Name: Nicole Bedlam

Nicknames: Nikki, and Goldmoon128 (don't ask..)

Gender: female

Age: 16

Birthday: November 27th

Sign: sagittarius

Gemstone: pink topaz

School: Meadowview

Fav. Food: anything that takes less than 3 minutes to cook. No, seriously. If it's frozen, 'just add water' or 'open and eat' she loves it. Also... Energy Drinks. Lots of energy drinks

Hated Food: water and anything that smells 'fresh'. Her tastebuds have adapted to the sweet aroma of plastic.

Hobbies:

If it can be googled... I've downloaded it: Nicole is what some might think of as.... a recluse, a shut-in; an internet sensation? She spends all her time on the computer, gaming, chatting, hacking drawing. So much so that she carries one of those mini-computer phones with her that she uses to surf the web during class. Because she doesn't need sleep, she needs to complete the daily quests for all six of her online avatars, and she has to be kept informed of all the latest developements on her favourite forum and she has to--- so maybe this is more of an obsession, than a hobby. Perhaps she would go into withdrawal without the internet... perhaps her head would literally explode. No one knows...

If it can be theorized... I'll experiment on it: Her only real moment of shinning glory for Nicole is when she steps into a science lab and every human in the room gravitates toward her. Nicole is good with science, chemistry, and physics. She always scores top of the class and tends to explain things in an easy to understand manner. Science geeks might be wedgied in the play-ground, but in the lab, she is Queen. Roar.

Huh... that's just a little doodle I did in seventeen hours: Nicole is a decent artist, although getting her to say that is half the fun. Her doodles are impressive digital masterpieces, and she has like a thousand watches on her account; but she doesn't do requests from the internet because Nicole 'doodles she doesn't draw, and thinks her work isn't really all that fabulous, and people just flatter her because they're nice. No, Nikki, no....

Virtues:

OVER NINE-THOUSAND: Intelligence, that is. Nicole is a smart little cookie, even if she doesn't think so. Give her a problem and she will compute a solution, give you a thorough analysis and probably... solve it. She can do logic puzzles in the time it takes most people to eat a snickers bar and she is a little lot like one of those walking-encyclopedias. you know the type. She stores information in her head that seems almost pointless; yet sometimes knowing five ways to perform CPR will come in handy. Really.

If someone is standing between me and what I want, the solution is simply to walk up and stab that person until they are no longer in the way; well maybe she wouldn't stab you, but Nicole is practical. If she wants the new FF13 and has no money, she will go about getting the money. If the cruel upperclassman threw her phone in the rubbish, Nicole will dive in to get it. Sometimes you have to get your hands dirty, you can't just sit on the respawn point all day and wonder why no one is spawning there... sometimes you have to walk to the castle of Ahhhghhh and face the rabbit of death.

Giving is love; Nicole is a generous soul, which probably makes it so much worse when she is taken advantage of. She will share her sandwich with you, she'll hack into the school computers and get your test results early so you don't have to worry. She'll take your pet to the vet's or buy you those earrings as a present. Because she cares. And if you ask her, she'll do whatever she can to help. Her limits are essentially whatever she has on her at that time, or can get within a week. She wouldn't buy you a car, or do your semester assignment; but some homework, or a virgin sacrifice that you must have right this second... uh, sure?

Flaws:


Hoity-toity; Nicole has trouble staying on track sometimes. She tends to be given to flights of fancy; capricious; frivolous. Prone to giddy behavior, flighty. She has trouble saving up her allowance for something really big because she wants all these small things. And because she is a practical person, she won't hold herself back from doing something unless she really wants to. Her computer is a clutter of programs, and she starts a lot of different tasks at any given time. This gives her a tendency to overload on things. And fizzle out. She finishes things to about half-way points and then tends to move on. She's the sort of person who will finish a final fantasy game, but not get that 100% mark on all the unlockable content....


Naive, Guilable? Who, me? Head in the clouds ;
Nicole's other main flaw is her lack of ability to separate fantasy from reality. She really can't take the trash out because she's fighting orcs in her latest game-- no, she couldn't /possibly/ pause it! She's 16, and still believes in any and all sorts of fanciful magic like the easter bunny, christmas and romeo and juliet etc. Half her life is a daydream, and she completely refuses to see the harsher realities in front of her. A pity, because soon, reality may take advantage of her nativity. She will believe that you are her friend, because you told her so. This leaves her open to betrayal and hurt a lot. She's naive, however, not stupid. The same trick won't work on her more than once or twice.

Idealist; Nicole is always looking for something bigger and better, she has an under-realistic belief of what things should be and what they are. Because of this, she is usually let down by reality not measuring up to her dreams. This can and often will take the form of meeting someone she's heard all about only to be disenchanted with them, as as a result of her capricious nature, forgetting she ever really cared much about them. She has fantasies that seem destined to just disappoint her. While she might be an imaginative creature, this means that reality will eventually ruin her wings if she can't learn to fly.

Physical Description:


Body: While she tries to hide it, Nicole is well built and tends to wear jumpers even in summer because she has... le'gasp, a bust. It is useful for catching cheezels, not so much for bra-shopping because that takes time and effort away from the computer~!

Eyes: Usually covered with coke-bottle thick glasses, she has deep, royal purple eyes. They are quite pretty without her glasses (and the squinting that follows the lack of eye-wear)

Hair: Long deep mauve/purple hair that has a natural bounce and curl to the ends. Since she uses her bangs are shields to stop people from peering at her, or her from being seen glancing at others from over her glasses... she doesn't tie it back.

Face: Nicole has a timid, cute look to her, smiling bashfully when she does smile. Probably a love-heart shape to her.

Fashion: Long sleeves, pants, and nondescript hats.

ZEUS, GOD OF THUNDER, REIGN DOWN A MIGHTY RECKONING UPON THE UNWARY!


Senshi: Sailor Zeus, senshi of Thunder.

Challenge: Thunder and Lightning, very, very frightening...

Virtues:


It shall be done; if the princess said "I need a toaster, three live hamsters and a ribbon tied into a hexagon-like shape. No Questions asked." Zeus would find a way to do it (probably without killing the hamsters) because she is smart AND capable. It's the last part she might have a problem with (see: flaws, has to know F***ing everything) Zeus likes to finish what she started, seeing projects through to their completion in a timely and correct fashion. She is very serious about following through on her promises and doing her best to finish things. This makes Zeus a good combination for Nikki as they both look to finish what they start, Zeus being more thorough than her vessel.

White and Nerdy; yeah, Zeus thinks that being able to type in numbers and a few digits, hang out in chatrooms that are 'hack-in only' and send you endless viagra spam is cool. Yes, she does. And its so cool, you should love it too. She makes nerdiness fun! And she showers regularly thank you VERY much. Zeus likes to make whatever she is doing at the time seem like the coolest thing that anyone could be doing. It is awkward sometimes when she rants about making a new character for the Blast Edge computer game on hard mode with +10 attack power. Because isn't that soooo awesome? Zeus likes everyone to be involved and on the same page.

Honest and true, I'll beeeee; Zeus believes in integrity, forthcoming and that love will conquer all. So even if you don't want to know what happened; if you ask... she'll probably tell you the truth. because better to hear it from her, than someone else... who might *heaven forbid!* sugar-coat it. Zeus doesn't get a lot of subtle hints from others, and she doesn't recognize her own manipulative behaviors when she does them either. She's a bit ditzy, but she means well. She is true to herself as much as anyone can be to their own morals.


Flaws:


Has to know f****ing everything; Zeus needs a reason. She really, really does. It doesn't have to be a big long philosophy, but she needs the reason or she won't compute. You can't just say "go there and do this" you need to say "go there and do this BECAUSE..." or Zeus will still be standing there, frowning and calling out questions. She has many, many questions that you must answer... she might still do this thing for you, but mystery and secrecy are not her 'thing'. Zeus doesn't like lying and backstabbing and hiding in dark corners. She thinks a lot of issues just fester and become blackened sores this way. She wants to know why people act the way they do, she won't work for someone who only tells her half-truths and whose motives are hard to guess. She's afraid of betrayal, and refuses to take the risks.

Martyr: Zeus likes people to know that she sacrifices for them. Oh, how she labors and sweats over her tasks. She will give herself to a task, and be totally done-in by it, and you had better know that she was/did! While she might not do this totally conscientiously all the time, she definitely does go a little overboard with how much time and effort she puts in to some small task so that others may stare in awe and then tell her that it was all wasted. Her personality and Nicole's are quite well suited in this regard as while Zeus might have more confidence and be able to meet people's eyes when they speak, they both looove being a victim.

BURN IT ALL DOWN!; Zeus is a little overzealous when it comes to... uh... anything. She gives things her all, she goes above and beyond the demand and she would probably burn a forest down to catch a bandit if need be. Not that Zeus approves of such actions, but if she has to, she'd bear the awful burden of it. She justifies actions for the greater good and in Selene's name a lot of the time, but the truth is, give her a penny and point her in the right direction, something will get done. This means that she comes on too strong sometimes, like her parallel, she is able to act on her own. This means phone calls at three AM regarding what Selene wants done with the thirty-thousand dollar account that Zeus hacked because Selene needed some quick cash--- wait, what do you mean I didn't need to go that far?---


Attacks:


Just an idea...
Attack 1: Lancing-bolt; (offensive) Zeus' attack is the sound of thunder. A crackling explosion that deafens any who are in its path. With a clap, she launches a thin, piercing sound wave at her enemies. This attack is sonic, and repeated hits will actually damage something. It also isn't the sort of attack you'd use if you were... maybe... trying to be sneaky?

Fuku


Hmm, other than pale, pastel yellow for the main I was thinking neon-orange for the secondary color..

And the sleeves a little like these. if possible, would be cool.

WHY?


Why Zeus and Nikki?
Nikki is a bit of a timid person, someone who hasn't learned to stand on her own yet. With Zeus' help, she might step out of her own shadows and into a shinning bright future. Or lock herself in a room with stale oreos and flat diet coke while playing something on the computer....

Why the dichotomy? Well there is a little opposition between Zeus and her white parallel. Jupiter was sporty and physically strong, enjoying household tasks. Zeus is mentally strong, able to outwit her counterpart any day (just ask her) but they are still alike in some ways. Trusting, loyal and fun-loving. I think a true dichotomy should have many similiarities, but also be able to stand apart as 'different' Zeus is smart the same way that Jupiter was strong (physically) in this, they are very similiar. But they are two different people, Zeus comes from a different reality, where everything is changed.

Let me start with this.

In my mind what I'm reading here, unfortunately to me sounds like Amy "Smart" and Usagi "clumsy". The only tie to Zeus I see is the nerdy-ness and birthday (aka it's close to Jup's).

Remember, these are Parallels to the Cannon senshi. In that essence, they can have inspiration from their Cannon counter parts. As Shaz said last night when everyone was asking her questions. Granted you don't have to make them just like that, I just don't see Zeus being extremely nerdy or clumsy. I like that she contradicts Jupiter's love to cook though for things that take 3 minutes in the microwave.

I think what you have here is a very good start. The only thing I'd suggest is trying to give them things that they can interact on, and have in common. Having two minds in one body it's important they do get along. The Shut in and Recluse is also something that's a good grounding.

I just think that you need to pick either the nerdy side or the clumsy side and find something to replace the other. I'm not saying either of these are bad, just the two together, especially the smart bit with the pity me and giving nature seems to be a bit much.

I don't think being Opposite of the cannon senshi is bad, just you're almost TOO opposite if that makes sense?

I hope I did help and not just confuse you. If I did confuse though maybe I could clear it up over aim if you wanted. I sometimes explain things better there.
