Jewellery-making - It started first as a fascination with beads... One of Arian's lasting memories is of the strings of beads worn by Nain. There wasn't any sort of design to them - most of them seemed more like a jumble of wooden, silver and crystal beads inter-mixed with the odd bits of feathers as well as acorns and small pine cones that she had threaded herself. Nain never seemed to mind when Arian played with them and always seemed to have a story about where she'd found each component.

Arian's attempts at jewellery making didn't really start until the age of 14 however. At first this was pretty much stringing together some beads on a piece of string in the secrecy of his room - ironically mirroring the jumble of beads that his Nain was always wearing. Later, as he started to experiment more his pieces started to improve – instead of being little more than some beads stuck on a piece of string they actually started to look pretty.

After self-teaching himself some wire-wrapping techniques from a mixture of working through basic tutorials available online and the odd book hired out furtively from the library; Arian’s pieces started to gain more of an elegant feel to them. Now, after almost 3 years, he's pretty good at it – or at least the customers that buy from the online shop (that he runs with his cousin) seem to think so.

Arian prefers to work with silver (usually sterling), crystal and wooden beads. As he hates working with what he deems 'artificial' materials however plastic is most certainly out.

Despite experimenting with other materials outside of silver, crystal and wood (for example he also quite likes working with gemstones) those three materials have remained his first love and a lot of his designs usually have at least two out of the three in them. He prefers making feminine jewellery over masculine jewellery, finding masculine jewellery a little too chunky and 'clunky' for his tastes.

Friends of Arian may occasionally be gifted with a handcrafted charm, although he'd try to make out that it was just a design he'd been experimenting with.

Though he'd probably deny it if it was pointed out to him part of his love of making jewellery is because it reminds him of happy times with his beloved Nain.


Window shopping - ...Well okay, specific window-shopping. Looking at display windows of clothes and shoes does nothing for Arian and looking at sports gear bores him.

Arian likes to go window shopping for the following things primarily:
- Jewellery
- Things that could potentially be made into jewellery
- Cupcake displays - especially displays of mini cupcakes Cupcake window shopping = guilty pleasure - Guys aren't supposed to like stuff like that

Arian's love of window shopping mostly feeds into his jewellery-making hobby, as looking at displays of jewellery in order to get ideas for his own jewellery designs is one of his favourite things to do.

This doesn't mean that Arian will simply wander down to the most exclusive jewellery store in town and just admire displays dripping with diamonds and sapphires; he can be just as inspired from looking at jewellery on display in those odd little craft-type and fair trade shops, or admiring crystal beads at the charity shop.


Despite the fact that crafting jewellery is Arian's major hobby and he spends a great deal of time on it Arian does have some other hobbies. This leads to:

Reading - Arian loves curling up with a book and spending an hour or so immersed in a good story. As neither Arian nor his cousin have a lot in the way of space, Arian tends to go to the local library to read.

Arian thinks that libraries are great since he can indulge in a good read and doesn't have to worry about books permanently cluttering up his space at home (which is mainly devoted to his jewellery-making supplies).

While at the library, Arian often checks out the odd book of things to do with jewellery. Anything that catches his interest is usually photo-copied so he can take it home and experiment with it – a recent example being his attempts at making his own beads from polymer clay after stumbling across a library book on the basics. (Okay so he's not that good at actually making his own beads just yet... But give him time - he'll get there!)

Arian also likes reading fantasy stories (he actually prefers fantasy over other genres of books), as he enjoys escaping for a stolen hour or so into the world of the storyteller. When reading about adventures in made up worlds he uses the time to avoid dwelling on things happening in his everyday life – these can be small things such as trying to keep his grades up at school (he’s an average student) – or larger issues such as the mess that’s his family life. He likes stories with happy endings – there’s enough unhappy endings in real life without having to read it in fiction.

It is for that reason that he also hates reading stories based on true life events. Those sort of stories happen in the real world and if he wanted to know about what's happening in real life – well that's what watching the news or reading a newspaper is for.

Reading for Arian in a way tends to be more of a temporary escape from the outside world than anything else.


Running - Arian took up running as a way of trying to please his grandparents (his grandfather in particular). After all running is a 'manly' sport is it not?

Somewhere along the line Arian realised that he actually liked running - not competitively or anything - but because when he's out running he can let his thoughts drift.

Arian finds that running is a great distraction when you want to get away from things for a little bit since while he's running he doesn't have to think about little things such as keeping his grades decent at school.

It's also a good way of getting himself out of a funk (unless he's really miserable) and hey - if he runs in the park - then at least he can admire the greenery.


Gemstone: Amethyst


Virtues

'I don’t expect you to be perfect because nobody’s perfect' – Arian tends to see things in shades of grey when it comes to people’s abilities. He won’t stick you up on a pedestal or idolise you or get angry at you for making mistakes... Because guess what we’re all just human. This makes Arian a pretty easy person to be around as he will neither expect nor demand total perfection from you.

When involved in team work Arian is the sort of person who is pretty good at working out the team’s capabilities (his own included) as he doesn’t have any unrealistic expectations of what the team can achieve.

This attitude has its roots in the seven or so years that Arian spent living with his grandparents which has had a large impact on him. During the period of time with his grandparents, Arian spent a long time trying to live up to their expectations of the perfect grandson - and failed miserably - there were several reasons for this - from his looks, to the fact that he wasn't into the sort of 'manly pursuits' that his grandfather thought that a boy his age ought to be.

The long and short of it is that having experienced the hurt first-hand of trying to reach some sort if impossible pedestal, somewhere down the line Arian turned into someone who refuses to inflict that sort of hurt on anyone else.


'I'll keep your secrets' - If you tell Arian something in confidence it will remain in confidence.

Arian is so very, very careful of the secrets of others because of the fact that he feels that he’s living a pretty big secret himself - in the form of the fact that the name he's using is not his name.

It's kind of sad that currently out of the six people who know that Anthony is not his real name, two are dead, one doesn't seem to care less about him, two hate his name and he hasn't seen the last since around the age of 10.

There is another reason why he’s so careful of other people’s secrets and that’s because deep down he likes the fact that people trust him enough to share their confidences with him. He’s unlikely to admit to this second reason – however it seems to have meant enough to him to ensure that he's kept all the secrets that's been shared with him to himself.


I wonder what I’ll get if I try combining this technique with those materials’ (Creative) - Arian is good at taking a few basic things and combining them to make something new. He loves coming up with designs that are different and unusual and is happy to experiment with different styles when making his jewellery.

An example of this is when he made some earrings out some sealant-stiffened washi paper folded into small cranes and combined them with tiny Swarovski crystal beads in colours chosen to compliment the patterning on the paper, or that time when he came across some small delicate-looking oval metal loops in the local hardware store and used a fine metal chain to dangle a crystal-shaped heart in them.

On the occasions that Arian is out window-shopping, it is not unusual for him to have a small notepad and pencil with him to sketch out ideas and/ or jot down colour combinations to try out later and he's quite good with coming up with ideas to try. He is also totally the type of person who doodles little sketch designs in the margin of his exercise book when he's bored in class. He usually does it in maths class as maths isn't exactly his strong point.

Outside of the jewellery making Arian likes experimenting with things to find out their limits (he likes doing chemistry experiments because of this – although he’s not as keen on doing the homework aspect).

His creativity however, is mostly employed in the design of his jewellery as that is perhaps his biggest passion.


I’ll stand by those important to me as best I can’ (Supportive) – It may be surprising to those who don’t know him, but Arian can actually be quite supportive in his own way to those he considers important to him. It’s not support in an ‘I will take the fall for you’ type of way, nor is it support in an ‘I will agree with you no matter what’ type of way. Rather it’s more of an ‘I will support you to the best of my ability and try to be there for you’.

If you are important to Arian, then although he won’t make a big deal about it, he will stand by you as best he can. This can mean anything from him waiting after school for a friend, to following them into situations that he thinks are dangerous and would be unlikely to venture into on his own – because he doesn’t want them going alone.

It is important to note that Arian’s support is to the best of his ability, but as he is also very unreliable it can work out quite limited. If he’s around, great, two sets of hands can certainly be better than one and he won’t ever consciously leave someone in the lurch. The problem starts when say he’s promised to be somewhere on a certain day – but ends up turning up late because he’s got caught up in something else. Or the cases when he’s missed a phone call asking for his help with something because he was in the middle of doing something ‘interesting’.


Flaws

'Was I supposed to meet you at 5 today?' (Unreliable) - Be it a new piece of jewellery that he's putting the finishing touches to, or a fantasy story that is extremely gripping, Arian can get so caught up in the thing at hand that it completely slips his mind that he's probably supposed to be somewhere else right now.

Saffy can attest to this - considering that she knocks him up every morning on a school day and pretty much bundles him out of the door to make sure he gets to school on time.

If Arian says he he'll meet you at five, then he could turn up ten minutes past, or half past five or even six. There has been occasions where he hasn't turned up at all.

This could cause problems if you need to get hold of him urgently for some reason or another, as, when caught up in something that interests him Arian is very effective at filtering out the outside world. This could lead to him easily managing to miss phone calls – unless you’re prepared to try calling multiple times on the off-chance that phone ringing eventually penetrates – he’ll swear blind that he never got your call. In cases where he does manage to answer the phone, you’ll probably get told that he’ll be there in around ten minutes or so. Although whether he turns up in ten minutes is another story altogether.

It's not that he means to stand you up and he's always apologetic if called out on it. Fortunately he’s been lucky in that so far his unreliability has not led to someone important to him getting hurt. If it ever did, then Arian would feel gutted and it would feed into his guilt complex. Depending on how badly they were hurt it could even potentially feed into the more severe end of his guilt complex.

The usual solution to Arian’s unreliability is pretty much corner him and 'drag' him along. This is probably very frustrating.


'I’ll keep your secrets, but don’t expect me to share mine' (Trust issues) - Despite coming across as friendly enough in a kind of polite way - that's pretty much all that most people will get out of Arian. He will smile at you and say good morning in class and work on class projects cheerfully enough... But he won't really talk about himself, or his interests or the fact that he's the creative side of Creations in Silver and although he'll keep your secrets. Heaven forbid that he actually shares any of his own with you.

Despite having some pretty serious trust issues it’s not impossible to get underneath the surface of friendly politeness that Arian hides behind in day to day life. This does not for moment mean however that he will make it particularly easy for you either. Arian’s the sort of person who tends to second guess other peoples' motives, looking for the hidden meaning behind their behaviour (even if none actually exists). It also means that he has a hard time reaching out to other people outside of a purely superficial context.

This behaviour seems to have had its roots in the period around the deaths of his mother and sister, after his father pretty much abandoned him by dumping him on the parental grandparents. Having said parental grandparents go on to later wash their hands off him hasn’t served to help matters any either. Even Saffy - to whom he at least feels a small sense of gratefulness towards for taking him in is not exempt – he’s already mostly convinced himself that she's only really did it because of the jewellery making.


I know I look like a girl, you don’t need to rub it in' – Unusually for someone, who, at 17 hasn’t managed to grow beyond 5’3” Arian is relatively cool about his height.

He does however have an issue about his looks or more specifically about the fact that he looks girly enough to pass for a girl. Hey it’s not his fault that he seems to have inherited most of his mother’s genes and long hair does not a girl make!

Mistaking Arian for a girl is the surest way to be greeted by a polite if frosty ‘I beg your pardon’.

Actually teasing him about it?

Well if you really want to push his buttons then go ahead.

At first he’d mostly try and ignore it, that ingrained politeness you see.

Inside however, it would burn him, and he’d get more and more steamed up the more the teasing continued.

Eventually he’d get fed up enough to find some way of making you feel miserable back. Okay so it’d mostly be something small - something hard to trace back to him.

So what if it’s petty? Sometimes politeness can only go so far.


'Better bad things happen to me than someone else’ (Guilt complex)/ ‘Yes it’s all going ok... But how long can that last' (Other shoe syndrome) – Even when things are going well, Arian finds it hard to just relax and be happy. He’s the sort of person who actually feels guilty when good things are happening to him as opposed to other people.

Deep down Arian feels that that anything bad should happen to him. Note this doesn’t mean he actively wants bad things happening to him – it’s more of an ‘if bad things must happen, then better they should happen to him rather than someone else’ sort of thing.

Partly this can be linked to the poor image that he has of himself (he is not the sort of person who’d be able to stand in front of a mirror and list 10 positive things about himself), mostly however this leads back the unresolved guilt he feels over being the one who survived the car crash that killed both his mother and his sister.

Intertwined with the guilt is a sort of ‘other shoe’ complex - in that part of Arian often waits for the other shoe to drop. So what if everything's going fine right now - it won't be long until the next bad thing happens.

To Arian the ‘next bad thing’ is usually something he sees as hovering nebulously around the corner.

If someone important ended up getting hurt because of something he did (or did not do) or lost something of significance then Arian would feel gutted. The guilt felt would also feed into his guilt complex which would lead to periods of himself beating himself over the head about it. In severe cases this could trigger the more extreme side of his guilt complex. In those circumstances Arian would become very withdrawn, likely to shut himself up somewhere while he wallows in guilt. This period of time can range from a few hours to (in the most extreme cases) anything from most of a day to a few days.


Physical description:

Eyes: Grey with a few flecks of green if you look closely enough and slightly tilted like a cat.

Hair: Raven black. Worn in a style similar to this: [x] - number 199, but with a 'chunkier' braid along the lines of this [x] - number 149.

Face: Arian has a slight smattering of freckles across his nose. His face is heart-shaped with a perky nose and lips that are slightly thin.

Height: Arian's short for a guy, standing at a total of 5'3"

Colouring: Pale (but not unhealthily so)

Build: Slender with a slight, feminine-looking build.

Weight: Slightly underweight for his age and height although not seriously so.

Nationality

British (His father is English and his mother was Welsh)


Fashion:

Arian likes jeans paired with a casual top when he's not in school uniform. He also wears an earring (one of his own designs) in his right ear. Similar to one of these: [x]. Since he is short sighted Arian also wears a pair of glasses with a slightly-battered black frame which are somewhat crooked and have a tendency to slip down his nose.


Other Character quirks

’Polite’ - After seven or so years of having politeness literally drummed into him (rudeness being a pet peeve of his grandmother) Arian has turned out very polite.

This means that if he needs something from you, he'll make sure to have a 'please' somewhere in the request and if you choose to do that something for him then he'll remember to thank you for it. To give an example - this is a guy who will hold a lift for you, even though it's on the other side of a turntable that you've yet to go through.

As a sidenote to this he also hardly ever swears - this is not to say that Arian never swears, but rather that this is unusual and he would have to be either extremely upset or extremely shocked.


’Hopeless budgeter’ - Some people are good with money and some people just aren't. Arian falls into this latter category and unfortunately for Arian he doesn't come from a family where money is no object.

An example of this is the online shop 'Creations in Silver'. Saffy deals with all the business side of things and there is a reason for this.

Even if Arian was so inclined (he's not), then he'd probably bankrupt them in a week (fortunately he's happy with doing the creating side - after all it allows him to indulge in his love of making jewellery).

Okay so he's not that bad, but you get the general idea.

Arian is the sort of guy who, if you gave him $30 for the week, would somehow manage to spend it all by day 2.


'Not a leader' - Arian does not want to be in charge - Arian hates being in charge. In school projects he's quite happy for someone else to act as the lead and just work on whatever has been delegated to him and he is very unlikely to volunteer himself for a leading role.

In part this is because being in charge equates to having to take on extra responsibility and that equates to plain hassle. In part it’s because he dislikes the limelight. A lot of it, however, is due in no small part to the fact that Arian doesn't see himself as being good enough to be in charge.

History

Arian’s life can roughly be split into three parts – before the accident, after the accident and the period with the parental grandparents.

+ Before the accident

Up until the age of 9, Arian was a pretty well adjusted kid in a pretty unremarkable family – happily married parents; bratty, but cute little sister and a granny he adored.

During that time his favourite food were the hand baked welsh cakes that Nain made.


+ After the accident

Shortly after his 9th birthday, Arian’s world changed when a drunken driver ploughed into his mother’s car as she was driving them home from school, killing both his mother and sister.

Arian’s father changed after the death of his wife and daughter, becoming distant towards his son – too locked up in his own grief to really be able to cope with a son who looked so much like the wife he adored.

After a year in which Arian was mostly looked after by Nain, Arian’s father gave up on even pretending to parent his son and – deciding that his parents would be better guardians than the somewhat eccentric Nain – pretty much dumped Arian on them.

Inter-mixed with all of this was Arian's own grief and guilt over his mother and sister's deaths (something that has never gone away) and it was in this period that crystallised the belief that his father was pushing him away because of the accident - because it was all his fault.

Arian feels that if he’d remembered to bring his 'show and tell' presentation with him rather than leaving it in class, then they would have left school on time and the accident would never have happened. A strong part of him also feels that things would have been better for everyone all round if he had been the one to die in the accident.


+ Parental Grandparents

Living with the parental grandparents was not particularly easy. Neither grandparent had wanted to bring up yet another child and both impressed on the young Arian that they were only deigning to do so in his case because of familial duty.

This was especially pertinent in Arian’s case because they had never approved the match between Arian’s parents – his grandmother Elizabeth in particular – had wanted Arian’s father to marry the daughter from the family of a friend and has never forgiven Seren nor Ariana for as she sees it ‘stealing’ her son away from them. Not that Arian has ever been aware of the full reasons behind his grandparents' dislike towards his mother and granny – more that it would have been pretty hard to miss the animosity directed in their direction.

During the time spent living with his grandparents, Arian tried his best to be the perfect grandson to both of them.

He took up running and tried harder at P.E. in an attempt to please his grandfather because his grandfather wanted to him to be more 'manly'.

With his grandmother, he pitched in at chores around the house, tried his best in school work and tried to be the politest little boy ever in his attempts to please her. He even eventually stopped begging to be allowed to visit his Nain.

It was during this period that the name change from Arian to Andrian came about. Okay so mostly his grandmother was the driving force behind it, but it’s not like Arian particularly fought her over it. Partly it may have been an attempt to garner her approval, mostly though it was a way of trying to bury his feelings over the past.

Making jewellery was pretty much one of Arian’s few bits of rebellion against his grandparents – a hobby that at first was pretty much conducted furtively and treated more like a guilty secret rather than a hobby. It was only when Saffron, his cousin, took notice of it that he really started being more open about it.

Arian kept trying to please his grandparents and his grandparents put up with him until he was caught kissing Hilary Carter near the school entrance. The prospect of having a ‘fairy’ for a grandson the last straw for both grandparents.

At first talk was mentioned of sending Arian off to boarding school somewhere to complete his A-Levels, but after Saffron offered to have Arian, it was agreed that he would move to Destiny City and go live with her.

Crit~

(Warning: This post is huge. I do very big, detailed crits. I try to make them helpful, though, so don't be put off by the size! It just means that I thought your idea has enough potential to put in that much work to help it along!)

As a character, Anthony has been designed with a lot of diversity in traits, but I think that he might lack a defining concept to pull him together. His jewelery-making is his most defining trait, but there's not much that helps us to understand why or how he got into it. That being the case, the character feels diffuse instead of varied; his direction is confused, and it prevents him from being polished up the way that he needs to be.

The hobbies are well-chosen and, for the most part, well-explained. What is arguably his most important hobby, though, hasn't been well-constructed. Why did he choose to start making jewelery? What drew him to the hobby, and what benefits does he get from it? What sort of things does he draw on for inspiration (nature, abstract shapes, time periods, etc.), and what sort of customer base does he cater to (gothic, punk, etc.)? Because this is such a big part of his character, a lot of thought needs to be put into what this means to his character, and what it illustrates about him. Take the time to develop it carefully.

Reading through the personality traits, admittedly, I wasn't blown away. None of the traits seemed to be developed beyond the bare basics, and as a result, the character seemed to lack depth. A lot of what I got from these traits was less "this is how the character sees and interacts with the world", and more "this is a word I would use to describe the character." To try and illustrate this: In the I Will Keep Your Secrets trait, all that you wrote was that he didn't tell secrets and people could trust him. This leaves us wondering, why? What about him makes him so careful about secrets? Is it because he's protective of his own; is he afraid to upset people; does he get some sort of pleasure out of being trusted; is he writing a tell-all book that he plans to release in fifty years? We can't even hazard guesses to his motivations based on what's there right now. It is, plainly, insufficient communication at this point - but luckily, it's one that can be easily remedied with a bit more work. Look at what you have again and ask yourself, for each trait, why; write from inside the character, concentrating on the core values that they hold and what it is that makes those values important to them, and work from there.

One more thing that surprised me was how escapism is cited as a reason for both Anthony's reading and running hobbies, but then is not supported in his personality section. If it's important enough to mention twice in his hobbies, then it should be important enough to develop as a personality trait, right?

As an aside: I think that Creative is a very necessary trait for this character, so I wouldn't get rid of that one if I were you. It just needs more development!

I was sort of bothered when I noticed that you'd written up the same traits twice for the civilian and senshi sides. While I like that you took the time to address those personality traits in terms of what they mean to him as a senshi - it's important that people have an idea of what that means - it's inconvenient to read, and will probably make things difficult on the quest stampers as well. Especially since some of them say essentially the same thing, you should really try to combine the traits into one place so that they're easy to read.

Now, moving onto the Senshi half! First thing I've got to say is that I love the idea of a Senshi of Beads. That was the entire thing that drew me in to look at this quest, actually; I really think that the idea is clever and interesting, and I want to see what you can do with it!

The durations on the attacks all seem to be way too long. Try using D&D standards; every round (post) takes up something around ten seconds of time, give or take, and battles generally don't last a super long time when you get right down to it. The way that the attacks are structured right now, Athene would be able to fire non-stop through most battles he engages in, assuming he didn't get involved in more than one a day (which most days, he wouldn't); that's rather extreme.

I was wondering about his first two attacks: Do the beads remain in the area after they're fired? They can add a complicating element to the battlefield, forcing enemies and allies alike to watch where they're stepping so that they don't slip on the beads, so I think that it would be an interesting addition if they did remain. It might also be worthwhile to figure out approximately how many beads he can produce with each attack in the case that they can remain, because there's some clever situational things that you might be able to do with them depending on the amount you can produce.

I'm not fond of his eternal attack at all. It seems too contrived and limiting, and way too powerful; against larger youma (or humans that unsuccessfully attempt to dodge), a human-sized chunk of quartz could do insane amounts of damage to drop on a person. Quartz weighs 2600kg/m^3; I'm a bit fuzzy on my math right now, but I think that's something like 70 times as dense as a person? So dropping a human-sized hunk of quartz on someone is something like dropping a car on their head. Beyond that, it doesn't really channel any sort of "essence" of what a bead is, but only uses its physical form to force a brute attack that wouldn't be replicated in any practical situation you could imagine beads in.

I would seriously consider taking this attack from scratch and looking for a new direction. Try thinking more along the lines of what beads symbolize and what they mean culturally; look to their use, and try to develop combat uses based on that. You've taken an unusual approach with this senshi, making their attacks so offensive for a sphere like this, and it might be difficult to retool the attacks so that they make better sense so that they're not just utilizing beads physically, but in their essence as well. I think that it would really make your character something spectacular if you could find a way, though, so I encourage you to give it a try! If you want to continue along the offensive theme, try to find specific cultural references or symbolisms that would connect them to wartime. It's hard for me to picture exactly what it is you can do at this point, but there's so many neat things that I'd love to see you use in these attacks! For example, read up on "story necklaces" on this page; it seems like there's got to be something you can do with those, but I'm pretty stumped on how to make it offensive. If you don't mind breaking away into more of a support-type character, though, another (more abstract) idea might be to research the kinds of beads that warriors might have adorned themselves with in battle and research the symbolism behind them, and possibly create strands that Athene or an ally can wear to buff their abilities?

Anyway - all in all, I think you've got a really interesting character in the works here, and a quest that could be nothing short of fascinating. There's some more development that the character needs, though. What it has right now seems like a very basic sketch of a character; it's time to start filling in the details, splashing in some color, creating a unifying mood that will make the character lively and unique! Sink some more time in order to expound on what you have, dig into some research to support your senshi attacks in more ways than just using beads as an attacking force.

Good luck!

I definitely think that you're going along the right lines, so don't worry about that! All the schoolkid concepts for sure seem like good concepts for the sort of character you seem to be building him toward; they just need more to them. 3nodding

I've come up with some new attacks for Arian based on re-working him into a support senshi, I'd love some crits on them to see if they work better than the initial ones (and I'm not stepping on the toes of other sphere users with them sweatdrop ).

Also updated other notes with why those particular beads were picked.
