Name || Marilyn Balcombe
Nicknames || Mary
Age || 24
Birthdate || May 9th
Zodiac Sign || Taurus
Gender || Female
Species || Gaian

Hair Colour || Naturally a mousy brown; currently dyed red.
Hair Style || Cut short, to just above her shoulders. It tapers down the nape of her neck into a point.
Eye Colour || Grey
Complexion || Light Tan
Build || Average
Physical Traits || She has a light smattering of freckles across her cheeks and nose.

Parents || Adam and Cassandra Balcombe
Relationship Status || Dating
Significant Other || Jonathon Nefit
Children || Faline, Erich, and Theodore [adopted]

Occupation || Owner of Balcombe Curiosities

Likes || Her kids, kids in general, running the shop, finding oddities, reading, bookkeeping, sometimes baking, but only when things don't catch on fire, action movies, silly romantic movies.
Dislikes || Erich's tantrums, things when they're on fire (does not extend to magical non-burning fire), super loud music with lots of screaming, her mother's butting into things she should not.

Special Abilities || None

Personality || Marilyn tends to come off as "mysterious" or any number of other silly adjectives along that line. This is mostly an act, something she enjoys doing when she runs her shop (the part of the mysterious, beautiful shop owner always appealed to her).

Generally, though, she is a fun loving and caring person with maternal instincts out the wazoo. At times she can act girly, enjoying to dress up and look pretty whenever she goes out, even if it is to just run down the street to the store to pick up some eggs. She isn't afraid to get her hands dirty, though, and often delves into the dustiest of attics and basements in order to claim more curiosities for her shop, no matter how dangerous the item is.

Background || Marilyn was born in Barton Town, the only child to mechanic and a snooty debutante. She grew up there, went to college there, and then moved out as fast her legs would carry her.

When her grandparents passed away, she inherited their shop, Balcombe Curiosities which turned out to be a bad idea in general what with not being warned that some of the objects in there will turn into sentient beings when they feel like it.

She currently resides in Durem with her three children.

Name || Faline Balcombe
Nicknames || Rabbit
Stage || Teenager
Birthdate || February 20th
Zodiac Sign || Pisces
Gender || Female
Species || Curio

Hair Colour || Bubblegum Pink
Hair Style || Very curly and worn to just past her shoulders.
Eye Colour || Periwinkle
Complexion || Off-White
Build || Average
Physical Traits || Faline has rabbit like ears, a band of pink around her neck as well as two circles of the same colour beneath her eyes; fur lines her elbows and ankles, and her fingers are tipped with the same pink as around her neck.

Parents || Marilyn Balcombe
Relationship Status || Single
Significant Other || N/A
Children || N/A

Occupation || High school student, though she sometimes helps around her mother's shop, Balcombe Curiosities.

Likes || Cute things, stuffed animals, card games, DnD, some sewing, even if she's not that great at it, hanging out with her best friend, giggling over boys, running.
Dislikes || Rolling a bad number, not getting that card she wanted in a pack after spending her hard earned dollars on it, when things do not occur the way that they should, anyone fussing for hours, loud noises (hurts her ears).

Special Abilities || Faline has heightened hearing and is able to pick up on things most regular people wouldn't be able to hear. She's also an incredible runner.

Personality || Faline is your typical teenage girl, but with a geek twist. She loves such girly things as fashion and shopping, and one day hopes to fulfill her dream of being a famous clothing designer, but she also enjoys hanging out with her nerd friends at lunch and discussing how best to bring down that orc in their next campaign.

Faline can also be rather a**l retentive about things and is very responsible for her age. If her school work isn't done, she doesn't like to do anything else until it is. Chores? Not a problem in the slightest. Things also can't be out of order or else she has to line them up again.

Background || Faline started out as a ceramic rabbit figure that her mother had acquired from a little old lady to sell in her shop of curiosities. She's technically the first of her kind that Marilyn knows of, part of a species that she's dubbed "Curio"s.

She lives with her mother and two brothers in Durem where she attends high school. She is currently in her senior year and is looking forward to getting out of there and starting on with college.

Name || Erich Balcombe
Nicknames || Pointy Stabby Thing
Stage || Toddler
Birthdate || March 1st
Zodiac Sign || Pisces
Gender || Male
Species || Curio

Hair Colour || Blonde
Hair Style || Longish and kept tied back in a ponytail.
Eye Colour || Grey
Complexion || Light
Build || Kind of pudgy, what with the baby fat still there.
Physical Traits || The boy has arm blades, two on each side of his forearms. They're very sharp and also awkward.

Parents || Marilyn Balcombe
Relationship Status || N/A
Significant Other || N/A
Children || N/A

Occupation || N/A

Likes || Stabbing things, poking things, shredding things, being obstinate, throwing tantrums, getting his way, making life miserable for his mother and older sister.
Dislikes || Not getting attention, not getting his way, carrots, and pretty much everything else under the sun.

Special Abilities || N/A

Personality || Erich is a brat, plain and simple. When he doesn't get his way, he throws the tantrum to rival all tantrums. No attention? Tantrum. Making him eat anything? Tantrum. Nap? Oh, tantrum. Anything? Surprise... tantrum!

He's also rather violent and enjoys ripping things apart with his arm blades. It seems to be one of his favorite past times. Everyone in the family is hoping that he grows out of this when he gets older and that this is only a phase.

Background || Erich currently doesn't have much history, having only started his life from an antique hunting knife not too long ago.

Bea
An Aer Nyun that Marilyn got for Faline recently. Bea is a sweet little thing that enjoys being pampered.

Adam Balcombe -- "Grandpa" // Gaian
Marilyn's father is a rather eclectic older man with a penchant for collecting socks and pebbles. Why socks and pebbles? God only knows. Though he's lacking in the sanity department, he's a sweet man and is ecstatic to hear he has grandchildren, even if they are a bit on the fuzzy and pokey side.

Cassandra Balcombe -- "Grandma" // Gaian
In contrast to her husband, Marilyn's mother is austere and enjoys scolding her daughter every chance she gets. Marilyn swears that her mother's face is puckered the way it is from all the looks she received as a small child.

Theodore Balcombe -- "Little Brother" // Projekt [Normal]
An orb that Marilyn acquired that will one day grow into a child. How very odd.

Jonathon "Johnny" Nefit -- "The Boyfriend" // Gaian
Johnny is quite the Casanova and many of the girl's in Mary's hometown have a pool going on how long they'll stay together and when they can finally swoop in. Twenty-four and quite the stud, he's rather restless in their relationship, especially now that Marilyn has children.

Faline's Friends //

Justin William Carson -- "The Ex" // Gaian
This teenager isn't much of anything special, but to Faline, he exudes this kind of cool that she can't even begin to describe. He is actually an avid fan of DnD and MMORPGs.

Marilyn's house is rather strange. It's located in the stockroom of the Curio Shop, just through what would usually be the janitorial closet (the cleaners are store elsewhere now).

The house itself is in a pocket dimension connected with that closet. The buzzer from the shop and the telephone lines cross over as well so she can still reach Gaia proper.

The only people to post here other than myself should be anyone dropping off a gift (ICly), otherwise all non-solo RPs are to be conducted within the appropriate guild sub-forum.
