Mulls Pyram

Mulls Pyram is a first-year student at Haven Academy. He is based on Pyramus of Ovid’s Metamorphoses. His weapon is a quarterstaff with a gardening rake head. The quarterstaff separates into two pieces. One piece has the gardening rake head with sharpened prongs for puncturing wounds. The other piece has a slim handle, trigger mechanism, and hammer, which were stored inside of the rake piece. This handle can be flicked downwards to create a handheld shotgun mechanism. It is named “Spring Harvest.”

Appearance:

Mulls typically wears a white t-shirt with a berry-esque graphic on the front, which also happens to be his crest. Over his chest and his back, there is a leather strap holding his weapon. Over these, he normally dons a grey, unzipped hoodie. The hoodie’s pockets have holes in the bottoms. His pants are broken-in blue jeans with scuffed knees with holes all in them. His socks reach up to his mid-calf, but are covered by his jeans. His sneakers are white with a mulberry streak over the ankles.

Mulls’ hair is standard, but it is high maintenance. His bangs reach his eyebrows when they are not held up by a mix of molding paste, pomade, and hairspray. His hair reaches down to his ears on the sides of his head. His hair on the back of his head reaches down to his neck, then is buzzed.

Personality:

Mulls is a subdued genius and comedian. He enjoys talking and goofing around with his friends, but he is not the best in front of large crowds. His humor is mostly self-deprecating, but he does not take his own words to heart.

He is not organized in the slightest and simply goes with the flow, acting patiently until it is the time to do something. He has patterns that he goes by, but no set plan in any situation. It is mostly laziness, but it shapes him into an adaptable individual.

He enjoys playing video games and discovering nooks and crannies in nerd culture. He is not the best with technology, but he updates his computer mostly out of necessity. He will go years with the same computer parts until they are a smoldering wreck and his computer won’t run anymore.

He is kind to everyone that he meets, giving them a shy and subdued greeting. He is only rude to those who are rude to his friends. This, inevitably, makes those few rude to him as well. He is not a people person, but does enjoy a handful of company.

Backstory:

Mulls Pyram was born on the outskirts of Mistral in a fertile plot of land bordering the swamps. His father was a retired huntsman, who had his left leg taken out in a Grimm attack. His mother was an active huntress who had been on a separate team in the same academy during their relationship. They were never married, and he was passed to his father. His father was married to a young waitress at a local tavern, about five years younger than his father. His father started a small farm and made Mulls a farmhand. He was training Mulls to be a huntsman in his spare time, as he was horrible at being a farmhand. Strangely, the shift succeeded and Mulls was okay with being a huntsman.

Mulls, age 11, in his training adopted the use of a rake as a weapon, as he could train whilst working on the farm. His father, while creating a prosthetic limb for himself out of one of the strong cedar trees around the farm, created a special rake that could be used as a weapon. It was a quarterstaff, six feet long and topped with a rake head with sharpened prongs. His father named it “Spring Harvest.”

Mulls, age 12, starts attending Sanctum Academy. His teacher recommends that he add a new mechanism to “Spring Harvest,” a handheld shotgun for his left hand.

Years later, Mulls finished his training at home and at Sanctum Academy. After this, he was accepted into Haven Academy. He has not joined a team yet.

Relationships:

No relation, yet.

Abilities:

Mulls’ semblance is Mulled Patience, in reference to the way mulberries do not bud until the frost passes in winter and spring, as well as the way the buds swiftly form and open as soon as the danger passes. This semblance allows him to see glimpses of the future as long as he holds his breath and shuts his eyes. Doing this makes him drop his guard and his aura shield, so he is completely open while he is doing this.

In battle, Mulls takes an evasive and offensive route. He gets up close and personal, then backs off near instantly.

Trivia:

•He loves wading in and showering in water, but fears drowning and cannot swim in chest deep water.

•He enjoys running, but often never leaves his room on free days unless his friends or family have important plans for him.
