Planetary RingsA planetary ring is a ring of cosmic dust and other small particles orbiting around a planet in a flat disc-shaped region. The most notable planetary rings known in the Solar System are those around Saturn, but the other three gas giants of the Solar System (Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune) also possess ring systems of their own.
Reports in March 2008 have suggested that the Saturnian moon Rhea may have its own tenuous ring system, which would make it the only moon known to possess a ring system. A later study published in 2010 revealed that imaging of Rhea from the Cassini mission was inconsistent with the predicted properties of the rings, suggesting that some other mechanism is responsible for the magnetic effects that had led to the ring hypothesis.
There are three ways that thicker planetary rings (the rings around planets) have been proposed to have formed: from material of the protoplanetary disk that was within the Roche limit of the planet and thus could not coalesce to form moons; from the debris of a moon that was disrupted by a large impact; or from the debris of a moon that was disrupted by tidal stresses when it passed within the planet's Roche limit. Most rings were thought to be unstable and to dissipate over the course of tens or hundreds of millions of years, but it now appears that Saturn's rings might be quite old, dating to the early days of the Solar System.
Fainter planetary rings can form as a result of meteoroid impacts with moons orbiting around the planet or, in case of Saturn's E-ring, the ejecta of cryovolcanic material.
The composition of ring particles varies; they may be silicate or icy dust. Larger rocks and boulders may also be present, and in 2007 tidal effects from eight 'moonlets' only a few hundred meters across were detected within Saturn's rings.
Sometimes rings will have "shepherd" moons, small moons that orbit near the outer edges of rings or within gaps in the rings. The gravity of shepherd moons serves to maintain a sharply defined edge to the ring; material that drifts closer to the shepherd moon's orbit is either deflected back into the body of the ring, ejected from the system, or accreted onto the moon itself.
It is predicted that Phobos, a moon of Mars, will break up and form into a planetary ring in about 50 million years due to its low orbit."... oh wow."
He was distracted, looking over the Essence slowly orbiting in the glass. He couldn't help it, he was drawn into it. He slowly gripped the jar and peered inside, bringing it up to his mud brown eyes and tilted his head instead of moving the jar. He didn't want to jostle it- make it unstable. He bit his lip and gathered in the dust.
"Planetless rings... Like Saturn? Without the saturn?" He paused, eyes not leaving the essence, voice gravelly as he exclaimed- "how the flying ******** does that work?"

Hamsa - Symbol :: [ خمسة] Hamsa (خمسة] khomsah, also romanized khamsa, meaning "five") is a palm-shaped amulet popular throughout the Middle East and North Africa, and commonly used in jewelry and wall hangings. Depicting the open right hand, an image recognized and used as a sign of protection in many societies throughout history, the hamsa is believed to provide defense against the evil eye. The symbol predates Christianity and Islam. In Islam, it is also known as the hand of Fatima, so named to commemorate Muhammad's daughter Fatima Zahra. Levantine Christians call it the hand of Mary, for the Virgin Mary. Jews refer to it as the hand of Miriam in remembrance of the biblical Miriam, sister of Moses and Aaron.Hamsa - Bird :: [हंस] The Hamsa is an aquatic bird, often considered to be a goose or sometimes a swan. It signified strength and virility. With the emergence and consolidation of the Hindu scriptures of Upanishads, hamsa acquired more attributes, including being treated as symbol of purity, detachment, divine knowledge, cosmic breath (prana) and highest spiritual accomplishment. Such a high level of symbolism was attached to hamsa as it transcends the limitations of the creation around it: it can walk on the earth (prithvi), fly in the sky, and swim in the water.
It also represents perfect union, balance and life. A constant repetition of the word "hamso" changes it to "Soaham", which means "That I am". Hence the hamsa is often identified with the Supreme Spirit or Brahman. The flight of the Hamsa also symbolizes the escape from the cycle of samsara. The bird also has special connotations in the monistic philosophy of Advaita Vedanta - just as the swan lives on water but its feathers are not wetted by water, similarly an Advaitin tries to live in this material world full of Maya, but is unsoiled by its illusionary nature.

[img/]http://skyejuice.com/gaia/lab/full/hamsa.jpg[/img] NAME : Tatiana Mae Troxel
ORIGIN : Tatiana is the name of Alexander Pushkin’s heroine in his poetic novel Eugene Onegin. At least that's where Troxel first heard the name. Upon researching the captured Hamsa soul, he thought a Tibetan or Hindu name would fit his soon-to-be ward best. Then he researched further. As a future ‘father’ to be, naming the Raevan something he couldn’t pronounce would probably be a staggering blow in the first instances of guardianship. He moved to the moons of Saturn for inspiration, as rings were the essence of the being. Titan grabbed his interest immediately, leading again to Tatiana. It was feminine and reminded him of Shakespeare but so reminiscent of the element [Titania was too metallic]. After running the name through a focus group of coworker’s children, he settled: Tatiana. Her middle name, ‘Mae’ was echoed from his mother, Anabel Mae.
GENDER : Female
ALIGNMENT : Neutral Good
STRONGEST STAT : Intelligence – Due to Tatiana’s inquisitive and sponge-like brain she’s a self identified ‘information collector’. She easily comprehends subjects like science and math because of their straightforward process-to-result nature. Tatiana’s curiosity dovetails with her introverted personality to create something of a bookworm. Furthermore all of the facts miraculously stick on the first read. This is most likely due to the cosmic nature of her Hamsa soul. Harrison is left believing that the Frei is an eidetic.
LIKES : Iridescence, birds in flight, bodies of water and grounding sensory
DISLIKES : Vertigo, complex emotions, conflicting results/reactions, touching without consent/her initiation, chaos and too much cloud cover as it obstructs her view of the milky way not to mentions makes Harrison irritable
HOBBIES : Tatiana has an affinity to memorizing applicably useless information such as people’s last words or simple chemical compositions. She also has created a physical flowchart for events and proper social reactions to said events.
FOOD SOURCE : Tatiana feeds on the kinetic energy of objects under gravity’s influence- a flying bullet, a falling vase, rain. As an effect, the object will undergo a stronger gravitational force- i.e. make the object fall faster. Watch out for Tatiana at the firing range, Troxel, you might find your shots below mark!
POWERS : [01] Gravitational Control – Tatiana has the limited ability to control the effect of gravity on an object, such as make the gravitational constant have a stronger or weaker pull on a mass.
[02] Acute Gravitational Field – More of a trait, as a baseline tiny particulates can be seen orbiting Tatiana’s limbs or head, like bangles of dust motes in the sun or small objects. She will gain control of this trait by changing her own gravitational constant strength.
PERSONALITY : Unbridled curiosity is the default setting for Tatiana, yet she plays introvert far more comfortably than loud extrovert. Like a scientist with her specimens, she observes, takes notes and formulates, but rarely interferes. There’s a gut aversion to social complications that stops her from synthesizing a unique response... so instead she mimics. A joke means laugh, sadness means frown. Tatiana favors reactions that elicit happy and straightforward emotions in her. With that she fears those emotions that do not. She has a difficult time acknowledging the gravity of a situation and will attempt to remain as detached as possible in order to avoid overcomplicating matters. Over time she will create a flow chart of ‘acceptable reactions to things that happen’ based solely on what she observes. This is to avoid discomfort. Honestly, the world is much safer to her when it is augmented by her own design.
When unhindered by the anxieties of social miscommunication, she maintains a very carefree outlook on life. She loves her pursuit of knowledge and actively finds things that make her feel good. Inanimate or intangible sensory provide safer outlets and are prioritized above social interaction: a sunrise being particularly beautiful, music causing pleasant shivers. She is quick to laugh and quick to love these moments of beauty and contentment. This isn’t to say that she is anti-social; she merely takes the road of observation above actually jumping into conversation. She is anything but a social-butterfly.
Tatiana isn’t timid but her quiet observation-based attitude does indeed lead to that image. She’s slow to speak her mind for fear of saying something incorrect. She has learned, in a quick Pavlovian manner, that a smile on her sweet face will gain positive responses from most parties. This relates to her subservient behavior. When there is a optimistic reaction, it elates a good emotion in her. However, if she oversteps or is incorrect, she feels anxious. This anxiety stems from her inability to please everyone. To say the least, she has a large complex orbiting guilt.
RELATIONSHIP : Tatiana views Harrison Troxel like a pilot would regard a technical operator's manual. He is, to put it simply, her textbook example of how a normal person should act. She puts him on a pedestal and would do anything to receive a ‘positive’ reaction from him, much like a gosling and her new parent. ‘What would Harrison do?’ is her first response when presented with any situation. While she actively gathers information from her social group for correct responses, their imprint on her is minute compared to Troxel. At least initially, Harrison will be idolized and seen purely as a father figure. Yet, as she grows and collects more data she will begin to recognize imperfections in her ‘super-hero’. This will inevitably shift their dynamic to a more even plane.
On the other hand, Troxel is oblivious to Tatiana’s portrait of himself. His views are hazed by the primal urge to nurture this new dependent. It is easy for him to put Tatiana’s needs above his own and seek enjoyment out of seeing that she is cared for. If given the moment of retrospect, he’d state that he never foresaw this behavior coming out of him. In actuality the idea of being depended on is oddly fulfilling to him. As soon as the Frei came into his life, Tatiana’s perseverance through her new life has become his ultimate concern. Despite Tatiana’s personal growth, this will remain constant.
EXTRA : Tatiana has a condition similar to vertigo. This is a nod to the unstable system that is her essence. Rings orbiting no known gravitational point are as unstable as balancing a ball on the point of a pencil. Her affinity towards ‘grounding’ sensory is in direct relation to this condition. That is to say- gripping a nearby body, holding someone’s hand, focusing on the ground below her and keeping her horizon in view and horizontal. While she ‘likes’ this type of sensation [specifically holding another person], only she can initiate this contact. If someone comes into contact with her without her consent or prior knowledge, it might send her into a chaotic spell of misdirection. Harrison is the one exception to this rule.

Trox is also fluent in Farsi and French for two very different reasons.
History: Harrison holds no deep tale of his past. His childhood was a nurturing one- simple and stereotypical with an absent military father and a doting mother- an only child in his own right. His fondest memories consist of those rare occasions when his father would pack lunches- hoist him onto his shoulders and watch the infrequent airshow over Barton’s fields.
Growing up he was convinced he’d be a soldier; learn to fight for his country and mimic the actions of his father. However when he turned 18 he elected for an education opposed to a rifle and elected to join the officer corps while attending college for criminal law in Durem. Upon graduation Harrison was fed into the military as a commanding officer and an aviator based in near Gambino. Upon serving his minimal commitment he took the skills learned as a military aviator and applied to the rotor wing branch of government- working homeland security.
He is well admired by coworkers as a seasoned pilot, a good shot and a very level head. Upon leaving the military he decided to split the difference between his home and his family- moving outside of Barton on a small plot of land with a quaint and relatively minimalistic house. His only company is a veteran dog, Trigger- left behind by one of Harrison’s buddy when he crashed overseas. The mellow company suits him well especially when he stretches his legs with a lengthy hike or early mornings fishing on the lake.
[ Physical Characteristics ]
Height: 6’5”
Weight: 210 lbs
Race: Caucasian/Human
Eye Color: Light brown
Hair Color: Strawberry Blond
Hair style: Cropped short – once a military cut grown out. Harrison’s hair naturally curls after a certain length. However, due to his constant wear of baseball caps it lies near flat on his head.
Vision: 20/15 vision- no need for aid.
Skin color: His complexion is originally fair and heavily freckled but hours of fishing has tanned it evenly part from the darkened skin and part from freckles. ‘I don’t tan, I freckle’ is only partially true.
Distinguishing features: All features of Troxel are relatively lackluster, excluding his jarring height. Accentuated by his high metabolism and an addiction to exercise, his face is defined, all angles and planes. His eyes are slightly sunken and large. The most distinguishing features- again, aside from his height- are his tattoos. On his left calf there is a small tattoo of a chamberstick and lit candle, the inside of his right bicep is a farsi prayer to his fallen comrades, around his left bicep is the aviation shield and wings, his back shoulder has an eagle with the KIA/POW flag, on his left a** cheek resides a helicopter [UH-60M to be exact] silhouette.
Dress: Harrison is your character for not having an ounce of fashion sense anywhere in his body. This stems from him being stuck between Army uniforms and flight suits for the majority of his adult life. Now he’s left with two semi-professional jobs and no wardrobe. His daily outfits for the DHS job are still regulated to a uniform, which he keeps at work for security reasons. Medevac is more lenient in putting standards out for flight boots, khaki pants and the provided polo/flight jacket. Day to day life is a bit more difficult for Trox. His wardrobe is mostly athletic or camping wear with zip off khaki’s, shorts, t-shirts and polo shirts. Footwear also takes a nod the outdoorsy nonchalant lifestyle with Crocs, Kean sandals or hiking shoes. He either always looks ready for a hike or ready to workout. Business casual isn’t a category you’d find in his closet.
Personality: Harrison is glib of tongue and seemingly sociable only when the situation calls for it. Behind his often bantering tone lies a quiet man, driven by his punishingly idealistic mind. His mind is quick and decisive, serving him well in his profession. He is good at what he does, always eager to learn and easily puts in the effort to stay proficient in his profession.
Above all else, he is interested in serving humanity, which acts as his main drive to remain at the top of his class. His values are rock solid in protecting those in need and maintaining order. In order to accomplish this, he recognizes that he must take care of himself- he’s active mentally and physically in order to keep himself ready to jump to the rescue. Unfortunately to those unfamiliar with him, this comes off as self-interest.
While usually Harrison is laid-back, when his morals or anyone he considers important are threatened, he reacts ferociously. This response prompts a strong aversion to commitment. He recognizes this reaction and thus is wildly at odds with his fear of any emotional attachment. He jokes and shrugs off the idea of romance in order to keep a strong appearance. In reality, Harrison avoids attachments so he’ll never let people down- by his absence, by failings, his possible death in the line of duty. This is a nod to a hidden sentimental portrait of the quiet and reserved introvert.
Habits: Harrison is consistently awake at roughly the butt-crack of dawn and will immediately make a beeline for his coffee maker and dog feeding station. Once both man and beast are happily sustained he’ll attempt a moderate run [if a Monday, Wednesday or Friday, all other days are reserved for fishing]. Other habits include intense dental hygiene, singing in the shower, cooking.
Health: Harrison maintains a healthy lifestyle regarding diet and sleeping schedules and as a result rarely gets sick. However, due to wear and a particularly nasty aviation accident his back has received three operations and a fusing of two vertebrae in his lumbar section.
Hobbies: Fishing, cross fit, hockey, cooking and running. Trox also has the very morbid habit of reading CVRs [Cockpit Voice Recorders] to aviation accidents. During the long drives into work he listens to audio books and will read novels in between flights if his paperwork is at bay.
Favorite Sayings: None in particular yet- he tosses in a lot of aviation vernacular into his daily speak. Also, instead of stating he likes or dislikes something he’ll refer to either being a fan or not being a fan of said ‘something’ or even someone.
Disabilities: Due to an helo crash landing when he was deployed combined with hours sitting hunched in body armor, Harrison’s lower back has sustained an unhealthy amount of damage. His lumbar has undergone three surgeries and has resulted in two vertebrae being fused together in order to prevent further internal damage. Because of this, his back is nearly always stiff and causes constant discomfort or pain.
Style (Elegant, shabby etc.): A bit too NorthFace or Eastern Mountain Sports for most people.
[ Intellectual/Mental/Personality Attributes and Attitudes ]
Educational Background: Completed a Bachelors of Arts in Criminal Justice through a Reserve Officer Training Corps program and has undergone a fair number of Military Schooling [see Talents above]
How does the Character see himself? He sees himself disfigured and lanky. He likes to think that he is competent in his actions and a damn fine pilot. However he is always nervous that the people he meets will dislike him for some unknown reason and is very cautious about boundaries and the metaphorical mine field of eggshells.
How does the Character believe he is perceived by others? He has a moral tenacity to believe that everyone in the world is uneasy with him on first sight namely because of his height and his military experience. So in his innate tendency to be modest and quiet, he assumes that he at least comes off as a nice guy. He’ll keep his military background and current DHS job to himself. Even with asked he’ll give vague answers like ‘I’m a pilot’ or throw out his second job as a medevac pilot. He likes to be seen as that awkward unassuming tall guy. He’s simple, he’s dumb, he’s a pilot.
Greatest flaw: He assumes a lot of responsibility and carries it with him longer than he should.
Best quality(ies): Natural leader, level headed and competent in everything he does. Even if he’s unsure- he’ll at least act confident in it.
[ Emotional Characteristics ]
Introvert or Extrovert? Harrison is the poster child for Introvert. He is quiet and reserved and would honestly hermit away to himself if he could get away with it.
How does the character deal with anger? He’s rather level headed about it and is quite straightforward in a calm manner. If someone is bugging him he would probably look them in the eyes and try and get his point across using his expression rather than stating ‘Knock your s**t out”. He’s rather intimidating when he needs to be.
With sadness? He’s bad with this emotion. Harrison is outright terrible with dealing with sadness. He’ll become exceedingly closed off from family and friends and will ignore the emotion until it has been tamed beyond the point of feeling it. He exerts himself in times of sadness with running, working out or hockey.
With conflict? Conflict isn’t difficult given that he has be trained in conflict resolution since day one of his undergrad career. He’s very much content with ‘I’m going with this path and if it lands in a horrible place then tough luck’. However this is only in regards to himself, when other people also hang in the balance he puts their needs ahead of his and falls back onto military logic.
With change? Harrison is very fluid and a bit of a minimalist. As long as he has a way to contact his family he is content. Change has little to no effect on him.
With loss? Similar to sadness. Loss will weigh him down, the losses of his men and of his ‘brothers in arms’ stick with him even today. He takes personal blame for the loss of his co-pilot and it is a constant memory that will ebb and flow depending on the year.
What does the character want out of life? He wants inner peace really, he wants to appease his family, become normal and keep on living for those who couldn’t. He just needs to get over a few hurdles. As long as he’s still flying he’s happy.
What would the character like to change in his life? He hides it well, but he wants above all else to have a family of his own.
What frightens this character?
What makes this character happy? Flying. He gets no greater joy than seeing the world from 500ft+ in the air. He loves the fast and the dangerous, he loves the mission and he loves to be in the air.
Is the character judgmental of others? He is a deep believer that his gut will tell him everything he needs to know concerning fight or flight. There’s also no hiding that he’s a very judgmental and biased person- he just isn’t quick about it. If he gets bad vibes then he’ll keep his distance but he won’t change course over the fact that the person leaning against the wall there probably has an unhealthy interest in his wallet… especially considering his DHS job requires him to be armed 24/7.

Awwwwwe Yis... ********' Breadcrumbs-Trigger - male -12 yo - black long haired german shepherd- Trigger is Troxel's first and most loyal dog. Often referred to as 'old man'. Harrison took Trigger in when he was 9 after his owner and Troxel's friend was KIA overseas on deployment. He's normally well natured and mellow. Uncharacteristically, Trigger was the beast who killed the Hamsa- the soul of which Harrison captured as an act of apology. -Kiowa - female - aprox. 4 year old - english shepherd/mix- Harrison has always had a knack of picking up strays, ask his mother. The humane society is his weakness and he can never say no to a sweet face. While driving home from a day of fishing he nearly hit this sweet girl laying injured in the road. He sat with her for a moment before wrapping the whimpering pup in a towel and driving her to the nearest emergency veterinary service. She had no identifiers and was not chipped- so after a wrap job, stitching, fluids, a cone and a hefty vet bill, Troxel took her home. He kept the healing pup in the paper for two months before adopting her into the family. Her name, Kiowa, was chosen by the pilot after his favorite helicopter. -Belle - female - 2 yo. - mutt/probably some husky- Troxel saw Belle at the local pet mart while the human society had an adoption event. He made eye contact and tried his hardest to not fall for her little face- focus on the mission of Kiowa and Trigger's pet spa appointments. He came back a few hours later to adopt the girl, renaming her Belle after having a large dislike for her previous name 'Spot'. Belle is the feminine take off of Bell Helicopters. Yes he has a problem.
IT'S ********' COFFEE TIME D< <3!Name: Camille Ellemond Moore

and a metric butt ton of medical certifications
Cam is fluent in both French and Cajun Creole. He also has a spattering of Russian and Portuguese. Languages are very easy for him to pick up as he has an eidetic memory
History: Camille Moore was born a sordid tale. His sister Magnolia, from a previous engagement is older than him by 7 years and had long been taken away- her father was a bit of a d**k-banger and threatened to harm the infant. Camille’s mother, being incapable of caring for her daughter gave her to social services. Cam and Mags have never met- and while Magnolia is aware of Cam's existence, he is does not mirror this knowledge.
Instead Cam was born to a junkie mother who slept with her dealer, who thought Camille would be her new start… he wasn’t. His stepfather was a crooked man and his mother was absent inside the shell of herself. He was left in the care of his father’s mother, a Cajun through and through, who was the only woman to genuinely care. She died when he was 16.
Since the death of his grandmother, Cam dreamed of joining the army, joining an aviation unit and never returning. He loved aircraft however years of tending to his heroin-addicted mother and ailing grandmother landed him a set of healers’ hands. It felt right. While hoofing it through high school alone he fought for, worked for and achieved his EMT qualification. At 17, he finally enlisted after forging his mother’s signature on the consent form.
He leapt into his new life with new vive and verve. Nothing could bring him down. He loved the thrill and the adventure and above all else- the challenges. He excelled in part due to his eidetic memory and partially to drive. There was nothing left for him at home. There was, really, no home.
He was on his second deployment, Harrison Troxel being the pilot in command, when a rogue RPG hit their helo. They went down, the debris, the fire, the explosion and two well-placed bullets incapacitated him. He woke up once in an insurgent camp, receiving poor medical attention- Harrison kept zip-tied and hooded next to him. After two weeks, they were returned to NATO and US Army custody. An immediate amputation of the right leg rid the small man 20% of his body without his consent. The man he’d been seeing since basic training left him the day he was stable and off life support- and Cam turned to alcohol instead of rehabilitation.
It took Cam three years since that tour to reach out again- to the man he loved like a mentor but despised most, Harrison Troxel
[ Physical Characteristics ]
Height: 5’2"
Weight: 97 lbs
Race: Caucasian/Human
Eye Color: Mud Green/Hazel
Hair Color: Black
Hair style: Kept short, despite his hateful relationship with his receding hairline- his hair has the tendency to stick straight up— also embarrassing and another reason to keep it short.
Vision: 20/50 vision has a super sexy pair of
BCGs
Skin color: His complexion is quite fair and heavily freckled, lots of freckles… all of the freckles. Everywhere.
Distinguishing features: Camille is very short. His height, or lack there of, used to be the most distinguishing feature on his body. However he now is an above the knee amputee- after having lost his right leg in a tragic helicopter crash. His body is scarred from both surgery and shrapnel- leaving most of his torso marred and a large scar on his right eyebrow [he refuses to say whether he got it in the crash or from earlier].
Dress: Camille attempts to retain a keen fashion sense. He enjoys clingy fabrics in that they don’t get in the way- but he is rather modest as to cover his prosthetic and most of his scarring. Basic T-shirt- high V-neck and jeans type of man. Very keen on warm sweatshirts as he finds himself more susceptible to the cold now. His footwear consists of low impact and fully covered to hide his prosthetic- A green pair of toms are what he finds easiest.
Personality: Bold, forward, skittish and full of wanderlust.
Habits: Camille’s habits are all out of whack. He’s still trying to figure himself out in his very new very veered life. Tiny habituals are prominent though. He’s avid with oral hygiene and might brush his teeth upwards of four times a day. When he thinks he scrunches his entire face— in fact, his face is the most expressive feature on the small man. His eyebrows are constantly raising, eye movements, nose flares, mouth— everything moves constantly. He’s like a golden retriever’s eyebrows. His photographic memory also plagues him a bit.
Health: Rather unhealthy since the crash. He’d been fed on tubes for a long while and lost a substantial amount of weight. His beverages of choice have always been hard liquor and he finds exercise useless because of his prosthetic. He’s getting better now- actually attending rehab and Alcoholics Anonymous. The medications required for his emotional scars and his physical injuries leave his immune system suppressed often- he’s more often than not very weak and suffers from chronic nosebleeds.
Hobbies: Cooking, reading, singing and playing his guitar. He misses work and misses the military- the only home he really had. He’s looking into being a substitute French teacher for lower grades.
Favorite Sayings: “Bleev y’in me…” Cam has a cajun accent that can either be very heavy and near incomprehensible to very light and somewhat charming.
Disabilities: Due to the crash, Cam is an above the knee amputee- learning to drive with his left foot. He also suffers from severe PTSD as a result of his eidetic memory.
Style (Elegant, shabby etc.): Clean, muted and just shy of flamboyant. He fakes the funk a lot. Perceived as happy and as cocky when he’s really terrified inside.
[ Intellectual/Mental/Personality Attributes and Attitudes ]
Educational Background: High School diploma followed by a LOT of military training.
How does the Character see himself? Camille hates himself. He’s short, he’s pasty- where there used to be controlled abs and built muscle of an Army Strong flight medic, special forces trained badass- now resides a layer of skin and bones. He hates that he is missing a leg- the wound is ugly in his own mind. He hates that he walks funny, sounds undereducated and has often referred to his eye color as ‘s**t green’. In short, Camille hates himself.
How does the Character believe he is perceived by others? Cam is also very two faced. He hides his self loathing well by acting like his s**t is so hot and everyone wants it. He maintains a varying level of joking- at the expense of himself- and pretends to strut. He acts like he embraces his ugly and his new body.
Greatest flaw: He is far too harsh on himself and too quick to cling to those who don’t care about the shape he’s in. Too quick to trust for someone so broken inside.
Best quality(ies): Despite all the angst his tale has- Cam has honestly gotten to the point of not giving any more ******** about it. He is an utterly defeated man. And because of this it’s easy for him to laugh, smile and act like the world is ending. This new form has given him quite the impulse streak.
[ Emotional Characteristics ]
Introvert or Extrovert? Extrovert, Cam needs to be validated and cared about by other people. He craves these relationships and they directly effect his happiness.
How does the character deal with anger? He’s done playing peacemaker, unless it involves his makeshift family. He will take the time to crack some jokes or response purely with sass.
With sadness? It’s a constant undertone to his emotional makeup. If he’s sad he’ll simply drink until he forgets…. *slow clap*
With conflict? Cam hates conflict and will avoid it at all costs. He doesn’t want to be a part of it but also won’t help mediate to a common goal or outcome. He’ll simply step back and pull a flask in order to weather the storm.
With change? His life is in constant flux and has been since the aircraft crashed. He’s a man who will go with the flow, couch surf, find the bed of someone drunk and stupid….
With loss? He lost three of the best coworkers he’s had in the matter of minutes. He’s pretty numb on loss too. He feels it, but internally. Again… drink to forget.
What does the character want out of life? He wants to be whole again. Wants to be able to accomplish everything he’s been working towards. We the readers know this can’t happen, so second best is coming to terms with it and drawing complacence.
What would the character like to change in his life? A robot leg would be pretty neat.
What frightens this character? The images stuck in his head, namely.
What makes this character happy? A warm body holding him. Feeling connected to someone, not needing the alcohol to make a memory go away.
Is the character judgmental of others? …. oh hell yes. He just doesn’t care at the end of the day..
