 ruven snow i'd like to think i'm plenty but i'm not general info
appearance Ruven is an intimidating figure, standing at 6'3", and with the wingspan to match - literally. Part of Ruven's gift is his wings, which vary in color depending on his mood, from a snowy white when he's feeling okay, to a murky brindled brown when he's down. His hair is the same brown, and the style is usually tousled, wind-blown and messy, and it looks as if it'd benefit from a good brushing. Ruven is all sharp angles; he's on the scrawny side, which only emphasizes this feature. His eyes are a striking cherry red, which can be intimidating if it isn't expected. His style of dress is usually casual; a lot of jeans and t-shirts, though when his wings pop out, said t-shirts always get shredded. It's unfortunate and drives up his clothing bill, but what are you gonna do? personality
To strangers, he is Ruven: sharp-eyed, cold Ruven, standoffish and rude. To friends, he is Rue: endearingly awkward, strained in social situations but trying his best anyway. In truth, Ruven doesn't know how to talk to people. He always manages to say the wrong thing, to mess everything up straight out of the gate. It makes people uncomfortable, so most of the time, he doesn't try. He doesn't try to make jokes that make people laugh or be more personable. It's hard. That isn't to say he's rude, though; that's a common misconception. He can say rude things without intending to, but the intent behind it isn't malicious in any way. He rarely reveals when he's hurting, and doesn't speak much unless strictly required to - or worse, manners require it. Ruven tries his best to be polite when he can. abilities SIREN SONG (beginner): Ruven has the ability to enchant and ensnare his audience with his voice if he so chooses. What this does to people is that it draws them in and distracts them so that their attention is completely on him. This allows other people to do what they will to the victims who fall under his spell. However, this can easily be blocked if someone cannot hear him, and this siren song takes his entire focus. He cannot do anything else when singing, and he cannot get people to do something other than focus on him; i.e., he cannot suggest for someone to attack another person. He does not have good control over this power, and he refuses to even sing along to songs on the radio for fear that he will activate it. This ability can only go for around ten minutes before he is forced to stop. Going on any longer can make him pass out or damage his vocal cords. WING MANIPULATION/MOOD WINGS (advanced/passive): Ruven's pair of wings are always visible, but he can summon two other sets of wings, to a total of six. This allows him to fly faster, and have more control in the air, but it draws a lot of energy to keep these wings in existence. As a result, he can only keep these wings in existence for an hour or so before he must let them go and rest, as well as eat. Another fun little function his wings serve is that of a mood indicator. If Ruven's wings are a snowy white, he is in good health and he is in a good or reasonable mood. If they are a brindled brown, this is indicative of poor health or a bad mood. backstory Ruven's family was... controlling. He was born with little fledgling wings, which made his parents, two fellow winged Gifteds, extremely proud. They'd boast that Ruven would be the fastest flier, the highest flier; there were expectations set in place before he could even walk. His parents weren't cruel, not intentionally, but the pressure they placed on Ruven to be the absolute best made growing up awkward. He walked on eggshells around them, and had to get the best grades. He was unable to go out with friends much, and thus had trouble making them. When he didn't live up to expectations, he was met with stony silence, which was almost worse than being scolded for being subpar. His abilities were treated as something incredibly special, another layer of expectation placed on him. His first experiment with his siren song was with his father; Ruven was scared of it, however, and swore to never use it again. He still hasn't used it, his fear being too strong to trust himself. His parents were disappointed at this, and again, this proved to be worse than an actual verbal lashing. To this day, he believes himself too weak to properly control his power. The wings, however, were a form of escape to Ruven as soon as he learned to fly. He loved the freedom of sky, away from conflict and control, and still does. He went to college, but quickly discovered that it wasn't for him. After his freshman year, he dropped out and got a job as a barista to help make ends meet. So it has been for years, living in a comfortable stupor of same old, same old. misc
