ROXS
⫷ | he / him ⋄ painter | ⫸
"i'm roxs, pronounced rocks, and welcome to my humble abode!"
belongs to radar, if that wasn't clear.
pronounced rocks; always seems to feel the need to tell everyone how his name is pronounced despite no one actually mispronouncing it.
believes he has talent, but the best artwork he is able to do is abstract. though making it "abstract" was never his intentions, that's just how others perceived it.
spoiled most of his life by his rich parents who always thought he had talent and always gave him art supplies to work with. due to his parents never giving him criticism, he believes ever single piece of artwork he's done is a masterpiece.
the markings his face, horns, and wings were painted on by himself. most of his artwork can be seen at the local art museum. he managed to get it put there with the power of money.

APPEARANCE
 
*pale shades of aquamarine, with a greener color going across his back and a bluer color going across the rest of his body.
* head, underbelly, legs, and wings are warm oranges and reds. eyes are green with weird, misshapen pupils that look like x's. these pupils spin when he's excited or awed. they spin even faster when feeling intense versions of these emotions.
* horns are bendy and purple, orange and red stripes go across them sporadically. these are painted on by roxs himself.
* orange sail goes across his head and stops halfway down his neck. spines of the same color continue where the sail left off.
*ruff around his head has orangish-red membranes.
*has a battle scar on his left arm that he got from the first and only time he was sent onto the battlefield as a soldier.
PERSONALITY
*naïve, gullible, and stupid. gets envious over stupid things like gifts and very little else.
*thinks he's got talent since that's what he's been told all his life by his parents. in truth he has the artistic skill of a toddler who's barely trying.
*plays chess so people won't say he's stupid.
*quality control? why do i need that when i have money?
*feels to need to tell everyone how to pronounce his name even though NO ONE has EVER mispronounced it.
*doesn't go by anything but roxs and if you try to refer to him by any other cool nickname he'll say, in a confused manner, "its roxs."
*don't tell anyone that "roxs" wasn't originally his name, his parents legally changed it because he was 100% convinced that "roxs" was his real name when it was in fact a nickname his parents gave him.
*in his defense his parents never called from by his former real name, so they certainly messed up there.
*if he's ever in a fight, he'll run away. he's not about to get his lights punched out. isn't very brave, but wishes he was. it's basically a 50 / 50 chance on whether or not he'll run away.
*looses every fight he's ever been involved in.
* throws money at most of his problems and when he can’t, he panics. can’t stand confrontation.
*always talks big about how amazing he is at painting, but whenever someone asks him to paint, he just stalls until they loose interest. can talk the talk, but can’t walk the walk.
*has dependency issues, can’t cook on his own and because of that he usually forgets to eat. will only remember if he has snacks or microwave dinners available to him. or if someone makes him food.
*is VERY cowardly when he feels like his life is at risk. often cries when scared. his thanatophobia is the cause of this.
ABILITIES
*can vaguely change the color of the warm parts of his body, with the cooler parts staying solid. the warm parts can also only change to other warm colors and nothing else.
*is really good at abstract paintings... it's too bad that isn't what he was going for. it just happens because of how poorly he paints things.
*money. need i say more.
HISTORY
 
*grew up as an only child with wealthy and loving parents who were so nervous to be good parents that they spoiled him. he had butlers taking care of him, making him food and showering him in praise.
*got into painting from a young age. liking to paint on the walls and comically large pieces of paper. thought himself an artistic genius because his parents thought he was some kind of child prodigy or something.
* never made any friends when he was younger because everyone thought he was a talentless loser. got into the chess club just so people would stop making fun of him. he's actually not that bad at chess.
*got his artwork placed in an art gallery because his parents gave the curators a lot of money.
RELATIONSHIPS
please roleplay beforehand
parents: he's very close with his parents, as they both spoiled him rotten as a dragonet. as such, he's incredibly dependent on both of them for financial and emotional support. they go easy on him and let him do as he pleases, which is why he's so fond of them. but it also means they don't push him to greater heights, believing he's already there. very positive
feldspar: his grandfather, a war veteran of the recently-ended war of embers and sea. lived with him for a solid month and never wants to live with him again. the mudwing put him in a military camp that he was training to "toughen him up." he never seemed happy to see the hybrid and is convinced his grandfather hates him. very negative
coy: his best friend. they enjoy eating ice cream and exploring the city together. they're bromance is strong. greatly admires his ability to play the guitar and often gives him song requests. he got roxs into folk music and now he's hooked. very positive
TRIVIA
*his original design was definitely different then his final design, but the color placement was the same, blue for the main scales and orange for the underbelly.
**he was also originally going to have actual stripes and a much more complex design. however, since i wasn't happy with how it turned out, i just made it more simplistic.
*his birth name was roxas before being legally changed to his nickname "roxs."
*his pupils actually spin when he's excited or awed. they spin faster the stronger those emotions are.
*likes folk and orchestra music.
*has intense thanatophobia, this became more intense after the month he spent with his grandfather. is also very squeamish around blood and gore.
