Description

Aaliyah is 161cm tall and weights 62kg. Her boobs measure of a 32B in bra size. She has natural brown hair, that goes down in waves a tad further than the middle of her back. She has freckles over her nose and cheeks, that will show forcefully when she gets the warm sun onto her skin a couple of days. Her eyes are of a brown tone. Aaliyah has a cleft chin, which people like to call 'butt chin' or 'booty chin', that she didn't like for a long time but has come to terms with. She likes to walk around natural, not so much make-up and comfortable clothes, but doesn't mind glamming up every now and then. She has several tattoos on her body. She also has a huge smile, which people have made fun of, but she will not stop smiling because of that.

(Meaning: Silent Flower)

Sexuality

Personality

Aaliyah is a calm person, who can sit and listen to you for hours. She doesn't erupt very often or easily. She tries to solve everything with words and kindness. Her heart gets heavy whenever she witnesses pain, hurting, prejudices, hate or unfairness. The woman doesn't understand cruelness or being divided by simple things like religion, skin color or sexuality. Before coming down to earth she hadn't known a word for 'sexuality', they just called it love, hadn't known that religion and skin color was a reason to hate for some people. She loves nature, animals and children and is protective of them. Liyah almost got a heart attack the first time she visited a zoo and had to leave after five minutes. Caged animals, no matter why, are hurting her heart and she doesn't understand why it would be necessary.

In her free time being outdoors in the nature where no cars drive, no houses can be seen, no loud city noises can be heard, is her favorite thing to do. Right next to writing songs and singing. She likes to have fun dancing and exploring the world, climbing, jumping, swimming. She loves to ride her bike and prefers it over cars or buses or trains. It feels more natural to her and she likes the wind in her hair.

She loves learning new things and is always very enthusiastic about it. Testing out new sweet treats is one of her favorite things. She loves movies, though she is always shitting her pants during any kind of horror movie (even if it's really not scary!).

Aaliyah is easily hurt, because she still hasn't quiet understood that sometimes people don't mean what they say. So she takes a lot of things to heart even if she shouldn't. But she has been working on that for a long while now and it's slowly getting better.

Liya benefits from several abilities that are common for her species.
(See 'Abilities of her race' in the CS)

The Dilloth can't tell untruthful things. Therefor Liya can't lie.

Backstory

Liyah was born on a planet called Astraea and she was the princess of the Dilloth - the race that inhabited the planet. She grew up in the forest along the other ten or so children. She spent 200 years on that planet, played in the crowns on the trees and lived within wonderful wooden places in their forest. On her 200th birthday, Aaliyah got crowned as queen. And suddenly she was in charge of Astrea, a very small planet, nothing compared to earth. But it was home. Until an evil outcome forced the whole species to flee. Not all of them made it.

While the common people slept, the royalty as well as some advicers and healers kept awake on the ship they had fled the burning planet with, heading towards the next best planet to live on. The species that seemed most like them, most to accept their ways and to welcome them was the human race on Earth. It took only 17 years for the Dilloth to arrive on Earth, year 1600.

But the force had followed them and when they had landed and exited the ship something happened. The Dilloth have the ability to turn into trees and they use to do that whenever danger tags along, to hide in plain sight. When they did it this time, they froze in their state. All of the Dilloth at once had been trapped into their tree form - except for one. The young queen met eyes-to-eyes once again with the force that had killed her planet and over half of her people back home. And what they wanted, she couldn't give them. So they left all of her people frozen in their tree form on a planet of people that considered trees a source, something they could kill to use the wood. The queen - all alone with no parents to guide her, no one to talk to, no advicers, no healer by her side - was lost. Of course she tried to find a way, she tried to find the cure - that she knew existed somewhere in the possession of the great evil that had done this -, but after having been everywhere and having found not one clue, she didn't know how to proceed further. All her ideas failed. All her people were trapped for eternity.

And the princess soon too learned, that not only had the great evil trapped the Dilloth in their tree form, but had stopped all Dilloth from growing. The trees didn't grow, after fifty, hundred, two hundred years they still stood at the same size - and so did she. Aaliyah hadn't aged ever since that day, she was doomed to forever be in the position of the queen that got half of her people killed on the first day since coronation and got the other half stuck forever 17 years later in a world that would only gladly kill them one by one.

These days, Aaliyah still feels terrible about it, still hopes for an answer, a solution, but has barely any hope. She had given up. She had started to live like a human as best as she could.

_{(There's a full, fleshed out story to why and how all this happened, but I didn't wanna write even more in the CS to bore you all.)}

Abilities of her race

The Dilloth have something within their blood, their DNA they call Eredh (translated that means 'Seed'). The Eredh is something that is a part of them like smelling or hearing. They get born with it and some have a stronger Eredh than others. And the Eredh gives them some abilities.

Eredh is a natural thing that once existed in all of nature's creatures; plants and animals alike. Animals and plants do not have a strong Eredh, they can not 'use' it in the way the Dilloth can. But every Eredh can feel when there's something around with Eredh, how strong their Eredh is. And so it comes that all the animals can feel when a Dilloth is near them and they happen to not be afraid of them, to not be aggressive towards them. They respect them. Though they do not listen to them or do things they want. They simply feel that those people mean no harm due to the Eredh within their veins. On the other side of the coin the Dilloth feel pain whenever Eredh around them is destroyed, therefor they would cause themselves physical harm by harming an animal or by killing a tree. It's a two way street. On a sadder note, not all animals still have Eredh though. Animals in the wilderness are more likely to still have their Eredh than animals that are living among humans or in captivity.

The Eredh that runs through their body gives the Dilloth the ability to interact and behave in the environment differently than any other species. They can walk within nature - and only nature! - without making a single sound. They can climb like it's their destiny, are fast on their feet and have quicker reactions than most other species. The Dilloth learn to use daggers and bow and arrows, but they don't hunt with them. They use them in a different way. They have a natural good aim and many train this ability to perfection. So did Aaliyah. (Due to these abilities the Dilloth could be trained to be amazing warriors, if only they would consider to harm anything. But it never even occurred to them that their abilities could be used for military reasons.)

Eredh is also within water. Underwater the Dilloth can see and breathe. This is because the Eredh in the sea will naturally give them the things they need to survive down in the deep. Like plants underwater. The Eredh in the water needs to have time to adjust to her body though, so the 'survival abilities' for underwater will only kick in after around 30 seconds of being completely underneath it. If she gets out of the water before the thirty seconds, it will not work. If water gets pushed over her head, she will not be able to connect to it's Eredh. However if her head gets forced down into water, after thirty seconds she will be able to breathe within it. She can't connect to the Eredh when she is unconscious. She has to be awake for it.

The Eredh forces the Dilloth to always speak the truth, they can be silent if they wish or tell half the truth. But no untruthful word will ever leave their lips. They're unable of doing so. They learn to use their words wisely. By not lying but using words that will set a different kind of thought into the head of someone, they still can prevent themselves from having to spill a truth they don't wanna share. A woken mind will notice their way of words though and not be fooled.

Eredh is able to heal. This process is something the Dilloth have to train hard for, for a long time before it will work at all. Some very few are even able to resurrect someone. Healing someone is a tiring process that considers a lot of attention and strength as well as life. By healing someone, the Eredh will go over in their body and quicken up the healing process. But it comes with a price. Not only will one feel weak, dizzy and maybe even faint, but they will be giving away a part of their lifespan. Every healing process, as little as it might be, costs them a little bit of their own life. The bigger the wound, the bigger the price. So resurrecting someone can cost the Dilloth hundreds of years of life and even cause them to die immediately. The Dilloth respect death and do not make use of their power to resurrect (not that many can anyway). They also prefer to let wounds heal naturally, using natural salves and bandages.

Sex and all that

Sexuality is a word the Dilloth do not know and Aaliyah only learned it when she started to live her life on earth. The Dilloth do not consider themselves straight, gay, bisexual or whatever weird words Liyah had heard. They call it love. Simple as that. So she didn't understand why the human race needed different words for the same thing and even felt hate towards some love. It confused her and angered her.

Having a child is a completely different thing for the Dilloth. A child will only ever be born when two people have physical contact during the deepest emotional connection. Physical contact can be anything, from touching a cheek to holding hands to having sex. The deepest emotional connection is more than love, it's two souls physically connecting. It's a special bond, a moment full of vulnerability and weakness and pure emotions for each other. During the deepest emotional connection a child will only be received when the Eredh within one person feels so very pulled towards the Eredh of the other person that a spark of it will leave the body to go over into the one of the partner. That kind of connection is rare. Any couple can get children, the sexual organ is not needed to reproduce. The men of the Dilloth also can receive and carry out children, though they always have to use a risky C-section for the birth of their child. So it can always be that a same sex couple will have a child or that a man will be pregnant with the child of his wife.

Due to the very deep connection to be existent when receiving, children are always born into a loving family. Children are something very precious, because the connection and the ability of the Eredh to split a part of it and jump over into the partner's Eredh is a rare and very beautiful thing. Children are always happily welcomed and are always a blessing. And they're always single children. In the whole history of the Dilloth there were only a very few siblings. For the Eredh to split once and do the incredible task of producing another Eredh, a little child, another little light is a miracle, a wonderful thing. But for it to happen twice is completely out of the norm. There has been siblings, but they're so extremely rare that one would never even consider that they could have two children.

Ink On Your Soul - Reboot (Members Needed!)

@GoodLuckTuck So you're still accepting new characters? I just seem to get drawn back to this again and again for some reason....

When the Darkness Comes (REBOOT)

This sounds amazing. I'll consider it. If I join, I'd love to have relations, like maybe a friend and a girlfriend or something. I find it interesting to droo into a rp with already existing relations and people my character cares about. How would our characters die? Only during fight scenes? Will the GMs then decide for one's success in the fight or if we die?

Good work on this so far.

The girl that stood a couple feet next to Valentina offered her a hand shake and Valentina accepted with a soft smile. They shook hands. The young girl saw Ramona shoot her a genuine smile as the girl asked her for a family trend in their Hogwarts houses. Ramona put the measure tape back around her neck and left the girls alone, probably to go get a robe that would fit Valentina the best and then start to work on the lengths that wouldn't be perfect yet.

Valentina shot the other young girl a slightly confused look, not because of the question but because she was trying to remember if there has ever been a trend within her family. "I don't think so", she finally said. "Uhm.... Ramona is... She was a Hufflepuff, just like Dad. But Luciana - she is a Gryffindor. And Mom... she... didn't attend Hogwarts." Valentina frowned slightly. Maybe if her family had a trend, she wouldn't be so nervous for her sorting. She would already know her house beforehand. "What about your family? Do you have a guess what house you will be getting into?"

The brunette witch had no idea what house would fit herself and she was quiet nervous because of it. If she didn't know what house would fit her, how would the ceremony choose a right one? Maybe they would pick a random one and she will turn out unhappy in her house? Maybe she would feel like she was in the wrong place? Or maybe none of the houses were fitting her? She didn't know what would happen if no one house fit her. Did that ever happen before? A student without a house? A student that didn't fit in any of the four? She should trust the ceremony. But she grew more nervous while talking about it.

"I am Valentina", she introduced herself. "Do you have older siblings that go to Hogwarts? Did they tell you what the ceremony is like?" Ramona had refused to tell her sisters anything and Valentina had looked forward to Luciana going to school and telling her, but Luciana turned out to be worse than Ramona. She didn't just not say anything, she told her a bunch of stories and with a little luck, one or two would be true and the rest outright lies. But Valentina was far from guessing which ones were the true ones. Luciana always shrugged when she asked if she picked 'the true version' of a story. She wouldn't tell her.

"Is it true that the ceremony consists of four tests that have to be solved and the one you solve the best or the quickest will tell you what house you belong in? One test for each house?" That was Luciana's story that Valentina thought could possibly be the truth. But Luci had a way of telling stories that sounded truthful.

The Maze

@ineffable I have a question. Can characters in this rp die?? Is the labyrinth deadly? Is there a storyline other than simply wandering through a labyrinth? I mean is there a why and a story behind all of it? Will our characters have a reason why they're out there and figure it out along the way and all that?

Do you plan on finishing the rp when the labyrinth has been conquered? Or do you plan on maybe going on with a story beyond the labyrinth? Or do you not have a plan for this at all yet, cause I probably wouldnt ^^

Dear Gamer: Let's Seek Each Other Out

>w< which is when this'll get fun.

This is already pretty much fun!!

Dear Gamer: Let's Seek Each Other Out

@Jiatsu Hoshido mhh doubling isn't my preferred solution. Because I think there sure are 3 people out there who would gladly join this. And they should get the chance to enjoy this rpg if they can.

Its hard when people vanish, especially in a story where you need them to participate or if they already posted and then suddenly vanish. That sucks.

Hopefully they'll be back. Have you texted Fabricant451 via PM? Maybe they will answer to that and let you know id they'll be back or not ?

The Maze

@ineffable Do you still plan on doing this?
