[hider=A Unicorn named Stella] [B]Name:[/b] M'gambristella J'amail Rriancs [color=A9D4F7]"Just call me Stella-- you'll pronounce my name wrong."[/color] [B]Age:[/b] 3,000 yrs aprox. [color=A9D4F7]"Pretty old, actually. Doesn't matter."[/color] [B]Gender:[/b] All [color=A9D4F7]"Just say 'She' and you'll do fine."[/color] [B]Breed/Species/Type/Lineage:[/b] Unicorn [color=A9D4F7]"The last and lonely unicorn,"[/color] she says solemnly. [hider=About Unicorns...] Anyone familiar with the species knows that "last" of their kind business is a steaming pile of bullshit-- or unicorn shit. It's a blatant lie. Theirs is a species that has worked in the shadows as assassins, posed as human mages or wizards, posed as animals, acted as guides and "destiny" speakers, all for the sake of influencing history, both among mortals and the supernatural alike. Chances are, most have had encounters with Unicorns and simply do not know it. Who is telling the Unicorns to influence others or even outright assassinate people remains a scholastic mystery-- some have speculated they do it just for "fun". Among those same scholars it is generally agreed upon that they are a type of demon. Then again, it's entirely possible that a few of the scholars themselves are Unicorns that are, again, just making rumors for "fun". Whatever the truth is, Unicorns in their true form are every bit of the sparkly, rainbow, curly haired, flowery nonsense as popular art depicts them as. [/hider] [B]Physical Description:[/b] Clean, unassuming, and quite fashionable, Stella values her face appearance highly. She is rather vain and very meticulous when it comes to how she looks. [color=A9D4F7]"I'm not boasting but, I'm probably one of the most beautiful people you've ever met,"[/color] Stella says with a flip of her hair. [hider=Current Human Appearance] [img]http://baocon.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Shin-Se-Kyung.jpg[/img] [/hider] [color=A9D4F7]"If you believe in me hard enough, I just might show you the [i]real[/i] me."[/color] [hider=Unicorn Appearance] [img]http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aH2JKDHLTKM/Tx9xfiHTo1I/AAAAAAAAAs8/dkcEMh0iUBE/s1600/Follow-Your-Dreams-unicorns-18114191-612-792.jpg[/img] [/hider] [B]Talents:[/b] [indent][u][b]Assassin Skills:[/b][/u] Trained in the art of subterfuge, disguise, and "sharp objects that kill things", Stella's main skill set is focused more toward directly dispatching others and sticking to the shadows. [color=A9D4F7]"I give hugs that make people fall asleep-- they may or may not wake up. It's how I survive."[/color] [b][u]Unicorn Magic - The Silence:[/u][/b] While Unicorns are naturally gifted to be rather easy to forget, Stella has specialized magic in this area. She can quiet her footsteps, create a bubble of silence up to an arm's length away from herself, and blend easily into the shadows. A passive effect of the magic is the fact she is very easy to forget and can blend into the background or a crowd-- one needs to explicitly direct all of their attention on her for a long period of time, in order to not lose sight of her... aka "believe in Stella". [color=A9D4F7]"That wasn't me..."[/color] [u][b]Unicorn Magic - Innocence:[/b][/u] Perhaps one of the most prolific traits of a Unicorn. Their ability to appear innocent, lie so well it seems like the truth, and give the typical "puppy-dog eyed stare" to get themselves out of trouble, is a passive magical trait they're all born with. Only certain magic users and other Unicorns can see through this magical tactic though-- they rarely use it on one another as a courtesy. [color=A9D4F7]"Don't worry about it, friend. Be cool..."[/color] All of these spells draw from Stella's reserves of "moonlight" and sap her strength the longer they're in use. While she hasn't encountered many instances where her magic failed-- there have been a few scares in the middle of channeling spells, where she was a bit too tired to fully manifest the effects.[/indent] [B]History:[/b] [indent][color=A9D4F7]"Alright, this is one of those things I can't sum up well, but I'll do my best." Stella clears her throat then begins, "So there we were, grazing upon the fruit at the base of the Evertree, when all of a sudden, guess who steps out of a portal? Titans. Actual titans throwing lava and ice around, all sorts of messed up stuff. Nobody liked these guys, especially not the people who were horribly murdered by them, and then I found myself alone. Everyone else was dead. I spent years wandering around until, eventually, I found my way here. That's it. I'm on vacation."[/color] The truth is, Stella was an instrumental part in several historic events throughout Europe and Asia as a whole. Along with her other Unicorn cohorts, she helped burn down the Library of Alexandria, provoke a war between a faction of minor Chinese deities-- resulting in their complete self destruction, provoke a Fire Elemental into destroying Pompeii, helped sink the city of Atlantis, and directly assassinated the leader of a Korean based Vampiric army, resulting in a victory for the human government of South Korea, and assisted in the subsequent coverup operations. All of Stella's tactics involved more direct actions. Among Unicorns, she is part of the "Dirty Hooves" crew-- those called upon to assist and assassinate when typical influential practices fail. Now that she's in New Camden, it seems Stella is focused on laying low. Sure, people see her walking about, but it's mostly during the same hours of the day and always for brief periods of time. She has very few friends and none of them know her very well however, it's well known that all she does is go to the beach, play at the arcade, and eat ice cream-- specifically chocolate Ice Cream. Needless to say, the Ice Cream shop owners know her well enough to start making her a waffle cone with two scoops of chocolate, whenever they see her from the shop windows. Where she gets her money or how she affords anything is something of a mystery to others but, Stella owns a large fortune assembled over centuries, and she lives comfortably on the interest her accounts gain.[/indent] [B]Psychological Profile:[/b] [indent]Stella takes everything easy. Extremely patient and almost disturbingly serene, there will never be a time when she seems either surprised or flustered. Sure, there are things she doesn't expect that happen, but Stella tends to shrug and accept things as they are. That being said, Stella is unfortunately as carefree as they come. It's very difficult to get her to do anything she doesn't expressly volunteer to do. When she needs to be concerned about things, Stella certainly lacks the urgency or care that's probably required for the situation. This particular trait has actually crafted itself into a strange form of courage-- perhaps even fearlessness. Then again, maybe she's simply too lazy to feel much fear because, after all, that would require energy to give a shit. However, when she commits herself to a purpose or is called upon to work, Stella goes after her goal with the aggressiveness and professionalism she is trained to have-- the quicker and cleaner she gets the job done, the sooner she can eat ice cream and play arcade games, after all. [color=A9D4F7]"Ah, be cool, man. It doesn't mean much, does it? I like naps and Ice Cream, that's all there is to it. There ain't much more to know about me, I'd say."[/color][/indent] [B]Possessions:[/b] [indent][u][b]An Obscene Variety Of Knives:[/b][/u] Unicorn Weapons Smiths have perfected a "sharp and pointy" to injure of kill a multitude of species. All of her weapons range in length from pocket knife to short sword-- nothing longer. If it doesn't kill it, bring the weapon back for a full refund-- if you're alive, that is! [color=A9D4F7]"They're for my protection, of course."[/color] [b][u]"Super Suit":[/u][/b] Stella likes to call her full black, very "ninja like", assassin's suit her "super suit". It's flame resistant, puncture resistant, and has plenty of pockets and places to latch knives and such. It also helps her keep "cloth silent" on top of her inherent magical abilities. [color=A9D4F7]"For some reason, saying 'where's my super suit' fills me with deep satisfaction..."[/color][/indent] [b]Yes, and:[/b] [indent][color=A9D4F7]"There are so many people in town that need makeovers. Maybe it's a cultural thing for me but, why would anyone not look their best at all times? Is it vain? No. Definitely not. It's simple courtesy to be easy on the eyes and that being said-- have you seen that weirdo in all black? Tax-person or whatever, right? Hideous. I mean, you can wear all black and make it work for you but they don't even make an attempt! It's fine. Whatever. Let people live their lives, right? Other than that I-- well I used to go to the park. I almost decided to relax in it-- that was until I saw the [i]Dryad[/i] lurking there. Do they even have a name? I didn't ask because, well, I don't particularly like those kids of creatures-- long story."[/color] Stella shakes her head slowly, lets out a deep sigh, then continues speaking. [color=A9D4F7]"Then there's that baker which-- again-- I didn't ask their name. Names, smames, they're whoevers and whatever to me-- I just know the sweets are good and that's all I care about. If they wanted me to know them, well, they're out of luck. I don't need to know them, do I? It's better to keep a distance anyway, because you never know who might want to... you know... harvest my tears or blood. Seriously. As if I weren't already a walking target, the fact that I'm the last of my kind just makes me more valuable. Eh. I'm not sure if it's a compliment or not. I don't like to advertise what I am because of this fact, though. But, that being said, the majority of the Unicorn Hair circulating within the magic user community in New Camden is mine-- sold for obscenely high prices, of course. I have to eat too, you know? Otherwise, I like to stay on the beach because of this-- the sirens, merfolk, and selkies are better company anyway. And uh. There's a Kelpie by the lake I like to talk to sometimes-- she's sweet."[/color][/indent] [hider=Lake Avonaco and Avonaco Beach] [b]Location of Note:[/b] Lake Avonaco + Lake Avonaco Beach [b]Notable Person:[/b] Albert aka "Sasquatch" [b]A fact everyone knows about this place:[/b] While the lake isn't very large, it does act as something of a haven for those who crave water, but are a bit too busy to go to the sea every day. Albert maintains the only dock on the lake and sells fishing gear and bait out of a tiny shack next to it. He's also been known to clean up trash off of the small strip of sandy beach at the lake's edge. Albert also ensures that the lake doesn't become over fished-- even going so far as to give anyone a good scolding during the fish spawning season. [/hider] [hider=Versus Arcade] [b]Location of Note:[/b] Versus Arcade -- Directly across the street from Black Cat Books [b]Notable Person:[/b] "Warren" the Half-Demon Half-Angel "Demigod" of War [b]A fact everyone knows about this place:[/b] While the owner couldn't exactly lead legions into battle well, not anymore, Warren most certainly takes these desires out in his arcade. Most of the games are competitive in nature and he has an especially large amount of fighting and sports based games. Regular tournaments happen in the arcade and rather expensive prizes are given to the victors. Most people report a rather subtle increase in their competitive desires while within the building.
