings. Never used as full flight, Riftyn has mostly used his flight as a minor levitation. Regularly, this is merely used to reach things from high shelves safely or assist him up higher walls. Rarely will Riftyn fly any higher than 5’ off the ground, any higher frequently makes him tired. Should Riftyn attempt to use his flight fully, it would easily begin to exhaust him as a result. At most, he can fly for 15 minutes at a time due to being used to using the ability in short bursts. Desire Reading -- Advanced The ability to view one's desires. While never used for the purpose of gathering greed for his sustenance, Riftyn adores being capable of reading the desires of others. Frequently, he uses the ability to read other’s desires for the purpose of providing gifts. Whenever the young man forms a crucial friendship, he uses his desire to read in hopes of surprising his friends on birthdays or holidays, thus he has become skillful at it. This being said, this is not always the most effective ability for gathering intel. The extreme desires in the moment can infiltrate and this can be from lust to action-based wishes. Thus, at times, his usage of the ability can unveil less than savoury facts to disturb the young man. Greed Inducement -- Beginner The ability to induce greed in other people. Despite Riftyn’s requirement to feed on greed, he finds it morally wrong to induce one’s greed. Regularly, Riftyn uses a charm in order to avoid having to feed as often, this being said, it makes the energy for his abilities less effective. If he is in desperate need, Riftyn will occasionally have a meal in casinos or bars where gambling takes place. A single attempt to use this ability will result in exhaustion. backstory Trigger Warning: Gender Dysphoria & Transphobia The high-standing Marshall Family was composed of the single heir daughter, Lorraine Marshall, and her husband who accepted her name, Josiah Marshall. In their home city of Lorsette, Newfoundland, the Marshalls were renowned for their excellency and social status. They operated a large dairy business and shipped milk throughout the city, raking in funds through the days with their marketing success. A company passed down through generations inevitably brought about the question of their heir. The thought began the attempts to conceive a child, and eventually, the success brought about the conception of a baby within Lorraine’s womb. Birthed during the transition on leaves and beginnings of cold was the child born originally as Mary Marshall. A gender assigned based on physical components never once gave thought to future aspirations and comforts. While assigned at birth, it would be something that never sat right. In her youth, Mary always knew there was something off about her. A single, longing gaze in a reflective surface brought about unspeakable discomfort and confusion. Witnessing herself bundled in frilly dresses with bright colours and blooming lace never felt right. Explaining the feelings stirring inside the young child was impossible, the entire experience given the moniker of weird at the time. As expected of the young Marshall girls, Mary was scheduled to play with the young, high-standing girls belonging to her mother’s dearest friends. Tea parties and dolls conquered those days alongside the exhibiting of recent garments and flourishing accessories. The conversations summoned those awkward emotions within the Marshall child as she listened to plastic friends chatter about girly values. From praising the recent additions to princess rosters, admiring their costumes and various other regular feminine ideals, Mary always found herself an outsider. While she enjoyed small portions of the culture, from minor fashion admirings to the childish nail polish kits, everything failed to calm the confusing emotions inside of her. These minor differences always resulted in a struggle to create long-term friendships. The confusion stirred within the young child made it near-impossible for Mary to create long-term connections with the young girls. From their questionable attitudes to their endless insistences and pressures created by their feminine beliefs. Narrowly, she avoided them, her mother warranting the young child to spend time elsewhere, oftentimes with family for a proper excuse. She always appreciated her mother’s willingness to grant her leave. Thus, in her youth she spent hours with her family and outside of that, with her mother, rather than manifesting platonic connections. However, salvation arrived in the form of a young boy she met in high school by the name of Myrin Davey. The young boy became Mary’s closest friend and she would spend endless amounts of time with her closest friend. She cared about him and found plenty of comfort being around him through their days. Around this time, Mary was the age of 8, young and still confused about the stirring emotions within her. Gradually, the child grew, entering puberty and only feeling her discomfort grow immensely. A simple gaze in the mirror summoned a disgusting anger inside the young child. She hated the traits of the feminine body, every single one. From the gross hourglass shape, the breasts endowed to her and everything below the belt. She desired to remove everything that bound her to her girly body. At times, remembering her mortal body made her depressed or anxious and self-conscious in social situations. She felt uncomfortable in her skin, as though condemned to a hellish prison, as though the person in the mirror was not herself. Everything about it felt wrong and disturbing, each gaze bringing a quick wayward glance, disgusted by the shape of her body. The inner conflict made Mary feel sick at times or a lack of motivation to carry on with the days ahead of her. She never felt like herself whenever she gazed into the mirror or down the length of her flesh. The struggle of these emotions prompted the requirement to discover what sank her into the depths of this hole. A child unable to place words to her feelings to even express them to her parents or dear friend, Myrin, turned to google. She searched for hours, her brain attempting to grasp articles after articles, understanding the words associated with what she believed stirred these negative emotions. It incited the wishes, the realizations and everything in between to understand everything happening to him. The conflicts between his assigned gender and gender identity came to light with surface level research, how his body never sat correctly with him. The notion of a masculine form summoned ideals of confidence and happiness never thought before by young Mary. He began experimenting, altering clothes in temporary ways to visualize the image, indulging himself with time alongside Myrin and understanding the gender role he felt comfortable with. Those lost feelings dissipated with Mary’s self-investigation, as though he discovered the map that would grant him freedom from the bounds present throughout his life. Information gathered and confirmed alongside comfort with the concept, Mary approached his mother about the circumstance of their gender identity. He explained everything in detail, wishing to bring about understanding and, hopefully, the opportunity to begin treatment. He thought his mother would comprehend his circumstances and support him. It was his kindly mother, she would undoubtedly accept her son entirely for the emotions stirring and the dysphoria rising inside of him. Instead, he received a question he never expected to hear leave his mother’s lips in a cold tone. “What’s your name?” Confused, the young teen answered the question, brows drawing up as he became perplexed by the relevance... until his mother condemned him... She cruelly stated how “Mary” was a female name, therefore, he was not a young man, but rather, a young girl. The sentence hurt the young man trapped in a body that felt foriegn and distressing to him, however, as a child he was clueless about what to say. Quietly, he smiled and nodded before retreating back to his room, upset over how everything went. No matter how he brought it up, his mother argued against it, referring to it as silly and idiotic, even going lengths to force him into dresses and clothing that emphasized the traits he despised. He was miserable living beneath his mother’s tyranny and being reminded every day about the cruel assigned gender provided to him. The only escape he received was visiting his closest friend, Myrin... Thus when everything weighed on him, when the emotions grew too much and he felt as though his map to happiness was ripped up, he went to Myrin... It would be during one of his visits when he would abruptly break down from the stress, the depression, the anxiety, the discomfort and the dysphoria suffocating him at every second... Thus he began sobbing incoherently, his words meshing together as he refused the moniker given to him by his parents. He struggled to calm himself, the young man hysterical from everything happening and the denial from his mother. Ultimately, Myrin became the person he confided in, the first one who supported his wishes and accepted it as natural. That began the young man clinging to his closest friend, rarely leaving his side. Around him, everything was quiet and respected, given the sensitive nature it required. While everything around his mother was abhorrent, Myrin provided the crucial support he needed to stay strong under the weathering of his mother’s cruelty. For months, he accepted Myrin’s support, flourishing beneath it. After a difficult day, he would always text him, temporarily operating under the moniker Mark. He knew the name would not be permanently affixed to him, but was a significant improvement to the condemnation given by the name Mary. Each word gave him strength, his mind eventually venturing to thoughts of his father and wondering if he would be the same. It was obvious his mother never informed him of their conversation, his dad treating him the same. Pressure suffocated him, the young man praying his father would be different, alas, he was terrified to enter the circumstance alone. The memories of his mother’s cruelty frightened him... Unable to bring it up alone, the young man asked his friend to accompany him, hoping Myrin’s presence would give him the courage to say everything occurring within him. With a defense against the anxiety alongside a bringer of emotional support, he finally approached his father about it. Naturally, his father thought the conversation would venture elsewhere, but the reality his son slowly stepped to was unexpected. After giving the explanation, a scared young man clung to his friend, terrified he would be greeted with the harshness his mother gave... only to discover support from a parental figure he desperately needed. The arms around him as his father asked questions about how his mother handled the situation made the young man tear up. Finally, it felt like one of his parents believed him and cared about him. Over the course of days, plenty changed after Mark informed his father about everything. His father, Josiah, filed for divorce against the Marshall’s daughter, taking Mark with him to move out into his grandparent’s house. The move was a welcomed change of pace as the pair moved into a pleasant gated community away from his mother. While his father had plenty of money, his decision was birthed out of wishing to get his son out of the abusive household as quickly as possible and into some necessary therapy. Settling assisted in soothing any of Mark’s anxieties about the circumstance, allowing him to settle and grow adjusted to the pronouns and gender role he desired. Alas, nothing would be concrete until Mark received assistance for the dysphoria that held a strangle hold around him. There were a few changes of therapists until finally, Mark discovered one that clicked and assisted him with those haunting emotions. Navigating the map became easier with a professional at his side, someone who could smoothly explain the emotions and feelings boiling inside him and assist him in understanding them. In the end, it only made Mark’s feelings more concrete as he confirmed his gender dysphoria and wishes to transition genders entirely. Thus, hormone therapy began, and the first steps were greeted with excitement and happiness for the young man. While he grew anxious people would question him or discriminate against him, he kept himself stable with exposure to his friend, Myrin. Over those days, he began feeling something more for the man he confided everything to, those feelings slowly growing stronger, but unvoiced. Through those weeks, other arrangements were being made, from changing his surname to his father’s previous, Kells and another change he wished for. Mark was never designed to be a permanent name, rather, some quickly thought of a twist on the name “Mary” to avoid distressing him further. He always desired further distance from his birth name, thus he began researching, looking through names, getting opinions until finally, he discovered the moniker he felt most comfortable with. Riftyn became the man’s desired name, a big smile spreading over his lips whenever he spoke it to himself. A quick visit to the proper authorities, and his name was officially changed to Riftyn Kells. While it made his intentions more evident, Riftyn was proud of the name granted to him despite it being a noticeable change to anybody who knew him. Fortunately, he managed to stave off the twisted comments and fixate on one person, Myrin. The emotions Riftyn felt for Myrin grew stronger the longer he spent time with his childhood friend and the person who supported him from the start. It influenced the young man to attempt to express his emotions and ultimately, confess his crush. He remembered the nervousness hanging in the air. Acceptance would never become a worry, however, denial remained a concern, but the confession gave him everything he ever dreamed. At the age of 16, Riftyn found himself in a relationship that gave him strength and love. Becoming Myrin’s boyfriend was among his happiest memories from his youth. The turning point of Riftyn’s life allowed for plenty of changes for the young man to fancy. From a boyfriend who loved him, a supportive family surrounding him and his desires finally taken seriously, everything was better. While the torturous actions and words of the past could never be erased fully, there were improvements in Riftyn’s life to help drive him forward into a state of bliss and serenity. Naturally, with the steady foundation laid, there was room for further improvements in Riftyn’s life. Upon graduation, he moved out with his boyfriend, landing a job at the Lorsette Public Library. Additionally in this year, after plenty of thoughts and reports received, that on his 18th birthday his father and grandparents would give him the gift that changed plenty for Riftyn. The opportunity to start the transformation and remove the breasts that haunted him and made it difficult to gaze at himself in the mirror. He remembered how he cried in happiness, unable to believe the reality being served to him. It would be months later that Riftyn would undergo the first surgery and weeks later he recovered from the surgery. Comfortably, Riftyn has lived with his boyfriend for over a year and appreciates the support given by those around him. Everything shifted into a positive place, Riftyn gradually being freed of the prison he was condemned to for ages. misc Likes: Peaches, painting nails, reading, writing, earl grey, iced tea (nestea), rock candy, summer, comfortable clothing, earrings, video games, oversized sweaters, warm blankets, doodling, bubblegum, fashion, decorative soaps, glow-in-the-dark stickers Dislikes: Intense make-up, extremely spicy food, messy foods, strong perfumes/colognes, ridiculous story romances, jawbreakers, overly tight clothing, waking up early, alcohol, vinegar, sharp smells, mashed potatoes Fears: Being exposed as trans/people’s reactions, spiders, large dogs, intense horror movies - Riftyn is near-sighted, meaning he requires glasses or contacts.
