Physical Description 

• Tall, lean kirin-mushroom guy
• The mushrooms aren't just growing on him; their hyphae are inside his body, woven in between his cells
  • If you chop them off, they'll grow back
• Usually has a pretty mellow look on his face
• His spots bioluminesce - he glows faintly in the dark
• Hands have three hoof-fingers
• Smells like books and leaf litter

Personality 

• Quiet, calm, serious
• Wants to know everything
• Curious, loves to learn
• Does work first - tries to get things done and out of the way quickly
• Collects everything
  • Especially miniatures, like miniature food and animals
• Needs every flat surface to have something on it

Likes 

• Fungi
• Writing
• Exploring
• Learning new things
• Quiet environments
• Having a small group of close friends
• Secluded woods and mountains
• Dark and cozy places to curl up and sleep

Dislikes 

• Predatory purveyors of preposterous pseudoscience
• Loud noises
• Dealing with and being in crowds of people
• Being wrong
• Dealing with ignorance
• "Friends" he isn't close with

Personal Info 

• Picks romance novels apart with Ivey when there's downtime at the library
  • Learned sign language so he could communicate with them more easily
  • They make comics together - they write, he draws - where no dialogue/plot points/setting/etc. from the original books is changed, but they do swap the genders of the protagonist and love interest
    • "How do you like this shitty dialogue NOW?" - Jeist
    • Look, a double standard - Ivey
• Enjoys the color teal
• Really bad at getting rid of the things he's collected, even when he has physically run out of places to put everything
• Allergic to leaf mold, which sucks
• Casually "researches" things for fun
• Biggest regrets: any times he argued some point and realized later he was wrong
  • The delayed embarrassment is overpowering
• Eats SO much chocolate
• Has eclectic music tastes
  • Usually doesn't know whether he's going to like a song when he starts listening to it - songs tend to grow on him over time
• Into muscular guys

Trivia 

• Used to be one of my three fursonas, along with Telly and Thunder.  Q has usurped their position, because I never used any of them in place of myself.
• His species used to be more ambiguous than it is now - he used to be some kind of fluffy dog-ish thing (as you can clearly see from the art of him I've gotten from other people), which I changed because I couldn't stand it
• Then I changed him again because I didn't like all the random-ass markings that high school me had slathered all over his design, and now he's a kirin
• In a high school anime, he'd be the one quiet smart kid who aces all his classes with his earbuds in
• Lawful Neutral
