MYO Aetherling Entry - Bonechime — Description
And here's my third and final entry, Bonechime
Though, his name may change depending on how I feel later.

He as well may or may not get a shade-job and the addition of clothing if I have time, but liekly, he's less likely to carry around anything, but might wear armor of sorts, just to keep himself safe from vultures or other birds of prey.

General Information
Name: Bonechime
Gender: Male
Essence/Element: Bone / Earth
Size: Cat-sized
Crystal Color: Bone
Personality: Quiet, depressed, brooding, anti-social, 'will fluff up at you if you threaten him, but really won't do much more than that'

Bonechime is a solitary aetherling that spends his days inspecting graveyards, taking the essence of bone for his own health, and wandering around without much purpose in life. Although he doesn't crave attention, or the closeness of others, he does often 'people watch', or, 'aetherling watch' to cure his boredom. Any direct contact or seeking out though, is treated as if the other has some sort of catch-able disease.

If you could say he enjoys any kind of company, you could say he enjoys the company of birds; they usually don't talk much, and if they do, he can't really understand them, so, it's a win-win situation. He also seems to enjoy lounging on headstones, or perhaps reading them? No one knows for sure, but he does spend a lot of time lingering around fancy headstones; the bigger, the better.

Although Bonechime seems to be your typical anti-social jerkface, he does have a reason behind his standoffish attitude, though, will rarely share it with anyone. It's not that he dislikes attention, he just has severe trust issues, and has seen the weight of what poor decisions in company has lead to.

Now, about his design; I was going for something darker and dreary, since my idea for him initially was something akin to the horse of death; hence where his mane comes from. So, along those lines, and being a graveyard junkie, I wanted to give him a bone-like designs, but it be more of...coincidental placement, rather than on purpose, or supposed to be shaped as anything; but essentially follow along the skeletal structure.

His stripes were a problem for me, since I tried out a few things before simply settling on..simplicity rather than something complex (I was wanting to give him hyena spots, or vulture banding, but meh) which, having the spaced out stripes looked a lot better to me than anything else I tried... furthermore, his white belly, and darker socks were more for just..appeal, than anything else (and he kinda looks like he'd be akin to a tuxedo cat- tuxedo-suit-funeral-deathy stuff) and that's just how my mind works anyways.

Other than that, he's pretty basic so far (I've had a lot on my mind as of late, so, will update later with more)
