Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Seveile Linnae Maki-Marvel

Occupation: Science experiment/fashion creator

Birthday: 07.04.06

Age: PreTeen

Gender: Female

Height: Taller n' taller

Weight: Lookin' stronger

Build: "Hey there tough guy! Wanna fight!?"

Hair: multicolored and gelatinous, much like Ogalax's body. Worn in long dreadlocks that seem to move around independently. Growing longer every day it seems...

Eyes: Big. Silvery-blue, dialated some of the time.

Skin Tone: Pale---whiteish blue

Distinguishing features: Sev has butterfly antennae like Ogalax had, but she also sports a small pair of butterfly wings on her back.

Likes: bright and/or shiny things, festive colors, layers, fun clothing, McDonalds, ice cream, spicy things, sunny days, playing with (harassing) Leary

Dislikes: boring places, black and white, most vegetables, reading

Partial To: Kappa, Jera, Malas

Mate: none yet, thank god!

Personality: Seveile is a very odd preteen. She's quite happy-go-lucky when it comes to most things, but then again, things are always bright and shiny for Sev. Since Ogalax was found guilty, the court thought it appropriate to make Ogalax suffer his own crimes. So, they sent him back to Gaia as an adorable little girl, who has a little bitty problem: She's always tripping. Sev sees things differently than any of the other babies--the world is always bright and technicolored, and many times, she sees things that aren't there. For this reason, Sev always seems distracted, and it may be hard to communicate with her at first. Her pupils seem to be always dialated, and she typically has a spaced-out look on her face, as if she's looking off behind you, instead of at you.

Concept: As she grows, Sev will eventually be able to push the visions away, but it will happen slowly, and by the time she's an adult, she'll be able to get rid of them completely if she chooses to. Though most of the time the things she sees are cheerful and happy, Sev can have visions of bad things--and these bad things may sometimes actually occur outside of her visions, in real life. No one knows what causes this precognition, but perhaps we can find out...

^A pixel doll/avatar edit I made of Sev.

Sizzla: Kappa's mother. She's not exactly pleased that her young son already has a daughter, but she figures that he takes after her. She's happy to be a grandmother, and even offers to babysit on occasion. Even single dads need a break every now and then.

Ichigo Boba Tea: Ichigo is Kappa's long-time girlfriend, and a GoGo as well. She's quite the bubbly girl, but is easy to anger. Kappa may not always know what their status is, but he loves Ichigo, even if he may not seem like he does. She was a bit shocked when meeting Sev, but hopefully she comes around.

Leary: Kappa bought a multi-colored egg at a market without knowing what was really inside of it. Its colors reminded him of Sev, so he grabbed it up and brought it home. Looks like we'll see what'll come of this...

Oh look! It seems there was a baby dragon inside the egg...

From Erowid.org's Psychoactive Vaults
DESCRIPTION of LSD
LSD is one of the most commonly used 'psychedelic' or 'hallucinogenic' substance. It comes in a variety of forms, but is virtually always taken orally. Today, LSD is most commonly found in the form of small squares of paper called blotter (full sheets of paper are decorated with artwork or designs, perforated, then soaked in liquid LSD solution and dried). Other forms include, pills, gelatin sheets or shapes (pyramids, cubes, etc), liquid, liquid sugar cubes, and powder. Blotter is most common because it is easily produced, easily concealable and the format allows for few adulterant chemicals. [ Main LSD Vault ]

Dose
A standard dose of LSD for the past 20 years has been between 50 - 150 ug (micrograms). A single hit of most blotter paper contains somewhere in this range, though this varies depending on the source and there is no way for the average user to determine the strength of a piece of blotter other than by word of mouth. In the 60's and 70's, when LSD came primarily in pill form, the average single dosage unit was somewhat higher than it is with today's blotter, more often in the 200-400 ug range. A drop of liquid can contain a huge amount of LSD but is generally made so that one drop is a single medium dose.

Price
Sold by the single hit of blotter, LSD sells for $3 to $10 per hit, though it sometimes ranges as high as $25 depending on where you purchase it. Captive markets such as raves generally produce high prices while friend to friend it is often sold at cheaper prices. Less common forms of LSD sell for somewhat higher prices ($8-10 for a single hit), and as with most substances, the price goes down if you buy in bulk. Sheets of 100 hits (blotter) generally range from $1-$2 per hit. One of the more novel things about the illicit LSD market is that within the LSD using community, it is somewhat common to give single doses away to friends and acquaintences at extremely cheap prices, if not free.

Law
LSD is illegal in the United States (Schedule I) and in most other countries. It is also listed as Schedule I in the International Convention on Psychotropic Substances, an international drug control treaty.

Chemistry
d-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) is a synthetic chemical derived from ergot alkaloids which are produced by the ergot fungus which grows on rye.

Production
LSD requires an experienced organic chemist to produce. All useful synthesis methods begin with Lysergic Acid which is schudule III. It is produced in crystal form, primarily by a small number of knowledgeable chemists in fully equipped laboratories. The DEA speculates that it is produced mainly in the United States and Canada.

History
LSD was first synthesized in 1938 and discovered to be psychoactive in 1943. It became popular in the '60's and was made illegal in 1967. It has been widely available on the black market since that time.

Slang
The Substance : LSD (Lyserg-Saeure-Diaethylamid in German), acid, cid, L, blotter, tabs, LAD, doses, trips, microdots (small pills)
The Experience : tripping, flying, frying


Effects

Onset
Depending on how much and how recently one has eaten, LSD generally takes 20 - 60 minutes (though sometimes as long as 2 hrs) to take effect.

Duration
The primary effects of LSD last for 6-8 hours.. For many people there is an additional period of time (2-6 hrs) where it is difficult to go to sleep and there is definitely a noticeable difference from everyday reality, but which is not strong enough to be considered 'tripping'.

The Experience
In the beginning stages of onset, LSD is likely to cause a sort of undefineably feeling similar to anticipation or anxiety. There is often a slight feeling of energy in the body, an extra twinkle to lights, or the feeling that things are somehow different than usual. As the effects become stronger, a wide variety of perceptual changes may occur; non-specific mental and physical stimulation, pupil dilation, closed and open eye patterning and visuals, changed thought patterns, feelings of insight, confusion, or paranoia, and quickly changing emotions (happiness, fear, gidiness, anxiety, anger, joy, irritation)


PROBLEMS
LSD can precipitate strong, temporary changes in an individual's experience of life and reality. Even in low doses, it is a powerful psychoactive that can be significantly affected by experiences, set and setting. Recent experiences, especially strong ones, can have a substantial effect on a trip. Physically or psychologically unsettling events in the days before an LSD trip can blossom into more serious distress and trauma while tripping.

It is important to be prepared for the possibility of encountering difficult or frightening mental states. There are many ways of minimizing possible dangers and trauma: by making sure to have others around for first time or high dose experiences, choosing carefully when and where to use a substance, taking a little time to prepare mentally for an experience with LSD by relaxing, having an intent for the experience, or by incorporating comforting and calming ritual into the preparation (clean the house, adjust the lighting, choose music that will go with the sort of experience you're looking for,etc) Using a 'sitter', a sober friend who's job it is to watch out for you while you're tirpping can go a long way toward easing anxiety and ensuring that someone will be able to deal with any situation that might arise. It's amazing how confusing a ringing phone or a cop at the door can be if you're on LSD. Read up on the Psychedelic Crisis FAQ so you and your friends will have some idea what to do if things get difficult.

Addiction Potential
LSD is quite unlikely to lead to addiction in most people. There is no physical addiction or withdrawal after heavy use, although people can and do become mentally habituated to LSD as with any substance. There is a short period of tolerance after LSD use. Using LSD two days in a row is likely to lead to a diminished experience the second day, though spaced 3 or more days apart, this effect is nearly non-existant.

Contraindications

* Do not operate heavy machinery. Do Not Drive.

* Individuals currently in the midst of emotional or psychological upheaval in their everyday lives should be careful about choosing to use strong psychedelics such as LSD as they can trigger even more difficulty.

* Individuals with a family history of schizophrenia or early onset mental illness should be extremely careful because LSD is known to trigger latent psychological and mental problems.

* LSD can cause uterine contractions and is probably better avoided by women who are pregnant.



Guardian's Name: Kappa Maki Marvel (GoGo sushicreature)

Criminal's Name: Ogalax Myanfar Zefile

Criminal's Crime: Ogalax was definitely guilty of the crime he committed, and not only was he guilty, he was proud of his guilt!
Crime: Dressing small girls in frilly outfits and giving them hallucinogens to study their affect on child behavior. Straight up child abuse I tell you!

Name and Brief Description of Home Planet: Solanga is about five lightyears from Gaia, in the Draxoid solar system. It's the fourth planet from Lunara, the glowing blue orb that is Solanga's equivlalent to the sun.

The planet is mostly covered in water, much like Gaia, but there is actually more ocean on Solanga. Most of the creatures that live on the planet are good swimmers, or already live in the oceans. Under water, there are several settlements that have sprung up in bubble-like enclosures, so that life can go on normally. Solangans that live on land still visit the ocean regularly, and it seems they cannot stay away from it long. Historical records and anthropological studies have found that Solangans emerged from the water years ago, and for some reason, still feel the need to get back to the ocean regularly. The water seems like a force that sustains them.

One of the first things a tourist notices is the low gravity of the place. It allows everyone to bounce around, and practically fly through the air. Considering most of the residents of the planet are blobby, heavy creatures, this makes transportation much easier.

Solanga is similar to Gaia in a lot of ways. It's customs aren't much different, but it seems technology is a bit further behind Gaian technology, hence Ogalax's studies in hallucinogens.

Full Description of Criminal: Ogalax looks very much like Jabba the Hut. He's a big blobby creature, with arms and short stubby legs. Though he's not as massive as Jabba, he's still pretty...large.

His body is actually almost see through--think Jello--and he's a varied mix of colors from all shades of the rainbow. It's amazing that he can actually walk on both of his feet, considering his size. But that's what's so great about Solanga's atmosphere and gravity!

Ogalax has one turquoise eye and one dark blue eye, and he has a pair of antenna protruding from his head that look very similar to butterfly antenna.

Overall, he's a rather pretty bag of jello...

Baby's Name: Seveile Linnae Maki-Marvel

Full Description of Baby:
Hair color: Pretty much every color...It's a mix of things, but mostly bright colors.
Hair style: Longish dreadlocks, made from a strange goo that is very similar to what Ogalax's body was made of. The dreads seem to have a mind of their own, and move about constantly. Eventually, Sev will be able to control them, and use them to grab things or move things around.
Eye color: Big. Silvery-blue, dialated.
Skin color: Pale---whiteish blue
Number of eyes: 2
Number of limbs: 4 (2 arms/2 legs)
Build: A chubby baby, Sev eventually grows into her body...but as a baby, she retains some of the traits of Ogalax's build.
Wings: Shaped like small butterfly wings, in complimenting colors (I'm not picky)
Extra features: butterfly antennae

Baby's Personality: Seveile is a very odd child. She's quite happy-go-lucky when it comes to most things, but then again, things are always bright and shiny for Sev.
