Character's Name: Eathelin

Nicknames: Lin, Linnie

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Species: Kelahati

Abilities:

While all kelahati can speak with animals, Eathelin's ability to bond with creatures is nigh unparalleled; she often wins over even the most sour wild badger, and is rarely seen without a complement of birds, rabbits, or her beloved sheep. She herself can shift at will into a young female lamb; her human form, while not completely free of bestial qualities, is passing enough that she can move easily through the human settlements near her and her brother's flock. As is the case of many of her kind, Eathelin possesses no magical talents, but has gathered an amateur knowledge of healing and potion-making. When times are lean and Eathelin cannot bear to be separated from one of her charges, she will often make a number of homemade ointments to sell instead, and as such usually carries one kind or another on her person.

Appearance:

In her human form, Eathelin appears as a comely young woman. Her skin is faintly tanned from the sun, with a smattering of freckles across a button nose and all down her forearms; her hair is soft and white, falling in tight curls down her shoulders and often covered with a headscarf of dyed wool. In the place of human ears, hers are long and furred like those of a sheep, and a thick lock of shockingly black hair sweeps down in ringlets on the left side of her face. She is almost always in a dress of homespun wool, with a bodice laced in the front and a modest apron tied overtop. Knee-high boots of worn leather and a sheep hook complete her ensemble, each item, though simple, lovingly crafted by hand.

When she shifts, which is rare due to the complex amount of clothing she needs to kick free, Eathelin takes on the appearance of a small lamb that is pure white save for a black slash across its nose. In both human and animal form, Eathelin has bright blue eyes the shade of a cloudless sky. This is one of the few features she shares with her brother, Fairfax.

Personality:

Eathelin is compassionate but shy - her ability to bond with animals so easily comes from the fact that she finds their company infinitely more pleasant than that of humans. Despite this, and her subsequent reluctance to talk before others, she cannot ignore anyone in need of help. To her brother's frustration, this means that she will often treat people even if they lack the funds, and this unquestioning kindness is one of the reasons that the nearby settlements are happy to leave her, her brother, and their homely flock alone, even aiding them when the wolf season threatens their animals.

This does not, however, mean that Eathelin is without spine. Confronted with a creature past her ability to heal, she shows little reservation about ending their lives, albeit as painlessly as possible. Understanding of their relationship with farm animals such as chickens, cows, or hogs, she is not averse to preparing them herself; but the needless killing or mistreatment of beasts raises a quiet fury in her. Auctions where she is present and the animals are shown to clearly be in poor care sometimes go mysteriously wrong, with a number of the starving or beaten creatures escaping into the woods. 

History: Eathelin was all but raised by her brother, Fairfax. With only the hazy memory of a father and mother too sick to rise from the bed, she found herself in the role of the housebody at an early age, cooking meals, washing the laundry, and caring for their few animals where she could. Fairfax was, and is, her idol; the golden-haired child, strong, protective, and five years her senior, became the one who managed the tiny farm's money, working with traders and gathering the wood and supplies that would see them through winter after winter. When their parents died, it was Fairfax who dug their graves, while Eathelin planted trees. When they nearly starved once after a wolf pack had killed all but three of their sheep, it was Fairfax who pushed them all into the little cabin, barring the door and making sure Eathelin had the last of their soup for the next three days. And when they began to prosper, their flock numbering more than ten, more than twenty, more than fifty in total, with a coop of chickens and a horse to boot, it was Fairfax who seamlessly took control, picking the lambs for market, hiring farmhands for shearing, and carefully putting the money away where raiders would never find them. Eathelin was happy with her brother. She was safe.

And then he began to grow restless.

As Eathelin grew older and neared womanhood, she noticed her brother's increasing absences. Days would pass before he rode in on their faithful draft horse, Tirib. He would spend market nights in town, leaving more of the money he made there than what he brought home. Though Eathelin would frown at his behavior and chide him softly, he only smiled disarmingly and chucked her under the chin. "Think of what more we could do!" he would exclaim, and then regal her with the latest gossip about lands far from their own. She knew he wanted to see the sea, and the mountains, and the great lake to the north; he would spend hours speculating on the treasure of dragon's scales, or the struggles of the good Angels and their counterparts, the Demons. Eathelin listened, as always, and grew disturbed. The time was coming for Fairfax to leave, with or without her. There was nothing she could do to stop it.

Roleplay Sample:

"Hush," Eathelin said, rebuking the young ram before her. He stopped shaking his horns, though his hooves continued to paw the ground in agitation. Slowly, carefully, the young woman untangled the thorny branches that had wrapped around his head, her nimble fingers separating wool from plant with the dexterity of a surgeon. When she gave a satisfied sigh and withdrew her hands from the bush, the ram snorted loudly and whipped back, kicking his heels with such fervor that he might have vanquished a snake instead of gotten himself trapped in a thicket. "Foolish thing," she murmured, smiling. "Oh." Seeing a bead of red well up on her thumb, she sucked it clean, rising to her feet and shaking off the dust from her skirts.

It was a warm summer morning. Eathelin cupped a hand above her brow and stared over the gently sloping hills, her eyes passing methodically over the round white puffs that dotted them. Gathering her hook, she went about a well-worn path through the pastures, her headscarf folded neatly about her throat so that the sunshine could warm her ears. A cardinal fluttered suddenly to her shoulder. "Good morning," she said pleasantly, pinching some seeds from her pocket and offering them to the bird. It poked its beak around her palm inquisitively before flying off. Eathelin watched it go, admiring the shock of its red feathers - so much brighter than that drop of blood had been! - before she scattered the seeds about the grass.

Yes, it was a beautiful day, as beautiful as the one before and surely as gorgeous as the next, without a hint of fall to mar the lazy warmth of the earth. Soon it would be noon. Noon was Fairfax's favorite time of the day - he reveled in the heat. She wondered if he would be back at the farm, and if Tirib was with him. Today would be a fine day to visit the river, she thought, and as she walked, her mind descended into half a dozen hypothetical conversations whereby she would lure Fairfax toward the riverbanks and perhaps an afternoon of fishing. It was unsurprising, therefore, that she did not immediately catch the disturbance over the hill.

By the time the panicked ba-aas of the flock broke her daydreams, the shadow of an enormous beast was already descending upon them. "No!" Eathelin cried, her mind shocked into blankness. She ran toward the thing, but even as she bounded over the grass, it was once more straining aloft, bloodstained balls of cotton in its claws.

"Leave them alone!" she cried. Reaching down, she grabbed a rock from the earth and hurled it with all her might toward the beastly thing. To her surprise, it struck. The creature turned its head, and Eathelin was skewered in its yellow gaze. As its shadow sped across the hill, seeking to engulf her, the lamb maiden could think only dazedly of the redness of its feathers... as red as the cardinal had been...

Name: Valeria
Gender: Woman
Sexuality: Bisexual
Species: Singapura Cat Kelahati
Age: 18
Appearance:

Height
4’0”
Weight
85 Lbs.
Measurements
24.38G-19.81-33.52

Like the singapura cat that she takes after, Valeria is small and petite, although not without curves or feminine features. She has a defined and toned hourglass figure, with a particularly prominent rear, thick thighs, and a full chest.

Her skin tone is a light tan shade. She has short brown hair that she wears in a bob cut that covers her left eye and frames her face. In her human form, Valeria possesses a set of cat ears at the top of her head, which match the color of her hair. In addition, her human form has a long cat tail located at the small of her back, which is also the same color as her hair.

Valeria has an round profile. Her brown eyes are quite distinctly large and doe-like. She has a small nose and full, feminine lips that are normally painted dark magenta.

Her ears are the same color as her hair, and they have sensitive, pink insides lined with white hair. They are located on the top of her head. Her tail is proportionally long and thick. The hairs on her tail start light at the base before turning dark brown at the tip.

In her singapura cat form, Valeria has a dark brown overcoat and a light brown undercoat, which is located on her chest, muzzle, and chin. The irises of her eyes are brown and her form is small, yet muscular.

Personality:

Valeria is conscientious, quiet, and submissive. With little in the way of family or friends at the temple, Valeria became introspective and paranoid. To illustrate, Valeria easily attaches to individuals who show her positive attention. As such, she can become dangerously dependent on a single individual.

Abilities:

Senses
Valeria can see well in low light conditions and total darkness.
Fighting
Valeria is a highly skilled and well-trained, although untested martial artist. She is highly proficient with a large ring blade and a set of throwing knives.
Athletics
Valeria is a dazzling and impressive athlete. Even with the natural advantages to agility, balance, flexibility, and leaping afforded to her by her singapura cat heritage, her athleticism is nigh-preternatural. Firstly, Valeria is extremely agile and quick. Her lateral movements are graceful and nigh-instantaneous. She is also able to generate a great deal of elastic strength, making her an exceptional sprinter, jumper, and lifter.
Shapeshifting
Valeria can shift into the form of a singapura cat. In this form she has a dark brown overcoat and a light brown undercoat, which is located on her chest, muzzle, and chin.

History:

Valeria was born and destined for a life in the martial arts temple. She never knew her parents or close family, having simply been left at the her temple’s foundling wheel as a baby. As soon as she was old enough, Valeria began formal martial arts training at the temple. She trained for the entirety of her childhood, strengthening her body and developing her martial arts skills under the guidance of her teachers.

At the age of eighteen, Valeria left the temple and began a quest...

<b>Characters involved:</b> Faexis, played by Immortal Cyan. Yukiji Wanatabe, played by KokoPuffs
<b>Setting:</b> Seliel City, First District
<b>Time:</b> Current, Night
<b>Weather:</b> Clear
Theme: Beyoncé, Dixie Chicks - Daddy Lessons

Faexis had been on the road for two nights. She had made good time, having managed to hitch a ride with a passing carriage driver, whom had taken her to Seliel City free of charge since she did not take up much room on the carriage itself and the driver's own concern over seeing a petite Gnomish woman traveling alone. The carriage arrived at Seliel City in the late afternoon. After departing from the carriage and biding the driver farewell, Faexis explored the city for a few hours, searching for an affordable tavern to stay in for the night.

Seliel City was a massive and diverse city. It was far larger than what she was used to, although the extra open-air was somewhat refreshing to her. As she walked, Faexis saw an myriad collection of individuals from a large assortment of species. She saw humans, dwarves, elves, and even a few gnomes walking through the streets, hawking wares, and socializing among each other. The little woman learned that she was in the first district of the city after speaking to a few individuals herself.

When it turned dark, Faexis decided upon staying at a building that looked like a tavern from outside. The building had a rectangular profile and was three stories tall. It was adorned with spherical lanterns outside, which glowed bright pink and blue. When she stepped inside of the building, Faexis saw a milling and diverse crowd of men and women, engaged in drinking, socializing, and other intimate activities. Many were kissing and groping each other, a sight which failed to faze the little Gnome. As long as it was an affordable establishment, she could ignore many of the intimate activities that went on behind the scenes if she chose to.

As she was by far the smallest person that she saw, Faexis took extra care to watch out for kicking and moving legs in the close quarters of the room. It was not until she arrived at the front counter when she realized that she had walked into a brothel, rather than a tavern. She paused briefly when this thought came upon her, however, she  decided to linger for a few minutes, out of carnal curiosity, if anything.

Since she could not see over the counter on her two feet, Faexis climbed onto a nearby chair and stood on top of it. The woman behind the counter had white hair and pink eyeshadow over her eyes. Two white horns sprouted from the sides of her head, which sloped upward and laterally. Although she was unsure of the woman's species, Faexis greeted the woman with a soft smile before speaking.

"Excuse me miss, Is this a tavern or a brothel?", Faexis said, speaking in a soft and melodic voice.

Name: Faexis
Age: 18
Gender: Woman
Species: Eryn Gnome
Appearance:

Height
2'2"
Weight
24 Lbs.
Measurements
13.20C-11.56-20.63

Like all of her species, Faexis is diminutive and small. In spite of her diminutive height, Faexis’s physical profile is highly feminine, ample, and thick. The most distinctive features of her form include her plump and protruding rear, thick thighs, and an overly large bosom.

Faexis has dark brown skin with warm, golden undertones. She normally wears her cyan hair in a vertical and tall ponytail. Her hair frames a heart-shaped facial shape, with wide cheekbones, an angular jawline, and a pointy, but not overly prominent chin. Her green eyes are very wide set and doe-like, framing a delicate nose and distinctively plump lips.

Faexis has long, elf like ears. Her eyebrows are semicircular (11) shaped and are of a darker cyan shade than her hair.

Personality:

Faexis has a fiercely loyal and vacuous personality. Although disciplined, she rarely thinks things through and often takes orders literally. Faexis is motivated by her desire to please her superiors through any means necessary. She has little in the way of goals (as of yet), although she craves praise material and rewards. As a hard-working young woman, she has a habit of overworking herself to the point of exhaustion, to the detriment of her health. She is also somewhat doting and touchy-feely, often to a disturbing and highly sexual extent.

Faexis is patient and cool-tempered, although prone to anger when she feels deprived of material rewards or acclaim.

Abilities: 

Athletics
Faexis is a natural and well-trained athlete. She is incredibly fleet of foot, agile, and graceful. However, she is also a strong and high leaper, with the ability to leap to heights over six times her size.
Magic
Faexis is proficient in telekinesis. However, she can not manipulate the movements of external objects that weigh more than she could carry herself.

History: 

Faexis has no memory of her past. She was brainwashed in a freak accident by an untrained mage, and as a result ran from her family and friends, quickly finding herself homeless and lonely. Although Faexis retained her practical knowledge and language skills, she has no memory of her past life, family, or friends, to the point where she does not realize that she was brainwashed.

Roleplay Sample:

Faexis woke up with a violent shudder, her body convulsing and shaking with nervous energy. She took a few cursory glances around at her surroundings, which were pitch black and cloaked under darkness. As she sat up on her bed, the Gnomish woman pondered how she had arrived at the bed in the first place. It was then that the few memories that she had came rushing back into thought.

Only a few hours before, she had been surrounded by individuals who had called her family. She had been referred to as "Faexis" and was fed dinner after the episode. Her "family" had been talking to her quite frantically the entire time, repeating their names and her own name. She had learned the names of most of them, but many had escaped her. However, the ugliness began when she realized that she was already supposed to know the names of everyone there.

There had been a massive verbal altercation, targeted at one particular member of the "family". In the meantime, Faexis had been sent to bed. A woman called "Venroe" had sung to her before she fell asleep, saying that the song had been her favorite when Faexis was a little girl. In truth, Faexis did find the song to be comforting and lulling. However, it did little to alleviate her discomfort at being surrounded by faces who claimed to be her family, of whom she had no recollection of.

Thinking these events over and more, Faexis stepped out of bed and walked slowly out of the bedroom. Clad in little more than a shift dress, she entered the room where the argument had taken place. It was empty now, with everyone having gone to bed, evidently tired from the events that occurred. She explored the house for a few minutes, entering the kitchen, commons areas, and closets. After exploring, she returned to the room where she had woken up before.

After fumbling in the dark for a few moments, Faexis lit the candle on her bedside, granting her a small measure of visibility. It was just enough for her to enter her own closet and to see a collection of clean clothes, a backpack, a few towels, and some cash. These were the possessions that Venroe had said belonged to Faexis, and no one else.

If they were hers, could she take them?

It was not a difficult question to resolve. Setting the candle down, Faexis took the backpack out of the closet, opened it, and began to stuff it with clothes, random possessions, and cash. She changed out of her shift dress and into a hooded black tunic with leggings underneath. After strapping on a pair of black boots, Faexis sealed and tied the backpack before securing it to her back. Faexis did not close the door behind her as she left her room, not wanting to disturb anyone's slumber. When she entered the kitchen, another question came to mind.

Was the food in the kitchen hers?

The "family" had fed her, free of charge the night before. She could not recall if they had done so before that. However, she had been allowed to eat as much as she had wanted during dinner, including second portions, dessert, and drink. The Gnome rationalized that she could take some food for herself as well. However, she took care not to take too much from the cabinets. She took just enough for a few nights on the road, and little more than that.

Once she left the kitchen, Faexis walked quietly around the large, maze-like house, searching for an exit of some kind. After searching for a few minutes, she found an exit. However, it took her a few more minutes to undo the complex locking mechanism on the door.

As she opened the door, her eyes were beset with an gray, early dawn sky. The sun was not out yet. However, there was a faint hint of orange in the distance, indicating that it's rise was imminent. Faexis stepped outside, closing the door behind her and staring out at the streets of the maze-like city. The streets were nearly deserted, with very few people active at this hour of the morning.

She did not know what awaited her outside of the house or the city itself. However, the reverse was true as well. Who were those people who had called her "Faexis", "daughter", "family", or "sister"? If anything, they were foreign faces, with the only similarity being in species and ethnicity. She had no compunctions about leaving. If anything, the house had felt more like a prison to her, in the few hours she could remember staying there. It was an easy decision, and one she was certain that she would not regret.

With fast and uncertain steps, Faexis walked away from the house and into the streets. She did not turn back.

bic:

The sky was clear that morning, but now the clouds were slowly rolling in. They were long, dark and seemed to hint at a coming storm. It was too soon to call it a day for a light rain. The storm didn't seem to bad, just a bit dark, it wasn't threats of a danger as bad as a tornado, but rain. Just a lot of rain. Thunder rolled in the distance coming in intervals of minutes. It was still far out.

The river could be heard in the distance as with grazing animals. They were getting water before they would go and hide for fear of the storm. They soon would want to be away from the storm. No matter how large or small none of them seemed to want to be out if it was raining. However, the wolf didn't mind. The rain meant nothing to him. It could storm, hail, winds howl, and he would be fine. He didn't mind dragging a deer out into the open and eating it under the fury of nature. He waited there though. He wasn't going to go towards all the prey drinking water until his child came. He was going to watch her hunt. His own teeth ached with bloodlust, but she was becoming an adult soon. He wanted to make sure she was ready for that leap at least.

His silver eyes blinked and he shook out his pelt. What else could he do? He knew he wasn't an ideal father. He didn't really fit the part at all, but he would try this small thing for her. He wanted to make sure she could survive and past that... He didn't know. He was sure she learned to hunt. He had made sure people would help her. He was their leader... He didn't have time for soft loving time. He had to be hard. He had to be the leader they needed cruelty and all. Amon was away. This would be a private moment for them. He would give her that. A small time with him that was undisturbed. 

It was time to discuss the future.
