Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Deborah McKinley

Nickname: Deb or Debbie.

Age: 18

Birthday: February 9th

Sign: Aquarius

Gemstone: Amethyst

Blood Type: AB

Fav. Food: Sweeeeeets. Crunchy things. Meat. And pretty much everything else. She has a fondness for easily-crunched hard candy.

Hated Food: There's very little she actually hates to eat unless it's really bitter or unusual-tasting.

School: Destiny City University

Hobbies:

Food- Foooooood. Food and flavors are veritably the core of Deborah's passions. She is almost always found eating something (or chewing gum to stave off munchies if she's not allowed to eat for some reason). She revels in anything delicious and loves going to restaurants. Mention a favorite food (which isn't a terribly difficult mark to hit by any means), and her face will totally light up. It really is a wonder that she stays in shape at all, and at this point she chalks it all up to a warped metabolism. She's considering becoming a food critic in the future.

Computering- Deborah spends a lot of time on the internet, most of it spent chatting with other people. She writes little stories and posts them from time to time. She's well aware of pop culture even if she doesn't always care about it. She likes places where you can make or customize things (avatars, rooms, you name it). The Sims is very much a favorite game of hers.

Virtues:

Laid-back- Deborah is generally pretty cool headed and smooth in her interactions with others. It's hard to genuinely rile her up; at worst, she might slip into contemplative silence as she mulls over just how to respond to something.

Observant - Deborah notices the little things about people. Did you cut your hair? Are you wearing different makeup or clothes than usual? She will mention these things to you upon seeing them. She can also perceive people's nervous tics or general habits. If you need someone to keep track of your body language for you, come to Deb.

Thoughtful - Deborah thinks things through and approaches situations with an open mind. She's quite good at considering multiple perspectives on an issue and determining what the possible outcomes of an action are. She might not always act in accordance with her calculations, but you can bet that she has at least reflected on the situation at hand.

Flaws:

Avoidant- If Deborah doesn't want to do something, she's not going to do it. Her chief response to stress is to go back to bed and sleep it off and hope the stressful event goes away on its own. If it's an event that requires her to actually do something to resolve it, you can bet she's going to push it off for as long as possible.

Selfish- Deb tends not to care about other people. She mercilessly tunes out gossip ("who are these people, and why should I care about them again?") and, while she occasionally lets other people vent to her because she feels that it might just be common courtesy, you can bet that she's not actually listening (and perhaps might even be making an effort to crunch louder to drown you out). (She'll still happily talk to people, of course, but the moment things get heavy, she's out the door.) On a related note, DO NOT ask her to share her food with you. Not only will she not give you any, but she'll probably berate you for asking. Under certain circumstances, however, she might buy you your own of whatever she's eating. Maybe.

Pessimistic/Melancholic- "We're all doomed to have something bad happen to us eventually, so let's just shut up and enjoy what we've got till the next thing comes up." That's more or less Deborah's slogan. She's prone to fits of sulking and very, very dark moods where everything sucks and is terrible and we should all just cave in because everything is just that godawful. She doesn't typically expect good things to happen to herself or others, so she's surprised when good things do happen.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

(Based off this character I sprited.)

Eyes: Her eyes are gold in color.

Hair: Hair is blue and typically kept back in a spiky/messy ponytail (I'd like the artist to make it fairly voluminous like in the sprite ref, but if it reaches "how on earth does that fit in a ponytail" proportions, feel free to tone it down a bit). She's got two side-bangs that frame her face.

Face: Face is oval, with a small nose.

Clothes: Something like the sprite might be nice- the blue jacket is something I'd like to keep (the gold embellishments should probably be taken off though). Under that, she wears a shortish, darker blue dress with a halter top that's got some cinching under the bust. (The ref I provided is really bad at showing off the dress and I apologize for that.) She has black ankle boots with a small heel.

Hello Sami! Here I am critting for you! <333

Hobbies:

Food: This is purely for extra info – does she keep a food blog at all? Does she like to cook or is it all ready made meals and restaurants? Will she make friends eat as much as her? Even though she doesn’t share her food will she swipe food from others? Like I said this is just for extra info but the hobby is fine!

Computering: Do you mean pop culture as in music? Or just what the trend is that everyone is speaking about? I am an old foggy and I am not sure what you mean XD!

Personality:

Does her selfish attitude ever clash with her attention to detail and being thoughtful? If she noticed someone was visibly upset or maybe hiding an injured would she just not care about them at all? (even though she would make a point of mentioning what she can see to that person?)

And just a small comment for the pessimistic fault the “shut up and enjoy what we’ve got” comment comes across like she is advising people to enjoy what they have which sounds like someone who is quite optimistic/looking on the bright side of what they get from life no matter how bad? So really it should be something like “shut up and put up with what we’ve got” which suits what you have described.

Senshi attacks

If you mean energy in the natural energy that people have I think that would be fine! So her powers would make people lethargic or tired, weak or loss of stamina etc, these could be the different flavors if you wanted? Or did you just mean the “flavor” of that person? I say this because she wouldn’t be able to tell the same person if they were in uniform as an agent and then as a civilian (why she would attack a civilian I don’t know!) but that would cross into the realms of her being able to tell who people were through their glamor. So it would work if she could taste a strawberry flavor with Lt Sock, but he had a different banana flavor as plain old Bob.

Would a person be able to dodge the attack if they wanted to?

I think the “Fine meal” may be a little too strong with the three effects, pick two and it should be ok for the upgrade of “Just a nibble”.

I do like the Eternal attack as if brings about the possibility that if she uses it she is possibly hurting her fellow allies which would do more harm than good in some cases! Saying that I think I think 3 minutes is an awful long time to feel woozy and this should be reduced to 1 or 2 mins max especially with the amount of people she can effect and the energy she receives from this attack.

Hope this helps!
