First Impressions




☄ First Impressions

✦ VISUAL: He looks like someone threw a bird, a human and a ghost in a blender with a bunch of oranges. At his 16 year old canonpoint, where I play him from, he's recovered from his wing-severing injury and has two whole wings again (and no bandages). He's got a big, feathery ruff, a really long ghost tail that he can apparently snake around on if this panel is any sign, taloned and feathery arms/hands, and also freckles because we can't have everything here be bird things.

He can make himself pretty tall on his tail depending on how he "stands", and he tends to stand himself at a pretty good height, past 6 feet at least. His usual facial expression is some flavour of unreadable, but it's mentioned that he's much less good at the whole pokerface thing than human Dave is because he's got even more emotional issues - if he's not unreadable, there's a fair chance he's edging on morose or just weighed down and tired. Most of his eye area can't be used to read his mood, considering he wears oversized shades, but his brows are still visible.
✦ FASHION: HE WEARS A T-SHIRT that's literally it. The shirt is part of his sprite coding technically so it's a bit like a "default" outfit, he can remove it but it's just a natural thing for him to be wearing. Also pulling a shirt off over your giant feathery neck ruff too often is just gonna get really old really quickly.
✦ DEMEANOUR: Chill, calm, distant. Davesprite appreciates his space mostly because he doesn't think people deserve to have him inflicted on them, so he'll be a bit hesitant about getting close to people. He also tries to affect a cool persona so that'll also affect his willingness to be seen doing any close contact, but he doesn't care nearly as much about it as human Dave. On the other hand, he'll likely be a little weird about people expressing close affection/compliments/etc towards him because of his disastrous level of self-worth.
✦ AURAL: Since he's canonically from Texas he likely has at least a slight accent in that direction, his tone tends to be just as chill as he comes off as well. Despite that, he speaks like a thesaurus at times, and can be very hard to follow courtesy of his tendency towards long, rambling tangents and obtuse metaphors.

Also sometimes he makes bird noises. If you surprise him you might get a caw or two.
✦ OLFACTORY: Feathery smells, probably something about oranges or orange creamsicles in there because orange jokes.
✦ MENTAL INFORMATION: Davesprite's head is not a fun place, if anyone with mind-reading/empathic skills gets close to him they're likely to feel a constant buzz of self-hatred, disappointment with himself and general malaise. Go a bit deeper and you'll hit the existential issues aplenty, feelings of worthlessness and general exhaustion with just about everything. Basically, his mind is a minefield and probably not to be navigated without some serious planning first.
✦ MAGICAL INFORMATION: He's a sprite, so he does have an odd kind of magic, but it's probably more founded in technology than traditional magic considering his origin.
