Syl Snapdragon


Appearance

Race: Symenstra
Gender: Female
Age: 23
Birthday: 6, Winter, 490.
Birthplace: Kalinor

Appearance: "Murderously seductive in the ways of beguiling others with a direct gaze that will leave you lifeless."

Or at least that's what the victims would say if they could say since being dead tends to have the consequential means of preventing such trivial occurrences. It is sometimes hard to pick out Syl in a crowd if it weren't for those alluring blood crimson eyes of hers wishing to sap the very life out of the person standing next to her all because of a simple stomach rumbling. Being on the surface since the day she had decided to leave the clutches of the caverns of Kalinor, has led to her becoming more rugged and more physically fit than most of her kind.

Syl has a full head of unkempt never cut once long black hair that falls down to her lower back just before the curvature of her well defined hips. She has a petite looking face with a strong brow line accentuating her deep crimson eyes lending to the intensity of her gaze. Though her eyes call for much attention to her face they are not without competition found through the small slightly pointed tipped round nose, the deadly smile accompanied by the poisonous hypodermic lower canine and upper canine fangs, and the darkened lush black lips holding in the smile among a well curved pointed chin. Her head rest on a small neck centered by slim framed shoulders holding rather lengthy thin arms with thick knuckled hands having large jointed fingers while at the tips of them there are sharp black claw like fingernails to grace her soft caressing touch.

Character Concept

"I'll leave the thinking and dying to someone else. Thinking gets you killed and dying well..."

Syl says while slitting the throat of her most recent victim, a scholar that had done an investor wrong on his research project that ended up being nothing more than a scheme to embezzle finances.

Living on the road ever since she left the dark damp caverns of the Kalinor home, Syl has become quite the rugged of personalities. She is ruthless in her actions, confident in her work, and very poignant in keeping her word. Always taking the most direct and shortest path in her decisionmaking has led to benefits of development that would have not been attributed to her back in the cave. Her acquaintances culminating of mostly thieves, assassins, mercenaries, and other unsavory folk like tax collectors (tax collectors pay very steep for a job well done).

Jobs she has completed in the past that have shaped her personality are interrogator, torturer, and hired killer. She believes herself to be above common thievery yet knows who to go to if the situation calls for such an act. Information control, dispersion of pain, and the exactness of death allows her to find a niche in the world where she gains an internal sense of power. Though she cannot actually control the grand scope of things she confides in having control over her own personal day to day. Syl attributes most of her success to her keeping of her word as well as her employers. Syl will do anything and everything to make sure she does what she says she will do which is why she rarely says anything at all. Instead, she prefers to just act instead of tarry around and discuss.

"Diplomacy!? There's you're diplomacy." Syl says to the small time city official that had been responsible for running an underground slave ring while handing him a sack of the three heads, his wife, and his two children. "Now, sign here and we can roll this confession complete. Too soon? Well...maybe you should have thought about that before you began to roll out these common people as slaves!"

Character History

6, Winter, 490.
Syl is born unto father Dauvod and mother Snanlyn, consumed by Syl after the birth poison kills her.
6, Winter, 495.
Syl is allowed for the first time to venture to the surface where the light shines. The light blinds her but welcomes her. Syl begins to covet the surface world.
32, Summer, 501.
Syl is assigned a mating partner, Ddvaldus. Ddvaldus is considered the strongest possible partner at the time.
18, Spring, 502.
Syl slays Ddvaldus when he attempts to mate with her fearing that if she does become pregnant with his child that her life would essentially be over and her freedom to explore revoked. She becomes self-exiled.
9, Summer, 507.
After a few surface years, Syl completes her first assassination. She will never forget the way that the ex-soldier tasted with his lean soft tenderness she sucked him dry of leaving behind nothing but a shoddy corpse.
6, Fall, 509.
Syl loses her virginity after being charmed by an Isur blacksmith. The blacksmith loses his life when Syl takes it to far when consuming his seed.
57, Fall, 512.
Begins to devote herself to Dira out of rebellion towards Viratas and the Symenstra race.

Language

Fluent Language: Common. The Common tongue has become the most used form of communication by Syl since it is the most used in the day to day.
Basic Language: Symenos. The native tongue is not used often but she will never forget the soft seductive language.
Poor Language: Snake-tongue. Through her meddling with the Dhani she has picked up a few bits of the language though she realizes that she will probably never be able to master it on account of her fully tongued mouth.

Syl Serin [review]

Postby Syl Serin on March 31st, 2013, 8:52 am

General Information :
1. What is your Name?
Syl Serin
2. Do you go by a nickname or pet name?
Don't disrespect the name my mother gave me. Pets are food.
3. How old are you?
23
4. What is your height?
5' 4"
5. What is your weight?
116 lbs.


Aesthetics :
1. Describe yourself as you see yourself.

I see a person who has experienced things and has fell into a life of misery. I see with my eyes a person who does not belong anywhere. I see a person who is surrounded by death. I see a person who does not have a chance at love. I see nothing other than a mere tool of death. Why should I see anything else? None of those other things has held true.

2. Describe yourself as others typically see you.

Others, see me as this false exterior of false happiness because they demand to have people around them that go on through life without a care in the world. I care, I truly do about people. I can't stand to see someone restricted or chained down. When letting people in the past see through to who I really am...I...I...don't want to talk about it. Please, don't put me through it again. It's why I hate being a Symenstra.

3. What is your favorite body feature?

I can't decide between my eyes or my legs. I love my eyes because I am able to see the world. I love my legs because they can take me to new places I have not seen or have not tarnished yet with bad memories.

4. How physically fit are you?

For my race, I'd say that I am not as strong as the strongest of the males, but I do believe that I am one of the most dexterous. The Esterians have not yet captured me to bring me back home to where I will be raped and forced to give birth to a child that shall kill me. Is this how my Mother felt?

5. How do you typically dress and what is your style?


Family :
1. Who are your parents and what are they like?

I never got the chance to meet my mother. My fangs leaked with a potent venom from within her womb, killing her dead. As for my father, one of the most devout of the Esterian sect. I have never been treated anything more than an objectified birthing machine. Though why did he show me the surface world when he truly feared that I would seek it? I wish I could ask him.

2. Do you have any brothers or sisters?

It's impossible.

3. What is your extended family like?

I threw all that away in Kalinor but, to call them a family in Symen terms is far from your interpretation of family in the human world. As for my, human terms, family...I don't know if it is possible.

4. Do you consider close friends as important or more/less important than family?

More important because in a sense they are my family. I perish the act of someone entering my "close" circle of relationship because the lives of those people seem to be immediately torn down. I don't want to live through that ever again.

5. Do you treat animals like family?

No, they are food. Well, except cats. Cats are the scourge of the earth someone should exterminate them all. Is that a cat? Achoo! Achoo! Oh petch, no!


Location :
1. Where were you born?
Kalinor
2. Where do you live now?
Wherever I roam.
3. If you could live anywhere in Mizahar where would that be?
Far away from Kalinor.
4. Do you have a favorite place to vacation or spend leisure time?
I do like dark closets. They make nice places to live. I wish I could live in a big closet with more closets inside of it.
5. Where do you fear to be?
On display in Kalinor receiving punishment for all to see.


Traits :
1. Do you have any physical weaknesses (disease, scars, and missing limbs?)
I don't fair well in a fist fight.
2. Are you right handed or left handed?

Both. If my feet were hands I'd say...umm...what would I say?

3. What languages do you speak? What do you sound like? Do you have an accent?

Common, Symenos, and a little bit of Snake-Tongue I picked up after finding shelter there for a few months among them. I was very surprised at how welcoming they were. Then to only find out that the friendly gesture was not entirely friendly.

When I spent time in Sultros the Isur men always asked me a lot of questions. I bet now that I think about it...its because of the way I spoke being so soothing to their ears that they...did have to go wash themselves in the restroom a lot for some reason. Hmm...wait a second...eww, gross.

4. Do you have any odd mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
I get sort of competitive around spiders. I feel like they're moving in on my territory. I will never own a house of my own. I can't be tied down, to be tied down is to die.
5. Do you have (or want to get) any tattoos or piercing? Why do you have them (or will get them) ?

Paint me all over please. Piercings...maybe for fun in the fun places.


Occupations :
1. What is your occupation?
Whatever makes the best amount of GM with the least amount of effort. Though I prefer to have control over what I can do when on the job. Its probably why I like hunting so much. Though, what I'd really like to do is hunt...people who take other's freedom away from them.
2. Do you like/dislike your work? Why?
I love it. If it weren't for my work I'd be thinking and thinking means I'd be thinking about...Stop it, Syl. Let's just go a few trees down the row and see if we can find a deer r something. Yeah, let's do that.
3. If you could be anything you wanted to, what would you be?
A queen of Syliras so I could immediately end the governance by dismantling it from the inside. All governments should go...
4. What occupation do you admire the most? Why?
Healers. It's a concept so far from my existence.
5. What occupation do you least like? Why?
Not having one. Leads to thinking and stuff...


Childhood :
1. What sort of child were you?
A deadly one.
2. What is your favorite memory from childhood?
What is a "childhood."
3. What is your worst memory from childhood?
Seriously, what is?
4. What sort of relationship did you have with your parents?
Not one.
5. Who was your most influential role model?
This is a hard one...my mother. I can feel her soul with me at all times. I think this pendant allows her to help me somehow, to guide me through life from the beyond. I don't know I just...I think...no. I believe that this is how it is.


Education :
1. What sort of education do you have?
I was not privileged to schooling like the humans. I had to learn everything I know on my own.
2. Do you like/dislike learning?
I wish I could learn everything and then do it all again twice.
3. Where or how did you learn most of your skills/abilities?
On the road, in the woods, where I have roamed.
4. How do you learn best?
By doing something. Haven't tried much of that reading thing I see a lot of humans doing.
5. What are your educational goals for the future?
Wouldn't mind attending a sort of school like the humans have, though I think I am not allowed to attend.


Relationships :
1. Do you form close bonds with people? Why? Why not?
I fear death may befall those who get to close. It seems to follow me everywhere I go.
2. Do you trust people easily? If not, why not?
People don't trust me why should I trust them?
3. Do you consider yourself straight, gay, bi, or something else?
Wait...you mean in the surface world women have sex with other women!? This changes everything! Though if that is the case...Bisexual and wanting to experiment...
4. Have you ever been kissed? If so, describe the first time.
Yes. Oh how his warm lips pressed up against mine and sent the most encompassing...ughhh...damn that Thorgeald was a good kisser.
5. Have you ever had sex? If so, describe the first time.
Yes. I killed in bed and he lay dead. Ha. hehe... *cries* Thor...geald...


Drugs and Alcohol :
1. Have you ever been drunk? If so, describe your first time.
Let me tell you all about being drunk like I am starting to tell you now.
2. Do you like to drink on a regular basis?
What do you mean by regular?
3. What sort of alcohol do you prefer?
One that I can drown my mind in quicker.
4. Have you ever tried drugs (mood altering substances)? If so, which kinds and what did you think of them?
I'd rather not talk about this...it's sort of embarrassing.
5. What do you think of drugs and alcohol? Be specific.
I would like to have all of them...erghmm...I think you heard give me a lot of drugs and alcohol when what I really said was give me all the drugs and alcohol you have.


Likes and Dislikes :
1. What are your hobbies?
Things you do because you like them without getting paid for them. What kind of nonsense is this?
2. Do you like to read?
Wish I could.
3. What annoys you more than anything else?
Cats.
4. What do you find the most relaxing activity to do?
Shooting an arrow or bolt.
5. What kinds of things embarrass you? Why?
Saying things that are funny when unintended. I get sooo embarrassed that I practically turn as red as an Inarta.


Favorites :
1. What is your favorite color or colors?
All of them.
2. What is your favorite time of day?
That feeling after you just made a fresh kill.
3. What is the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen?
A pile of gold with jewels of many colors.
4. What do you like to eat? What do you hate to eat?
Soups. Steaks.
5. What is your favorite type of weather? Does any kind scare you?
Anything that doesn't have to do with storms. I hate rain. It sort of throws all my senses off. I can't climb, think straight, or even talk without sounding of low intelligence.


Outlook :
1. Are you optimistic or pessimistic?
Pessimistic.
2. What are your religious views?
I owe my life to Dira.
3. Would you be able to kill?
Already have.
4. What are your views on sex?
I'd like to be having more of it. Now, that means I will be avoiding any risk to a pregnancy.
5. What, in your opinion, makes a successful life?
Having a successfully meaningful death that people will remember. For me personally though, I want to raise a child of my own blood...I doubt that can happen though.

I try not to think about unhappy thoughts.
4. Who or what, if anything, would you die for?
A bit hard to answer this question since they're already dead.

Being asked a lot of questions. Cat people, the ones that collect housecats, I hate them much more than cats. I'm okay with the Kelvic cat people as long as they respect my allergies.


Relationships :
1. In general, how do you treat others?
I tend to keep them at a distance.
2. Who is the most important person in your life, and why?
For now, it would be myself.
3. Who is the person you respect the most, and why?
My father actually. Strange I know, but that's just the way it is. Just cause I respect the guy doesn't mean I have to like him. He did lose a wife when I lost a mother.
4. Do you have a spouse or significant other? If not, describe an ideal lover.
I not sure what an ideal lover could be for me. I think waiting for the surprise would be more fun.
5. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why
No. I don't trust much. I don't even trust myself. I could possibly poison myself if I accidentally bit myself, or so I think.


Group Situations :
1. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict?
I love to argue. Conflict should only happen when necessary and be one sided in my favor.
2. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations?
I suppose I do. Don't blame me its not my fault the other person makes it easy.
3. Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not?
No. It makes me nervous.
4. Do you care what others think of you?
Not really. Though if what they think can help keep me alive longer...then I hope its positive.

I tend not to dabble much.

Greetings!

Here are just a few notes I have:
  • Your descriptions are lacking in objectivity. While this is not a hard and fast rule of Mizahar, I would recommend you altering some things. Much of the language you use implies how your character should be perceived rather than an overview of how she truly is.
  • Please list either SP (starting package) or RB (racial bonus) next to your allotted Skill Points as to clarify what is being assigned from where.
  • Symenestran naming traditions are largely based on types of flowers. Please adhere more firmly to the lore! Serin, unless an assumed name, is not floral in any regard.

Once adjusted, please PM me and I'll remove this note post-haste.
