Florin is the protagonist of the story “The Littlest Adventurer”. The story follows him as he explores and learns the past, present and future of the Kingdom of Rafalia and its odd inhabitants.

Don’t take his small stature and cute face for a sign of weakness however, because this little guy makes up for his size with his craftiness and great use of resources. His durability and ever eager personality makes it easy for Florin to continue forward despite harsh setbacks, these aspects also help in gaining the favor of many whom he meets.

Despite his general ‘sunshine’ personality, Florin shows a remarkable amount of calmness, especially when compared to the more boisterous personalities that reside within his group of adventurers. This calm and almost sleepy demeanor comes in full throttle when the sun is obstructed. During the night, an overcast day or inside somewhere, Florin’s usual bright energy is harder to maintain, as he pulls energy from the sun’s rays.

As Florin continues to journey around, he gains many companions whom he titles his venturing buddies. Undeterred by their personal reasons to journey with him, Florin loves all his buddies dearly and strives to help them reach their own goals and find their own happiness.


Likes

  • Cheese
  • Tea Parties
  • His Homeland

  • Perseverant and Selfless

    Florin’s selfless nature evidently first shows when he nominates himself to leave the island that is all he’s ever known, to search out for a way to save it from sinking into the sea the following year.
    Despite the overwhelming responsibility placed upon him, Florin is driven by his love for his fellow Mutates and the land he grew up on. This drive allows him to bounce back and push forward.
    His perseverance grows even stronger as he continues to make new acquaintances and friends. Driven to help them and cheer them on, he finds he’s also strengthened seeing them succeed.


Dislikes

  • Fire
  • Business Men
  • Staying Indoors

  • Naive and Moldable

    In the culture of the Flower Mutates, Florin is considered a young adult. Despite that, once he’s introduced to the outside world he acts just like a young child, learning how this strange new world works, including that not all creatures are good and pure.
    This makes him pretty naive in the beginning of his journey.
    Due to all these new experiences and people, Florin often mimics those around him. Because his mental and emotional states grow exponentially faster than human children, every interaction with someone can be important to who he becomes.
  • Crafty

    Florin learned to care for himself early on in his life. While Flower Mutates live together in communities, they support each other and all bring something to the table.
    Florin’s drive for adventure also caused him to usually be away from the communities of Mutates, meaning most of the time he was fully self-sufficient. These facts cause Florin to know a lot about the world around him and to be a resourceful little guy.

Florin is a Six Inch tall Sunflower Mutate. Due to his size, Florin clothes and arms himself in similar sized objects.

Physical Features


Hair: Florin’s hair is a collection of golden flower petals. His hair will move upwards under direct sunlight.

Eyes: The sclera (the whites of the eyes) is a dark brown, while the color & pupils are a cloudy white. His eyes are usually noted as having a ‘puppy like’ appearance, being quite big and round. They have been used well by Florin and those around him to change others minds.

Skin: His skin is a light tan color, though the lightness or darkness of his skin can slightly change depending on the environment around him. He’s usually seen with a few bumps and bruises over his body.

Body: Due to his younger age, Florin doesn’t have very defined muscles, but he is fit due to his constant exploring. Florin also has a scar across his torso, stretching across his stomach.

6SYcUZa.png Flower Mutates: Flower Mutates reproduce through their pistil and anthers. The pistil and anthers are rarely seen as they are protected by the hats the flower mutates wear (This is a newer addition so some drawings of Florin without a hat may not include the pistil or anthers).
If a flower mutate isn’t wearing their hat, you are able to see the stigma part of the pistil sprouting from the crown of their head. On both sides of the stigma is an anther held onto a short filament (the look mimics antennas on bugs). Due to their reproductive organs being elsewhere, Flower Mutates (including Florin) don’t have any human-like unmentionables. They also don’t possess belly buttons.

Daytime Clothing


Mushroom: During the day, Florin protects and shades his head with a Fly Agaric mushroom. Due to their bright color, it serves as a warning, detering would be predators from biting into Florin. The mushroom has a hollow base where the stalk usually is, leaving a hole for Florin to put his head into. He also uses a small vine to tie the mushroom onto his head (the tie ties under his chin).

Shawl: Covering half of his torso is a small shawl made from leaves. The shawl is one full piece of clothing (excluding the collar which is attached) that is fastened at the front with a mini safety pin.

Pants: Florin’s pants are two large pieces of fabric (likely scrap fabric that Florin came across, potentially a crafted fabric from other Flower Mutates.) that are sewn together at the sides. The belt and leg ties are simply just vines, allowing Florin to easily adjust the tightness.

Shoes: Florin’s shoes are small red boots, likely from a children’s doll. During wet weather they squeak.

Nighttime Clothing

Simple Outfit: During the night, Florin tends to sleep, however if he decides to eat food he can remain awake during the night. His usual night outfit consists of a simple shirt (a petal shirt may no longer be the type of shirt) and shorts.

Cloak: He covers himself in a large cloak and uses it as protection and a blanket. The fabric is likely plant based, though it could be scrap fabric. The cloak is dual layered, having a more hearty and maroon-colored outside layer that’s better at facing the elements and a softer and warmer inner layer that’s a deep blue in color. The cloak has a large hood and around the neck is a circle of leaves, serving both as decoration and camouflage. The small bead and thread acts as a fastener, and can tighten or loosen the cloak.

Accessories


Florin carries along with him many accessories and he finds much delight in collecting knick knacks.

Bag: Strung across his body is a simple yellow messenger bag. A small button is used to close the bag. Fastened to the back of the bag with a safety pin is a sheath which houses a sewing needle, Florin’s mighty weapon.

Stick: Florin also carries along with him a walking stick. The stick is a small branch from the Mother Tree and is a very important item to him. He adorns the stick with beads, and during the night the walking stick will sprout small bioluminescent mushrooms, allowing Florin to see despite the darkness.

Vines: Wrapping all around Florin are small vines. These vines serve as extensions of the Flower Mutates. As they grow and mature they gain better control over the vines, and use them in many different ways. Florin usually has his vines wrap around his arms and legs. (When holding his walking stick, the vines are usually assisting him in keeping hold of the stick, otherwise he’ll usually sling the stick along his back with the assistance of the vines.) During the night, the frigid cold causes the vines to retreat to the warmth of the torso of Flower Mutates.

  • Plant Manipulation

    All Flower Mutates possess the ability to keep plants and fungi alive, even after being removed from the ground (or where else they reside).
    At the deficit of their own energy, Flower Mutates can imbue flora and funga with energy, causing them to grow at a rapid pace. Because the process costs energy, Florin often uses this skill in emergency situations or when a reliable food source is available.

    Later in the story, it is found that the reason Flower Mutates are able to affect fungi along with plants is because they can actually affect all living things, but because of their limited energy, prolonging the life of animals was too costly to notice an effect.

  • Sweet Talker

    Flower Mutates hold a special relationship with other flora. Though not literally talking, Flower Mutates can communicate with other plants. This could be by sensing distress from a plant, thus being warned of an impending danger or being told from the plant’s distress that something is wrong with the soil.
    They are also able to communicate with one another through the plant’s roots.
  • Extra Sight

    Due to the close relationship of Flower Mutates to plants, their seperation from the ground or other flora causes a substantial loss of sight. However, on the flip side, connected to other flora allow Flower Mutates to see things hidden to humans, like creatures encased in the soil below.
  • Life Knowledge

    Florin is extremely knowledgeable of his fellow flora, fauna, and funga, which may not be surprising given that he himself is a mutated version of a plant. The daily worries of sorting the poisonous from the editable are no-more if this little lad is in your party.
  • Healing

    Going along with his knowledge, Florin has developed a skill for healing injuries and sicknesses. His healing skill starts out mainly tailored to Flower Mutates and other plants, however as he grows, he learns more about animals and humans.
    His healing is especially remarkable, due to the fact that he can keep essential medicinal herbs fresh.
