She prefers to stay quiet and mind her own business, but she won't tolerate bullying or abuse. Although, once she get's rilled up it's difficult to get her down. Nori has the fury of a dragon. She's loud, hot-headed, poison-tongued, and ready for a fight. Even though she looks small and weak, she is vicious in a battle. Nori doesn't play fair and won't stop to either one of them can't fight any longer. [b]Mental Strengths:[/b] Norix is Strong-Minded in general. She won't change her ideals for anyone. She's Creative.

Norix is a creature of the desert and doesn't do well when it's cold out. The fact that she is also cold-blooded does not help. [b]Fears:[/b] Brain damage. Norix is terrified of having brain damage. Losing information, the ability to do something, or a changing personality frightens her. She'd hate to lose everything she's worked so hard for. The Undead. Nori hasn't encountered anything undead, nor does she wish to. She is a firm believer that was is dead should stay dead, and never mess with ghosts. Being buried alive. Norix doesn't know why, but the thought of being buried alive scares her to the core. She is never around holes in the ground or graves because she doesn't want to fall in and be buried. [b][u]Brief Background[/u][/b] Nori was born into The Ocuirari. She came from two Seer (Saurivic) Dracons, but has a past blood-line of Siksta. From her parents and grandparents, she has developed the ability to see into the future (it's very vague since there are multiple outcomes) and the ability to heal. Through the years different members of the group taught her how to harness her skills. She helped focus older Saurivic and prepared patients for the Siksta. When she turned 12 and her powers fully matured, she was finally able to see and heal on her own. Norix prefered telling fortunes to healing, it was less bloody. Her band charges a small fee of 10 Yzicha (she got half of the payment, the rest goes to the group). With the small price, she wasn't able to gather much Yzicha, and in her nation, it was everything. When she was 13, she got the idea in her head that she wanted to leave. The Ocuirari didn't adventure much, and she wanted more than a taste. When she came of age (15 in human years) she was able to leave without resistance. Norix seperated from her group a year later and has been wandering the sands of Sikstavurbilaes as a lone Ocuirari until age 20. At that point, she decided just endless desert wasn't enough for her and moved onto different horizons. Norix wound up at the Queen of Hearts Bar for a drink and maybe some food. It's been a long journey, but she believes it was worth it.

[*][b]Spell 2 Name: Seer[/b] Description: Using a talisman or focus (in Norix's case, a deck of cards) the caster can predict the future.

The reading is not set in stone, the future can change, it's just the most plausible one. Readings also become less likely the further into detail the caster goes.

[/list] [b][h3]O T H E R[/h3][/b] [b]Player Input:[/b] Why do you want to join this role-play? It looked interesting and a lot of fun. Not to mention, the creator seemed nice, full of ideas, and competent. What makes you think yourself to be dedicated enough to be accepted? I am on the site every day (other than weekends), usually writing. I have some experience with advanced things, although I hope to learn more and get better at it. Besides, if I'm not dedicated enough, I won't be accepted. If you needed a break because of real life, would you inform anyone on this RP? Definitely. I have depression and anxiety issues, not to mention school full time. If I'm overwhelmed or having a bad bout of depression, I will gladly tell the people in this RP. They deserve to know. [/hider]
