♛ gracing the halls of the academy is aurelion "finch" tzaragotza from the region of wenchinka trasnavda. they are a cis male, use he/him pronouns, and look like diego tinoco. they are known to be of commoner blood and they are twenty years old. their gift is sound manipulation and they have been in the academy for three months. i hear that they are adaptable & disrespectful and they remind me of a blade tucked into a sleeve, the light touch of a billfold leaving a pocket, the bared teeth of a cornered animal. i guess that’s why they call them the delinquent. after their graduation, i can see them becoming a warrior when they go on to serve their king.
yerlo i’m skelly and this is my awful boy! he’s a little shit but i guess i love him anyway. read on and like this post if you’d like to plot or you can hmu on the group discord!!
bio!
though he would describe himself as born on the mean streets of trasnavda, aurelion was indeed born in a warm hut to loving parents on the outskirts of a larger wenchinkan village.
being born in wenchinka already meant being put at a larger disadvantage than most others born elsewhere. aurelion knew this from the beginning, being born into a family of seven. knew this when his parents had to work themselves to death, from when the food they brought home had to last days --- if not weeks.
being the middle child of seven had its advantages. mainly, no one ever missed him when he started sneaking out of the house & finding fun elsewhere. he was still a child when he fell in with the wrong crowd.
he was the youngest in a gang of thieves and rascals --- and the most valuable member when his powers came in early. at age ten, he was already mastering his every ability. with his help, his gang was able to perform any act in complete silence.
though, being the youngest, it left him out of the action. he became their warning noise, a whistle carried on the wind to warn of incoming trouble. he became their songbird, their canary in the coal mine, their finch. it’s then that he earns the nickname. then that he starts responding to that name and that name alone, aurelion forgotten in the hut he barely calls home anymore.
finch is fifteen when the leader of his little gang makes him an offer he can’t refuse: move to trasnavda, work for a larger crew there. squeeze pennies from every sucker on a street corner, where money flows through the gutters like blood in veins.
( little did finch know he was being sold. he had been merchandise in that exchange. )
at nineteen, he’s a master with a knife, a scrappy fighter, a shadow in the night ( mostly thanks to his power. he has never learned how to properly float through his surroundings given his advantage of controlling the noise he makes ).
he makes it to twenty without a problem. brushes with the law, close calls, closer escapes. a piece of merchandise in his crew, though a damn valuable one.
a month after his twentieth birthday, he is caught for good. this time, there’s no way out. they find his powers, give him a choice: join the academy or go to jail --- this time for good.
personality!
finch is a very prickly personality. he’s rude and disrespectful and would rather set fire to books than read them.
he only trusts a few people --- and most of them were in his gang which he was forced to leave behind, so! he’s not been very happy to be around the academy so far
that being said, when you get on his good side he’s pretty fun to be around! he’s a troublemaker, always looking for a way to disrupt some goody two-shoes’ day. a prankster at heart!
finch is, decidedly, very gay. he’s very private about this fact. and about most personal facts, actually.
if you ever get his real name, consider yourself blessed, tbh.
he’s a tough nut to crack because he’s all fight & fury, no talk & diplomacy
would fight his own ass in the desert
pinterest here!
connection ideas!
prankster pals: as mentioned above, finch is pretty mischievous when he gets going so maybe a partner in crime for his dealings would be neat!
friend from the past: this is pretty open --- either someone who knew him when he lived in wenchinka (5+ years ago now) or someone who met him when he moved to his new gang in trasnavda!
former gang members: ohoho how fun would THIS be... just hooligans being hooligans! again, would be either from wenchinka or trasnavda!
enemies: given that finch is such a prickly personality, he would have a few of these, i’m guessing. could be that he offended them ( very likely ), they offended him, they just don’t like him, or they just wanna get in a fistfight with him. someone just punch him in the face, he needs it!
someone who sees through all the prickliness?: listen. i don’t think it should be a secret that finch is soft under all his anger. he just needs someone to stick by him and be patient, get him to open up slowly!
