BACKSTORY/BACKGROUND


A brief overview of their life so far

Arianna has had a difficult life although up to a certain point in her freshling years she was a happy little girl who laughed and played with her sister, her twin. Life seemed perfect living with her twin sister, Arianne although her coloring is light as to her dark. Her loving parents, her Mother is a Baphomet and her Father is a Fey (Solar), and they got along very well. Or so she thought until one fateful day:

One day she overheard her parents arguing over something that she just could not make out their voices were muffled then loud then muffled again as if trying to stay quiet as not to disturb the children. Scared she ran to her twin and they huddled together in their room while the voices got angrier and louder, then a loud bang of the door and silence then a few moments later came a soft crying sound. Arianna could not help but worry so she slipped off the bed and opened the door to see her Mother crying sitting at their dining table. She walked over and gave her a hug but it did not help. Her Mother was crying uncontrolably by then and her face was wet from the shed tears. Arianna felt helpless, her twin, Arianne came over to give comfort as well hoping to help in her own way. It seemed an eternity they stood there hugging their Mother, before she got up and cooked them dinner. They ate silently since no one dared ask where their Father was. They went to bed early that night and when Arianna awoke in the morning, both her Sister and her Father were gone. She first thought they were outside but when she climbed out of her bed she noticed her sisters belongings were gone and on the table between their bed was a note for her from her sister.

Ari

Daddy wants me to go with him, I have to go. Mama wants you to stay with her so I have to go, I love you! I will see you again.

Loves
Ann

Tears welled up in her eyes as now she only had her Mother but her twin the other half of her soul was gone as well. She was not only her twin but her best friend and she felt hopeless standing there. She then knew what pain felt like since her heart felt like it was breaking, falling to the floor she laid there sobbing for how long she could not recall until her Mother came in and gently picked her up and rocked her telling her it would all work out just had to have faith.



Whether or not they're an orphan from the cache

The information is covered above.

How their status as an orphan or non-orphan has effected them

Since she was not an orphan her views on her races is different from most, she was given all the information possible in regards to the races. Her Mother gave her books about the races, etiquette, governments and gods. She was one of the lucky ones as she had access to knowledge within her grasp whenever she wished and she would lose herself in books for hours on end.

Her Mother gave her all the love she could and provided everything she would ever need or want except her Sister and Father back in her life. Arianna accepted that and faced each day with renewed hope one day she would see them both again. Her interest in the Seasons became more apparent as she grew from Freshling to Junior to Senior. She strived to learn about them every aspect and was determined to fetter out any hidden information whether it was animal, plant, ground or weather/temperature related as long as it was impacted by the Seasons she was interested.

One event that changed their life or effected them

Besides how she lost her Sister and Father the only other event that really effected them was:

Running through the wooded area close to her home one glorious summer day she came upon clear pool of water that was rippling as if someone or something just swam through. Curious she hid behind a tree trunk and waited. Not to long in her wait a young Freshling Nixie appeared, hauled themselves up on the sides of the water and stretched out sighing.

For some odd reason Arianna found this fascinating, it was almost as if that Nixie was worshipping the Seasons. She thought that was a odd thing to think but it was there in front of her, she could not deny that the Nixie was enjoying the breeze, the sun and the cool water where their tail was lazily dipping in making swirls. Wanting to feel like that one day, she suddenly realized that she wanted to study the Seasons to see if they affected others like it affected this Nixie! Smiling she turned and silently walked off back towards ther house to find any book on the Seasons and get to reading.

How they feel about their race and house

To be honest she knows more about her Baphomet half then her Fey (Solar) half of her race. Her Mother has told her all about their government, the Rexes, their values and customs, their family units, their worshipping of the Nine and the before and after of the 50 Year War.

She will admit to knowing more about the Baphomet race then the Fey race, she has done some research into her Father's people and is intrigued by what she has read. The most intriguing part of her Fey heritage is the flower that grows from the heart. She was always curious as to why she had that and her Mother never really explained it either except to take careful care of it, it is damaged she could die was all she was told. The courting rituals was also interesting to her, since she was now old enough to find a mate she was exceptionally apprehensive about knowing how the Fey race handled romanatic situations. She did not want to do something that came natural to her and be embarassed since she did not know she could.

She adores her house, it suits her perfectly. Her studies keeps her busy, as does her past times. She is a excellent student, does not like to mess up her school work although there are times her lateness gets her in trouble.

Their goals in life

To become a expert in the Seasons. There is so much to learn about which season brings to the world and why. How each effects the enviroment, weather, animals, plants, the races of the world of below. It is intriguing to her to see the functionality of each season as it coralates into transitioning into the next.

Ari knows this will be alot of hard work, she will have to graduate from all three universities in order to get a degree in each subject she will need for her studies. Botany, Biology, Weather, Chemistry, Science, Animals, Geology, and a few other subjects. She has prepared herself for a long and tedious journey to obtain the necessary knowledge in order to pursue her love of the Seasons.

PERSONALITY


Arianna is a very happy Female, although she can hide her feelings exceptionally well most will say she is outgoing and fun to be around. She is always there to make someone smile, and help if she can. Although on her rare bad days she can be moody and lazy not wanting to be bothered. These days she is not herself and she tends to just stay in her room and mope. Usually in a day or two she is back to her normal outgoing, happy and annoyingly optimistic self.

One thing that drives her friends and Mother crazy about her is the fact she is always late and I mean always. She leaves early and is still late to wherever she is going, usually because she stops to help those or talk to people she sees. She can't help it, it is in her nature to be so kind. Although she is always looking around to see what changes happen on that specific day and takes notes for future reference and this is the main reason she is usually late. Always finding something new about a Season she records her findings and gets so wrapped up in what is happening she forgets about her priorities. Not intending to forget about her daily tasks, it just seems to happen.

Her hobbies seem to keep her busy, she loves the fact one of her hobbies will be what she studies the Seasons. Although she loves to find pretty rocks and gems, anything Seasonal related really makes her happy. Usually you can find her outside when the weather is nice either reading, looking for rocks/gems or just wandering around looking for something to happen she can record for her studies.

To some Arianna is to out going, others she is just sweet. She is the type that over talks about a subject she is passionate about and seems pushy in regards to it. She just loves to share information about her interests in the hopes someone else will be excited and interested as well. She really means no harm when she seems pushy she just does not realize how she is being at the time, but later when she reflects on the conversation she understands and feels bad she came across that way.

Positive Traits: Outgoing, Optimistic, Happy
Negative Traits: Indecisive, Always Late, Lazy (to an extent)
Likes: Seasons, Warm weather, Bright Colors, Books
Dislikes: Negativity, Unjustice, Fighting, Making the wrong choice.
Hobbies: Reading, Studying the Seasons, Weather, Games, Gems/Rocks

Your Nightmare has to write an essay on what they want to be when they grow up. Do they procrastinate, or get to work immediately? What is their essay about?

Once Arianna was given this assignment she sat down and began to work on it immediately. She already knew what she wanted to study and devote her life to and that was the Seasons.

Picking up her pencil she thought for just a few moments and then began to write. The words flowed easily as if she was speaking them instead of writing them.

Where to begin with what I would like to devote my life to, study and give my time and dedication to? I had pondered this a little as a Freshling, then when I became a Junior one day while outside enjoying the nice cool Spring breeze I noticed a flower that was attempting to bloom. I found it fascinating. I wanted to know why it chose that day to try was it due to a temperature change, something on the breeze, somehow the flower knew it was the start of Spring and it was time to bloom, or was it the fact it had enough nutrients to do so. Suddenly looking around I realized that each season I saw specific things only in that specific season and I wanted to know why. The Seasons had intrigued me from that day on. The thirst for the knowledge and answers is what motivates me every day to find something new, answer one of the many questions I have or find a new answer to questions already answered. The seasons are vital to our world, each one brings with it life and death in their own way. I have so many questions regarding the Seasons but the main ones being why and why that season? Meaning why does this specific flower bloom in the Spring but not the Summer? I am curious and the answers is what drives me to study every day. I hope one day to be able to answer these questions and many others so all those in our world can learn and benefit from my passions.

Now as a Senior in the University I can devote my studies to finding out why. I wish to fulfill my dream of being a expert in the Seasons. How you say? I can take different classes and combine the knowledge I obtain there and apply them to my observations of the seasons. What classes? Chemistry, Biology, Botany, Science, Weather, Astronomy, and others. Each one of these has specific information I need to further my education.

Others have asked her why and her answer is always the same. Each Season has a different way of expressing itself, I want to know why. I am curious as to why Summer has the cool sea breeze that smells so fresh but Winter has the same breeze but it smells almost murky. I want to know why Spring has the new life that begins to grown and Autumn/Fall has that same life die off. I have other questions but they will answered in due time when I do my research.

For her each new day is a new adventure into the world of the Seasons, just because a particular season is known for specific weather does not mean this is always so. You can have a snow storm in the Spring, a Spring thaw in the Winter, a soft warm breeze in the Autumn/Fall and a nice crisp day in the Summer. I for one am curious as to why, I want to know. It is something that I want to answer so I can share my findings with our world.

Would love some critiques!
PostPosted: Tue Jan 10, 2017 7:20 pm


critique incoming!


Basic Information:
  • Looks good!


Appearance:
  • Everything here is really nice, however I am going to have to ask you to add a few things:
  • Please take your reference image and put it in the post using User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
  • Please include larger references of the hairstyle, such as a photo of someone wearing their hair similarly! The avi is so cute, but the images of it are a bit too small to see everything that's going on there.
  • Please explain what kind of facial expression you'd like for your character to have! You don't have to pick out a number, just describe the expression so the colorist knows what mood they should be portraying.
  • Since Arianna is a hybrid, please explain under "base" what racial traits you'd like for her to have - Baphomet horns/legs? Fey antennae/flower/wings? What combination of these traits would you like, and which ones would you not like (for example, the Fey legs can cancel out the fluffy bapho legs)?
  • Would you like for her body to have specific markings? If not, please mention that!


Personality:
  • Please write a paragraph in your Personality post summarizing Arianna's personality as a whole! Her hobbies, likes/dislikes, etc., come together nicely, but a paragraph of about 200 words would help me to imagine Arianna better as a character.


Backstory:
  • Your backstory looks good, you have lots of detail in here! Thank you for going through every point provided.
  • You do not have to change anything regarding this, but one thing I would think about is: how will Arianna study the seasons within the NMA setting? What kind of classes might she take in university to attain her dream? If she is not planning on attending university, how would she run her personal studies?
  • Everyone in NMA must have attended the Asphodel Gardens Academy, so please be sure you mention that!


RP Prompt:
  • You definitely seem to be going in the right direction, but your RP response is just under the word minimum (which is 250 words)! If you need ideas for how to expand, perhaps talk more about how Arianna is feeling about writing the essay. Another idea might be to mention how her idea of what she was going to be when she grew up has changed since she was a child.
  • For legibility, I'd also like to suggest you find a way to differentiate between the essay itself and the narration of Arianna writing. For example, you could put the essay in italics or quotation marks.


Please quote me in a new post when you've made the appropriate edits! There is no need to do them in a different color. Thank you!

Hi, Irish! Thank you for making the edits you've done - it's really added a lot to your quest and helped me to picture Arianna better as a character, and how she will function in this world! Before I approve your quest finally, I would like you to address a few things in your appearance section - I'd mentioned these things before, but you seemed to have missed them:

Appearance:
  • Please include references of the hairstyle, such as a photo of someone wearing their hair similarly! This is important, as even in the larger version of your avi it can be difficult to tell where the hair ends and the horns begin. I've discussed this with colorists, and they agree that they would prefer to have outside references of the hairstyle.
  • Please explain what kind of facial expression you'd like for your character to have! You don't have to pick out a number of a premade face, just describe the expression so the colorist knows what mood they should be portraying. You are free to put this information under "Base" or "Body."
  • Please put your mention of "no specific body markings" under the Body section of your custom form.


Once these small changes have been made, I'll be more than glad to approve your quest! Thanks for your continued patience and cooperation!
