Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Setsuna Eclaire

Gender: Female

Age: Early to mid-20's

Species: ...lolololololololololol, Human.

Occupation Costume/Custom Jewelry maker - Townie/doesn't belong to any circus but works in the town that they all kind of call home?

Appearance: Natural/Base appearance is of a slim, 5'3", dark skinned women with red eyes and shoulder length red hair, not particularly athletic but clearly wouldn't embarrass herself in a foot race or other sporting endeavor. See abilities for further explanation.


Personality: Born and raised on the Isle De Gambino, there isn't much that can get to, startle, or throw Setsuna for a loop. She's highly adaptable and always looking for a good time, the kind of girl that can find pleasure in almost anything. However, as laid back as she is, if a good time involves busting a few heads, you best watch yours, she is not afraid of a fight.

Abilities: She can change her appearance at will, though not the entirety of her shape, i.e. she can change her legs into claws, grow horns, turn her arms into wings, grow a tail, but she can't turn herself completely into a bird or a flower not that she's ever wanted to. Mostly her augmentations are for aesthetic purposes only - it saves on trips to the salon for those days when she wakes up feeling red but by the afternoon is feeling more purple and by the time she gets to bed is black and gold with a silver highlight. The limit on her height differential is 15 inches in either direction.

Weaknesses: She's incredibly self centered. If it's not something that either effects or interests her it may as well not exist. This makes her very easy to manipulate but you'd better establish a good relationship with her before hand if you mean to use her more than once - if she ever finds out you've duped her you're apt to lose any fingers or limbs you put within a 10 foot radius of her ever again.

Backstory: Being an Isle De Gambino native, it isn't surprising to find Setsuna was, at one point, a member of G-Corp, though never as anything so esteemed as a lab tech. She, instead, was the master of archives, which - at points - proved just as dangerous, the women having a hand in and knowledge of nearly every single project, exploit, and endeavor (secret, mundane, and otherwise) to have happened within the stainless steal walls of the underground facility. This is how she came across "The Box". Something about the stirring of the components after so many years of dormancy, the chemicals of her body, and possibly even the layer of dust across is glass top had combined in perfect synthesis when she touched it. From that point on she found she could change her appearance at will which - for someone who changed moods, outfits, and hairstyles as often as she does was both an amazing gift and a terrible burden. To avoid being locked into one of those windowless cells known as an observation room in some tech's lab she had to abandon her post and her island home because one did not simply leave G-Corp. However, with the death of Gambino and the chaos of Labtech X, she's begun to breath a little easier knowing she would probably be at the bottom of a very long list of things to be looked into.

*As such, she's finally decided to settle down in the town that time forgot which is nestled just off the beaten path between Bassken Lake and Old Aqueduct. Aquifer was a sleepy place, but it was perfect as far as she was concerned namely because it was close to three of her favorite animated-stomping grounds and the atmosphere was as close to the relaxed friendliness she'd grown up with on the Isle. It didn't hurt that she found a shoppe that doubled as an apartment that the owner had sold her for next to nothing seeing as how it was so run down. It hadn't taken very long for her to fix the place up and make it her own, about three months after buying the place "Sparkles, Spangles, and Specials" was open for business.

*I kind of gave the town a name and a place just for my own reference, if anyone has a problem with that I can generic it down D:


Facts: All of Setsuna's raw materials for the jewelry and select few clothing items she produces come generally from the loot dropped by animated - she kind of specializes in it xD. A lot of the time her shop is closed because she's out getting her materials and she works more on word of mouth and commissions than anything else. Everything she makes is generally one of a kind of for someone in particular though she has some pieces that are for general purchase.

Sample:

Setsuna sighed in satisfaction as she jiggled her nearly filled pack, the glittering red of jewel eyes of masks and the colorful feathers of coatls mixed in with the glittering fabric from dolls and ribbons from lanterns. She'd been a busy girl today, but her efforts had not gone to waste. She'd be able to finish up the head piece Claret had ordered for her masque sooner than even she'd anticipated and with this last bit, she would probably have enough left over to make a matching necklace since the dress the women planned on wearing was strapless, plus work on a few other trinkets she'd designed in a fit of muse the night before. Closing up the pack, she swung it across her back, arms slipping into the well worn straps with the ease of long practice as she turned and made for the stone steps leading down and out of the Otami Ruins.

It was an easy enough trip down
