Welcome to Gaia! ::

For the Protection of Justice!


Name: Dai Llewellyn

Nickname: Tink. ... Don't ask. Just... don't ask.

Age: 16

Birthday: July 3rd

Sign: Cancer

Gemstone: Pearl

Blood Type: AB

Fav. Food: Chocolate, Gyros, Kebabs, Italian food, sweets, fruit

Hated Food: Most vegetables in their raw forms, stew, blood pudding (gross!)

School: Drop out

Hobbies:

Grand Theft … Canary? - You want the stuff? He can get you the stuff. You know, the goods. He moves property around. Yeah. For a good while, stealing was how Dai kept himself going, how he kept food on his plate. He’s come to rely upon it so much that it’s a hard habit to break. At sixteen, he’s looking to get an upright job working in a factory or a fast food restaurant or something, but he has sticky fingers. For one reason or another, little odds and ends seem to have a way of coming home with him.

An Audience of One - Dai likes to rock 80’s power ballads in the shower. He will never amount to anything as a singer, but damn does he have a good time when he thinks no one is listening. If Dai ever sat down in front of the TV when Glee was playing, it would be a match made in heaven... but given that his only access to a television involves a whole lot of cursing at a video player that chews up movies half the time, that is unlikely to happen. He would never, ever go near Karaoke, however.

I’ve Lost My Marbles- He has a rather nice collection of marbles that he won-- fair and square and don’t you say otherwise-- from some of the kids ‘round where he lives. Dai likes to play marbles competitively, and when he has an extra buck or two he’ll pick up more to add to his collection. It is probably his most treasured possession, and a beloved pastime all at once. You don’t need oodles of money to play marbles, after all, and it’s something he learned from his parents back when he had them.

Virtues:

Don’t stop believin’ -- Where Dai has put his faith, it is nigh unshakable. It is not easily won, but once given, Dai’s trust is owned. Consequently, friendships with Dai are based in mutual trust, and Dai is trustworthy. Well, where people are concerned. Shoplifting doesn’t really fall under this, does it? Yeah, he thought not. He is something of a follower, and prefers to act as a right hand man, or a wingman, and support his chosen leader to the bitter end. He often goes so far as believing too much good of the person in question, and will not listen to or accept any slandering of said person or people.

Cause he’s lovin’ -- Sometimes Dai can be a little too free with his affection. Not physical, perv. No, generally speaking the love that he is throwing around is emotional. Dai is all about emotions. Oh, so many emotions. All the time. Would you like some emotion with that? Dai wants to be your friend. Well. Once you’ve gotten past that initial complete lack of trust for people not within his inner circle bit. When you are safely within the friendship bracket, you are golden. He is there for you all the way, man. This is doubly true for his closest friends. Those who have genuinely earned Dai’s trust and affection will find themselves being given first, second, and third chances (etc, etc), and near boundless attention. Oh s**t, you fed it now it’s going to follow you home.

Any way you want it -- Dai wants to be a help. This means that when people he respects ask something of him, he will bend over backwards in an effort to please them. He will jump through hoops. He will jump off cliff-- well, no, okay, he won’t go that far. Despite being a fairly observant person, he has a peculiar blind spot where this is concerned, and will just follow whatever orders he is given. Generosity plays a part here, but the starring role in this little play is the need to please. When the people he loves are happy, he is happy. When they are pleased, he is pleased. And he wants so badly to impress them.

Faces, numbers, I recognize -- Dai is not book smart, really, but he is street smart. Everybody has intuition, everybody has hunches. Dai just acts on them more often than not. That said, his kind of intuition deals with the sort of people and situations that he is used to. He is used to people who are selfish, who look out for number one, people who live by “the rules” (ie: survival, etc). He does not tend to recognize or pick up on signals from people who are not part of his world, part of the group to which he belongs. Or, when he does pick up on them, they don’t follow the logic he’s used to, so he tends to ignore them. When he is outside of a “safe” environment, he is more liable to misinterpret things in a negative light, and when he is within a “safe” environment, he is more prone to overlooking the negative.

Dai cannot read your mind. Stop asking.

Flaws:

Some were born to sing the blues -- It is the end of the world. … No? Are you sure? Dai is pretty sure it is. It’s like a never ending excess of emotion, all the time. Positive or negative, Dai feels very strongly, and much of this feeling manifests as brooding. He tends to run right past all the positives, and go straight for the negatives. Oh god what if so and so hates him? Doesn’t matter. Dai is going to angst about it anyway. He is constantly waiting for the next shoe to drop, for the axe to fall. He is overly sensitive, and he just can’t let anything go. Ever.

So hold tight, hold tight -- It’s like he has separation anxiety. He does not want to be far from his friends or his home turf. The closer the friend, the more likely he is to cling like a barnacle. He is desperately uncomfortable being alone, and will avoid it whenever possible, up to the point of putting himself in danger blindly because someone he loves has done the same. That person might well be prepared for the situation, but Dai isn’t. He doesn’t care. He doesn’t want to be alone, and damnit, he doesn’t have to be. His love can be a bit suffocating because he goes over the top with almost everything that he does to show it. This is because he is very afraid of losing friendships, to the point where he might well be driving those very friends away. The harder they push, the harder he’ll cling.

Don’t know where I’ll be tomorrow -- That said, Dai kind of expects to have to cut the ties he’s made. He expects this because he has had to do so, time and again in the past. He’s waiting for the end, and he loathes it. He doesn’t want this, whatever it is, to end. However, through his own behavior he is bringing about that very end, and he doesn’t recognize it. He’s falling into the same old patterns as a result of his fatalistic nature, and in many ways it is a self fulfilling prophesy. Dai expects that good things will come to an end, sooner rather than later, and with the way he acts, chances are he’ll prove himself right. He loves constants, but doesn’t really know how to handle them. After all, won’t they just vanish on him like everything else does?

Who’s cryin’ now -- You, that’s who. Because Dai made you cry. That is his goal, when he has been crossed. Revenge. Vengeance is Dai’s. You know the saying, don’t get mad, get even? Well, Dai apparently never heard it. When he’s on the warpath, everything he does is emotionally charged, with never a thought of serving up that dish cold. He is capable of a level of vindictiveness that is out of proportion to the “crime” originally committed. That does hand in hand with his tendency to exaggerate (to himself, and in general) the ways in which he has been “wronged”. As far as he is concerned, justice is being served, even if he has to go overboard to do it. As a result of his touchiness, that often could not be farther from the truth.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Eyes: Violet. Eye... shaped?

Hair: His hair is the kind of pale/medium pink that you might see in a sunset, with a single streak of black in his bangs. It’s long, very long, somewhere between curly and wavy. He has long bangs that frame his face and nearly touch his shoulders at their longest. … I’m not sure how entirely to describe it, so I sketched a really bad reference.

Face: He’s pale with an oval face and a pointed chin, and a few freckles.

Clothes: Probably jeans and a t-shirt. Nothing complicated. The shirt is likely to be overly large.

Knight Title: Ishtar Page

Challenge: Your passion is my strength!

Uniform:

Top -- 18th century Rococo style coat with waistcoat beneath. Sunset colors, booyah! A more orangeish rather than yellowish gold for Venus, too. Possibly the waistcoat in gold? Probably best left up to the colorist’s discretion.

Page
Venetian mask, simple. It is a mask. It has no powers, yay.

Ref: http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/miss_cherie/Mask1.jpg

Squire
Venetian mask, slightly more complex. At Squire, the mask can amplify the passions, both positive and negative, that an enemy feels toward his or her teammates. When Ishtar uses the mask, he increases the bonds inherent between the targeted enemy and those in his/her group to the point where they interfere with his/her attacks-- depending on whether those bonds are positive or negative, he or she may feel inclined to change from an attacking stance to a defensive stance over that comrade, or may insight a fight between that enemy and his/her teammate. Their response is directly in proportion to their initial feeling toward the person or people in question. For example, if someone was annoyed at a teammate because they left the toilet seat up, it would probably (almost definitely!) not make them as mad as if, say, that person had slept with their girlfriend.

Knight
Venetian mask, still more complex. As with the Squire’s abilities, Ishtar’s mask will increase the passions of his enemies. However, at its heightened stage it can amplify and increase the bonds (positive and negative) that exist within the entire group that is present, provided that that group consist of no more than four people. With every use of the power, one quarter of his total energy would be expended. In order to hold the ability on a group of four, he would have to use all of his energy. He can limit the number of people targeted in order to increase the amplification, but only to the extent that his energy will allow. For instance, with two people he could have twice the debuff that he would use on four, and so on. Ideally, Ishtar would not want to use the full extent of his ability, so as not to expend all of his energy. That is something that would be reserved for dire straits.

For Squire & Knight
Theoretically, Ishtar can maintain the mask’s abilities for a full three minutes, but in practice the mask’s effects last closer to one minute typically, due to energy exertion and etc. The mask’s abilities are dependent upon their target, and when the magic is broken it is broken. In order to use his abilities at their full effectiveness, Ishtar cannot target the same person twice within the course of a battle. The person in question would register to the mask as being emotionally drained, regardless of their actual emotional capacity. He can use his power until he has no energy.

I will edit this post with the official price of the customs after I've looked over your forms to check for complexity levels and any requested body edits to see if there are any additional charges. If you would like to purchase all three stages at once, PM me. If not, I will assume you only desire the one stage. Also, if your character is A, a school kid and B, not already in existence, assume you will also be getting school-kid art.

I will have sketch-WIPS sent out by the end of the weekend at the latest.
