Nasia Abroma  Basic Information Name: Nasia Abroma Birth & Age: 53th of Summer, 493AV, 19 years of age Height: 5feet 9inches Weight: 106lbs Hair Color: Black Eye Color: Deep Amethyst (sometimes appear black) Character Concept Nasia is meant to be that happy go lucky character that never lets anything get to her. Despite that, Nasia has a past like everyone else. She knows seriousness and is always ready to fight back but always as a very last resort. Her extreme happiness is almost like a defense mechanism. 'The world is what you make of it.' If you always view it as something happy, aren't you always in a happy world with no sorrow, greed, or hurt? Physical Description Nasia has the awkwardly long limbs of most Symenestra that contribute to her willowy frame. Her face is not as thin as some of her kind, but she doesn't exactly have a baby face either. She tends to wear dark yet richly jaded tones, reminiscent of her time in the caverns and the Symenestra's time in the jungle. She usually appears deep in thought until conversed with. On those occasions, she wears a bright playful (almost goofy) smile. She is often seen with a bulky case, obviously shaped for the instrument inside. The case is too large to be that of a violin and slightly smaller than that of a small guitar. Personality Behind The Face Nasia is generally quiet and easily blends into the background. Usually, she's not the first one to speak unless she finds herself in an awkward situation in which she then she tries, though rather stiffly, to alleviate the tension through conversation. On first meeting, she's strictly polite, easily spewing the etiquette ingrained in her not by force, but voluntarily. She might, however, try to crack a joke if you're a pretty tame person. She becomes more bold as she warms up to a person, filling in the role of that one ridiculously goofy friend who isn't that brilliant. Despite that guise, Nasia is actually very intelligent, though she doesn't often verbalize such examples of intelligence. Behind The Plant Nasia carries the family name Abroma. The plant's flower is often called Devil's Cotton because of the skin irritation received from physical contact with the small hairs found on the plant. The plant, however, has beneificial healing properties. Similar to the plant, Nasia's family tends to be reserved in a way that seems polite, but detached. They are actually quite kind, but sometimes come off as snobbish due to their initial icy appearance. Behind the Name Abroma from the Greek 'a' (without) and 'broma' (food). The Abroma web is one that follows the contemporary serving of the god Viratas (that of blood, heiritage, and connection). They are vicious carnivores when it comes to food, feedings often being bloodbaths. When feeding from animals, they bring an animal in, slowly getting the trust of the animal and gaining a connection to it. The connection is then offered to Viratas in a bloodbath feeding. Since this is often a hard and time consuming task, several animals are taken in at once and looked after by several members of the web. In between these violent feedings, the Abroma web strictly consists of peaceful vegetarians. The Abroma web, however, are not adverse to the feeding upon other races. They find that connections are established faster and view these connections as more valuable, seeing as other races are able to acknowledge and give themselves into these connections. They especially encourage the younger ones to feast on other races at least once, often seeing it as training for the harvest. It is obvious to someone who knew the individuals of the family to see that when they are 'hunting' they seem to take on a whole new personality. The sweet and shy Nasia brings out a confidently sultry walk (that she wouldn't admit to anyone just how long she practiced that in the mirror) and a twinkling smile as playfully suggestive banter comes quick as she takes on a different kind of boldness. Her skills in auristics might just help a little in her easy way of guiding a conversation as she uses the familiar phrases pulled from the little catalouge in her head. She doesn't practice any suggestive acts regularly, so she sometimes encounters problems when she meets a particularly witty person who out smarts her 'witty phrases' fail safe. She doesn't encounter this often though, because brawn over brains is all she needs to fufil her needs. Though Nasia takes part in this tradition, it's simply tradition to her; a fun game. She doesn't really worship Viratas as strongly as other Symenestra, seeing him as more of a secondary god. She worships Rhaus (god of bards, music, and storytelling) first and foremost. History Nasia lived a simple life surrounded by music. As the other bittas were taking interest in weaving and silks, Nasia took an interest in the lilting tones of her mother as she sang along with the piano or the pitches her mother would be able to differenciate while she taught violin lessons to the wealthier webs' children. If there was an instrument, Nasia's mother managed to be able to play it. Nasia, however, took an interest to an instrument that seemed to recieve less love than its other stringed brothers and sisters. She found a passion in playing the viola. When Nasia's mother learned of Nasia's interest, she schooled her tougher than her best students. She gave Nasia many tests and only her best was satisfactory and rarly was praise recieved from her mother. Others would praise Nasia for her lovely playing, but the untrained ears could not pick up the faulty pitches and stumbling of pace like her mother. This rigorious schooling made Nasia a rather easy child, her greatest fear being disappointment from her mother, and her greatest hope being mastering the viola. After that, she hoped to write songs that would last much longer than she, and techniques greater than the famous musicians out there. She even hoped to make the neglected instrument more popular amoung the masses. As great as her dreams were, she never thought of leaving the caverns of Kalinor until the djed storm of 512AV. She heard of the great damage recieved in many places and, outside the caverns, the environment was devasting. Nasia knew then that time wasn't something that was relative, but instead, was literal. It wouldn't take a storm like the one of 512AV to end her, and then what would be left? A strange and dusty instrument? A forgotten dream? Another statistic? Nasia had never been so sure of something since she had taken an interest in her oddball instrument. She didn't know where she was going, but the crowded city of Syliras seemed the best place to start. She wanted all to hear her song. She would be able to manage that, right? If you really have lived in a cave all your life, how would you survive with nothing but a wooden instrument, and a pure and hopeful dream? Though this is a large part of her rather boring past, there was also a time when she was faced with a large and life changing decision. The decision to end the life of her sister. It is because of these series of events that Nasia abandoned her complete devotion to Viratas, thinking much less of the god that once guided her life as it does her family. (These events are played through a series of flashbacks.) Possessions Housing Now wouldn't there be a commotion if Nasia's string of partners suddenly started disappearing? It's a dangerous sport but slightly addicting. She's even taken extra precautions to cover her tracks. Nasia never takes up permanent residence, prefering to live with just:
Personal She also keeps these with her in her travels. She even has a backpack (containing some personal stuff mind you) that she always wears. It's surprising the situations you can get out of with just:
Family Heirloom And of course, Nasia always carries her: Viola Given to her by her mother as a parting gift. It has always been the one she had used, but it was really her mother's until she officially gave it to Nasia as a good luck present. Knowledges Through her years, Nasia's picked up on a few things.
