Double Dusk Freeze

Just like with Illustro, I wanted to make sure people could see the full piece of Dusk and understand every part of his design. The shift from masculine to feminine look, all the while keeping the elements the same...I'm actually kinda proud of this one~

Also I'm just a big fan of the feminine outfit for Dusk. Managed to tie in a reference to Twila as well, since it is her fault that this is even happening after all. 


I'll explain. You know how Twila can take over and possess Dusk when he gets TG'd? Well apparently her doing that has had unintended side effects. Namely, making Dusk's male self look more and more feminine. Chip theorizes it's because of Twila's limited shape-shifting ability when she takes over messing with Dusk's DNA, although no one is quite certain. Regardless, Dusk now has to deal with looking rather adorable and being mistaken for a girl all the time every time he comes back from being TG'd.


It took a while, but he did discover that he wasn't exactly STUCK like that. His body would naturally got back to looking masculine with enough time left alone. It didn't exactly 100% bring him back to full guy look, but he took what he could get. 


Honestly, he acts all tsundere about looking feminine whenever he's stuck in his fem!design, but he secretly really likes being thought of as cute. He'd never admit it, but he does like to indulge in looking pretty in secret...and his mannerisms due unintentionally become a lot more feminine to match his looks.


But don't you forget, he's still 100% man if you ask him. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Character Break Down:

"Full Name": Dusk Esteban Belmonté

Sexual Orientation: Claims asexual...incorrectly. He's bi, he just doesn't quite understand how to reciprocate love properly and gets flustered, so he avoids the topic altogether.

Age: 23

Birthday: June 3rd, a Gemini.

Ethnicity: Dominican Hispanic, with Italian ancestry on his fathers side.

Family: Morgan Belmonté (Father), Aurora Belmonté nee Villanoche (Mother), Meridia Belmonté (Sister), and a bunch of cousins, uncles, aunts and other relatives that aren't immediate family.


Hair Color: Almost milk chocolate like, though the ends of his hair have started turning a reddish purple for some reason. In his feminine design, the gradient ends up being redder. 

Height: In his masculine look, he's 5'7''. In his feminine look, he shrinks down a bit to 5'5''.

Weight: He doesn't change much in mass in either form, he's 185lbs. 

Other Features and Facts: Besides the obvious feminine hips, legs and butt, he's also riddled with freckles. Due to some 4th wall things, his eyes are also...strange. They look very toon-like. He's missing his right hand, replaced with a functioning ice replacement. A very anime like fang also protrudes from his top teeth. For some weird reason, robots really seem to like him, so he's got a good understanding of A.I. Plays brass instruments very well, does street performances as a side gig in Central Park. A secret skill of his is mixology, being astoundingly good at being a bartender and mixing drinks. He reckons his ice powers have something to do with it, allowing him to chill drinks as he wishes. 


Overall Attitude: Very happy-go-lucky and tends to go with the flow. Likes to rely on his gut when it comes to decisions and is very spontaneous, which plays into his fighting style a lot. Tries to play off the fact that he has a tendency to look like a girl in situations out of his control, but really he's been tackling his feelings of self identity behind the screens. He tries to act as if it bothers him, but he secretly really likes how he looks. However, he's also not upset with his masculine form. So he's not entirely sure how to feel. Is almost aways willing to test a new Chip experiment if it means he'll get something cool out of it. Tends to give off a goofy vibe, which catches people off guard when he reveals he's actually rather bright. Lately, he's become a bit more snarky due to various encounters with the multiple versions of himself across the multiverse. Seeing himself through outsiders eyes has taken a toll on his personality, though he's not sure whether it's for better or for worse.

Problems: He's a fidgety boy. Can't sit still for more than a few minutes, needs to have something to keep him occupied. Has a tendency to be a bit flashy with his moves, which can tend to backfire. Also, he does not take well to being falsely accused or framed of something. Is very much a glutton for food. His mind works faster than his mouth, so occasionally he'll switch conversations in the most seemingly random way, when it seems to make sense in his mind.

Phobias: Heights, Absolute Solitude...and anything that takes away the ability to control his own body, but still leaves him able to witness it. Possession, petrification, anything where it's essentially a "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" situation.

Style and Mannerisms: Plays up his goofiness, but is ultimately a good listener who earnestly wants to help people out of the rationale that good just feels good. He also has a weird thing that he does with his speech where he'll answer a question with a single word first, pause, and then elaborate.


Relationships: He's a friendly friend frienderson to practically anyone, and loves to give people the benefit of the doubt. Romantically...he's a bit of a mixed bag. He's learning a few things about himself that he never would have thought about, like the fact that he actually enjoys being considered cute, and things that make him feel cute, like being pat on the head. Admittedly, anyone who compliments him can make him blush easily, and that tends to make him act all tsundere towards them.

Likes: Traveling, and especially sightseeing. Also being imaginative with his powers. Eating is a big like for him, and he's always up for video games. Other than the cliche stuff, he's also rather good at cooking.

Moral Alignment: Chaotic Good.


Powers: Cryokinesis, with an emphasis on the close combat aspects of it. He's very flashy and loves to create stupidly big items to smash people with out of ice. One of his favorites is an actual on-model replica of the Titanic that he just sorta drops on people. He's also immune to cold temperatures entirely, and can survive in even the harshest winters with a t-shirt and shorts. It's also thanks to Twila that he has a buffer against any type of possession, 

Weaknesses: Standard ice weaknesses, like large amounts of fire and heat. It does have to be LARGE amounts though, since his control is more or less focused on temperature rather than quantity of ice. And while he can't be possessed as easily, he doesn't get Twila's complete immunity to mind-control.


Favorites:

Color: Teal, leaning towards the bluer spectrum.

Animal: Manta Rays, Polar Bears, Moths, Seals...he's a sucker for cute critters.

Places: Riding in a Subway car, preferably above ground. Loves Downtown cities too.

Food: Chicken Cordon Bleu, and Iced Coffee.

Media: Video Games, prefers platformers and the like. 

Holiday: CHRISTMAAAAAAAAAAAAAS


Songs Associated with Him: 

youtu.be/mItuZ8i4wH8 ("Invincible" by OK Go)

youtu.be/B1lNhNHdoPI ("Ain't Nothin Like a Funky Beat" by Hideki Naganuma)

youtu.be/P7m70HklRsY ("Cool Edge" by Sonic Unleashed)


Possible Voice Actor:

-Wambu, at least for the more masculine side. Yes, the Youtuber. The Chandelure who makes Top 10's. I don't know why, I just feel like his voice conveys the type of fast paced word play and comedy but also just the right amount of screw-ups and stutters, and his laughter fits like a T. 

-Michaela Dietz when in his more feminine look. When she's trying to do a guy voice, it feels just like what Dusk would sound like as he tries desperately to assure everyone he's still all guy. Also like, her voice has that bit of sass that's been a growing trait of Dusk's.
