Username: Spades Character Name: Chàrlie Chapeau Character Age: Fourteen. Character Gender: Female. Character Grade: 8th. Appearance: Chàrlie is a girl of above average height, appearing about '5"5, and her weight is an even balance to it. Her skin tone is light brown, being of mixed race (French and Hatian). Her hair is curly, shoulder length, and is dark brown in color with more copper undertones. On her face is a battle of both her parents' genes: she has her father's nose, mother's light brown eyes, her dark eyebrows, but her father's thin lips. What she wears is simple, a color blocked sweatshirt in colder weather and jeans, and red converse. In warmer weather she prefers shorts and a crop-topped flowy blue shirt with floral accents, and a thin black tank-top underneath, and the same red converse. Her hair is almost always down, but occasionally for a bit of change she'll gather her mess of stubborn curls and pull them into a high ponytail. Personality: Not knowing her, Chàrlie may appear distant and quiet, but still kind. Yet if you grow closer in friendship, this seems to change dramatically: she can grow extremely excited, loud, and funny. When she's not cracking perverted jokes or making snide comments about one of the more popular girls, she plays the role of a good listener and considerate friend. She may not exactly open up to you with her problems, but you can always come to her. Her darker side isn't all that apparent, it really only is seen if someone talks maliciously about her or a friend. She may not confront them, but she will let lose to a friend a string of whispered curses that would make a sailor blush. Biography: Chàrlie's family is small and close-knit, and always had been. She'd always had a good relationship with her parents, being an only child, so she was quite annoyed when they decided to send her to her Haitian grandmother in order to "branch out and find new friends and learn about her heritage!" She was twelve at the time. Chàrlie didn't quite like the change of surroundings, but she grew to love her Mémé Lani's blunt and straightforward personality. She learned to cook from her Mémé, which she loves to do immensely. She began to attend school in the area, Kadic Academy, and progressed decently there, becoming a pretty good soccer player. The time came at age thirteen when she had to make a choice: go back to her family in Nice or stay in Paris. She decided to stay with her grandmother, finding the opportunities offered at Kadic were preferable then the other schools she could have attended. Other: but there aren't two number nines.. I only saw one..

I'll have the ooc up tomorrow, and if it's still a small group then that's okay.

When people make their own Fae and prophets n shit I'll probably make her an NPC who's mentioned from time to time as the Mother of the Fae and Nature but isn't really seen or heard from again. > > > > The plot thickens. I think Lur is an interesting character concept. While I had originally wanted Synn to enfold the three Gods of Life into One being to even the odds against Chaos, Corruption, Destruction and Void, thus placing creation and destruction of life upon an equal field... As after all, he seeks control, and by elevating Faenos/Lur, he can maintain the status quo amongst the gods without the need of Balsis to intervene in the fairs of his children. > > I'm not sure when Dramur would grant the gift of sleep and dreams to the world. > > > Also, not sure what good is throwing a planet at a Goddess of Space... That's probably akin to throwing a ball of flame at a God of Fire... > Both of which should yield little results, other than perhaps comic relief. Ah, yes, the God of Control seeks to balance the playing field, makes sense.

Sorry it's taking forever for me to post, having a hard time coming up a character.

So I want Lur to be like, the mother of all Fae creatures, and she can also be like the first major rebellion against the Gods or something, idk. Everyone's free to use her in your posts as you want, I feel like I have to much power because she feels like a second character and that's not fair. When people make their own Fae and prophets n shit I'll probably make her an NPC who's mentioned from time to time as the Mother of the Fae and Nature but isn't really seen or heard from again.

The Faenos's lips turned upward in an appreciative, faint smile. The other part of the wolf shell she-- as it decided it would be as Synn said, a Mother of Nature-- she gathered in her arms and sat on her knees, unraveling the body like a grandmother who has mis-stitched and decided to undo her work. Eventually, the wolf was no more, and no evidence of such a unnerving display of formulation could be seen. But she was growing increasingly nervous, she had acted upon her own free will, and feared the wrath of her Creator. She could never return to him, she must hide from his sight for the rest of her days; she was full of such shame. Unease and regret battled for the dominant emotion within her mind. But also deep rooted was a sense of pride. The 'werewolf' she was proud of immensely: she had made something that not even the God of Animals himself had thought or tried to do. How could one not be filled with hubris, if just for a moment, because of such a milestone? She directed her attention back to Felin who had spoken not long ago, but she had been too nervous to reply immediately, out of trepidation if there were consequences. But Synn had made her think otherwise, and she opened her pretty mouth to finally respond. "What you saw was an act of a new demigod, Lord," The Faenos's voice rang out clear as crystal, "I do not want to be associated with the God known as Finnos, for he had made me with expecting me to die not long after. I shall be known as Lur, for I came from the Earth." She was no longer afraid, for she was capable of many powerful works. It appeared at the same time one of the other Gods, Ybris, appeared asking favor of Synn. She listened intently, still on her knees. Her brown hands rested atop her soft, long legs. As each of their voices rose to address the other, her amber eyes flicked back and forth with awe as the two joined hands and amplified the powers of Ybris. Such a powerful stand against her Maker, and she wondered how he would react to such a rebellion against his purpose for Man and beast. For this she admired them both, and wished to further their cause. "Lord Felin, Lord Ybris, please, bless me as your Child of the Ground, so that I may better protect the Earth than such an inconsiderate Brother of yours.. please." As she was already kneeling, she bowed low another time, trying not to appear too servile. "With your gifts I will expand my race of the Far and we will serve all Gods to your purposes of maintaining the Earth for all its inhabitants. Please."

> Any comments on how Synn's Characterization so far? > I am attempting to play out his dual personalities, but is it too subtle? > > Hopefully this latest post can take us to both extremes of his malevolence and benevolence with Werewolf and Ybris respectively. I enjoy the duality of Synn. It's subtle, the changes when he switches from "malevolence to benevolence" as you aptly call it. It's not so drastic that it's irritating, like he ends up dispatching the wolf or yelling at Ybris then... bam! Back to nice ol' Synn. It works how you did it.

> > > Accepted. I think the "Animals" aspect will remain with Finnos. You can extend into weather, but weather that has to do with water (Rain, snow, etc). > > > > Thank you! But couldn't she ask Finnos to grant her the power just to create water creatures? I have some fancy ides in mind. > > Well, water creatures, that's alright. Shoot a PM to Finnos's forum user and sort this out between yourselves. I say "yes", but I don't want Finnos to be disappointed or mad about this transfer. I'm all for it-- it makes sense for the Goddess of the oceans to have control over what lives within them. Gives Finnos some breathing space too, ha.

Bump

> > > > > On a different note, do the lantern's non-lantern forms HAVE to be something that the owner can wear? Or can they be another small object? I am having the WORST indecision with what to give Mitch for a lantern XD > > > > The whole point of making the lanterns wearable was so that the players would not have to carry them. Think of it as a portable hands off form. I'll allow anything, honestly, as long as your character is not physically carrying the lantern. > > > > What ideas did you have in mind for the portable form? > > I was thinking a little paper crane that sort of fluttered around. I was going to give him a paper lantern. Thoughts? That sounds pretty awesome, sure.
