Name: Talli
Age: 20
Species: Long-Limbed Pixie (Average Height: 3-4 feet)
Sexual Orientation: Straight, interested in men, but not humans...yet.
Profession: Fledgling Mechanic
Background: Young Talli was born during a time just before the three brothers began to wage war. Her people lived peacefully with the humans, remaining secluded in rocky canyons, and mineral rich valleys with which they grew a spiritual bond with. Talli was raised with this religious respect for the earth, and the ores they could bore from it in mind. But once the kings began to feud, the brothers Penndragon and Bloodsbane both lost respect for her kind, as they insisted the Pixies leave their lands so that they could claim the resource rich land for themselves. The Pixies stood up valiantly in protest, but were soon forced to evacuate once both kings had already set up strip-mines in their territory. The Long-Limbed Pixies were much luckier than their shorter brothers, however, who called the forests home. The two kings had ordered clear-cutting operations on their forests, effectively destroying their homes and killing thousands of them. The Pixies had no choice but to migrate onto Theses land who, being the kinder more generous king he was, allowed them the pleasure of occupying a portion of his kingdom. Because of those dark times, the Long-Limbed variant of Pixie is now the dominant race when compared to the Short-Limbed. A tragedy, really. The month in which the excursion had started has since become a holiday for the Pixies, where they all celebrate, thanking Theses for his understanding and compassion for their race.
A bit more on Talli personally...: There was never a time in Talli's life when she wasn't a prodigal mechanic. Both her mother and father were saddened, and overjoyed by the fact that she fell under neither of their professions, but somehow managed to utilize both in her work. The pinnacle of her work being...
The Hand-Cannon Prototype! An innovational piece of work, it's fueled by condensed fire magic, which her father supplies her with. As such, it shoots powerful fireballs, and is meant to act as a tool to help those who don't have the concentration required to cast spells. Meaning...she made it for herself. She's currently learning how to create her own fuel, and tinkering around with her Hand-Cannon in hopes of allowing it to use multiple types of magic as fuel. Not to mention she's still perfecting the design.
Special Abilities: Being born from an enchanter, she's inherited such abilities for herself, but hasn't practiced very much, as she mainly follows under her mother's profession as a metalworker and mechanic. And surprisingly enough, her Hand-Cannon is about the size of her. It's that big, and she can carry it! Because of her small size and light weight, she can use its blasting power to propel her upwards or forwards.
Weaknesses: She is nothing without her Hand-Cannon.
Nothing. If it were stolen destroyed, it would break her heart. She's still kept her bond with the earth as well, so observing how carelessly the human race collects, uses, and throws away resources can leave her a bit traumatized. Due to her height, Talli's Hand-Cannon can be a tad clunky for her to use at times.
Personality: Talli is confident. Possibly
too confident. She often boasts of her skills as a mechanic and a marksman, despite only having a few years of self-training in both fields. She can get very snarky too, often throwing around disses and insults to another person's skills as jokes. Her heart of gold usually makes up for these traits, however, as she contains her attitude when around strangers, or authority figures, and only lets it out when around good friends to get a good laugh. Talli is also stubborn. If someone questions or challenges her abilities, she'll always have a retort or a rebuttal prepped. This stubbornness makes it nearly impossible for her to turn down a bet too. And any time things become personal between her and another, (hugging, kissing, or experiencing love, that sort of thing) she can become very awkward. Whether it be when her parents show her affection, or if a potential lover does the same.
Affiliation: The Kingdom of Theses
Other: Talli is incredibly fond of moles, and loves to eat gooey sugar cookies.
