Post Your Character Profiles Here[1__] One post in this thread per Gaia user. [2__] Considering the RP-intensive nature of the Essentics and their Owner, it is strongly encouraged to stick to one active/main character per person. [3__] Keep your character workable within the world of Drente. No implausible beings. The Essentics themselves are usually met with passive aggression and distrust, and they are the only species to cause such an uproar, too. Considering, half breeds and vampires and the like (however rare) aren't discriminated all that bad. [X__] Might wanna attempt to sort of let us know what kind of an owner your character would be, we're curious peoplezzzzz >:3 Hoshi- it's a lion get in the ca-

Name: Ellandra Sanders (Pronounced El-lahn-dra)
Gender: Female
Age: 23
Physical description: Ellandra has ash brown hair and gray eyes; she’s rather tiny and is overall rather overlookable, mostly due to her own attempts at appearing so and her lack of confidence. She dresses conservatively, though she's considering a change of wardrobe. Her skin tone is very pale, mostly from spending a lot of time inside, writing, and she has a dusting of freckles across her nose.
History/Backstory: Ellandra is a socially-awkward young adult, who's working very hard to change that and other aspects of herself after meeting the love of her life in Faolan Grady. Her past as a reclusive writer seems to be behind her, though she still struggles with continuing timidity and multiple phobias. She has no memory of her early life due to what she believes was a serious illness in childhood. However, she knows that most of her phobias began during this time she cannot recall. As for her future. . . well, it's rather in flux at the moment, but she's rapidly found that she prefers it to a set in stone life of boredom and fear.
Other important notes, quirks? Ellandra has several nervous habits, ranging from a nervous stutter - that's much less present when she's angry or with Faolan - to twirling her hairaround her fingers and fidgeting with a crystal necklace Faolan gave her when they first met. Her strangest quirk is probably how comfortable she feels with Essentics; she has much less fear of them than of humans for no particular reason.

Name: Lee Katan Gender: Female Age: 17 Physical description: Lee's light brown hair is cut short and choppy and her dark blue eyes are often surrounded with an over-abundance of mascara. She's not thin and dainty like she'd like to be, being slightly more on the curvy side. When not wearing her uniform, she's either in piercingly bright colored clothes to make her stand out or just in sweats and a baggy t-shirt. Tekteked version.Personality: She either tries too hard or not hard enough. Unfortunately for her, she doesn't have the personality to back either of those. She doesn't have it in her to be outgoing and spontaneous, but neither can she sit back and "just not care." While she would love to be the one to tell someone off when they've upset her, she always just stands idly and takes it, getting angrier at herself than anyone. While she does have that stereotypical, rich-girl, "do you know who I am?!" attitude, it rarely surfaces, and when it does she's mortified. History/Backstory: Lee comes from great wealth, and therefore gets the best education money can buy. Her whole life has revolved around her schooling, her parents only checking in with her to see what her grades are like. However, her grades have never been above average, and recently they have been dropping no matter how intently she studies. Socially? She's always been generally well-liked, but she couldn't name more than three people she'd call a "friend" and not feel uncomfortable while saying it. That's her story so far: self-conscience and lonely. Other important notes, quirks? She is very passionate about art, painting in particular, but has always been awful at it.

Name: Elst Gender: Male-ish Age: Not entirely sure, but he models his body to make sure it looks around 24. Physical description: First and foremost, he's a plant. He shaped himself to look like a human male, but certain features, such as his skin, still show plant-like qualities, such as being, say, green. He seems fairly closely related to the climbing rose plant as well, because he'll occasionally sprout roses when he's not fully focusing on appearing human. He's tall [around 6'8"], lean, with pale, almost greenish skin, and wheat-blonde hair. He wears largely green clothing, with moss green slacks and shirt, and a darker green overcoat. This overcoat is full of both inside and outside pockets, most filled with gardening tools, seeds, or other such things. His eyes, to put it simply, are very, very green, not 'emerald' or anything like that, and are framed by a pair of green-tinted sunglasses. While working in his gardens at his Nursery, he wears thick work boots, which quickly become filthy, but at all other times he wears a pair of woven leather sandals. Here is a reference picture I drew of him, but keep in mind that he does not usually carry around a sword, the one pictured there is simply there so I could draw him holding something. And those vines on his face? He finds the human face to be difficult to imitate, and has to reconstruct his occasionally. The vines are there simply to act sort of like bandages until the reconstruction is finished. Last but not least, Here is a TekTek I made of him. It's a bit rough. Personality: Elst is generally very cheerful, and welcoming to new people. However, due to his non-human origins, he doesn’t grasp social behavior too well and thus is a tad clueless when it comes to society. He is otherwise good around other people, and has no hesitation in attempting to befriend others. This does however occasionally create awkwardness. History/Back-story: Basically, he lives, and has lived, in his element. He's a plant after all, and feels most comfortable living in a forest. However, seeing as forests are rather rare nowadays, he's managed to save up to buy a failing nursery on the outskirts of Vargash, where land is fairly cheap, and has since brought it back to life due to his knowledge of how to get plants to flourish. His home is in the middle of the Nursery’s land. Other: In his free time, he will either go shopping for new seeds to plant and grow in his nursery, or will try and help plant trees for the scarce forests of Drente. He knows very little magic, but what he does know he does well in, as it specializes in the nourishment and development of plants. He seeks an Essentic that can help him with this. On a somewhat unrelated note, he enjoys having houseguests and feeding people. He also carries at least a single flask of his own blend of extremely bitter tea at all times, as he finds it relaxing to drink. As an owner, he'd take every precaution to ensure his Essentic was living a happy life, and would teach it to follow in his footsteps of caring for nature.

Refrence image. HereName: Alan Dark Gender: Male Age: 20 Physical description: Alan has snow white hair and green eyes, He is thin although muscular he smiles constantly and in the in the winter his hair turns the darkest shade of black. History/Back-story: Alan is a headstrong life loving young man, who is somewhat laidback, His first real memory is of waking up in the middle a small boat in a large sea after many hard nearly foodless days he was rescued by a kind old man which it turned out was filthy rich and was on one of his many tropical vacations when he found Alan. After the trip Alan was introduced to civilization and with it the life of the rich. He was somewhat sheltered through his childhood yet as a teen he often adventured around Vargash and got in to fights, although he is a kind and peaceful person he can easily harm people. Many years later when the kind old man died all of his belongings including his fortune were left to Alan. Other important notes, quirks: Alan loathes chocolate, feels he can't stay out of the water for more than a day for some odd reason, loves water but hates drinking it.

Name Elias Gerard Carmine
Gender Male
Age 29 1/2
Weight 175lbs
Height 6'0"
Hair
• Absinthe Green
• Medium Length, Shaggy
Eyes
• Pale Blue
Physical description Elias stands at an average height of 6'0" with his weight bordering on 175. While he isn't necessarily fat, his under worked form is rather soft and lacking definition. True to a hermit's nature, Elias has alabaster skin which is somewhat sensitive to the mid-day sun. A pair of pale-blue eyes contrast muddy green hair, which shags haphazardly beside either ear. Uncharacteristic of his usually placid mood, he entertains a near constant frown and deep set brow creases...

Name: Kiel Bacchus
Gender: Female
Age: 25
Physical description: A slender lady, she’s often described as svelte despite the fact that she’s far from athletic. Not quite short nor tall, she stands medium height at 5’4”. Her silver irises provide a wonderful accompaniment to her white hair, both of which are caused by a genetic glitch. Her hair comes slightly past her shoulders but given that it’s in a bun all the time not many people tend to notice the length of her hair. Kiel dresses semi-formally with black pencil skirts, white button up blouses and black stilettos of various heights. She doesn’t focus on fashion, rather on first impressions. She dresses to give off an air of order and respect, one she exudes very well.
History/Back story: A woman running away from her past, Kiel is a figure of much intrigue. When questioned of her origins she replies each time with the same remark. “I come from the womb of my mother.”
However there is no mistaking the striking resemblance she bares to Lady Alicel Dubont, the heir of Wischer Falls that went missing seven years ago.
Aside from that there is no other known information about Kiel other than what she knows about herself.
Other important notes, quirks?Kiel’s last name, Bacchus is in reference to the roman god associated with irrational abandon. However the meaning extends further than that, rather intending to allude to the Bacchantes; ladies that turned violent when challenged by male authority.

Name: Sage East
Gender: Female
Age: 23
Physical description: Sage's body is pretty slim and slender, with a waist that is thinner than the average woman's. Taller than most women at her age, she is used to having to look down to see people's faces, although with men being generally taller she is often at about eye-level with them. Her hair is a silky blonde that reaches down to her waist. She has some layers in it, with the shortest around her jaw. She often ties her hair up half up, so she has two ponytails (one on each side of her head) but still has some hair loose, or has it all down. Her eyes a blend of grey and green, although closer to green, causing her to look better dressed in natural shades such as brown, tan and green. Her face is rather angular, but she has laugh lines that are starting to form from her constant smiling. She often wears dresses or skirts, as she was raised to be a 'proper dressed lady'.
History/Backstory: Her history is pretty plain, with no major life-changing events in it. She was born to quite a rich family and was an only child. She didn't see her parents much, as a maid often looked after her. She never went to school, as she had private tutors for every subject. Thus, she grew up fairly isolated from the world. Her maids were often changing so she never got to knew them well, and her parents rarely ever came into contact with her. Because she was constantly alone, she picked up two hobbies. One was writing. She could almost always be seen sitting alone with a notebook and writing some fantasy or other. The other hobby was daydreaming, which went along with her writing fairly well. She was confined within the fenced off area of her house and often imagined what lay outside. She dreamed of wild animals, of cities and cars. It was all so... fascinating to her. And so she often wrote down her daydreams too. When she reached the age of 19, she had a idea to publish some of her daydreams, and so she did. Whilst not best sellers, they did make her a reasonable income and she moved out. Now she owns a small house on the outskirts of Vargash.
Personality: Sage is very curious and loves to discover new things. She has yet to meet anything that frightens her, and takes care to write everything down in her precious notebook. Whilst curious, she is also very quiet. She blends in with the crowd, only making it easier to see new things that to an outsider would be difficult to get too. She is bright and intelligent, but does not long for more knowledge. Instead, she simply wishes to see as much of the world as she can. And that means all of it-be it the ocean, the loveliest sight or the darkest of graveyards. She wants to experience the forbidden and the sacred.
Other important notes, quirks? She always carries her notebook with her in a small brown bag that she wears over her left shoulder. She's never had a single romantic encounter either, which upsets her slightly as she has seen quite a few weddings now.

Name: Faolan Grady
Gender: Male
Age: mid- to late-twenties (old enough to know the game, young enough to still play it)
Profession Con-artist specifying in "fortune telling" for a traveling carnival
Physical description: Slender and tall with a slightly under-fed look to him, despite his lean build. Also rather pale with deep auburn hair and eyes that are such a pale green, they appear golden. Not particularly handsome, but not ugly either. Two small puck-like horns protrude from his forehead, belying some sort of interesting story in the family history. His style of dress is usually casual with comfortable t-shirts and jeans or loose-fitted yoga-style pants and either sneakers or barefoot. When working, however, he dresses in flashy brightly colored vests, pants and scarves with lots of (fake) jewelery.
History/Backstory: Faolan was abandoned as an infant on the doorstep of a church by a very surprised mother upon noticing her new son had horns. Unfortunately for the baby, his luck would get worse before better, as the church hadn't be in operation in sometime and lacked a staff to notice the infant's wailing, nor to bring him in from the rain.
As fate is not especially cruel to innocents, a carnival was passing through the area and more than one of the travelers heard the cries of the baby and went to fetch him. The carnival's owner took one look at the pathetic, rain-soaked infant and promptly took him in as his own, giving him to the care of the women of the carnival to nurse the child back to health.
Faolan's life was rather mundane for living in a traveling carnival. He grew up with the other children in the troupe, playing and learning along side them. He hadn't even truly been aware he was different, possessing a pair of horns, till his adopted father told him, thinking he would do well taking the place of the fortune teller that had decided to retire. Getting a quick course in the finer points of working the fortune telling con, Faolan was given a costume and set to work, amazed at how many believed him because his horns made him seem mysterious.
Several years later, he still works as the fortune teller and has become rather good at conning people into believing he knows their future or can commune with their passed loved ones. Any curiosity he's had about his true heritage or the mother that abandoned him has been fleeting, being happy among the carnival, though there are times when customers comment on his horns and remind him that the family he lives with are surrogates that took him in after his birth family threw him away.
Other important notes, quirks? Usually Faolan is an upbeat sort, ready to give a hand in setting up the tents or do other chores around the carnival. He's lively and energetic for the most part, but tires easily due to having been ill as an infant.
Reference image: Sure.

Name: Verdant Lindstrom Race: Amaranth Nereid Gender: Male Age: 22 years old Occupation: Singer/Poet Physical Appearance/Description: In appearance, Verdant seems to be your run-of-the-mill Goth. Almost 6’2”, a slender (but toned) build, and pale skin, he’s really not that bad to look at. His hair is ivory black and reaches down to his lower back. It is always covering his right eye; he has a small, but noticeable scar on his eye that he received after a scuffle with a rose nymph. His eyes are a rich harlequin green, a sharp contrast to his ghostly pallor and inky hair. In bright sunlight, his eyes become a tea green color. Verdant can usually be found wearing black Victorian clothing or anything he finds to be tastefully extravagant; his signature accessory is his black top hat adorned by an amaranth bloom. He has a total of thirteen piercings; seven on his left ear and six on the right. When excited or very happy (that happens quite often), two amaranth flowers emerge on each side of his head and release a soft scent similar to lavender. Personality: Verdant is an optimist to the point of being annoying; he’s rarely sad and always seems to find the silver lining in the darkest of clouds. Due to his contrasting sarcastic wit, he has come to be known as “the kid with the wry commentary and the patented eye roll” amongst his fans. He has a sharp tongue, but does not revel in having to use it. He is very loyal to his friends and will not hesitate to defend them should the need arise. History: Verdant’s life began when an amaranth (as in the never-fading amaranth) sprang up seemingly out of nowhere in a public park in Vargash. It lay hidden by a pile of rocks, but was able to receive enough sunlight and water to flourish. It was only after 18 years of growing that the plant frenetically sprouted vines and released a massive bud that put titan arums to shame. With an ear-splitting snap, the bud bloomed and there lay Verdant, curled up inside of the flower and covered in nectar and pollen. He was arrested on the spot for indecent exposure, but released when the authorities realized exactly what he was and why he was sleeping naked inside a giant flower. With nothing but the ratty clothes on his back, Verdant was thrust into a strange new world that he had absolutely no knowledge of. By chance, he was found by a good Samaritan who placed him in the care of a shelter for troubled youths. The matron named him Verdant after the color of his eyes, but he chose his own last name after listening to a famous singer on the radio. After four years of living in the shelter, he became a well-established citizen and was able to not only get a job, but get his own apartment.He has lived alone ever since then. Extra Info: Verdant is a singer and poet, often performing at small Gothic venues. Verdant seeks an Essentic to be his back-up vocalist and pianist. As an owner, he would ensure that the Essentic not only lived a happy and healthy life, but also felt accepted for being different, mainly because Verdant can sympathize. He would protect the Essentic with his life and would do everything in his power to make sure it is never upset or sad. Quirks: He has a phobia of caterpillars which can lead to some very embarrassing bouts of screaming and crying. He doesn't hate butterflies though; he has no idea why. Likes: Singing, screaming, listening to music, chasing butterflies, planting flowers. Dislikes: Caterpillars, bullies, seeing homeless children being mistreated. Reference Picture: Here.

Name: Shade Flereous Gender: Male Age: 16 Physical description: Shade He has dark, almost black fur covering his entire body and a mop of short, messy black hair on top of his head. His eyes are gold, and his ears are very large. His hands have three fingers on each and are tipped with small claws. His canines are sharp, like small fangs and he has a long, almost demonic-looking tail. For the most part, Shade has a horrible sense of fashion and he's often wears hoodies, jeans, and sneakers. If it's hot out, he'll just wear a t-shirt in place of his usual sweaters. Needless to say, his mother wishes that he'd wear something different for a change. He’s very lean and doesn’t have much muscle on his body. He’s not very tall, standing at a mere 4’4”. History/Backstory: Shade lives with his mother in a small apartment and is currently attending high school (he’s in grade 10). Since his mother is often busy with work, Shade’s usually the one who goes to get groceries and such whenever it’s needed. He doesn’t talk much about his father and usually tries to avoid the subject as much as possible. He’s rather quiet, though he does enjoy being around close friends. He very much dislikes school and will usually do anything he can to either procrastinate or avoid doing his schoolwork entirely. As such, his grades aren’t the greatest. Other important notes, quirks? He has a rather bad addiction to both video games and chocolate. He has a fear of water. As an essentic owner, Shade would probably try to see it as more of a friend than anything else. Since he doesn't hang out with his friends much outside of school, he would most likely spend most of the time with his essentic.

Name: Sebastian Letts. [ More commonly know as 'Seb' to friends and family. ]
Gender: Male.
Age: Twenty.
Physical description: A shock of golden hair, carefully styled into a messy yet devilishly attractive hairstyle, sits atop Seb's head; almost boastful in the way that it mirrors the man's charming good looks. In fact, Seb's hair is one of his features that he pays the most attention and care to, constantly glancing at it in reflective surfaces and ruffling it/styling it/correcting stray strands. One could even say that he's obsessive about it, considering how often much fuss he makes over it. [ Though if you were to confront Seb about his 'obsession' he'd probably retort with something about how it's vitally important to keep it looking good because it's the first thing a girl notices. ] To match his fair hair Sebastian has grey/blue eyes, often shining with flirty intentions when speaking with female friends or charming a lovely lady across a crowded bar. His other facial features are equally attractive; finely shaped lips [ well experienced in the kissing department ] and a handsomely crooked nose - not perfect but slightly tarnished from one too many bar fights, yet attractive none the less in a rugged way.
Moving downwards to inspect the rest of Sebastian's body you would find it to be very well looked after. All over he shows the signs of someone keen to stay attractive and keep their body in good shape; his torso is lightly muscled, stomach showing the faint traces of abs and his chest bares lightly shaped pectorals. His skin is tanned, not through fake means like spray tan, sunbeds or even natural tanning from working outside in the sun a lot... He's just luckily gifted with an attractively sun kissed skin tone.
Obviously to match all this natural handsomeness it's almost expected that Seb garbs himself in a manner that solidifies the deal and ensures that he's in tip top condition for attracting the opposite sex.... He certainly lives up to expectations! Wearing nothing but the best and most fashionable items of clothing, this young bachelor certainly boasts an impressive wardrobe. For the most part he'll be seen out and around in 'casual' clothes like t-shirts and jeans, although there'd next to no doubt that they'll boast designer labels somewhere.
History/Backstory: Apart from the fact that Seb is from a surprisingly wealthy family, [ who made their riches during the period in time that the Essentics were widely used; mining for precious materials using service sparks and then using the materials mined to create expensive jewellery ] there is little to discuss regarding his background. He's a rich kid who gets pretty much everything he requires from his parents: A good education and all of his material needs more than fulfilled. As he's matured from spoilt teenager he's become the party-boy young adult, always at the heart of the party and living life for the moment. Seb's more than happy to waste the night away drinking so much that he doesn't recall it the morning after, so long as there's a girl at his side and the quiet retreat of his bachelor pad when the hangover strikes.
Other important notes, quirks?
-- Excels at most physical sports. However, he's not a strong swimmer and if he gets out of his depth he'll most likely panic - swimming where there are currents to sweep him away isn't a clever idea.
-- Doesn't like having a 'girl friend'. Seb would much rather have several girls who are friends that he can bounce between.
-- If he were to get a spark it'd preferably be a social spark with the purpose of being something akin to a 'pulling partner'. Clubbing together and working as a team to be the centre of the party and getting the girls.
