HA. Pretend there is a fancy banner, and equally clever graphics. o:

USARI
current idea:





Name: Allohra
Family: Djardi
Gender: Female
Stage: Journeyman
Seller of: Letheian Essences. Refers to the River Lethe, whose waters are said to induce amnesia. Potions that allow the consumer to forget people, places, or incidents. Formed by Allohra out of desperation to relieve herself of the pain of being seperated from her true love, the concoction causes the consumer to breathe out a visible cloud of vapor containing the unwanted memory. In order to prevent re-entry, the vapor can be trapped and bottled. Allohra keeps a collection of memories in her possession, in case the user changes their mind.
Eyes: Green
Horns: Curved behind ears, with gold plating around the base and tip.
Hairstyle: Short and slightly curly. Strawberry blonde or reddish pink.
Personality: Bold but effeminate, Allohra finds herself more comfortable in the company of fellow female Usari. She finds males to be a bit boorish, the Ba'al and Pivito especially, and generally avoids their part of the caravan. Always more interested in the softer arts, she was expected to follow in her parents footsteps and be apprenticed into the Aishe family, but her penchant for botany and her desire to help others set her apart from her family. Despite her bluntness, she's secretly unsure of herself, and being kind and considerate is more of a need than a gesture, as a form of self-validation.
Position/Expression: Considering, mysterious or slightly suggestive, her stance and behavior invokes her Aishe heritage, but also suggests a hint of sadness and past regrets.
Outfit: Asymetrical dress with a petal-like ruff collar. Color and patterns artist's choice. One half sleeveless and one half draped sleeve.
Items?: Crystal decanter filled with a dark, slightly smoking liquid. Perhaps a skull with a flower sticking from it in the background.
Etc: Allorha's potion was formed by taking a mere drop of liquid diluted from the dark waters of Lethe itself in combination with items associated with the person/event the customer wishes to forget. Her business is fairly confidential and her clientelle mostly consists of young Usari like herself that are discontent with Baba's choice for their engagements, or those who have fallen for someone outside their station.
Allohra's own personal experience is something she keeps close to heart. After a few brief, and ultimately, failed romances with males around the Aishe camp, she unwittingly found herself falling for her closest friend. She knew chances were low that her feelings would be reciprocated, as Allohra herself was unsure of how to feel about it, but before she could reveal herself the young female excitedly announced her impending marriage set up by Baba that would place her far higher up the caravan's foodchain. Allohra's shame was only matched by her desire to see her friend happy.

Random Blah ideas:

Family: Veduni
Trade: Futures Purveyor
Name: Octo Allundi
Desc: Young and willful. Difficulty finding master as the art of fortune telling is more popular amoung the Lunari, who have no taste for her dark twist the the craft. Collects past memories for payment. Predicts the future (fairly short term) and can nudge it slightly in a different direction if she sees fit.

Family: Djardi
Trade: Forgetfulness
Name: Allohra Vyme
notes!
-parents aishe, explains flamboyant looks and dress
-accepted into djardi for proficiency with plants
-forget-me-nots

fuufuufuu



Main idea currently lololol:

Family: Pitivo
Name: Evran Ore
Gender: Male

Trade: Keysmith. Designs keys for both physical, symbolic, emotional, existential, imaginary, or any other kind of object or need. Also a fairly capable locksmith but would recommend a specialist for the more extraordinary kind of locks. Naturally, keys are made in every shape, size, and from nearly any material. Keeps a blueprint copy of every key he's made in a leatherbound tome. Specializes in decorative as well as functional. Keeps extra keys on hand in case 'destiny calls'. Trades with Veduni for rarer or less scrupulous materials when the job calls for it.

Appearance: Slight build. Better with smaller metalworking and therefore more lean than some of his other Pitivo brethren. Middling in age. Carries a chain of gold keys of various shapes and sizes around his waist, hooked on his belt. Usually wears a bright, elaborately detailed vest with flared trousers that cut off at the knee. Wide, uncloven hooves for feet. Wears a monocle when working, as well as a bracer on his left forearm (with straps and pockets for holding tools, solder, and extra material), and a glove on his right hand.

Personality: Patient, exacting, and somewhat aloof. Tendency to be rude. Doesn't like being interrupted. Meticulous. Thinks of himself as fairly kind but straightforward. Often seems unapproachable. Avoids inter-family conflicts whenever possible. Considers completion of a job above moral scruples- every key that needs be made, must be made, no matter how sinister it's purpose. REWORKING LOLZ

thanks! That was totally my inspiration too xD <3 esp. since the event usari are gonna be soulmated.

I was thinking more along the lines that he got married off by Baba and she couldn't stand seeing him with someone else- was gonna elaborate in my prompt response. I'm glad you like it! <3

*goes to read yours*

1) Awesome trade concept. Might want to check with Natsu if she can get waters from Lethe itself, since it is a mythical place and what-not.
2) Personality, I wanna know so I can possibly crit that too for you xd ;;; ...I see you partially included a hint of personality in "etc." ...but I want to know more xp
