❝Tell me what makes you tick❞ August Harrison (2/3)

Name

"I wanted to take this interview online but...oh well, I suppose this will have to do. It's in your best interest to keep me entertained, I don't like to be bored" they remarked not even looking up from the book they were reading, seeming more interested in it than the conversation. "If you must know it's August Harrison, there, happy now?"

↢Nickname↣
August chuckled under their breath some as they looked from their book over to you with a small smirk etched in their face "You really think I'd let you call me anything other than my name?" they questioned and scoffed "You're lucky I'm even letting you talk to me"
(Auggie, Harrison, Harry)

↢Age↣
"I'm a scholar student currently going to college...although I'm young, I'm not foolish. I'm nineteen, and while I know you didn't ask I'll tell you any way that my major is practically everything, I didn't want to miss out on the whole 'experience'"

↢Gender↣
August had gone back to his book not even acknowledging the question as he flipped his page and glanced to you before back at the book
(male)

↢Species↣
"A bold one are you? It's like you're asking for trouble...I like that" the male spoke as he sat up in his chair and crossed his legs, "You can...call me a hunter so to speak, I enjoy learning everything I can about different species, especially when I get to dissect live subjects" August explained as he closed his book and tapping his finger against the old leather cover. "Humans are pathetic creatures, I could never imagine being one, no...I'm definitely something special, something above even my species"
(half guardian angel and half demon was how it started out at birth, by now he's practically full demon with very little angel left. He's corrupted)

↢Sexuality↣
"You're rather annoying" August commented and went back to reading his book with a small sigh. "Tell you what, since I'm in a good mood we can play a game. Something I just made up on the spot..." he spoke and paused, "It's called stop asking August stupid questions or he might just steal your soul" the male said as he looked back over to you, "Catchy I know, you don't have to tell me" he remarked sarcastically
(Bi)

↢Nationality↣
August ignored the question and continued on with his game as he stood and slowly walked over to a window, "Let me tell you interviewer, that word itself I despise it. Why wonder where you come from when you don't want anything to do with it? Hm?" the male asked as he lifted up the window
(American, he was born in that very city)

↢Accent↣
"And here we arrive at our first stupid question, wow...I actually had hoped you would last a bit longer, that's alright though, that's fine" August spoke now pulling out a needle with white thread that was quite long and silky. Slowly he made his way back over, humming quietly to himself
(American)

Looks

↢Height↣
The male stopped at his destination, the chair you were sitting in and leaned over on the back so that his arms were wrapped around your neck in a backward hug, the threaded needle dangling from between his fingers. "Taller than you I can assure. What about you? What are your sizes? Shoe, arm, weight, height? How many teeth do you have, what do your vocal chords look like?" August started questioning as a sinister chuckle leaving his lips. Before there hadn't been much emotion in his voice, but now it seemed happy
(6'3)

↢AppearanceIrl/Anime





↢Eye color↣
"Do you love pain as much as I do? You must!" he cooed as his once dark brown eyes sparked to a bright crimson. The book that had been placed on August's chair suddenly started to float as it slowly hovered over to him and flipped to a blank page. As this happened August tightened his grip on you a bit and lowered his head down to your ear.
(Dark brown but can change to a vivid crimson)

↢Hair color↣
"How would you feel if I added you to my collection? You're not that bad looking but I'm positive I can improve you in many, many different ways. All you have to do is hande over your soul, but if you don't want to, I can always take it by choice. We love to take it by choice" he whispered almost a sort of echo emitting from him as horns started to swirl out of his head, poking just apart where his bangs were
(Black)

↢Skin tone↣
August let go and took the book as he then next took out a quill. Afterward, he proceeded to write something down before glancing back over to you, "It's no fun when people are actually dumb...I thought I'd have much more fun with you..." he trailed off the smile vanishing from his face as his eyes returned back to normal along with the horns disappearing just as quickly
(Porcelain)

↢Body type↣
"You don't deserve to see my body, not even look at me. You don't deserve to exist after emitting such stupidity" August spoke snatching the paper as he looked over it, from the window a crow came and perched, but then another, and another flew in until there were about five
(Tall and skinny with a slight athletic build but barely)

↢Scars❣Piercings❣Tattoos

"...Yet another stupid question. I'm surprised you had enough brain capacity to even write all of these questions down in legible handwriting" the male remarked. (He has ear piercings and a plethora of tattoos all over his body to remind him of different spells)

Personality

Positive
Precise| Anything and everything August does he has a vision in mind. The male isn't sloppy and put's great work into anything and everything he does. This can also make him quite the perfectionist and if something isn't done right, he'll do it again just to be sure. He takes notice of everything and is very detailed down to a 'T'. It can become a double-edged sword though because he can sometimes become too fixated on one thing, and while this can often lead to that thing being good, it's like looking through a keyhole when you could be looking through the door
Imaginative| August is actually really creative, in fact, he has a very inventive mindset. He's an inventor at heart and when it comes to making something new a waterfall of ideas are always stored up away somewhere. If he does something, you can expect it to be over the top, that, and sometimes very silly. Give him a toolbox and random gears and he'll give you a machine. August is much less machine inventive, and more so mad scientist genetic inventive though. He loves messing around with DNA and he's no stranger to it either. Something can always be improved in his eyes, especially mankind, and he believes he is just the guy to do it.
Methodical | The male likes to think, and when he's not thinking he's thinking about starting to think. He's very philosophical. August often dwells on every little thing, and even when he seems spaced out from thinking he's keeping track of his surroundings, thinking about his surroundings. Auggie is self-reliant and never once has ever had to depend on anyone in his life, even his mother. He likes to wonder about 'what ifs' things that could happen in the future or things that have happened in the past, this is what makes history and science his favorite subjects
Stotic | August is very good at hiding his emotions. Especially around other people. He's level-headed and it's very hard to get under his skin if he 'isnt in the mood'. Unless you're one of his experiments or new test subject, he could care less about you and your petty drama. The male shows you the side of him that he wants you to see, he hasn't ever had an emotion that wasn't caused by himself. Never once has he even ever cried. Calm and collected are words that could very well describe August, even if the world was threatening to explode in the next ten minutes he wouldn't break a sweat. His attitude would be, 'If it is going to happen, let it happen, I have done all I can.' However, if you do manage to get past his facade of emotions and to his more brighter side he is often very mischievous. A jack of all trades so to say, but in all August is never to be trusted, he is truly a mad-man

Negative
Sadistic | Auggie likes pain, plain and simple. He likes the sound of it, the look of it, the touch if it. In no way is he masochist though, it is strictly giving pain that excited him. For this reason, he often tortures his victims, pushing them to their weaknesses and seeing just how thin he can spread them. Werewolf? Let's coat their body in thin layers of silver and watch them scream. Fairy? Let's pluck their wings and then wait for it to regenerate. This isn't all to say he does it for mere fun. He has an entire book he keeps notes down of his 'findings'. Like to say that most werewolves can take about a couple ounces of wolfsbane before falling asleep, or fairies take on average 84 hours to regenerate their wings.

Egocentric | He has a god-complex, a sort of 'I am above it' kind of feel. Not narcissistic as in look how much better I am than you, I'm so good looking, but more so of a 'you are a pathetic being and don't deserve the air I breathe'. In many ways, much more intense. For this reason, it can often be hard for him to relate to other people or take them seriously. Normal things such as food and water become mundane and boring for him, his body over the years has become a vessel for many demons, and even those demons are feeding him thoughts and emotions on how 'lesser' they are than him
Apathetic | After a while of torturing human souls it's even harder to relate. He's forgotten how to feel, how to empathize. His heart has grown cold. While he has demon 'friends', creations, and birds, it's like once you reach the top of a snowy mountain, you can look down upon all the people around you, but only do you realize just how cold and lonely that life is. He'd never admit it, but one reason why he travels and views thousands of subjects is that he hopes to find someone who, just like him, is on a different mountain looking in the same direction

↢Likes↣
"Studying. I like it when I can test on my subjects. I like growing in power. I like pain and I'll state it rather blatantly, blood. Strangely enough, I also have a vast interest in inventing and photography as well. Lastly, I also like birds, they're the only creatures who can get away with being stupid because that's all they're capable of" the male remarked as he glanced over to the crows before approaching them

↢Dislikes↣
"People like you who are stupid. I also dislike it when I can't get my peace and quiet. Angels are rather annoying too, always wanting to obey and follow the rules. I almost turned out to be like one of them, a follower...I know better now though, I'm above it. My very existence is to bring a new rein to this pitiful world, do you understand?" August asked as he folded his arms and glanced over to you

↢Backstory↣

(A classic war between angels and demons, a play on Romeo and Juliet. Just as any good love story there was death and beauty in it all. As any other tale goes it starts off with a guardian angel named Ariel. Now, there are many types of angels who each are tasked with doing certain jobs. Guardian angels, in particular, are at birth, bound to one mortal on earth and they spend their entire lifetime watching, waiting to protect the people who have faith in them. When the mortal they were tasked to protects dies, the angels are allowed two choices, to be stripped of their wings and walk among the mortals, or be reborn and tasked at guarding another to continue the cycle. Ariel had a hard time ever keeping track of where her human was, she was too lenient and wasn't all that 'motherly' or 'nurturing' when it came to protecting her human. She always wanted her human to 'figure it out for themselves' but this was greatly frowned upon other guardians.

Demons, on the other hand, were created to create havoc in any way they could. With all sorts such as dream, nightmare, ritual, there was an opposite for each and every angel type. A ying to their yang. August's father, Melchom, was very good at what he did, making deals with greedy humans he was devious and on the most wanted list among the angels. On this particular day, he was making his rounds when he spotted Ariel with her human who was sleeping on a bench. The two got the chatting, one thing led to another, and before she knew it Ariel had fallen in love with the enemy over a course of months and secret meetings. She had made Melchom a bit more aware of holy things, while Melchom had slowly given her sin after sin with how gullible she was.

It was only a matter of time before the Angel council had gotten whiff of the secret love affair, but by then Ariel was already pregnant, and the two had planned to run away together, or what she was led to believe, Melchom had other plans, dark plans. He let himself get captured but begged the council that his unborn child wouldn't be cast out as purely sin when it was born. Considering they were well, angels, the council was very forgiving and promised him that in exchange for being captured, his child would be allowed a normal life. Ariel, on the other hand, was stripped of her wings and cast out of heaven during the trial, and when an angel is banished, they lose most of their powers but are granted one emergency use.

With her love of human nature, she became a librarian and a lover of human history. When August was born he was...to say the least, different. He was a complete mute and no matter how hard Ariel had tried to teach him she couldn't even get him to say ' Momma'. The male was a very quiet child, there wasn't a time that he didn't have his nose in a book, and when he did want to 'speak' he wrote his words down on paper and present it. Unknowingly to Ariel though, when she wasn't around, shadow demons would come and care for him. He considered them his friends and would often draw pictures depicting these 'shadow creatures' which horrified Ariel. As August grew in age, he slowly started to speak in words, but it was only if he really needed something, he was especially quiet unless alone and talking to the shadow creatures or animals. He loved birds, but as would any guardian angel with animals in general considering they had the ability to communicate with all living things. He would often stray towards birds and ask them about their day, who they saw, mundane things. After his bit of homeschooling, August was sent off to a public school at age 6, and although he was an outsider, he spent his days in the corner watching other children and wonder why they did what they did.

Over the years he soon grew bored of humans acting the same, doing the same over and over. When he complained to a shadow creature they presented him with a dark leather old book, promising that it would 'explain everything he could ever want to know'. Opening and reading the book changed the male in more ways than one. This being that it was his father's book and in it was different spells, guides, tips, anything, and everything he could have ever asked for. What August was most drawn to was a note that stated 'He was to finish his father's work', this is what sent him into a downward spiral of chaos. Straight from home August would practice, and practice more on himself and animals. But soon the small sacrifices couldn't suffice so he spent time luring children from school's to sleepovers only to really consume their souls.

His thirst for knowledge continued to grow with it as well as his grasp on reality. August would use the excuse of photography work to go on trips all around the world and travel to find new species. The male had always had a strange dark hatred for humans, but a vast fascination for other species. When August didn't tinker away he would invent, mixing and creating all sorts of different Frankenstein-like creatures. August even started to grow a business on selling his inventions to other hunters, but the difference between him and the hunters was at least they were merciful. He'd poke and prod at his victims often starving them for weeks on end just to see their reaction. Auggie surrounded himself with monsters of all sorts, but, he was the worst one of all)

↢Powers↣
"Like I'd tell you"
(It'd be easier to explain for each half of his. Firstly, for the angel side of him, he can communicate with all living creatures. August has the ability to fly via his wings which have been turned black by his demon side. Because Auggie is half guardian angel, he shares a special link with the person he was destined to protect. Not only this, but his wings are twice that of a normal angel's given his guardian status. His wings were created for protection, wrapping itself around two people so they're also quite thick and durable. However, this also means that his flying speed is barely average. He can't bring any sort of harm to them, and is forced into saving them even if it means his own death. This is the life of guardian angels. He also has the ability to sense the 'goodness' in someone, and can mildly heal small wounds. All of these abilities, however, are hard for him to do because most of his angel side has been snuffed out.

Now, as for his demonic side, his father is a shadow demon. These demons were known to lurk in the darkest of places and also were referred to as 'nightmare demons'. They feed on fear and can sense a person's fear. For August he can determine a person's fear, can travel via shadows, and has the ability to use the souls he has collected to do certain jobs. He has approximately 5 other demons harvested inside of his body. Each of these demons has made a deal with August that in exchange for power, he would allow them to use him as a vessel. These demons are usually inactive though because August has them under control, but often, at his weakest point, when he's asleep, the creatures will band together to form a shadow shell around his sleeping body to control him. The demons quarrel back and forth, apart they are weak, but together they are powerful. August can manipulate these demons in many ways allowing it to seem as if he's using telekinesis when in reality it was a demon doing whatever he so desires)

(The demons controlling him \/ )

↢Weakness↣
"The stupidity of others," August remarked sarcastically, folding his arms
(Strangely enough being that he is still technically part angel, this allows August to easily walk back and forth on holy ground. At the same time though, he can't overindulge in holy things or he'll start to get weakened and sick. Drinking a gallon of holy water, crosses everywhere ect. August also wears a cross necklace on him at all times, it's a sort of power limiter, he wears this so he can keep control of the demons he harbors . Light is another one of his weaknesses, he's strong in the night, and weaker in the day, especially summer.

The last thing that could stop him is his 'soulmate' that he has to protect. Seeing as he can't harm them and has to save them, it forces him against his will to do so. If played right you can have him wrapped around your finger)

↢Dream Job↣
"I plan to become a King, a God"

↢Occupations↣
"A collector. The best way to win a war is to gather information. I go around collecting information about other species and their souls only to later use it. However...mortals and my mother know me as a mild manner photographer" (He's also a college student and does his traveling on breaks. August keeps his specimen and creations inside of an abandoned factory guarded by lesser demons he hired)

Extra information◊

↢Pets↣
"You're seeing them right now, these crows are creatures I helped to improve. I gave them demonic souls and now they're able to function as well if not better than a human allow me to give you a demonstration..."
(August is a bird type of person, more specifically crows. He's not ever not seen without one)

Family
August leaned against the wall and snapped his fingers, all at once the crows flapped their wings becoming what seemed like wispy shadows as they cawed and flew around getting closer and closer, slashing and biting. It wasn't long before there was nothing left but a corpse. Afterward, he walked over humming the same tune from earlier, and once he put his book and paper inside of his satchel, he touched the corpse. It withered into ashes and his eyes started to bleed black goo. The male dropped to the floor and started to gasp for air as he then held his chest, coughing. The crows flew out the window and as if nothing had happened August slowly stood, wiped his tears, and walked out the door, but not before tossing a lit match onto the rug.
(His father has remained in purgatory and the two have never actually met. August's mother, on the other hand, has what she thinks is a good relationship when he is just merely using her goodwill for himself)

↢Fun Facts↣

August always carries around with him a satchel. This satchel has a multitude of handy things such as his father's book, some elixirs he's concocted, needles, tranquilizer darts, many chemicals along with his favorite weapon, a needle

The male is actually good 'friends' with Alec. More so he enjoys manipulating the male and Alec just thinks they're friends. They go to church together, and met when they were very young so they've known each other for practically their entire life

In his very essence, August is a mad scientist, he just won't admit it

↢Quotes↣

"What is it you truly desire mortal? I can give it to you, for a small price..."

"I cannot lead if I allow fools to stumble about before me."

"I am not smiling, I am threatening to smile. It is still a threat."

"They're puppets. I pull their strings, and then they dance."

"Do not try my patience"
