tennessee state tell me reality is better than a dream. general info
appearance Despite his shorter height of 5’7”, Tennessee State, or Nes for short, has striking features that attracts the attention of others. The man’s entire body is an oily, black colour, from his skin complexion to the hair sprouting from his head. From his head branches a pair of horns, a spade-ended tail leaving his lower back. Otherwise, Nes’ traits are relatively average with willowy limbs and flat stomach. However, with Tennessee’s slenderness comes a stick-like appearance to his body. From his back, a pair of wings come from, regularly hidden beneath his clothing as to avoid further teasing. These wings are surprisingly large and can be used for flight if Nes wishes, however, cannot be manifested and removed at his will, making them permanent fixtures. There is a surprising grace and slenderness to Nes’ fingers and they lack callusing, though it is noted the “nails” of his fingers taper off into points. This makes them resemble claws opposed to proper finger nails. The edges of his toes sport a similar appearance to his fingernails. Scars or blemishes are not visible across Nes’ skin due to the manner his boogeyman traits manifested themself. Striking on Nes’ face are the features strewn onto his countenance. His eyes appear almost hollowed, instead replaced by a pair of completely white circles. There is no iris or pupil, merely white sclera operating as Nes’ optics. His mouth is decorated with a pair of longer canine teeth, however, otherwise is rather average, sporting a human-like tongue and a more flesh-coloured interior. Stationed high on Nes’ cheeks are a pair of well-defined cheekbones, of which can surprisingly redden during moments of embarrassment or flustering. His jawline is semi-strong, leading down to a softly curved point for a chin. From his head flows fluffy, if somewhat unruly, black hair that is thick and curly. Many would comment Nes’ hair as being soft to the touch and a pleasant experience across their fingers. Jutting out of his soft locks are a pair of hard, boney horns. They are a medium size, curving from his skull similar as one would expect a bull’s to appear. During public hours, Nes adores casual clothing! He loves loose-fitting clothes, specifically long-sleeved shirts and sweaters. He occasionally goes lengths to sport a turtleneck because of his love of sweaters. At times, he will step into a t-shirt, though rarely branches out to wear a tank top or muscle shirt unless it is for sleeping purposes. In terms of pants, Nes happily switches between jeans and sweatpants without much care. As long as he is comfortable, he will gladly wear it! During the warmer months, Nes will consider wearing shorts, but he always assures the cut is at the most, a little above his knees. He wears no jewelry, never being ones for the flashy stylings. Though, even during casual hours it is not uncommon to see Tennessee sporting a camera that lays by his stomach because of a secure, black strap. Occasionally, his eyes are framed by a pair of wire-framed reading glasses. These regularly have a red frame. When accomplishing work from his YouTube channel, Nes regularly decks himself out in the proper PPE equipment with some minor modifications. At all times, he will wear a respirator over his face, gloves and even specialized jackets with small slits for his wings. He wears thick protective pants and a specialized, cape-like covering to protect his wings when not in flight. A thick hood covers his face, with the helmet from his respirator beneath it. In addition, Nes wears a pair of water-proof steel-toed boots at all times. Depending on the area of exploration, certain aspects of his PPE may get added or exchanged. personality
abilities Dream Manipulation -- Advanced The ability to create and shape dreams, giving the user full control of the dream realm. Fortunate for Nes, he is among the few where his dream manipulation can only have mental ramifications at most. However, this being said the person Nes performs dream manipulation on can wake up at any time during the manipulation. Anybody severely injured just wakes up, however, minor injuries they can regularly stay in the dream realm. Though, regularly Tennessee ditches anything that could upset or make the other person fearful, leaving most people feeling safe. For years, he used his dreams to practice things like exploring and learning what to watch out for. At times, he will play on the more imaginative and make unique scenes that leave him wide-eyed and in awe.The later becoming more frequent with Nes procuring himself a boyfriend and lover in Justis. With this ability, Nes is capable of entering dreams, however, it is easier to enter the dreams of people he knows and who want him to enter their dreams. Illusion Manipulation -- Mastered The ability to create illusion, allowing the user to fool the five senses; sometimes less depending on skill. As a child, Nes was desperate to escape prosecution from his peers in regards to his looks. In desperate hope of avoiding the harsh words of those around him, Nes began heavily building his illusion manipulation. He hates the deceitful manner he uses it, however, as a desperate, young teen searching for acceptance at the time, he trained himself hard. Thus, Nes is proficient at making a disguise with his illusions. Reaching lengths of allowing Tennessee to make himself appear human rather than boogeyman. He can make him appear as though he has that light, peach skin, brown hair with matching eyes. Though prolonged usage of this ability for Nes causes exhaustion, the young man is unable to maintain it through a full 8 hours as much as he may try. Nowadays, Nes illusion manipulation is used for brief moments of relief. With his face growing popular over the internet, he uses it for a nice break. In addition, he has worked towards conjuring his illusions for more recreation uses. From putting on shows and entertaining those he cares about most. While Nes’ illusion manipulation is impressive, those with enhanced senses or clairvoyance can easily few through his manipulation; even those with a single scent enhancing seeing through it.

He is still learning to induce fear to ensure his safety, however, his fear inducement is passible. Alas, it takes a reasonable chunk of energy, Nes regularly attempting to sit down for a few minutes afterwards. Those with psychic shields can easily avoid his fear inducement and are immune. Furthermore, those with plenty of courage can easily fight through it. Naturals: Night Vision, Self Sustenance, Immortality backstory Trigger Warning: Bullying A single night of partying led to 19 year old Alicia State to make among her biggest mistakes. Intoxicated by alcohol after agreeing to attend an out-in-the-bog party, she met a man and they ended up in a bed together. He flirted his way through, charming her and even sticking around for a time before the news came about. She thought a single night of partying got her a worthwhile man, someone who would stick around with her as she worked towards getting the funds for a college education. Yet, as she grew sick in the mornings and she missed her period, a concern came about. A single test, a positive read and a future of what she thought would be a man sticking by her side through it all. She revealed the news to him, telling him she was pregnant with his child. Only mere hours later he left, broke up with her over text and never returned. Heartbroken, Alicia thought about getting rid of the child in her belly, even informing her parents. Though in the end, her fragile heart could not end the life of the baby she conceived. Over the months, Alicia discovered herself in a depressive state as her belly grew larger and larger. In time, she returned to her parents’ home, ill-prepared to handle the rapid changes in her life. Her mood was noted as horrible, many worrying about the future relationship between Alicia and her conceived son. As the months passed, there was little improvement to Alicia’s mood, however, she managed to smile occasionally. Yet, the worries existed as the child got closer to birth. Minor notes of fortune were discovered as the child was cultivated inside her belly. Her son was growing and exhibiting traits of being her species as the traits of her boogeyman form translated over. It was evident in the shaping of the child’s body, which brought some relief to the up and coming single mother and her parents. The young child would not appear like the despicable father who mercilessly abandoned her. On the afternoon of June day, Alicia’s child was born into the world. Perhaps pained from circumstance and sorry for herself, creativity was void. Her newborn required a name, and in her upset, Alicia uncreatively named her child Tennessee State. A name her son would come to despise over the years simply for its ridiculousness. When the time came for Alicia to take her precious, bouncing baby boy home, she was hesitant. Her worries swarmed her mind as her parents took the pair home. In the first weeks of Tennessee’s life, his grandparents mostly cared after the young infant. His mother was disheartened at the time, believing she ruined her life with having a child. Though, Tennessee’s grandparents prompted her involvement, showing her the developments of her young child. Gradually, his mother came around as her parents showed her the wonders of having a baby. Over time, Alicia stabilized herself, eventually moving into an apartment with her parents willingly playing the role of babysitter to her baby boy. Through the first years of his life, young Tennessee State learned the values of family. They were always familiar faces that coloured Tennessee's world. As he came about his toddler years, Tennessee was a happy child, adoring the opportunity to run about and play. He was filled with happiness, his laughter warming the hearts of his family members as he indulged in childhood fantasy. Though, the warning signs of a life led by judgement started in Tennessee’s toddler years. At times, his parents took him to the playground for his enjoyment, however, his traits, clear as day as a hell species, always repelled others. He was someone the other children considered scary, avoiding him or being led away by frightened parents. When he was young, he never understood the meaning behind those actions, but he would come to. The beginning of school brought about the misfortunes of which were inevitable. The first day of school brought about excitement in the young boogeyman’s eyes as his mother brought him. Entering through the heavy double-doors, Tennessee scurried inside the building and was promptly dropped off in his class. He remembered finding his desk, waiting with excitement with thoughts of friends and playmates. Though, the young boogeyman’s first taste of public school would inevitably leave him questioning himself and down the future he led. From the start, Tennessee became an outcast, the type nobody wanted to play with because of the way he looked. It had started with kids merely avoiding him, leaving the young boy to often play by his lonesome. Alas, as times of patterning came, Tennessee always found himself the last one without a partner, the teacher having to assign one every time. The traits Tennessee noticed summoned the belief of his peers merely requiring to know more about him. Sour tastes were absent as Tennessee worked hard on the projects revolving around introducing oneself to the class. He believed it was a method to gain friendship and closeness with his classmates. Certainly, they would begin displaying interest after knowing more about him! The young boogeyman was confident in his beliefs, already fantasizing about the upcoming connections to arrive. Yet, as he attempted to bring up similarities in enjoyed recreations, Tennessee discovered rejection from the individual. Surprise would paint the child’s countenance as he mumbled out an “O-oh… o-okay…” before wearing a plastic smile and walking away. Little did the young child know what fate beheld of him in the wild jungle of school. While his childhood was greeted with lonesomeness, there were pangs of hope as Tennessee attempted to create those connections. In middle school, cruelness would inevitably befall Tennessee, who had started his determination to go by the nickname Nes. Though, at this time the severe bullying began of the young boy. Constantly, he was shoved around and picked on for his odd appearance, his peers cruelly informing Tennessee he looked monstrous and scary. They shoved him in lockers, telling the small child “Nobody wants to see your ugly face!” or would discover himself bruised and cut during recess. Frequently, Nes would return to his classes dishevelled and bruised, however, every time he merely gave the excuse of clumsiness. The middle school torture phase cemented his place as an outcaster. As somebody unwanted and despised by his peers without a second thought. Age was a vulnerability, puberty arriving and Nes being his most sensitive to criticism. Every word and action deteriorated the delicate child, his upset growing as he withdrew from even attempting to create those well-needed connections. This led into high school years of hellish proportions. The bullying occurred without being reported or reprimanded, leading to things worsening for young Tennessee State. He was lonesome, shoved around, mocked, picked on and generally treated unfairly. He worked alone, refused to join clubs and did everything to avoid the torment suffocating him and swallowing him whole. Though at the time, Nes discovered distractions to keep his mind away from the toxic conditions of his school life. A boy with an explorer’s heart, Nes began venturing around Lorsette and at the time, unsafely exploring abandoned buildings at the time. He grew a love for it all, becoming someone to admire the beauty of what was left behind with memories of a time before abandonment. He took pictures with his phone, gleefully showing his mother, which prompted safety discussions and wishes for him to stop, less he faced consequences for his follies. Though, Nes craved the surroundings of abandoned locations and photography. At 15, Nes managed to land himself a part time job, diving his funds into his favoured hobby. He wanted to proceed with his ventures, but with the proper safety equipment. Temporarily, Tennessee fueled his adventurous spirit with YouTube videos, his eyes locked upon them for days. The stunning scapes of a deteriorating location fascinated him and he wanted to know more. As a good mother, Alicia noticed her son’s interests shifting into exploration and photography. She wanted to cultivate her son’s wishes while helping him understand the dangers of his exploration, and thus, she began working overtime. By Nes’ sixteenth birthday, with the investing of her parents as well, Nes had purchased a photography camera. Since the moment he unwrapped his present, his eyes sparkled with appreciation, the young man tearing up. The present arrived with new restrictions from his mother as she emphasized how Nes would need to wait until he was 18 and have the proper equipment until he accomplished anything particularly dangerous. Promptly the young man agreed, giving his mother a tight hug of appreciation. Though, the granting of a camera started the silent show of cultivating a community. He started a YouTube channel, acting as the silent camera man without a face as he showed everyone the wonders of nature. It would be the start to everything as he accomplished everything with subtitles and maintained a silent vigil. Though, with his 16th birthday arrived a worsening of the bullying. Teenagers could be cruel, and Nes being the loner in a way made him the prime target to relentless harassing. It entered points of bringing the young boy to tears he would cover up. He tried many things, such as masking his unique appearance with illusion manipulation, but the amount he was required to push himself made it inadequate, not to mention, he learned it accomplished little to protect him. Security and confidence at an all time low, Nes withdrew from engaging with his peers. He would bargain with teachers to accomplish group projects alone and began investing his time in discovering hiding places. The teen felt as though he had nobody, but himself because of the pressures being weighed onto him. Therefore, he crawled through his final year alone, skimming by and working to get into a college with a photography and videography class. Thus things shifted and he worked hard at his job as he prepared for college. His mother assisted with the funds for him to enter college with everything he needed. With school closing in, Tennessee was praying that he would escape the horrible bullying he underwent during his high school years, but he was wrong… A portion of his previous classmates were there, and Nes learned hastily they never matured from high school. The first year would be hell, being tripped, shoved and treated similar to living trash. Though, Tennessee was determined, knowing he required the education for the purpose of his future. He would endure, he needed to endure. Once everything was done, he would be free from the bullying trapping him. He pushed through the bullying, refusing the falter from his plan merely because of his horrible treatment. The young man pushed through his insecure state, bearing down through the constant criticism of his peers. He worked through the bruises, worked through the comments. Though, it only cemented Tennessee’s choices to avoid showing his face on his YouTube channel because he was uncomfortable with it. The idea of receiving prosecution from his fans and being abandoned frightened him, thus he stayed faceless and without a voice. Over time it would worsen, a single year proving there would be a worsening circumstance. Alas, in Nes' second year everything would climax. He remembered walking down the college steps, glancing over his camera. The strap broke, though, the camera fortunately surviving a minor fall. There would be no funds to replace it, therefore, Nes babysat the precious device with everything he could. Yet, as he began heading to the gates of the glorious, matured fence, a hand ripped the camera from his hands. The manner he was pushed to the ground while hearing their mockery, though, in Nes’ mind the state of his body hardly mattered... his camera was their hands. His pleading voice came quick and as they laughed and jeered, his heart ache. The camera was lifted, panic flashing in Tennessee’s eyes as an automatic “NO!” leaked from his lips, and as his hands went down, he teared up and closed his eyes... but the smash never came... When he opened his white hues, he discovered the man he would come to appreciate and care for. The hero, getting his camera back and additionally causing the bullies to leave him alone. Gasps of a choking sob leaked from his partially opened lips, tears dribbling from his cheeks as he pushed himself back onto his feet. Between sniffling and wiping his tears, Tennessee mumbled out a thank you as his camera was returned. Nobody else, other than his family accomplished those sweet favours. Thus appreciative and emotional, he embraced his precious camera after panicking over its well-being. From there, he learned the man’s name was Justis, ironically befitting the actions he accomplished on that day... and from there, Nes fell hard. He clinged to Justis, finally discovering friendship and manifesting those connections he craved for so long, and more... Over time, Nes fell into the seas of love because his appreciation towards Justis only increased. The little accomplishments made by Justis got Tennessee’s heart pumping, made his cheeks turn embarrassed red, caused a physical heatwave affecting a single man, but most importantly, made him smile until his cheeks hurt. For once, Nes had an ally, someone he could confide in who was not family and someone he began sharing things with. Over time, Nes was gathering more gear for his ventures, showing Justis his pictures and videos. For a time, Justis would be the only one who was aware of Tennessee’s second, quieter career as an urbexer YouTuber. At first, Justis was one of the few outside his family Nes felt he could wholeheartedly trust. He placed his faith in him, and it proved well placed when the pair began dating. His boyfriend arrived with the slow cultivation of Nes’ confidence improving gradually. After graduation, Nes began devoting more time into YouTube. Eventually being capable of revealing his voice and exploring the abandoned locations he fantasized about. Over the years, his confidence improved, leading to a tentative face revealed during an explanation of his life. Eventually, him and Justis moved in together, even going on to have videos featuring them exploring together. From there, Tennessee felt his mental state finally mending after the harsh bullying he went through. misc Likes: Exploring, oversized blankets, bugs, cuddling, movie nights, abandoned buildings, flying, books, photography, videography, vlogging, bats, thick sweaters, dreams, sleeping in, breakfast, scrambled eggs, cheesy pick-up lines, baking, drones Dislikes: Expectations, judgements on appearances, make up, jellybeans, hot weather, his full name, bullies, crying, sexualized music, lonesomeness, dramatic channels, haters, internet trolls, discrimnation, random lust Fears: Being inadequate, judgement, violence - Part of Nes hates hot weather because of the fact that it makes his safety gear warm and sweaty for him. - He adamantly goes by the nickname Nes because he dislikes his full name. - Nes hates when he cries.
