PLAYER INFORMATION
NS nation nickname:

Skill Level (beginner, intermediate, advanced):

How often can you post?

CHARACTER PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS
Character Name: Dora

Character Gender: Female

Species (nation personification, human, alien, etc): Augmented human

Age: Somewhere over the 2000 mark, she stopped counting at around 300

Appearance: Long red hair with a pair of narrow matte gray streaks burned through from root to end. Gray eyes the same color as the hair streaks.

URL to Character Picture, if any: N/A, but hasn't changed much from the most recent image

Character Occupation: Conservator*

OBJECTIVES
Primary Objectives are your character's main goals. This should be the thing that drives their part of the plot. When not engaged in stories, these are what occupy your character's thoughts or keep them busy. Examples include: acting on a desire to become a powerful and respected leader; attempting to overcome some horrible thing in the past which hinders the character on a day-to-day basis; seeking to break out their shell by overcoming profound shyness (getting involved with stories); comping to terms with a major flaw that inhibits the character from reaching full potential; etc.

Secondary Objectives are minor goals. These should be an undercurrent for your character when they are engaged in stories or on their free time. Examples include: acquiring weapons and becoming proficient with each one; improving sundered relations with a companion; improving their reading comprehension; mastering news spells; researching a cure for a plague; etc.

Objectives such as "making friends" or "finding love" are NOT acceptable. Please put much though into your character's objectives - they are what flesh out your character and one of the most important aspects necessary to portray the character as 3D.

Primary Objective: Discover more about the world(s) surrounding Bielefeld, the Island, and parts unknown, and help to build these up.

Secondary Objectives: TBD

MUNDANE SKILLS
These do NOT require points. These are the average, daily things your character can do. Examples are "drive a car", "speak one Foreign Language", "play a guitar", "write poetry". Some mundane skills come from your bio and are freebie. A soldier has gone through Basic training. However, Medic, martial arts or sniper would be a Specialized Skill or Talent.

List Mundane skills here

Multilingual in classical Greek, Latin; modern English; Conservator signing
Swordsmanship

SPECIALIZED SKILLS AND TALENTS
These are specialized skills that set you apart from the average person. You have 7 points to spend here. Examples are swordsmanship, sniper, coercion, medic, wizarding, piloting etc.

Ability 1 and Points Spent: Stone carving, 2
Ability 2 and Points Spent: Ice sculpture, 2

OPTIONAL SUPERNATURAL CHARACTERISTICS
You have 7 points to spend here on supernatural skills or abilities. Sonic Scream, Levitation, Spell Casting, Shape Shifting etc. Superman MUST have his kryptonite thus weaknesses are things which inhibit the ability. Restrictions are what can't they do with their power or what balances it. They can only use it when they genuinely need it? They can't use it for more then five minutes without serious side-effects? Some things are allowed without points. A pegasus has wings thus it can fly. A raptor is fast thus no points are spent in speed. These "natural" abilities should be listed here, however. What isn't allowed: teleportation beyond a few feet; the ability to alter or go back/forward in time.

Ability 1: Hypnosis
Power Level: 3
Strengths: Able to bring a person to a suggestible state and give them instructions or leave them over a period of time to reach a more relaxed state
Weaknesses: Unable to cause a person to contradict strongly held morality or basic instinct.
Restrictions: Limited to one person at a time. Cannot affect mechanical/robotic beings or the possessed (for example, cultists).
Ability 2: Object Animation
Power Level: 3
Strengths: Able to bring "to life" an object such as a statue and control it for a period of time. May also un-stun mechanical/robotic beings.
Weaknesses: No repair ability; object is animated/restored as is.
Restrictions: Only one object at a time. Total focus. If taking over an object previously animated by someone else, risk of psychic backlash depending on type/intensity of previous control.

MAGICAL OR SPECIAL ITEMS
If it's not on this list, your character doesn't have it. Magical items are rare and hard to come by. Please list what they can/can't do - treat them like a supernatural thing. Items not allowed: anything that can alter time; anything that allows a character to teleport beyond a few feet.

List: N/A

EQUIPMENT
This is what your character has on their person at the very moment when they are pulled from their home dimension. Don't abuse this. They won't be clutching an entire bunker.

List:

Chisel
Hammer
Cutlass

BACKGROUND
As Time and Fate became aware of pantheons other than their own, they realized diplomatic marriage wasn't necessarily the best way to go about interacting with followers of said different pantheons. Not to mention that the only one reasonably qualified for that state would probably run off screaming into Urbem Ascalon at the prospect of it, given her background and experiences with the court of imperial Rome. So, after much timelessness spent in a void, it was decided to take an idle ex-priestess and impress her back into service with a new set of abilities.

Education or Training: Will be shown in scene...hopefully. Not very good at training montages.

Character Background/Biography: Still basically the same old Dora, just repackaged.

OTHER GAME MECHANICS
URL to Apartment Picture: (What's the inside of their apartment look like) Same apartment.

Link to RP examples: (this MUST be a DIRECT LINK to your IC post in an RP, NOT a link to the RP thread itself. If you don't have examples, make your biography good.)

IMPORTANT FINAL STEP:
One paragraph that sums up your character. This paragraph is what we'll use on your player tab on the first page of the thread. This MUST be brief. Your tab will contain a link to your application so people will have full details.
The nickname you go by on NS: Tilt
Character Name: Dora

Brief Description for Bio: Dora is a once and present priestess of Fate herself...

I remember this somewhat shy kid that found her way into PL way back in 2012. September, IIRC. She seemed much like her character at the time - a bit lost, a bit wise despite her youth, very giving, a touch of grimdark about her corners. She shaped the NS Family of Doom and Fudge, appointing players and parents and siblings. (I believe I was eventually cast as the "arsehole uncle", though not by her.) To be counted as a family member is an honor indeed.

Today is her birthday. No tacky pony birthday memes from me. Instead, I offer this:

Miss Gio,
Do what makes you happy;
Be with the one that cherishes you regardless;
Laugh as much as you breathe;
Love as long as you live.

These seem like impossible things to accomplish
But strive on with due diligence
And you'll find your life becomes much richer
In the areas that matter most.

You have certainly enriched all our lives.
For that, the PL Family is grateful.

Happy birthday to you.
May many more follow,
And may all those years
Be touched by good fortune and love.

Posted: **Thu Dec 08, 2016 1:47 am**

Tag, interested.

Posted: **Thu Dec 08, 2016 2:03 am**

I mean, I could do something nice like that...maybe...but I'm not too good at that....so...

Seriously, though, mad admiration or you as a writer, Gio. I try to write well, but you're the best.

That, and, well, you're just a cool person.

if you are okayed and need someone to interact with, a few characters are around. There's a largely younger group going fishing, Maghrl's making a sand castle, and a few other things I forgot.
