#aleer

Name: Aleer

Age: 12-13 (He Smol)

Origin World: Lyuhx

Hometown: Nohxe

Tarot Card: The Sun

Abilities: Retrocognition, Mediumship

Hobbies: Despite being very blind, he enjoys making little arts and crafts, as well as painting and colouring. He keeps all of his supplies immaculately organized and his sister, Talaitha, told him which colour was where so he can pick which he wants. Though he has some memory of what colours look like, he associates colours mostly with feelings and tactile sensations, and believes he can communicate his emotions more fluidly based on what colour he uses even though he can’t actually see the end result. Along with his slight obsession over colour-feeling representation, his creations tend to be very tactile in nature, as they’re far easier for him to enjoy than something purely visual. 

Personality: A Sweet Summer Child, not yet burdened by the anxiety and insecurity of teendom, Aleer is mostly concerned about his sister’s well being, as well as staying way the fuck away from his parents and the law academy they had enrolled him in.  Soft spoken and something of a wallflower, he tries not to get too involved with those around him, and any amount of prolonged social interaction (especially at his job) tires him out quickly. 

Backstory: Born with a slight sight impairment and a talent for retrocognition, Aleer’s parents decided to speed the process along and blind him themselves, enrolling him in a state law program to reap the benefits of it. Although the people of Lohkexe believe that the blind are natural oracles and thus suited for power, Aleer quickly learned that this is mostly false. The fact that he could actually see the past soon became an issue among his peers, and would have landed him in trouble had his older sister Talaitha not rescued him from it by technically kidnapping him (Does it count as kidnapping if Aleer was 100% okay with it?). Now living with his sister, he works part time at the circus she preforms with as a fortune teller. 

He at one point befriends an imp that he refers to as “Mr. Demon” (the imp doesn’t have a personal name and thus doesn’t correct him). “Mr. Demon” is probably the most benign imp possible, far preferring hanging out with this kid than being expected to mop up gore at home. He sticks around as a seeing-eye buddy. 

Outfit Notes

Judge’s Cloak: The social climate is fairly conservative, and thus most of the clothing is fully covered and hides a lot of the person’s actual shape from others. The Judge’s Cloak consists of two main portions: the larger floor-length shawl, and a smaller cape piece white reaches the back of the knee. Wit this outfit, he wears a single chain as a mark of rank, and the pattern on the shawl represents the world being upheld by the judges. 

Inner Outfit: What he wears under the Cloak, although since the populous doesn’t ever see what’s under the Cloak, no one questions him wearing it around as normal clothing (Talaitha can barely make rent, never mind buy him new clothes, so he wears the few things he brought from the academy). The designs on these pieces similarly represent the upholding of the law, as well as the high position of enlightenment held by the judges.
