[hider= Lex] [img] https://media.publit.io/file/575d171efb5c21b451c270eebb008c71.jpg [/img] [/hider] Age: ~ 24 Birthday: ~ Halloween Gender: ~Female Country of Origin: ~ U.K. Physical Description: [hider= Lazy Day] [img] https://media.publit.io/file/1419a2eebdfca1cab1989571b48b48c7.jpg [/img] [/hider] ~ Elexene is fairly average in height, standing at just about 5'6". ~ Her weight being a little on the smaller side varies between 120-130lbs. She tries to keep herself fit, so has lean muscle throughout her body. It also helps her stay quick on her feet. ~ She tends to keep nocturnal hours, especially with the onset of insomnia after her parents death, so her skin always stays a creamy pale moon color. Like her mothers favorite tea after she'd add cream to it. ~ She's 24 but she barely looks over 18. Especially when she goes without makeup. ~ Her eyes are a dark reddish, amber brown that can almost look red in the right lighting. Though she rarely gets severely angry, the few people who have witnessed it say her eyes almost seemed to blaze aglow. [hider= Aglow] [img] https://media.publit.io/file/1346eb7b26422b664b107e38db040024.jpg [/img] [/hider] ~ Her hair is as black as a starless night and very long. It reaches all the way to her lower calves. She'll often braid it or tie it with thick ribbon near the end. ~ Lex spends every night tending the bar. So she really only has a few outfits. More than half being pajamas. Her work attire usually consists of some type of thick strapped tank top. With sometimes a light leather trench jacket or very loose, off the shoulder, long sleeved shirts and sweaters overtop. ~ She mix and matches with her black cargo shorts, black skorts (skirt over top of thin material, spandex/polyester like shorts), or black faded jeans. ~ Most often you'll see her wearing some form of red boot. Whether it be ankle high mud boots, or suede thigh highs. If its red and a type of boot. She loves it. ~ She sometimes wears arm sleeves made of a thin light material, that comes to her wrist at one end and just under her shoulder at the other. Over that she wears red or black fingerless biker gloves and sometimes spiked elbow guards. [img] https://media.publit.io/file/104ce3acc93978bf7ecd62cf7800643b.jpg [/img] Physical Disabilities/Scars: ~ She has a large crooked X like scar across her back. Mostly in the region of her shoulder blades. Attained from her parents 'car accident'. [/hider] [hider= ~ Chapter II ~] [color=9e0b0f][i][b]The Internal[/b][/i][/color] Psychological Profile: ~ She's rather shy and quiet for how strong she is. Her best friend says its because she had bad experiences from the foster care they both grew up in. But Lex would never tell you that herself. She never talks to anyone but her best friend Marci about anything serious or personal. Some say its due to traumas she experienced when little, her parents death, foster care. But she also seems very polite and cheerful when tending customers at the bar she owns with her friend. So no ones really sure where her mind is. Even the psychologists assigned to her after her parents death couldn't get anything worthwhile out of her. Mental Disabilities: ~ She suffers from Severe Panic Attacks when riding in motor vehicles and during severe thunderstorms. She can ride trains and go on boats but prefers to ride her motorbike if going anywhere of a distance. "She can ride motorcycles but freaks at cars?" you say. She can ride HERS, yes. Marci and her built it together. So its different. Regular rain doesn't really affect her, especially if she's indoors. But during severe storms with harsh winds, bright flashes and loud earth and nerve rattling thunder? Marci has to have a pair of noise canceling headphones and somewhere isolated to outside lights or noises to put her. Usually with something to watch and Bulla clenched to her chest. Which is one of the reasons they decided to stay and build the bar in the building downstairs that her parents had given her in the southern central district. It never rains. [hider= With Bulla] [img] https://media.publit.io/file/cf187a935936a607cd23bbc9b59f6bb1.jpg [/img][img] https://media.publit.io/file/4523d25f91217c188b6c34cea353ff8f.jpg [/img] [/hider] Likes: ~ Her motorcycle, her best friend Marci, her stuffed bear Bulla she's had since before her parents died, Whiskey and Rum, red boots, bartending, creating new mixed drinks (like her Butter finger, root beer, and peanut butter whiskey shake), kick boxing. Dislikes: ~ Passenger Motor Vehicle's, super humid nights, bad thunderstorms, super loud crude people, anyone hurting her friend. Fears & Phobias: ~ Car rides, thunderstorms, being abandoned and left completely alone. Trauma: ~ When she was almost 5 her parents were taking a drive on a tour of the entirety of BlackHarbour. They had just moved here and wanted to see everything it had to offer. She doesn't remember how long they were driving, or where they were exactly. She remembers it was dark. And seemingly out of nowhere a large, crashing thunderstorm came upon them. The wind and rain was so frantic, her father had to pull over to keep safe. She remembers her parents getting out of the car to take care of something, to try and fix something. And then she remembers waking up in the hospital with a large scar on her back. All the doctors told her she was brave. That she was strong. That she had been in a car accident.... That her parents had not survived... The car accident. She had no family, no friends to take care of her. All she had was some property in her name, that she couldn't have until she was 18. Her second trauma was her later foster care years. Ever since she turned 13 things began to become much more difficult. But you'll have to find out what exactly happened from her. If she'll ever tell you. Secrets: ~ She doesn't remember everything about the night her parents died. But she knows it wasn't a 'car accident' and she knows that's not what gave her the scar. She doesn't know what happened exactly. But she knows its not what she was told. She's only ever told one living soul the truth about what happened to her in foster care. Her best friend, Marci. And only because she was there for a lot of it and helped. Hobbies: ~ She's practiced tai kwan do and karate since the age of 8, and fought in less than legit fight groups as a kick boxer for a couple years in her late teens. One of the reasons she's also the bar's bouncer. ~ She loves to experiment with new drink mixes. Whether trying new popular recipes or looking like a witch over her cauldron creating new concoctions. She spends much of her free time (or slow hours at the bar) trying new things. ~ Since she spent many of her teenage years making meals for herself and Marci, she picked up quite a bit about how to make cheap meals delicious. She likes to think it was in her genes as her mom was a popular chef back home. But who knows. She tries to learn new recipes for food as well as drinks. But she doesn't spend even half the time she spends on drinks and kick boxing training. Outlook on Life: "I guess," she said softly but cheerily, " i guess so long as I'm here, and my friend is here, and we're both happy... And safe. I guess i just want to keep up my training so i can stay strong enough to protect people. And so long as i can keep creating new things. Well then i guess life's pretty great.

Yes she would. [/hider] [hider= ~ Chapter III ~ ] [color=82ca9d][i][b] The Spirit[/b][/i][/color] Religion: ~ She doesn't necessarily believe in any certain god(s) or not. She thinks there most likely is Something bigger or more powerful out there. She just isn't sure as to what that is exactly. On a scale of 1 to 10, how strong is their Faith in that which they worship?: ~ 3 or 4? On a scale of 1 to 10, how strong is their Faith in themselves?: ~ Between 6-8. Depends on the situation. On a scale of 1 to 10, how strong is their Faith in others?: ~ Marci 9, anyone else 1-3 What would it take to convince them to kill an innocent person?: ~ I'm not quite sure you could get her to that point. She'd more likely give up her own life if she was sure if would help. Otherwise she'd fight to the end. Would they ever resort to cannibalism in a desperate situation?: ~ It would have to be REALLY desperate. Would they ever resort to cannibalism in a non-desperate situation?: ~ Nope. Does your character enjoy inflicting pain upon others, or having pain inflicted upon them?: ~ Well... I suppose that somewhat depends... She truly enjoys fighting. In sport. But would she willingly just fight someone to hurt them or just to inflict pain? No. But she does enjoy a Good fight. [hider= Kick Boxing] [img] https://media.publit.io/file/0809b6338b6f379bbe5414b1e235580b.jpg [/img] [/hider] Has your character ever committed any crimes? If so, what were they? How severe?: ~ Mostly just participating in illegal underground fights for a couple years when she was 17-19. She was never caught, and never killed anyone, but she did enter them to try her skills. She always put the winnings towards the bar and their home. Does your character consider themselves a sinner?: ~ In the more simple form of the word. She doesn't think she's 'bad' or 'evil'. But she doesn't think she's an angel by any means. Why?: ~ Because of the things she's done or had to do to survive. The fact that she has hurt people when she didn't Need or Have to. If the world ended, or was about to end, what would they do?: ~ She'd try to protect and help those she could but otherwise she would focus on herself and her friend and try to keep them safe as long as possible. Would they like to be a Hero?: ~ Yes and no. If it happened where she was put in a situation of either doing something and so being a hero. Or doing nothing and helping no one. She would do it to protect or save. But just wanting to be or trying to become a Hero? No. [/hider] [hider= ~ Chapter IV ~ ] [color=a187be][i][b]The Past and Future[/b][/i][/color] Biography: ~ When she was almost 5 her mother Ellen (from London) and her father Alex (from Glasgow, where they currently lived) decided to move to BlackHarbour. Her mother had been a chef and her father owned a restaurant in Glasgow. Lex was named as a mix of their names. After hearing and then learning about the Black Shell delicacy, they sold their restaurant and home and bought a house and the small building below it. It sat along the the North side of the man made river, in the Southern Central District. They had enough to buy it outright and planned to build a small but fancy restaurant/bar in the building underneath their 2 bedroom home that sat above. Being that she wasn't 5 yet, she doesn't remember much of the details of the move. She remembers a long ship ride to the ports in BlackHarbour. She remembered sitting in their new car for a long time as people and her parents moved the few items they had moved from home. They would go shopping for new things tomorrow, her father had said. She remembered holding as tightly as possible to Bulla, her stuffed bear the entire day. Later that night after eating dinner at a local restaurant for BlackShells, they went on their driving tour. After waking up in the hospital and being told her parents had died, she fell into a very quiet place for many years. The only solace or thing she had to remember her parents by was Bulla, who was somehow by her side when she awoke that night in the hospital. She thankfully came across a fairly kind family her first few years in foster care and was able to stay in BlackHarbour. She spent until the age of 13 in Central District. She was the youngest of three, the other two being boys and the oldest being the families actual son. Puberty hit around 13 and almost overnight Lex seemed to become a Full and grown woman. Much to her eldest brothers interest. [hider=Woman] [img] https://media.publit.io/file/Polish_20200731_232633425.jpg [/img] [/hider] Lex doesn't mention it to anyone except her best friend. There were court dates, and fights, and eventually she ended up bouncing from family to family. Adding insults to injuries. Until age 15. Which is when she met her best friend in the world. Marcilla or Marci. She was one of the other children in the last round of homes she was in. Finally she had someone to stand up with her. That helped her to 'fight back'. Right after Lex turned 17 they became emancipated and began life on the fly. They stayed different places and worked different odd jobs. Since Lex had been training off and on since she was 8 (the first family she was with paid for her to take different lessons) Marci introduced her to the underground fighting. They used the money to rent motels to live in and for food. Then Lex turned 18. After a couple months a man in a suit found her while she was serving at a local pub. After a few hours long discussion. And bumping out some kinks. She was handed the keys to her home and the building below. Somehow, her parents had put the building in her name, to be handed to her, in the event of their deaths, so long as she was over 18. Marci and her moved in immediately and began to spruce the place up. After several ideas for the building below they came to a decision. They would run a bar. They call it Seventh Haven. ;3 [hider= Seventh Haven Inside] [img] https://media.publit.io/file/7thHeaven-ffvii.png [/img] [/hider] It was just enough into the Southern Central District, but still close enough to the City Center and City Northside that it was a hub for beach fans, city slicks, and some college students who lived in the city. As well as a few occasional Portside regulars to make it in. The friends live upstairs so they never have to worry about late night trips to the motorcycle or home. [hider= Seventh Haven] [img]https://media.publit.io/file/7th_Heaven.jpg [/img] [/hider] Its a 2 bedroom loft type home with a balcony and a patio for the bar that hangs just along the water. Marci will have guys over every now and then but they'll usually hang out in the bar most of the time. [img] https://media.publit.io/file/eabba417205bafce16678e1b8d78743a.jpg [/img] Now days she makes small dishes for customers, makes badass drinks and kicks anyone's butt who messes with Marci, the bar, or her good customers. She had a very nice regular she was beginning to become fond of, even if it was just as someone who provided good conversation, as well as good tips. He had started coming in more often, though he seemed a bit distracted the last couple night's he'd come in. She hadn't gotten out of him why when he suddenly stopped coming in all together. Though it saddened her, she figured it was just life, or a women, and tried her best to put it behind her. If your character could live a perfect life, what would that life be?: ~ Honestly she feels as if she's living pretty perfect right now. Yeah sometimes they're worried they spent too much on different liquors so the light bill may be late. But she keeps her own hours, gets to create new small dishes for her regulars to try. New drinks to make and she'll occasionally join a fight once and awhile. Her friend is happy, though a bit too flirty with the bar customers sometimes, but happy all in all. [/hider] [hider= ~ Chapter V ~ ] [color=ed1c24][i][b]Blood Bonds[/b][/i][/color] What is your character's relationship like with their immediate family?: ~ Both her parents are deceased, she has no siblings and as far as she knows no aunts or uncles. She never knew her grandparents or if they are even still alive. How many friends does your character feel as if they have?: ~ Marci, and there's about 4 regulars at the bar she feels close to. One of those being the gentleman who has seemingly disappeared from the bar scene. What's your character's relationship with the town of Blackharbour?: ~ It's honestly all she's ever known. Or at least all she remembers. [/hider] [hider= ~ Chapter VI ~ ] [color=0054a6][i][b]The Supernatural[/b][/i][/color] Has your character ever seen ghosts or worse?: ~ Not that she remembers. She knows something terrible and crazy happened that night. That something or someone killed her parents. And she knows they weren't in a car accident. But what really killed them? And what really left a huge scar on her back? She's never been sure of. Does your character believe in the supernatural?: ~ Its basically the same as her religious 'beliefs'. She doesn't technically believe in specific or certain supernatural things or creatures. But she doesn't totally think All those things are fake. Has your character ever been to Blackharbour's Lighthouse?: ~ It wasn't something she remembered seeing on her parents tour. It may have been where they were headed when the storm hit. But she's never been sure Where it happened. Since their deaths she hasn't made any trips to the lighthouse or beyond for that matter. Has your character ever eaten any Blackshells? If so, how often?: ~ Not often in her recent years. She had them a few times when she was little. Her mum being a chef she would always make Lex weird or unique dishes to try. Lex was fond of all kinds of strange foods growing up and she continued to have weird tastes as she got older. Over the last few years she had them about 3 times. Like any young adult eating a delicacy, it was a thing for unique celebrations or birthdays. Like lobster or caviar. A few months ago she was able to put some fight money towards a small amount. She wanted to try to use some in a recipe for a unique new dish. It turned out well. Has your character ever seen someone jump from the Leap of Faith?: ~ No. She's never really been near the part of town. Has your character ever gone to jump from the Leap of Faith?: ~ She honestly thought about it when she heard of it around the age of 14. But then she met her friend a little while later. Has your character ever seen the ghost of Old Rowan?: ~ Not that she knows of.
