NAME: Attou Selig Hurste

[/b]: Atty
[/ul]AGE: twenty-eight
GENDER: male
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: pansexual

[/b]: n/a
RACE: yokai
[/ul]

POSITIVE PERSONALITY:

[/b] → He takes this to such extremes that it can actually double as a negative. Always taking things apart to see how the insides work, whether they be living or inanimate. Everything has the potential to pique his curiosity. Though he has an intense love for people with underlying mental traumas, and things that run on clockwork. His relentless questions can get a little irritating, but it's usually helpful to one person or another, in the end. Anything and everything he knows stays safely tucked away in the tangled maze that is his mind, no matter how insignificant it may seem. Unless, of course, he has some personal grudge against the person it pertains to.

SPONTANEOUS → A little spontaneity never hurt anyone too badly. Even if it may just be a lack of attention span, on his part. He can always be relied upon to provide some sort of entertainment in the form of a nonsensical monologue out of the blue, or a spur-of-the-moment drive across the country. More often than not, this also involves dragging a few 'lucky' others to tag along, whether they want to or not.

INTELLIGENT → As any good teacher should be, no? Even if there are a few other choice words that may describe it better than simply 'intelligent'. With his flighty attention span and tendency towards the random, he hardly seems like the type to be all that smart. Of course, he also seems an unlikely candidate to be a teacher. But looks never tell everything, and first impressions are almost always wrong. His intelligence is half the reason for his deep seated affection for biology and human anatomy. Wanting to know how things work, and how to make them work in situations that would usually destroy the entire process. He's only amused by the little things that people usually miss, because they're just to simple to take notice of them.

INDEPENDENT → Or perhaps, he's just stubborn. Whatever it is, it keeps him from relying too heavily on any given person for anything he knows he can do himself. All of his problems are secrets that he can solve himself, outside help only serves to complicate things, after all. Being strong willed as he is, Atty rarely has any trouble taking care of himself, or any of the rare personal issues that may arise to spite him. With his pride refusing to allow him to ask for help, he's become very resourceful, and he loves knowing that he'll never be the one begging at someone else's feet for help.

OPTIMISTIC → But in an almost pessimistic way. Always the positive thinker, Atty never has any doubts that things will turn out for the best. For him, anyways. Everything will turn out well on his end, even if it leaves someone else careening over a cliff, to crash onto the jagged rocks of despair. He like to think he can control everything that happens to him, and that he will always get his way. Being proven wrong is not possible, since he's never wrong. So he thinks.
[/ul]NEGATIVE PERSONALITY:

[/b] → To twist others around his fingers and knot them there, like string. is there any greater pleasure? Perhaps yes, but that doesn't mean he loves it any less. To word it simply, Atty is addicted to the feeling he gets from pulling on other people's puppet strings and watching them dance. Their reactions make him smile in twisted ways, especially if they don't realize they've been played, even after all is said and done. Even if someone somehow manages to turn his own game against him, he'll still find a way to twist the results to make it look like he planned them.

SADISTIC → As inappropriate as it may be for someone of his profession. Watching another living thing writhe beneath the heal of his boot fills him with an inexpressible glee. Whether the pain is physical, or psychological, as long as it isn't his own, he loves it. Teasing people in the cruelest of way, and picking at sensitive subjects is as much a hobby as it is a treat. As difficult as it is to do sometimes, he tries to keep this little bit a secret. From his student's, anyways.

ABSENT MINDED → Though, it would be more accurate to say that he has an extremely fickle attention span. Though it's easy to catch his interest, keeping it is nearly impossible. Always one to quickly lose interest in something, he hates being bored, more than anything else. Anything that doesn't seem 'fun' is quickly dropped as his brain continues it's relentless foraging for some kind of entertainment. This makes him seem spacey and inattentive, adding to the list of misconceptions that are often made about him, when judged by his appearance alone.

TEMPERAMENTAL → Despite his usually calm surface demeanor, he has an awful temper. Quick to get riled up, he keeps his aggressions tightly bottled away, letting them fester as something twisted. No matter how angry he gets, he'll always smile and speak pleasantly to whoever is responsible, even while his grudges dig their way deeper into his psyche, making permanent stains in his thoughts. His narcissistic point of view makes him more self assured than any one person should be. in his mismatched eyes, anyone who has the gall to try toying with his fragile moods deserves whatever divine punishment that may befall them. Even if that 'divine' judgment is usually passed by him.

JUDGMENTAL → In his case, this is usually synonymous with being hypocritical. He's always been quick to put people down for simple things that anyone else would have no problem overlooking. More often than not, it's something like posture or pronunciation, small things that don't carry any real significance. But every now and again, he finds something that reminds him of one of the little flaws that he denies having. Much to the dismay of the poor person who draws his attention in such a manner, he'll tease and taunt them for it without end. in doing so, he secretly hopes to humiliate them to the point of some sort of nervous breakdown. The rationale being that perhaps they'll obsess over it so much that they develop some new quirk that overshadows the one that mirrors his own.
[/ul]HOBBIES: Studying the beautiful complexities of the anatomy of living things ( as expected from a teacher specializing in Biology and Anatomy, no? ), taking apart complex pieces of machinery, painting, collecting knives, dissecting anything he can get away with, watching gory horror films, having highly philosophical conversation with himself.
FEARS: Suffocating in his sleep, being poisoned, being burned alive, having his airways blocked or constricted.
AMBITIONS: Find a permanent source of amusement, paint something that everyone will remember, discover a new type of poison, play a game of chess that lasts longer than two days.


POWER TITLE: Jorogumo

[/b]: Needless to say that he isn't very powerful as a spider. Not physically, at least. In his spider form, Atty is simply a black house spider. Very quick, and obviously able to fit into small places, he's very difficult to catch, which may or may not be a very good thing. Despite the nature of this particular type of spider, he is usually much more aggressive in this state than in his human form, relying more on instinct and releasing the aggression he usually keeps bottled up. As the name suggests, his spider form is completely jet black, lacking in any distinguishing marking other than perhaps his shape. He retains all of his senses at the cost of a great deal of his will power. More often than not, he uses this shape to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, or follow them without being noticed, for anywhere from a few minutes to a few days.
