Zelenia

[Zelenia]

Zelenia “Non est ad astra mollis e terris via" - "There is no easy way from the earth to the stars” -Lucius Annaeus Seneca Appearance Race: Ethaefal Gender: Female Age: 21 Birthday: 55th day of Winter, 492. Birthplace: Alvadas Alignment: Neutral Good Appearance: During the Rule of Leth ~In the Night, Our True Beauty is Revealed in the Most Glorious Way.~ During the rule of Leth, Zelenia stands at a height of 6’4” with a weight of 144 pounds. Her body is very muscular with long, elegant limbs and delicate, elongated fingers. Her shoulders are modestly built and slightly widened, giving off an air of dignified strength and importance. Her physique, as well as her marble-like, opalescent skin, makes her appear as if she is a walking statue of the night, sent by the heavens itself to grace human sight as a favor from the gods. During the summer season her hair reaches the edge of her shoulder-blades and is a dark, solid black that seems to represent the clean, summer midnight. Radiating with a light to match the stars themselves are two, ram-like horns that protrude from her temples, breaking out through the dark, black hair. The horns curl down from her temples in a simple elegance, framing her face and adding to the overwhelming mystery that surrounds the beautiful Ethaefal. Despite her overwhelming appearance, what really show her true heavenly origin are her bright, almond shaped, celestial eyes. Lined in a silver shimmering, her deep gray eyes combine Leth’s colors of various violet, gold, and indigo tones. These colors make it seem as if behind this sad, lost Ethaefal’s eyes, there are entire galaxies growing and changing, never ceasing new creation or destruction. This astrological likeness is both a comfort and a nuisance for the fallen Ethaefal. At times, it lets her feel as if her true home is not as far away as it seems. At others, it reminds her of the peace, the beauty, and the perfection that was taken from her when she was thrust out of heaven because of the fissure caused by the great Valterrian. During the Rule of Syna ~This...Is This the Life I Have Lived, or The Life I Should be Living?~ During the day, Zelenia's form differs greatly. Her height shrinks from a majestic 6'4" to an average 5'9" with her weight going from 144 to 135. Her muscle mass increases and her shoulders broaden ever so slightly. In her daily form her skin darkens to a slight tan and her hair grows so that it now reaches the small of her back. It goes from being straight to having curls and it lightens from an intense black to a soft brown color. Her beautiful ram-like horns are also now gone like the stars that come and go with the switch in rule between Leth and Syna. Like in her Ethaefal form, her lips are a pink-red color, soft and beautiful in any environment. Her eyes change from the heavenly, celestial appearance into a strong, deep blue that resembles the ocean in its color tones as well as in the specks of black and gold that give the illusion of ocean tides. In this form Zelenia still has an elegant beauty, but the part of her that would take away a stranger's breath is now slightly lacking. Although she is now not as beautiful, Zelenia enjoys this form and does not mind living through her past lives eyes for a second time. Character Concept Zelenia tries to be a calm, reflective being who thinks instead of reacting, but this is not always the way it goes. Even though she tries to maintain a peaceful personality, she usually fails and is quick to anger with tendencies of being even quicker to annoy. Being an Ethaefal, she always has some form of sadness in her heart. Whether it is sadness for the previous life lost, sadness over her unfair return to the chaotic regions of the physical world, or sadness for the serenity and Utopia ripped from her grasp when she was thrust through the fissure, the sadness is always there. This sadness does not always show though! Her personality is almost feline with a careful, untrusting initial view followed by a trust and love that could last over a...well...a great big fissure in the sky and a change between the world being of pure spirit to one consisting mostly of physical matter. Even though she has these strange quirks, she loves people and is eager to meet more of them which is strange, considering her initial concerns and Personality. One word of warning though, she has been known to act almost bipolar at times. Some times she will be a calm, cool, kind individual and at others she will be rash, eager to fight, and quite hot headed. There will even be the occasional hyper, loving state! Please, be patient with her unique personality. Zelenia's ethics are ones of justice and love. Being trained to fight as a child gave her the principles of valuing life, fairness, and of knowing boundaries (although she enjoys pushing the boundaries to a bursting point). She enjoys helping people, sometimes even to the extend of getting herself hurt, and believes that nothing is more sacred than than protecting others. This belief was only reinforced when she came across her god, Leth, who whole-heartedly defended his love at the cost of his own well-being. That moment of discovery is what drove her to live out that belief to the fullest and use her life to protect others, especially the ones she loves. Character History What is remembered of her former life: Zelenia grew up in a fairly normal, small house. It was found in a grove of trees outside of the city, Alvadas. It seemed to be her own little paradise. She lived with her Mother and Father as well as 10 other relatives that would come and go, traveling the dangerous routes between the cities in the region of Kalea to trade goods and whatever else they might have had to offer. She was never sure why her parents decided to live in the grove, but she didn't mind, so she never bothered to ask. Her mother, when she was young, would sing songs of lore and would teach her the techniques of beautiful singing. She loved her mother dearly, but when she was young (neither the day nor age is remembered) her mother died of a terrible infection. The infection occurred after she was attacked by a stray Yukman who tried eating her alive while she was foraging for plants outside of the grove. Monsters were always giving them trouble, but yet they still lived there, making use of the nature and learning it's secrets. After her mother's death, her father went into a very dark depression, only pausing to teach Zelenia the arts of fighting and swordplay in order to give her some sort of protection. He also taught her the importance of every life and of treating all opponents as equal, no matter the race or level of intelligence. On her 16th birthday, almost as a parting gift seeing as how after this he hardly talked, he gave her the family heirloom, a Talon Sword. Soon Zelenia turned 21 and on the day of her birth, her fathers depression seemed to lift. He came to her with open arms which hadn't happened in over three years. When they finally embraced, she heard a laugh, an inhuman laugh seeming to come from a place of hunger-driven madness. The last thing she remembered was a high, ear shattering scream followed by having a hand plunge through her throat. For a followed explanation, a Wailer searching the forests for a mate had crawled into the camp. After a few seasons of searching, it decided that it was time for a meal. she was the one with the voice, the one who would be missed least of all by her traveling family and depressed, elderly father. I was the perfect target. Rebirth as Ethaefal: She fell, crashing into the cool waters of Storm Bay. The water enveloped around her, bubbles covering her body. She remembers a darkness, followed by the water around her glowing with a soft white and a small pain throbbing in her head. She felt up and felt horns, physical horns, almost like a ram's. They spiraled down from just above her temple and she was very confused. Looking up into the beautiful night sky she muttered a word to her god Leth, who she loved and honored. Soon she felt her consciousness slip and was just floating in the soft, chilled water. Zelenia awoke in the morning to a scraping noise, accompanied by a gentle, beautiful humming. She felt that she was now clothed in what felt like a cloak. When she was finally able to open her eyes the sun was bright and she could feel that the horns from the previous night were gone. She looked down to see a blue cloak covering her body. She then looked up and saw a Dark haired woman with her eyes closed. She was whittling on a piece of ice that seemed to not thaw. "Hello?" Zelenia asked as she gathered the strength to sit. The woman opened her eyes and Zelenia was amazed. The woman's eyes were a beautiful combination of various purples with flicks of gold around the edges. A Vantha woman, she thought. The woman introduced herself as Kavi, a 26 year old Vantha woman who had just gone to Alvadas to visit a friend. She explaned that on her way to Avanthal she had seen a flash of light and decided to look into it. She saw Zelenia in the water and helped her onto the beach sand as well as covering her in a spare cloak she had packed for her journey. Zelenia explained the vision of the grove and Kavi told her that on her journey she saw a grove like that but was unsure about any housing in the area. Kavi offered to guide Zelenia to the grove in exchange for getting her cloak back. Zelenia laughed at her request and they started off for the Alvadas grove. On the first night of the trip Kavi and Zelenia decided to rest in a small clearing. As the sun just started to decend, they were pitching the tent when, out of Zelenia's temples the horns began to grow. Her height increased and her hair shortened. Her eyes changed and she was now in her Ethaefal form, a surreal beauty that was breathtaking to see. Kavi was amazed and explained that she had heard of creatures called Ethaefal taking this kind of form during the rule of their Deity. A part of the puzzle was solved for Zelenia and she was now able to explain more of what happened to Kavi, no longer afraid that she was strange to have this happen to her(not that it was normal by any means). When they reached the grove everything was overrun with plant life and Zelenia felt an overwhelming sadness at the sight. An intense headache set in and she fell to the ground, flashes of sound going through her head. A woman singing, swords clashing, screaming, and a suppressed wailing that had the tone of extreme sadness. Kavi helped her up and she explained what she heard. Soon Zelenia spotted what looked like a shack in the distance and more visions came. Some relating to her death and some to times of her childhood. Upon entrance of her house she saw the Talon Sword, wrapped in a silk clothe. She had a feeling that she knew the blade so she took it, wearing it apon her back after changing into simple clothing as well as a new black cloak found within the house. She took tenting supplies as well as anything else she found necessary, which included 300 gold Mizas found in a chest in the corner of the old building. Kavi and Zelenia split courses in the middle of Kadea. Kavi heading North while Zelenia headed West to the city of Lhavit. Soon the immense amount of supplies on Zelenia's back became too strenuous. On the road to Lhavit she passed a horse trader. She gladly paid 200 for a Gilding horse. After loading the horse up she continued the ride to Lhavit and, finally arriving, had no idea what to do with herself.

Hi Zelenia!

I’m Jupiter, one of the Character Sheet Liaisons here in Mizahar. I’ve taken a look at your character sheet, and I’ve found some issues with it that need to be resolved.

• Your character’s year of birth should be 491.
• There’s a problem with your concept; people don’t live outside of cities, they live within them. You should change your house to being located within Alvadas.
• Your lores are too broad. An easy way to fix this would be to choose a more specific aspect of each of the lores to focus on.
• In your possessions, you need to choose between a cloak or a coat.
• Your housing needs to include what city your character lives in or are living closest to in the wild.

Once you’ve made these changes, let me know through a PM. I’ll then remove this post and approve your character sheet. If you have any questions about any of the changes that need to be changed or anything else at all, feel free to contact me!
