Naje

General Information

Name: Naje
Gender: Female, Apears Male
Age || Birthday: (birthday day/month is fine) Unknown to her, most likely late teens early twenties
Race: Mortal
Location: Traveler
Trade/Occupation: Theif, Street performer, former blacksmith apprentice

Appearance

General Appearance: {Try to be descriptive: should include hair (style)/eyes/skin colour, facial shape, build, clothing, distinctive marks (like scars) etc.)
Naje is a mysterious person in looks and personality. A lifetime of malnourishment and running from monsters, the law, agents of justice, bandits, and everything in between has left her small and somewhat muscular. She has little to no curves and wears loose fitting clothes giving her the appearance of a young boy. Scars cover nearly ever inch of her body from a life time of close calls and near misses. Her tanned skin would give her the appearance of a foreigner if not for her blue eyes and short messy cropped brown hair. Her clothes are almost always torn or ripped but the one consistent article of clothing she has is a long brown robe.

Weapons: Naje has a dagger attached to each wrist, and usually has three other daggers attached to her belt for juggling.

Items/Personal Belongings/Ownings: Naje usually carries a knapsack that contains an extra set of clothes, coins, a small bedroll, a vial of oil and rope.

Personality

General Personality: (your characters interaction with others. Try to be detailed and desribe good and bad traits, likes and dislikes, strenghts and weaknesses.)
Naje isn't used to dealing with people for long periods of time unless money is involved. She's loud, rude and selfish. She has never known fear, so she has had frequent problems with authority. Her stubborn nature has kept her from learning her mistakes, so she is constantly running headfirst into situations without giving things much thought.

Hobbies: Knife juggling, pick pocketing, adrenaline rushes, throwing contests

Quirks: Naje has a fear of spiders. She's also easily swayed by shiny things.

Fighting Naje prefers mid range to close combat. Her weapons allow her to disable opponents from a distance, and her small stature and speed allow her to evade powerful attacks and use her opponents strength against them.

Favourite Weapon: Daggers
Weapon Skills: Anything that can be thrown (darts, rocks, slingshots)
Strengths in Fighting: Agility, Dexterity and Constitution (it takes a lot to wear her down)
Weaknesses in Fighting: Low strength, easily enraged, easily bribed into submission
Special Abilities: Being unseen, running extremely fast

Background

(Justify the above with a history of your character, explain why they are in the position that they are in now, job-wise/life-wise etc. Make it believable, we won’t accept weird histories with loads of drama etc. Also keep the greek life in mind, there are enough info topics on the forum to give you enough information/7.)

Naje was found by a river when she was only a newborn. Her parents and origins are unknown, and she was taken in by a farming family in a small neutral town. As was the nature of the time, the family soon became unfortunate casualties of a bloody political power struggle. The countries and even the name of the town are long lost and forgotten by Naje herself. She was passed from family to family for the sake of convenience. She never had a given name until she was eight when she found herself working as a blacksmiths apprentice. For two years she learned the trade and was even able to forge her own weapons. Her time with the blacksmith was cut short in a mysterious fire.

There were various rumors circulating the mysterious occurance. The common theory was that he angered the wrong person, or even a God. With no family or way to support herself, Naje travelled from town to town to try to find an answer.

Throughout her journeys she had banded with various bandits, robbers, and even mercenary groups to make her way. By the time she felt confident enough to travel on her own, she was a young adult and had all but forgotten her original intention of travelling. She picked pockets to support hereself and left town when authorities began to catch on. Along the way she began to learn to juggle her daggers as a form of earning money and a tactic for gaining the trust of those around her. As the years went by, her original mission was put on the back burner and she just began to focus on making it through the day.

Naje views the Gods as uncaring and cruel, so she doesn't go out of her way to stop by temples. She personally blames Hephaestus for the fire but she will frequently leave a small tribute to Hermes. She doesn't beleive that it will do her any good, she merely does it because it entertains her.


Roleplay example

(This should be around 2 or 3 paragraphs, we’re looking for quality rather than quantity. So, get some good description of thoughts/feelings, show off your talent. Can also be an RP post from another side, then just mention the character and the kind of site you play this character on (genre) )

A sharp intake of breath escaped her lips as she opened her eyes and awakened. Dawn was approaching and there was still much travelling to be done. Blue eyes made a quick scan of the camp and assessed that there had most likely been wildlife in the area searching for food.

"And I didn't even wake up. Haha, I must have really passed out!" she commented to herself. She shifted her weight to a squatting position as she surveyed the damage. Her posessions were so few that she quickly discerned that her last scrap of bread was missing. She let out a loud curse as she brought herself to her feet. This action brought her more discomfort as she made the realization that she had inadvertently slept with the hilt of her dagger pressed against her back. Though she had no trouble falling asleep the previous night, her muscles were screaming as punishments for last nights uncomfortable position.

In a small way, Naje would say that she was lucky to have such few possessions because it allowed her to pack up quickly. While she wasn't of the praying sort, she felt the urge to beg a deity for a large ferocious animal to appear to take out her frustrations on and replace the food that had been so unfairly taken from her. The mere idea of asking another, particularly a God, for help repulsed her so much that the idea of starving became much more appealing.

Well that was good profile, although I do want you to add an age (the age she thinks she is) as you do describe ages in her history. But I'm gonna accept the application anyway, just remember to add that ^^.

So welcome to AG and I hope you'll have loads of fun here!
