^^" Hope you don't mind that I extended it... I feel awkward when I don't put down a lot of info on a character, always just feel like I need to add more.
First Name: Josep
Full Name: Josep Sage Lewis-Penn
Nicknames: Joey
Species: Chimera - The Chimera (Ancient Greek: , Chmaira means 'she-goat'), according to Greek mythology, it was a fire-breathing hybrid creature. It is usually depicted as a lion, with the head of a goat protruding from its back, and a tail that might end with a snake's head. It was an offspring of Typhon and Echidna and a sibling of such monsters as Cerberus and the Lernaean Hydra.
Gender/pronouns: Male, He/him, amab
Age: - I don't know what the age minimums or maximums are so I'll just say he is between ages 14-28 -
Personality: Not afraid to pull the occasional prank, he has quite the chipper personality in contrast to his rather bland appearance and is usually quick to make friends in new social situations. However, this has also led to people considering him 'childish' and immature, which isn't totally wrong. He has some growing-up to do.

Appearance: As a 'human' he looks quite plain, boring really, not unattractive but nothing spectacular either. 5'9" [claims to be 6'0", don't listen] with pale brunette hair reaching just at his shoulders, lightly tanned skin, and auburn eyes surrounded in freckles. His only real distinct feature being the absence of his left leg knee-down. Thanks to modern technology, however, he has a prosthetic limb, bendable and all, in pants you could probably never even tell he's disabled so long as you didn't look too closely.
Backstory: Despite mythology, he and his family have never been the... feasting on human organs type. Josep was raised in a town that also had some Chimera in it, though it's no surprise you wouldn't know them all, regardless of whether they were sure another family was 'mytho', they'd still kept secret, it could have been a town of just Chimera for all they'd known [it is definitely not]. His family bloodline has consistently had the ability to turn into more than one creature and/or combinations of, so it was really no surprise that he could as well, though for now it only seems like he is able to shift to different avian species and has recently learned how to do snakes as well. His family knows full well that non-human creatures are currently being hunted down, and are taking precautions, but they figure suddenly moving and "causing a ruckus" would only stir conversations, making people talk and try to 'investigate', so their lives haven't changed much outside of not leaving the house as much, only for school and/or work and... completely prohibiting any and all use of their abilities.
Powers/abilities: In mythology Chimera are typically depicted as hybrid creatures mixed with different parts of other animals, however, there are some stories outside of greek mythos that said that Chimera had the ability to shift between human and another creature, namely to blend in with humans when necessary to later devour them. Some Chimera even told to be able to turn into several different creatures or combinations of, rather than just one. He, unfortunately, cannot breathe fire, despite trying on many embarrassing occasions. He can however turn into avians, just generalized avians... some may have the occasional snake-for-tails to mess with people...
Other: His parents hyphened their last names when getting married, just clarifying for his last name. ^^" I would in no way try to credit my information for anything other than storytelling, as some info has been slightly warped for my specific character [such as; all stories depict Chimaera to be female, "she-goats", and my character is not female, etc]. He prefers his 'nickname' Joey over his actual name.
His grandparents were from the southern coast of turkey and moved to America with his father and uncles/aunts when they were children, but his mother is purely American and he was born & raised in America. |
