Personality:
Mesidai is a heavily introverted teenager who spends most of his time on the internet where he is allowed to play the role of his internet persona, who is much more brave, blunt and social than who he is on the real life side of the computer screen. Online, he is a very active user on multiple social media sites, especially anything that is related to webcomics and has a large list of online friends, though he doesn't consider himself particularly close to any of them as he enjoys the anonymity of the internet and 'masking' his identity. He is loud enough and mocking enough online at times to have his own set of haters, of which he embraces publicly but causes him distress on the inside whenever he deals with them, prone to getting into arguments online even though he doesn't actually enjoy it. Sometimes, he can be quite the sarcastic troublemaker or even a troll online, so many on the net who know him have a mixed opinion of him.

Offline, Mesidai is a very different person from how he portrays himself on the internet. He's a shut-in who doesn't talk much and rarely interacts with the outside world. Staying at home all of the time, Mesidai's hobbies are limited to what he can do indoors and his social skills end up really lacking. While he is naturally a kinesthetic and hands-on type of learner, he doesn't realize this much as he spends most of his time interacting with the digital world where everything is visual and sound-based rather than anything tactile. He is very sensitive to touch, gaining information through how things physically feel to him, making his sense of touch his strongest sense. Detached, depressive and lonesome, he has a darker aura around him in the real world than he does online and has a fascination with the "dark side" of things, liking "creepier" types of artwork of monsters. However, there is still an innocence to him as he doesn't like being exposed to too much fictional gore and violence and while his own webcomic has dark undertones to the plot, the artistic style is bright and colorful with animal characters, concealing its true intentions to more literal audiences. Being an imaginative teenager living a life under the watchful eye of an overprotective parent, he dreams of and longs for adventure where he could be free and see the world the same way his characters do. He is also very distrustful of strangers and can be easily intimidated by those he is not familiar with.

It is when he is talking to Aidon online when Mesidai can finally feel cheerful, joke around and be happy in a relaxed way. The boys meet up online at the same time every afternoon and is the highlight of Mesidai's day. They spam links and memes, share videos and music, talk about everything, call each other names and sometimes play games together. When talking to Aidon, Mesidai can let loose and not worry about his depressive tendencies, loneliness and other problems that plague him in real life. Despite how much he trusts Aidon, he still holds a lot back from his friend, keeping secrets from Aidon that he had deemed to be 'too sad' to let his friend know about.

Bio:
Mesidai was born the middle child to his parents of different ethnic groups, having an older brother by seven years (Serik) and younger sister by five years (Tosia), and lived on a modest income allowing them to live comfortably in an average sized home. His father was a businessman in a new company and worked long hours, leaving the kids at home with their mother for extended periods of time, but still managed to maintain a positive, happy and healthy relationship with his family. Mesidai would often look up to his father and brother, wanting to be like them in their fearless demeanor and their desires to have adventures and change the world for the better. Mesidai's father was an avid outdoorsman with a particular interest in rock climbing and mountaineering, an interest that inevitably spread to his two sons, giving them dreams of someday becoming a great mountaineer like their father, who taught them from a young age in the basics of climbing. When he was far too young to go to climbing walls like what his brother was allowed to do, the young Mesidai would make piles of pillows and furniture to create his own "mountains" to climb and when he grew a little older, he was frequently climbing trees and anything else he could find that would give him a significant sense of elevation. On his first day of kindergarten, he even managed to get himself into trouble by moving the desks around to make a "mountain" for him to climb on. He also frequently got himself into trouble by making huge messes with anything that splattered everywhere, from paint to glue to mud.

Being a handful of a student in kindergarten with all of his "adventures" and lack of ability to sit still, Mesidai's teacher was frequently frustrated with him, especially when Mesidai wouldn't respond to her yelling and lecturing a majority of the time, seeming to completely ignore her. Mesidai was often punished in class for his lack of attentiveness and eventually, other kids started picking on him, calling him "slow" since he seemed to miss a lot of what people were saying and telling him. After doing poorly in class, his kindergarten teacher considered holding him back a year, but his father didn't have a particularly positive relationship with Mesidai's kindergarten teacher and insisted that Mesidai should at least try first grade because Mesidai had shown he was actually a very bright kid and he wanted to get Mesidai to a new school with a new group of kids. However, the difficulties in attentiveness and bullying from other kids continued for Mesidai in first grade, even worsening as the curriculum became more complicated and having to share the playground with older 2nd and 3rd graders. Mesidai started to feel depressed at school, even from this young age, but was noticed by another boy in his grade named Aidon who jumped into one of Mesidai's confrontations with some bullies and fought them off. It was the first time someone had defended Mesidai and from that moment on, Mesidai became like Aidon's shadow at school, hardly ever leaving the other boy's side and looking up to him for his strength.

Mesidai quickly became friends with Aidon and before long, Aidon was able to figure out Mesidai's issue with inattentiveness, discovering that Mesidai actually couldn't hear in his left ear and let the teacher and Mesidai's mother know. With the adults finally realizing that Mesidai was half-deaf, they were able to adjust their teaching and dealing with him appropriately and thus helped Mesidai do better in school. Aidon also made it a habit to always sit on Mesidai's right side so Mesidai would always be able to hear him clearly. The two became inseparable friends, having tons of adventures together, sharing each others' interests and never leaving the other behind.

Things changed when Mesidai was ten years old and his father announced that the company he worked for was opening a new office in a faraway town on the other side of the country, something that horrified the young Mesidai as he had learned to be very happy with his life the way it was. It was difficult for him to tell his best friend Aidon about the move and the young boy was practically in tears to say he would have to leave. The two of them promised to keep communicating with each other through the use of letters no matter how far away they were from each other. As part of their promise, they each took a branch from an old oak tree they used to climb on all the time, a tree that the city was about to cut down on the very day that Mesidai's family had planned to leave on.

Even with Aidon's communication, moving towns was extremely difficult on Mesidai, who had to get used to a new house, less places to play and explore, and having no friends to spend time with. Mesidai's issues with bullies returned after moving and there were no other students to defend him or understand his hearing issues. Luckily, he still had his brother and father who continued his interest in mountaineering and rock climbing, spending with the weekends with them whenever his dad was off work. Aidon was also a major light in Mesidai's life, always looking forward to his letters and phone calls, saving him on even the worst of days and never failing to bring a smile to his face.

Change hit Mesidai's life once again two years after moving when Aidon had planned to come visit Mesidai over a weekend, but for reasons Mesidai couldn't get himself to say, he told Aidon to cancel the trip and not visit. All that was known to Aidon was that whatever Mesidai's reasons, Mesidai was in tears and crying heavily when telling Aidon to not come visit. It was the last time either of them spoke of visiting or meeting each other in person.

The friendship between Mesidai and Aidon continued through the use of the internet when video chat clients became available and they could regularly chat face-to-face through their computers. It was an enjoyable time for the both of them, catching up with each other, messing around, spamming memes and internet links. Mesidai would regularly play guitar for Aidon, a relic of their time in beginning music classes back when they were in primary school together. Meeting up online became part of their daily routines at the end of the day once the stresses of school and other obligations had finished themselves.

One day, Aidon suggested they try playing a new game together as another way to spend time with each other, to which Mesidai hesitantly agreed. Mesidai knew he wasn't very good at playing games, but agreed because it would mean spending time with Aidon. In the end, they spent a lot of their summer break's free time on the game before slowing down in the fall when school returned to session. After a few months, Aidon brought it up with Mesidai that they should play it again. While the two of them were loading their game, something unexplainable happened and they ended up somewhere they hadn't seen before...

And so their adventure began.

Data Share Availability: Not yet

Powers:
None at this time.

Weapon: 
Mesidai's primary "weapons" are his collection of yo-yos that he carries in separate pockets all over his clothing. They vary in weight, size, shape and string length so he would have something ready for any situation or strategy that he deems fit. These yo-yos don't inflict much damage on their own and are often used as supplementary tools. For the most damage, they must be used at very close range, where Mesidai spins them for multiple, quick hits, having one in each hand. They are a freeform, stylish weapon that he can adjust to a wide range of situations, sacrificing damage for adaptability. He may dual-wield them.

He has four main yo-yos:
-Chaotic Eye, his largest, heaviest of the bunch and also the hardest hitting (the one pictured in the app art).
-Apocrypha, a heavily mechanized, bladed yo-yo made for combat. It is painted black with blue circles all over it.
-Screamer, a smaller yo-yo that makes a loud sound when used.
-Spirit, a smaller yo-yo that glows in the dark.

Stats:

  • Health: 4 | Magic: 0 | Strength: 2 | Defense: 2 | Speed: 2

Battling Style:
Mesidai is more of an observer than a fighter, working in a team with Aidon to point out openings and weak spots while Aidon is usually the one who does the bulk of the physical damage against an enemy. When he does fight, he is a close-to-mid range fighter who focuses on multi-hit combos rather than relying on power to do damage. His attacks are generally based on regular yo-yo tricks that may increase in complexity as time goes on as he gains more experience and practice.

Music Themes: ((still looking for something that fits))

Trivia:
*Mesidai is a fairly good guitar player, having been entrusted with Aidon's guitar when he moved away.
*He keeps a large fish tank in his room with a variety of saltwater fish, wishing he could have more pets but his mother doesn't allow him to have anything else as other pets are "too dangerous".
*His skill with a yo-yo was mostly self-taught via videos on the internet.
*He always stands/sits at Aidon's left side.
*No longer has aspirations or real goals in his life, merely taking up his hobbies to help pass the time and never thinks about what he would like to do in the future for a career.
*Collects keychains of favorite characters.
*When Mesidai wants to ignore someone, he angles his left ear towards said person and pretends he didn't hear them by accident.
*His goggles aren't just decorations but are functional. The left side has spectacles for looking closely up at objects while the right side has a miniature extending telescope to view things far away.
*He always introduces himself as "Mesidai". The only people he allows to call him by his real name are his family and Aidon.
*In the MMO that he played with Aidon, he was a sort of item collector and item specialist. One of his main skills was weapons and tools crafting.
*He is left-handed.
*INFP
*There is a tree branch hanging on Mesidai's bedroom wall coming from the same tree as the branch in Aidon's room.
*His current goal is simply to make his way back home with Aidon.
*He doesn't have much of an opinion on Celestials at this time.

RP Note:
Please keep in mind that when RPing with him, it'll be important to say where your character is located relative to Mesidai so I can know if Mesidai would hear them or not! If nothing is described in a post, I'll pick the side at random. He can hear if your character is to the front, right or behind him, but not if your character is to the left!
