About Rook


User Image

Name: Rook
Species: Alterer.
Age: baby

Likes:
Structure, drums, water,fruit.
Dislikes: Chaos, really bright light, restrictive clothing, bugs.

Personality:

Rook is a very meticulous child, he thrives on order and believes every object has a proper place and every action should have a proper reason. This makes him fairly reliable if a bit boring and predictable according to his siblings.

In the negative aspect however he can become agitated and obsessive about fixing things that are out of order ie. Reordering his room if things get moved while being cleaned, making certain the food on his plate is arranged in certain ways that make sense to him or even something not personal like the buttons on a partially done up jacket on a classmate. Destruction of Rook's shedule and sense of order are a good way to destabilize the boy.

Whether his strong focus on an ordered life becomes a relief or a burden to him remains to be seen..


Rook is friendly with others and often seeks company although he takes particular dislike to those who break rules or are chaotic in nature as he finds them hard to understand and deal with. Still, those whom he befriends he shows great care and loyalty for. When others look to him for help of any sort he is usually willing and can unknowingly be quite the enabler to those who know how to take advantage of it.

Due to his amphibious nature Rook is happiest when he is at a beach or other area where there is ample amounts of water and land connected. It is important for him to moisten his skin every few hours and he can become irritable if he gets too dry.



Abilities:
* Change: Due to the nature of his kind Rook brings change wherever he goes . People around him become affected by changes in mood, personality, strength, opinions and in some cases even fortune. This ability is innate and currently uncontrollable. The degree to which a person experiences change depends on the amount of time spent with Rook and other factors as of yet unknown. Some changes take weeks to manifest and some that do manifest only last a short while. ( Anyone rping with Rook can negate this by simply choosing not to attribute any change to their child in his presence or afterwards. He doesn't know it's supposed to happen and I'm not forcing anything on anyone)

* magical transformation: The fire opals embedded in his body allow Rook to alter objects or people previously that are magical in nature. The degree of alteration depends on many factors.( inactive)

About Carol


Name:
Carol Conners
Species: Human/Gaian
Age: 32
Occupation: Convenience store owner
Personality:
Carol is a 32 year old woman who owns a convenience store. She's a bit eccentric and as the security tapes will prove she has a habit of singing and dancing to the radio when there are no customers about. Although her job takes up a lot of time the store is attached to her house and so Carol has no problem working long hours or coming in to cover for her employees. Her free time at work when not spent singing is used to draft novels she hopes to one day publish. Although theses days she does much less writing and much more parenting, since she has chosen to keep Bishop out of pre-school until the spring preferring to teach and nurture the quiet girl herself.

As expected of someone in the retail business Carol is a people person and loves to talk. Both at work and when socializing in general she's a bit of a chatty Cathy. She doesn't require the spot light all the time Though she'll enjoy it if given the opportunity.

Background:
TBA

Plots


Here you will find information on the direction I am going with Rook. Basic things like playdate plans or minor personal events will be easy to see.

Major plans will be quoted and posted in tiny font .


Quote:
Rook's species are known as alterers, with their innate ability they change aspects of the people around them as well as situations said people are in. ( They can never use this ability for themselves)

Most of the species is in slavery, forced through magical bonding to work for a specific family or the heir to them in order to help families keep away bad luck or change undesirable traits in others they surrounded themselves with. With time their kind can will a certain type of change over others, there is no guarantee it will happen but it is more likely as they gain power.

Long lived as magical beings Alterers are set free from their obligations when a lines dies out ( this counts if the last member of a family is female and marries into a new family but not if she merely takes a lover and conceives a child.) At this point the Alterer is free to return to their home region, marry and reproduce. ( No alterer child has ever been born to bound parents)

Children are raised for a short time with their parents until they display magical talents at which time an oracle will reveal the family they are destined for.

*Alterers are treated well for the most part as they can wish ill luck or health upon their families if they want to

* There was a reason for the bonding and it was positive for both sides. Not fully symbiotic but mutually beneficial.

*Being born not to an actual family but out of a cabbage the shackle and chain symbolize that Rook is still magically tied to a family/person he just doesn't know who . His abilities will always work best for them though
