FULL APPEARANCE:
Prompto has a slender build to begin with, standing at 5' 8" in height, but endowed with lithe, lean muscle from years of physical activity. His hair seems to have a mind of its own, vibrant blonde and fluffy, styled upwards. His eyes are a light blue, almost the same shade as Telgar ice. His skin is pale, yet dotted with freckles literally everywhere. Prompto prefers short-sleeved clothing and garments that flow with him, often mimicking his friend Noctis' taste in color: black. Typically, he's seen sporting a black tank-top with silver markings, an equally sleeveless black vest with a variation of silver markings and a red plaid sash over his rump, light black pants, sleek black boots to the knee with white trim, and black fingerless gloves. Lots of black, yes.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
An absolute delight to be around, Prompto is a bubble of joy and good vibes. He loves people, and strives to make others around him happy as hell. He is playful and easy to be around, with an upbeat attitude and optimism that's hard to beat. Prompto strives to keep everyone around him cheery like him, and possess an uncanny knack to make a room lighter with his presence. Prompto may whine and complain at times, but it's all for fun most of the time, and he is loyal to his friends for forever. He is also known as a notorious skirt-chaser.
Prompto is neither fond of or good at fighting, be it physical, verbal, or otherwise. He just doesn't have it in him! That said, he won't hesitate to defend those he cares about as best as he can. Prom is creative and resourceful, always finding treasure in another man's trash, and absolutely loves to tinker with junk he finds. He has a soft spot for animals, though not wildlife as much as domesticated animals. That said, bugs are his bane. Prompto absolutely hates bugs. So long as bugs leave him alone, he's content to live and let live, but if he sees a spider in his room? Prepare for a lot of loud screaming.
Sadly, Prompto battles constantly: with himself. He sees himself as inadequate and inferior, no matter what others say; feeling he isn't worthy to be in the company of those he cares about, but still wanting to be useful. He fears abandonment by his friends, and relapse into his old ways, as he still sees food as a comforting support. Once he gives his friendship to someone (which is often), they're stuck with him for life. And if that person leaves, Prompto finds himself feeling...adrift. Lost and alone, barely able to function like a normal human. The more close he is to a person, the worse he feels when they leave.
Additionally, Prompto feels uncomfortable and out of place in formal situations, such as Gathers and Feasts, feeling Holders and riders more suited to such things than himself. He also has a rather short attention span and a tendency for hyperactivity. These flaws, rolled together, can result in Prompto being unable to see that someone he considered a friend is possibly taking advantage of his weaknesses.
HISTORY

BIRTHPLACE: Unknown - raised in a minor Hold beholden to High Reaches
HISTORY:
Prompto is unsure of his origins. The story goes that he was placed into the care of his adoptive parents when he was an infant, with not a single trace of his biological parents. It's sad, but Prompto doesn't remember anything of his home, so it doesn't hurt as much as it could. Prompto grew up relatively alone. His adoptive parents were caring, yes, but often away with their work. With no siblings, Prompto learned to care for himself early on. With no one to interact with, Prompto turned to food for solace, becoming overweight and even ill at times. He became even more miserable, hiding himself away entirely.
Then he saw Noctis, the son of the Holder. It was a surprise to commoner Prompto, and immediately sparked a desire to interact with the other boy. But when Noctis started to approach, Prompto panicked and fled. He was all...round! Who'd wanna hang around with someone like him? It took a long time for Prompto to build up the courage, but he eventually approached Noctis, roundness and all. What a shock! Prompto and Noctis became fast friends, and Prompto has hung on ever since. His anxieties and fears fading in the presence of such an awesome best friend, Prompto entered a period of changes. He altered his eating habits, began to exercise properly, and dropped weight rapidly. By the time he was a teenage, Prompto was in the normal weight range and fit. He was ready to face whatever life threw at him! Bring it on!
Then, some Turns later, Noctis was Searched by High Reaches Weyr, and Prompto celebrated for his friend, encouraging him to go to the Weyr. What a tremendous honor! But once Noctis left for the Weyr, Prompto realized something: he was alone again. Alone, and passed up for Candidacy. Prompto fell into a depression, barely functioning after his bestest friend in the whole world left. But fortune smiled down on him, and another Searchdragon appeared shortly after Noctis'. Prompto was selected...He passed out from shock. When he regained his senses, Prompto was overjoyed. Now he could be with his friend and have this amazing opportunity! He accepted, bid his family farewell, and went to High Reaches Weyr.
