Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Forera Serpen.
[Forera - taken from the word perforabit, which means pierce in Latin.
Serpen is taken from serpent, as well as dragon in Latin.]

Blood color: #00A5B8 - ▆▆▆▆▆▆

Gender: Female.

Symbol: The ouroboros symbol; the beginning of the end. It also signifies duality.

Personality: Forera is an outgoing, bubbly, curious, and stubborn troll. Once she sets her mind on something, she will fight for it, whether with words or fists. She will not rest until what she's questing for is within reach. She will not stand for it if someone comes up and snatches it from right in front of her, and will easily resort to fighting methods until someone or something calms her down. She's blunt and cannot be subtle, no matter how hard she tries.

Forera's very excited and happy, and tries to always be smiling no matter how she's feeling, but is very childish, and always whines to trolls about random and usually stupid things, like how much cake she ate the other day, why everything was so boring these past few days, etc. Always acting more childish than most of the kids, she travels around places she's known for sweeps as if she were exploring it for the first time because she thinks: "It might have changed in the time that I've been gone!"

Forera is very reckless and competitive, oftentimes doing things on instinct or without much thought. She will jump into any problem with no care in the world. She loves to get into fights and often taunts trolls just to get them to fight with her. If she wins, she brags it in your face, trying to get you mad enough to fight her again— but with good intentions, of course! She just wants you to get stronger, like a personal trainer. You beat her up? She explodes like a firework, yells foul and tries to get up to fight again so she can try to win this time, definitely, because she will win, always!! If you manage to beat her twice in two consecutive battles, she will(probably) respect you, and more often than not, will try and suck up to you get you to warm up to her, all the while trying to fight you to win. She's always thinking— one day! One day I'll beat him/her/hir!

Forera loves to learn about things that benefit herself— such as things that might entertain her, things that can help her get stronger, etc... but she's too rushed and energetic to even touch a book. Not that she won't, but if the book drags on and on or the action doesn't start by the 4th page, Forera will read the ending and drop it and, instead, participate in her regular FLARPing activities. She loves to be clouder, creating exciting and action packed stories whether she's alone or not. Parafora the Rogue waits for no one, ahaha!! She also likes to learn by fighting others— by observing their movements, she sometimes adds it to her own style, therefore helping her improve!

She is very curious and nosy— she loves to get into things that have nothing to do with her. She peeks over people's shoulders to look at what they're doing, and when she sees something big happen somewhere she instantly butts in to whatever it is! She likes to sit around and listen to people talk anout gossip, but she doesn't tell it to anyone(intentionally, at least), because she knows how being depended on feels so she does the same! She trusts many people, and doesn't believe that sometroll would backstab the other for no good reason. She tends to talk a lot of herself, and might slip something important about herself if she's not careful!

She doesn't care about the hemospectrum. Instead, she classifies everyone by strength—not appearance or blood hue. If you're a scrawny looking troll but you manage to beat up a huge troll, she will have respect for you and want to fight you— she'll think of you as a version of herself, in some ways, due to the similarities both of you have. And if you're the troll who lost, she deems you a 'work in progress' and proceeds to help you get stronger by challenging you to a fight many, many, many times. She doesn't expect much from trolls weaker than herself, but urges them to keep trying because honestly, if she hadn't she'd be weak and probably incapable of fighting. But, if you look down on others because of their blood color, she thinks of you as pathetic and will look at you in disgust. From then on she will talk to you as if you're filth on the floor, no matter what blood color you are, even if you're stronger than her. Except maybe the Queen, considering she is royal. To put it in simpler terms, she's unobtrusive and easy to get along with to anyone except those who think others are lower than them. Like most high bloods. She isn't aware of the fact that she's basically doing what highbloods do to low bloods, just because they treat them like crap. She's prejudiced to those who she sees act racist to others.

Strengths:

ⓞ - - "Come on, let's DO THIS!!"
courageous ; She laughs in the face of danger and takes risks others wouldn't be able to— bungee jumping, eating something unidentified, and maybe even trying to kill a 6 footed, 10 foot high terrorbeast with a miniscule scalpel. She holds in her fear(if she has any) with a surprising amount of skill, and shows that she is doesn't care about what happens to her— as long as it's good, haha!

ⓞ - - "We're OBVIOUSLY we're going to win, so don't worry!!"
optimistic ; She's always trying to look at the best option— maybe there's a way out of the tunnel? Or, if not we could make a hole in the wall and run for it before the cave collapses! We'll get out of here alive, no doubt about it! Even if she's close to death or literally surrounded by enemies, she thinks the best in a situation by thinking— I'll get out of this situation. Definitely!

ⓞ - - "I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over MY FIST!!"
confident ; Her self-esteem is extremely high, and due to this, she trusts her own judgment. She doesn't care if people try to insult her, but instead ignores the comments and turns her attention to something else. If they scream at her to get her attention, the girl will probably leave. If not, she'll beat the person to a pulp— their reward for testing her short patience, she says. She is very confident about her abilities, and believes her strength to rival a terrorbeasts when she is serious or extremely mad. Not only that, but she takes pride in her strength and will confirm this by saying it to their faces or, rather, showing them. ; )

Flaws:

ⓞ - - "Ooh, ooh, what's THAT?!"
curious ; This troll is too curious for her own good— she gets into other people's business, not caring about the consequence. This gets her sometimes to get into provoked fights, and often times she only escapes with minor injuries, but sometimes she gets home with blood pouring out of her arms and legs.

ⓞ - - "I'm doing this with or withOUT your help!"
headstrong ; Don't try to stop her when she puts her mind to something. To put it simple, Forera simply doesn't give a crap of what you say. She's doing what she wants— you can't stop her. In any situation she's in, she'll listen to her own opinion. If you had the same thought, fine, good for you, she didn't care. She listens to herself, not you— rules are for goody-good trolls. She doesn't want to hear your stupid voice try and convince her out of it, because what she says goes, and that means you can't stop her, even if you're a high blood or whatever your blood color, she doesn't care. She's the one who makes her own decisions, not you! Her stubbornness often gets her in many situations— almost always bad ones. Although the stubbornness does bring some benefits (good bargains, never gonna give you up, etc.), almost always it's a con. She gets into fights and if someone tells her to stop and calm down, she'll just get riled up. If someone orders her to do something, she'll most likely do the opposite of it just to spite him/her/hir.

ⓞ - - "Are you done yet? You're taking too loong!"
impatient ; She can't stay sitting in some place for long. She needs to get up, do something, ANYTHING to get moving. If you ask her to wait for you outside, she goes outside, waits for 5-10 seconds at most and goes to see what you're doing since you're taking so long!! If you take too long she'll leave you, and she might just apologize to you for leaving before you were done. When it comes to waiting for food to be done, she pressures the cook to hurry up, she's hungry and her stomach needs food! She'll use any form of whining to get their attention and make them go faster. She's not willing to wait for anyone!

Weapon: A small, sturdy scalpel—what she uses to stab trolls smoothly and sneakily.

Appearance: Forera has short, unevenly cut hair that is long in the front and gets shorter as it reaches to the back. It has teal stripes passing through both sides of her hair, like a striped hoof-beast. Her eyes are large and challenging, as if saying— I can definitely take you on. Her tongue is long and snake-like, with sharp, carnivorous teeth. Her horns are small and stretch downwards in an arc.

She wears an open belly black tube top with her sign on it and puffy black pants, held up by a silver chain belt, and black boots with teal straps on them. For accessories, she has a small silver bracelet on her right arm and a band that she wears on her arm.

Home: New Hemisects City, baby! Where the rich run wild, hehe! She lives in a medium sized hive with her bro, Anguis, after the Vast Glub destroyed her hive in Old Hemisect when she was hanging around New Hemisect. (Obviously I was DESTINED to be big!) It's pretty comfortable and has 3 floors— bottom floor for TV and games and stuff, middle floor for kitchen and basic necessities, and top floor for their recooperacoons. There are more than 6 rooms up there, so if trolls want to spend the night they're welcome to come!!

Lusus: Serpentmom! A small serpent like dragon with a bushy tail and spikes on her back that reach to her tiny arms. Serpentmom loves to fight. Both her and Forera like to travel a lot and she stands up for her many times when they fight against other terror beasts. Forera looks up to her and adopted her courageousness and her love of fighting. Forera has the tendency to flick her tongue at someone or hiss when she's irritated, which is somewhat like her Serpentmoms tongue flicking or hissing.

Power: In her wiiiiillllddddest dreams.

reserved. in the meantime this will be where her art is put!!

crittu ~

i see a few spelling/grammar errors. a good proofreading would do you some good. wording in some stuff can get a bit confusing, and there are a few run on sentences. :3


on her views on the hemo spectrum -
so she classifies trolls by strength, makes sense for a troll. what does personality really have to do with anything, though? that seems like less of a ranking system based on strength, and more of a 'I like you for who you are + if you are strong you have my respect'.

which leads me to my next point- if she is ranking trolls by their strength, she would think less of weaker trolls than herself, no? you make it sound like she replaces blood colour with strength for her own little ranking system, but then the stuff about her disliking those who look down upon lowerbloods would be somewhat hypocritical. Or is she hypocritical in this sense? Is she aware of it? Either way I think if you want to replace the hemospectrum with power levels you need to commit to it a little more, otherwise it just seems like she doesn't care about the hemospectrum and merely values strength.

she loves knowledge and to learn, but isn't really a book person. there are certainly other ways to do so, though! how does she learn, or enjoy to learn? maybe she doesnt even realize she is learning, she's found a way to make it so fun! perhaps she likes watching people do things, or likes to try new things in order to expand her skillset. forera doesnt seem like much of a booksmart person to me, but i could certainly see her getting up into everyone else's s**t out of curiousity!

i like her obsession with height, it's cute. :3c i would totally want to rp her and frossa doing ridiculous things to get taller because frossa is gullible too, haha!

going into her problems, keeping them to herself and that sorta stuff. is there a reason she doesn't like discussing her issues with others? you say she trusts many people and isnt very subtle, so i feel like there needs to be some more elaboration.

alright, so going into her crazylady fits. these seem a little ridiculous to be honest, haha. what possible explaination is there for her going batshit if she doesn't fight? why on earth is her itch to fight so gog damn bad? trolls are ridiculous, sure, but homicidal tendacies just out of the sheer urge to FIGHT seems a little far fetched even for a blueblood. especially when they don't remember it! you even mention how much she hates taking her piercings out, yet she goes far enough to rip them right the hell out and do serious damage to herself during these episodes?
if you'd like to keep this quirk, i think you need to rework it a bit. 'She doesn't know' isn't a valid reason, unfortunately.

@confident: i feel like this needs a little more elaboration, as most of the blurb talks about how she would react to someone insulting her vs her actual confidence. is she ever over confident to a fault? perhaps reflect on the other side of this trait a bit more under 'headstrong'.

@independant: most of this seems to fit under confident, and you seem to almost spin it to be negative (she wont listen to others even if its good advice- not exactly a strength!) what does she do to remain standing on her own two feet? does her lusus' upbringing have to do with this trait? perhaps talk about her buisness and things that are based solely around her, not her opinion of other's opinions!

headstrong and stubborn are very similar- try fusing them together and add a different flaw for variety.

finally, serpentmom seems a bit contradictory. she wants to protect forera, and freaks out over every little wound, yet will send her back out to fight....? for why? D: is honour just that important to her?

good base you got going here, just needs a little more refinement!
:3

gonk SORRY FOR THE WALL OF TEXT SORRY FOR THE WALL OF TEXT gonk

just making sure, forera and and anguis are twins? you say 'close friends', but they're using the same symbol and have the same blood colour and lusus

"You beat her up? She yells foul and tries to get up to fight again so she can try to win, definitely, because she will win this time, always." vs "She is almost never mad— even when she loses against someone, asking for a rematch doesn't mean she's a sore loser! "
saying that you were cheating and refusing to admit defeat sound like classic definitions of sore looser. it's a fine trait to have, and fits with her childish personality. i kind of like the idea of her following her battle buddies around insisting that she'll win one day, and pouting childishly at them!

for curious and nosy, even listening to a story or watching a play requires a certain amount of patience, as people usually don't just rush through the story. i have a hard time imagining her sitting through a grand opera, or troll shakespeare play. is she one of those trolls who will heckle from the audience and interrupt the story, jumping in to tell them to hurry up or what she thinks will happen next? she seems the type to just end up interrupting with her own story, confident that it's farrr better than the one that was being told at the time.

when you say 'gain knowledge', what kind do you mean? do you mean she likes finding things out, like 'who killed who in this story', or more traditional practical knowledge, like how to operate a construction crane or play street hockey or do algebra? stories aren't really a great way to learn things, apart from what happens at the end, and i think it's just a little confusing as 'knowledge' is usually used to define learning facts and skills.

As she trusts many people and is something of a social butterfly <- should be somewhat not something :')

the second last paragraph in her personality is a little confusing since you cover so many things in it. she understands that people don't like being dragged into her problems, but doesn't mind when they want to join her in .... something? adventuring? she's blunt and tends to let important things slip when she's talking. and she's trusting. a lot of this stuff seems to be better suited to be placed into other paragraphs that relate to them! let's see...

i would reccomend moving the 'lets important things slip' into the part above when you say she doesn't like to gossip. yes, she doesn't gossip on purpose, but if she does tend to let information out easily, then she might easily and accidentally pass on information she heard, accidentally gossiping. i'd also move trusting and blunt to the very first paragraph, where you're listing off her basic personality traits. that way you have all the information that is related to each other together!

umm, i'd move the paragraph about her being obsessed with high up before the night one, as you mention milk for her hight obsession in the night one, which makes more sense after you've read the .... height one. OTL, just organizing things so they make sense to people reading the profile!!

OK UH ~ not much to say about her strengths and flaws
confident needs a more positive feel, right now it reads like a flaw. how does it help her, or make other trolls admire her?

and finally, completely nitpicky on my part - if she was anywhere near old hemisect she wouldn't have survived the attack by the royal lusus. maybe she was off visiting another city when her previous home was destroyed?

Alright, so I still think this needs a bit of a proofread. Sometimes it gets really wonky in places and doesn't make much sense. (ex "She tends to talk a lot of herself, and might slip something important about herself if she's not careful! And hard.") A lot of the choppiness is probably from you doing edits from crits, but yeah. o uo

It also helps a profile feel more complete if under 'personality' you group like things together. For example, all the stuff relevent to her learning in once place instead of scattered into different paragraphs. Several paragraphs are composed of random facts that would fit better in other places imo! It helps things flow better and seem more organized, making it easier to read and picture her personality.


Alright, so moving on~
@Personality
What kind of work does Forera bud into to? You talk about it for a bit but don't really give any examples except hive construction. How does she help exactly?

You also talk about people not wanting to get into her problems. What sort of problems? Legit ones, or silly shenanigans? If it's the latter maybe 'problems' isn't the best word to use - v- Still, I feel like this should be elaborated on a tad more.

I still don't think you clarify enough about Forera's interests when it comes to gaining knowledge. You now mention she likes it, doesnt like books, but don't go into what actually strikes her interest or how she goes about learning things. You later mention construction and stuff... is that the kind of practical, hands on stuff she wants to learn? If so I think you need to make it more clear- one way or another clarification is needed haha.


Overall, my biggest problem with Forera is the organization of the personality section. It's difficult to read and make sense of. Perhaps have someone give it a proofread or something, and remember quality over quantity. :3 Good luck!
