Octavinelle

Azul: The song ceases, the sun sets. I extend my benevolent hand to you poor, unfortunate souls. Now, to business! It’s a Deal. His signature spell is called "It's A Deal" and it's a golden scroll. As long as someone signs a contract with him, he’ll be able to confiscate one of the target’s abilities. If the target doesn’t fulfill the contract's conditions, they're bound to work under Azul indefinitely. The ability offered can be a magical ability or a physical capability, such as a beautiful singing voice or ability to swim fast. Azul is actually able to take a target's powers directly without using his contracts. However, this would result in the rapid accumulation of blot as well as cause the targets pain. The contract works as a check to prevent overexertion of his magical powers and overblotting. floyd: There’s a nice mood goin’ on, but I think I’ll interrupt. Bind the Heart. Floyd's signature spell is called "Bind The Heart." It’s magic that gets in the way of an opponent's attacks so they always end up missing. Others comment on how Floyd can misdirect the spell sometimes, depending on his mood. jade: Don’t be afraid. I want to help you. Shock the Heart. Jade's signature spell is called "Shock The Heart." When cast, a person who looks into his left eye will be forced to tell him the truth. He cannot use this spell on the same person more than once, and its effectiveness is not guaranteed. The spell usually doesn't work on overly cautious people, or people who are strongly resistant to magic. And even when the spell does succeed, a strong-willed person may refuse to tell him important details. It works best against those who always have their guard down, or those in a state of mental vulnerability.

Floyd first comes off as very laid back and talks in a lazy-like mannerism. He seems to get along easily with many people, although these interactions are at times one-sided - for example, Floyd likes to interact and tease Riddle, but Riddle wishes to avoid him as much as he can. Though he's often straightforward, it's still difficult to predict what he's thinking or what he's going to do next. Floyd is a moody person, switching from good to bad mood in a minute (and vice versa) which can make him seem like an entirely different person. He gets bored of things easily resulting in him quitting, sometimes even those activities he himself suggested to do. Because of his whims and mood-swings, some people find him troublesome to deal with. However, if something catches Floyd's interest, he becomes rather enthusiastic and focused. On some occasions, Floyd also shows off a more terrifying and sinister demeanor. Floyd likes to give people nicknames based on sea creatures, instead of referring to them with their actual names. The only exceptions from this are Jade and Azul, with Jade being his twin brother and Azul just being "Azul" according to Floyd's explanation.

Floyd is a young man with fair skin and a height considerably taller than his peers. His appearance mirrors that of his twin brother, Jade Leech. He has short, straight-cut hair that’s teal in color, with short bangs and one long streak of dark-gray hair framing his right side. His eyes have complete heterochromia, with his right eye being yellow, and his left eye being olive-brown. Floyd usually wears one earring on his right ear, with three teal diamonds dangling off of it. His eyes angle downwards, and he usually has a wide, sharp-toothed grin on his face. Floyd’s uniform is similar to the rest of the Octavinelle students. Floyd has purple coloring under his eyes 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 black, high-waisted dress pants, white gloves, and a black fedora. His undershirt is light-purple, while his bow tie is white. Floyd’s bow tie isn’t wrapped at all, and instead loosely hangs around his neck. The double-breasted suit has a purple underlining, and Floyd keeps it unbuttoned. He also keeps his undershirt partially unbuttoned. Under Floyd’s suit appear to be dark-purple suspenders. 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. Floyd wears black and white wingtip shoes with wedges and black laces. Under the 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.

Jade often presents himself in a polite and formal manner, putting on a friendly smile; which often leaves others with the impression that he's humble and gentle. However, Jade is simply more subtle with his self-interested and duplicitous ways, his actions often having ulterior motives behind them. He also likes to cause discomfort or problems for other people for his own enjoyment. Jade often acts like a supervisor for Azul and Floyd, monitoring their actions.

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. Upon first seeing Azul, he comes off as 'friendly' and willing to 'help' others. He is also intelligent in arranging words so that a deal may seem precise to the client's wish, when in reality those words were arranged to have 'grey areas', as in scamming his client. Azul is also known to be sly, being able to convince almost anyone to sign a contract with him. He is also seen to be skilled in every aspect. However, when the truth is revealed in Book 3, turns out that Azul has been very insecure about himself, especially his "chubby" (said by Floyd) octopus form, as he's been bullied and socially isolated by the other mermaids. Although Azul was bullied for his sluggishness and ink-spewing tendencies as an octopus mermaid, he also realized the perks of his octopus-mer form at a young age. Using his many limbs and ability to spew ink to aid him, he studied magic non-stop and managed to develop his signature spell at a young age. Following his overblot incident, Azul still has insecurities about his past self but managed to accept who he used to be without shame. In addition, he stopped tricking his customers. Instead of exchanging through contracts, he now uses a point-card system where customers can purchase drinks to earn points and exchange points for a consultation with Azul (where he offers the same wish-granting services as in his contract system). This reflects Azul's fondness for making money.

Azul is a fair-skinned young man of 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 cummerbund 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.
