Fattycakes/"Billy Feen" | Original Character | Not Reserved
Nickname: Sami
Age: 20
Personal DW:
Method of Contact: I'm SamiFire on Plurk.
Characters Played: None currently, but I've also apped Zelgius this round.
Character Info:
Name: Fattycakes (Human name: Billy Feen)
Age: As a Puffski, he's an adult, but as a human in Prospero he's about 10 years old. His true/chronological age is unknown.
Canon: Original Character
Pull Point: After leaving his friend's world for his home world.
Background Info:
Physical Appearance (included for the sake of reference): Here's a picture of him.
Fattycakes is a small (about five inches high), round, puffy creature called a Puffski. His head is shaped like a nub. His eyes are almost totally black except for a small ring of white sclera around them. His fur is tan in color, but in some lights it can appear golden. He's a very simple being; there's not so much to describe about him physically.
As "Billy," Fattycakes is a little boy (about 10 years old). He has blonde hair and dark brown eyes. He has a bit of baby fat on him still, so he still has those chubby, pinchable-looking cheeks. He wears an oversized yellow T-shirt (like... it's definitely made for a larger adult, that's how big it is) and black shorts. He's a rather simple character, design-wise. [No, it doesn't match his current PB at all... I'm going to be getting icons that match better, so please bear with me.]
History: Fattycakes was born on the Puffski home planet- or rather, he was created by their mother goddess, making him one of the first-generation Puffskis (future generations would be born through natural reproduction). In his early years, he didn't even have a name; he was just an ordinary Puffski, puuing and buuing around the home planet. However, when Puffskis were given their multiverse-traveling powers, he took off around the multiverse in search of adventure. He visited a great many worlds of varying qualities- high-tech worlds, fantasy-type worlds, and even normal worlds like our own (though probably no worlds occupied by current Prospero residents). His travels gave him skills not possessed by many other Puffskis, including his keen navigational sense and the ability to naturally speak a few more syllables than most Puffskis could, including the ones required for the name he would be given in the future.
In one world much like ours, Fattycakes met a young human girl who became his best friend. He would return to her after traveling elsewhere, and the two became so close that he kept the name she gave him as a badge of their friendship. From the day she gave it to him onward, he would introduce himself with a "Fa-tty-cakes!" whenever he encountered a new person. To this day, even though he is away from her more frequently than he used to be, he will still return to her every so often to tell her the tales of far away worlds.
Speaking of tale-telling, Fattycakes eventually became a sort of traveling bard to the Puffskis on the home planet and to those who had settled elsewhere, a Puffski that would travel around the multiverse and then return with fantastic tales. When not residing with his friend, he would find a Puffski settlement and hole up with them for a while while relaying the stories of the worlds he had been to. Before being brought to Prospero, he was getting ready to make a trip back to the home world from his friend's world for another round of tale-telling, but it seems that he would have to explore another world before going home... a world where he would gain a human form and have to choose a human name. "Billy Feen" was (or rather, will be) something he made (makes) up on the spot.
Personality: If he is anything, Fattycakes is incredibly cheery and happy-go-lucky. He is practically a little ray of sunshine, always happy and curious. However, he is also very childlike, and prone to the occasional tantrum when things don't quite go his way. Curiously, he can flipflop between playful, childlike behavior and a surprisingly adult demeanor, showing that he has a mature side to him that isn't all fluff and puff. That serious side is something he picked up from his adventures, which have had a few solemn situations; not all Puffskis have the ability to even switch on a serious mode, except when there's danger (in which case they might just panic instead of getting serious) or when Pufflings (baby Puffskis) are involved.
One thing that should be said is that, if he cries, it doesn't always mean that he's sad. He can be a tad manipulative in his own cutesy way, and sometimes he cries just for the sake of crying, or out of frustration or to get his way. He is known to periodically eat pies cooling on windowsills and then cry about them being too hot (even though it was his fault he ate something too hot anyway).
Like most Puffskis, he is quite mischievous and has no qualms about getting up to silly pranks and antics. If he eats something messy, he might pout and grumble until someone wipes his face off for him. He loves amusing others; playing with humans and joining in on their activities is his favorite thing to do. He is sociable and will try to interact with others whenever possible. He tends to avoid sad people because he doesn't like being in situations that are too serious, but if he thinks he can cheer someone up, he will.
When push comes to shove, Fattycakes can be surprisingly brave and show some leadership skills that other Puffskis may not possess. While he may not be able to do any fighting himself, he can use his reputation to lead his fellow Puffskis. If he can't quite lead them into battle, he can lead them on small missions that humans set up. On one adventure, he had to do just this. With a triumphant puu, he led his fellow Puffskis on an espionage mission of sorts through a villain's castle in order to get a grasp of its layout.
Game Specific:
Arcana: Sun
Justification: With such a sunny disposition, why shouldn't he be the Sun? The Sun represents a great many positive aspects, "joy" being the most relevant to Fattycakes. There are also many superstitions regarding Puffskis bringing good luck to people (in the worlds where they exist anyway), so "bright future" and "good health" fits well too. As for the reverse... Fattycakes periodically has little failures, like when he tries to get something beyond his reach (there's only so much that looking cute and asking politely can do for you, after all). Hyperactivity can most certainly occur in Puffskis, leading to lots of jittering around but no actual progress.
Samples:
First Person Sample:
Hi, hi, everybody! My name is Fattycakes, but if you don't feel comfortable with that, you can call me Billy.
I'm really happy as a human right now, buu! I hear people lose their powers when they come to Prospero, but the powers I'd have lost don't really matter right now because I have things I can use in place of them! Normally, we'd have to pick things up sort of... magically, but because I have hands now, I don't have to worry about that! It's so cool!
Oh, speaking of powers, I'd like to tell you about my Persona! Her name is Frigg, and she specializes in healing, analysis, and Light spells. She feels a lot like my Mama back home, somehow. My Mama is a goddess, too. I won't get the analysis and Light skills till I get stronger, but I have the healing right now, so if you need a healer for your trips, go ahead and ask me! I'll be good and I promise I won't get into trouble!
Third Person Sample:
Fattycakes was really, really excited to be a human.
He could run, he could grab things, he didn't have to be carried everywhere... and, foremost on his mind, he could go to school like a real boy. He would learn all kinds of things that humans knew, and he would return home and become a Puffski sage! Or something like that. Did this school require uniforms? He would rock the uniform, definitely! If the school didn't require uniforms... uh... someone was going to have to take him clothes shopping. He never really took much notice in human fashion (not even when people made clothes specifically for his little Puffski body), so he was going to look like he got dressed in the dark without some help. He couldn't just wear comfy oversized t-shirts forever.
Fattycakes was having one difficulty, however. He was having trouble remembering that he had chosen "Billy" as his human name, and so he wouldn't always respond to it. He had lived as Fattycakes for so long that he couldn't even remember the time when he didn't have a name. Switching to a new one was going to be a little difficult, to say the least. It didn't help that he had just chosen Billy on a whim and there was no real significance behind it. Well, he liked the name and thought it was nice and simple and fit him well, but there still wasn't much behind it. Ah, he would learn eventually. There were too many adventures for him to go on to worry about these kinds of things.
