Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Iwan Geere

Nickname: "raindrop" from his brother, Reagan

Age: 16

Birthday: February 1st (Imbolc)

Sign: Aquarius

Gemstone:

Blood Type: O-

Fav. Food: Corn Bread!

Hated Food: Quinoa.

School: Meadowview High School

Hobbies:

Remixes and Sound-editing - he used to do and learn from his brother Reagan and Reagan's friends. While Reagan did mostly GlitchHop and Electro Dubstep, Iwan focuses more on Hi-NRG and house/synthpop fusions. He's inherited all of his brother's audio gear and programs from college, so he's having to book it to learn how to use all these fancier things than the freeware and simple stuff he was using before.

Re-enachment (colonial) - as a Chandler and Soap Boiler, having experience in working tallow, bayberry, and beeswax for dipping and molding. He's excited to start in moldmaking, but hasn't been allowed to actually work with any of the metals yet since it involves pewter and he's under 18. He does this mostly in the summer and fall.

Street dancing - popping, the robot, breaking and locking among others. He used to do this with friends outside the school, in parking lots, at the mall, etc. as a part of the local scene. He still practices and keeps up with watching competition videos on youtube, but doing it out in public makes him nervous. He still will on occasion, but mostly just afterschool or at someone's house.

Virtues:

Energy -- Iwan has a lot of it, and he doesn't need caffeine to get him going any morning ever. JUST SITTING is hard for him to do, so he's always covered in pen doodles, or working on friendship bracelets, or has one earbud in even during classes. It usually causes a problem the first week or two of school, but eventually teachers find that he's always reading and working ahead, is still paying attention, and absolutely is raising his hand frequently to ask questions and engage. He's always a volunteer when someone needs a gofer (go for this, go for that), and he will absolutely be happy to get you that drink you forgot in the kitchen.

Organized -- with as much energy as he has in a day, an easy solution to his steam was to spend it on keeping everything he owns and in the house well cared for, in a consistent place, and in consistent supply. It doesn't bother him for people to use spaces, though, as that natural entropy gives him extra excuse and satisfaction in tidying all over again.

Flaws:

Anxious -- Living in Destiny City for a few years has done its harm to Iwan. He's always uneasy, certain that the worst is around the corner for himself and everyone else he's met or not met. Its made him drop some hobbies he used to have, socialize a little less than he did outside of school, and text people he does care about maybe a little TOO often. Just to check that they're still okay, granted, but when the fear has woken him up at 3 am to text his friend or creep down the hall and check on his parents it is less appreciated.

Flirt -- too much with too little substance. Originally, this was just a learned act that he put on to imitate his brother's easy socialization with everyone in a dancehall. Now, however, its become a wall to keep from getting too close. Iwan is playfully romantic and a tease, but he doesn't commit to closer bonds with anyone out of a deep seated fear that they're going to disappear without a trace or end up mangled in the hospital (like so many classmates or his older brother). If someone shows interest in him steadier than friendship or friendship-with-perks, he balks in a panic. It makes it difficult to have heart-to-hearts with him, or to really trust that he's going to be there when things get really rough, because as soon as someone starts really opening up he gets nervous and starts trying to get away.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Eyes: Wide, mostly white with a brief grey gradient at the outer edge

Hair: High - Pantone 263 C, Med - Pantone 265c, Dark - Pantone Violet C, Variant Hue - Pantone 2582 C. Style is fairly classic emo-boy long and covers one eye most of the time.

Face: Diamond face shape. Nose is narrow and prominant, with long face and strong chin. He has dahlia pierces on either side of his very full lips. He does wear eyeliner and false lashes.

Clothes: Meadowview Uniform! Mesomorph bodily build, with relatively long limbs for proportion, he's very active but he doesn't work out other than dancing. He's still growing, but he's already 5'8".

While the reference name is to a physical location on Earth, for shop puposes it is taken into assumption that that is named in honor of the Cosmos Wonder. The "Cove" as it was introduced, by a disposable in the events at Mistral, is an 'archipelago' formation of islands in an eternally present and renewed, irregular oblong of disconnected 'ocean' that trails pale light-water like a comet in a long, slow orbit at the far reaches of the Milky way (at a 'furthest point' outpost away from Cosmos Castle).

With their home so far out from the already not very social center of the castle at the Cauldron, the Porth Legh knight's purpose was geared towards making the trek inward from the reaches to escort starseeds to the Cauldron (then magic-travelling back to their wonder to start again), and in singing to safety or rescuing travelers from far galaxies who have crossed deep space (or warning to safety lost travelers from inside the Milky Way who approach the Deep) at the cove.

The primary island has a cove and beach formation with black sand, ancient shells and shelf full of glittering rock and a small cave system that served as the dwelling place for the Knight (resident 'merperson'). Six streams of eternally renewing, fresh water can be found throughout the 88 islands (most of which are small). The ocean waters are tropical in temperature, crystal clear and luminsecent. Despite having no planet or satellites to create a tide, there is wave motion on the archipelago outside of the protected cove itself. There used to be a panoply of edible plant and aquatic life, enough to support permanent residence or visitation. As the previous holder of the title made it to Squire, some of the hanging mosses and flowers draping the shelf have started to reappear, but they're still small and far from the elaborate curtains they once were.

Looks awesome!
