Psychological Attributes

Daring * Resourceful * Obstinate * Cynical

Sexuality: Heterosexual
Relationship Status: Single
Personality:

To most, Venua comes across as a rather cold person. Her strange getup along with face paint and equally strange hairstyle(long waist-length dreadlocks) not doing her any favours. However, she is not as cold as she may seem, as she gets friendlier to those she is familiar with. Highly cynical of the world with plenty of distrustful people around, she is not one to trust anyone lightly, but she will be loyal, however once her trust has been gained. Not one to take things lightly, she is serious and calm. She has a tendency to place greed over morals which does places a pretty big dent in the trustworthy department.

Venua is incredibly daring and fearless, always stepping in the face of danger, taking up new challenges along the way. She may be daring, but she is not reckless or impulsive. She knows how much to push, and how much would be too much. Intimidation is not something new to her when she has been exposed to it for more than half of her life so far. She faces her problems head on, usually resorting to violence instead of words. She sees someone who shirks their responsibilities and combat as weak and ill-willed. When it comes to intimate relationships, Venua is inexperienced, not having the chance to be in one so far.

History

Parents: Renua Hornraven/Mother/Deceased, Torstig Hornraven/Father/Deceased
Siblings: None

Childhood:

Born as Uthgardt barbarians in the Black Raven tribe, she grew up to a life of hunting and traditions. Venua learnt to hunt, to fish and anything else she needed to survive in the wilds. When she was twelve, she snuck onboard her parent's raiding vessel. Not surprisingly, they were not pleased, but they were too far out at sea to turn back now. Their plans for the raid failed when they discovered that their victims must have gotten sick of losing their things and had fortified their settlements with walls and a large army. They were prepared for them and the barbarian raiders failed miserably and were slaughtered. She saw her parents die just like the rest of the tribe present and was about to follow their fate when fate intervened.

The leader of the victorious army saw that she was different from the rest, and merely a child, compared to the rest of the adults. He decided to spare her life and keep her as a slave instead. So began the second chapter of Venua's life as a slave. She desired vengeance and would have it one day. When she reached sixteen, He sold her to a recruiter who was roaming for slaves to be trained as gladiators, after a sackful of gold. Girls strong enough to fight in the arenas were rare and highly sought after. Thus began her third chapter.

Adulthood:

Venua grew up into a fierce young woman. Her unrelenting spirit and perseverance has borne ample fruit as she rose from nothing into one of the arena's best gladiators. She was a natural with the longsword, and equally proficient with the use of her shield. She won match after match, be it beast or man. Fame and Infamy were born earned as she rose through the ranks. She became to be known as 'The Painted One', a nickname given because of the war paint she always has on her. After fighting her way to freedom, she swore never to be bound by such constraints ever again. Independence never felt sweeter.

Special Moments:

The victorious fight where she earned her nickname after slaying an ogre at the young age of eighteen. The burst of euphoria after the fight of her life which had earned her freedom.

Current Events:

Life after the arena has been blissful and free. No longer constrained by gladiatorial life, Venua joined a group of bandits for a period of time, trying out something new, but eventually getting boring of the lifestyle, she has taken to adventuring and exploring and has never felt better.

Still working on my character. It's going to take a little longer than I had anticipated. I'm sorry. I'll get it finished as soon as I can.

The Mundane [Small-Town Teenage Superheroes]

Location: Astronomy Club

Interacting with: Grant Wells via Text @Altered Tundra

Her sudden and rather unexpected display of power had gone and went. Gerard had forgiven and accepted her apology, despite a period of mourning the loss of his beloved cheese bread and coffee. Olivia was not expecting to be bestowed with powers or any kind, but then again she suspected that the feeling she was had was a common sentiment among her peers in the room. None of them had expected it as well and were understandably puzzled by sudden occurrence. It was the solar eclipse. It had to be. It was the only phenomenon that was highly out-of-the-ordinary in the last couple of days, and pretty much the only explainable reason anyone possibly see or pin-point it too.

Following up shortly after her rather bemusing display was the scene of Jay firing up his enthusiasm and began scribbling a series of theories on the black board. Gravity, Wormhole and Weather. Gravity, must have been referring to the incident earlier in the girl's restroom where Moon had floated up towards the ceiling. Wormhole was most possibly a theory of his to explain his teleportation powers. Weather. She didn't really thought hers fitted under weather, but then again she had barely seen much about her own power so far. The room was rather packed today, filled with plenty of confused people looking for answers. Even Jade was present, someone who was normally not seen in school, let alone the astronomy club. She must have been really curious about her sudden powers to even come in the first place.

Soon she discovered that she wasn't one of the few who had powers, but just one of the many. Richard and Jade both voiced out that they had powers of their own as well. King's one was rather amusing though, empathy. It was just funny thinking about it. It was as if a cruel joke was played on the guy himself. Scout, one of her besties made a dig on King, and she couldn't help but let out a stifled snigger.

She just loved the girl when she did that, heh. Her phone vibrated and played her super mario message tone. Curious, she slipped it out of her pocket and glanced at it. What she saw brought a wide smile to her face. It was Grant. Her other bestie and one of her closest friends ever. Olivia didn't tend to have many friends, and Grant was one of the best and closest. He was kinda like the brother she never had as the only child in her family. He wanted to play Final Fantasy over at his house. Video Games, just another of the common interests the pair shared with each other. Without any hesitation, she began typing out a message to her bestie.

Heyyy Grant! Yaaas, Final Fantasy sounds great! I'm still stuck in the Astronomy Club meeting though, but I'm definitely up for it later after the meeting ends. Do you want to meet up in school, and go back to your home together or will be you be going back first?

Your post is fine. I don't think mine was anything good either. :)

🦄 Duplicity - D&D Style Fantasy Rp Adventure (Completed)

Hey there @Lady Amalthea

I'll have the time to work on my character sheet after I get off from work.

Unfortunately, my knowledge on D&D is practically non-existent. All I know is that it stands for Dungeons&Dragons. Is there anywhere I can read up on for stuff like Class, Place of Origin(I know nothing about places in the D&D universe too) and maybe skills?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Beatrice Delacour

---

SOLIDER Base; Residential Quarters

---

Beatrice woke up early just like the rest of the SOLDIERS occupying the residential quarters. Waking up before dawn was a routine that each and every one of them had been conditioned from the start and were now overly familiar with. A vast majority of never didn't even need alarms of any sort to wake them any longer. It was now ingrained into them. After getting up from bed, she had gone through a simple wash-up that included washing up her face and brushing her teeth.

Once she was down with that, the perky blonde carried out a short series of warm-up exercises, stretching her muscles, chasing any remnant of sleep from them. With that over and done with, she left her bunk, heading towards the multi-purpose hall where the vast multitudes of warriors trained, sparred or played competitive games with each other. The hall was already bustling with activity and there were always a couple of spars going on. As she entered, Beatrice gave the wide open room a sweeping glance before her gaze locked onto an interesting sight. A person. Someone she knew.

The Mountain. Most knew him as Kain. But she gave him a nickname of her own. She referred to the hulk of a man as the Mountain due to his immense statute and muscle mass. He was huge, easily one of the largest and strongest men in the base. He was sparring, taking own someone smaller in size to him, but then again just about everyone was smaller in size to him.

Beatrice began sitting on one of the empty benches, observing the spar between the Mountain and his opponent. She watched as he received punches and kicks from the smaller guy, absorbing and shrugging them like they were nothing. Her show was interrupted when a tall and lanky guy came over and taunted her, egging her for a spar. She'd never seen the guy before, and he'd probably never seen her around before either. Must be a new cadet. Those are always over-eager to prove themselves to those watching. He must have thought of her as an easy target, being shorter and smaller in size compared to most guys around here. He was wrong. She was no easy picking.

Unknown to the poor fool, one of her specialities lay in hand-to-hand combat. Without any word or sign, the lanky fellow threw a sudden punch her way aiming for her cheek, probably hoping to catch her unaware. She was not caught unprepared. Countless hours of training has honed her senses making them acute. Real sneaky, and playing dirty as well. Well, I can roll with that, she thought to herself.

Beatrice countered the blow with a swift arm movement, and as the guy threw another punch in the opposite direction, aiming for her face, she followed up with yet another block, following his movements. More blows came, from a series of punches to kicks. Eventually her time came as she saw an opening. The man's moves was impulsive and relied on brute strength, lacking finesse and technique. He seemed to going on emotion rather than intuition. Throwing up a rising punch towards his face, he barely managed to raise his left arm in defence, blocking the blow, but that left him in a vulnerable position for what came next, a roundhouse kick aimed toward his chest, in a bid to end the bout in a decisive manner. She was starting to get hungry. It was time to end this, so she could go grab some food.

Unable to lower his arm fully in time to block her blow, her leg connected with her lanky challenger's body, sending him toppling to the sparring mats laid out on the floor with a heavy thud. That seemed to knock the wind out of him. He lay there for several seconds, his chest rising and falling deeply, shock clearly present on his face. He then got up, and surprisingly grinned at her like an abashed fool.

In between hushed intakes of breath, he exclaimed. "Well, looks like I just got schooled!" Beatrice gave him a wink as his remark. She was famished, and had only one thing on her mind now. Food. She quickly headed towards the direction of food, completing the former challenger's request for her name. "Hey! Wait-What's your name?" Beatrice loved eating. Through some wondrous work of nature, her body's high rate of metabolism ensured that she could eat as much as she desired without putting on much weight. Halfway through three plates worth of food, TV screens and alarms blared base-wide alerting the occupants of the summons.

Looking up to see herself included in the mix with her SOLDIER ID and picture displayed on the screen, followed by the loud speakers announcing the names of those that had been summoned. Beatrice sighed as she started to make her way towards the council room.

She wasn't done eating yet. Couldn't they have waited at least until she was done?

I remembered you mentioning about a uniform sometime back. Is that still a thing?
