"What’s that? How does it work? Why does it work like that? Why?"
Age: 19
Appearance: Petra is not the sort of person to stand out in a crowd, being neither particularly attractive nor particularly unattractive, simply average. If someone had to pick a defining feature to describe her by it’d either be the constant bags under her eyes or the fact that she’s rather short.
Petra’s dress sense prioritises comfort first and practicality second, with little to no thought given to fashion. Petra has been known to wear mismatched socks simply because she found them together and has a habit of wearing the same clothes for days on end, up until they stop passing the sniff test.
Job: Full time uni student.
Cause of Death: Petra fell several stories out of a window after being bumped while trying to get a better look at an interesting bird. Miraculously Petra managed to survive the fall itself, getting off with several broken bones, some internal bleeding, and a concussion, nothing that couldn’t be treated through the wonders of modern medicine. Fate however had other plans, and the ambulance transporting Petra to the hospital was hit by a truck, finishing the job.
Background: From the moment she learned to talk, Petra has been asking questions. As a kid she drove her parents up the wall with her incessant questions, then later she did the same with her friends and teachers in school. When she wasn’t asking people questions she was instead explaining the things she’d learned to anyone who would listen, even when they definitely weren’t listening, because who wouldn’t want to learn everything about everything?
As she got older Petra eventually came to understand that there were people that disliked answering questions or learning new things. Try as she might, Petra never was able to fully understand that mindset nor how to predict who would hold it and quash her own curiosity simply wasn't in her nature, so instead she gradually withdrew from others in favour of studying the world on her own terms, becoming more and more withdrawn over time so that she wouldn’t risk bothering anyone.
Beyond that, Petra led a pretty uneventful life right up until the point of her death – she got passable grades at school, spent her free time learning about whatever she could, never made very many friends but considered those she did have to be good ones, and when she eventually graduated from high school moved straight on to higher education where she pursued a degree in science.
The single most interesting event in Petra's life would probably be her sudden death only a year into her degree.
Appearance: Where she blended in as a human due to her average appearance and build, as a slime Petra now instead blends in because she's literally translucent. In her resting state, Petra appears as little more than a raised puddle or perhaps a jellyfish-like dome. Her amorphous flesh appears clear at its thinest points, and purplish or blue at its thickest, depending on the angle and lighting.
Race: Slime
Deity: Drasil
Weapons/Tools: How Petra will fight is yet to be determined, but, probably magic, or better yet, avoiding combat entirely. As for tools, Petra has a whole new world to explore with all new rules to understand, whatever tools she’ll need will depend on the nature of the new world, not to mention whatever she’ll need to fill in the gaps in her education from Earth.
Likes:
- Science
- Learning
- Spicy food
- Getting lost in thought
Dislikes:
- Parties
- Sleeping
- Being a bother to people
- Formal Settings
Quirks:
- Very messy. Tends to leave things all over the place and considers the ‘floordrobe’ to be convenient and efficient. Somehow, she almost always remembers where she puts things and thus gets frustrated when people ‘clean’ her messes.
- Constantly fidgets and tends to externalise her thoughts through wild gesticulation.
- Bad at time management.
- People generally get one of two impressions from Petra; that she is a quiet and timid girl who could do with opening up more, or that she's overly brash and kind of weird. In reality, both perspectives could be said to be true, Petra is constantly nervous and cautious to a fault with little idea on how she's meant to interact with people outside of her close friend group, it simply happens to also be the case that at times Petra's curiosity gets the better of her, burning away any and all anxiety and hesitation whenever she feels she has something new to learn.
Skills: TBD
