Name: Lianna Beauchamps

Nickname: She dislikes the practice. Her name is perfectly fine, thank you very much!

Age: 19

Birthday: June 23

Sign: Cancer

Gemstone: Amber

Blood Type: O -

Fav. Food: she enjoys food with flavor, preferably subtle. Nothing too sweet or too spicy. Her one indulgence, in the fall, is pear cider.

Hated Food: Seafood of all varieties. It's a smell and texture thing.

School: Sovereign Heights Prep, studying to get into DCU pre-law

Hobbies:
Clubbing// As a young girl, her grandparents enrolled her in various dance lessons, as an acceptable hobby for a young lady of wealth and good breeding. This stopped when they died, but she turned to going out clubbing with friends to deal with the pressures of going to Crystal Academy. With her rather generous trust fund, she is considering the merits of opening a club of her own. Pending approval from her financial advisor and locating just the right property and venue. She even has a name and sort of theme picked out...

Horseback Riding// A way to escape from the pressures and expectations attached to her name and fortune. Riding allows her to connect with someone who does not expect anything from her. It is her one way to taste freedom, and a relationship that is not simply one sided or one of convenience. She indulges in this pastime as often as the business of managing the bits of her family estate she has direct control over and school allow.

Writing Dark Poetry// Her one form of rebellion from childhood that continued on after her grandparents death and the family chaos that ensued. It is her way to express herself, without having to have an audience. When this habit was inadvertently revealed to her therapist, she was encouraged to continue. It is part of the reason she is as well adjusted as she is. She will never show her poems to anyone. Ever. You find out about them, you die.


Virtues:

Considerate- She has a near eidactic memory. She remembers names, dates, holidays, any and all important events. Large amounts of information and in the appropriate contexts. She will always remember her friends birthdays or special event in their lives and be ready with a small gift, even if everyone else might have forgotten. She is considerate and caring to those she calls 'friend'. Having a bad day? She knows just what will cheer you up, and chances are she'll be right there waiting to give you a pick-me-up. She also is there with little things, just because. And while her 'friends' are few and far between, she cherishes them greatly.


Loyalty- There are four things in life that deserve one's absolute devotion to. Or at least, that is what she was taught.

The first thing is self- one must always look out for one's self. No one else will. And no one can do a better job than you. So she will do whatever is best for her above anything else. Just as long as it doesn't conflict too terribly much with the other three.

The second is family. Family means everything. You owe them everything. And everything you do reflects back upon them. So you must do your best to always be a credit to them.

Third is Cause. Find something to believe in. A goal to work towards. And strive to always do your best for the cause.

Last is friends. Friends come and go. They can also betray you. Do not be the one to make that first betrayal, but do be the one to end it. As long as one doesn't betray her, they will not find a more thoughtful or selfless friend. She will do anything for those she cares about. And given her name and fortune, her anything can be quite... extravagant.


Perfectionism- Anything worth doing is worth doing well and on the first attempt. She doesn't appreciate having to expend the energy to do something over when just once should be enough. This attitude covers everything from schoolwork to any hobbies, to taking care of her finances... well as much as she is allowed to anyways, to her relationships. This trait might cause her to seem driven and more than a little intense. Which can make her a little difficult to get along with.



Flaws:

Pride- She is Lianna Beauchamps, the granddaughter of Elise and Robert Beauchamps. There is nothing she can't do. Don't dare insinuate otherwise. And don't offer to help, if you value your skin, your balls, or your life. She is independent, self-sufficient and has difficulty accepting help from anyone, the result of being orphaned so young. This also makes her seem stand-offish and a little unapproachable on a personal level.

Aimless- Although she knows what is expected of her by others, due to who her parents and grandparents are, and she wants to live up to the expectation, but she also does not wish to fit into a mold that she is being forced to. She is expected to become a lawyer, so she is going through the motions, even if it is not what she wants. She doesn't know what it is she wants to be, or do. So she seems to be disinterested or flighty. This extends somewhat into her regular life- if you ask her her favorite color or hobby, she will tell you with no uncertainty her color is blue, or her favorite hobby is horseback riding. Ask her what she wants for dinner - anything not seafood- or where she wants to go clubbing - anywhere with a good dj - all you'll get are vague answers, as she has not found much that she is passionate about.

Morally grey/ambiguous- She has no concept of traditional morality. She was taught that the ends always justify the means. She will use and discard people and things at her whim, if ever they prove to not be useful to her and not think twice about it. She does not understand the concepts of good and evil,nor how her actions might impact or affect others, and she is quick to believe in what sounds right and logical. She has a slight tendency towards naivety and can be manipulated because of it.


PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Eyes: a very light blue grey, almost colorless, opaque.

Hair: light powdery blue, in soft loose curls naturally. Length is about to mid-waist when left down, though she likes to keep it up in sophisticated half updo.

Face: heart-shaped, soft, with aristocratic feminine features, her skin tone is pale but not overly so, she wears a pearlescent white eye shadow to enhance her eyes... which happen to be her favorite feature.

Clothes: really this all depends on her mood. From loose and flowy, to business formal, to revealing clubbing outfits, to skintight workout clothes, she wears it all. The only thing that is a must is that the clothes are flattering, feminine and beautiful.

Her favorite outfit is a icy tube-top high low dress with skintight steel grey leggings, thigh high riding boots, a ribbon choker with an old-fashioned cameo, unattached sleeves from just above the elbows, and midnight blue ribbons that twine up her upper arms.

Negaverse Alias: Lieutenant Empressite

Challenge: Don't trip up
Uniform:
Primary Color: midnight blue (hex code = #000033)
Secondary color: lighter grey ( hex code= #DCDCDC)

Top -- crop jacket (just under the bust, three-quarter length sleeves, secondary color piping at cuffs, and along the bottom), midriff baring shirt
Bottoms -- mid-thigh short skirt, over leggings cut-off just under the knees (same color as jacket piping)
Gloves -- black leather, short
Shoes -- stiletto sandals that lace up the calf
Accessories -- simple ribbon choker



Weapon --

marbles ---> concussive beads --> exploding beads
(a pouch that contains roughly 6-10)


Lieutenant: marbles, simply marbles. marbles Tripping hazard. Minor bruising if one actually gets hit by the projectile. Throwing range of 10 to 15 ft. Extremely inaccurate.


Captain: Concussive Beads, slightly larger than standard marbles (and a bit heavier). They are thrown against the ground and 'explode' with a sharp sound and small 'shockwave'. This only works if thrown against the ground or surface with similar hardness. This disorients enemy briefly and might cause them to back up a few paces. thrown range of 15 ft. Concussive force radiates in a 6-12 in. diameter around the bead.


General: Exploding Beads. Similar to the concussive beads. This only works if thrown against the ground or surface with similar hardness. Thrown range of 20 ft., explosive force in 5 ft. radius, most damage concentrated in the first 12- 18 in, exponentially lessens, dealing no damage beyond the 5 ft on its own. Effects equilibrium, causing loss of balance and 5-10 secs of disorientation/confusion, to simply causing the target to step back several steps.

Other Key Info:
~Taken away from parents as a toddler, and adopted by her grandparents. She was raised in a life of privilege. Her grandparents provided her with the best possible life. The only grey spot was Elise and Robert were politicians, they were away from home more often than not, though they made the effort to call her every morning when she woke and each night before bed when they were traveling.
~When she was ten, her grandparents were murdered in front of her.
~ Provisions in the will made it so that Lianna did not go back to her parents - if they were still alive- nor did she become a ward of the state. She was placed under the disinterested care of the family lawyers who made sure she had what she needed for day to day life, and that she was enrolled in the best schools, and that her grades were at the standards acceptable for a Beauchamps. Other than that, she was pretty much left on her own.


~Character Motivations: Maintaining or improving standard of life, fame/infamy.
~Reaction to Threats biggrin isbelief (who would dare threaten Her?), observation (just what are they attempting to do here?), if all else fails attack
~ In Their Element: In high society, center-stage/in the public eye, while out clubbing
~ Cherished Values/Possessions: Birthright, fame, wealth

About the Mineral: Empressite

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Empressite is a mineral form of silver telluride, AgTe. It is a rare, grey, orthorhombic mineral with which can form compact masses, rarely as bipyrimidal crystals.

Recent crystallographic analysis has confirmed that empressite is a distinct mineral with orthorhombic crystal structure, different from the hexagonal Ag5-xTe3 with which empressite has been commonly confused in mineralogy literature. At the same time, empressite does not appear on the equilibrium Ag-Te phase diagram, and therefore it is only metastable at ambient conditions. Given infinite time, it would phase separate into pure Ag5Te3 and pure Te.

The name empressite comes from the location of its discovery – the Empress Josephine mine, Saguache County, Colorado, USA. It was first described in 1914.

-will work on drawing/getting picture refs for her when I can, but other than that...-
PostPosted: Fri Dec 20, 2013 6:47 pm


hi! welcome to the shop!

i am just popping in to comment on her "memory" virtue - while virtues like loyal and perfectionist are perfectly acceptable, memory is more a skill/ability than it is an actual personality facet (or virtue). however, there are already elements of consideration for others within memory that you could easily seize upon to rewrite into an actual personality facet. for example - her eidetic memory is a tool by which she manifests her consideration for others.

additionally, the downside you have listed for that memory could be incorporated into her current flaws rather than an actual downside to a virtue.

she looks like a well thought-out character! good luck obtaining her!

And I realise the virtue 'memory' was very poorly worded- thanks for pointing it out.
And went back to change it around so it is perhaps a little better suited.

Hi there~ I'm gonna leave a pretty short crit for you! Once you've made any adjustments, please quote me and I'll come back t take a look<3

Civilian Side
Virtues: Looks good for the most part! The only thing that has me unsure is why Memory and Considerate would go hand in hand as one Virtue (instead of two separately written ones). Is her being considerate directly reflective of the fact that she has a good memory? More-so, does she really only use her amazing memory to be a considerate person? Or does this effect her in every aspect of her life (work, getting good grades, etc)? If it is something that goes beyond her being a considerate person, I think they'll need to be two different virtues that can work together.

Flaws: Her flaws all look good and give me a good idea of who she is as a person. And while I understand why they would be considered flaws, I'd like you to expand upon all 3 of them and include how these flaws affect her relationships with people. What happens if people do offer to help, re: Pride? And how do people react to her over-dramatics? Does this make friendships difficult to maintain? Morally grey/ambiguous is pretty clear as-is!

Powered Side

Looks good! As long as the Exploding Beads can't take down whole buildings, etc. as we don't allow powerful explosives like that (as far as I remember), it should be okay!

I combined the memory/considerate virtue into one, elaborated a bit on her virtues and flaws, and got rid of the overdramatic flaw and changed it to aimless...

I also fixed the formatting on her powered side weapon to better show the weapon progression / strengths and limitations

For 'aimless', would you say that applies to other parts of her life besides not wanting to be a lawyer? I just want to make sure this isn't just some really tiny thing that she does that doesn't affect her as a whole person, y'know? But if she's like that in anything she does in life (what do you want for dinner? oh I dunno, whatever, who cares....). Does she always come off disinterested to other people?

Beyond that, she's all set! With a tiny bit of clarification you'll be ready for a stamp. heart

Hey, Dawns! Welcome to Moonshop!

Overall your profile looks pretty good, and the civilian side is perfectly stampable and she seems like she'll be a really fun character to interact with! Right now, I only have one small concern; typically we do not allow certain Negaverse weapons due to their capability to cause significant damage or be overpowered and I worry that Empressite's explosives fall in this category. There's a little extra information in this post, but I think it might be possible to keep her beads with a few minor tweaks or clarifications!

Firstly, about how many beads does she get per stage? She won't need to manually restock these after use; each time she powers up her weapon will return to her (so if a Negaverse weapon like a sword breaks, all they have to do is power down and then power back up and their sword should be fixed! I figure if she is detonating her weapons for use, she will have a limited supply but they will magically replenish when she powers up again!)

Secondly, what does it take for the beads to explode? Do they have to make contact with a certain amount of force or do they detonate on impact?

For her Captain stage, provided the beads aren't causing any sort of fire and that the beads aren't filled with shrapnel, I think it would be acceptable for them to have a loud sound and create a small shockwave. It is specified in your attack that they are thrown against the ground, so sort of tying in with the second question from above, does the attack only work if it hits a hard surface? (Otherwise, I think the brief disorienting/forcing them to back up or lose balance is a fair effect!)

For her General stage, I think this is where things might be a little too powerful for shop standards, as it can cause burns and damage from debris. Flash bombs or smoke bombs can be very dangerous in their own way, but are far less lethal than actual exploding bombs. I think upgrading the parameters of the attack (she can throw 20 feet instead of 15, and each bead's force is mostly concentrated to 12-18 inches instead of 6-12), but I think that instead of focusing on explosive force or burns, it would be best to give it another trait that would prevent her beads from being legitimate explosives. The beads could still be loud, like an explosion, and upon detonation can have enough force to cause someone to be put off balance (without causing massive destruction to the environment), but I think it would be more shop appropriate if they had different effects (such as perhaps they flash bright lights upon detonation, obscuring or affecting the target's vision for a few seconds, or smoke bombs with a certain effect [makes them sluggish for a few seconds after inhaling, makes it hard to breathe until they can get to fresh air, makes it difficult to see for a few seconds, etc]).

I know I've left a wall of text so I'm sorry if that is intimidating! You have a really good profile, but I just wanted to ask a lot of questions and make sure I knew as much about her weapons as possible so we could try to work something out! If you have any questions, comments or make any changes, please give me a quote and I will be back as soon as possible!

Thank you for the clarification! I think as long as there isn't any real explosions and only explosive force, then the effects that you have described in your attacks would definitely work!

That being said, though, she looks good to me, so I'm going to drop off a stamp! Good luck winning her!
