[PC Plotnotes] Eleret - Konti Gift

Postby Eleret on October 31st, 2012, 10:40 am

Konti Gift

Eleret's Konti gift is sensing the moods of other people or groups through the medium of scent. This post maps the different mood categories and scent associations I will use. In terms of individual scents and emotions, it is not comprehensive; in mood groupings, it is.

Mood groupings adopted from the emotion annotation and representation language (EARL) proposed by the Human-Machine Interaction Network on Emotion (HUMAINE) via Wikipedia.

mood category mood examples scent category scent examples
positive, lively amusement, delight, excitement, joy floral jasmine, lavender, lilac, rose
positive, quiet contentment, relaxation, relief fruit, sweet apple, cherry, peach
positive thoughts hope, pride, satisfaction, trust earthy/wood cut grass, loam, moss, sandalwood
caring affection, friendliness, love sweet, mellow baking bread, honey, vanilla
reactive curiosity, interest, surprise sweet, sharp cinnamon, ginger, licorice, mint
agitation shock, stress, tension sharp/'tang' ammonia, camphor, metal
negative passive boredom, despair, disappointment, hurt, sadness fruit, tart blackberry, lemon, orange, pineapple
negative, not in control anxiety, embarrassment, helplessness, fear spice, sharp garlic, onion, pepper (black/white), turmeric
negative thoughts doubt, envy, guilt, shame astringent juniper, pine, sourdough, vinegar
negative, forceful anger, contempt, irritation generally repellant formic acid, mold, sour milk, sulfur

[PC Plotnotes] Eleret - Religion

Postby Eleret on October 31st, 2012, 11:36 pm

Religion

Briefly, these are the gods I see Eleret worshiping, and methods by which she might pay homage to each. Generally, Eleret's worship is private and personal; she doesn't conceal it, but her prayers are at least as likely to be thought in the silence of her mind as to be said aloud, and she makes no grandiose or flamboyant observances. It's just part of who she is and her regular conduct.

This is very much a work in progress. I expect to add more details as Eleret develops.

Avalis
prayer thread

As the mother of the Konti race and the grantor of Eleret's racial gnosis mark, it's basically a given that Avalis is very important to her. Though she doesn't think of her devotion as worship -- Eleret's sentiment towards Avalis is that of a child for a revered elder, familial and familiar in nature. Her worship of Avalis is thus characterized by courtesy and affection, the proper respect towards one senior.

Observances include:
  • a greeting prayer each morning
  • a farewell prayer each evening
  • a meditative / preparatory benediction before any exercise of fortune-telling or Divination
On-camera reverences:

Laviku
prayer thread

Eleret honors Laviku in his role as the father of the Konti race; his guardianship of the sea is also important to her, but a distant and impersonal second. As with Avalis, her devotion towards Laviku is generally familial in nature, affectionate as well as respectful.

Observances include:
  • a greeting prayer each morning
  • a farewell prayer each evening
  • a greeting whenever coming to the sea / swimming in it
  • a benediction upon the outset of any ship-based voyage, usually accompanied by the sacrifice of a personal token
On-camera reverences:

Eyris
prayer thread

Eleret is scholarly by inclination; she has developed a love of learning, knowledge, and books, first from her mother's example, and then through her own development. Her worship of Eyris essentially began with her first foray into coursework at the University at Zeltiva, when she truly began to appreciate how much there was to know beyond the interests traditionally characteristic of Konti and Mura.

Observances include:
  • a simple benediction in the "may I learn well" vein when beginning any session of study
On-camera reverences:

Priskil
prayer thread

Eleret added Priskil to her personal pantheon after the Djed Storm of Spring 512, for reasons both personal and general. In general, she prays to Priskil on behalf of the world at large -- the sentiment of 'may we never lose hope and will to come through these hardships'. Her more personal prayers reflect Eleret's hope that her sister Tanell, whom she hasn't had contact with since before the storm, is still alive and prospering somewhere on Mizahar.

Observances include:
  • a simple benediction at sunset / before sleep
On-camera reverences:

[PC Plotnotes] Eleret - Fortune Telling

Postby Eleret on October 31st, 2012, 11:37 pm

Fortune-Telling

The skill of reading past, present, and future through some manner of symbolism, whether it be tarot cards, tea leaves, the fall of tokens onto a marked cloth, or any other of various tools. Eleret considers her fortune-telling tools to be much like any other -- and as with any other tool, the greatest effect is realized if the user is intimately familiar with what they are using. It is also Eleret's belief that a fortune-teller's insights are improved if her tools are attuned to her. Long-term usage will suffice, but the best approach is to make one's own -- and so she did. Given here are Eleret's personal fortune-telling symbols, comprising a tileset she made herself (Fall 512) out of driftwood found on the White Island's shore. Each symbol is carved into both sides of a wooden disc with beveled rims, the obverse a black symbol on natural background, the reverse a pale symbol on black background.

The tileset's composition is not fixed, but may be subject to future additions and/or deletions.

[PC Plotnotes] Eleret - Relationships

Postby Eleret on July 15th, 2014, 8:38 pm

Relationships

Meline
NPC (stationary, approved)
Philosophy 25, Fortune-telling 15, Instrument: Lute 10; Divination 1

Eleret's mother is a scholarly individual who previously studied in Zeltiva, and still keeps up correspondence with some friends there. In the present, she is happily entrenched on Mura and enthralled by her first grandchild. Of all her children, Eleret is most like Meline in habits and interests.

Ne'len
NPC (stationary, approved)
Medicine 20, Gardening 15, Herbalism 15; Healing 1

Eleret's older sister Ne'len is a practical and sensible soul, one who has never felt a need to go anywhere beyond the White Isle. She is the only person in the family marked by Rak'keli, and maintains an ever-changing garden as a hobby. Ne'len is the mother of Na'tera.

Tanell
ImageEleret's younger sister Tanell is the one of them who has always asked "why?" -- albeit usually in polite fashion. Generally coming across as 'easy to like', she is a vivacious person whose positive outlook often seems to be contagious. Aside from ferreting out reasons for things, Tanell's other hobby is making jewelry. She was Called away from Mura in 509 AV.

Na'tera
NPC (stationary, approved)
Swimming 15, Gardening 10, Rhetoric 5; Divination 1

Na'tera is Eleret's niece, the daughter of Ne'len. Though halfway to her majority, she is in no hurry to leave childhood behind. She enjoys 'playing in the dirt' (i.e. gardening) with her mother, but what she's really fond of is the ocean and the life within it.

L'nai
NPC (stationary, approved)
Acrobatics 10, Climbing 5, Dance 15, Fortune Telling 5, Weapon: Suvai 15; Divination 1

L'nai grew up beside Eleret and was a staunch friend throughout her childhood, the four-year difference in their ages being entirely immaterial. An active soul and not scholarly inclined in the least, L'nai has always made for a study in contrasts against Eleret. With such disparate inclinations, their fates have diverged over time, but they remain good friends all the same.

Adilon
NPC (stationary, approved)
Carving 10, Cartography 5, Cooking 5, Gambling 5, Sailing 15, Swimming 10

Adilon was a Syliran sailor on the expedition which "discovered" Mura in 497 AV. He was sufficiently entranced with the city, and with one young Konti in particular, to linger there for a while. Ultimately, Adilon and Eleret parted amicably; he returned to Syliras and a life path among other Humans, but continued to exchange letters with her for a number of years.
