APPEARANCE
Average sized for his age, though somewhat on the frail end. Numerous scars over his arms from repeated contact with electricity on puddled water. Emporio is Latino, but scant exposure to sun still leaves him sensitive to it. As a myth he has small claws, and vampire-like fangs. From his November trial, he has numerous star-shaped freckles across his cheeks and nose. Recently, his Myth Traits have further developed into slight vampirism; he enjoys the taste of blood (though is currently unaware of this), gaining sustenance from it. As well, he now burns severely with sun exposure.

PERSONALITY
Emporio is a nervous child, with little experience in socializing with others. Though he was able to reach out to and bond with a small number of prisoners within Green Dolphin, they were extenuating circumstances- they had a goal in common, or at the very least, were restricted to a small area of space.
Because of this, he tends to struggle with eye contact, or even confident interaction. He defaults to either leaving an area entirely, or even resorting to trivia in a conversation. When he does talk about himself, he flits between secrecy, and overly direct statements regarding his former circumstances. Statements that, removed from context, vary in their level of concern.
Despite being kind and helpful in nature, his aforementioned anxieties stand between him and being something more than a 'Myth'. While he's gaining confidence in his abilities and powers, he has yet to have the confidence necessary to truly be a 'Legend' as it were, essentially representing hesitance, fear, and sadness in his own right.

In person, his kind nature can often be discerned; he still shys away from direct interaction, but for the sake of gathering Lore will default to compliments and advice. Conversations regarding the persona of 'SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES' can be used to connect the name to Emporio, as he is obviously a child and myth, one sensitive to the cold and sun at that. He has revealed his name to a handful of people in person, but not online. As he moved to Tides with Suzi-Q, and mentioned her frequently before she disappeared, it can be ICly assumed he still resides with her.
'SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES'
Via mistypes and vague chatter regarding his life, it can be deduced that the face behind 'SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES' is 13. Descriptions of what creates a 'Ghost' of a building can lead people to connect this to his former residence within Talaria, as well as the fact that his homelife prior Folkmore was at minimum dangerous and unsuited for a child. As it is, Suzi-Q has very openly admitted to taking in a young boy who had 'no one to stay with', and since that time, due to his location in Tides, he has not noted that Suzi-Q is now gone; so it is assumed ICly that he still has a guardian. Please contact me if you wish for your character to make any deductions about him.
ABILITIES
GENERAL SKILLS
In addition to relative intelligence, Emporio is well read on a number of topics, to the point of delving into barely connected trivia during a conversation. He's quick thinking, and incredibly stealthy- even while dressed for otherwise. Among his skills appears to be the ability to take what he reads from a book and apply it to reality; he was capable of piloting a helicopter without issue on his first attempt, and is seen to be capable of driving a car, and firing a revolver handgun. This knowledge can be improvised and adapted as well; he was able to connect a 'ghost' computer from at best 1984, to function with 2011 internet.
BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE
Emporio's natural Stand, which he was born with- and possibly making use of even from his mother's womb. BDtH allows Emporio to reveal and interact with 'Ghost Objects' and 'Locations'. The simplest explanation for which is that a 'memory' imprinted upon the earth can be accessed by him provided a new structure has been built over it (though these structures are, in the words of Araki, 'made of Ghost'). Upon being shown the entrance to such a structure, a person can share this location with others and freely enter and exit. These rooms will always take the form of the destroyed structure in their 'prime moment', frozen in time. To this end, these objects and structures cannot leave lasting presence; weapons cannot cause damage, food can be tasted but not consumed, and appliances which were switched off at the time cannot be turned on. Likewise, objects that were 'on' will remain as such indefinitely.
Ghost objects can be removed from their locations, though only Emporio seems capable of storing them on his person- they can be shrunken down and compressed, which he takes advantage of by storing items in his navel.

ADDITIONAL CANON
SPOILERS: P6 FINAL EPISODE
Emporio bears a seconod Stand, which was implanted onto him through end series events. This Stand- Weather Report- is an incredibly powerful Stand, and seemingly sentient in activity. It manifests as a humanoid figure, and is fiercely protective of their partner, to the point it would prevent suicide if it felt necessary. Though considered a close range stand capable of immense physical force, its true power is in varied range weather phenomena; Weather Report is capable of anything under the umbrella of 'Weather Control', from a citywide rainstorm hurricane of tropical frogs, to a breathing 'space suit' formed of oxygen itself, to precise manipulation of rain droplets or freezing, to altering the very composition of a room's breathable air until it were pure Oxygen. While the Stand is Emporio's to control, its nature makes it difficult for him to do so- though Emporio's willingness to commit to research on the matter makes it an impressive threat.MISC
🌕 NOVEMBER TDM TRIAL - Completed with Henry Oak's assistance; his mother's sacrum bone was regained.
🌕 NOVEMBER TRIAL: ANTI-HERO - Resolved by end month. Emporio retained star shaped facial freckles as proof.
🌕 DECEMBER TRIAL - 'Skipped'; Emporio did not participate in these Trials.
🌕 JANUARY TRIAL: MUTING WINTER - Resolved; Emporio assisted others in caring and trading with dragons. He was given a golden scale that allows him to become a dragon for 30 minutes in return. (Appearance here; roughly the size of a large ox)
🌕 JANUARY TRIAL: FEAR ITSELF - Resolved; Emporio has blocked most of this trial from memory due to the trauma.
🌕 FEBRUARY TRIAL - Emporio participated in 'Most Fun I Ever Had'; he did not obtain anything through this Trial.
🌕 MARCH TRIAL - Succeeded; Emporio developed wings in Murmurations and shared in memories. The wings are formed of strings- they wrap around his torso when unraveled, and thread through this clothes to form the frames of butterfly wings when 'spread'. Water spreads across these to allow for flight. Additionally participated in Night Walker, adopting an Ohmu afterwards.
🌕 APRIL TRIAL - Unparticipated; Emporio did not take part in any of the trials of April, instead using the month to settle into his new home in Epiphany and adjust to his wings.
🌕 MAY TRIAL: NOW HERE'S WONDERWALL - Succeeded; Emporio was spirited away to the Barren Lands by Agrona, whereupon he came across a horse- unaware this horse is his former mortal enemy, he spent the month of May, as well as much of June, working with said horse to stay safe in the desert at a nearby oasis. The sphinxes create little issue- the wells have created more problems though.
🌕 JUNE TRIAL: PANDORA'S FOX - No Trial was partaken in. Emporio eventually made it through the desert without any issue. During this time, he made use of the 'Pandora's Fox' app to reach out to others in the spirit of friendship.
🌕 JULY TRIAL: EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE - Unparticipated; instead, Emporio used this month to rest and return to Epiphany, after a short time in Exile spent attempting lessons with Baba Yaga.
🌕 AUGUST NOTES - In addition to starting Droid-language lessons with Cal and BD-1, Emporio accepted help regarding more wing-friendly clothing from Delloso de la Rue after meeting them.
🌕 SEPTEMBER TRIAL - Less a trial, more an adventure; Tides was discovered, and Emporio made plans to move with Suzi-Q to one of the apartments there.
🌕 OCTOBER NOTES - A month focused on moving, and old friends. As an aside, his dragon scale has improved in time via studying with Baba Yaga.
🌕 NOVEMBER TRIAL - Participated in the trial, and successfully survived the Unseelie's Wild Hunt; obtained the ability to teleport between patches of light. Currently limited to line-of-sight, but may improve to light-within-the-region...provided he has permission.
🌕 DECEMBER NOTES - Lost Suzi-Q. Hid this, and celebrated holidays with Rue and their family + friends. Attempted to get gifts for those he knew.
🌕 JANUARY TRIAL - Participated in the Trial Visit to Never Fade. Met with King Magnifico, befriended a large nanny goat, won a goat plush at the arcade, and made a bracelet for his goat.
🌕 FEBRUARY NOTES - Celebrated his birthday, and that of Leia's friend Ezra. Primarily enjoyed it in the arcade.
🌕 MARCH TRIAL - Participated in the Trial, enjoying the Worlds Fair with Steve, Leia, and others. Created part of a robot to be constructed, and was rewarded with a mishmashed assistant.

AESTHETIC
Emporio's fashion varies somewhat, but with the basis set by his 'Anti-Hero', the below carry across roughly what types of things he tends to wear outside of especially cold weather.
