𝓕𝓾𝓵𝓵 𝓝𝓪𝓶𝓮 ⟡ Oliver Blythe Alcaldo
𝓝𝓲𝓬𝓴𝓷𝓪𝓶𝓮𝓼 ⟡ He doesn't like going by Oli, the traditional nickname. It's either his full name or simply O / Oh. The joy of being called something that's also like an orgasm sound is too hilarious for him to not enjoy.

𝓥𝓲𝓻𝓽𝓾𝓮𝓼 ⟡ Full of passion and excitement | very interesting conversationalist | independent { in the sense that he can travel alone and come up with his own ideas . . . not that he takes care of himself because he can't do that } and adaptable | genuine | questions assumptions | confident | broad-minded | intuitive | ambitious | witty | eloquent
𝓕𝓵𝓪𝔀𝓼 ⟡ Irresponsible | flighty | blunt | pessimistic | impulsive | easily overlooks details and refuses to acknowledge it because "he's just a big picture type" | procrastinates everything | impatient | accidentally selfish | obstinate | self-indulgent | daredevil | holds grudges | doesn't realize he hurts people and doesn't feel that bad about it because "it wasn't on purpose" | won't start something because he is too scared of failing it and now he doesn't have to address any of those emotions

𝓟𝓮𝓻𝓼𝓸𝓷𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓽𝔂 ⟡ Oliver has that sort of magnetism where you just feel brighter and important when his attention turns your way. However, he is quite unreliable and all over the place. Becoming dependent on him for just about anything, but most especially emotional fulfillment, is like a death sentence. O does not care about being liked by everyone. He's going to be himself. If you don't like it, you can walk away. While this can be admirable, sometimes he takes it to the extreme and uses it as an excuse to not change bad habits. "It's just who I am," shouldn't really be a way to get out of the consequences of some of his actions, but that doesn't stop him from trying. O, after all, is quite the sweet talker. He almost always gets his way, for better or for worse. It is not to say that Oliver wouldn't do anything for his friends. He definitely would help if someone directly asked him for something. And he absolutely shares his alcohol, weed, or whatever else substance very freely. It's just that if he needs to get truly serious or do something long-term, he's practically useless. Oliver doesn't mean that maliciously. However, his fear of commitment and undiagnosed ADD { because his parents totally believe he can be cured by cutting sugar out of his diet and that real doctors don't know shit, whereas O is just too stubborn to get it checked on } kind of cloud that ability. Oliver likes being known as the friend you turn to when you want a real adventure. Why would he ever want to compromise that?

𝓕𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓭 𝓖𝓻𝓸𝓾𝓹 𝓡𝓸𝓵𝓮 ⟡ The use of "the mom friend" connotes the much more terrifying existence of the . . . baby friend. Let's face it, everyone ends up taking a shift watching over little O. They're all quite aware of his destructive tendencies, and perhaps that would make them loathe being his friend. But he's not just another party boy that needs to get sober. He is much more inclined to do something dangerous and out-of-ordinary. Oliver gives life a meaningful thrill ride. Hanging out with him is its own kind of drug. His wild ideas and experiments keep things interesting. He reminds others to lighten up or simply try something new. Maybe you don't know when his dumb ass will stop sleeping in your living room. But you do know that he absolutely adores you once you're his close friend. He can be a lot. Everyone has probably yelled at him at least once, which was totally called for. But that signature O charm can never leave a rift open for too long. He's stupidly lovable, which has become a blessing and a curse.

𝓖𝓸𝓪𝓵𝓼 & 𝓓𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓶𝓼 ⟡ It is against Oliver's nature to make concrete plans about what he wants. His goals and dreams seem to shift like the sand. He knows he adores his new band and wants them to do well. He also knows he wants to graduate from university and find a job that pays him real money, preferably where he can use his degree. But whatever on that, as long as he can afford to keep up his adventurous lifestyle.
𝓕𝓮𝓪𝓻𝓼 & 𝓘𝓷𝓼𝓮𝓬𝓾𝓻𝓲𝓽𝓲𝓮𝓼 ⟡ O fears getting hurt, which he associates with settling down. He also hates the idea of ending up anything like his parents. He is constantly feigning indifference, but he is terrified of his own possible ignorance. The mundane. Being fake. Not knowing himself truly. Being abandoned by his friends because they can't put up with his shit anymore. The list goes on and on. But what else is denial for?

𝓢𝓽𝓻𝓮𝓷𝓰𝓽𝓱𝓼 ⟡ An insane memory that means he never has to try that hard in school or basically anything | charismatic as fuck | naturally quite funny but in a sarcastic, depreciating way mostly | good at playing the guitar but not at actually making music with his band | bringing others out of their shell | flirting with and seducing people | lying but he calls it charming others like it's some dumb magic spell . . . which maybe is kind of accurate
𝓦𝓮𝓪𝓴𝓷𝓮𝓼𝓼𝓮𝓼 ⟡ Can't cook for shit | still doesn't have a driver's license so is always taking the bus and using it as an excuse to be late for literally everything ever { lie to him about the starting time if you want him to show up even remotely on time } | the worst handwriting | never opens his own pickle jar | a loud drunk | disorganized | can't focus

𝓟𝓸𝓼𝓽-𝓖𝓻𝓪𝓭𝓾𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷 𝓟𝓵𝓪𝓷𝓼 ⟡ O has absolutely no idea. That's way too far away. He lowkey has been saving money, and he's kind of planning on blowing it by doing the bullshit "backpack across Asia" thing. However, turning into a girl who is trying to turn into a dragon is complicating just about everything. So. Who the fuck knows what he will be up. O certainly doesn't waste his time thinking about it.

Oliver is quite openly ashamed of his family. His parents used to be wealthy owners of a hotel chain, and while he can appreciate giving back to the community, it's not quite the same as forsaking everything and becoming wild, anti-vaccination hippies. He almost never goes home, even on long summer breaks, which leaves him often bouncing from couch to couch of his friends or taking odd jobs. His resume, although not full of anything that impressive, is a hilarious hodgepodge of all the odds and ends he has become a part of. Most people would never guess that someone so wild and all over the place wants to work in STEM. Call it a direct rebellion to what his parents stand for, but O is very proud of his interest in science and facts, instead of "holistic bullshit."

Unfortunately, he lacks focus. If he's not strumming away with his incredibly awful band, Vertical Alleyway, then he's probably getting chewed out by his roommates again for trying to bring a goat home or disappearing for a week without telling anyone. He doesn't like to be reminded how unreliable he can be; doesn't Oliver's heart of gold make up for something like that? * insert eye roll here. * So far, he gets by in life through charisma and acting alone, but that surface-level bullshit can only get him so far in the normal world. Perhaps it's a good thing that the definition of normal has drastically changed for all of them these days.

This is actually the part I'm more conflicted about! I'm thinking of having him spontaneously wake up as Rumios every once and awhile. Like legitimate full transformation. And so he never knows who he is gonna be each day. But that won't be for awhile, since that's obviously quite a powerful magic. For sure, he will start to transform into her without knowing at all; his manners have always been a bit crude. And he loves dragons. So? How different is it? { Eventually, very different, but not when you're in deep deep denial like he will be! } However, the ultimate goal of Rumios is actually to turn into a dragon. So. When that starts to happen to Oliver . . . things are gonna get EXTRA interesting.

In the valley of one of Engales' many warring nations, vicious invaders attacked a small province on the border. They were helpless. The Duke gave his life on the field of battle, and the Duchess lost hers in the invasion of the castle. As for the rest of the capital . . . it was a choice between murder or slavery. Buildings turned to ash or rubble. Life was completely destroyed. That was the way of the invaders: leave nothing behind.

The Duke's infant daughter only alone survived because a brave soldier was ordered to sneak away with her. Unfortunately, he sustained fatal injuries while trying to get out of the city. He could only think of one thing that could give her any hope: the crystal dragon in the nearby mountain. It took the last of his strength to climb the summit. It is impossible to say why the dragon, Kyzyd, entertained the dying wish. "I will not raise her for revenge," he swore. "Revenge is a petty, human trait that I have no support for." The guard did not care. All he wanted was for her to be alive. So under the wing of such a powerful, strange parentage, Rumios grew from fussing baby to curious toddler. From reckless child to ferocious teen. She saw no difference between herself and the only father she had ever known.

Kyzyd found the entire experiment of her life quite amusing. The dragon thought he would merely keep her alive; he didn't expect to come to love her. Always on the run from hunters and other human vermin, Mio has grown to detest the species that she comes from. There is quite the heart of fire within her. Perhaps spending so much time with a dragon did alter her . . . however, it is not enough. After nearly killing herself again in an attempt to fly, Kyzyd revealed that she is merely a human after all. Beyond disgusted and horrified, Rumios took off, determined to find a way to become a real dragon. She is brutish and innocent of the world around her, but Mio has surprising tenacity. Her ruthlessness might be handy, too, if her general naïveté of just about everything non-dragon related doesn’t get her killed first.

𝓟𝓱𝔂𝓼𝓲𝓬𝓪𝓵 𝓓𝓮𝓼𝓬𝓻𝓲𝓹𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷 ⟡ For all intents and purposes, Rumios is a regular human. She certainly looks like one for now, as her quest to become a dragon has gone nowhere so far. Beauty means nothing to her, so she does not care about her full lips or delicate features. They are human. They are weak. They are despicable. She keeps her hair long but tied up; her braid has been known to whip like a tail, which she quite likes. It is, however, her eyes that give her away. So human. So wide and lost. You can see through her: her fears, her insecurities, her childlike nature. She might not be "good," but Mio certainly isn't evil. She never takes her armor off, which was a special gift from the large horde of her father. The same goes for her impressive sword. It is practically attached to her hand, as she has yet to trust anyone enough to let it out of her grasp for even a moment.

Mio will be portrayed by the model Paula Montes. I have not yet decided on the kind of dragon she will turn into. I'm thinking a Mercury Dragon, which will mean bright silver scales almost like a mirror finish. They are smaller for dragons and have a long tail, so I think that will certainly play into it. I absolutely want this character to accidentally grow horns and scales in the real world at some point. We will see how I get there haha.
