A simple exercise in creativity reflecting in your own tastes. Usually we get an idea of who and what we want our RP characters to be before we give them an image. In this exercises we’re doing the exact opposite.

Take a long careful look at your current Gaia avatar. Now create a character profile for your avi and what type of setting/world your character would be living in.

Just submit a tektek rendering of your current avatar or a pic of it via Photobucket along with this skeleton

If you do not want to use your current avatar or want something more of a challenge then go here and chose one of the two random dream avatars and follow the same instructions as above.

Now lets see how creative you duckies are.

Name:
Ex-Reverend Skaiano
Race: Human
Age: 23...hundred
Sex: Currently Male


Personality: Conveys a rather laid back persona in order to hide his actual jittery, nerve wrecked behavior. Additionally, all his ethical choices in life seem to be influenced by appetite.

Any physical traits not displayed thanks to the mold Gaia has for characters: Extremely apparent but frail veins, as if they were drained. However they all are seldom shown, constantly obstructed by layers of clothing.

History:
Once a member of the renown Sect of Mylvaena, servicing as an elite combat sentinel. However one day he (she at the time) was caught "sneaking a bite" from the divine meal offering to her holiness. Though what she stole was the ever slightest morsel it was enough to have her appropriated to exile. She was given a basket of other enchanted foods, drained of her mortality, then transformed into a male as insult to injury. Now unto him they spoke: "Mylvaena's arms no longer offer paradise to you. Instead she casts you away to forever walk this wretched land, or slip into oblivion." And so it was. In the basket lies his only sustenance, and the only thing keeping him from being eliminated from existence. From that day forth he, instead of giving in to the utter despair and humiliation, decided to set out on a personal pilgrimage to find the world's best picnic spot.

World/Setting: Post apocalypse, retaining elements of modern fantasy. The type of world where all society up to that point has been nearly forgotten due to apocalyptic events, leaving the remaining survivors to rebuild in an almost medieval fashion. However hat probably becomes irrelevant after 2300 years pass...

(The whole cross gender thing was really out of nowhere, and 'Mylvaena' was the easiest generic fantasy name I could iterate from my imagination. If that name is actually used somewhere I just hope it doesn't give this a 'derp' connotation. Also I felt like being lazy and just saved my avi and uploaded it to photobucket... *quack*.)

Name: Belladonna, formally Helena Finch
Race: Human/AA
Age: 30
Sex: Female
Personality: Slightly shy with poor communication skills Helena has a hard time expressing herself or speaking up. But once she's on her aerial ribbons and she's acting like Belladonna a beautiful strength and confidence shines through. Given that the aerial ribbons are her only strong suit that she is aware of she practices hard to prefect her skill giving her a slight superiority complex over them.

Any physical traits not displayed thanks to the mold Gaia has for characters: Very toned and slightly muscular thanks to her job.

History: Helena didn't suffer a bad childhood, her parents were kind and she wasn't picked on despite her apparent shyness but she just could not find her place and felt as if she was steadily fading until she actually began to fade and people began to forget about her, her mother would forget to set a plate for her and her teacher would mark her absent from school even thought she rose her hand during the roll-call.

Panicked Helena tried her best to stand out more, such as wearing a huge poka-dotted bow in her hair, or dinosaur slippers that roared each time she took a step, but the results were grim.

Following her family to the Primrose mechanical Circus Helena was mesmerized by the steampowered animals, the automaton clowns, and the other performers as well as the windup ringmaster Hercule Primrose. So enticed was she that when the ringmaster extended his hand to her she took it joining the circus that very night while her family left leaving her to fade from their memories.

The odd windup ringmaster, with his ever persistent smile, took Helena's name, granting her the moniker Belladonna then pointed her towards the red silks hanging from golden gears above the stage cementing her place in the circus and thus the world.

World/Setting:
A normal world with a few oddities such as the mysterious Primrose mechanical circus where automatons and humans work together to entertain and amaze with magical feats. Odd things tend to happen within the circus as well as in the town while they are visiting and only odd and unique people are allowed to join.
(Yeah the photobucket thing is easier and quicker. I'll allow it!)
