APHX-1270: Rhamphorhynchus
History
Rham was always an odd fellow, having grown up all alone in the wild depths of The Harrow. Many don't know how exactly he came to live there, but many correctly guess that his parents were traveling with his egg in tow through the Harrow and simply decided to aliven't after being attacked by a giant (specifically worm-like) monster. His egg having developed in the Harrow has had some effects on how he looks, and possibly his mentality. He himself isn't sure.
Rhamphorhynchus grew up alone, miraculously surving in a quite deadly environment. Due to this harsh upbringing Rham is an expert when it comes to survival in many ways, having extensive knowledge of plants and animals as well as crafting make-shift shelters. Often having tussles with monsters or angry plants he's also a fairly good healer, but not an expert at all, more of an amateur. Since He has such good knowledge he can be a lifesaver if you get stranded in the woods or another such place. Along with this He is one of the few Elyxians to actually or somewhat understand the Harrow so if visiting that place he's very useful and will happily share his knowledge.
During his time in the Harrow as a hatchling he only had one 'friend' who happened to be the infamous Four. Four was never a very good friend, being a trickster who mostly cared about himself but if it wasn't for this odd Aphex Rham would've never learnt how to comprehend language or 'speak' with his hands. As for the most part since Four was the only Aphex he'd ever met Rham simply thought that all Aphex were like Four and happened to imprint a bit on them.Sometimes he'd encounter travelers who were often worried about the fact that there was a hatchling out in the Harrow but often times they didn't make it out alive or Rham didn't want to cooperate.
As he grew older Rham made friends, something that he never thought that he'd have since he always felt alone. Along with this became a merchant, traveling from place to place through the former 'Americas' and selling the unique treasures that can only be found in the Harrow. Rham is fairly well known for his unusual wares such as the beautiful Aphex of Paradise and Scented Hornsbreath. On rare occasions he even sells exotic pets. Rhamphorhynchus doesn't often travel across sea, but with how successful he is as a merchant he'll sometimes go on vacations to EastHaven as he loves the cheerfulness and music. He even sometimes sells things across sea when he has the chance. However, Rham tries to avoid YellowSeed since its full of thieves and therefore his wares get stolen. He does go there when he's desperate though.
Ever since he was infected with Toxicas Licana Rhamphorhynchus has avoided places where security is high and such as he's heard that if others found out that he'd eitehr be killed or locked away and he'd hate for that to happen. As there is little to no law in YellowSeed he visits there more often and therefore has upped his security to make sure his things don't get stolen or he isn't kidnapped. In fact he's part of a group of Elyxians that visit once a month in a secret location who are all infected with the same life changing parasite. The group is generally just for them to help each other out with their duly lives and to just talk about their situation.
Personality
Rham is a kind fellow, always trying to help others whenever he can even if he doesn't exactly understand what they're looking for or trying to do. He's a talkative person, often walking up to strangers just to have a nice chat. Sometimes they talk back to him and other times they simply leave not wanting to be bothered by the odd goat eyed Aphex. He's outgoing and will often do things just because he wants to not thinking about the aftermath. Becuase of this he often ends up regretting things later on.
Having imprinted a bit on Four he believes that it's normal to not be scared of monsters, so whenever in the presence of another Elyxian he will pretend not to show fear since he feels he isn't supposed to due to how Four is never even phased. The very moment he figured out everyone had different personalities his mind was blown.
Rham has a fondness for bells, particularly the sound that they make. In fact he has a pair of bells periced to his ears so that he can always hear the pleasant sound. Along with this he also enjoys bird calls and other sorts of sounds made by animals, even the weird ones. Rham has taught himself several different animal calls and he enjoys having fun with them by sometimes scaring or even cheering up others with them.
Rhamphorhynchus walks in an odd way due to how he's so used to uneven ground that when walking conditions are great he simply has a bit of trouble. There's been many times where he's been tricked into selling things for less than they're worth or doing something that isn't exactly good. He's naive and has little to no knowledge about how things work outside of his birthplace and had a panic attack the first time he saw a fish thinking it was going to drown.
Ever since the 'Parasite Thing' he's been more reclusive, actually spending time at his more permanent house located on a cliff in the Harrow. He still travels though as he's grown skilled at hiding his infection and only those with great skill at noticing things can detect something's wrong with him if he's not hungry or showing physical differences at all. In his knapsack there's always plenty of food so he never gets hungry to the point of cannibalism or becoming feral. This isn't a great thing becuase when you see an Aphex walking around with beef jerky something is up.
Being infected with Toxicas isn't comepletly a bad thing, its granted him great strength, along with a high amount of adaptibility such as growing extra limbs, eyes, or even other body modifications. There was even a time Rham was able to fit himself into a pipe after making himself softer. Just becuase he's capable of doing this doesn't mean it's easy or that he's good at it. Even with thorough practice he hasn't been able to do much shapeshifting consciously. It's easier for him to do it the more feral he is but he'd hate to allow himself to become a monster and unwillingly hurt someone.
