Boysen Shire

"Oooh~? What's wrong? Cat got your tongue? Nyeh-ha!"

- Boysen Shire

Appearance:
I’m poor and can’t afford an artist. Also I have the precision of a drugged up hobo on a unicycle. Have some descriptions instead. Boysen appears as tall and slim, his left eye being yellow while the right is cyan. His hair is purple on the left-side and black on the right-side, spiking downwards and swaying freely with his movements. He wears an open middle-sleeved hooded purple and gray striped jacket with two holes on the top (for his cat-ears), the inside of it being matted with black-fur. Underneath it he wears a plain lavender v-neck, his legs being covered down to his calves by black slim-jeans held up by a brown belt. His feet are covered by gray sneakers.

In the sense of accessories, he doesn't have much, if any. His single visible accessory is a metallic looped earring hooked on his right ear. On his exposed forearm and calf are black tribal tattoos. On his head are purple cat-ears that are gray-tipped, a fake matching tail being sewn into pants that swings around limply.

Personality:
A trickster cat who takes pleasure in bothering and annoying others. His crafty nature and uncanny levels of intelligence make him remarkably annoying when dealing with. When asked something, he’ll often dance around the topic in circles for his own amusement, doing the same for just about any task given to him and answering or completing it at the last possible second. Has a wide humored grin that appears plastered onto his face, appearing condescending at times. He’s hardly never seen not grinning, not matter how odd or dire a situation.

In situations where his life's in danger, he’ll continue to laugh with a grin on his face and respond in such a way. “Oh, is that so~. Nyah-ha! Looks like the end for me!” He’s unnervingly cheerful, often laughing at everything. He’s fairly laid back, lazing around and doing nothing, but will actively seek out someone to bother for attention to amuse himself. Due to a condition he was born with, he can’t tell between “right” or “wrong,” and neither can he tell if what he’s doing “wrong” or “harmful.” If he hurts someone, he won’t understand why they’re hurt, so he doesn’t bother with it. This doesn’t mean he isn’t capable of understanding people, he’s just incapable of understanding their pain and sorrow.

His guilty conscience is non-existent, and he says he often feels an odd compulsion to annoy people and bring slight malice that won’t settle down until he does so. He borders on something between a “troll” and a pure sadist. Despite all these traits, he happens to enjoy helping others quite a bit, so long as he annoys them all the way. Through all this, he ends up getting queasy at the sight and smell of food, bordering on downright sick the longer he’s near it. He has to eat his food very slowly, if not, then his body will purge it back up. Something that bothers him endlessly.

Backstory:
Boysen is the biological son of Countess Rossot Shire, the infamous mad woman responsible for the “Gula” incidents. Born from a scandal between Rossot and her chef, something that was never intended to happen. Rossot had no desire to raise the young Boysen, but decided to do so after contemplating how he’d taste like should she raise him.

He was raised solely by his mother, his father being eaten by Rossot shortly after his birth. She fed him all kinds of foods from a young age, from the most rare of delicacies to the most horrid of atrocities, all in order to “fatten” him up. The overabundance of food being force fed to him constantly lead to his body purging most of it after consumption, something which would lead to Rossot feeding him more, which lead to his body purging it more.

It was an odd hell for him, an endless cycle that continued until he was eight years old. At this age, Rossot oddly cooked him a meal herself, placing a kiss on his head before she left the house and him entirely. Shortly after, authorities broke into the house, only to find it entirely empty save for Boysen. Confused to what was happening as he wasn't fully aware of his mother's crimes, he was taken and adopted by the well known and respected judge Bazul Galleron.

There were several differences between his new and old home, mainly the introduction of a younger sister, Alice Galleron. At first, Boysen didn’t like his home much, and threw up constantly at every meal as a side-effect from the years of gourging his mother put him through. He warmed up over-time eventually, growing fond of teasing and bothering his younger sister. It slowly spread to everyone else in town, even his adoptive father, as he constantly played pranks and got under their skins.

Thanks to his condition, he didn’t particular care what they thought no matter how many times he was told to stop, leading to his label as a delinquent. On his thirteenth birthday, his father gave him the surprise present of hiring a Hunter as a tutor to train him. It wasn’t something he particularly wanted, but he wasn’t going to turn away free training either, so he took it. He had a certain knack for it, and not being able to think of any other career to focus on, he decided he would stay and focus on the path of a Hunter.

He did just that as he kept training, eventually making his way into Beacon.

Relationships:
N/A

Abilities:
Surprisingly acrobatic and flexible, being able to flip and twirl around with ease, seemingly able to balance on just about anything. Capable of multiple tricks with his gun, being able to ricochet shots at odd angles numerous times.

Semblance:
Boysen’s semblance works in the ways of portals, or rather doorways, so to speak. They appear as ripples in the air, similar to ripples seen on water’s surface. You stick something through one, and then that something comes out the other. Simple.

Distance wise, it works for a quarter mile. Number wise, it can open about four at once. No more. Size wise, only small objects can go through. Well, a person could as well, provided they go from top-to-bottom and not side-to-side. The portals are not one way. While he uses them offensively and defensively, they can also be used against him if someone sees the ripples. Which really, aren’t that hard to miss.

Weapon:
Boysen’s weapon are a pair of 6-shooter revolvers he oddly calls Wonderfun’s Mad-Mad Bang-Bangs, or just Bang-Bangs for short. The barrel is capable of widening to fit all six bullets in, which it then shoots out in a shotgun like blast. They do have a transformation, where the handle flips to match the barrel at a wider angle and the barrel folds down on itself to make a blade. While in this form, the Bang-Bangs are tanto, being incapable of shooting. If he did shoot, the bullet would hit the folded barrel and get lodged, being unable to transform back into a revolver. To use it effectively, he constantly transforms between the two.

His holsters, while not weapons, are special to a degree. There are dust slots on the side of them, and a tube that goes through the barrel inside it. These dust slots pour dust inside the holster, which rub against the side of the barrel and inside. While for the inside, it adds elemental effects to his bullets for the next six-shots. While for the outside, it adds an elemental effect to his blade. The slots include fire, ice, and lightning.

Combat:
Serves more as a trickster during combat, twirling and jumping around while seemingly shooting at random but using his semblance to barrage an enemy from all angles. Takes particular enjoyment from getting up close and dancing around an enemy, taunting them with irrelevant nursery rhymes as he twirls, shoots, and stabs.

Post-Beacon:
After the fall of Beacon, Boysen decided to head back home. He stayed there for awhile, until eventual leak of his father being corrupt and having accept bribes for all his cases came out. In the town’s accumulated rage they burned the house down, said rage attracted the nearby Grimm that then proceeded to devour the entire town. The fire spread to the entire town as well, Boysen barely managed to escape the catastrophe, unsure of the status of his father or sister.

He doesn’t particular care due to his condition though, so he wandered off. Homeless for the third time in his life.
