Sorrel Aienyz

PHYSICAL;

Body || Sorrel is a fairly average young man if someone just passes by without a thought. However, this is not necessarily the truth. Sorrel has golden brown skin, with dark reddish-brown hair that flops over his ears and gets into his eyes. A thick line goes over his bottom lip and down his chin, as well as two matching lines on the right side of his jaw. Across his cheeks and nose is a metal bar infused with his skin, where his mask attaches. If the air is poisonous to him, he need only attach his mask and the tubes to the mechanical backpack attached to his spine to filter the air so he can breathe properly. His neck has been covered by what appears to be a black fabric, but moves and feels just like the rest of his flesh.

Just like all Ayouei, Sorrel has a tube that attaches from the nape of his neck down to the backpack attached to his spine. Protruding from the backpack are three mechanical tentacles, who's hands are similar to that of a claw-machine. They are covered in metal scales, allowing them to move fluidly. Sorrel's left shoulder, 3/4ths of his left pectoral, and all of his left arm has been replaced by a bionic arm that mimics the same shape and function of his fleshy right one. Beneath his shirt, there is another patch of metal that has replaced his right hip from an accident. His right leg, below the knee, has all been replaced by a bionic leg which foot looks more like a hoof than a human foot. His left leg is similar, except it goes over the knee.

Clothes || Sorrel has very much adapted to the trends here on Earth, wearing everything from t-shirts to dress shirts. He seems to just love clothes in general, especially coats with elaborate designs and anything with long sleeves or hoods. As long as he can move in it or work in it, he loves it.

EXAMPLES: One & Two.

MENTAL;
Personality || Sorrel seems to be an anomaly among the Ayouei, with the amount of empathy he has. He is extremely observant, picking up on body language in a snap and reacting appropriately. He see's everyone as his equal, giving respect towards everyone until they prove that they do not deserve it - and even then, with less respect presented, he still gives it. Acting as a pillar of support for his peers, he has come off as an extraordinarily trustworthy person when in reality he just does not store whatever secrets are passed to him unless he finds them truthfully useful. Sorrel is loyal to a fault, being the type to go to war to protect his friends. That said, Sorrel has some trust issues, taking some time before he labels someone a friend. Friends are even more dotted upon, with Sorrels constant worry and concern for their well being.

Beneath his surface, Sorrel is a broken man. A shunned Aienyz, he had traveled to Earth in search of acceptance and a new start. But he is riddled with anxiety and a major case of self-deprivation, constantly punishing himself internally as things go wrong, even if they are not because of him. Sorrel is a man with a damaged but big heart, despite the pieces of him that he gives away to repair others. Though his happiness for others is genuine, Sorrel has a mental detachment from the world around him. He is afraid that if he, as he describes it, "pilots his own body once again" the incident that caused his shunning may happen again. He seems to be surrounded by people, but always alone.

Biography / History ||
Born three hundred years after the abandonment of his people on their home planet, Sorrel was born into a society that had already set its standards long ago. He was an anomaly among his peers, having too much care for those around him. His amount of empathy caused people to love him, and yet parents kept their children from him due to it. Ayouei were supposed to be neutral and not really care much about anyone who was not in their field - which was not to be chosen for years, so they were already in competition.

The Elders tried to fix something in his head, trying to get him to conform with the rest of his peers. But it was his equivalent of torture, his mind being forced in all different directions. He morphed to their standards, outwardly. All of his emotions were hidden for some time as he grew. Soon his elder brother had children, and he was an uncle. The Ayouei loved his nieces and nephews with all his heart, his empathy and love seeping out of the shells that he had made around himself. When his brother discovered his behavior, a fight broke out. The two fought, verbally and physically. Even with these three hundred plus years as their own planet, they could not afford to let emotions get in the way of their duties. They had to focus on their time here, to improve the world. Sorrel argued that his expression of emotions was to improve their world, as they needed to care for one another or even themselves to properly get as far as they need to.

The Elders became involved as the argument grew more and more public, before Eders shunned him, banishing him from his home. His little nephew, who had become more of a son than anything else, had cried as Sorrel was forced to pack up and leave. Sorrel too cried as his little nephew wept, clinging to his coat as he attempted to board the little vessel that would allow him to leave. The child was ripped away from his arms, sentenced to have the same brainwashing that he had been sentenced at a child. As much as it broke his heart, Sorrel wished for it to work. His precious little nephew.. He did not deserve to be banished as Sorrel had.

Even as he left, Sorrel knew he had planted some kind of seed in the minds of his peers. His kindness and care could not have gone unnoticed. Earth had always peeked his interest, so he traveled to the Space Station. There he had heard of Manta Carlos, and he had traveled.

Additional Information ||

• Since his birth name is rather weird, he uses his nickname while on Earth.
• The "!" in his name is a click of the tongue. Oey is supposed to be a purr/whir.
• His mechanical backpack has an add-on that allows him to translate his words to other languages. He's still working on getting them all downloaded, so right now he only has his Native Tongue, English, and French.
