Katarina Brook Appearance (As a kid) http://itshairstyles.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Popular-Haircuts-for-Kids-Hairstyles-Trends-and-Haircuts.jpg (Now) Race: Kelvic : White Tiger (lives to be 25!) Gender: Female Age: Fives Birthday: 508av, spring, 46 (5 years old) Birthplace: South of Nyka, North of the Lykolav mine! Appearance: Katarina is 5'10 and is quite tall for her family was quite short. She has long dark brown hair, with lighter highlights that are messy and tangled. It curls out into natural ringlets that run down her back. Her eyes are a cool aqua blue and shaped like a cats eyes. She has full lips and if she opens her mouth you will see to elongated canine teeth. She is lithe and graceful. Anyone who watches her walk would categorize her as a dancer. Her ears are hidden underneath her hair, but they end in points a side effect of being a tiger shifter. She has a long scar running along her cheekbone a mark from learning early that in this world you have to know how to protect yourself. Character Concept Personality: Kat avoids big crowds, preferring the solitude of being alone or with one or two other trusted people. She does not have a home to go to at the end of the day, the animal in her preferring the outdoors, rooms making her feel closed in and trapped. She’s a little more instinctive and doesn’t think things through as much as a normal human would. It also means she finds it hard to empathize with people and understand others thought processes. People think animals are generally impatient and quick to jump into things they can’t get out of, but that’s not entirely true. The Siberian tiger is very patient, unlike most human children, letting Katarina be both a elusive stalker and a pro thief. Likes: Katarina likes being alone preferably in dark / cool places. She loves watching other animals interact always looking for better tactics for hunting, stalking and other useful tools. I wouldn’t say she likes fighting, but Kat likes a challenge once in a while her Tiger loving the feel of the fight and or chase. If she doesn’t indulge it once in a while she gets anxious her animal wanting a confrontation. She loves nature preferably forest or jungles. Loving to explore uncharted territory. She loves to run and hunt. Riding is always a favourite. Because the horse doesn’t have the best sense of smell it’s not afraid of her as long as she’s careful not to shift near it. She loves the water and sandy beaches, the smell free of pollution or smog helping her find some peace. Dislikes: Kat hates slavers with a passion and if she should come across one she may kill them and takes care of their slaves, she might even find them a home and try to make a new life for them. Katarina doesn’t like two groups of people the Nyka and the Ravok because of her past history with them. Her biggest pet peeve is people that complain about family or siblings, considering she lost hers early, she’s disgusted with people who don’t feel honoured that they still have a parent or sibling Character History Katarina’s life started out quite perfectly. She had a mother wolf shifter, who taught her how to be a Tiger. She taught her how to hunt and how to set her paws just right so when she walked she didn’t make a sound. She taught her everything about being a predator. Her dad on the other hand was an old guard, turned thief. He had been bonded with their mother for two years before they had Katarina. Her father taught her hand to hand combat as human and taught her to wield a knife. But most importantly he taught her how to steal and pickpocket with the best of them. But when Kat was almost two, her mom was pregnant with her soon to be little brother, her father was caught stealing by a monk guard at Nyka and was hanged before news reached their family. From then on things changed, Kat’s mother went to someplace else. Yes, she was right beside Kat, but her mind wasn’t there always wandering never staying with Kat for long. Her brother Colin was born (Named by Kat) and still nothing changed. Katarina was soon hunting to keep her family alive, while taking care of her newborn brother, and making sure the fires were lit and the house was protected. When her brother got a little older she had to also teach him how to survive in his shifter form an Eagle. One night when Katarina had just turned three she came home from a flying lesson with her brother when she smelt blood. She ran inside to see her mother lying in a pool of her own blood dying. She tried to save her, but her injuries were too severe. As she lay dying her mother finally came out of her shock enough to make her promise something. That she would take her brother and never return. She told her mom that she wouldn’t let anyone hurt him or taken away from her. With a smile her mom passed on her last words being I’m so proud of you Kate. At four years old her brother just turning two, Kat was a master of many things. She could hunt, fight, steal and run with the best of them all while teaching her brother how to do all these things to. Her brother was a master spy, his eagle form getting him into anything from the tops of mountains to the highest walled cities. Together they were the perfect team. One night her brother had insisted on keeping watch, telling her she was far too exhausted to stay up and longer and because he was right she curled up beside the fire he’d prepared under her watchful eye and fell into a sleep that was deeper than it had been in years. She woke to the sound of a bird screeching and when her sleep jostled mind registered that Colin was a bird she jolted awake already running. She saw him then, in eagle form a rope around his ankle. She Shifter into a Tiger and barreled toward them, but they were ready for her and all she remembered was something hard ramming into her and then she was on the ground eyes still open watching them drag her brother away. The last thing she heard was the oldest man say “Hurry let’s get back to Ravok before she awakes.” When she awoke next it was daylight and all her stuff was gone. She managed to track their foot prints in the wet ground. They stopped at a dock right outside Ravok. Now she waits wishing she could arrive at Ravok and rescue her brother, but knowing she won’t help him by going there with no plan. So She waits knowing every second she’s not there they could be doing anything to him!

Greetings Traveler!

There are a few inconsistencies on your Character sheet that we need to get sorted out, but don't worry, we'll have you back on the road in no time!

Name: Brooklyn, is a real world location and will not be able to be usable as a name for your Kelvic, you can simply remove the last name and just go by Katarina, or you can change it.

Race: A Siberian Tiger is also a very real world term. Instead you could just refer to yourself as a white tiger.

Age: A kelvic ages much more swiftly than a human, reflecting their animal nature. A nine year old tiger is past it's physical prime, and would most likely be like role playing an elderly woman. If you want your character to look nine years old you will have to change your Kelvic's age. A good idea would be to research tigers and figure out their lifespan and when they are fully mature, figure out some awesome tiger facts!

Birthday: The birthday listed is currently incorrect, suggesting that Katarina is actually 11 years old, once you have edited your charcters age, just make sure to reflect that in the birthday as well!

Language: While it is not required for you to explain, you might want to think of how Katarina learned Kontinese, if she is just arriving on Mura, where did she learn it from?

Skills:
Skills should be set up in this format (the same coding as your ledger)

Skill	EXP	Total	Proficiency
Skill 1	# SP	#	Novice
Skill 2	# SP	#	Novice
Skill 3	# RB, # SP	#	Competent

Code: Select all

[table2=#FFFFFF,#00BFBF][b]Skill[/b] | [b]EXP[/b] | [b]Total[/b] | [b]Proficiency[/b]
Skill 1 | # SP | # | Novice
Skill 2 | # SP | # | Novice
Skill 3 | # RB, # SP | # | Competent[/table2]

This way you can denote that your 15 points in hunting were derived from 10 RB and 5 SP, if you take my meaning.

There is no such skill as 'People Skills', 'Thievery', or 'Hand Combat' these can be translated rather easily into things like Socialization, Larceny, Unarmed Combat, or Brawling. I would check the Skill List to see which traits fit best.

Your point total in skills comes to 56, you have four more points to give yourself for a total of 60 starting points!

Also, you are not allowed to put more than 30 points into any one skill, or less than five during character creation. Currently you have two skills that breach the less than five rule.

Lore: This is a similar inquiry to the one before. If your character is just landing on Mura, how does she know of Avalis or the History of Mura? You do not have to explain, but perhaps there are other events in Katarina's past with her brother and parents that would reflect better for her starting lore.

Possessions: While a simple cloak or coat is given to any starting character, you have both listed in your inventory. If you would like both, merely check the Price List and deduct the cost of the clothing from your ledger, if not you can simply remove one!
