Aubree Lamay

Bree

morebree

Race:
Gem
Age:
19
Element(s):
Fire
Height:
5’9”

Bio:
It had never been a question on if Aubree was selected, only a matter of when. From the time she was old enough to know that she was pretty, Aubree knew that her fate and future lay not in her homeland, but that of their neighbors and overlords, the drakkan. It was a common thing that occurred for female members of the Lamay family, which had only survived though the male line alone. It was a sick joke that the Lamay's mothered half the Drakkan alive today. Since the history of the deal, none had every bore a Gem.

If she had been ever sad about it though, it passed the day she met Allie. The shy girl who blushed something fierce when Bree told her she was pretty. But it was the truth, from the first time Bree saw her, she knew Allie to be the most beautiful girl in Bree’s entire world. Together, they convinced themselves that the selection was not something to fear, but rather, the start of their true lives.

Much of Bree's childhood was filled with all the learnings of the drakken that were available to the gems. She was well versed in the history, lore, religion and most of the prominent culture traits. Taught to her to make the transition as smooth as possible. All of this information she shared openly and freely with Allie. As soon as they were old enough, the two girls took their studies even further. Researching how things such as how brides were selected and basic psychology of the Drakken race. After all, if they were going to be selected together, they would have to be prepared.

They planned for every thing that would occur after they were selected to be brides. The best course of action to ensure they were selected by the same drakken husband. They choreographed exactly how the first night would play out, creating a system to ensure they would always have enough time for each other at the end of the day. They studied different plants that could be turned into balms that would keep tried husbands sleeping while the mice played. Beyond even that, they discussed at length the various methods they could be used in training a Drakken without him noticing, often using angry bulls as testers for their techniques.

As the year passed, and their time drew nearer, their plans became more vivid, discussing at length all the things they would do to each other, beyond kissing. Have planned to save each other for their first night of sisterwives. Whatever had to happen with their husband was always thought of as a price to pay for being able to love each other fully, each and everyday.

When the day came though…all their plans fell apart.

They didn’t choose Allie. They didn’t even look twice at her. They just took Bree and left.

It took the whole journey for Bree to figure out what her next step was: She was going to spin a tale of the most beautiful girl in the world. One her husband couldn't live without. It might take a year, maybe two, but she would have her love again.

i'll get wifey3 posted either tonight or tomorrow. one of my essays got postponed which means I can breathe and relax a bit

[Ellion]

I know we are still waiting for wife 3, but how do you all feel about getting intros posted?

[RomanAria]

I did a little post. Sorry it's so short.

[Saltwater Thief]

I know we are still waiting for wife 3, but how do you all feel about getting intros posted?

@Ellion

Seems to me it might be best to have you 3 intro the wives, then I'll intro Dorian and stake the claims all at once.

Better do it quick though...

[Ellion]

@Saltwater Thief I'll start working on one, lady friends of sir salty, can we agree to have intro posts by Sunday? @RomanAria @NarcissisticPotato

[Saltwater Thief]

@Saltwater Thief I'll start working on one, lady friends of sir salty, can we agree to have intro posts by Sunday? @RomanAria @NarcissisticPotato

@Ellion

You have no idea how funny/adorable that is to read xD

[RomanAria]

@Ellion ye, will do. Finishing Liana's CS (Idfk why I keep changing her name) tonight. She's a little... interesting. If you don't like her I'll change her to be more normal *notes that learning about awkward genetic things in bio and chem while doing character sheets is probably not good.*

[NarcissisticPotato]

@Ellion

Not saying anything but Talli is already best waifu just so you all know...!

[Ellion]

@NarcissisticPotato I mean... Her current competition is currently lusting after another girl...but exhibit a. google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&u..

[Ellion]

@Saltwater Thief so, I am 50% adorable 25% evil, 25% hot air

I apologize for the sloppy image- I was getting frustrated at the dollmakers and then inkscape kept crashing and just ugggggh.

Liana Kasmussen

Race:
Gemminite
Age:
18
Element(s):
Eheheheh… it’s complicated…. See bio.
Height:
5’2”

Bio:
When a Fire gem from the southern border and a Water gem from the farthest north fell in love, no one had any idea what the child was going to be, but they certainly didn’t expect someone with Liana’s coloring. From the moment she was born she seemed to be a patchwork of tiny whorls and specks of alabaster and golden flecks, her hair streaks of dark copper mixed with lines of platinum blonde, one eye deep golden and the other icy blue. She was certainly odd-looking, but beautiful, in her alien way.

As she grew up, there were other oddities about her, most notably in her command of elements. While most gemminites had some level of proficiency, if not mastery, of one kind of elemental magic, Liana struggled with even the most basic of magics—for a while it was believed that she was one of the rare cases that didn’t have any noteable magic. They couldn’t even try classify her element until she was fourteen.

That day, in fury at the torment of the other children, something in her snapped, and she cast a shower of sparks at them, while a sheet of water splashed down on their heads. In fear the children ran away- they’d never seen a gemminite who had two elements. They thought, at first, that she was a drakken, and made a great show of checking her to see if her horns had sprouted yet.

Fiercely determined, Liana did not let their taunts get to her, for now she knew that she wasn’t as useless as she thought- if anything, she was even more unique. She spent countless hours trying to hone her magic and now has some control, at least, over both elements, though she is still much, much weaker with her magic than nearly all gemminites would be.
Other:
Liana is, like her elements, borderline bipolar.

@ellion@narcissisticpotato@saltwater thief (sorry for double post, forgot to ping)
if she's too weird, I'll un-weird her. But yes, mosaic characters, aka why Aria can't be allowed to write new characters while goofing off in bio lecture.

[Ellion]

@RomanAria she seems fine personality wise. I think that my only problem is her having two elements in any sense since I am pretty sure that having only a single power is a pretty strict thing with gems. But seeing as no one can tell you otherwise, it truly is up to you

[RomanAria]

@Ellion going to wait for the other two to weigh in on it. Where I was going with that was the whole chimera/mosaic thing - technically her body has two different genetic codes, expressed independently in individual cells - elements are heritable, so they're encoded genetically in some way or another, so it's possible that she has two different elemental powers each being expressed in half the cells in her body. Or something. Depending on what Tato and Salty say, could take that bit out.

[Ellion]

I'll have my intro for Bree posted today! It is hard to type with cold fingers

[Ellion]

@NarcissisticPotatoAre you starting Talli fresh or are you just going to have her acquired as is?

[NarcissisticPotato]

@Ellion
I honestly don't know! Should we have her passed on from Lugft or should we just start fresh?

@RomanAria
She seems ok to me! Drakken have two separate elements and as long as she only has one element, I don't see a problem of her being a Gem!
