|Ability|:
Serene Grace | The chances of a move having a secondary effect is doubled.
|Personality|:
• Birdbrained | Em is really forgetful and easily distracted, without his planner he probably wouldn't make it through the day or remember to put pants on.
○ Corny | He loves bad jokes, puns, funny and mawkishly sentimental situations.
• Touchy-Feely | In order to help get his feelings across to others, he feels physical contact gives him an extra boost. Happy or sad? A hug is in order- Feeling down? A hand on the shoulder will help them connect!
○ Competitive | There's one thing Em hates more than alarm clocks and it's losing. Triple dog dare? Consider it triple dog done.
• Cheerful | If Em had to pick one personality trait to explain himself as a whole, then cheerful would probably be the first word to stumble from his lips before he tried to change his answer to something ridiculous like "Bodacious" because it sounds cool. He had a positive outlook on life and tries to maintain a kind and upbeat optimism through everything! Smiles are contagious after all!
○ Charitable | If a stranger came up to Emlyn and asked for his arm, Em would ask how soon do they need it. He's giving, almost to the point of being too giving- he'd be willing to give everything to benefit someone else.
• Inflexible | He had a strict schedule that he tends to stick to for his own benefit, breaking his pre-planned schedule confuses and flusters him. What was he supposed to be doing again? Unexpected situations or delays upset him as he panics and tries to figure out what he could do to his schedule to fix it to accommodate whatever is happening.
○ Big-Headed | It's easy for him to forget his own flaws and shortcomings when talking to others, Em comes off as a braggart when talking about his own life and set up, he's blind to his own words and how others can interpret them.
• Gullible | Not only could you sell him something and convince him that he owes you money for selling him it, but he's also a sucker for a sob story. His heartstrings are easily tugged on and he's too eager to offer help to anyone who asks for it, even if he cant support them as well as himself.
|Hobbies|:
• Stargazing - When a smile is hard to put on and he needs a moment to just chill out there's nothing better than laying on the ground and staring up at the stars
○ Helping others - Finding people down on their luck and doing everything within his power to turn things around for them, even if just for a little bit
• Arts & Crafts - Nothing better than a weekend afternoon dedicated to silly crafts with Cameron. He fancies himself as pretty darn good at arts and crafts as well
○ Netflix and Chill - Watching bad or strange movies and documentaries, or listening to strange music (all star x any other song remixes). Enjoying this with the company of others just makes it twice as good.
• Sleeping - If there's a contest for sleeping, sign him up.
|Likes|:
✔ Tattoos - Loves the way tattoos look on people, including his own tattoos
✔ Light Colors - Dark colors are too brooding! Light tones and colors are his favorite
✔ Smiles - Nothing lights up his day more than making someone else smile
✔ Children - He finds children inherently happier than adults and enjoys teaching and being around them
✔ Motorcycles - He does own one and drives it everywhere should the weather permit.
✔ Hoarding shiny trinkets, especially bells
✔ Volunteering and helping out
✔ Screeching along to songs, even though he's definitely tone-deaf
|Dislikes|:
✘ Smoking - To such an extent if anyone near him for too long is smoking he'll kindly ask them for a puff and then 'accidentally' drop it
✘ Mess/Dirt - Wearing white clothes all the time and getting dirty are not a combination for a good time
✘ Waking up - The morning alarm is his number one enemy, he's probably gone though more alarms than most people do in a life time. Emlyn is not a morning person, avoid contact with him until after hes had his coffee
✘ Math - There is a reason hes a kindergarten teacher and not a high school teacher, and math is why. Pythagorean theorem to him sounds like some kind of Harry Potter spell you cast.
✘ New Places/Directions -Trying to navigate to a new place is not only a scary experience but it's more than likely to end up with him crying while standing in the middle of some random road until someones nice enough to escort him home. Directions are confusing!
✘ Getting spooked - Emlyn doesn't scream, he makes a full out girly shriek of absolute terror
|History|:
Once upon a time there was a boy that couldn't say no to any request, no matter how damning it was to his own well being.
Born unto Mr. and Mrs. White, Emlyn was raised in a quaint little home in a suburban area, his childhood was as regular as a single-childs could go, the common roller coaster ups and downs of growing up and experimenting to find who you really are. His mother was a strong, spiritual, and kind soul who fell in love with a selfish man she thought she could change- but as time rattled on and she rose her son pretty much on her own, she learned that some people never change. She managed to keep it together for as long as she could, she wanted Emlyn to have a set of parents he could come home to, so soon after Em turned 19 and moved out to begin his own life, she divorced her husband and moved as far away from that needy, selfish, ungrateful man as she could. Her last words to her son, besides "I love you" were, "Don't let your father use you like he did me."
Emlyn was left confused, was his father so selfish a man that it really drove his mother away? He couldn't understand it, nor did he see the signs of his fathers overbearing reliance on others until the small things he did for his father occasionally turned into Em stopping by his fathers new apartment to practically care for him. As his father demanded more and more of his attention, Em found himself having less time for himself. He was struggling to find time to complete projects for school for a generic major since nothing sounded appealing, he kept asking for shorter hours at work and money for bills was becoming scarce. Even as his life fell to pieces around him, he continued to smile and hope he could care for his father, and hope maybe one day his father would get back up on his own two feet.
That day never came.
As Emlyn struggled to keep himself and his father afloat, an old friend of his mother contacted him and asked if it was possible for him to babysit her young son for an evening. Dropping off her son, Cameron, she never returned. Em had no way of contacting her, an evening turned into a night, a night turned into a week, a week turned into year. Now as he did his best to handle another being to look after, Em was saved from the brink of ruin by his mother who came back to town for a visit. A little over a year had passed, she wanted to see her son again. After 5 minutes of being in his mothers embrace, he broke. His life was spiraling out of control, he didn't know how to say no to anyone or how to manage his own time and theirs.
With his mothers strong intervention, Em was granted his life back. He got his grades back up, the time he spent with young Cameron made him realize how much he enjoyed working with children and opened up a door to a kindergarten teaching career. His mother offered to raise Cameron while trying to find the boys disappeared mother, but Emlyn found himself content in raising the boy for now- in the year they had been together he felt like a special connection had formed between them. After his mom went back to her new home far away, Emlyn found his life stabilizing. A good year was spent getting used to a routine with Cameron, school, and his new teaching position.
--
But just as things were finally settling, Ems father began reaching out to him again, leaving the boy with mixed feelings. His fathers sob story of the loss of his wife and now his son was abandoning him too pulled at Ems conscience. He consented to small favors, but his father is beginning to call for his service more and more often now and Em again finds himself unable to say no.

|Extra Information|:
• Has a weird habit of leaving his mouth open a little for his resting face, making it look like he's in a state of confusion constantly, which honestly he's almost always confused about something
○ He runs a blog where he tries to keep up with all of the heroes in Las Vicio. In his extreme dedication to knowing everything about heroes he often wanders around Las Vicio at night and stupidly gets himself into trouble
• His wings are really sensitive and its easy to get a reaction out of him from touching them. The earrings he has are clip-ons since piercing them would definitely hurt too much
○ When excited, which is all the time, the tiny wings flap or twitch in a giddy manner
• He carries an obscenely amount of candy on his person at all times for two reasons. The first one being for kids if he comes across any deserving of candy, and the second reason being in case he gets lost on his route home because he fell asleep on the bus and missed his stop and can't remember how to get home and he'll need that candy to eat before he starves to death on the sidewalk because he's totally gonna be lost forever. If he's going to have a last meal it's going to be candy-- a situation like this has happened to him before but luckily after hours of wandering around someone was nice enough to walk him home.
