horos is a young adult silkwing who is a filmmaker for a unreleased tv show that i'm still coming up with the name for. they're very curious about... weird things. supernatural beings, cryptids, "revealing the truth about the ladies of the hives and the dirt they're trying to hide," and evil organisations hiding from the public eye. while he pretends he does it for fame, he's actually very passionate about this kind of stuff. often times endangers himself and his partner who is the cameraman.
most well-known for chasing after a supposed cult in mantis hive and for getting fined for "making a scene" and "disturbing the peace." had heard about the cult in mantis hive after eavesdropping on a conversation about the sudden "disappearance" of an icewing ambassador. also once broke into lady bloodworm's mansion to find dirt that she and the other ladies were planning something big. somehow got out without being spotted, though some speculate that he broke into the mansion after it was brought to attention.
Appearance
Horos doesn't have a remarkable appearance when you compare him to that of most SilkWings with their colorful scales and complex patterns. The scales that cover most of his body are light green in color, with highlights of cactus green on the triangular scales across his back. A large row of dark brown scales separate his main scales from his maroon underbelly. This brown is also seen on his head, yet again separating the light green from the maroon that covers his face. Teardrop scales dot the brown row of scales, though this and the brown row disappear upon hitting his forelegs.
The SilkWing's spines stay close to his body and are orange-red in color. His nose horn that perches on his snout is the same color as these spines. The long, bendy horns that come from the back of his head are of the same color as the scales covering the top of his head up to his forehead. They blend into the rest of his scales really well, and they curve upward at the tips. Horos's eyes are a dark green, similar to the highlights on the scales going down his back as well as the color of his knobby antenna.
His wings are large with dark brown markings that have maroon running across the edges of the wings. Golden brown teardrop shaped markings dot each arc in the wings. This pattern is copied onto his hindwings as well. Horos usually wears black jackets, perhaps to blend in with the shadows of the hives, but it really has the opposite effect when he's out in public. His build is short and plump, very softly curved with there rarely being a sharp edge on his body, with the only noticeable one being the ends of his horns.
Most of his size is taken up by his wings and if one is to discount them, then he would look very small and pathetic in comparison. His cheeks are round and rosy, his eyes are filled with enthusiasm and determination. The SilkWing's talons are gently curved and blunt, he can't do any damage with them. This is why he relies on both his partner (who has much sharper talons) and his trusty pocket knife that he hides in his pocket. Horos is very against wearing jewelry or anything flashy, as it both draws attention to himself and makes him look pretty on the outside, something he doesn't want to be seen as.
Personality
An enthusiastic filmmaker, who's dangerously curious and stupidly brave. He isn't popular with the public for many reasons, most think of him as a paranoid madman who doesn't know when to stop testing his limits. Horos acts more like an excited fanboy than a functioning adult, so weird, creative, and loving towards his tribe. Indeed he is a bit paranoid about how the hives are still run by HiveWings and thinks they're hiding a very dark secret. Not only that, but he and his mate, Hudini, have spent years pursuing an incredibly dangerous cult that resides in Mantis Hive that he believes is working with or at least associated with the HiveWing Ladies.
Horos is very determined to find "the truth," and will follow any lead or information he's been given like a basset hound. In fact, he's quite open about it, filming his own very unprofessional tv show that he does with Hudini. He's filmed a lot of things public eyes were never supposed to see on camera, though he still has yet to make such a video public yet, saying he's waiting for the right moment and wants to collect all the evidence. He's compassionate about this, it's truly admirable how much he wants to solve this.
The SilkWing has a certain obsession with the supernatural, cryptids, and online creepypasta, something he shares heavily with his partner. One of the things he's admired greatly was a band of higher beings that resided in Vinegaroon Hive, and has in fact filmed some of the fights they've been in on camera. While he romanticizes being a part of this league, he knows that he's already going to become a hero to the public when he releases his findings to the public. He always liked that feeling of being admired or looked up to, it makes him feel important.
While very loyal to not leaving without answers, when it comes to questioning others about what they've seen, he doesn't like making them too uncomfortable. He just doesn't like pestering or harassing others and if the dragon he's questioning is uncomfortable, he won't press any further. There is just a line he's unable to cross when it comes to getting his answers. Horos has a tendency to get ahead of himself and can be a tad bit overconfident at times. This often leads to him and his partner getting into incredibly dangerous situations.
He's aware SilkWings are looked down upon, how HiveWings (especially in Jewel Hive) like to treat them like objects or pets to show off to others. Most of this makes him incredibly uncomfortable, it makes his scales prickle like insects are underneath them. While he doesn't actively insult any SilkWings who like wearing jewelry, he despises wearing jewelry or shiny things himself. He doesn't want to be seen or treated like a plaything for HiveWings. This is one of the reasons he's suspicious of the upper class HiveWings and why he avoids Jewel Hive.
Abilities
 
*typical silkwing abilities, can fly and can spin silk.
*good at filmmaking and acting. has no stagefright and is very confident in himself.
*stealthy, good at sneaking around and eavesdropping. learned that from a former friend of his who became a very talented thief.
*antenna can sense danger, which is particularly useful when breaking into peoples' houses and hiding from... certain people.
*pretty good at video editing, but his partner does most of it, he just helps them.
Weaknesses
*paranoid and distrustful of higher class hivewings. the rich ones. as well as the hive ladies. is honestly intimidated by them
*very curious to the point where it becomes a little bit concerning. pokes his nose where it shouldn't be and has gotten into life or death situations because of his curiosity.
*can get a bit careless when it comes to getting some things on film. is about getting "filmed evidence" and all that, so when something happens and he doesn't catch it on camera, he gets a bit worked up. this also leads to life or death situations as well. he's seen and even filmed things he wasn't supposed to see.
*sometimes doesn't know when to turn the camera off.
History
 
* was always a weird and creative who loved hearing about everything going on behind the scenes. though whenever he told friends about this stuff, everyone would deny it as false.
*typo, their father, was a journalist for a popular silkwing newspaper and would often tell his child about the information he's gathered, explaining any questions they had.
*got into filmmaking at a young age and they and their father made home videos that they would show to relatives. was a little bit of a "superhero" among their family.
*met hudini in middle school and became their academic partner. they always found horos to be humorous and would therefore stick around with him.
* sometimes they'd come over to each other's apartments and read stuff about cryptids and creepypasta. it never kept him up at night or gave him nightmares, it just made him laugh, like it was some sort of comedy. would laugh harder at some of the stupider stuff.
*was never really bullied that much other than the occasional jeer from the oldest kid in their class for being a weirdo, but other than that their creativity and weirdness was welcomed (but most people just didn't find him weird).
* started to question hivewing reign whenever it was brought up in history class and starting thinking that the hivewing ladies might be hiding something.
*would sometimes bring up their concern to their parents, but they always dismissed it.
*during the start of high school, he started developing a crush on hudini, thought about them all the time and enjoyed every second of time spent with them. their interactions became more and more frequent.
*both were taking filmmaking together and were making videos together. both found it enjoyable to do together.
*uh, i guess i'll write down some other history-related stuff.
*dad went missing for a decade and a half when horos was about to graduate from high school and go to a collage in mantis hive with hudini, his romantic partner who he's been dating for years now.
*met his step-father, inchworm, 5 years after his father went missing and was considered dead by just about everyone. didn't have that great of a relationship with him.
*dropped out of collage to become a filmmaker with his partner, created an unreleased tv show where they film suspicious activity going around in mantis hive. he is the main commentator, secondary video editor, and show host while hudini is the cameraperson, secondary commentator, and main video editor.
*has almost died several times and has gotten arrested twice. currently chasing down a cult that is incredibly dangerous. but that's just a plus for him apparently.
Relationships
please roleplay beforehand (pantala only)
Typo
their father who has since gone missing for almost a decade and a half. almost everyone assumes he's dead and horos wants to find out what happened to him and to get him back dead or alive. loved him alot when he was around and while his sense of humor was awful, it still made them laugh. often made home videos with him and ultimately he was the one who inspired them to want to become a filmmaker. typo was a journalist for silk news, a very popular silkwing newspaper. would always talk about the "hot fashion trends" of jewel hive as well as rather controversial things that would happen among all the hives. misses him a lot.

Mixed Feelings
Hudini
he loves them so, so much. the two share the same compassion and figuring out what is really going on behind the scenes. hudini is a master escape artist, lock-picker, and gifted in filmmaking and editing. the two were academic partners since middle school and were very close friends. the silkwing loves horos's compassion and weirdness and horos loves their loyalty, kindness, creativity, and having the ability to share his enthusiasm with solving mysteries. very loving and affectionate couple who both run the tv show together.
Very Positive
Trivia
 
* doesn't know how to cook, hudini does most of the cooking for the two of them. if you ever let him cook, he'd probably burn down the entire kitchen.
*the quality of his videos are on the levels of a home video, with a shaky camera and some background noise than can be heard.
*really into sugary cereals, i don't know why.
