Welcome to Gaia! ::

Just did a read-over of the main personality profile --

ARCHAEOLOGY - This reads kind of Tomb Raider-y to me ;; I don't think they just hand teenagers shovels and expect them to dig up valuable artifacts. There's a long and very delicate process involved in making sure things dug up are carefully preserved as best as archaeologists can manage for things hundreds to thousands of years old. She might have watched from afar, but unless she was an archaeology major on a study or work trip I don't think it would be very likely that she'd be allowed to be part of the process. I'd do some research on archaeology digs to be sure though.

LUCKY + ATHLETIC - Athletic and lucky are not virtues sad They aren't personality traits of hers. If she is athletic because of some kind of personality trait, that's a virtue. If she is confident because of her luck, that's a virtue. But to be athletic and lucky are not defining characteristics as far as how she'll act around others. Flex her muscles and find money? XD;; Also, 'lucky' included in a profile might be slightly game-breaking. Luck in general just does not fall into being a virtue, flaw, or hobby, so I would probably leave it out and play it up more if she took some kind of active interest in superstition or good luck charms.

LIBERTINE - I would go into more detail about how this is a flaw. Right now it doesn't seem to be affecting her negatively, basically being a 'badass flaw'. From what I can see, she ALWAYS gets what she wants and she doesn't care what happens even when there are repercussions. Does being amoral ever carry over into being socially awkward, since she only does things her way and never even stops to consider the other person who doesn't share her views? Is she barred from going into a lot of places in destiny city for her behavior? Has she lost a lot of friends through disregarding their feelings? Has experimenting with drugs and sex led to abuse and sickness and possible permanent damage to herself? Trading the long term for the short term can be a flaw if you explain what long term things she is giving up for her short term happiness.

ADDICTIVE - I would actually take a lot of what you say here about the downsides to her becoming addicted to things and move it to libertine/nix libertine entirely for it, and make another flaw about her chronic lack of accountability, which is much more interesting.


I hope this helps! heart

moved lucky and athletic down to a 'traits' section at the bottom.

New virtues
Energetic -- Shar is a cheerleader. She always seems to have a high level of energy- though that could be the Red Bull and Jaeger Bomb. She isn't always positive, but even while prophesying Doom and Destruction, she manages to pull off a chipper tone.

Assertive -- This virtue ties in with flaws. Quiet, Shay is not. She will be out there putting herself on the line and making her voice heard, right or wrong. She wants to get her opinions in. This translates most commonly to a confidence level that is almost over 9000. Some people may not like it, some people may. She doesn't want to step on the toes of the leadership, but she wants her two cents heard.

Flaws updated
ADDICTIVE REMOVED

The Libertine -- Shay doesn't particularly care about your morals. She has her own set of rules that she follows. If they coincide with yours, great; if they don't, she'll do what she wants anyway, unless you have a way to stop her or have a damn good point about the downsides. She has a major issue with prudes and snots. She'll do drugs, have sex, get in fights; she'll do anything that gets the good feelings flowing.
..... Shahar is easily addicted to anything that gives her those good feelings, and will be hard-pressed to refuse them. At the worst times, and in the worst company, she is very likely to slip up and make a d**k of herself.
..... This does make it hard to keep a friend, and all of her 'friends' are just acquaintances anyway. This has also made it very hard for her to 'advance' in her career of choice-- if they can't trust her to be responsible for herself, how can they trust her to be responsible for the items she could potentially be excavating and handling? Because of this she is seen as untrustworthy on many levels, even when she is trying to be responsible.

Not my fault-- Oh, she'll say she can resist her addictive traits, because for a few moments she might be able to. And every time she slips, she'll reason it out with herself, like an addict. Of course that fight wasn't her fault. They started it. Of course it is fine she tumbled out of a strangers bed at 2am. They started it. And of course it is fine that she got drunk and got herself arrested. The booze started it. Yes, she was late to class. The cartoons started it. It is NEVER Shar's fault. Because of this she is commonly viewed as inconsiderate and irresponsible.
