Username: Lise Illumincroix
Who recruited you?: from old Altair guild
Name: Cwen Hazard (Yes, I actually looked online, and those are Brit surnames and names)
Age: 17
Gender: Straight female
Height: 5?4
Weight: 105
Race: Human
Social Class: Noble
Appearance: Cwen has naturally reddish orange hair that goes down to the middle of her back. When down, it appears similar to the Curlz Red style in the Gaia salon. When tied up as pig tails, it looks like the Lolita style. Tied up in one strand, it looks like the Terra-Twist only not as spiky in the back. Cwen?s eyes have those color changing ability from blue to green and back. This is not under her control. It has been attributed possibly to the change in seasons. Cwen?s figure is that of a slender youth. She is rather attractive even with a well defined jaw and sharp features. Below her neck above her chest area is a scar, a burn of some sort. Her skin is light tan colored. Cwen?s clothes are quite varied, and it?s not just because she?s a noble. Personally, she prefers trousers and male clothes since they allow her a wider range of movement. However, so not to break tradition as much, she pairs the ladies?s upper tops with the trousers when alone or working. Otherwise, she'll wear skirts if need be in public. Cwen does have gowns, and they range from the very elaborate to the plain but elegant. Some of Cwen?s gowns are rather revealing?
Personality: Cwen is rather approachable, being kind and friendly, when testing inventions on others without asking them or when she is interested in them. However, she prefers to be alone so she can dabble in inventing random things. Otherwise, she?s pretty apathetic and haughty, not afraid to put people down.
Character flaws: Cwen has a superiority complex, where she thinks that only a select few in the noble class are skilled enough to be practical and efficient inventors, herself being one. She also hates conforming, thus her etiquette and ways may be slightly different, causing others to shun her. Cwen?s strength also isn?t exactly her forte.
Background: Cwen comes from a wealthy family of some royal descent. Cwen?s father is an avid supporter of new and inventive devices. However, he is more of a traditional not- so ?inclined- to build type. Cwen?s mother is the opposite of her father. She is an inventor, but doesn?t enjoy it due to the possible dangers that the inventions can cause. In order to run the household, Cwen's mother has invented some items that make tasks simpler so she doesn't have to move as much. Cwen?s brother, Oliver, was supposedly killed during work in a forest. The family had never been able to see his body due to the contention that it had been burned to ashes in the fire that had broken out. Raised in a small city in a huge house with servants, Cwen was sent to a school known for its rigorous and challenging curriculum after much debate between her parents. The idea was to let her choose what she wanted to do. Her mother strongly discouraged the inventive side. Her dad endorsed it. Because of her mother?s dislike, Cwen became interested in and eventually specialized in camouflage items to hide her interest from her mother. Her cover was as a musician playing the harp with a slight interest in knowing about inventing. Cwen?s father insisted on Cwen fencing since at the moment, there was no male heir. To be precise, Cwen?s father was a well respected man and powerful as well. Cwen followed in his suit in his thinking and her mother?s brilliance in inventing. Needless to say, Cwen was a marvelous student even if she did annoy some of the other students with some of her lack of reactions. When Cwen hit college age, her parents decided to have her go to [insert The Univeristy name] to mix with a different group of people and to meet more people.
Skills: Cwen specializes in camouflaging and making normal things useful. With the aforementioned specialty comes the artistic ability that she uses to brainstorm these things. She is also skilled in fencing and playing the harp.
Explanation of Camouflage and Normal Inventions: BAsically, in order to hide any hint of contraption, Cwen specializes in making normal things such as her fan or book something else. Outside, it looks like a book or a fan, but in actuality, the book may also serve as a key or as a weapon while the fan can be a holder of weapons. Yeah, I'm using weapon examples here.
Belongings: Being an inventor, Cwen has with her tools, wires, etc. She also has clothes comprised both of men and women?s clothes. Also with her are fencing equipment and her harp. Obviously, she has school supplies such as books and writing utensils. A few of her inventions such as a fan, which serves as a weapon holder, are with her as well.
Character secrets: Cwen?s scar is from a terrible event that occurred when she was younger. She has suppressed that memory, but whenever someone deeply inquires about it, she will cry. Unbeknownst to Cwen, the Hazard line is somewhat cursed. As the last name can imply, the line?s members tend to die tragically or be involved in something tragic. Strange things may occur. Cwen?s father and mother seem to have avoided it well, but one never knows? maybe her brother isn?t dead? yet.
Anything else: Cwen?s name means ?queen.?
RP Sample: Uh, look at old Altair?

First things first.
Eyes cannot change colour. No matter what. So that really, really, really needs to go.
What are the methods Cwen uses to camouflage things?
As for your postscript: Yes, but this is the beauty of the AU. Sciences are okay for women to be in. Hell, in Victorian schools in RL, women and men didn't even go to the same schools. Women couldn't get advanced college degrees!
AU, please.

ALright, I shall fix the app. I put the eye changing colour thing at first because a few of my friends eyes seem to switch between blue and green, because the colors are never always the same. They admitted it. sweatdrop
Though now, I have a question about AU. CAn you umm.. define society? I guess I'm now assuming that women and men are somewhat equal and do not follow Victorian code at all.

Keep in mind that it's seem. My eyes are the right shade of blue-grey that appear more blue when I wear blue shirts, and grey when I wear grey shirts. Victorian code will still be fairly chauvinistic, which means that characters will still have to deal with women not being able to vote, needing to be escorted off the property by an approved chaperone, and will be expected to run a household, but akin to steampunk, women will be allowed in the sciences, can wear pants, and go to classes with those of the opposite sex, among other things.

One more thing. We've killed the Altair plot, and in fact, this isn't Altair at all. You might want to revamp the whole war story.

Oi, okay. I think I will probably get a little confused through some part of the rp whenever we start. So, I'll post whatever questions I have then, if app accepted here, then.

It is I, Tori, the rabid neon squirrel!
I say you can keep the eye-changing thing, because eye colour can change through the seasons. If it's only blue to green, I don't think it really matters anyways.
As long as you use it in the roleplay...
I think she should have to wear trousers and skirts, cuz it would be pretty hard to gain access to multiple trousers without people wondering. My character is being forced to wears skirts, too.
And she's the bully who doesn't give a crap about customs.
Other than that... the weaponry doesn't seem to be very essential, but I like the whole fan thing.
Nothing else I can see that's wrong. I'll just put you on the accepted list- not like you weren't going there, anyways!- and if D has a problem with anything she can tell you when she gets back from the conference.

Hehe. Thanks! Yesh, I will use the eye colour change in the roleplay. However, its significance may or may not come out from the beginning. Depends on how the rp revolves.
I fixed the trouser skirt business. cool Hehe. Your character is interesting. I wonder how my character would react. xd
