EDIT 5/18/13: AHHHH DYING I'M SO EXCITED also wow sorry about the app glitching out in certain places, it's called me being dumb with picture editing.
EDIT 5/17/13: Fixed his wings~!
Hi guys! This is my application for #Eromania, which has inspired me beyond belief and oh my God look how beautiful. I wanna get in so badly, but I realize my app is wordy beyond belief. OTL To make it easier, I tried to italicize the most important things in these walls of text! Be warned, it probably won't make much sense without the full story, but hey, I tried, right? ; ;

Thank you for reading!


Full Name: Pip Aubergine Relish.
Nickname: Pip, Pipsqueak (in his younger days), Pipshit (among schoolmates now especially). He doesn't have very many nice nicknames!!
Age: 18 years old.
Gender: Male.
Title: Guarded Love.
House: Phileo.
Weapon: Pip wields two handbells. One of the bells is note E5 and the other is note F5. Neither of the bells are very large, only a little over four inches in diameter and each only weigh just a few ounces. However, for such small instruments, they sure pack quite a sound. A few close-range rings without damping is all Pip needs to cause his enemies to nearly go deaf and make his getaway. Assuming these enemies have ears to deafen, of course, as these weapons are purely defensive and serve no offensive use, unless bashing the head of the enemy counts as such. But, ugh, how gross! Those bells are beautiful and shiny, and he certainly wouldn't want to damage them!

Personality: Pip is an interesting specimen. For one, he's hard to please, and generally regarded as a snob by everyone who has the misfortune of meeting him. If the object or the person in question does not fully meet his expectations, he will dismiss it as "lowly" or "inferior." To anything that soars above and beyond, it is merely "adequate." He's always very neat and cares a lot about how things appear; this extends from merely fixing his hair to full-scale deep cleaning his house. Despite being a critical commentator, he does love the quest for knowledge and fantastical adventure, and thus is a huge bookworm. And although he has read many books on all kinds of subject matter, it still does not stop him from jumping to conclusions every now and then, as he scares easily. He's a coward in every sense of the word, but out of every fear he has, he's mostly hydrophobic.

Biography: The strange thing about Pip, is that, although he acts like an obnoxious upper-class boy, his background isn't anything particularly outstanding, and he doesn't have any fame attached to his name. Despite being a well to-do boy in the comforts of old money, he tended to act like he was hot shit to compensate for his insecurities concerning fame and his perceived lack of funds when it came to other boys who had more than he did or benefited more from their status then he did. His family was generally supportive of most things he wanted to do, especially if money was not an issue, which it never was. His parents' obsession with money, however, even extended to their thinking and thus they taught him a skewed world vision: Those who had nothing were simply too lazy, and those with no connections didn't matter.

One thing they did do right, however, was teach Pip to love books. Both his parents were deep lovers of literature, and their encouragement of him reading classic literary works sparked an inner curiosity for him to continue his intellectual search. He devoured every book he came across, and his world knowledge drastically increased. It wasn't until he was 11 when he realized money couldn't solve his loneliness. In order to feel as if he belonged with the rest of the boys, he would have to extend his heart.

That was hard for him. However, one day, when his grandfather came back from a trip to Thailand, he gave Pip his very first pet: a betta fish. It wasn't a huge gesture for him to bring his grandson back a gift, however, Pip graciously took the fish and nursed it lovingly. He would spend hours upon hours practicing how to be "likeable" and "cool" to his new friend, and he would spend hours reading books to his fish. Although it may have seemed silly to anyone watching, Pip did enjoy his time and increase his social skills. He was even able to make a few friends, although others were definitely wary and suspicious of him due to his reputation of being a "pipshit."

The most trying period of his life, however, was a few weeks after his 18th birthday. An acquaintance of his was going to undergo intensive surgery soon, and would spend quite of bit of time in recovery. Pip, fretful and worried, wanted to show this person that he cared for them and that he wished the surgery would go well, but the words would not form. Time and time again, he would end up brushing them off and coldly offering demotivational phrases. Their relationship was slowly beginning to deteriorate, and mostly everyone Pip was "friends" with was losing patience. How could someone be so cruel during such a time?

Pip did realize he would have to remedy things, but how? Then, the idea came to him. The day before his acquaintance's surgery, he showed up, face grave, and wordlessly, shoved a tank in their arms. Inside that tank contained Pip's beloved beta fish, the one that he had seen through with for nearly seven years. He loved that fish with all his heart, and he wanted to make sure that this acquaintance knew that. In his roundabout, guarded way, he was able to clearly communicate his concern for this person, and he blew everyone, including himself, away with this unexpected kindess. To show thanks for his kindness, the acquaintance returned the fish to Pip, and the two were able to call each other friends. Venus, who was watching above, finally believed that this boy had what it took to truly be an Erote.

Later that night, Pip found the invitation sitting on his bed. Though he had his doubts, he was going to be graduating from high school soon, and he didn't really have any dreams or goals in mind. Money no longer concerned him as much as it once did. Besides, what was life without a little adventure?


So he took the risk. And it HURT. He spent many nights writhing and crying in his room, and his parents, though alarmed, didn't want to bother with their son when they had other things in their schedule. Finally, after two grueling weeks, his wings had sprouted and fully formed, and he was ready to take on the challenge.

TL;DR: PIP IS AN ICE KING BUT HIS ABILITY TO SHOVE FISH AT PEOPLE HAS WORKED WONDERS.

Likes:
:bulletblack:Books.
:bulletblack:The color green.
:bulletblack:Steak.
:bulletblack:Natural scenes, especially forests.
:bulletblack:Geek rock.
:bulletblack:Surprisingly, graphic novels and comic books.
:bulletblack:Even more surprisingly, otome and h-games. They're guilty pleasures.

Dislikes:
:bulletblack:WATER. Good God, this boy is terrified of it, and reduces to near hysterics whenever near a body of water big enough to fall into.
:bulletblack:Fire.
:bulletblack:Excessive heat.
:bulletblack:Socializing just to socialize, e.g. "small talk."
:bulletblack:Brawling/fistfights. HE'S TERRIFIED OF NOT LOOKING PRETTY LOL.
:bulletblack:Insects, esp. cockroaches because they're FILTHY AND VILE.
:bulletblack:Layla ew layla y u triflin'

Strengths: He's good at complaining. He's also a terrifically fast reader. Connecting to that, he's a stellar speller and great at grammar. He's pretty good at economics b/c it deals with money lol what a pompous prick. He's decently talented at the handbells since he enjoys practicing music quite a bit, though that's the only instrument he practices nowadays.

Weaknesses: He's terrible at sports. He's not very strong, and he loses his mind when it comes to the water so therefore, he can't swim! Despite being well read on English literature, he's really bad at languages and his accent is horrendous. Also, he can't sing.

Physical description: skinny lil white boy Pip is of average height, or maybe a little under average, and he stands at a fluctuating 5'09''. He is also of average build, with a bit of muscle on his arms and legs, although, ironically, he's got no strength to actually back that up. He's also pretty hairy on his arms and legs as well. Both his eyes and his hair are a dark brown, and his skin is super pale. In the summer months, he burns constantly. He's not too fond of his freckly complexion, but, eh, he's not too fussed over it either. He's got really pretty hands, though. The fingers are long and slender, and his palms are smooth to boot.

Voice: Ioan Gruffudd with a slightly more New-England intonation. Here's a link: [link]
Pet: Betta Fish named Rosseter. He's named after Sally Rosseter (nee Seton) from Mrs. Dalloway. He's kind of boring since he's a fish, but he's a good listener, and supposedly has a liking for poetry. He's also a trooper, having lived for about 7 years.
Extra:
:bulletblack:Babe is a Capricorn.
:bulletblack:He wears his gloves all the time because he plays the bells and you have to wear gloves to play them because the grease on your hands'll ruin them or something idk it's been years since I've played them
:bulletblack:His middle name literally means eggplant. Fucking. Eggplant. And it's in French to boot.
:bulletblack:His hair always swooshes to the right side(left for the viewers). Don't ask, it's supposed to be cool or something.
:bulletblack: Kinda unintentionally looks like David Tennant. Whoops.
:bulletblack: Probably a little ironic that he owns a fish considering that he's afraid of the water and that fish lives in a backyard heated pond to boot, but rest assured, he loves his fish enough to get over his anxiety. Also, the water in the pond is only like a foot and a half deep.
:bulletblack:His lip gloss be poppin' his lip gloss be cool, don't take him seriously all the time. :iconlazeplz:
