Prized Bride (A New Beginning)

Nadia Parnel

"I'm Nadia Parnel. I- I like the woods, and quiet."

Nadia Parnel

Race:
Gemminite

Age:
18

Element:
Fire

Height:
5'4"

Bio:
Nadia's parents were both Fire Gemminites who lived and raised her in a woodland cottage a little ways away from any towns or cities. They preferred the calm solitude that life in the woods offered as opposed to the busy life of a townsperson, and the relative safety of living like this. Her father worked as a merchant and so was away often, trading around the country, while her mother was a seamstress. Nadia eventually picked up the skills of both her parent's trades, learning how to make deals with people and how to make basically anything needed for the home that could be done with a needle and thread.

Nadia grew to be shy and nervous around other people at first, but good-natured enough that she would make friends easily. She didn't spend much time in town, but she was known around as a kind, well-mannered girl. She was taken in a reaping that was happening during a visit into town with her father, when a Drakken who was collecting another girl decided that she was a better catch.

Other:
Though her element is fire, it doesn't seem to reflect in her personality as much as it does others of her element. She is shy and contains her thoughts and emotions very well, she does not call attention to herself on purpose and excels at blending in, at least among Gems. She is kind and gentle towards others, but also very fragile, both mentally and physically- she's afraid to use her power around other people. If someone were to say that Fire Gems are like a campfire or a blazing torch, then Nadia is a lit candle on a calm night.

Dress

I'm fine with PMs or Fade to black stuff.

Onyx Briyll

"I could explain exactly how I feel about your offer, but, given the vocabulary and disposition you've shown yourself to have so far sir, you would likely only understand that what I say is directed at you, gargantuan brute."

Onyx Briyll

Race:
Gemminite

Age:
18

Element:
Earth

Height:
5'9"

Bio:
A librarian's daughter, her mother died when she was too young to remember, and her father was always busy with work around the city's library, so she was pretty much on her own for most of her childhood. With nothing else to do whenever she got bored, she taught herself how to read. She soon fell in love with the fictions she found, mysteries and adventures all just waiting to be read, feelings and images expressed on paper. She spent as much time as possible in the library, and that's where she was when the Drakkens came for her, lost in a fantasy. She didn't fight being taken at all, but only made one request- that she be allowed to bring her favorite book with her.

Other:
Onyx likes wordplay and writes poetry in her free time, her knowledge of books and fantasy making her very imaginative and childish when she wants to be. This fluidity of emotion and imagination makes it easy for her to come up with ideas and plans on the fly, and she's pretty good at lying too. She pictures herself as if the heroine of one of the novels she loves so much, and her confidence could be her downfall.

Kendra Riu Bell

"Kendra Bell of Haarahle, m'lord."

Kendra Riu Bell

Race:
Gemminite

Age:
18

Element:
Water

Height:
6'0"

Bio:
Raised on a small Island about 5 miles off the warm Coasts of Gemminia, Kendra's village was one of the few where the Gems refused to acknowledge the Drakkan or Reapings even existed. Kendra's parents never wanted her to fear for anything in her life, and so she didn't. She lived happily, up until the Reaping when the Drakkan finally decided to come to the small Island for the first time in almost 2 decades.

Other:
She's very much a wide-eyed innocent to all the bad of the world. Kendra has no prior knowledge of the Drakken, and she has no Idea how she's going to get through this just yet- but there is one upside: She's not scared, not yet anyway. Her parents raised her to be independent and strong-willed, but also they gave her a sense of trust in the world that will be very hard for anyone to truly break. Kendra believes in people, that they will do the right things, because in her mind everyone is inherently good.

-ADVERTISMENTS-
Found near the Forests - Nadia Parnel
A pretty little Fire Gem in need of a husband. She definitely won't break your heart- unless you actually treat her nicely, that is. Otherwise she'll eventually gain some courage and attempt to kill you be the perfect wife!

Buried in a Book - Onyx Briyll
A down-to-Earth yet graceful Gem. She has a tendency to speak her mind, but the sharp wit and quick tongue is usually held still behind a sturdy book. She would be a loyal wife to any deserving Drakkan, though if you wish for her to submit to your rule, she must choose you, too.

Washed Ashore by Waves - Kendra Riu Bell
A Water Gem that is a bit less go-with-the-flow and a bit more of a child. She doesn't have any Fear in her heart, and there's a painful amount of hope in her eyes. She'd make a good wife to anyone willing to tolerate her optimist's worldview, and a fun one to break if you're into that. A word of Caution, however: a lack of fear inevitably leads to too much confidence.

@Melody00 Hey, looks good! A cook huh?

@Belle It seems they're all being put here until the thread goes up
I'm gonna put mine up here shortly

Desired Star [C]

oh, I forgot to put this here: I have maps of the planet's playable continent and the Amrin's Human/Orrbe Containment Facillity! Also a few images for what the Human spacesuits kinda look like.

@StarLordess Looks great!

Now we just need more people so this can start

Prized Bride (A New Beginning)

@Emma the way it's worked before has been that a party of drakkans will go to the Gem towns and grab the pretty girls, bringing them to the Fortress on the border of Gemminia and Drakka so that the lords and whoever could just go there and pick the ones they wanted without having to go through the "dragging screaming girls away from home" bit themselves. as for the Age range, they need the Gems to be able to have kids for them, so younger ones are preferred. I suppose they might grab an older 20's woman if she were pretty enough, but It's unlikely.

The Gems don't really gather for the reaping, they actually try to hide their kids away from the Drakkans when they show up. I remember there being something about Gems even killing beautiful girls on purpose so they wouldn't be taken.
