Physical Description

With wavy, reddish-blonde hair, pale skin, and a short, 5’4” stature, Palis stays true to the expected appearance of an Anaxi galdor. However, one may notice the imperfect heterochromia of his left eye, leaving a brown island in otherwise dull, round, blue-grey eyes. Around his eyes, a splotchy rosacea lights up an otherwise pale, shaved, and youthful face, dancing red tulle over a round nose, flat cheeks, and pointed chin.

Palis, though average in height, is gawky and long-limbed in comparison with his torso and slender hands and feet. He does his best to find jackets, shirts, and trousers that stretch down the length of his limbs without stretching his budget but is often left with a bare forearm or ankle should a hand be raised or seat be taken. He takes pride in his fashion, however, refusing to wear the dull blacks, navies, greys, and browns of his father’s taste and instead choosing the chartreuse, magenta, and indigo of his own.

Personality
Palis is endlessly worried about how he is perceived. He tries his best to be warm-hearted and jovial but struggles often to communicate with those who do not return or appreciate his festive spirit. He often gets into his own head, telling himself that he sounds too immature, insincere, or incompetent.

Palis is a big dreamer, but not without the will to get to each dream. He is an incredibly hard worker, making up for many lacking talents with the willingness to practice, restart, and try again until he is successful. He is organized and tidy, and, though often wounded by small criticisms, he takes the advice of those he respects, admires, or competes with incredibly seriously in order to improve himself.

Alone, Palis is quiet, focused, and prey to the mania of self-loathing. He believes that many depend on him to be a constant, light-hearted companion, and he doesn’t want to burden others with any of the common fears of early-adulthood: loneliness, death, failure, and simply not doing or being enough.

Though he may not publicly express it, Palis does feel some pity for humans, passives, and wicks alike. He does, however, tell himself that humans, wicks, and passives are best served and protected under the jurisdiction of the galdori.
Backstory
Palis Ainu was born as small and fragile as ever in the wee morning hours of a blustery winter day to researcher Kilapu Ainu and his young wife, Anka. The three lived comfortably in warm house in Vienda. Palis was taught his impeccable manners by watching his parents politely interact like strangers. He learned a certainly wide vocabulary from his father’s friend at drinking parties, and the boy quickly took to identifying and growing flowers and vegetables in his mother’s back garden. Yet, with all he learned and performed, there seemed little to set the child apart from any human.

Tragedy is thought to coax the voice of mona out of the most reluctant galdor, yet, the child could not produce even a spark while he and his mother were jumbled and thrown in what Palis can only remember to be the fear, the carriage, and the feeling of the ground on his face before weeks of tears and black dress and processions.

Palis scored a two on his admissions test, and he cherishes that two despite how low a score it was. In Brunnhold, Palis could be more than the son his father did not look at, more than a motherless child pitied at tea. Though not easily, Palis managed just above average marks with studying and tutors. The boy came to enjoy and make good marks in static and perceptive conversation, as well as his politics and history courses.

In his later years of schooling, Palis met Incumbent Siordanti and was fortunate to make a good enough impression to be taken as an intern whilst still studying.

Career and Income

Occupation: Intern

Today, Palis interns under Incumbent Siordanti in hopes of joining the Anaxas government on his own. He spends much of his time tailing Siordanti, researching and organizing notes, and scoring every political contact he can. In order to improve his standings among other interns, Palis is hoping to find some politics in action and bring new information that his peers cannot find in mere papers or books.

Income:Average

Even as a mere intern, Palis is comfortable and well taken care of. He doesn’t worry too much about his lavish investments in clothing, especially with the knowledge that his father, as much as they dislike each other, is too traditional to remove his only heir from his will. He also knows that if he comes to struggle too much, his father will support him so as to keep the boy from tarnishing the elder man’s image too much. His biggest struggle now is the silence of living alone. He’s managing however, but he does rest easier knowing that he has enough money to take another class or hire temporary help if he is faced with a new problem.


Housing and Inventory

Housing: City Dweller

Palis lives in a small, two-story apartment building with 10 or so strangers he doesn’t care to meet. It’s a quiet area of Vienda, and he doesn’t mind. The apartment is modest, providing him a bed, a small kitchen, and a small dining area. With two lavatories on each floor, Palis has decoded the hours at which he can wash up in the lavatory without ever seeing the other man he shares it with, except on strange and uncomfortable occasions.

Inventory

-Four (4) full outfits
-One (1)set of toiletries
-One (1) water skin
-Three piece dining set for four
-Two sets of eating utensils
-Tinderbox
-A lovely scarf gifted to him by Aurelien LeClair
-PET: A parakeet named “Seyo”

Goals

One of the most prominent goals in Palis’ mind is to cast off the shadow of his father’s success. He wants to no longer hear, “Ainu, you say? Are you Kilapu’s boy?” He wants the world to know Palis Ainu for his achievements, not his father’s.

Palis would like to spend his internship researching the Resistance first hand. Boy detective, out!

More personally and short-term, Palis would like to become more comfortable and apt with living alone. He would like to make friends that care to keep in touch after the party ends. He wouldn’t mind a companion, a soulmate, whether that be romantically or platonically. He would like to make connections to further his career.
tonight we’re gonna party like it’s 2699
