So this is something I wanted to create specifically for myself, well I created it a little while ago really XD But now feel confident enough to both share it and the meaning behind it in GREATER detail! Mostly copied and pasted because I shared it already to good friends and all, but adjusting it as I go X3
Samfireballkat, ak Sammy, Sammitch, Sammu, however people call them and know them by, is a bright and very colorful Skax. The colors I have chosen to represent both he and myself are meant to represent warmth, positivity, energy, and even comfort. Some of his magical powers revolve partially around fire as well as immunity to fire, including lava and so on, but not things unlike fire yet still burn such as acids. He's meant to be cheery and sweet, rambunctious at times and very silly but always trying to be heartwarming as well, and quite a bit of a nerd. Warm and bubbly, all that good and mostly positive sort of stuff, yet bears sad blue colored eyes. Usually his runes and symbols scattered upon his body is what helps him focus and use his own magical powers of different sorts, albeit he has a bit of a weakness towards water, and a slightly weak stomach and mind towards gruesome matters as well.
Now, when he starts to lose himself, be it welling anger or deepening sadness, frustration and whatnot, those bright colors of his start to dull and fade. The worse he suffers from the more depressive side of emotions, the emptier of color he gradually becomes. His eyes remain the same (for the most part), but every other part of him weakens, including his personal warmth and glow, that positivity he holds with pride and all of that, it weakens and drains away, you can tell simply how he feels and what he is going through at times by the way his bright colors have become, and it affects his mental state and overall wellbeing.
But the extremity of it, when he really becomes fully broken and sad or depressed, to as low of a degree as possible, his colors all vanish. He's pure white, like that of snow, minus the fact that you can see faint grey markings of where his runes and all are but there's no other color whatsoever. Even his own element has changed entirely, taking away that warmth and replacing it with what sadness brings: coldness. The only color that remains on him is the sad blue eyes, which have gotten an even sadder deeper blue. Instead of fire, now he's like ice, he's freezing, not just by powers but literally freezing as well. Instead of spreading warmth, he absorbs it, leaving behind that same coldness with whatever he touches, and he even unintentionally will absorb the colors away temporarily from whatever he brushed against as well. That bright colorful energy is gone, and you get a tired and sad, empty looking guy instead. The very opposite of what he once was, from heat to cold. It isn't that he now is entirely beyond the point of saving, but he is broken and lost, what he could use in that sad state of his, is a friend, a companion, people to be around, to talk with, and comfort him.
Partially also influenced by the fact I am Canadian, and I love how pretty the white sparkly snow is, plus that oddly feels like something that would truly depict who I am, and my personality as well XD For I really do change and become quiet, almost lifeless, when sad such as that. I think this speaks a loooot to me, so this is an emotional piece for myself that I wonder if I really should commit with, not as in a sense to erase or replace my character, not at all, in fact it is to add to him, to build a story, to deepen who he is and really bring out more of his (and therefore my own) personality into it, to bring that connection of himself to me even more so X3
I dunno how creative of an idea that is, if it is brilliant then yay! If not oh well, I did give it a great try, but still might make this into a real thing just for myself XD
And with that all out of the way... what do people think of it? Genuinely, what do other's feel about this whole idea, this story, his characterization that is also meant to correspond with both who I am and how I feel?
