Source: Starbound (lets say heavily modded :P)
Appearance Description: Celina is a 4”3 size avail with mainly black, white and golden yellow feathers.
Personality: Celina is a curious girl that wants to see new things most of the time. She prefers trying to think before acting usually, not liking having to go on full force forwards when a fight does break up, even though sometimes there is no choices on that. Considering the work she ended up doing as a protectorate, she tries to protect people as much as she can when possible, although she does end up having a grudge on people that wants to trick or hurt her. Depending on the severity, it is either evade that person… or flat out attack them if she sees them again. This did end up having some issues with some avali’s that were not getting along at all and were prone to fights in the ship. It happened once that one of them was almost left dead with how badly Celina beat him up after he hurt multiple crewmembers with a rifle and attempted to get a mutiny up. What happen to those that did that instead was them being sent to an ocean planet, alone and stuck trying to survive there.
Backstory: Now where to start Celina’s story here… She was born in a distant world in a large avail camp with her mother and father, her mother being a merchant and her father a farmer. They lived on a rather cold planet, with snow falling down during most of the year. Lucky for them their plants resisted the cold and her father knew very well how to raise those plants. The nanocanvas also helped to keep them warm on those very cold nights at least.
As Celina grew, she had gone more and more interested in the protectorate, hearing stories about them saving people, helping gather resources and clearing out animals and monsters that kept attacking villages. She knew what she wanted to become as she grew up, but her parents were worried about her. That was a dangerous job to have and they thought she would have died if she even tried to do this… so they tried their best to stop her from leaving the planet to go join them, attempting to make her interested in other things instead. They tried to make her go in music classes with other avali’s, but she felt that music would not actually save or protect anyone in this case. Sure it did sound nice, but its not as if she could save lives with only music. They then tried to get her to learn more about science, but even if it sated her curiosity, it wasn’t enough.
All that attempt to stop her from even trying to sign up to be a protectorate ended up doing some extreme tension in the family unfortunately, with yelling happening a lot for about a week. She knew she could not get any ships to get out right now… but she felt like she needed to prove to herself that she could survive out there.
It was then that she decided to run away from her home, going into the cold wilderness of the planet at night. If she could prove to herself that she could survive, maybe her parents would realise that she wasn’t so defenseless. She ended up taking some equipment from her home before going to the wilderness, quarterstaff at hand right now, She wasn’t stupid here. Going out without anything would be suicide, that for sure. So she headed out, bringing also a mining laser with her as she went to dig underground.
Meanwhile at the village, search parties had been sent out when they discovered that Celina was not there anymore, people running around in the cold and trying to find Celina, worried sick about her. Her parents were worried they would find her dead, mangled by some savage beasts that lurk around the planet, blood soaked all over her body…
Meanwihle, Celina had been digging downwards, having gathered wood from the surface as well as some meat from monsters that she eliminated. She needed to show she could do it… It was also to prove to herself she wasn’t weak. She kept digging downwards, finding more and more ores as she digged down… until she landed in a cave and heard some loud growling.
Meanwhile on the surface though people were searching everywhere for her, before finding the tunnel that she dig down. They gone to head in, before hearing a deep roar from underground. They started to move quicker.
Celina on her side turned around, seeing a huge beast towering over her, with large teeths and sharp claws, as well as thick fur to protect it. When it tried to strike, Celina backed up quickly to get away from it, trying to then strike at it with her quarterstaff, not doing much to the giant beast. Celina frowned. How will she be able to defeat that thing. It was then that she was hit hard with a punch from that thing, making her lose her breath as she was sent to the wall… She slowly started to get up, feeling the cold wash over her body... it couldn’t be the end for her.. could it? Well, life had some little surprises for her, as she felt ice form around herself as the beast went to move forwards. It was then that Celina tried to hit it hard with her quarterstaff, but instead, a large icicle formed in the air and smashed hard onto the beast, piecing its arm and making it stubble back.
Celina was surprised to say the least about seeing this… but she didn’t question it. She concenterated on the cold that she felt, and then sent it flying towards the beast, pinning it down to the wall, hitting it with another, then another until the beast bled out, stuck in the wall, but Celina also losing consciousness from using that much energy. It was then that the search party found her.
When Celina woke up, she was in her bed, patched up. Her parents were both mad and glad that she survived that The scolding Celina had afterwards for worrying sick her parents… her four ears were ringing after all this, after all the yelling… but her parents understood something about this. Their little child wasn’t so defenseless after all, especially with her gift and maybe... just maybe she could help out the universe if she was able to leave this place. So it was then that she was given permission to become a protector.
When Celina healed up and heard about this, she was really happy. About finally being able to go and do her dream. So over to earth, she learned a lot about the universe, about what to expect, about also science things around the universe.
Years passed… she grown into a beautiful avail and also gained her very own mather manipulator as time passed and actually went to planet to planet with her own ship. As she explored the universe and helped more and more people, she gained many friends and helped a lot of people, also having more avail’s join her in her journey through the universe, having as if she had her own colony on her ship.
Time passed… it was about then that she heard the news about what happen to earth… destroyed by a strange creature, people fleeing and the protectorate destroyed by it… This made her feel extremely bad about all this. She went to head to the lab section of the ship, helping the scientists there, trying to figure out if there was anything that they could do… if there was any way to send a warning through time or something. They were also studying some old ruin texts and technology they had discovered not long ago… Maybe those had something to find out a way to send the warning. It was then that they had a theory… considering some energy from the technology they found, they could possibly mix it up with an FTL drive to get back in time. Well, this is where they were wrong, because when doing the test, the main FTL drive was affected, forcing everyone on the ship to jump to another place. Celina was worried when that happen.
“What is going on down there!” she said from the intercom, before some screaming avali’s could be heard, panicking.
“We don’t know! The FTL drive was acting up! We…” they say before the ship suddenly stopped, pointing towards a planet… and started crashing down right now.
“Everyone to safe cryogenic stations or safety pods! Get to safety!” she says before going to hold on, going to a special pod especially made for crashes.
A large boom could be heard in the forest… well.. considering the amount of ships… multiple booms we could say. When the ship landed, Celina got out of her pod, shaking right now, wobbling around, her head hurting… was everyone alive? Did they lose people.. she didn’t know.. and she sure hoped that everyone was alive.
