Elleon

[Elleon]

Name: Elleon

Age: Appears 23 true age 65

Race: Fairy

Height: 5'6" or 1" in form

Weight: 165lbs or 6lbs

Physical Description: She is lovely as all fae seem to be to humans. She has medium length chestnut hair with golden and black streaks. It flows with loose wave like curls but is easily tied back with a a black ribbon she keeps wrapped around her wrist for those times. She is a larger woman with a lot of chest and hip. She's still physically fit but is in no way the typical fae in the sense that she's an thin break able creature.

Possessions: Wearing a long flowing brown skirt, ankle height brown boots, a tight green top with flowing length, and short sleeves. On her wrist is a ribbon wrapped several times and tied. She wears a few rings and a green stone (appears like an emerald) on a chain around her neck which is beautiful rapped in a brass colored wire. She carries a backpack with another outfit, a book, charcoal sticks, a glass orb and a stack of orcal cards.

Powers or Strengths: Elleon is in no way poor but where she gets her money she doesn't share it just always seems to be there. She has an afirmity for the elements of earth and water. She rarely uses them for more then getting a drink or forming shelter when traveling but they can be used as weapons or defensive to sweep people off they're feet, block paths with trees, rocks or water. The element must be close (she can't summon earth in the middle of the ocean).
Elleon can lure a stream of water from a body of water this can be used for collecting drinking water.
With an incantation "streby" and a directive (sweep away for wave, bind for binding, whip for whip ect) water comes to Elleon in the form of a small wave. Depending on the distance from the water it can be powerful as a wave crashing over a danger and sweeping it away or if at long stretches more like a water whip that can create a painful sting or cause tripping and binding but nothing more.
The incantation "Eath" and a directive and cause Earth to aid her. "Block" and a path may be blocked by small but hard to climb mountains forming, a hole forming to block or rocks falling to block a tunnel depending on earths choice. "shell" and earth bends to form a shelter of tree's cover, or forming a cave like area where there hadn't been.

With her glass orb and an incantation she can create an extremely blinding light that stuns those in a 7 foot radius blinding them for around 3-5 minutes. (This can be defeated simply by closing the eyes before the flash but its difficult to know its coming).
She is still learning to control the elements she is tied too there may be more she can do but she doesn't know yet. Many times things don't work out quite like she plans. Often when she's calm it all works out. She can fill her water pouch just fine. Its when things get tense or critical things don't quite work out as she plans once when being robbed in the forest she summoned "eath stop" and earth caved in taking the robber into the hole then closed. Though it stopped the man she didn't intend to kill him.

Weaknesses: Not knowing how she came to be she tends to be to trusting. She always seeks out fae in hope someone knows her, or has a way for her to remember. She's often been tricked but those saying they know can help her for such a price. She is also bond to her bag. She will not allow it out of her sight or off her body. The book she feels holds all she knows which sets herself up for it to easily control her

History: Elleon has been wandering the country for years. She doesn't reveal where she's from or about her family because frankly she doesn't remember. About fifteen years ago she awoke on the shores of a beautiful lake. She didn't know anything about herself, or how she got there. A kind human woman stumbled upon her and took her in. The woman who had never wed or had children saw Elleon to be as a child she could teach and raise. She is the one who began calling her Elleon, and taught the girl all she could. She taught her basic knowledge of the world, human life language and art. It wasn't until Elleon went to gather water that she found her connection to an element. Elleon went to the well and the bucket wasn't attached to the rope. Not wanting to walk back to retrieve another bucket then return Elleon sat on the ground. She'd been flustered this day since her 'mother' was not feeling well and she didn't seem to be helping. As she began to cry angery with herself for not doing all she could water rose from the well in a thin stream it filled the bucket and kept filling as the bucket over flowed and it wasn't until Elleon noticed the puddle that she looked up and saw the stream just before it stopped disappearing down the well. She took the water home and a few days later explained what happened to her mother. The woman who'd noticed other similar things over the past 2 years decided to test the idea she can control water. They went down to the well and Elleon tried, her mother watching from not far way. Elleon focused and wracked her mind until she finally stopped and sat on the ground she mumbled to herself "please water come up" and as she cried sure enough the water rose from the well. Her mother shirked in excitement causing Elleon to look up and water to splash down around her. In the following months Elleon figured it out and learned if she ask water will rise. Her mother asked locals and was directed to a Hermit in the forest near by. The two went to the man and though he was unpleasant he shared his knowledge and put them in contact with a fairy he knew who confirmed his suspicions that the girl was a fairy. The fairy worked with her to teacher her what he felt she needed to know. A little more on elemental control, the incantations for that and the orb, as well as how to shrink though she prefers not to. Though she returns to her 'mothers' village yearly she wanders the local country in hopes that someone will recognize her, or will know some way to restore her memory. In her book she draws the places she goes sketching the outside and some inside.

Hello and welcome to Thar. Thank you for submitting a character application. Now before I can get to accepting it I will need for you to help me with clarifying a few things.

First of all, I am not sure if the height and weight numbers you provided fit with how you picture your character (as you left off any description of her body type in the physical description). I just wanted to ask if you intended for your character to be obese in her human form and twice the weight of a human newborn while in her fairy form? Now there is nothing wrong with playing a heavier character and if you had intended for her to be a larger girl, I applaud you for it. We don't get very many heavyset characters.

Now about her powers, I am going to need you to be more specific about what she can and can not do. Instead of saying that she has control over the elements (as we think saying elemental magic is too vague of a term) we would like to see something like "she can turn a palm-sized rock into water safe for drinking" or "she can coax a plant seed into sprouting" or "she can create a blinding light that can last for this long." We recommend that new players pick about four different things that fit with the character and that each spell have a short description of what they can do, how long or how much damage they can cause and what sort of limitation they have on each power.

I'd like to see more added to the weaknesses. Don't think of it so much as a limitation on the character as much as possible plot devices and goals for the character to work at. Maybe there is something she is afraid of that she would have to work against in trying to get something that she wants. Maybe there is sort of personality trait she has that works to her disadvantage and can occasionally wind her into a situation she doesn't have control over.

As for the history, I'm going to need more. I need to know more about the character and have more to evaluate your writing ability. I will need to know where she is now, if not where she is from. I want to know how she figured out she is a fairy and when she realized she can change her shape and size.

I'm going to recommend that you take a look at a few of our accepted characters if you need a clearer view of the level that we expect out of character sheets.

I've updated it. I still feel it needs work but I could use the feed back again. Thanks

I'm a little busy right now and I haven't had the chance to read through all your changes, if Kat doesn't get to commenting on this before I get home from work, I will look at it then.

[Elleon]

Thank you. Please let me know I may be away a few days. My computer has crashed.

Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you. I'm still trying to get everything moved over to my new house and I don't yet have internet there (trying to get that set up today).

Anyways, I'm going to ask that you read back through your app and try to make a few spelling and grammar fixes. I'd like to know where she got her orb from. I'd like one more weakness. And, I'm going to ask that you break the history into a few paragraphs.

[Niabi]

I had no idea that I was going to be without internet for a week. I'm sorry I couldn't get to finishing this before I lost internet.

So, I think I'm going to approve this. Welcome to Thar.
