Verannia OCT Character Sheet

For

Name : November

Age : 45 Egeilian years.

Race : Arctic Egeilian

Gender : Equivalent to a female

Sexuality : None

Weakness : Bulky and unwieldy on the ground (very stiff posture, as well as being large – so basically bad agility). Almost any broken bones could severely hinder her movement (wings – she has difficulty or cannot fly. Legs – she cannot walk). Wings are good at taking stress, but sudden, sharp hits will break them if they hit the cartilage bones. She has difficulty in using environmental weapons on the ground (i.e. she cannot use any branches, swords, or what-have-you very well, as she has to use her mouth. She is able to use them better in flight, as she can use her legs and feet to hold them, but that poses predictability issues). She is strong but has no way of using that strength to directly hurt her opponent on the ground without the use of her wings, or charging. Unless the build of technology closely matches the build of her own species’, she will have a difficult time using other’s technology (for example, human or aliens with solid/multiple graspers). She is not stealthy in the air – her wingbeats are heavy and displace a lot of air. She is prone to overplanning and is subject to indecisiveness, which can result in inaction. She loathes magic and can become unreasonably consumed with the destruction of its user or owner if the opportunity arises. She has a conscious and logical understanding of people’s emotions, but due to species barriers and her inability to emotionally connect or understand people, she often underestimates how other sentient beings will react to her prodding and goading. She has difficulty recognizing individual human beings or other aliens quickly unless they have a large defining characteristic, although she has a good enough memory to assign a general “info tag” to the person in question.

Strength : She is very strong (i.e. can carry heavy loads, can pull and push and ram hard), and her thick yet light muscular sheets give very good protection, especially along her chest (so don’t expect to wind her unless you have one hell of a punch). She is fast on the ground and fast and decently agile in the air. She can be stealthy on the ground when she tries. She also has a lot of stamina. Her massive intellect and powers of observation are probably her greatest assets.

Likes : November is pleased by those who have contributed to society and science in a very meaningful way (as defined by her). She holds respect for those who are more intelligent than her, yet holds a dislike ranging from cold indifference to hate for those less intelligent or clever than her. She much prefers colder temperatures to warmer, and can overheat easily in the higher ranges of humidity and heat

Dislikes : She abhors any form of magic, and grows very bitter and sarcastic whenever the subject pops up. She perceives magic wielders as abominations of the universe. It is her duty to eradicate them, and, if the occasion allows for it, she will attempt to do so. She strongly dislikes lying, almost as much as she despises incompetence and idiocy. In business deals, she will carry out her side of the agreement to the letter unless of extreme circumstances or the contract/agreement is broken by the other party, in which case she will make it her goal to ensure that they exit with much less than they entered with.

Personality : November is, in general, sarcastic, cold, serious, and dry. She does not make jokes, nor does she laugh at other’s attempts to do so. She does not enjoy the stating of the obvious and scoffs at other’s faulty attempts at figuring things out. She is not, however, against making alliances if it would be beneficial to success, and will do her best to ensure both safety to herself and the other (although her dislike for the other’s incompetence, no matter how slight, will be visible in her expression if not made verbally available.) If the other is what she considers especially stupid or incompetent, she isn’t above leaving them high and dry. After the agreement is filled, unless she still sees you as beneficial to herself (either now or in the future), don’t except her to do you any more favors or actions at all unless circumstances change. She has a foul mouth, particularly under stress.

She grows excited at new discoveries in any field, but is passively curious. Passively in the sense that, unless something really has captured her attention or is relevant to the situation at hand, she won’t investigate further into the matter. If there are any mysterious sounds, for example, she is almost certain to simply make note of it and continue on her path than to go and investigate. The same goes for any flashing lights or creatures scurrying in the dark. If there is an unusual flower, she’ll pass it by. Unless it is immediately and obviously relevant to the situation, she won’t really care about it. She has a very focused mindset.

Weapons : November holds two specially crafted guns that fit neatly into her mouth, hidden. One she always carries in her side pouch, the other is usually in her mouth. She keeps various explosive powders and small hand bombs in her pouches as well, and can wear special ‘shoes’ tipped with sharp talons. In close situations, she isn’t afraid to go after the eyes or throat with her mouth-tentacles.

Basic Anatomy: Her limbs, like her species', are all compressible/collapsable and extendable, giving her a very versatile form. This improves her flying stamina by even more, but running can be a bit more of a task. She can fit into surprisingly small spaces because of it. Her two mouth tentacles fit neatly into her inner throat pouches, and she can even store small objects comfortably and unhinderlingly in her mouth. The muscles protect the cartilage and light-weight bone underneath. They can take a lot of stress, but any powerful, sharp, and sudden hits can snap them.

I'll add more and flesh it in later.
