Wow, we reached page two! Thanks for all the interest. Well, I know I said I had several characters I was playing with, so I figure I'll list them out one at a time instead of type them all up in a single post and have it take several days. So without further ado:
Rebecca Rosewater
Age: 14
Class: Mage
Element: Water/Ice
Appearance
Becky stands at a minuscule 4'11". She sports red hair framing her face and reaching to the middle of her back, along with steel-rimmed glasses highlighting her ocean-blue eyes, with pale skin and freckles across her entire body. She has a demure physique, and adds feminine accents to whatever outfit she wears to compensate for the fact that she is as flat as an ironing board.
Personality
Intellectually brilliant, she has the personality one would expect of a tortured genius. She is shy and introverted, but blossoms when something piques her curiosity. The only thing she loves more than books is her best friend Roland, who remains painfully oblivious to that fact. She is earnest and polite, but feels out of place in social situations. She possesses terrible insecurities about her body, especially her height and her chest. She is caring and supportive of her friends, and is unrelentingly stubborn when one of them attempts to isolate themselves from her. Her mood can be altered by the weather. When it rains, she becomes a joyous free spirit who will dance without provocation.
Equipment/Combat
Becky reluctantly wields a Chronarii artifact in the form of a book. She remains unsure of its full abilities or how she is even able to use it, but the book appears to be of unlimited pages. She can "scan" a person or object using a unique spell to display their information on a page and use her limited and unexplained knowledge of the Chronarii language to read specific "codes" on that page. She can then take out or put in a limited amount of that code from the words she knows to make a person stronger or weaker, or change the properties of an item. This gives her unique support utility to supplement her elemental repertoire of equal parts attack and defense. She can also use water to heal, to a degree, although her healing specialty lies in purging toxins from the body.
History
Becky grew up in an independent farming village, born to two mages who settled down from their adventuring lifestyle to serve as part of the village's defense and raise their daughter. She spent her days reading anything and everything she could get her hands on, falling in love with stories of people journeying to far-off places and having adventures beyond imagination. Her best friends during her childhood were her neighbors Roland, and another girl, Celeste, both children of her parent's friends that settled into the village's defense force. An incident when she was 8 years old claimed Celeste's life, as well as that of Roland's father and permanently stripping his mother of her ability to walk. Roland, unwilling to accept charity, began to pick up what work a 9 year-old could do in his father's absence, becoming his family's primary breadwinner. Becky, meanwhile, unwilling to let anyone else do the job, spent what time she could taking care of things at his home, helping his mother and his baby sister. When Roland was 12, he left the village to go seek better-paying work. His departure broke Becky's heart, but she stayed behind to take care of what mattered to him most. She communicated with him only via letter for 3 long years. He finally returned home shortly after Becky turned 14, announcing he had accepted a blacksmith's apprenticeship in a far off country. Unwilling to accept his best friend's deference of her own dreams on his behalf any longer, he also informed her he had arranged an interview for her at a college for mages in the same country. With his little sister now old enough to take care of their mother on her own, he brought Becky with him to the Kingdom of Belgrave...
OOC Info
I'd love to have someone play her and make her their own, but at the same time, I am more attached to this character than the others I'll list. If you have any interest in playing her, please contact me, and I'll work with you to help brainstorm and implement any changes you'd like to make. All I ask is that you be a female age 18 or older.
