Picture


Clothing and description: Reria is a cute and bubbly little girl. She stands at a not-so-intimidating four feet and eleven inches and weighs less than one hundred pounds. Her body has hit puberty and she is starting to develop. Her curves remain subtle but noticeable and her chest has already blossomed. Must of her baby fat is gone, though little resides in her thighs. Her face carries small features, but seems larger than usual because of her smile and bubbly demeanor. Reria's nose and mouth are both small while her silver tinted eyes are usually wide with a happy look to them. She does her best to keep a happy look on her face, like a ray of sunshine at all times, thus giving her a happy and confident presence.

She keeps her long pale black hair straight and rarely fashions it due to the fact that she does not know how. Her limbs are short as her body is growing what seems to be from the center outward. Because of this, she'll keep her childish stature for quite some time before her height and weight matches her development. Reria's typical clothing isn't as elegant as her lineage, nor is it as poor as her lifestyle. While somewhat fancy, it shares a modest look to it. It’s like taking normal clothing and adding a touch here or there to make it look better than it actually is.

She tends to prefer straps with detached sleeves along with skirts. She takes pride in her clothing and enjoys showing how well she can make something look nice, even if it isn't that amazing. Reria usually carries a small bag with her. As a girl with few real possessions, she keeps only the most essential things within it. For her, that means a snack, some money, another snack, and small things she picks up that she could find to be useful for later.

History: Fifteen years before the present, there was an island in crisis and a kingdom in need. They both shared the name that was pretty much unknown to the world due to being a very closed off kingdom. It was known as Ortus Vis Vires. It’s an island that’s name and origin have been long forgotten in the course of time. However, the island had a problem, it was sinking. The entire kingdom that resided on that island would sink along with it. And so, the royalty of this island had to make a choice. They either had sink with the island, or command the citizens to assimilate into the outside world and live among everyone else. They made the decision of abandoning their home and living with the rest of the world in order for the kingdom to survive in the hearts of its former citizens. They wanted their people to continue living on, even if that meant sacrificing their royal positions and everything they had worked for in the kingdom.

However, the people did not agree with this. They felt the island could still be saved and that the royal family should be doing something to prevent it. They felt the family was trying to split the citizen up in hopes of making off with the kingdom’s treasure, the Finite Eo Es Itum. The royal family’s intention was to let it sink to the bottom of the sea with the island. And because of this difference in opinion, anarchy crept into the island’s final days, led by the royal family only son, Shigo. Because of his actions, that disregarded the safety of citizens, he was disowned. It was four years of war on the island and four years of wasted time that could have been used to move on to the outside world.

However, the fighting would continue until the royal family gave up and fled the island. Their reason was not because they were losing. No, they had a huge advantage. The reason for fleeing was news that the queen had become pregnant once again. And to raise a child outside of a life of war and safely on an island that was not sinking, the family decided to leave. They left seven of their most prized guardians known as the Elite Eight to continue to try and persuade the people. They would continue to try and bring peace to the island in order to get everyone to leave it safely. However, that would never come to pass. The sinking and fighting continued and the majority of the kingdom and its occupants met death at the bottom of the sea. Those that did leave still bear a grudge against the family that abandoned them.

Meanwhile, the royal family had moved away from the island, away from the ocean to the mainland. There, the lived there days as normal people of the world. They lived an easy life and tried to keep the environment safe for their new baby. However, this easy life would not be so easy. First, it was the former king. News of the island finally being doomed had reached him and even against the wishes of his wife and the only remain member of the Elite Eight, he set out to make sure that any stranglers would be able to get off the island and get started in the world. However, since the day he left, he had yet to return. The former queen was left with the final member of the Elite Eight, Volkanstein, to raise her child.

Reria, the child in question would never see or remember her father at all. And unfortunately, she would only have vague memories of her mother as well. As early as five was when Reria last saw her mother. She had left her in the care of Volkanstein in order to follow what her father had set out to do. But she also wanted to make amends to the surviving citizens of her kingdom. It was her duty as royalty and a duty that made her leave Reria. Volkanstein continued to raise Reria, never claiming to be her father or relative and always being straight about her with her parents and what they set out to do. They did not abandon her; they set out to perform their last duties as royalty. In those early years, Reria lived the life of the typical young child. She played, she learned, and she grew.

But things would change one final time when she was eleven and now in the present. She was even taught about her former kingdom and their grand Elite Eight. Volkanstein, the last of her “family” had decided that he would return Reria’s father and mother back home. Too many years had gone by without word from her family and he chose to return them to her. But after he left, Reria was all alone. She had no one left and while she was still support by the money sent to her by Volkanstein, she didn’t want it to be like this. So just like he father, and her mother, and her guardian, she set out, on her own to search for her “family” and return them. He left her in the safest place on the planet, ironically named Death City, to live until he returned. He would send money and essentials during his travels to be sure that she stayed well.

However, she was not an overconfident child. She knew she couldn’t possibly survive on her own. However, she had royal blood in her and there was a tradition she could use to keep her safe. Every lead member of the royal line had to gather their own Elite Eight. It was a right of passage for those that would lead. So, Reria set out to do just that. She was going to form her own Elite Eight and search out what she had lost. She was going to rebuild her family and possibly, even her kingdom.

Personality: Reria is a rather sweet girl and is extremely charismatic. She tries hard for those around her and is always looking to do something nice for others. She holds the kind of innocence that perfectly fits a cute little sister. Unlike most her age, she isn’t all that rebellious or sneaky and is generally a good person. There are a lot of things she doesn’t understand due to her innocence and is a little slow at times when it comes to street smarts. She doesn’t catch on to the older sayings and phrase that are still popular. Reria is also dense, thus relationship-wise; things are pretty hard for her to understand when it involves herself. Unless told directly, she will most likely never notice that some one likes her and just think that they were being nice or friendly.

She is very trusting of people and usually never thinks that a person would do something bad if she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes. She likes to have some one around to help her out and hates to be alone. She’s only just learning to cook and thus, is horrible at it. Reria has a love for chocolate. It’s one of her favorite things, her second being yogurt. When the both are combined, Reria calls it her paradise. Reria carries a high tolerance for mental pain. While things like betrayal, hatred, and abuse still affect her, she tries her best not to let people see those things and see her weak. She wants to be the smile that's always there. However, even a sweet and innocent girl like Reria has her dislikes and hates. She hates it when people talk badly about her clothing or former kingdom and will go out of her way to defend them. She also dislikes people who are loud and rude and speak as if they rule the world when they don’t really know what they are talking about.

Abilities: Reria has no true abilities or powers to speak of. She is a completely normal human for the most part and is unable to perform anything combat orientated. She will never be able to become a meister of anything of the sort. One could say that she is the damsel-in-distress type. However, the one unique feature that Reria has is a large and bountiful soul. Her soul is insanely pure, sharing no darkness within it. It’s the type of soul that is always shining brightly with innocent. When combined with her helplessness, it makes her are rare and very delicious snack for those that consume human souls.

What Reria does have, however, is the Elite Eight. They are eight chosen guardians that pledge their undying loyalty to her. However, this is something that she must seek out and obtain herself.

Combat Style: Reria has the combat ability of a speck of dust. She has probably the most harmless human on the planet. To put it bluntly, she can not truly harm anyone.

Miscellaneous Information:

Roleplay Sample:

“One chocolate ice cream please!” A small girl said while standing on the tips of her toes. Her head just barely popped over the edge of the counter as her eyes watched the man’s hands. She grasped her money tightly, ready to hand it over the moment her ice cream cone was done and made. She was ready for it, what child wasn’t. The man worked for what seemed to be an eternity. The young girl fidgeted impatiently as she stood, watching him grab a cone and scoop two things of chocolate into it. And as he lifted it to the counter, the smile on her face grew wider and wider. It was time! The girl, Reria, rushed the money to the counter and was handed the ice cream cone. She pulled it down to a comfortable position and stared at it for a moment. Then, with a wide smile, she looked back up to the man and bowed. “Thank you very much!” She said with excitement as the man scratched the back of his head, chuckling softly. “Anything for a cutie.” He answered. Taking her cone, she would then head home, ready to tell Volkanstein of her day and tell him again about how wonder chocolate ice cream was. However, completely unknown to the girl, there would be no one waiting for her there. The last member of her “family” had left to do what the others had left to do and she would be alone for the first time.

Yoiii Scarlet ^__^

I have to say this is a very well written profile! Everything is very nicely explained, and the history is quite nice too.

My main concern here is the Elite Eight. I've spoken a little to Imp about this, and at the moment we are wondering about the following--
  • How will Reria gain her Elite Eight?
  • Are the Elite Eight characters, or are they sidekicks? By this I mean...
    Character: A character is basically like Reria, or Jazz. They are independent characters who can do what they like. They can RP with whoever they want- either alone or with someone else. (Think X-men, or any superhero group where they often split up and do their own thing)

    Sidekick: A sidekick is someone who only ever appears with a character. A character might have a sidekick that only sometimes appears, but the sidekick is never seen without its character. The sidekick is more of an extension of it's character, than a character unto itself. (Think pokemon, where Ash decides what sidekick(s) he is going to use, and then tell them what to do)

    I'm totally okay with people getting themselves sidekicks- Radek the golem technician has 3 sidekicks, and Will the weapon has 1 sidekick. Twins are basically treated in this way too (they are treated as a single entity, like how Liz and Patty are always together).

    If they are sidekicks, then they would all be within Reria's profile (so it is easy to see them all as she gets them), and how much detail you put into them will be entirely up to you. The best way to put them in Reira's profile would probably be to create a spoiler tag:
    [spoiler=Elite Eight Member 1] Like this[/spoiler]


    Elite Eight Member 1



    People also tend to use this format if they are a "shaman" or Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde type character who can summon different personalities / people.

They will be gained at the end of a series of adventures that is centered around that member. Much like how a story arc will last multiple episodes, it'll be something that will last multiple "missions" as you call it here. They are also not something that will happen one after another. A single story will happen here for one, then go to another or random mission story and then come back to it late,r happening in parts until that member agrees to become a part of the Elite Eight and thus, asked for through whatever mod system the board has set up.

As I told Imp multiple times, they will only ever be in topics with Reria, not alone, thus would fall under your definition of sidekicks. They each have their own personalities, goals, and histories, but they will only be in topics when they are involved directly with Reria somehow. NEVER will they lead a topic alone without her.

As for spoilers and things, that's fine. As I asked at the beginning of all this, I did not know how NPCs would be stored. I wanted to write full profiles for them and link them back to Reria's profile. However, if it's fine to have 8 profiled spoiler tagged within Reria's, I can do that too. (Though coding will have a bit of clutter...X_X)

Characters get upgraded (through new powers, sidekicks, whatever) through training threads, if you're curious :3

I'm pretty happy with the profile itself (it is written very nicely), but I must admit I'm terribly curious about how Reria will obtain her first Elite Eight member (as she has no combat ability/smarts). Missions usually involve fighting kishin eggs, or exploring something, or solving a mystery. Could you divulge your plans? :3

Oh, and I thought I should mention Imp and I are totally okay with some of her Elite Eight being other people's OCs ^_^ It'd make some nice RPing for all involved, and be very 'Soul Eater.'~ Having an OC as an Elite Eight also would not require a training thread :3

Well, she lives in Death City, so of course she'd ask for the students of Shibusen for an escort while she searches for these people. And if anyone wants to pledge their undying loyalty to her for well...the rest of their lives, that's fine too.

As for how she'll obtain her first, it'll be the same as the rest. She'll have to do so after a long line of stories. Yes, that means she'll be completely defenseless by herself in an incredibly danger world, but that's kind of the point of the character....>.> If I made it so she could protect herself while she looked for these people, I wouldn't have the chance to RP with anyone else....
