User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.Name: Norubi "Nori" Tackat

    Tiburón - reverse of the Spanish word for Shark
    the name being based off a Spanish term has nothing to do with her other than me just trying to find out a cool name LOL "oTL
    ↳ Nori is a Japanese seaweed

    Tack At - anagram of Attack
    whispers SHARK ATTACK


Blood colour:
    Blueblood, specifically #191F65 ▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄


Gender:
    Female


Symbol:
    Fishbone BRAH


Personality:
    Norubi spends most of her time traipsing through the surrounding flora and landscape around her shack. Growing up as a highblood afforded her a life of leisure and the luxury to take life at her own pace, yet Nori is nothing but bloodthirsty for activity. In her spare time she can be found hunting, swimming, and harassing Sharkdad, a pasttime that is probably not the smartest idea given the potential negative side-effects, but she does it anyways. Growing up around Sharkdad is probably the exact reason Nori finds herself so drawn to physical activity and engagements. One probably wouldn't even be surprised to know that she has something of a...mouth fetish. Anyone who happens to get into a wrestling match with her will find themselves walking away with more than a few bruises as she gnaws her way to victory.

    Taking a step outside of her sanctuary, Nori finds her passion in a hunting of a different sort. Dreams of taking her prowess to the highest bidder, this blueblood is already aware of her interest in following in her lusus' footsteps; where he is the apex predator of the seas, she wishes to be his counterpart on land. Prowling Alternia for her next target, she yearns for the moment where she can step outside of being just a securer for Sharkdads appetite and a true huntress. Lurking in the ferns and greenery around her home, she enjoys the hunt, the fear, and the battle.

    When she isn't looking for her next target, Norubi still finds herself on the hunt for people worth her attention. While she could care less about the color of their blood, she is more interested in their prowess or usefulness to her. As a young troll, nothing will gain her respect more than your ability to assert dominance through battle. Nothing binds two trolls together more than shedding blood, sweat, and tears in her opinion and those who can't hold their own when they go toe to toe are worthless in her opinion; a target to be the next sacrifice to Sharkdad.

    Having Norubi acknowledge trolls on a hemospectrum instead of a worthspectrum is actually much harder than one would think. You could be the purplest purple to exist and if you whimper at the sight of a cochroach, you might as well have been born a red blood. Or better yet, culled. However, when faced with sad baby purp's Norubi is very much aware of her place if she were to openly antagonize or attack someone from a higher place in the specturm and defers to contemptuously hating them and all they stand for.


Strengths:
    Passionate
    Everything Nori does, she does with a passion. From sharpening her weapons, to going on a run, to arguing with Sharkdad, Nori throws her all into it. It takes a lot to turn this cynical female into backing off something she has set her mind to and is truly an example of dedication.

    Analytical
    Raised under Sharkdads tutelage, Nori possesses the focus of a trained hunter, where analyzing situations is a part of her second nature. Tying into her cynical nature, she picks up on her surroundings and the interactions she has with every troll. Reading their body language, she figures out the honest people from the liars, the weak links from the titans. Though she enjoys getting up close and personal with her prey when it gets physical, no one is really safe from her tongue at any distance.


Flaws:
    Inconsiderate
    Norubi oftentimes finds herself having frustrated, angered, or pissed off some troll because of her careless attitude when it comes to their wants and needs. In Nori's vocabulary there is only achieve or achieve greater and she rarely needs you to accomplish one or the other. Working together towards the same goal or purpose you may very well find her the best teammate you could ask for, but if you become useless to her or get in the way of her own success, she will discard you like trash.

    Cruel
    Mincing her words was never something Nori was very good at. Sharkdad was savage in his upbringing of her and that is all she ever knew. Compliments are alien to her, weakness isnot an option, and pleasantries are a waste of time. It takes a tough skin to hang around her and she will rip into you if you cross her...or even if you just exist.


Weapon:


Appearance:
    A bit under average height for your typical troll, Nori exudes a taller person with her dorsal fin of hair, capped with two horns shaped like that of fishbones and surrounded by short waves of hair, like an angry sea during a storm. Garbed in a short and simple ao dai paired with dark blue, wave patterned shorts, Nori favors simplistic beauty as she wraps up her outfit with a thick rope tied at the waist.


Home:
    Located in a secret cove a short ways off from Civisect, Nori set-up her Hive at the edge of the beach, up against the local fauna. A comfortable log shack with many open windows, lots of natural lighting, and a hammock, Nori appreciates the quiet away from the city and the peacefulness that comes with it. When she isn't hunting, you can find her traipsing through the local hillsides and greenery or out on the beach, relaxing on the sand or diving through the waves.


Lusus:
    Sharkdad, or Mister Shark when she's feeling particularly sassy, is Nori's Lusus in charge. Part shark, part walrus, the Lusus is a force of nature in the seas surrounding their home. Lurking under the waves, Sharkdad possess a bloodlust for that of other trolls. Devouring creatures of the sea with the occassional landdwelling treat, brought to him courtesy of Nori, he is always on the hunt. Their relationship seems to be one of copacetic benefaction, yet entirely independent. Nori idealizes Sharkdad for his strength, ferocity, and dominance of his territory, while Sharkdad loves Nori for her attitude and determination. Each provides the other with food, though begrudingly from Nori and only under extreme circumstance should Sharkdad's hunting end up scarce. In the times that Nori refuses, it is not uncommon to find him breach land and chase her around in his frustration, resulting in many of the shallow scars along her calves and thighs; his version of "beatings".

    Ultimately neither would ever want anything mortal to happen to the other and Sharkdad does not tolerate the slightest infraction against his baby troll. While they can go days without talking to each other, each doing their own thing and hunting, they are never apart for long. Many days you can even find Nori riding along the back of her Lusus through the sea and across the waves. As being relatively high on the hemospectrum, Sharkdad teaches Nori that nothing is safe from their dominance and all can fall prey to their power.

    NOTE;; Sharkdad and Nori are only to prey on NPCs for solos/battles/etc. and never on a owners property without prior plotting and agreement. Was meant for a different attitude/element, but I will totally understand if this is not an agreeable outcome and can modify it to him just preying on beasts and the like. Or perhaps modify him to a Sharkpug L O L


Power:

Hey hey! Norubi is shaping up to be a really fun character.
Even if a highblood doesn’t care about the hemospectrum, there are situations that they will have to react to and have opinions about. What does Norubi think about others who follow the caste system? Does she respect the authority of those above her, or take advantage of her station when those below her are more keen on fearing or being obedient to highbloods? Being a highblood she has a great deal of privilege, so what she thinks about it and what she does with it can inform a lot about her character that I’m missing right now. Whether or not she cares about it, it’ll still affect her.

Also note: Seadwellers are royalty, and are also quite rare. Eating seadwellers is going to get you noticed and culled so while this is hypothetically possible it shouldn’t be a common occurrence. There’s plenty of precedent for feeding big critters/trolls to lusii (and we do have trolls that kill other trolls), you just need to be mindful of, uhh… Quantity and quality of the prey. Glad to know you’re thinking about this though.

I’m also curious about the idea that she’ll hold your darkest secrets and demolish your foes, but will turn around and leave when things don’t go her way. What if one of her friends had a secret that was opposing her self-interest? Her cynicism and keeping friends for “amusement” makes it seem like she doesn’t form social connections, and is a fair weather friend, so what does she care about their secrets or enemies? Overall, I’m not convinced that she’s trustworthy with the information I’ve been given, and I’d like to know more about what her relationship is with others in general.

As it stands currently, blunt is not reading as a flaw. She’s a highblood and can get away with speaking her mind, and telling people what you think of them can often be a very useful skill to have. You might want to reconsider using this as a flaw, but if you were to keep it I would suggest expanding it to negatively affect her in a more significant (or persistent) way.

Cynical is also reading as a neutral trait, because it’s not necessarily harming her. She’s using her cynicism to survive and move forward in her life, and if not caring about people is helping her this isn’t much of a flaw. In fact, cynicism could be wrapped up more elegantly into her “rejects assistance” trait, BUT: you need to make sure that her rejecting assistance is something that affects her regularly. Saying that “eventually, she will meet a time when resistance to assistance is futile” shows that the negative aspect of it is much too situational.
