That Flamboyant Feathered Friend!
My name is Figaro or Figs. I go by other names. My "full name" is Figaro Skimperton... which is also my main OC's name. I go by he/him pronouns and I am a Southeast Asian (Indonesian) trans man. I am asexual and biromantic. I am a Gemini (May 26), I am 17, as well as an INFP and 4w5. My hobbies are transing the dead and reading, making art, as well as writing. My occupation is a foreign gentleman of dubious gender (in Quentin Crisp's words).
I describe myself as a dandy, a boulevardier (in name only), an aesthete, a flamboyant fop, and I pretend I live and thrive in the artistic, literary, and queer dandy communities of early 20th century and 1890s Europe (mainly England).My aesthetic is like a bizarre mix of rococo, Edwardian dandyism, bohemianism, 1890s aestheticism, pre-Raphaelite, traditional Indonesian motifs and aesthetics, camp, surrealist, overall eccentric vomit. "Maximalist" or "cluttercore" is a close term. Like a peacock. Yes, that's it. A peacock with panache.
