Anastasis stands around 5'10, and very lanky in build. Not skinny, just lanky. His natural hair color is black, though it's almost always dyed red for his own reason that he only says when asked. Glasses are a staple on his face due to his less than optimal vision and refusal to wear contacts due to an insedent that left him with sick eyes for a week. His hair, on another note, is almost always messy. Weither it be in a messy pony tail or worn down, don't expect it to be combed unless someone else does it.
There are times where you will see half his face covered in stage make while he wanders around the house from testing out special effect makeup on himself. This tends to leave all kinds of smudges on his clothes and alot of stuff.
There is also a bright green Quetzal feather in his hair that is almost always there and braided into his hair for some reason. (see Extra and charished items)

Hobbies:

- Mead making: he doesn't get to do it all too often anymore since he's been on the move, but he can make a damn good brew for any occasion. The only issue is that it takes a damn. Long. Time. to make. However, he does have several bottles of some that he made before he left his Lover's house on his own. And by a few, he brings at least 10 large bottles in one bag and several little bottles ranging from shot sized to water-bottle sizes of glass bottles. Yes, a lot of home made booze. Pick your poison.

-Black and white sweater(two sizes too big and falling off his shoulders, baggy jeans, and old worn down converse. (winter or inside casual)

- trench coat with so many makeup stains, he doesn't even bother trying to get them out anymore. worn almost everywhere.
Cherished Items:
- while not an 'item' Rowan has been with him since the beginning.
- Makeup "fortress": His lifeline and the way he provives himself with money to eat. Is every lost without it.
- laptop: Entertainment and line to keep sanity for the moment. That and a record of all his bigger projects
- Two statues that he carries with him everywhere One of Quetzalcoatl and one of bast (not the one from DND, but he likes to make people think it is). He says that they're just for decoration but becomes very irritated when someone touches them without permission unless something bad is about to happen to them. (see extra for more information)
-quetzal feather: The feather (the tail feather of the bird to be exact) that never leaves his hair for any reason other then to shower is something that he got by accident after a childhood trip to central and south america, again he says that it's a knicknack and often says nothing more about it, but will explain it if he thinks he can trust the person not to have a freak out about it. (again see extra)
Personality: Stasis is a rather odd character. Odd in the sence of one thing could mean the other for him. On first meeting, he's a little quiet, stand offish and rather tense. Most of the time, once he's gotten some time to settle into is surroundings, he's fairly easy to talk to, and scatterbrained. Often staring off into space when in thought or forgetting something once he's in the area of where the thing he was getting is. There are times where he does something completely random for the most part; dance in place, sing something random or something of the like.
While fairly calm and easy going most of the time, Stasis has also been described as being "scary calm" when angry. This is his attempt to keep a straight face even in the face of massive anger. Only where he can get to somewhere secluded enough to where no one can hear him, he can lash out and scream in rage since it can build up very quickly in a short amount of time. Usually a storm is perfect for this.
The only other time you can see any kind of irritation on his face is if he is woken up in the middle of the night for no apparent reason. If explained, then he will simmer down, but still be a little peeved about being woken up.
He is also a pleaser. A habit that he's been trying to get rid off since his coming out, but has so for been failing at it due to his fear of people hating him or being alone.
Thoughts on situation: It has not been an easy transition since his coming out, but has been trying to make the best of it. He's gotten to travel, meet new people and even earn a bit of money. Even if that meant going from place to place on bike or foot, painting bratty kids faces and getting ripped off a number of times. But it could be worse.
Brief History: Anastasiy was born in Miami, but was raise Tallahassee for most of his life. His home life wasn't something that he could look back on as being memorable. Mother was a sweetheart, father was almost always gone for work and never really bonded with him too much. He knew that he always had a knack for makeup for the longest. Sometimes calling out the makeover ladies at their local mall for either using the wrong brush or wrong foundation for someone. In all honesty, he didn't see anything really wrong. It was hobby as much as others had football or other sports.
His father would always try and get him into sports since childhood, but failed due to his disinterest in them. Over the years, their relationship strained and the subtle insults started once he hit middle school. He became a bit of a loner in middle school and in his early years of high school, often having crushes on other boys and girls every now and again. The crushes of girls were always failures and he didn't dare make a move one of the boys from not wanting to risk ridicule. He did have a friend that did keep him company and eventually fell for him.
They did become a couple in the later years of high school, but did their best to keep it hidden. However, the rumor mill got a hold of it and someone decided to out him and his boyfriend during lunch at school much to their devastation. Stasis's father got a hold of the news soon after wards after having to come to the school after Stasis had given someone a beating over being bisexual. He and his parents never talked after the indecent, eventually locking him out of the house and leaving most of his belongings on the door step.
Oddly enough, there was cat that decided to follow him around and soon became his fast friend. He did move in with his lover before going out of his own. They still have contact with each other, but decided to break the relationship off to keep their friendship.

Extra(s): Stasis is a pagan, a devotee of both the goddess Bast and the god Quetzalcoatl and has a statue of both of them. He doesn't mind telling people if they ask, but doesn't like to talk about it due to difficulties in trying to explain it and being called a devil worshiper. He usually keeps the statues on his night stand and leaves little offerings to them in the morning or at night and lights a candle for them both. This also means that some offerings are a bit...unsettling to other people. Hint: pidgons and other small birds are not safe! However, this is once in a rare, rare while. This is also the reason for the green feather in his hair.
His cat is almost always with him in someway (usually on his shoulder or in his bag) and tends to eat the offerings at his altar after he's done with them since they are usually soda or small candies (Bast) and either meat, fresh flowers or chocolate (Quetzalcoatl). This often makes people think the altar is a very elaborate feeding dish for Rowan. She is also a very large cat, almost 20 pounds and it's not fat, and will make a bed out of anyone that she sees fit. Don't leave anything around her that could be seen as something to paw either, she has a habit of hording stuff once a home has been made.
