Welcome to Gaia! ::

||| Premade Form

This is the form/prompt you will use for applying for a premade character in the post above.

Username or "Owner's" Name: Trelweny (full username: Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf)

"Name" of Character applying for: "The Elvin Blade"

What would you name the character?: Nihahiel (nee-hah-he-ell) &/or Yantahiril (yahn-tah-here-il, Elvish "bridge lady")


Tell us about where the character is from/a bit about the play they are in/etc: I.E. This is basically like the traditional 'background' section in concept threads. Tell us what you think the characters background should be like, you don't have to have it hammered out to finalized perfection, though.
Highborn, she was intended to be the "bridge" between two "houses" in disagreement but something went wrong in that regard. Her birth name "Yantahiril" signifies that intention.
She trained as all elves in forestry & weaponry. After whatever it was that happened however she chose her new name, "Nihahiel" which has no true Elvish meaning -almost as if to symbolize how she might feel she has no meaning, or how she felt at the time. She joined the guard/army and raised ranks quickly in part from her noble training, in part from her determination.
She is afraid to let anyone close, afraid they will find out who she was born and learn of her failure (as she believes the incident in the past to be her fault though it is not).

In the play, she is in charge of those on the hunt for the protagonists. It is her decision in the final act to mislead her followers & let the lovers escape together. She only has three, maybe four walk-ons: the first she is seen only as strong, cold, & determined; the second hinting at some past fear or hurt, making her more real; the third may or may not be part of the fourth being very close together & showing her becoming "real" and making the perhaps fatal decision.


Tell us about the character's personality, and maybe even a bit about the actor: I.E. Tell us about some of the characters skills/imperfections/attitudes. If you're going to get into information about the actor, keep it light, actors are generally not cared about. (;
Actor: tended to immerse herself into characters, perhaps even researching into possible sources to get a better "feel" for her role. It did not matter if she played the leading lady, a minor character, a chorus member, or a walk-on –she put her all into her performance until the character shone through. She was the character.

Skills: excellent swordswoman, knows the Elvish spells of her family well though she has not used them since the incident that lead her to disappear. One of the top ranger/foresters of her kind. Efficient with dagger/knife. Keen shot with both long & short bow. Knows most if not all forest herbs on sight & the rest in theory & could probably figure out what they are. Trained to survive & forage.

Attitude: cold, distant. Often aloof & regal but with a sudden earthiness from having trained as she did & understanding hardships. Hard, but not unfeeling. In battle/hunt always the regal & efficient leader. When not... sometimes she will slip between being leader & being "one of them" -almost.

Imperfections: often a trace of sadness. Certainly a sense of failure, but is it only to duty/family or something more. When she is not behind her cold façade, she is likely to follow her emotions, which she does not trust. Sometimes she forgets in her distancing herself that there are useful things to learn from those she might think of as lower than herself.


Finally, show us some of your roleplay finesse. RP a moment in the character's life, (or if you prefer, a moment in the play the character is from), but keep it semi-short: I.E. The first thing that comes to mind! Expand on some of the information given to you about the character in the post above, roleplay out feelings or sights and sences. Roleplay out their entrance onto the stage, or if you already have more formed ideas in your head, roleplay out a short part of a significant moment in the character's 'life.'
I stand in the wings, light hidden from my face by long, thick black curtains. My cue comes. I step from between the curtains into the light. No longer am I whoever I was moments ago. I am Nihahiel, the Elf Blade. My skill with the blade is near unmatched among my brethren; my silence on the hunt uncanny; My mane of red hair a banner that I do not need to hide its color to succeed. Eyes turn to me but I only heed those of my group. I lead the hunt. My words pour from my lips like crystal water and they obey.

I am Nihahiel... I am.
