Profile
The best friend. Says what the protagonist can't because it might be a little too spicy. Also more likely to do questionable things. Call to adventure personified.
Main Deets
Name: Julian
Birthday: April 17th
Sign: Aries
Age: 16/17
Favorite color: Orange
Weapon: Lance (originally a pool cue)
Bio:
Julian is energetic and impulsive, though he also had a penchant for scheming. He tends to get lost in plans and forget what his goal for them was. He struggles with focus, and therefore struggles with keeping friendships. He’s generally seen as unreliable.
Ezra is the only person who’s stuck with him before they met Yon. He understands the way Julian’s mind works and is therefore quite forgiving of his flightiness.
Julian bonds with Yon easily over how disconnected they feel from Grey Springs (Yon because he just moved there, Julian due to his challenges with planting roots) and they end up discovering much of the town together.
Though he might not have many close friends, Julian is fiercely loyal to Ezra and Yon. He has a tendency to be standoffish or even hostile towards new people if he can’t read them well right off the bat.
He has a tendency to speak before he thinks which gets him in trouble quite often. He’s also obsessed with the idea of having a girlfriend, or something of the like, as he seems to treat it more like a dog chasing a car. It seems to be more about the chase than the actual end goal.
The way he appears to others is important to him, and he dislikes that many people seem to avoid him due to his antics and inability to focus. He seems to think getting a girlfriend will make people look at him more favorably. Or at least it will make them think he’s “cool”.
Persona
A manifestation of Julian's true self. His has taken form of the demon Eligos, who introduces himself as Eligor to Julian.
Name: Eligor
Sigil: Eligos
Tarot: The Star
Julian exorcises Eligor from Ezra shortly after Robin awakens her bond with Dantalion. Eligor's towering visage makes him feel stronger, more sure of himself.
Eligor carries an ensign that flutters even at windstill. Instead of a lance he possesses a scorpion's tail, always at the ready to strike. He inspires bravery and security in those who are in his presence.
Just knowing Eligor is a part of his own soul makes Julian reflect on his actions more. He must be capable of good and admiration.
Relationships
[click pictures to expand]
Seeing as Yon joined school a week late, Julian instantly pounces on him with the intent to befriend him as he’s keen to make more friends aside from Ezra, who has been the only person who’s accepted him for how he is (or puts up with it, rather).
As he is impulsive and hot-headed himself, Yon helps Julian stay a little more grounded and think things through before jumping into action. He is slowly learning to accept himself more through his discussions with Yon.
Julian is infatuated with Robin on a shallow level. He thinks she is very pretty, and that’s the end of it. If you were to ask him why he likes her, he wouldn’t have anything polite or of any particular value to answer with.
Robin picked up on this as soon as their first interaction, and does not like nor trust Julian because of it. They start off on the wrong foot and it takes work to fix their relationship. Work neither of them are particularly interested in putting in, at least not without Yon’s help.
Ezra is Julian’s closest friend. They met in middle school, and Ezra is not aware he is Julian’s only friend. He’s kept it to himself out of embarrassment. Peers often find Julian too much to deal with, finding him either rude or unable to focus on one thing at a time. As such he made it through much of school with shallow relationships, generally with people he himself did not like much in return.
Ezra is very patient and seems to understand how Julian’s mind works quite well, and as such has taken the time to get through to him and really connect with what makes Julian tick. As such Julian is extremely loyal to Ezra, even if on the surface they don’t seem to have much in common.
Leander despises Julian and does not hide it. Julian thinks Leander is a creep.
Like Robin, Leander immediately picked up on Julian’s interest in the former and treats him with much dismay because of it. As Julian isn’t aware of this context he groups Leander in with all the other people from his past who disliked him seemingly right off the bat, without him understanding why. Leander is just that extra bit worse due to his verbose way of speaking and the fact that he towers over Julian, making his dismay seem that much more intimidating.
Their relationships improves little by little over time, but it’s slow going and requires much energy from both parties.
Edi and Julian are quite alike in their levels of energy, though Edi is considerably more chipper. This is something Julian struggles to get used to at the start of their relationship.
His lack of understanding hurts Edi, though she tries not to show it, and Julian isn’t perceptive enough to pick up on it. She likes him a lot and tries to get closer to him despite these hurdles.
Julian can’t seem to get used to Solomon’s weird style of dress or why people always seem drawn to him despite his oddities.
He does however enjoy showing Solomon new things and takes it upon himself to teach Solomon all he knows about the workings of the world (or just Grey Springs, really). His attitude towards Solomon is much like it was when he first met Yon, though Solomon’s general reactions and disposition is much more eccentric.
