Name: Evangelyne Saintonge de Tristepin Nicknames: Eva, PinPin (usually by her mother) Pronouns: She/her Age: 17 Birthday: December 25th, 2004
School: OLoD
Hobbies:
Archery -- Coming from a family of archers, she was practically born with a bow in her hand. Since she was old enough Eva's been learning the way of the bow and is the top ranked in her family, managing to surpass her mother even. She's also the only one to use a recurve bow, many preferring the use of a crossbow or compound.
Drawing -- In her spare time, Eva likes to doodle in notebooks and tell fantastic stories of brave adventurers out on epic quests. The stories are mostly made up of drawings, mimicking children's books designs. Though they are anything but.
Parkour/Gymnastics -- What had started with gymnastic classes in her early years turned into a love of parkour later on in life. She has a bad habit of putting herself in places she shouldn't be and likes to use the heights she inevitably gets into to see how good her archery skills are.
Pros:
You can't take the sky from me.Lionhearted -- Eva is the spitting image of her father, both in looks and personality. Courage and determination ring true in her heart and she holds on to those fiercely. Squaring her shoulders, Eva will face anything before her or die trying. And if she loses? She's never one to give up, she'll just smile in the face of darkness and give it another go.
For king and country.Steadfast -- Like a brave knight, Eva is loyal and dependable to those that are hers; friends and family alike. She will do anything and everything she can to assist them, which explains why she cares so much for her sister despite how little they get along. She can be counted on in a pinch, the one to be called in the middle of the night to provide a ride home or even a place to crash.
Me, Myself, and I.Self-Reliant -- Living in a rather matriarchal family with a mother who is often absent due to work and traveling (and no father), Eva learned that it was easier for her mother to focus on only one of her children. And if she was going to focus on any of her children Eva thought it best that she focus solely on Cleophee, as she was the youngest.
This meant that Eva had to grow up a bit sooner then she may have been ready for but it was worth it to make things easier for her mother. Eva was quick to become mindful of the time, to get herself to school and home on time so as to not cause worry, making sure her homework was always finished on time, or even keeping up on chores or other tasks without needing to be reminded by either her mother or the baby sitter.
Even now she keeps that same mentality, of relying on herself to get things done, and doesn't often ask for help if she can help it. The house is kept clean, home work is done nightly and never slacked on, and so on. She doesn't need help, she can get this. That doesn't mean she won't accept help if given to her, but she doesn't really go and do the asking. Now if only people would stop telling her how mature she is for her age, that would be great.
Cons:
Did I do that??Reckless -- Ever the match to her father, Eva also managed to get her father's recklessness too. She doesn't mean to mean to just go barging into situations that usually require forethought and planning, she just has a bad habit of leaping before looking and not really thinking of how it's going to effect herself or others. Especially when it comes to the people in her care/her loved ones.
If you don't ask, you'll never know.Reserved -- Eva doesn't really like to talk about herself. She'll give you information you ask for but don't get mad if she fails to tell you something about her that you didn't ask about. She also doesn't like to talk about her feelings, or really in general. She's happier to just be a part of a group doing the talking and listening to them. This often makes her appear aloof, though really she isn't.
I just want to belong...Emotional Insecurity -- She also doesn't always know how to react to negative comments about being too reckless or that she seems so aloof because she's not very open about herself. Some times she can get angry and lash out, other times she tends to just close off more and isolate herself. Having being forced to mature before she was probably ready to means she finds herself feeling like an outsider with no real way to connect to others.
Notes of interest:
Eva's family is French on both sides and she was raised to read and speak both French and English. Her mother (Elely) is from France, as is her father's family though her father had been born in the states. Which was where the two met. Her mother is a well known archer and participated in many archery contests growing up. She travels back and forth between the states and France to help run the family business, which produces bows and runs competitions which her mother often judges. Eva's sister, Cleophee, is currently living and attending school in France. Eva prefers it this way as the two don't really get along. Cleo is seven years younger then Eva. Her mother's maiden name is Saintonge, her father's last name was de Tristepin. Instead of them picking one they went with both. She usually goes by Saintonge as it doesn't sound as weird as de Tristepin. Eva's father, Pipoune, passed away just a year after Cleo was born. Ccent/perfume: Honeysuckle, Bulgarian rose, night blooming jasmine, sweet clove, cedarwood, black tea, and nectarine.
General Appearance
Eva has pale blonde☗ (#f6e794) hair, half-shaved on one side, while the rest falls in natural waves on the other side.
Her eyes are almond shaped and narrow, and the color of the sea☗ (#00ffcd). Her face heart shaped, with a small nose and not so full lips. She's fair skinned with a smattering of freckles on her face.
At 5'7", she's built like an elfin archer; willowy and a bit on the smaller side when it comes to feminine assets.
Eva is not a dress person and that really sums her up a lot. Her usual style is jeans (boot cut or skinny leg depending on the shoes) or shorts, sneakers or boots and usually a tank top. She does occasionally wear over sized hoodies or tunic tops but it's all about functionality in regards to archery and parkour. That's not to say she doesn't own fancier clothing, she just doesn't find function in them. If she is forced to wear a dress for any sort of thing, it has to have a slit in one (or both) side(s) or be shorter and flowing or she finds herself feeling trapped with in her own clothing. Though she owns several pair, she is horrible in heels and it's a wonder she hasn't broken her neck yet.
Uniform Color: A Sailor Soldier will always start out with WHITE as a base color, no matter what! In addition to that they may have two additional colors. Ideally, these colors should compliment each other, but otherwise tell us what they are!
Collar -- Basic collar, blue. Brooch -- Round, a blue stone set into black gunmetal with a white smoke plume in it. Chest Bow -- CC - gunmetal Bodice -- White, corset like design. Bottoms -- Skirt, CC. Tiara -- This shape, though in solid gunmetal, with a blue stone in place of the purple one. Butt Bow -- CC - blue
Sailor Scout Attack: White Smoker! Range: 5ft Time: Baten Kaitos’s post begins the crack and the gusher of water that divides her from the target. The target’s next post is then blocked by the wall of hot, mineral-rich water. The target may choose to be blocked for longer than a single post if it suits the role-play. Usage: 3x
Clapping her hands, Baten Kaitos immediately touches them to the ground and a thin line forms in the ground much like a crack. Up from the crack comes a wall of water, 10 feet in width, that separates Kaye and the target. From the middle of the wall comes a plume of white tinted water obscuring the visions of both Kaye and the target. If the target tries to make their way through they are met with a blast of hot water that stings and irritates the eyes because of its salty and mineral rich content!
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Black Smoker! Range: 10ft Time: Baten Kaitos’s post begins the crack and the gusher of water that divides her from the target. The target’s next post is then blocked by the wall of hot, mineral-rich water. The target may choose to be blocked for longer than a single post if it suits the role-play. Usage: 3x
Clapping her hands, Baten Kaitos immediately touches them to the ground and a thin line forms in the ground much like a crack. From the crack three chimney-like structures of super-heated black smokey water in a line separating Baten Kaitos and the target and obscuring their vision. If the target, or another senshi, tries to go through the water they run the risk of being burned/feeling the sensation of first degree (similar to a sunburn, red and tender to the touch) to mild second degree burns (red and tender to the touch, often including raised blisters).
Eternal Sailor Attack: Loki's Castle! Range: 15ft radius Time: Baten Kaitos’s post begins the crack and the gusher of water that divides her from the target. The target’s next two posts are then blocked by the wall of hot, mineral-rich water. The target may choose to be blocked for longer than a single post if it suits the role-play. Usage: 1x
Clapping her hands, Baten Kaitos immediately touches them to the ground and a thin line forms in the ground much like a crack. The line moves and encircles any target in an area no bigger then 15 ft. From the line five chimney-like structures of super-heated black smokey water surround the target obscuring their vision of what's going on around them. The target is effectively trapped until the attack ends, as the water is well over boiling point and trying to flee through it could result in burns/feeling the sensation of possible second to third degree burns.
When and where were you awakened 1 year ago while she was in France for an archery competition and to visit family.
What have you been doing for the past year? Mostly continuing her studies, she's eager to finish her schooling and take up archery contests full time until she can figure out what she wants to do with herself. Though she does enjoy using her new found abilities for some late night, powered up parkour.
And no other city compares to her home town of Mayet for that sort of fun. Though she is sad she didn't try using her abilities to and climb the Eiffel Tower.
Thank you for importing your senshi here into By Moonlight!
A little feedback for you!
For Civ - Self Reliant - this reads slightly more as ‘Maternal’ or even ‘family oriented’, which would be a wonderful merit in and of itself.
However! If you’d like to stick with ‘Self reliant’ - perhaps calling out other skills would bring that closer to home! Perhaps she’s always mindful of the time, on top of her homework, and takes care of her own duties without needing a reminder. Being able to take care of the tasks she needs to without outside reminders would really ring home that she is able to take care of herself! If it’s simply that she’s picking up around areas a babysitter can’t cover, and that they don’t have a housekeeper for, it reads more as a duty, rather than who she is at heart!
Reckless - the last line about accidentally putting an arrow in someone - reads less as ‘reckless’ and far more as ‘careless’. - Generally speaking at least in ranges that I’ve been part of there are shouts regarding if anyone is down the range. and while the shooters are so focused they have some awareness of what they are shooting. If this is a particular part of her history you want to call out, consider that Reckless might not quite be the flaw for it? If she knew they were there and shot anyways - that would read more as ‘reckless’ to me!
Reticent: I think you almost have this one, when I think of Reticent I think of someone who’s more unwilling to reveal their thoughts, or things about their life. I’d say perhaps you want “reserved” as she’s willing to share -if- people ask!
Emotional Insecurity - I’m only going to mention anything here because it ties directly to the previously mentioned ‘self reliant’ - if you don’t change it to Maternal, or even Family oriented this might need a glance over! Perhaps she feels less secure about her feelings because she feels like she can only rely on herself? Otherwise this is wonderful!
Additionally - you could remove self reliant and emotional insecurity - and still remain balanced (not that removing them would make them any less a part of her personality, but that the other Pros/Cons stand up well!).
—
Powered side.
White Smoker! - A few things here! - Hydrothermal vents are quite -hot- rather than cold! Most are superheated by Lava at various distances from the surface! White Smokers do tend to be cooler because the water drawn into them has to come further back to the ocean floor, which also determines some of the minerals that emerge (thus making it a black or white smoker)
While your visual effects here are spot on - the Cold, and the presence of liquid Carbon Dioxide don’t really fit the Sphere chosen! Additionally, Liquid Carbon Dioxide would be extremely harmful, including such hazards as frostbite at touch.
Steam that blocks the view is a fantastic start though!
Perhaps something like this!
Clapping her hands, Kaye immediately touches them to the ground and a thin line forms in the ground much like a crack. Up from the crack comes a wall of water, 10 feet in width, that separates Kaye and the target. From the middle of the wall comes a plume of white tinted water obscuring the visions of both Kaye and the target. If the target tries to make their way through they are met with a blast of hot water that stings and irritates the eyes because of its salty and mineral rich content! Range: 5 Duration: Baten Kaitos’s post begins the crack and the gusher of water that divides her from the target. The target’s next post is then blocked by the wall of hot, mineral-rich water. The target may choose to be blocked for longer than a single post if it suits the role-play. Usage: 3x
Your second attack is great, obscuring the vision and causing the risk of burns. - You may wish to add in mild verbiage about the danger of these burns. First-Degree can be something like sunburn - red, tender to the touch. Second-degree can include raised blisters, so even if it’s just a feeling of being burned, it’s incredibly intense.
I would give it a similar ‘post-based’ time mechanic for clarity.
For Loki’s Castle - I would say that the usage should be dropped to singular. Consider this to be your ‘ultimate power move’ - it’s going to be quite dangerous as it is!
It’s worth noting that third-degree burns are incredibly painful, instinct alone would prevent anyone from escaping from this attack. Especially as you’d be combining the feeling of a third-degree burn, with the sensation of water well above boiling point. Even approaching that sort of heat would be hard on an instinctual level. After all, even if it’s a small area that is burned to a third-degree, there is very little about it that will feel ‘mild’ - it's a wonderful deterrent.
Like before I’d suggest a ‘post count’ based time mechanic, perhaps suggesting a 2 post count for anyone trapped - with a potential that the person trapped may choose to be trapped ‘longer’ if it suits.
It’s also excellent research to nod to the northernmost cluster of black-smoker hydrothermal vents!
Okay, I think I covered/ changed everything I needed to? Let's try this again emotion_bigheart
