Re: Scales For Hire (Character sheets, OOC RP chatter) [Accepting~]
In the meantime, I'll just go ahead and post my character thingy. :P
Name: Oletha
Nicknames or Aliases: The Graceful Shadow; Olly (to her siblings)
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Age: 19
Blood relatives: 3 younger sisters and 2 younger brothers.
Other close relations: N/A
Current Occupation: Thief
Physical Description: Standing at 5'8", she's fairly tall for a female. She has long, cocoa-colored hair tied up a classic ponytail, followed by neat side bangs that almost cover her right eye. She wears dark, flexible clothing coupled with a scarf that covers half her face, only revealing her deep blue eyes. However, those that are fortunate enough to have seen her face know that she is quite a beauty to behold. She attracts a lot of unwanted male attention due to her large bust size.
References: Don't have one at the moment. :(
Personal History: She grew up in a small village not too far from the city. Like everyone else in that village, her family was poor and relied on crops for income. However, their farming proved difficult due to the harsh winters and dry summers. Finally, one day when her father had had enough, he took his life and left his family behind. It wasn't long before Oletha lost her mother as well. At the ripe age of 13, Oletha's mother had run away with a nobleman that had passed through the village on the way to the city, and she never heard from her again. The second oldest only being 7, Oletha knew that she would not be able to support her brothers and sisters in her current state. It was then that she began her life as a thief, taking what she needed for her and her family to survive. She started small, only taking barely enough to feed her and her siblings. But when she realized she had never been caught, she figured why not just take anything and everything she wanted? It was then that at 15 she received the title "The Graceful Shadow", traveling from town to town taking whatever she pleased. Her siblings are unaware of her work, however, and to them she is still their caring big sister.
Tools of the trade: 2 small blades that she carries on each side of her hips, a small assortment of tools for break-ins, and a bit of invisibility, detection, and teleportation magic she learned from books.
Personality: It is here where most men are put off. Most of them are shocked to hear her tomboy like attitude after fantasizing about her beautiful feminine face and her glorious assets. She is blunt, potty-mouthed, quick tempered, and gives off an air that she could care less about anyone or anything. She tries to keep everyone at an arm's length as best she can. But her rough edges are merely due to the fact that she's never had anyone to really rely on. For in actuality, she is quite sensitive, and can be brought to tears if she lets things get to her. She can also be surprisingly caring, since she has always been partial to children, especially her siblings, and treats them all as if she had given birth to them herself. For everything she does is for her family, and her siblings have yet to see any other side of her. It is because of that fact that she goes to sleep in regret every night.
Likes: Children, drinking, and laying in an open meadow near her village in the summers.
Dislikes: People, especially perverts. Is also not a fan of meat, since from a very young age she's seen what they do to animals before they are prepared for a meal.
Any odd habits or quirks: She tends to tuck her face in her scarf when she's feeling embarrassed, and also often crosses her arms over her chest when she notices someone staring at them.
Goals: Her goal is to find a decent job where she can earn an honest living and not have to hide or feel ashamed in front of her siblings. But being so distant from people, she finds that impossible.
Fears and Beliefs: Her biggest fear is losing her family, and believes that any god that could possibly be ruling the earth must be an evil one.
