Icarus's RP Tumblr

Personality
Just like his namesake, Icarus is a guy of reckless ambition, willing to throw whatever he could risk away to get his wishes. He is made out of big dreams, inspiration but lacks the vision to turn these ideas into reality. He is a hard worker and overachiever, and always wants to be better than it is possible to be.

He's impatient with himself and other people. If things aren't going his way, or following his schedule, he gets irritated, often ranting on about things that annoy him or staying very, very silent. Icarus is sudden, unpredictable, and can go from silently calm to having bursts of temper.

He states things as they are. Maybe he'll throw in a sympathetic comment to soften a blow, but Icarus wants to get his point across, and wants to do this well. He's assertive, confident in his ideas, and quick to comment.

Icarus jumps to conclusions fairly often. He makes hypocritical statements and insists on amending them, but doesn't seem to have time. He busies himself with work and other such things, making excuses on things he hasn't fixed.

Appearance
The protagonist in the Juniper Tree was described as "red as blood" and "white as snow". Icarus has inherited the bright red hair and pale skin, which is dotted with a lot of freckles. He doesn't seem very threatening, being short and chubby. Icarus often has a grin or a smile of mysterious origins on his face.

Fairy tale – The Juniper Tree
How the Story Goes

A mother wants a baby. Once the baby was born, the mother died from happiness. Her husband soon remarried to a woman who wanted to kill the son because he would interfere with her daughter recieving the inheritance.

The stepmother offers the son an apple from a chest, then slams the lid on the boy's head, which tumbles into the chest. Afraid that she would be accused of her murder, she reattachs the head onto the boy and places the apple in his hand. Finally, she finds her daughter, telling her to ask the boy for the apple. If he does not respond, she should box him on his ears.

The daughter asks her brother, who (naturally) does not respond. So she boxes his ears, and his head falls to the ground. She bursts into tears.

Her mother comforts her, saying that they will disguise the body by making him into blood pudding. At dinner, Marlinchen, the girl, is still in tears, but the father devours the pudding with gusto.

Later that night, the girl goes to the Juniper Tree outside the window, crying tears of blood. Suddenly, a beautiful bird escapes from the tree, singing a song. Jeweleries and blacksmiths and various other craftmen hear this song, and offer the bird gifts.

The bird flies home, drops a pair of shoes into the girl's hands, a golden neckchain into the father's hands, and an anvril on top of his stepmother's head. The Juniper Tree bursts into the fire, and the boy returns, well, alive and happy.

This story is seriously macabre.

How does Icarus come into it?
As the son of the protagonist, Icarus is aware that he will be beheaded, made into blood pudding, eaten, turned into a bird then set on fire.

Lovely.
