Full Name: [ Talise Dermot ] Nicknames: [ Tali, Lisie (Lee-See), Lise (Lease) ] Race: [ Yaeli ] Gender: [ Female ] RP Color:[#C5908E] Age: [ Youngling ] Religion: [ Dualism ] Political Affiliation: [ Ha ha ha… Good one!~ ]
3 Base Traits: [ -Placid -Solitary -Analytical]
Personality: [ Placid: Talise is a surprisingly peaceful soul. She is content to just be still, in nature, alone. From her speech to her mannerisms she is very tranquil; it takes quite the ruckus to get her riled. Even when she is riled she tends to bottle it inside until she can’t hold it in anymore… Once that point has been reached she, depending on whether she can influence the situation or not, she turns to prayer. However, if she can change the situation her action is swift and decisive and like involves some sort of violence.
Solitary: When overwhelmed Lisie seeks solitude to center herself and regain control of her temper; lest she turns out like her father. Her interests also tend to be somewhat off-putting to most earthlings, but it all serves a greater purpose through the knowledge it provides her. Her solidarity can be a double-edged sword; as much as she may need it… She also tends to get lonely.
Analytical: Lise learns most of what she does on a trial basis; find a problem, fix the problem, what did you learn along the way that makes it easier to fix in the future? If she can discover how it all works, she will have a better understanding in the future. ]
Serious Problems/Flaws/Addictions/Disorders/Disabilities: [ Socially Awkward: Spending most of her time in the rickety basic studio style home on the edge of a bayou; she doesn’t get much social interaction. What social interaction she gets is likely not healthy. Now, she does escape it sometimes in the hopes of meeting new people, but when she does most find her to be… disturbed. I imagine through more interaction this trait will improve.
Caring: When Lise “bonds” with something she develops this nurse-like desire to care for it. A good example would be an injured creature. She would coddle it like a baby and use whatever knowledge she had on the species to help in any way possible, but she would keep it as far away from anyone else as possible; especially her father - for fear he might just put it out of its misery. She would lie and evade and do anything in her power to keep her “healing” a secret - steal supplies, etc.
Temper/ Mental Stability: Talise tries to remain calm because she has seen her father and what happens when he is upset; she doesn’t want to do that. She tries to alienate herself for fear she would hurt someone, she tries to be tranquil to keep from “unleashing the beast”. Every social interaction she feels as though she is walking a tightrope and if she takes the wrong step she could do something terrible… Through further interaction, she will learn that her father is just a very ill man and that his madness is not her own. ]
Likes: [ natural anomalies/ birth defects, Healing things by whatever means are available to her, singing/humming wordless tunes, ]
Dislikes: [ Other Earthlings telling her she’s gross, a monster, tainted or hexed or cursed, being chased or threatened when people ask about her father. ]
Religion: [ Lurin The male God, God of the Land of the Remembered, often depicted as the light side of the deities *As a youngling Tali will pray to Lurin to help guide her father down a lighter path and to bring him back to her. Nothing ever changes, and she eventually loses faith that Lurin has any regards for her. She loses faith that he would ever turn his gaze on her and turns her sights to Dafiel in her later stages.
Dafiel The female Goddess, Goddess of the Land of the Forgotten often depicted as the darker side of the deities Upon learning of her father's activities in her later stages, she turns to darker hobbies and takes an interest in developing poisons through various plant matter. As death became a natural part of her everyday life, she becomes numb to it and inevitably accepts it is a part of life. Talise embraces Dafiel as her primary deity. ]
Hobbies: [ drawing/studying keldari, playing with Keldari - feeding them certain crystals to see how it changes them, growing exotic plants, creating poisons and poultices ]
Special Abilities/Skills: [ Not being grossed out by gore, a determination to learn, the ability to completely remove herself emotionally from a situation ]
Occupation(s): [ (youngling) Keldari Wrangler : More like a hobby than anything, really~ ] Past Occupation(s): [ ------ ]

Ears: long, slender, and adorable~ Nose: Petite button nose with a slightly curved bridge Crystal Placement: See Reference in Collage, one smooth perfectly round circle in the dip of her collarbone, and X - if someone can work the symbol for deflect/block on her abdomen or rib somehow my life would be complete. Freckle Placement: Starting with a light dappling along the top edge of ears, cheeks, nose, and a little on the forehead(closer to brow line and bridge of nose).

Clothing: [ Youngling: >3 NEKKID~ Would enjoy having ragged ol'scarf if possible...? Prentice: Dull shades of Gray, Green and Brown - Boots~ - Button up jacket with pocket - Gray - large on her - Pants - Brown - large on her/rolled up - Long sleeved shirt - Green - longer - Boots! - I'm thinking they will be the same color as they are in the Collage~ Stage 2: Taking what we have from her prentice stage and changing them slightly. - Over the shoulder half shirt with belts - I like the idea of this, but with a different sleeve... maybe poofy but tight around the wrist? (will have to experiment) - keep pants and long sleeved shirt from the prior stage(Similar to other image w/o big black triangle parka) - Ol' Scarf can serve as "hood" Stage 3: I like everything about this image, but I would like to incorporate the scarf in some way.

Education: [ While her father was carrying out random odds and ends jobs he would leave his precious Lisie in the care of a curator of the local children’s home. While there, she was taught to read and write. She learned of the Deities and morals and the basic rights from wrongs. Though she was never kept there long, Kartane would always come back for her as soon as he was able. ]
Relationship History: [ ;T She’s just a babin~ -covers her precious freckled ears-]
History: [ Talise Dermot was born of childhood sweethearts~ Tavinia and Kartane. They had been through it all together. Her mother, Tavinia, was a gorgeous young scholar with deep mahogany purple hair, long slender ears, beautiful spherical glowing eyes; she was perfect… In more than just her father’s eyes. How she ended up with a lowlife like Kartane? Well, that goes back to their youth. There aren’t many families that are willing to settle in the swamp-like bayou between settlements; it’s generally settled out of desperation. Tavinia’s family had fallen on hard times and was forced out of the Ilidan settlement over a dispute. Seeing as they weren’t the only ones; they settled closish to the Dermot abode.
Blessed with a beautiful baby girl the downhearted couple poured everything they had into making her the best she could be. Her mother was an excellent seamstress, and her father gifted in making intricate textiles. Tavinia always had the finest clothes her parents could provide, and with her looks - This may have gotten her into a bit of trouble~
That’s where her rowdy neighbor comes in! Kartane was born of the pinnacle of outcasts in society. His mother was mentally unstable… Always cuddling a doll that she would claim was Kartane as a baby; that he never grew up to look so much like his father. Whenever she laid eyes on her aging son she would shriek and cry and swat at him to leave. Kartane’s father- a violent drunk. Needless to say, there was always some sort of ruckus going on at the Dermot household and none of it good. Kartane would flee any chance he got; which often leads him to visit his only neighbor; Tavinia.
Her family gave him some normalcy in his otherwise hectic life… So he, in kind, protected their daughter, cared for her, and eventually fell in love with her. She was his everything, but as she aged her parents continued to pressure her to pursue a life outside of the Bayou- Move to Pajore, devote herself to The Sanctum…
By this time, Kartane’s mother had passed of seemingly natural causes in her sleep, turning all his father’s aggression onto him. One night, through the flying fists of his father, Kartane managed to grab a meat cleaver… By the end of it all, Kartane was left standing and the local wildlife would eat well that night~
Home alone(long after his father’s “disappearance”), Kartane received a late night visit from his favorite neighbor, Tavinia. The couple shared a night of passion; one Kartane would likely never forget, and by morning Tavinia was nowhere to be found. All she left behind was a tear-stained letter “Good Bye” sealed with her soft purple lipstick.
Kartane was devastated. To cope, he turned to similar habits of his father - drinking… It was a rough year for him, but when he emerged on the other side of it, he found a package at his door - And there was a note.
‘Kartane, I understand this may be difficult for you, but I have made a life in Pajore. As much as I tried to leave you in my past, it would seem as though you followed me anyway. This is your daughter, Talise.
Goodbye’
No signature… No tears… Just cold distant facts and a bundle on his step. Releasing the letter to the wind with all his bitter, negative energy, he brought the bundle inside. Draining all his bottles into the swamp, he started trying to find a way to provide for his daughter; by any means necessary ]

Family: [ Kartane Dermot - Father - [Height: 5’4” ] [ Build: Scrawny(140ish?) and solid muscle… like not an ounce of fat on this dude but each muscle is visible and cut] [Hair: Nearly white lavender and cut very short.(his hair was darker purple but the longer he stayed in the swamp-like land he lived in the paler his hair got - either through consumption or exposure)] [Skin: pale olive with a crapload of freckles, more concentration where the sun hits skin. (shoulders, neck, back, head, arms, face) (when out in the sun he burns super fast and then when it heals he freckles - doesn’t seem to tan at all though~) ] [ Eyes: Typical… Yaeli Eyes? ] [Clothes: loose knee-high shorts, shin-high work boots, button up *jacket/shirt, *hat, *ragged plaid scarf (*weather depending)]
[Personality: To the average person Kartane mostly keeps to himself - he understands that people would see him as the outcast because of where he lives. He rarely makes appearances in any of the settlements(until he was looking for work after he received his daughter). On the off chance someone does approach him, he’s pretty outgoing actually. You would leave the conversation with that feeling of ‘huh, that went a lot better than I thought it would~’
To his daughter, he is the fun, loving, playful father any child could dream of. Though his work at the local mortuary had odd hours and meager pay, he did his best to make sure little Talise was never alone. ]
As mentioned above Kartane was born to the pinnacle of outcasts: An angry drunk and a mentally unstable woman. His upbringing was less than stable and once he had some solid ground to stand on it was washed out from under him when his lover, Tavinia, left for Pajore - and her family shortly behind her. Alone, in his own sort of way, he dealt with her leaving. A little over a year had passed and he received word from her… and a daughter.
It wasn’t perfect, but it was something and he made the most of it. Against all odds, Kartane straightened out his act and Talise became the center of his world. He tried doing odd jobs to provide for her. It was usually hard manual labor or jobs that no one else wanted to do. With a bit of luck, he managed to land a semi-permanent position as a mortician's assistant. He didn't really do much with the burial rituals, but he was great for the heavy lifting, and grave digging. It wasn't ideal, but it was consistent work and for the security of his daughter's future, Kartane began to settle into his new role in Yaeli society. ]
[Tavinia - Mother - After leaving the swampy bayou, Tavinia's family returned to Pajore. She earned a job doing menial tasks inside the outer sanctum. Eventually, she will earn herself an apprenticeship through a reputable seamstress in the sanctum and as her reputation grows, she is eventually able to restore her family's name; thus returning her parents to their former glory. With their life returned to normal, Tavinia finds herself freed of obligation to them and leaves the sanctum to find what it is she wants in life. ]
Future Plot: [ Youngling - Mainly just developing her relationship with her father and finding her place in society.
Prentice- After her father disappears, a new face arrives in town from a distant island known as Belrea. She takes an interest in him and eventually convinces the local mortician to hire him to replace Kartane. Talise finds the man has a wealth of knowledge about many things and becomes his apprentice.
Stage 2 - Her father returns to find Talise thriving on her own. She learns about his activities in Oba/ hides him from his pursuers/ eventually gets roped into helping his organization from afar.
**The possible return of her mother somewhere in stage 3-4** I'm really not sure if I will use this... It depends on if I want to Kill of Kartane in the future or not... If I do kill him, She won't reappear unless I need to induce the feels and it would be a "D,< now you show up?!" sort of journal and done. If I decide to let him live than she will return and try to get start a life with Kartane. As I've said, I really don't care what she did in the past, just let me know what I can do with her and we'll go from there.]

“Fortune Telling”: Using a Limbara tooth and some white and black stones/wood/bone she mixes and scatters the items onto the earth to determine what it is in store for whoever holds the pleasure of playing with her~ ]

☺ ------ Friends ☻ ------ Foes ♥ ------ Love Interests Sexual Orientation: [ Too Young~ ] Current Relationship Status: [ Not Applicable ] Relationship History: [ None ]
As Talise encounters characters of Tendaji, they will be listed under this post. Lise's opinion or the nature of your encounter will determine which icon you receive. Two icons will be rewarded to each roleplay you complete with Talise. One in the beginning and one in the end.
☺ ------ This is the Friend Icon. Your character will receive one of these for any meet and greet roleplay. If the meeting ends on a good note you will receive an additional friend icon, but if it ends on a bad one you will receive a Foe Icon. If the roleplay so happens to twist enough that there is a romantic interest at the end your character may receive a Love Icon.
☻ ------ This is the Foe Icon. Your character will receive one of these in any negative interaction/ battle roleplay. Just because your character receives one of these Icons doesn't necessarily mean that Talise hates you... Just means you had a rocky start.
[Ex1/ Say Talise upset you and he has no clue, and you aim to give him a piece of your mind. You will receive a Foe Icon, but if the matter is resolved, say he apologizes and there are no hard feelings then your character will receive a Friend Icon for the ending icon.]
[Ex2/ if your character picks a fight with Talise, Even if it's sparring, you will be awarded a Foe Icon. However, if it is nothing more than sparring and it ends on a positive note, then you will receive a Friend Icon at the completion of the roleplay. If it is a physical confrontation and it ends on a negative note, then you will receive two Foe Icons.]
♥ ------ This is the Love Icon. Your character will receive this icon if you are a love interest to Talise. Most Roleplays will not start with this icon unless you have had past roleplays with Talise that resulted in a Love Icon.
Ex1/ Say your character was pursuing Talise as their love interest, and in the last roleplay, you expressed your feelings for him. that roleplay would begin with a friend icon and end with a love icon.
Ex2/ Now say he wanted to meet you for a date then that roleplay would begin with a love icon and if everything went well and you both still had feelings for each other it would end with a love icon.
Ex3/ If your date ended and either you or he realized this isn't exactly what they imagined it to be and want to remain friends/ acquaintances(the relationship ended on a mutual standing) the roleplay would start with a love icon and then end with a friend icon.
Ex4/ If your date ended with your character throwing any heavy object available, cursing and screaming his name at the top of their lungs(the relationship ended poorly) the roleplay would start with a love icon and end with a Foe Icon. ** Remember~ This doesn't mean that Talise hates you! He may fear for his safety in your presence after this, but it's something that can be smoothed over in time!
