Nana of the Spinning Planet

Y'know! He just goes by Nana. He's also called Red Robes Nana as OOC shorthand, due to the abundance of Nanas. The Abundananas.

Oddly, he's seemed to get younger? Should be read about early 30s.

July 14th (Cancer) [This phase of him was created on April 2nd, secondarily making him an Aries]

Cis male (he/him)

Gay

An ex-Red Cloak living in hiding until further notice!

Deity, although one that's very weakened. He's grown a little stronger over time, but he certainly isn't the god he used to be.

... None. Necessarily. Though he is very, very certain of who and what he wants. Stressfully so, in fact, his feelings for the Drifter don't bring him much more than misery these days.

Well, he certainly did have one in the Red Cloaks, didn't he? Unfortunately, they all sorta... Like. Died. And the rare few that didn't have no real way of reaching him, and vice versa. So, for the time being, the Drifter is really all he has.

Shedding all that bulky old armor, Nana's appearance is truer to his actual body type - slender, bordering on dainty. Also, the dress and coat he wears all the time are so, so, soft and comfy. They're practically pajamas.

Nana's wit has sharpened quite a lot over the past six decades, it can be said that his insight and intelligence have nearly come to rival the state they were in 200 years ago. However, the trauma of losing just about everyone he cares about has taken its toll on him, leaving him a much more stressed-out, anxious, micro-managing and irritable man than he used to be. He has a tendency to over-plan, for example, and ruminate on problem-solving as a way of coping with the fear that quite literally everyone will leave him someday. Beyond that, though, oddly enough, there is a sort of weightless aspect to his personality. He's just starting to accept his own existence, so to speak, and no longer feels quite as much like he has to dehumanize himself, both in his own mind and out loud. He absolutely hasn't forgotten the monster he used to be, don't you worry, but it seems that more important things are distracting him from that self-loathing. He just doesn't have time for these things anymore! However, in the midst of all this, he's gained a sort of emotional dependence on the Drifter. In any other situation it wouldn't be quite as unhealthy as it is, but considering the Drifter is literally the only person who talks to him on a semi-regular basis [or hell, even at all], Nana struggles quite a bit more with allowing the Drifter to be his incomprehensible, enigmatic self during this time period. His traumatized mind can't take so much of the uncertainty anymore, in all areas it presents itself.

[wip - i really dont have enough to go off of juuuust yet, but the red cloaks are dead yall! he went into hiding to avoid mages who wanted to use him as a power source to summon some Ancient Evil Bullshit, but then sorta stayed in hiding after he and xephaniah had some sort of falling-out]

Freezing nights, snow and high winds, candlelight, the Drifter's visits, the rare times he feels he has some sort of purpose, protecting others, reading, tea, naps, flowers, the feeling of being watched

Burning days, humidity, pitch black darkness, too much silence, cryptic and/or mysterious bullshit that he can't immediately make sense of, the state of not knowing literally everything about everything, solitude... The feeling of being watched...

Intelligence, wisdom, hardiness, diligence, compassion, selflessness, charity, charisma, physical grace, gentleness, regained aptitude in navigating social situations

Anxiety, obsessive and compulsive thinking (and resulting micromanaging), fear of being abandoned, impatience (particularly with the Drifter's lack of 100% transparent, upfront honesty - or at least that's how it seems to Nana), irritability, hypocritical thinking at times, ultimately helplessness in the situation he's in

The more I look into my self, the more I fail to see something...
