[b] Captain [/b] [b]Name:[/b] Runali "Runa" Lev [B]Age:[/b]18 [B]Gender:[/b] Female [B]Appearance:[/b][hider=Runa][img]http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/279/c/9/anime_pirate_by_punkemoblack-d307dur.jpg[/img] [/hider] Runali stands around 5"7 with medium length dark blue-black hair. She has a black hat that normally covers it, like the picture, but without the decorations. Her left eye is covered by a black eyepatch (unless she or a crew member gets another every now and then) so the color is unknown, but her right eye is an odd golden color. Her StarDusk symbol is on her right arm. It's the original symbol of a star and ribbon encompassing it. The symbol lacks excess designs, symbolizing that she is the captain, and the first to have the symbol printed on her. The symbol is usually visible due to her wearing short sleeves most of the time. Her attire normally consists of tan capris pants that stop right at her knees and some type of short sleeve shirt whether it be plain or loose button up. [B]Position:[/b] "Somehow, I convinced enough people to believe that I'd be a good captain. Boy are they in for a ride. Captain of the Coral Pearl, and the StarDusk Pirates." [B]Personality:[/b] It would be hard to make out a specific personality profile for the girl. Her demeanor changes like the wind. Often, Runali is seen as a lazy lump, always dozing off on the ship as they're sailing the seas. If one is lucky, you might catch her sleep through a meaningless fight. But this side of her is only when she is around the people she is most comfortable with, meaning her crew. Normally, Runali is a fairly stoic person. Many believe her stoic personality holds an air of mystery or they may expect her to be some cryptic person with riddles and have a highly serious attitude. This is not the case. Runali just doesn't show many emotions. The girl sometimes displays emotion when under extreme stress or in other highly emotional situations, but her usual repertoire consists of mild boredom and detached interest. Often times, during fights Runali is seen yawning in boredom, especially to long monologues. Her crew, and extreme situations are the ones or things that manage to elicit many emotions out of her. Being a two sided coin, if one doesn't catch her being lazy, then they are bound to see... a stoic character, but one with more motivation in her eyes. She can be very perceptive, something she may demonstrate by providing important and logical decisions at critical times and by evaluating the situation from an objective point of view. There's a shift in pattern where it seems like she is only motivated during extreme periods of time, and then she'll so happen to switch it up and no one knows what to expect. And despite all this, Runali considers herself fairly boring...[s](which in the narrator's opinion, she might be.)[/s] [B]Special Skill:[/b] Runali is extraordinarily agile. Even at a young age, she was able to execute mid-air somersaults and cartwheels that surpassed natural human talents. Because of this, she was very fast and agile in battle, able to outmaneuver almost any opponent she came across and jump exceptionally high and far even from a stationary position. She is also very limber; able to twist and bend herself into positions nearly impossible for an ordinary person to achieve. These abilities also grant her impressive parkour and freerunning skills, allowing her to scale almost any surface or terrain very quickly and squeeze through most barriers and small spaces. Runali's most defining ability is her mastery of pressure-point martial arts. With her extensive knowledge of the human body, she can strike sequences of pressure points, immobilizing her enemies to various degrees. She has the ability to paralyze a single body part or an opponent's entire body, if she can get close enough. [B]History:[/b] Runali was born to a tradesmen and a store merchant. So, her life consisted of a lot of travel. While her father took business in trading, often times she would visit the different islands with him, which proved to teach her a quick tongue, making her a great bargainer. If she wasn't doing that, then she was helping her mother organize the fruits and vegetables she sold. There was nothing too extraordinary about her life. Runali was a normal cloud gazer, and if not, there wasn't too much she would do. The kids that didn't think she was weird played with her on occasions, but normally she preferred to observe than to join in. Her quiet nature comes from being told to speak when spoken to. One day, when she was traveling with her father, Runali encountered a woman training in Tai Chi, and various meditative martial arts. Before long, she trained with the woman as well, often staying on the island and returning to her home days later. This is how she learned her agile abilities. It was all fine and peaceful until a band of thieves raided the two females. Yes, they were able to fight back, but not without the price of a few injuries- one being how she got the eyepatch. No one is sure exactly how she got injured, whether it was an explosion or she was stabbed, or something of the sorts. All they know is that she... well, got injured. Being young, her story is still in full effect. Only months before she had started her journey sailing the seas, and now she decided to become a pirate. Why you became a pirate: Unlike many, she has no traumatic experiences or no need for revenge. Runali just wanted to know what freedom was like. At home, she was forced into such a routine life, that normally left her cloud gazing. As a pirate, she can experience frequent change and constant adventure. Even if she doesn't show it, Runali enjoys it.
