Name: Pinocchio
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Species: Animate Puppet
Powers/Abilities: Extended Nose When Lying
Appearance: Above image on the right. Pinocchio still has very boyish features, puberty didn't have much of an effect on him besides his growth spurts in height. He now stands 6'2, much too tall to be a conventional puppet. Even as a real human he was overly boyish in his appearance and was targeted a bit for the ridiculous difference between his height and facial features. He never wears his hat anymore though, normally wearing a black hoodie, jeans and sneakers as to avoid as much attention to him as possible.
Fairytale: The Adventures of Pinocchio
Part in Story: Pinocchio
History:
In an Italian village, Geppetto, an old woodcarver, receives a piece of wood which looks perfect for his next project, a puppet. But when he sets to work something magical happens – the piece of wood begins to talk. When Geppetto is finished, the puppet turns out to be cheeky, naughty, and can walk, run and eat with as hearty an appetite as any young boy.
Geppetto calls him Pinocchio (which means ‘pine nut’) and brings him up as his son. But Pinocchio is disobedient – he tells lies, and every time he lies, his nose grows longer. Geppetto makes many sacrifices for his adopted son, but Pinocchio finds it hard to be good. He is easily led astray, tumbling from one disastrous adventure to another in which he is robbed, imprisoned, chased by bandits and only narrowly escapes death. His friends, the Cricket and the Blue Fairy, try to make see that his dream – to be a real boy – can never come true until Pinocchio finally changes his ways.
Pinocchio with some struggles becomes a better person, and his wish is granted and he becomes a real boy. But in 9 years his character slipped back to his obnoxious, selfish personality and returned to a puppet, doomed to live as an animate piece of wood again. Descent into grief at his father's death, Pinocchio's personality begun to shape into a sociopath, not caring about anyone and afraid to care for anyone since as a piece of wood he isn't even 'alive' rather than 'animate' and doesn't want to be judged.
Personality: Pinocchio is quite intelligent since he spends a lot of time just studying as he has nothing else to do. The analysis of his own inhumanity makes him very antisocial, not wanting to be judged for not even being 'alive' but just animate. He doesn't care about other people in a forced view of the world. All that's left of his old personality now is the wish to be a real person again. Not wanting to see any of his old 'friends' he moves here for a new life.
Family: Geppetto his father (Deceased)
Friends: None yet
Crush/Relationships: None but may develop further (Relationships would be interesting character development for both with a sociopath, as a borderline sociopath I should know. But it's slow if we wanna do it realistic in this fairy tale roleplay *keeping a straight face barely*)
