At first glance Rhyme might seem like a cherubun that would prefer you keep your distance from him, but that... isn't entirely intentional. If anything, the cherubun quite enjoys other buns' company, but he does tend to lean towards being more of a listener than a talker. Not that he's incapable of the latter. He speaks rather fluently when need be. It's just a preference thing... for the most part.
Also, despite having a small case of RBF, Rhyme is actually quite friendly. Likes to try to help others... maybe a little too much at times. If you dare try to talk to this cherubun about some of your problems, chances are pretty high that he'll agonize about how to help. If he can even help. Seeing others struggle... is rough.
A hardworker; once this bun gets started with something it's pretty hard to get him to change course. Can and will toil away at something for hours upon hours at a time to get it done. Rhyme is also notably bad at taking breaks. Has gone days without sleeping or eating, and is certainly no stranger to bruises, blisters and the likes.
He's just trying to do a thing, okay?!
Those that remember him from the Heavenly Meadow might remember him as a bit of a cold, distant loner, but ever since coming to Burrowgatory Rhyme does seem to have opened up a little more. For better or for worse.
Messy thought-blurbs
- Rhyme is skilled at playing a fair amount of instruments, but his personal favourites to play are the viola and the piano.
- His singing is also quite good. Amazing, even. 'Angelic,' but... he doesn't know about that.
- Rhyme is also pretty darn good at dancing.
- 'Secret' anger [and sadness] issues. Back in the Heavenly Meadow, Rhyme learned to channel said feelings into things such as writing [poems and lyrics], taking long walks and... isolation.
- Rhyme is also kind of ashamed of his writing. Melangel had asked him about it once, out of curiousity, but upon showing one of his poems to them... Well. The cherubun ended up receiving the lecturing of a lifetime.
He hasn't quite found the courage to share his writing with anyone again since.
- Upon coming to Burrowgatory, though, a new outlet was found; sparring.
- While he does his best to hide it, Rhyme love, loves fighting. Almost to an unhealthy degree. If the succubun who decided to take him in didn't keep him in line in some ways...
- Also; it doesn't help that Rhyme is delicate as fuck.
It is not uncommon for this cherubun to participate in a sparring match and come back looking like he tried to take an entire gang on by himself.
- Jan has been trying to teach the cherubun a better, less harmful way of fighting, but... Sighs.
- Works part-time here and there... He'll do almost any kind of work, but he's still trying to figure out what he actually likes to do because it's fun. Not because it pays and makes him less of a freeloader.
- While Rhyme is perfectly capable of holding a conversation, the cherubun does seem to have a preference for listening over speaking.
- A darn good listener, Rhyme... somehow tends to find himself playing some kind of therapist to certain buns that seemingly got a little too comfortable spilling their woes to him.
- Not that the cherubun minds... too much. If anything, Rhyme genuinely does enjoy helping others, just... How's the inexperienced bun supposed to help with your sex life, gambling addiction, relationship issues, etc?
- Rhyme is... learning to swear. He's still not sure how he feels about it, though.
- If he could drink alcohol without the risk of dying he absolutely, positively would. At least to try.
- Has a bit of a sweet tooth.
- Not that it's a particularly common occurence, but... On the rare occasion Rhyme gets some kinda shy? He tends to hide his face behind his head wings.

The "Fall"
- He followed Melangel's teachings as closely and diligently as possible and even went above and beyond in some areas, but for some reason... While he did receive praise for things like having a beautiful singing voice, and being so good at so many instruments, for some reasons said praise never reached felt... half-hearted at best.
- Was it his mismatched, tattered ears? His 'imperfect' halo? His dark wings, which were such a stark contrast from his light coat?
- ...was it the boiling rage he felt deep, deep inside that he always tried to suppress to the best of his ability? Not understanding why it's there, or where it came from? Could Melangel see it?
- Or... was it all really just in his head? And he made himself a martyr for no reason?
- Whatever the reason, by the time Dove delivered their shocking revelation after their sudden return back to the Heavenly Meadow, Rhyme had been more than ready to leave... In theory. Actually taking the plunge proved to be... a little trickier than Rhyme thought it would have been.
- After having tried to tough things out a little longer though, one night Rhyme decided to just... go. Leave and never come back. After all...
- It wasn't like anyone would miss him, y'know?
- Well... anyone but his littermate, anyway. Who desperately didn't want him to go.
- Perhaps that's why he chose the night to make his 'escape,' so to speak.
- Either way, while he deeply regrets leaving his best friend and littermate behind, especially the way he did... Rhyme did not regret coming to Burrowgatory.
- Honestly? It had probably been the best decision he had made for himself... Probably.
NSFW information
A virgin with absolutely no romantic experience.
Not... necessarily due to lack of interest. Mostly just... lack of time. At least when he used to live in the Heavenly Meadow. His excuse now that he's in Burrowgatory? Uhhhh........
Might one day at least want to give the whole 'romance' thing a try... One day. Maybe.
