CHARACTER SURVEY WHAT

Feb 17, 2011 00:50

Your name is FEFERI PEIXES.



On the subject of courtesy, you have also set up this journal post so we can get a better look at you. Quite considerate.

Royalty sure is civilized!

You are a SEA DWELLER. You have the most noble blood possible, the only of your kind known to possess it, and the only to share it with GL'BGOLYB, a deep sea monster also known as THE RIFT'S CARBUNCLE, EMISSARY TO THE HORRORTERRORS, or in more hushed tones, SPEAKER OF THE VAST GLUB.

This makes you the HEIR APPARENT for Alternian rulership, which ordinarily would place you in considerable jeopardy. HER IMPERIOUS CONDESCENSION would steer the flagship from the fleet and make an attempt on your life herself, if not for the protection of your monstrous lusus.

And if not forewarned of your race's extinction by the whispers of that lusus, you would have BIG PLANS FOR THE THRONE. All the plans. All of them.

You would redefine what it means to be CULLED in troll society. Under your rule it would mean caring for the unfit and infirm rather than exterminating them, and you have put this idea into practice by CULLING THE FAUNA OF THE DEEP. You tend to wild and beautiful AQUATIC HOOFBEASTS, grooming and feeding them daily. You capture and cage CUTTLEFISH by the thousands for their own good, and also because they are funny and colorful and you love them. They often swim through the bars of their cages, but that is fine. You run your whole palace as a sort of WILDLIFE ADOPTION FACILITY, even if the wildlife's need for care is dubious at best, and the practice really just amounts to an elaborate ROLE PLAYING SCENARIO. It's still fun though.

You would also look forward to using your reign to UNITE THE TWO RACES. You were told you would do this one day by your lusus, even if it does contradict her message of extinction. Oh well, you suppose NOT ALL PROPHECIES CAN COME TRUE.

Your trolltag is cuttlefishCuller and you )(ave a )(ard time not getting R-EALLY -EXCIT-ED ABOUT PRACTICALLY -EV-------ERYT)(ING!

Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is she heavyset, thin, short, rangy?

Due to how the trolls are presented in-canon, they all appear to be of about the same height, though word of god says that all of the characters are all different heights. Expediency vs. illustration, I suppose. As for Feferi herself, she's average for her age, though a little on the petite side, and is extremely thin with a small build compared to her friends. She's nearly entirely flat-chested, though she has powerful legs from swimming and moving heavy cargo around under water.

2. How old is she?

Feferi is six Alternian solar sweeps old, or roughly 13 Earth years.

3. Describe her posture. Does she carry herself well or does she slouch?

Feferi carries herself with straight, confident posture, but she doesn't look stiff. It's very natural.

4. How is her health? Is she fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?

The Alternian Princess is in peak physical health, and probably for good reason, seeing as the majority of her planet could actually die if she ever failed to perform her physical duties. She can jump several miles into the air from the water and pull whales to feed her horrorterror mom several leagues below the sea. Feferi doesn't have any physical conditions, and seems to actually be in a much better state that even her troll friends, relatively speaking - she's the only troll that does not have bags from sleepless nights under her eyes.

5. How does she move? Is she clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?

Spending most of her time under water, Feferi is adept at moving in a graceful, aquatic manner. Think of a mermaid, but with legs. That said, she's far more awkward on land, having not had to actually walk all that much during her lifetime. She's never unsure while moving, however, and tends to move in a bold, confident, fluid fashion. It's fluid, but her movements might not make much sense to someone who have spent their lives with land legs.

6. How attractive is this character physically? How does she perceive herself in the mirror?

Feferi is very pretty by troll standards, but doesn't think of herself that way. Not that she thinks she's ugly! She just doesn't pay much attention to it. Her beauty is very much natural and relaxed rather than something she works at. Her goofy looking goggles obstruct a lot of her face, and she's perfectly fine with this! She likes her goggles.

7. Describe her complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?

Gray.

Okay, okay. While officially, all trolls have the same neutral-gray skin tone, Feferi's tyrian purple blood would probably slightly color her skin, becoming more saturated where her skin is thin, like on her gills. Also, while not canon, I like to entertain headcanon that aquatic trolls have fishscale backs, often colored with their blood shade.

8. Describe her hair: color, texture, style.

Like all trolls, Feferi has black hair. Unlike all other trolls, however, she wears it very long, and it extends out in thick curls. Her hair is very large, and very dense.

9. What color are her eyes?

Again, like all trolls, Feferi's eyes are black, with an orange sclera.

10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?

This time, like all SEA trolls, Feferi has a set of fins/gills coming off the side of her face/neck. Her horns mimic the top half of the Pisces sign, as well.

11. What are her chief tension centers?

Feferi swims, and she swims a lot. Long-distance swimming. Heavy and exhausting. She needs to stretch properly, or else her legs, particularly her theighs, can knot up. Her stomach and arms hurt from carrying large cargo daily, as well. On something less related to Feferi's responsibilities, the bottoms of her feet are sensitive, as well as the space between her shoulders.

12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does she have six of the same suit?

Trolls think fashion is stupid, and Feferi, in turn, apparently thinks this is also stupid! While she dons the traditional troll black shirt with her class symbol in her blood color, she also wears a large volume of golden jewelry and pastel beaded necklaces, including a golden tiara. Her skirt is very bright and cheerful compared to what a lot of trolls like to wear, and she tends to prefer pastel colors in general.

13. Do her clothes fit well? Does she seem comfortable in them?

Trolls have multiple versions of the same outfit that they wear forever and ever. All of Feferi's clothing has been worn-in and she's at ease in what she wears.

14. Does she dress the same on the job as she does in her free time? If not, what are the differences?

Feferi doesn't have a FLARP outfit or anything like that, but she does have a cowboy hat that she likes to wear when playing around in much less extreme varieties of roleplay. That's really the only deviation from her usual garb.

15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?

The fish princess is a glubbing alien hippie, and probably goes commando, because it's comfortable and she doesn't have any shame or hang-ups about her body. She's careful to keep her dress down, however. She's not that kind of girl okay.
