Addison Pridsdottir

History:

Addison is an oddity. Son of a pride demoness, Ligael, and his dullahan mother. Given his trio of older sisters and magical family, by all accounts, Addison should have been 'weird' or abnormal. Well, moreso than he became.

The eldest child, and the only boy, Addison was babied from a young age. Growing up in the monastery of the cult his demon mother ran, Addison was insulated from both the outside world and the monastery itself.

Through the magic that allowed his parents to bear children, Addison came out almost as if non-magical ‘first’ of a set of quadruplets. While several years ahead of them, the would grow to be almost identical to him. Indeed, it’s common that the young man’s girly demeanor and body makes him easy to mistake for a sister.

Despite his social insulation and body, Addison yearned for normalcy of the mundie world. Due to his innate intellect and fascination with the outside world, his parents agreed. Sending him to a boarding school, he lived off-campus with a family that were 'friends', though he presumed disciples of his mother's.

Once freed of the world he was born into, Addison spent his time flourishing. He learned, socialized, and pushed the envelope of his burdgening young mind. He became his own person, free of the claustrophobia of Ligael's monastery.

He came to discover an aptitude for coding and hardware. Many nights were lost to red-eyed work of putting rudimentary robots together and designing programs to automate parts of his life. The young boy was by no means a genius, but he was fiercely intelligent, and he applied himself to his extracurriculars with far more gusto than he could ever muster for the rote coursework he half-assed yet, sped through, and for which he still received good marks.

Eventually though, college came to a close early for him and Addison was his own man. He did the odd coding contract to keep afloat, did his stint as an ‘IT’ retail guy. He was getting his feet-wet and hungering for more till, one day, Ligael suggested him for helping bring internet to Atlantis.

Addison took the odd problem, recognized the opportunity and ran with it. With a smile on his face he began to puzzle through how to connect a plane to another plane's internet through a portal, and every day he took the irate grunts of streaming-addicts without their fix as a reason to continue.

Eventually, he'd solve the conundrum. Then, having grown attached to Atlantis, he took up another job. With a headset on, and a server-room all around, the femboi became the Irregular’s H.Q. He became their mission control, their reassuring voice in their ear, and even their hacker when he can pull it off. In the end, the only thing Addison had to give up in his search for normalcy, was the very thing he had sought.

Physical

 

Physical Eval. Forward

Addison is very healthy. While smaller than the average human male, he is also more feminine. While this is of concern to him, he has suffered no physical maladies as a result of his magical conception or abnormally high estrogen levels. Despite this, he has been made aware of several concerns.

Likely due to Kokoro’s cooking, his calorie intake is too high. This is further harmed by an over abundance of sugar, particularly in his favorite drink: soda. He also stays in too much and I’d like to see him get more vitamin D and full-body exercise in place of his constant cardio and running.

Physical Condition

Addison’s body is small and demure. Called ‘cute’ most of his life, he stands the shortest of his family and is self conscious of it. This is furthered by his lack of a masculine form, though I could attribute this to his magical conception between two females. He has a dusting of freckles and very pale skin making sunburns his most frequent reason to come to me for medical assistance. This is furthered by his shut-in nature revolving around computers, leaving his skin very light.

He’s by no means a health-nut, but he does have a balanced diet courtesy of his girlfriend’s cooking. Even so, he is toned and slim, favoring running and cardio for exercise. He also frequently joins his sisters for group-running, peer-pressure spurring him to keep pushing. Though this is largely a psychological aid as Addison’s stamina is not in question.  

Psychological

Psych Eval. Forward

Addison is an independent, introverted young man with an oxymoronic need for tremendous social contact. Despite this, Addison has very little interest in our sessions. Once, to my chagrin, he even came in after staying up all night and proceeded to use our session as a nap!

Despite this, Addison is an interesting person and an intellectual. I’ve come to accept his independence and have stopped scheduling sessions as frequently. Instead I’ve turned to more subtle probings over a semi-often lunch we share in the cafe. Though we do not share intellectual fields, I find his mind a landscape worth losing myself in.

Psychological condition

Addison has a mental state devoid of ‘scarring’. He has struggled on his own before, but he has no tremendous trauma that has marred him. Instead, he is, mentally,very solid and robust. The only weakness being a deepseated sense of inferiority.

It’s logical to posit that this partially stems from his physical form being not the ‘ideal’ of a male. It is only deepened by a small nagging sense of resentment and abandonment from his parents. Given that he was the ‘stable’ and normal eldest child and his sisters grew with a magical target on their backs, his sisters naturally drew all the attention and care he feels he was not completely afforded.

Despite this, his darker feelings rarely plague him very long. Instead he takes great pleasure in his eccentricities. He takes pride in his independency and having had a completely different childhood than his sisters since he was at a boarding school for each school year. He also has a very deep and unshakable bond with his family, perhaps strongest with Niamh. The ‘nerdiest’ of his sisters naturally shares a tremendous amount of interests in common with her brother.
