Ottie

Name: Ottilie Rosendorn

Age: 20

Height/Weight: 5’4” and 137lb

Appearance:


Having been born into a noble family where keeping up appearances is one of the most important things to be aware of, Ottilie has been constantly reminded to take care of her looks. Therefore, no matter what circumstances she is in she will always attempt to keep her silky platinum blonde hair neatly combed and plaited tightly, and her clothes neat and unwrinkled. It is a difficult task, especially when travelling or training, but a multitude of hairpins and sewing supplies kept perpetually on her self aids in that task. Kind amber eyes coupled with the gentle smile usually present on her face brings a sense of warmth in an otherwise frozen land.

Don’t be fooled by her rather harmless appearance- harsh training as an Inquisitor has allowed her to gain a lithe and powerful body, capable of hard heavy hits. It is littered with countless small pale scars, none of which are particularly eye catching.

Ottilie takes great pride in the Inquisitor coat, for it represents both her capability as a person and identity as a member of the Priesthood. It is the article of clothing she takes most care of by patching up any rips or fraying seams, and if anyone is to sully it on purpose they would most certainly be on the receiving end of her rage. Underneath the coat are a simple cotton blouse and a pair of sturdy but warm pants, both durable and easy to clean. Accessories include a small but well-crafted hair pin emblazoned with the crest of her house as well as two simple rings on the middle finger of each hand, which serve as focus points for her ability.

Personality: Ottilie is quite the prideful woman. Not necessarily as in the haughty and better-than-thou context, but more pride of who she is and her abilities. She is proud of her noble family name and her having become an Inquisitor, and because of this pride she is fiercely loyal and will always work her hardest to represent both her house and what she thinks of as her extended family in the best ways possible. This pride does not stop her from aiding her friends- in fact, she takes great joy in helping others with anything they might need an extra hand in. She likes to think of herself as someone easy to approach, and tries her best to balance graceful dignity and warm-hearted enthusiasm as to support her team wholeheartedly.

This loyalty, coupled with her strong sense of protectiveness of her extended family makes her the regular mother hen of the group. At the end of the day she always ends up fretting over the smallest of things; from making sure everyone’s got enough to eat to attempting to patching up holes in clothing (perhaps even when said article of clothing is still being worn), she’ll be flitting to and fro in order to make sure everyone is in tip-top condition. She means well, but some do get annoyed by this behaviour as being overly fussy and trivial compared to other matters at hand.

Her perfectionistic ways also mean that she’s very against taking risks. Rather pessimistic by nature, Ottilie will usually assume the worst and become agitated if things don’t go the way they were planned. Risks are a road to possible failure, and while she understands that failures are impossible to avoid completely she would rather take the safe route than jeopardizing safety or sullying the names so dear to her.

Talents/Abilities: Ottilie’s ability is the physical materialization of ether. Usually it is an intangible substance that protects the body from the bitter cold of the world, but in this case Ottilie is able to manifest the ether into a tangible material. It becomes a translucent, glowing substance that can be molded into armor and weapons. Since Ottilie is still inexperienced with this power she needs the help of the two rings on each of her hands to act as a focus point to materialize the ether around her hands in the shape of simple gauntlets and armor that extend up to her shoulders. As a fighter who prefers hand to hand combat, the gauntlets act both as a power booster for her punches and as a way of blocking blows without heavy armor weighing her down.

Background: Born as the third child in a high ranking noble family, Ottilie had an easy and carefree first few years in the household. During this period, her parents scrutinized her carefully, unsure of how they should put their youngest child to use in improving the family name. Their oldest son would inherit the family name and manage the estate, while their second daughter was engaged to a man of high standing as to increase the family influence. They could potentially marry off Ottilie as well, but arranged marriages were rather tricky things with finding a suitable husband and all the dowries to be discussed. The idea hit them one day while watching the young child romp around in the nursery. Why not send her to join the priesthood? Members of the clergy are highly respected members of society, and to have a family member as one of them would no doubt raise their family standing.

Of course, if Ottilie was to join the priesthood she would have to be in nothing less than the top tiers, so plans were made to send her off to the Red Seminary. They knew the training was tough and it was possible that the girl may not even survive- but it was for the good of the household name and therefore worth it. Tutors were hired immediately to prepare the very young child for what was to come. When the time came to ship her off, the girl was well versed in the basics of strategy, magic, and etiquette, and her parents were sure she would be well prepared for what was to come.

Life at the Red Seminary was harsh, and many times Ottilie wrote home begging her parents to take her home, only to be told that she must persevere and bring honor to her family. It wasn’t the academics she could not keep up with, but rather the combat aspect of the training. Physical labor was never required at home and therefore she could barely even lift the lightest of swords so swinging one around was nigh impossible. She focused on hand to hand combat instead but her punches were weak and during the first few years she always lagged behind during sparring sessions, more often dodging and running from her opponent than landing futile hits. How she survived the first few years was much attributed to the speed she was forced to attain and pure dumb luck. It was not until her ability in materializing ether manifested until she was able to start improving the effectiveness of her physical attacks, and coupled with her agility made her a fast but heavy hitter.

Quote: I will do my best to stay in top condition to represent the Inquisitors as an elite group, one which people can look up to and respect. You, as a fellow representative, need to keep an impeccable appearance as well, so please just stay still and let me mend your shirt!

Here's mine ^^

Los Paraísos: The Flying Albatross



Aria warmly smiled at everyone who introduced themselves, trying to sort out all their names inside her head. Dylan was the polite young man who had greeted them first; Syed was the tall man who had greeted them shortly after while the two in front of her and Xan were…“Thank you Marcus, Trixie,” she nodded and accepted their help in hopping off the bar stool, inwardly cooing at how absolutely adorable everyone was. She sincerely hoped she would become good friends with this bunch of colorful characters, they all seemed to be so fun!

She patted down her dress, smoothing out any wrinkles that may have creased the shimmering fabric when she was sitting down, looking up when she heard Chirp’s sudden statement. She bit back a laugh at how nervous he sounded- looks like he and this group had some history together. A few of the group had taken to ordering quite an amount of drinks from the bar at Chirp’s sudden generosity and she herself took advantage of this proposal, buying two bottles of a very nice and rather expensive wine she had tried a few days ago. She turned to see that the large woman and a blonde woman in a very nice green dress had the same idea as her and Aria briefly wondered if they would be willing to have some kind of drinking party later. It was never that fun drinking alone anyways.

Turning to call Xan over to follow their dear leader to the large tables, Aria paused when she saw that the younger girl was conversing with a member from the large group and from their expression it seemed that the metallurgist knew the man from before. She shrugged to herself, not wanting to interrupt the reunion of some kind she turned back around to follow the ranger to the two larger tables, hoping the meeting wouldn’t take too long. As much as she loved hearing their leader prattle on (hardy-har-har) she didn’t quite fancy the idea of sitting at a table for an entire day.

Los Paraísos: The Flying Albatross



Judging by the confused look on Chirps’ face, it seemed that he hadn’t been informed about the guild members who were due to arrive soon. Before she could comment on this however, a familiar voice made her jump and she looked to the newcomer, a slightly guilty smile lighting her face. “Hi there,” she waved, noting that the woman was quite a bit calmer than she would have expected. If Xan had been planning on scolding her right there on the spot she wouldn’t have had time to as the door to the restaurant opened, followed by a loud scream.

”Oh my gods it’s Thunderjerk!”

Aria swiveled around on her bar stool, blinking at the group of people at the door. Were these the people they were supposed to be meeting? There… sure was a lot of them. It seemed like a red-headed girl had been the source of the shriek if her pointing finger was anything to go by. Most of the members didn’t seem too pleased to see the blond ranger as their upset looks was directed to him. “Friends of yours?” Aria quipped, watching as blond man approached them. He seemed to be one of those who didn’t seem to hold hostile feelings towards Thunderhawk, and she smiled as he introduced himself as Dylan.

“How polite,” The woman purred in return, grin widening. “and yes, if you’re the group sent by Tiberius then you’ve got the right people.” She looked over to where Chirps seemed to be a hairsbreadth away from being pummeled by a large woman. The situation resolved itself much to her relief; it would be a pain to be kicked out. Instead she nodded in greeting to the other man who had joined them. “It’s very nice to meet you all; I’m Aria. Take care not to forget my name now, sweets.” The endearment was accompanied by a light wink, before she scanned the group who had gathered around the bar now. A small furry creature that was nestled snugly in the arms of a girl in a light green sundress caught her eye, and she blinked at the adorable creature, making a note to ask about him later as she gave it a little wave; she didn’t think she had seen that particular species before.
