Profile
FORTE HAS TWO VERSIONS: a version used in Labyrinth-OCT on deviantART (2019-2020), and an "original"/2.0 version used in his canon setting (2020+). Both Fortes have different designs and slightly different backstories (Labyrinth Forte, for example, is not missing his hand). The information provided below is for his CANON/2.0 version, but most info can be applied to his Labyrinth version too!
Nicknames:“Forty”, "Fort", “Dumb Dying Rozenich” (Kinsey only)
Species: Rozenich
Gender: Male
Age: Adult (human equivalent 40-ish)
Height: 5 feet 8 inches
Weight: 140~ lbs. Personality:
Forte is an intelligent, well-spoken rozenich who often comes off snobbish upon first impressions. He is not one to joke around or, honestly, act happy at all in front of strangers or those he distrusts. From an outsider’s perspective, he just looks miserable, stand-offish, and proud of himself, albeit still behaving politely. Once his shell is broken through, however, he is respectable and much more pleasant. Passionate for problem-solving, he’s eager to help when asked (although one must ask, he is not fond of volunteering without permission, not because he doesn’t want to but more-so because he fears he will simply get in the way). When someone is close to him, he will make plenty of snide remarks or jokes, although sometimes he can take them too far and is unaware when he hurts people’s feelings when doing so. He will be swift to apologize if brought up; he tends to carry guilt otherwise. His biggest flaw is his lack of self-confidence. Often, his prideful boasting is simply a cracked facade. Other:
• Forte is the McGuyver of rozenich. He can craft just about anything from little material presented to him.
• His favorite things to craft are prey traps. He can devise practically every kind of live or kill trap for any creature: big, small, or sapient.
• Forte also breeds several small species of native fauna (buggies). While initially doing so just to test his traps, his farming of the creatures provides ample trading supplies for him. Want a small pet? He's got you. Want a snack? Grab a handful. Need bait for larger prey? Gotcha covered. These are ant-farm styled setups, meaning they are not considered livestock. Most are small, insect-sized with the biggest he has graduated to being no bigger than a crab.
• Because he cannot engage in much physical activity, he often acts as babysitter for the tribe’s young. While he won’t admit it, it’s evident he enjoys this job and has a fondness for children. Dad Forte is canon.
• Forte may often be sought for advice regarding rozenich suffering similar ailments as his own. He may particularly be given responsibility for tutoring young chicks born with physical issues that need help adjusting. Likes:
•Being helpful
• Artwork and sculptures (admiring them)
• Cuddling/snuggling (secretly!) Dislikes:
• Filth or messiness (and being dirty)
• Being bossed around
• Oversleeping Misc. Facts:
• Forte is demisexual. Specifically, this means (unlike most rozenich) he has little to no interest in engaging in sexual activities and only finds others attractive if he grows to share a bond with them.
• Forte speaks eloquently and formally. Sometimes he will throw out a show-offy dictionary term or phrase that'll make you scratch your head, but usually it is at least understandable, even if a touch fancy.
• Forte is missing his hand from mid-forearm down. His eye is also entirely gone. To add to the laundry list, he also suffers from an autoimmune disease similar to lupus that the rozenich call "Eversleep".
