Character Sketches

[Cairn]

Just for fun, why don't you lay out a quick sketch of your character? Sometimes when I make a new character, it's on the fly, but most of the time I like to have a pre-determined set of traits that will really define them. You can put anything here, like why your character is the way he/she/kra is, what makes 'em tick, or just a short history. Heck, even a "sketch", as in a drawing will work. What do you imagine your PlaneShift character as?

I'll start (1 out of many >.> won't do 'em all):

Bryn Caminum, cyclical age 23
Race: Dermorian
Gender: Female



Temperament: Fiery. She's very unsure of herself, with a tendency to overreact to a lot of situations. She could be seen as bi-polar perhaps, with fits of shyness, envy, and rage her most common emotions. She's detached from life a bit, and naive, believing herself be the end all on most subjects and the authority on things she has no clue about. She can be construed as cold, but in reality puts herself too deeply into most situations, creating problems.

A li'l background: Born a blacksmith, loves blacksmithing, can't lift a hammer to save her life. She stokes fires, and well, being an incredibly trained and focused Red Way mage, does a good job of it. She has spent all of her life in and out of the Circle, with her father and mother at the Forges, and obsesses about fire in general. Very controlled use of it.

In Hydlaa: She's naive, and just wants to create her own life. She loves easily, loses quickly, and let's face it, kinda just leads a drama-queen life. She's a super-typical character, a little ordinary, but kinda what I'd expect from a citizen here. Magic is the norm in a land like Yliakum, and she just happens to use it for her job and be good at it. I like having a normal character sometimes, and Bryn may be as close as I get.

This wasn't supposed to be in "newbie help", right? 

[Cairn]

Actually, it was! I figure it can give a little Newby help, introduction, and some ideas all at once.

'Course, it can be moved. Whatever works best.

[Mariana Xiechai]

I'm in!

Evirea Pomolle
Race: Klyros
Age: Thirty (ish)
Gender: Female (Not that you can tell! And she'll tease mercilessly for this reason...)



Temperament: She's a cold heartless, calloused soul! Or at least she'll let you believe that, and then turn around and save your character's life. With a rather convoluted sense of logic, Evirea trusts few to none, and lets her crusty (scaley) exterior scare away prospective friends in order to avoid her own personal phobias. However, the heart wrapped up in bitterness from a rather unfortunate background is a good one, and she'll go to great lengths to make sure people in the city remain safe. She's bright, educated, and a little more than socially awkward. Most of what she says is layered in overtones of rather heavy sarcasm and snark.

Background: Most of it is rather shrouded in shadows, (aka if you want to know, you must find out!) What some know is that she lost her parents some time ago, and the method left her incredibly distrusting, inherently. Now she runs around putting her sharp mind and tongue into investigations of various crimes, her methods questionable to quite a few. She's been successful in rooting out various "villains" (both in actual RPs and those set up as a part of her history "pre-Hydlaa"), but isn't likely to boast about the gorey specifics.

In Hydlaa: She's actually quite amusing if one can figure out half of what she says is meant in jest. For others, she might seem cruel, and possibly even cold. If there's something interesting going on, rest assured she'll come sniffing about. Only a matter of time.
