The Destined (Soulmate RP)

WaterWorld: post apocalyptic dystopian survival

God yes. I've been waiting for a waterworld RP.

I have a image bored. Here

I think a mix of the 'waterworld' movie and 'gargantia on the verdurous planet' anime (without the mecha, gasoline, or guns) would be amazing. I already have a character from your previous Azmier RP that can be edited. I have like a million ideas.

EDIT:: Just read through you Azmeir Interest check. Pretty sure I signed up for it last time you made it. I remember backing out of it because of the way the IC was going, and someone lived on a giant turtle or something which made me confused. The amount of fantasy races were a bit much too. I think the mutated humans from the waterworld movie were enough on its own. Maybe other mutations or evolutionary bits, depending on how long the worlds been an ocean. But a more simple version like this interest check would be bloody awesome.

She wears her hair up wrapped in cloth when she is doing chores, but otherwise she leaves it down and flowing. She owns three dresses, and one gown that was a hand-me-down from her mother.

Biggest Fear

Oriana is extremely afraid of being stuck in small confined spaces. She has been claustrophobic ever since she was four years old,
when during a game of hide and seek she accidentally got locked in a chest, and no one found her for hours. She doesn't know why she gets so scared, but as soon as shes in a small tight place she panics and can't breath.

Personality

Oriana is a clever, optimistic, and quick-witted girl, with a curious nature. She has a sharp tongue and a direct way of approaching things, thus she is not afraid to speak her mind. Her older sister describes her as being reckless, but caring. As a child she was an energetic, and tomboyish girl filled with life and humor. She is a very unforgiving person. She’s never been a fan of people who treat her like a child or think they're better then her. She wants to be strongly independent, but being so young that's not always possible. She appears afraid of nothing, and is always up for a daring adventure. She is not easily upset or agitated, even in stressful, or difficult circumstances. Oriana is also hard-working and does not place much value in material possessions.

Oriana is a hopeless romantic at heart, and always wished to find her destined to find her. As a child she would dream up a handsome knight in shinning armor who would ride into Elkwood, sweep her up and gallop into the sunset.

Background

Oriana grew up in and around the village of Elkwood. She lived with her parents, two brothers, and three sisters on the family farm. Her father married her mother out of obligation, after she got pregnant by him when she was fifteen. She was never the housewife type, and it became more apparent as the years past. Her father left to fight in the war when Oriana was only two years old, and her mother was four months pregnant at the time. Her brother Seamus was only ten, but he took over the role of parent to Oriana and all her siblings. Five months later her mother gave birth to twins girls, and once she was well enough she started spending most of her time at the tavern, and spending what little they had on fineries for herself.

Two years into the war, her father came home. He had been badly wounded, and it was a miracle he survived the amputation and consequent infection. The once cheerful and hardworking man, came home broken, missing an arm, and full of nightmares. Oriana was a little free spirit, full of energy and no fear. With hardly any supervision, she spent most of her early childhood wounding around the fields, chasing butterflies, and climbing trees. On nights when her father would wake screaming from his nightmares, Oriana and her brother Declan would take their blankets and sneak into Seamus bed. When her father was not consumed with his nightmares and hallucinations he was typically drinking to numb himself and take away the depression.

The war ended a year later and that’s when the taxes grew too much to bare. They had to sell quite a bit of their land, both horses, and all the pigs in order to keep the farm afloat. All of the workers were also let off, since there was no coin to spare for wages. What was left of the farm quickly fell into disrepair as Seamus just couldn’t do it all himself. Food was scares, but somehow her father found money to drink, and her mother had coin to buy herself silk stockings, and exotic perfume from Salahar. Her parents never loved each other, and the loss of income didn’t help the unhappy marriage. All her mother would do was berate, and yell at her father. Calling him things like lazy, drunkard, cripple, stupid, worthless, and crazy. While he just sat their jaw clenched with shame in his eyes.

Oriana was nine years old when she caught her mother in the barn with another man. Naive to the ways of the world, she thought the man was attacking her mom. So she beat the man off with a broom. The man ran off, and her mother slapped Oriana in the face for ruining her fun. She told her not to say anything to anyone about what she saw. Her mother then started ranting about how she wished her cripple of a husband would have died in the war, and the she never had any ungrateful children. Oriana didn’t stay to hear the rest. She ran off cradling her stinging cheek, and holding back tears. She got it in her mind to runaway, and got halfway to the mountains before she came back home exhausted and hungry. She told her sister Maeve what happened, and the girls never spoke of it again.

Seamus got arrested for smuggling about a year later. Luckily instead of the typical death sentence, he got twelve months hard labor. With him gone, ten year old Oriana quickly became more responsible, helping Maeve around the farm, and making sure the twins didn’t get into trouble. Declan got a job working at the stables in the village, and what he earned was carefully hidden away from his parents. The siblings were counting the days until their brother came home. Oriana even had a tally on the wall next to her bed, and every night before bed she would draw a line in coal.

Oriana was thirteen when Maeve got married to the butchers son, and left to live in Daralt. It was the first time she had seen her big sister so happy, as she said her vows, dressed prettily with flowers in her hair. For Oriana the idea of leaving her parents behind was appealing, but she didn't want to leave her siblings or the farm she loved so much. Her mother had a miscarriage later in the year, which resulted in her being unable to conceive ever again. Father knew the baby couldn't be his, as they hadn't slept together in three years. Yet somehow after she lost the baby, they seemed to reconcile. Her mother, the once selfish spoiled young girl, was now a tired woman with graying hair, and fading beauty. News came right around Oriana's fifteenth birthday, that Maeve had given birth to a baby girl.

Seamus and Declan fixed the crumbling cottage at the end of the farm field, so Seamus could move in with his new bride. Their father got off the booze for the most part, and did his best to run the farm with Seamus. Declan left the village to become a priest. Seeing her brothers and sister succeed in life, and find love made her want to dot the same. The unfortunate thing was every boy in the village knew Oriana was marked, and nobody wanted to risk their hearts on a girl who was destined by the Gods to be with someone else. At this point she had come to the conclusion that she would end up alone, a spinster caring for her aging parents.

When the royals offered to pay for the marked to come to the festival she took the chance. Her mother had high hopes that Oriana would be destined for the prince or someone wealthy. And gave her a purple velvet gown to wear at the ball. Her whole family wished her well, and she was happy. It is her first time on her own, but hopefully she can find her destined, and live the life she always wanted.

Name

Veronica Mercer

Age

20

Gender

Female

Relationship Status

Single

Job

Lower Gentry - Apprentice Healer & Apothecarist

Element/Abilities

Fire Elemental
- She can control and manipulate fire. She has average skills, and knows the basics, but has never been properly taught.

In-Depth Appearance

Veronica is pretty, and out of her two sisters, she resembles her mother the most. She has straight brown hair that reaches the middle of her back. Her most prominent feature are her beautiful eyes, which are a magnificent color mix of golden yellow, warm browns, blue, greens, and a few hazel speckles. The tricky thing about her eyes is that they seem to change color in different lighting, from green to brown to blue and back again. On the sunshine filled days they appear greener, and in the candlelit night they appear more of a mix of blue, browns, and gold flecks. She has a dainty nose, pouty lips, and a pretty smile.

Her wardrobe consists of dresses, kirtles, and surcotes. She tends to be drawn towards the simpler and feminine designs. If she is not wearing her hair just plainly down, she is most likely sporting some kind of pretty braided styling. She typically smells of wildflowers, as she spends most of her time in her father apothecary, or in the forest gathering plants.

Biggest Fear

She is afraid dying. Do to her occupation she has seen her fair share of death. The unknown, about what comes after is daunting and the actual dying part scares her. Watching her mother and older sister die helplessly was also terrifying.

Personality

Veronica is kind natured young woman. She comes off as quiet and considerate, but there is a wildfire in her eyes that is often overlooked. Strangers typically notice her serene disposition and pretty face. But that's not all she is. Veronica is as intelligent as they come, and as tenacious as her father. She resembles her mother physically, and has the same natural grace and gentleness. Her parents always said she was an old soul. Even as a child she was mature beyond her years.

Her father considers education very important, thus she is articulate and freethinking. Her mother raised her with a strong moral background, so Veronica values fairness and charity quite a bit. She is extremely loyal and protective of those she loves and puts her trust in. Strong and independent, she is a girl who makes her own decisions and cuts her own path. The plight of others tends to weave its way into her sensitive heart, but this just makes her all the more adamant in her work to help others. She is a stubborn and strong willed woman, with strong convictions. Not one to be the coveted meek and obedient wife of medieval ideals. Her curiosity can sometimes land her into trouble. Towards people she dislikes she blunt, and callous, and not great at hiding her she truly feels about someone. Though she is content with her life in the village helping her father with his work, she sometimes longs for something more.

She was never a big fan of the Destined legend. Once her parents explained to her what the mark on her wrist meant. The idea that she had a soulmate out there in the big wide world that she'd most likely never meet didn't faze her. It was that fact that somehow her fate was already written that bothered her. That her choices and actions made no difference, that destiny was already set in stone. Veronica also always wondered why. Why was she marked while others were not. And so she disregarded her mark for most of her life. The fact that she would lose her powers if she didn't find her destined love, was more good news then bad. Having control over fire was never something she was happy with. In her opinion the only good fire could bring was warmth on a cold night. Otherwise fire was just destruction, something that burned everything in it's path to ash and dust.

Background

Her father, Arthur was the youngest of five sons, and thus there was nothing to inherit from his father’s prosperous merchant company. Especially after all his older brothers got their shares, and quickly ran the business into the ground. He pursued his passion for medicine and became an apothecarist. Rather than appealing to the nobility and rich with his skills in medicine he chose to settle in the mining town of Culldune, and help the villagers for practically nothing in return.

Veronica’s mother, Enya was the only daughter of a local noble family. Their elopement was not approved of by Enya’s family who had hoped to marry her off to a wealthy nobleman, and thus she was disinherited for disobeying her family, and marrying below her station. Fast forward six years later and Veronica was born. Two days of painful labor in late winter, during one of the worst storms of the decade, she came into the world.

As a child, Veronica and her family lived above their apothecary shoppe. It was a cramped and cluttered home, but also one full of love. She was very close to her father, who she called papa. Though her father was always very busy, he always had time for his daughters. In his spare moments, he would teach Veronica about all the medical plants, how to read, and write, and everything else he knew. At night before bed he would tell her stories, and point out all the constellations in the sky. He instilled in her to always follow her heart and do what she thought was right. She liked to help her father in the apothecary. Young Veronica didn't want to just marry, have babies, and spend the rest of her life cooking and cleaning, she wanted to forge her own destiny, and do as she pleased. She wanted an adventure and to make a difference in the world.

Veronica was seven years old when her mother died after giving birth to Veronica’s youngest sister Amelia. It was a crushing blow to Veronica, and her father was never the same after her death. Her mother's side of the family had a change of heart with news of Enya’s death, and they offered to take Veronica and her sisters in to be properly educated and raised as noble ladies. Arthur refused not wanting split his family apart, or lose his daughters. But four years later after Veronica's oldest sisters Gwendolyn died during an outbreak of scarlet fever Arthur agreed, and he left eleven year old Veronica and little Amelia to their grandparents. She would not see her father for the next three years.

Her life with her overly strict grandmother, and fearsome grandfather was not exactly pleasant. Being waited on by servants and treated differently by the villagers she always though of as her friends was hard to get used to. Cooped up indoors, learning to dance, play instruments, and become a reverent passive wife to whomever her grandfather chose, was not her cup of tea. Besides their best efforts to brainwash Veronica into their way of thinking, she was steadfast in her beliefs. Unfortunately that was not the case for her little sister Amelia who seemed to thrive under their guidance as materialistic snobs.

Veronica was fourteen when her grandfather told her she was betrothed. That only solidified her resolve to runaway and look for her father. So she "borrowed" a few of her grandmothers jewels, and after six months of searching she found her father destitute and drunk in the slums of the Royal city. She cleaned him up, took care of him, and with the last of her money helped him get back on his feet. She found work as an apprentice healer. But a year later her father fell back to the bottle. He acquired so much debt from gambling that he ended up in prison, and Veronica was left on her own.

The master healer she worked for gave her a place to stay, as she waited for her father to be released from prison. Work took over most of her time, and finally two years had passed and her father was out. Veronica and him made their way back to Culldune, where the village was happy to welcome them back. They moved back into their old home, and opened up the apothecary again. Thankfully her father stayed away from the booze and the cards. Life became simple and peaceful.

Her godfather Rupert owned the local copper mine. He had hired a young man named Cedric to help run the mine. Veronica and Cedric disliked each other immediately. She saw him as arrogant, and presumptuous. He was handsome, but she couldn't help wanting to roll her eyes every time he opened his mouth. He saw Veronica as stubborn, and a know it all. Basically she had mild disdain for Cedric and he was indifferent towards her. Overtime their bickering and retorts turned to playful teasing, and flirty remarks. Then one night of drinking, and a spontaneous kiss later, they were on their way to a cheeky romance.

Cedric proposed to her six months later, and she said 'yes'. She had never thought she'd ever want to get married, but Cedric made her feel happy, he supported her, and loved her exactly for who she was. She couldn't see ever loving anyone, like she loved him. The couple ignored the fact that she was marked. They planned to marry in a year or so, once they saved enough to have a proper wedding, and find a place to call their own. Sadly a month later the mine he was working caved in, and Cedric along with a dozen of the other miners died.

Now she is twenty years old. Her father was the one who convinced her to go to the festival. He said that whether she found her destined partner or not, it would be a once in a life time experience.
