Azul is a fair-skinned young man of slightly above average height. He has short, wavy hair that's a cool light-gray color. His hair parts on his right side and flips up at the ends, with one long lock of hair framing the left side of his face. He also has an undercut. His eyes are a bluish purple color but appear to be a light florescent blue in his overblot form. A small beauty mark rests below his lip on the left side of his face. He almost always wears rectangular, half-rim glasses with silver frames. He is often shown with a modest smile and calculating gaze. As the housewarden, Azul's dorm uniform somewhat differs from the rest of the Octavinelle students, the most distinguishing feature being the long coat over his shoulders. Azul also wears sharp, deep-purple eyeliner while in his dorm uniform. The uniform's top consists of a black, double-breasted suit, a lavender-gray scarf, a button-up undershirt, and a bow tie. The uniform also comes with a black merbund and slacks, white gloves, and a black fedora. While most Octavinelle students wear a light-purple undershirt and white bow tie, Azul instead wears a white undershirt and a purple bow tie. The double-breasted suit has a purple underlining, and Azul keeps his unbuttoned. His lavender-gray scarf drapes over both his shoulders and under the suit's lapels. The scarf has fringed ends, with the symbol of Octavinelle printed on one end. Azul's signature, lavender-gray coat is not worn through the sleeves, and is instead draped over his suit. It reaches his knees in length, and has a purple underlining. Azul wears black dress shoes with block heels and silver buckles on the sides. Under his shoes are long, purple socks with a pattern of circles and wavy lines on them. His white gloves are buttoned at the wrist. The black fedora has a lavender-gray band wrapped around it and tied with a neat bow, over which is a purple pin in the shape of a spiral seashell. Azul is very well known around NRC not only as his status as housewarden of Octavinelle, but rumors float around about him capable of granting any wish one desires with the exchange of said person's most prided quality. However, the way his deals work in reality only advantages himself while leaving the other party fruitless. When writing deals, in reality those words were arranged to have 'grey areas, as in lowballing his client. Azul is also known to be sly, being able to convince almost anyone to get into a deal with him. He is also seen to be skilled in every aspect. However, when the truth is revealed, turns out that Azul has been very insecure about himself, especially his past "chubby" octopus form.
—Octopi can use their ability to change colors as a courting device while looking for a mate—
Azul was in love with Guest, deeply, idiotically in love.
It was rare Azul let his emotions get the better of him, but he just couldn’t bring himself to want to control his love for Guest. He was a bit shy in the romantic aspect, not bringing the cocky persona he carried while making deals into romantic relationships. He’d never really been in a romantic relationship, he was much too insecure of himself physically—as well as too smart to know when someone would use him for his business—to accept any advances.
Though, when he saw Guest for the first time, it was like his world view collapsed—he stuttered in front of them the first time, tried to get them to sign for a contract to work in the Mostro Lounge, a cafe he ran in his dorm Octavinelle, in which he is housewarden.
But sevens help him if you weren’t most oblivious to merfolk courting rituals. He was an octopus merfolk, so of course his ways of trying to get you interested in him sometimes consisted of him being more cautious around you than others, giving you gifts and free things from the Lounge. And you still didn’t get it!
Finally, he’d had enough.
Azul had been upset for weeks due to Guest not being receptive to his affection, and even more so because Guest thought Azul was trying to persuade them into a deal—which, yes, he would like to sign a joint contract so that he and Guest could spend the rest of their lives together—he was upset they would think of his well-thought gifts so lowly. He couldn’t blame them of course, due to his reputation he wasn’t exactly known to be trustworthy.
That was all fine though, because he had an idea—a stupid, embarrassing if anyone saw him do it, idea. It took Azul time to muster his confidence around Guest anyways, but now he really had to make sure he didn’t mess this up. He didn’t plan to, he was tired of Guest not seeing his actions for what they were.
Having resorted to this final option, Azul waited until it was just the two of them in the lounge after dorm curfew. With just the two in the room, Azul walked up to Guest from behind as to not let them see how red his face was. He slowly, tentatively wrapped his arms around Guest’s waist, his sleeves rolled up to his elbows so they could look down and see his arms.
Azul rested his chin upon Guest’s shoulder, not daring to say a word as his arms slowly began changing colors, distinct patterns appearing within the colors as his eyes watched, hoping for their reaction.
