Name: Yolanda Galanis Nicknames: Yolie, Vio, or Violante; the latter two aspply to 'guy days' Pronouns: She/Her, They/Them, or He/him - Yolie/Vio is genderfluid Age: 20 Birthday: 3 June
Occupation: Yolie works at a little bakery and tea room called the Smiling Cat.
Hobbies:
Baking -- Yolie likes baking. For fun, not just for a job. She's actually great at it too -- brownies, Rugalach, croissants, cakes -- she makes a lot of different dishes and these in turn don't last long when shared. It's Yolie's little way of saying 'I love you' and/or 'Yoiu're my friend'. If you leave hungry, it's your fault.
SCA Heavy Fighting -- Yolie, like the rest of her family, has a flair for the dramatic. For Yolie, this feeds into the SCA, where they all just go nuts. Yolie, for her part, likes heavy fighting. It's carthic and relaxing and she enjoys the challenge of beating her brothers in tournaments like a hack. She's good at it, though, and it makes her happy, even when she loses. It's meant to be fun and friendly and that's how she likes things!
Reptiles -- Yolie likes reptiules. While she prefers snakes she has a small number of pet reptiles -- specifically, a bearded dragon named Chocolate and a boa named Seiryuu. She adores her pets and she's happy to volunteer her reptiles as educational animal ambassadors when needed, especially Seiryuu. While it's not many, they're her darling babies and she loves them.
Pros:
"My father told me when I was just a child..."Family-Oriented -- The youngewst of 6 kids, Yolie's used to busy houses and harried siblings running about, even if she and one of her brothers don't exactly share mothers with some of their other brothers. As a whole Yolie loves her siblings, and her parents, and carefully considers her family's feelings before doing something, even if they don't always agree or like her. She tries to please them and relishes time with them, and makes sure others know she puts family first, in whatever form family takes.
"It's actually pretty easy to get along with a bitter boy like him..."Friendly to All -- Yolie likes everybody. This is a candid fact because she's genuinely open and friendly with everyone she meets at first and she's largely happy making friends everywhere she can. A friendly face can always make a difference, small or big, and Yolie's very happy to be your friend. Where she has limits as we all do, they're only clear if she's provoked long enough into a fight, a fact not unknown. She'd rather make friends though, over anyt5hing else.
"I'm no hero, and I'm not made of stone!"Honorable -- Yolie is the type some might call honorable. She's dependable, trustworthy, and loyal, and knows when to do right, wrong, or hold her tongue or deeds. She is aware of how her actions affects others and remains cognisant of her own surroundings, others' needs, and her own shortcomings or situation so as to hold fast to her own values. It's not easy, even if it comes naturally, but Yolie manages it all the same, and even if her opponents don't like her, they can admit she's a fair, decent opponent.
Cons:
"Don't you wanna get away from the same old part you got to play?"Theatric -- Yolie comes from a family of theatric dorks. Some are in theatre, some are drtamatic enough to be in theatre. Yolie could do well in theatre, and falls thus into the latter camp. She's sometimes very over-the-top with bad news, or people angry at her; if you let her go long enough in some public situations, she'll start monologuing. She's not as bad as her brothers but she's still a theatric pill at times, that needs to be reminded to chill.
"You were the grace that placed yourself where lives were torn apart."Puts self second -- Kindness, gentlemess, and compassion have their place and human goodness is all well and good, but it can go too far. Yolie will quickly burn herself out if left imattemded in a bad situation -- she'll take a lot of abuse she shouldn't trying to prove she won't fight, and provoking her to defend herself is a long, onerous process. She's not 'too stupid' to fight back, or suicidal -- she genuinely thinks that taking more abuse in ant form is helping the other person, and she very rarely puts herself first, purely because she desperately wants to help.
"I am special I am happy I am gonna heave!"Dislikes sharing feelings -- Yolie's afraid to share negative emotions. She hates being a burden or laying her problems on others' plates, even if asked. It's nigh impossible to get her to do with without being incessant in prodding the truth out of her or being someone she's very, very close to, like her father. Aside that, good luck unless you somehow dragged another emotion out. It's genuinely no insult, but she gets anxious and fearful of being abandoned if she's honest about her feelings, and that in turn leaves her, more often than not, faking her smile until it's real.
(Again, you may have as many as you'd like here... But we ask that you have at least two.)
General Appearance
Yolie is tall for a girl, around 6'2, and with cool undertones to her pale skin. Her face is full, with very high cheekbones, thick lashes, and blue eyes. She has full lips and a [uurl=https://i.pinimg.com/736x/b0/97/a3/b097a32b1d7128a5635edea9978e6f6f.jpg]roman nose with long white hair down to her midback with her bangs grown out to brush in, however the front of her hair lays on her shoulders. Yolie is muscular under a chubby layer that's respectable, and she ranges in clothing styles from cute girly clothing to masculine clothing to androgynous for both mood and gender. Yolie favors function over form, and warm, neutral, or dark tones accented with golds.
Yolie and a little art is on my Toyhouse! I can also upload more as needed. The far left image has her usual hairstyle/build but I can upload another one. |D I lack references for white hair though. That's a recent tweak...
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!
This is JUST for your base stage. At the base stage Sailor Soldiers typically have a considerable amount in common given the simplicity of their uniforms. Their individuality comes into play between Super and Eternal, so please keep in mind that this is your BASIC design.
Collar -- CC, worked into design. Brooch -- A ruby base, set with serpent scales in gold? I'm so bad at these. /_It's the same as used for the chakra: Linked again for convenience Chest Bow -- CC, worked into her fuku design. Bodice -- I'm bad with fukus so I'll link some things and you can play with it because I likely will HATE what I design. Also I'm an indecisive pill. u_u Bottoms -- Skirt! Of some kind! I warned you about my design skills. Make it fancy? Tiara -- A circlet of thin silver with a single white pearl between her eyebrows. Butt Bow -- Worked into the skirt design? Bustle maybe? Go nuts?
Accessories -- I rlly like her boots and gloves in alternate reality land but I'm not married to the boots idea. I'd like very much to see tiny hair beads and pearls and if fur is added, furs along a siulver or silver/white vibe, who knows. I'm kind of loose because nnngah. Design.
Notes: Adding this. This is CC but I have some aesthetics to draw from, both in keywords and visuals. I'm... Trying, I'm seriously unsure how to redesign for this sphere. LINKS TO VIEWS and her super art, which was a MYO growing (Sigh.)
Attacks: Think of these as the 'magic spells' that your Sailor Soldier has to use in battle. These attacks should fit with the theme of your senshi and flow accordingly.
Sailor Scout Attack: Naga's Blessing
Sailor Dubhe speaks the words of her attack and the ethereal form of a lavender-morph hognose naga rises behind her. Together they raise their hands, lowering them to call down a gentle rain over an ally up to five feet away. The rain causes an instant healing effect that can mend minor cuts, scrapes and bruises, it also evaporates immediately once the healing is complete. May be used 3 times per day.
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Naga's Sublime Blessing
Super Sailor Dubhe speaks the words of her attack and the ethereal form of a lavender-morph hognose naga rises behind her. Together they raise their hands, lowering them to call down a gentle rain over an ally up to ten feet away. The rain causes an instant healing effect that can mend slightly more serious cuts, scrapes and bruises, it also evaporates immediately once the healing is complete. May be used 3 times per day.
(I boosted the attack up to 10ft and added on a bit more healing capabilities than the first round.)
Eternal Sailor Attack: Naga's Confounding Coils
Eternal Sailor Dubhe motions as if holding a snake before a reticulated python naga appears. The naga launches at a foe up to fifteen feet away and coils around them like a constrictor, restricting movement with their tail. The target remains bound for 30 seconds (up to two posts) before the naga disappears harmlessly.
The spell can be interrupted by the bound target being pried free of the naga, and the naga brings no harm to them. This attack can be cast once per day.

When and where were you awakened A year ago, and she's still confused.
What have you been doing for the past 1 year? Dubhe has been trying to figure out how to sneak out to patrol when her brother and father live in the same house and might hear her power. So... Working, powering in gross dirty alleyways, and trying to help people. Otherwise Yolie works too much.
What stage would you like to start at? 1. She'd benefit.
Please provide us with a link to your Alternate Universe journal so that we can confirm you are importing your character.AU as Yolie Hydrus. Hurrah alternate reality/many worlds/MULTIVERSE THEORIES!

Hello, hello! Thank you for your interest in bringing Dubhe into By Moonlight! A few quick things to review before we get her approved to move forward--
Civ side - Looks good! All clear here!
Powered side --
We've got two suggestions for spheres for Dubhe's powered side! The first is focusing in on one part of what Sahasrara represents and shifting her to Enlightenment and rewriting the attacks to reflect that (something that we'd be happy to help you with if you'd like!) OR swapping her sphere to Lotus, which could work with the attacks you currently have.
Let me know what you think and we can proceed from there! Quote me whenever you're ready!
One Discord chat and a look into Nagas and here we are!
Ere you go ? I actually poked at Wiki a moment for any kind of myths to use, turns out nagas in folklore aren't usually malicious to humans!... So it's all healing and disarming. XD

Wonderful! Now that we've settled on a sphere I'd like to take a look at the attacks. Based on what you have, and after doing a little digging of my own, I'd like to make a suggestion.
Some cultures believe Naga to be tied with weather/rain -- which can very much be a blessing if they are able to influence when it falls and whether or not it stops. Rain can also give and bring life in a LOT of cases. My suggestion would be to update the imagery so that instead of a kiss (which some players might not be comfortable having forced upon their character) the healing come in the form of a gentle rain? Something like:
Basic: Naga's Blessing
Sailor Dubhe speaks the words of her attack and the ethereal form of a lavender-morph hognose naga rises behind her. Together they raise their hands, lowering them to call down a gentle rain over an ally up to five feet away. The rain causes an instant healing effect that can mend minor cuts, scrapes and bruises, it also evaporates immediately once the healing is complete. May be used 3 times per day.
Super: Naga's Sublime Blessing

Together they raise their hands, lowering them to call down a gentle rain over an ally up to ten feet away. The rain causes an instant healing effect that can mend slightly more serious cuts, scrapes and bruises, it also evaporates immediately once the healing is complete. May be used 3 times per day.
(I boosted the attack up to 10ft and added on a bit more healing capabilities than the first round.)
Eternal: Naga's Binding Coils
(Again, just helping to tidy up some of the verbiage here for you!)
Eternal Sailor Dubhe motions as if holding a snake before a reticulated python naga appears. The naga launches at a foe up to fifteen feet away and coils around them like a constrictor, restricting movement with their tail.

Updated! I'm not good with some things sometimes...Like magic. XD;

CONGRATULATIONS SAILOR SOLDIER! Your character has been approved!
The Watchful Guardian found Yolie, providing them with a henshin pen and a communication device. Fortunately, Yolie hasn't had much reason or need to power up so there hasn't been much to hide... Yet. The Watchful Guardian let Yolie know that he would be in touch -- that they should keep an ear out for communications. When the time was ready, they'd know!
We would highly recommend setting up a [Powered Journal] to keep track of your role plays! Please also see the [Import Art Thread] for how to obtain your powered art.
We look forward to seeing you around Mayet!
**Please note, powered Role Play is unavailable at this time. Civilian roleplays are welcome but may not be used for growth requirements until after Powered RP is released in the shop**
