Appearance and Personality
Dallas, or simply Dally, stands at a solid 6'2", with a build that gives off an impression of both strength and subtle grace. His physique is strong, but not overly muscular in the obvious way that screams training dedication. He has the kind of body that makes you realize he’s probably played a lot of sports in his life or spent time doing things like hiking, climbing, or working with his hands—activities that have left him with a strong frame without it ever being exaggerated. He moves with a fluidity that speaks of an ease with his body. Whether it’s the quick fluidity of someone running across uneven ground or the casual stride of someone walking confidently in the halls of a palace, there's a silent but present strength in the way he carries himself.
Dallas’s skin tone, a warm, slightly tanned complexion, has the unmistakable look of someone who spends a lot of time outdoors. A mix of olive and honey hues runs through his skin, a product of both natural genetics and a lifestyle that has him constantly on the move. It’s not so much the deep, bronzed tan that speaks of vacations in the sun but the kind of glow that’s earned by the consistent exposure to sunlight over time. His body is evidence of a life spent in motion—of walking across mountain trails, through forests, or standing under the northern lights on an unexpectedly chilly night, the cool breeze ruffling his hair. His hands are calloused in the way you might expect of someone who’s familiar with doing their own repairs or spending a day working on a project that requires patience, focus, and the right tools, which is odd for someone of his nobility.
The most striking feature about Dallas is his hair. Dark brown, slightly tousled, and falling in a way that feels effortlessly perfect, his hair has a touch of wildness to it. It’s not entirely unruly, but the ends curl slightly, giving his hair a textural contrast to the slightly clean-cut impression that the rest of his body gives off. He doesn’t spend much time on it, a quick tug to settle it into place before he steps out of the palace in the morning is usually all it gets.
His face is framed by a short stubble beard that’s always in a bit of a state of maintenance, never too long but never fully shaven either. The scruff looks intentional, giving him a rugged charm without crossing into the territory of unkemptness. His mustache is slightly more prominent, dark and slightly longer than the rest of his facial hair, and it curls just at the ends in a way that adds a touch of mischief to his face. Under his bottom lip, a small patch of slightly darker hair remains longer than the rest, drawing attention to his expressive, frequently mischievous mouth. The stubble gives him an easy charm, as though he was born with it, like it’s the only way his face could look. It complements his jawline, which is strong and slightly squared, giving him a masculine, mature air that doesn’t quite match the lighthearted optimism he exudes.
His eyes are a warm shade of light brown that feels inviting, like you could get lost in them for hours and not quite understand how you ended up so comfortable. They have a spark to them, a glimmer of someone who’s always thinking one step ahead and who’s never quite serious, even when he needs to be. His brow often furrows in concentration, but even in moments of intensity, his eyes carry a playful streak that betrays his tendency to never take things too seriously.
Despite being a man who stands tall and has a confident, even cocky, presence, there’s a softness to his expression. His smile is often mischievous, with a slightly crooked pull at the corner of his mouth, as though he knows something you don’t, and he’s not quite sure whether or not he’s going to tell you. It’s the kind of smile that makes you feel like you’ve just been let in on an inside joke, even if you have no idea what the punchline is yet. It’s easy to get swept up in the charm, easy to mistake it for something casual when, in reality, Dally is constantly evaluating the world around him, always searching for the next thrill or adventure to take on. And unlike his contemporaries, who don elaborate doublets and ruffs, Dallas would favor simpler yet stylish attire. The foundation of the outfit would be a simple linen shirt. These shirts are typically loose-fitting, allowing for ease of movement. The sleeves might be billowy and gathered at the wrists, often adorned with delicate lace or embroidery. The color of the shirt could range from stark white to muted pastels, depending on his mood. Unlike more formal shirts, which featured high collars and intricate designs, Dallas would often choose a more relaxed neckline, perhaps a soft V-shape or an open collar. Over the shirt, he might wear a short, tailored justaucorps. This coat would be made of soft wool or silk, often in muted tones such as deep blue, forest green, or warm brown. The justaucorps would lack the excessive embellishments typical of formal garments, favoring clean lines and a tailored fit. Instead of the traditional long sleeves, he might opt for three-quarter sleeves that provided a more relaxed appearance. Instead of the long, flowing trousers fashionable among his peers, Dally would likely wear knee-length breeches. These were snug-fitting, often made from cotton or wool, and could feature simple patterns or solid colors. The breeches would be fastened at the knee with ribbons or buttons, allowing for ease of movement while still maintaining a polished look. This choice reflected a desire for comfort and practicality, especially for a man who engaged in outdoor activities or informal gatherings. He might choose leather shoes with low heels, designed for comfort rather than extravagance. These shoes could be plain or feature subtle embellishments, such as a simple buckle or decorative stitching. Alternatively, he might wear ankle boots made of soft leather, suitable for informal occasions and outdoor adventures. These choices allowed him to remain active while still appearing dignified. He is not known to adorn himself with many accessories other than that of a placid black leather bracelet that he hasn’t removed since the age of ten. No one is quite sure why.

Dallas is everything you expect from someone with his demeanor. He's playful, quick-witted, and always looking for the next thing to get involved in. He might come off as cocky, but it's never in an aggressive way. He doesn’t feel the need to prove himself to anyone; instead, he exists with a quiet confidence that’s born from knowing exactly who he is. He teases people in the way someone might poke fun at their closest friends, never going too far but always with that knowing grin that lets you know he’s just enjoying the banter. His cockiness isn’t something that alienates people, though—it’s part of his charm, a reminder that he’s someone who doesn’t take life too seriously.
There’s a deep optimism to Dally, a belief in the potential for everything. Whether it’s something small—like thinking today could be the day that his favorite small shop has a new type of coffee—or something larger, like believing that anything is possible if you work at it long enough, he carries a brightness that lifts those around him. He isn’t naïve, though. He knows the world can be difficult, complicated, and full of challenges. But rather than succumb to the weight of that, he meets each challenge with a grin, ready to take it on with everything he’s got. Dallas can easily be described as a optimistic realist.
His teasing nature comes across most when he’s comfortable, often poking fun at his friends, but there’s also a softness to him that makes it clear he’s genuinely invested in those he cares about. It’s this balance of cocky bravado and real warmth that makes him the kind of person you’d want in your corner, someone who will laugh with you in the good times and take care of you when things get tough. He’s not always serious, but when the moment demands it, he can step up, calm, composed, and ready to lend his help.
Dallas lives for adventure, whether that’s a spontaneous trip or a long-planned hike through the wilderness. He has a love for the outdoors and is often drawn to places that allow him to connect with nature—rivers, mountains, or forests filled with the sounds of wildlife. His ability to adapt to any situation, whether he’s in the middle of a crowded palace or hiking alone in the woods, speaks to his versatile nature.
He might joke around and make light of situations, but there's something deeper about him. A quiet understanding that the world is both vast and unpredictable, and that the best way to navigate it is with optimism, humor, and a touch of cockiness. In a world full of uncertainty, Dallas's approach to life makes it clear that maybe, just maybe, the best way to handle it all is with a little bit of humor, a lot of confidence, and an open mind.
Type of Neurodiversity
Dallas's impulsiveness, adaptability, and tendency to avoid serious conversations could be indicative of ADHD. People with ADHD often have a natural inclination toward spontaneity and might struggle with structure or long-term planning. Here's how ADHD could manifest in Dallas:
• Impulsivity and Spontaneity: Dallas's desire to act quickly without always thinking through the consequences is a common trait of ADHD. His love for adventure and taking risks aligns with the impulsive nature of ADHD, where the immediate thrill of new experiences outweighs the need for long-term caution.
• Difficulty with Focus on Details: While Dally can certainly focus when needed, his tendency to avoid deep or emotionally challenging conversations may suggest that he has difficulty with tasks that require sustained focus on details—especially if those details are emotionally or mentally demanding.
• Restlessness and Need for Stimulation: His love for constant movement and the drive to take on new challenges can be connected to the hyperactive side of ADHD, where individuals might seek out novelty and external stimulation to feel engaged and avoid boredom.
• Emotional Regulation: Dallas's natural optimism and tendency to deflect serious emotions with humor might be a way to avoid feeling overwhelmed by emotions, a behavior sometimes seen in ADHD when emotional regulation becomes difficult.
Though not as clearly aligned with Dallas's personality as ADHD, certain aspects of his social behavior and worldview could hint at neurodivergence on the autism spectrum. Autism manifests in a variety of ways, and not everyone on the spectrum has the same experience, but Dally traits could suggest:
• Social Communication Style: Dallas's tendency to deflect serious conversations with humor and his more playful, teasing nature could be linked to an atypical communication style. People on the autism spectrum sometimes use humor or sarcasm as a coping mechanism to navigate social interactions, especially when they feel uncomfortable or when they prefer to avoid emotional depth.
• Emotional Guarding: While Dally is empathetic, his reluctance to share his deeper feelings or to engage in more emotionally charged conversations might point to a difficulty with emotional vulnerability, which can be common in those on the spectrum. This is particularly true if Dallas experiences sensory or emotional overwhelm, which might lead him to compartmentalize his emotions.
• Interest in Routine and Familiarity: While Dallas enjoys spontaneous adventures, his life could also have some underlying structures that help him feel stable. People on the spectrum sometimes have routines or preferences that help them maintain comfort and predictability, even if they don’t immediately appear rigid or inflexible.
• Sensitivity to Social Nuances: While Dally's ability to read people is strong, he might sometimes miss subtle social cues, leading him to seem overly blunt or impulsive at times. This would align with how some individuals with ASD may struggle to pick up on social signals or interpret them differently.
Dallas's emotional guard, his tendency to deflect serious topics with humor, and his comfort in physical activities might hint at some sensory or social sensitivities. While social anxiety is not always considered a neurodevelopmental condition, it can certainly interact with other forms of neurodivergence, like ADHD or ASD. Here’s how:
• Social Comfort in Certain Environments: While Dally is outgoing and charismatic, he may have social anxiety when it comes to deeper, more vulnerable conversations. His tendency to avoid these serious topics could be his way of coping with the discomfort that such conversations bring, perhaps because of a fear of being judged or misunderstood.
• Sensitivity to Emotional Overload: His inclination to keep things lighthearted and avoid deep emotional vulnerability might be a strategy for managing sensory or emotional overload. Sometimes, people with heightened sensory sensitivity or anxiety avoid complex social or emotional situations because they feel overwhelmed by the intensity of the experience.
• Physical Activity as a Coping Mechanism: His love for physical activity and the outdoors may serve as an outlet for managing any feelings of anxiety or emotional overwhelm, which is a common coping strategy for neurodivergent individuals who are sensitive to internal or external stimuli.
While there’s no clear indication that Dallas would have formal learning challenges, his playful and non-conventional approach to life suggests he might have a unique way of processing information. For instance, as Dally is someone who struggles with reading or processing written language quickly (a characteristic of dyslexia), he leans heavily on his strengths in physical activities, social interactions, and verbal communication, finding other ways to excel and express himself.
He may not necessarily struggle academically, but it’s possible he’s developed strategies to manage tasks that rely heavily on reading or writing, often preferring more hands-on learning or oral communication.
Abilities
"Caelimpeius"
Caelimpeius offers the extraordinary ability to control, manipulate, and change the state of matter of oxygen molecules. This power not only allows the user to influence the physical properties of oxygen but also to engage with its profound impact on life, the environment, and various scientific phenomena. Oxygen is an essential element for life on Earth. It constitutes approximately 21% of the Earth's atmosphere and is crucial for cellular respiration. Through aerobic respiration, organisms release carbon dioxide and water as byproducts, establishing a vital cycle that supports life. Without oxygen, the survival of aerobic organisms would be impossible. Oxygen exists in various states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. In its gaseous form, oxygen is invisible and odorless, making it a fundamental component of the air we breathe. However, under specific conditions, oxygen can be transformed into a liquid or solid state. The ability to manipulate these states is where caelimpeius becomes particularly intriguing. The power of caelimpeius allows its user to control oxygen molecules on multiple levels. This capability extends beyond mere manipulation of the state of matter; it encompasses the ability to alter the chemical properties of oxygen, create or eliminate oxygen in specific environments, and even influence the biological processes of living organisms. One of the most striking aspects of caelimpeius is the capacity to transition oxygen between its gaseous, liquid, and solid states. For example, the user could convert gaseous oxygen into liquid oxygen by lowering the temperature to its boiling point of -297.3°F (or 90.19 K, or -183°C). Conversely, the user could manipulate the temperature and pressure to form solid oxygen, which occurs at temperatures below -361.82°F (or 54.3 K or −218.8°C) Solid oxygen is known to be a pale blue color and has unique properties such as magnetism and a crystalline structure, and is quite different than typical ice. Additionally, the power of caelimpeius extends into the realm of biology. By altering the availability of oxygen, the user could impact the physiological processes of living organisms. By controlling the concentration of oxygen in a given area, the user has the ability to take or provide oxygen to organisms, causing either asphyxiation by too little oxygen, or hyperoxia by too much.

Strengths
• Confidence and Charisma: Dallas exudes a natural confidence that isn’t overbearing but still magnetic. His ability to carry himself with ease draws people in and makes them feel comfortable around him. He knows how to read a room and can adjust his demeanor to fit the situation, making him someone people are naturally drawn to. This confidence also allows him to handle most challenges with calm and poise, never seeming rattled in the face of adversity.
• Optimism and Positivity: Dally’s glass-half-full attitude is one of his most defining traits. He believes that, no matter the situation, things can work out for the best. This makes him a great source of encouragement for others, as his optimism is infectious. Whether it’s convincing a friend that a tough break is just a learning experience or finding the silver lining in a difficult scenario, Dallas’s unwavering belief in the good keeps him—and those around him—moving forward.
• Adaptability: One of Dally’s strongest traits is his ability to adapt to any environment or situation. No matter where he is, he remains composed and able to handle whatever comes his way. His versatility means he’s comfortable in a variety of settings, easily shifting from laid-back casual to serious and focused when needed. This adaptability is also present in how he interacts with others, shifting his approach to match their energy and needs.
• Emotional Intelligence: Dallas has an intuitive understanding of people. He can quickly gauge someone’s mood, intentions, and needs, making him an excellent listener and a dependable friend. His teasing, cocky demeanor isn’t a defense mechanism—it’s a way for him to engage with others playfully without pushing boundaries. People feel seen and understood when they’re around him because he has an innate sense of empathy, even if he doesn’t always show it in the most traditional ways.
• Resilience: Despite his easygoing demeanor, Dallas is remarkably resilient. Life throws curveballs, but he’s not one to be easily knocked down. Whether dealing with personal setbacks or navigating the unexpected, he faces adversity with grit and determination. His ability to get back up and keep moving forward, no matter what happens, is a testament to his inner strength. This resilience doesn’t come from sheer force of will but from his belief that everything can be worked through with patience and optimism.
• Physical Strength and Stamina: Dallas isn’t the kind of guy who’s obsessed with fitness, but he is undeniably strong and fit. He has a natural athleticism that shows through when physical tasks arise. Whether it’s carrying something heavy, running long distances, or taking on a physical challenge, Dally’s body is prepared for action. His physical endurance is something he can rely on, and he’s the kind of person who can push through pain or discomfort without complaint.
Weaknesses
• Overconfidence at Times: While Dallas’s confidence is generally a strength, it can sometimes cross into cockiness. His belief that things will always work out can lead him to underestimate challenges or take on too much at once. He might rush into situations without fully considering all the consequences or risks, believing that his optimism and charm will be enough to smooth things over. This overconfidence can occasionally backfire, especially when he fails to see the deeper complications of a situation.
• Avoidance of Serious Conversations: Dallas has a tendency to avoid deep, emotionally heavy conversations. His optimism and lighthearted nature often keep him from addressing difficult emotions, whether his own or those of others. When faced with someone who wants to talk about feelings or confront hard truths, Dallas might deflect with humor or tease his way out of the conversation. While this helps him maintain his carefree persona, it can also lead to misunderstandings or a lack of emotional intimacy with those around him.
• Impulsiveness: Dallas’s love for adventure and spontaneity is a blessing in many ways, but it can also lead to reckless behavior. He can sometimes act before thinking, jumping into situations without fully considering the consequences. This impulsiveness might manifest in making snap decisions, taking risks without the proper preparation, or engaging in activities that might be dangerous or inappropriate. His impulse to act on instinct can get him into trouble when caution would have been the wiser choice.
• Difficulty with Authority: Dallas has a natural independent streak, and while he’s respectful of others, he can be resistant to authority figures or rules that seem too rigid or unnecessary. He’s not one for following orders without understanding the reasoning behind them, and this can sometimes create friction in structured environments, like workplaces or formal settings. His natural inclination to question the status quo and do things his own way can make him seem defiant or rebellious, even when he’s simply trying to understand things from his own perspective.
• Emotionally Guarded: While Dallas is incredibly open with others in terms of humor and lightheartedness, he’s less willing to open up when it comes to his deeper emotions or vulnerabilities. He tends to guard his heart, using his teasing nature as a way to protect himself from being too exposed. This emotional armor means that, although he might seem like an open book, there’s a lot more going on under the surface that he’s not willing to share. He has a fear of being seen as weak or overly emotional, which can lead him to suppress his feelings rather than confront them head-on.
• Difficulty with Commitment: Dallas is someone who thrives on freedom and independence, which can make long-term commitments—whether in relationships or projects—difficult for him. While he’s extremely loyal to his friends and family, he sometimes has a hard time settling down, whether it’s in a romantic relationship or in his career. His restless nature and constant desire for new experiences can make him wary of routines or the thought of locking himself into one place or situation for too long. He enjoys the idea of being spontaneous, but commitment sometimes feels like a weight on his shoulders, something that keeps him from fully embracing stability. The expectations of finding a wife due to his royal status also make commitment difficult for him.
• Overemphasis on Fun: While Dallas’s love of fun and excitement is a part of his charm, it can sometimes make him seem flippant or unserious. He might prioritize fun over responsibility, leading him to neglect important tasks or obligations. His tendency to prioritize enjoyment over more mundane but necessary duties—like work or other responsibilities—can cause friction in his personal and professional life. He’s not the type to keep a meticulous calendar or follow a strict routine, and while that works for him in many cases, it can create chaos when things need to be more structured.
