Marinalia (Romus) Olympus

Old Harbour . Monday later afternoon

The sun was setting over the old harbour and glitteting into the large old warehouse windows into the fairly impersonal but nicely fitted apartment, a few personal touches such as a soft blanket on the sofa and a selection of photos on the coffee table of family and friends.

Marinalia sipped a Solbecks pumpkin spice lattees, extra shot standing watching the boats go by slowly drifting back to the Marina. Her day had been a busy one, arriving at hanger 12 the DC 7 had been waiting and ready, a fairly slow flight to Neo city cruising at about 6000 feet. Low but it was easier on the old aircraft and the engines where barely taxed.

The terrain and plains around Sol where beginning to turn to winter and a sea of gold Forrest below glinted in the morning light, passing over a small grass strip, hangers and a line of glinting older aircraft parked nosing out into the dawn.

Things had been pretty uneventful after that, endless forests and plains mostly undisturbed till Neo city had started riding on the horizon.

Shaking her head, damn it was late and thr jazz evening. If she did not leave soon the traffic would be impossible!

Finding a little back dress in the wardrobe, making a effort, rather suited her but not thr kind she would get stared at for a entire evening at her body it seemed right. Make up was easy, not like it was a date and grabbing a quick shower beforehand.

Damn... Well good job she had no one across the steer realising the windows where so large and open as rhe zipped the dress up grabbing a fitted mid lengh coat, hand bag and keys before heading down the parking garage.

Sol City Freeway . Monday Evening

The drive to Swan Songs was a grind, nose to tail traffic as the land rover engine almost grumbled with annoyance at the slow chain passing over the bridge. It had been too far to walk on the other side of the river and the Taxi company locally was a total rip off.

Switching over to KAWAII 105.9 the music was cheese as it got but here taste was hardly classic. Singing along to some cheese k pop number a loud roar of a moterbike was constantly chugging by her, a large bike, male, no helmet. The 12th chug start was slightly jarring and getting to her.

Thr road cleared up ahead as she aggressively put her foot down and sped past the biker, the white Landrover discovery could move when it wanted to. Arriving at Swan songs she parked up behind In a near by car park before swapping from trainers to a low pair of heals.

Swan Songs Blues and Jazz evening . Monday Evening

Walking slowly over to Swan songs thr band was beginning to warm up. She was abit early but it meant she could relax bit and took a sofa near its bar with a mocktail and enjoyed a people watch as the band played a few easy numbers to get sound right.

She looked round as a few milled about and staff did last minute preparation doing her best to look lady like in a nicely fitted little black dress above the knee and heals after a day wearing a baggy flight suit.

Marinalia could dress up when she wanted to. The people from the old Starboard last night would probbly have to double take as she played with a delicate silver necklace, 3 interlinked moons, a gift many years before by a past friend and lover.

i should have a post up tomorrow by this time.

been doing some conversion bits and pieces for something.

Test Coding zone Sol City

Victoria Darya Romus “vika”

Name: “Lady” Victoria Darya Romus “vika” "Lady De Winter"

Age: 23

Appearance: Once athletic like her half sister she suffered from a rare condition, though she survived this has left her weaker and noticeably her skin tone like fresh snow and is a fair bit shorter than her sister. She relies on walking stick to walk and is fairly slim build.

Longer pale blonde haired with a detailed platt weaved in (like deneris Targerian, Got) , the pale skin and lighter hair can be a little bit disconcerting to some people, shares matching grey eyes with her sister. They both look like related but not identical.

Height: 4;9 to 5’0

Weight: 95 Pounds

Likes:

Warm weather but not heat waves
Geeky fun
Tea
Loyal to family
Independence
Laptop and digital in general.
Sweet tooth

Dislikes:

Athletes
General fitness freaks etc
Cold weather
Those who treat her as helpless
Intense sunlight, she burns easily.
Having to rely on others too much if she can help it.
People staring
Overly spicey foods
Betrayal and false friends.
Those who treat her like she is helpless despite needing help at times.

Zodiac Sign: Aires

Special Talent: able to perform a near pitch perfect lara croft impression and has a knack with fixing a wide range of digital devices that at times defies logic.

Profession: Works from home, App and digital coding, also supported by a allowance from her father as her illness left her unable to work full time.

Bio/Personality: Born to Vesarian after he left Maria , her mother was killed in a accident when she was young and seeking a redemption for leaving his first daughter he vowed to never let down his second.

Her life was fairly normal to begin with bar her father being away alot as part of his job and often was in care of a nanny or other relatives around half the year.

She was a normal confident teanager before the condition hit her and was a promising track athlete, even attracting attention of the county scouts. All that was to come to end when she began to weaken, her skin went pale as snow and soon things looked dire.

Her father who had made his money in the shipping industry working on jobs regardless of the moral aspects and high on the financial reward soon plowed every resource he had into finding a cure for the condition and rapidly made a large dent in his fortunes he had earned.

The recovery took several years in which she was often stuck at home or hospitals and soon began learning to code apps and other digital systems. Plenty of time to learn she soon mastered it and found she enjoyed it, also meaning she could work from home and avoid some of the stares she got in public.

Though she began to regain her confidence she never was going to regain her skills and fitness she had. She eventually regained contact with her half sister and the two soon formed a strong bond once they got to know each other.

She ended up at shine city after her father's business arrangements when exposed in a documentary on armaments shipments to Africa. With less friendly attention growing back in England she decided to move in with her sister and start afresh over in Shine City where she was just another young woman.

Her title stems from her father, much like her sister but the family wealth and estate was spent and gone several generations ago and all their current wealth was built by her father.

Her personality and confidence slowly began to recover after her illness and also earning her own money after years of being supported by her father or others. Though still needing some support she has began to regain her independence and moving in with her sister was the best option available.
and though slow to trust and warm is very loyal once her friendship is earned.

Working in coding and digital systems has meant she can escape the office and work from home, not tied to a county she was able to carry on her work even when forced to move countries. Both her father and half sister have been very protective of the youngest member of the family, despite her desire for independence she has long realised she does need some support day to day.

Your character's favorite song:

The following is not required, but we strongly encourage you to at least put a little something. In the past we have found that when players get to know each other as real people, not just as names on a screen, it helps the longevity of the game. Seriously, please get to know your fellow players.

Swan Songs: by aladdin_sane

Located in our beautiful historic district Swan Songs has been Sol’s number one provider of records and tapes since 1976.

“My father Isaac was always adamant that a healthy city is artistically vibrant. And at least to me music is the most important of the Arts” says Rupert Kingsley 44 who inherited the business after his father at the age of 87 retired with his wife Mandy to the sunny shores of Florida in 2004.

Rupert and his staff have curated a large collection of music from all genres; they also offer great selections from both mainstream staples and more eclectic artists. While they do not carry everything ever recorded Rupert ensures us that Swan Songs is always adding new stock and the store would be more than happy to appraise your collection if you wish to sell.

Throughout the years, the shop has offered more than just albums; they have provided a spot for our more musically inclined residents to congregate and perhaps perform. Rupert prides himself on supporting local bands and the windows of the shop are normally plastered with ads for upcoming gigs or “musician wanted” posters. Swan Songs also sell albums, EPs, and singles from local bands and artists; some these great local selections include Lyclene obscurilinea from the post-punk outfit Louis-Pierre Gravel, Bottle Rocket the latest release from the darkwave band Kremlin, and the somber new album from M33 entitled L'Estaque, Melting Snow Once or twice a month the store will transform itself into a live venue for a local or touring band to perform.

“Newcomers to the city are always asking about the local scene and what bands they should check out” says Kingsley “Our helpful staff are always happy to point those folks in the right direction.”

So if you are looking to expand your musical horizons you would be doing yourself a huge disservice by not visiting Swan Songs. They are located on 412 W 18th street next to Café Clover and Lawful Good Gaming.
