- 2'2'' long


- being made for a grad project automatically enrolls you at said college


- a balancing act of unstable magic to the point it's a funny trick to play on god
- so you know hermit crabs
- and you know how. they can switch in between shells
- yeah c:

- 'little plushie guy' and 'frankenstein's monster guy' are two different shells
- and 'he' is a vaporous whisper of magic that can switch between the two
- while he isn't tethered to either form, not being in on the life-magic hook by attaching himself to one would probably kill him
- as he's so weak he'd just get yoinked by the local deity

- does NOT do the 'flash into liquid/vapor magic and rearrange into your other form' thing



- the plushie form, which makes his magic be more condensed, is more stable and comfortable

- the corpse-creation form is. a dude.
- you can really only see his face + hands + tail at any given time
- the scars of being pieced together have faded over time, but there's still a seam and different coloring
- he's not young, he's a few decades old
- really the only signifer is that the obvious difference of markings/coloring on different parts of his body
- really cobbled together, this guy

- life magic, which lashes blood/flight magic to bone, corrupts to void magic upon death
- them scraping out the void magic by handn is a very impressive technical feat




- needs to be holding the doll/the body to shift from one to the other
- if he's separated from the form he's not in, can't shift
- so if he hands off the plushie for whatever reason, it's okay it's not weird
- and to be fair, he's RARELY in the plushie, since it's so hard to get around in it and pretty unprofessional regardless




- doesn't like talking about the 'why is he alive' thing and ignores it as much as he can





- sapient stuffed animal shows up at docks with a suspiciously large crate
- desperately doing party tricks by switching back and forth until the ship doctor comes out and goes 'oh yeah liutra will want to study this guy'


- his creator had zero interest in him after getting their grade
- leaving him to his own devices and studies
- and also the arcanist squashed the guy for breaking one of two rules the deities keep
- even if the arcanist can't vaccum the soul outta you, he sure can hit you with an elbow drop

- kyriaros crying and screaming with joy bc a second therapist was finally hired
- his notes are unintelligible so she transcripts stuff for bios even if she's not the one said dragon is seeing



- used to keeping a professional front during his time in the observatory
- and continues to upkeep it now that he's still a professional guy
-



- yes he knows how to psychoanalyze other dragons
- no he doesn't know how to psychoanalyze himself


- has a couple of pet fanrats
- got them at the recommendation to find something to do besides work
- so he went to a rat show with calana


- adopted apsigalais because wretched crimes against science gotta stay together
