Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Keely Turner

Nickname: Kee, pronounced as Key, for short.

Age: 21

Birthday: June 15th

Sign: Gemini

Gemstone: Pearl

Blood Type: O

Fav. Food: Street food and what you get from the food trucks, it's fast and easy and typically (especially from the trucks) very good.

Hated Food: Anything fancy. It's typically too small and just takes too long for too little.

School: Destiny City University, she's going for general liberal arts for now. She'll decide on a major later.

Hobbies:
Rock climbing There is a nice indoor place where she can go and climb inside, in a nice warm building, and while she does this it just isn't as satisfying as going out into the outdoors and climbing some rocks and reaching the top. No made made hand holds or anything else it's all her own strength and ability to stretch to get a hold on that ledge and pull herself up. It's thrilling to accomplish such a thing but when it's too cold, the weather is bad, or she just can't get away she will go to the indoor place and climb for hours.

Gym/Yoga: She has to keep in shape and keep herself flexible doesn't she? With all the climbing she does she needs strong arms and they don't come from just climbing - nope! She hits the gym and even a local yoga studio to keep herself fit and flexible so she can climb and reach those hand holds with ease. it doesn't hurt that she enjoys the gym and while the yoga instructor is some soft spoken sissy, in her opinion, she finds the place enjoyable and most of the people aren't bad either. She just wonders if the instructor always speaks in such a damn soft voice and is always in some gentle love everything and everyone, sunshine and rainbows, sort of person. If so...ick.

Adrenaline rush: That is to say she will try anything once from base jumping to jumping from a plane, she has jumped form a plane and loved it. She enjoys a good rush of adrenaline and perhaps could even be called an adrenaline junkie, not that she considers herself to be such. But she really enjoys the things which really get a persons adrenaline going and are thrilling. Who cares about boring things like basketball, soccer, lacrosse, cheer leading and such? They are so common and boring, at least to her. She means no disrespect to those who love them, and get a rush from them, but they just don't do it for her. She really needs more money, a better job, so she can do more of these things as they cost money - so sad.



Virtues:
Take charge: Keely is the sort to take charge when she doesn't see other people doing so. If there is a team and no one is clearly leading she will step forward and take charge and lead things as best she can. She is good at giving orders and organizing things, she really is. She might push the group to finish things ahead of schedule, or to finish things quickly (which may mean a slight sacrifice in quality), but she doesn't like to spend so much time on things which she deems as boring - she wants to get them done and over with.

Problem solver: Got a problem, need help? Keely can help you and often times she can come up with a solution to a problem presented to her in a rather quick amount of time. The problem is...well the solution may not always be the best but it will get the job done, and quickly too! She's good at coming up with solutions on the fly as that's how she sort of runs her whole life, with things often being quick and susceptible to change.

Positive: It's raining and you were supposed to go hiking? Oh well, time to find something else to do that's indoors! Planning to go to the beach but you don't have a bathing suit or it's not warm enough out? Simple, go to an indoor water park and quickly go out and buy a swimsuit, even if you don't like it (just use it the one time). There is no reason to let a day be spoiled because one, or a few, things don't go perfectly. Nothing is perfect and thus you need to just smile and find a solution to the bumps in the road. It's not that hard if you don't let those bumps bother you. Keely is good at this. She's not like that sissy yoga instructor she has, not by a long shot, but she does know that it's good to enjoy life and not let something get you down - ever!


Flaws:
Never finish: She likes to get herself into things - lots of things. The problem is that she doesn't seem to finish many of the things she starts or gets involved in. It's not that she doesn't mean to finish things - she does! It's just that she has a lot on her plate and so many things to do - like the gym and rock climbing and oh god she has yoga in an hour! She has a rather packed schedule most of the time and thus finding the time to finish things is a difficult, if not impossible, thing for her. It's not anything important, at least to most people, but she has certain times she goes to the gym and yoga is a class so she has to go at a certain time there. So she winds up often starting something and having to run to something else and never returns to the previous thing - she just keeps moving on forward.

Rush, rush, rush: Stop and smell the roses...why? It's boring, they are just roses. Keely doesn't like to slow down and savor things because that is boring, and it's not living life. Her opinion is that people only live once and you are constantly marching toward not just dying but aging and becoming weaker and more frail - unable to do things. So there is a very limited amount of time in which to do all the things you want to and enjoy life, to explore and do exciting things! So why stop and smell the roses when you could be jumping out of a plane, base jumping, snow boarding, arranging to go on a vacation to do some other extreme thing? It just means she is constantly i na state of movement with her thoughts all over the place, on the next time and the thing after that and the thing after that. Sometimes it's a bit hard to keep up with her thoughts, and plans, but if slowed down she can be understood easily.

Rude: She's not intentionally rude, she's honestly a nice person, it's just that she's in a rush and racing her aging self and that's not a race she'll win but she'll keep on trying! She can't help that she doesn't have time to hold the door for you, she tried you were just too slow, and she's sorry you expected her to pick up what you dropped but she has somewhere to be - honest! She does at least remember to say please and thank you but that's honestly about it. It's not a lack of manners, honestly, it's just that she's busy and doesn't take the time to really consider other people as much as she should. It's because of this, and because she sometimes might butt into other peoples business in passing, that she can come off as rather rude and straightforward with people.



PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Eyes: Like a sky blue, or pale blue.

Hair: Red right now but it's been dyed due to a lost bet. She's naturally a brunette.

Face: It's a face...she doesn't pay any mind to the shape of her face. (It's heart shaped)
Clothes: Casual and comfortable. She's the sort to wear jeans and a tank top, a t-shirt and jeans. Yoga pants and a t-shirt or tank top. If she has to wear something more, cause it's cold, it's a hoodie or sweatshirt over a tank top or a leather coat (with lining if need be). She doesn't do dress up.

Hey Sleet! Congrats on winning your Castor Page of Gorner!

Now then I have a few concerns I'd like to address so we can get her ready for a stam. While I was reading Keely's profile I noticed that there's some contradictory traits and a virtue that reads on the negative side. The traits I'm looking at are Suck it up (Virtue) and Never Finishes (Flaw). Both of these traits would be fine on their own, but when combined in a profile they are reading as a bit contradictory. In Suck it up, it feels like she is the sort to finish any project out of obligation, but in Never Finishes it feels like she will abandon a task.

Because of this, I was wondering which of the two traits you felt most represented the character you want to play: her being constantly in a rush to finish everything (quantity over quality) or not finishing what she starts because she has too much to do at one time and/or burns out on what she works on. Depending on which option you go with, I may have some extra feedback!

For example, if you want to stick with Suck it Up, I noticed that the trait also includes a lot of negative connotation and sort of detracts from making this trait a virtue. If you want to keep Suck it up, it might be easier to just focus on how she can push through things and won't give up on anything/anyone--or just flesh it out a bit more to help shine some positive light on it! If you wanted to keep this trait, you could also just remove the negative part at the end about her rushing through things and maybe use that as a replacement fla. You could replace 'Never Finisihes' with that and just expand on it and that should work!

If you want to keep the 'Never Finishes' flaw instead of the 'Suck it Up' Virtue, that would be fine! I am more than happy to help find alternative virtues to replace that if you'd like some assistance!

Let me know which route you'd like to take and I'd more than happy to help where needed to get her fixed up for a stamp!

That looks fantastic thank you for fixing that my dear!

Now, I do apologize ever so much because I missed this when I was focusing on your character's profile but could you do a little word tweaking for Gorner's magic, for me; just to show that her magic is coming from her pool of magic? It's something that since it's knight mechanics needs to have a focus on, even if it's as simple as "up to thirty seconds" and we'll have her stamped as soon as you quote me back. Again I do apologize.

Sweet! Thank you so much~ A GM will be by soon!
