I'd really appreciate if I could join in; I promise I won't be a troublemaker nor a conflicting element. And, in order to demonstrate my good faith, I won't play a Magitek character in order to facilitate your job, as I understand it would be rather difficult (or at least really confusing) otherwise.
Also, if I could make a suggestion, integrating my character into one of the current “scenes” might be more advantageous, as you could write for two player characters in a single segment. Hmmmm... Maybe she's person that Raphael (Legendium's character) suspects might be in danger. (quite plausible if she ran out of “mana” while doing an errand in the forest) Of course, that's just a suggestion, and I'll leave to your good judgment to choose what to do.
Name: Abigail Mathews
Appearance: She's of below average height, and delicate complexion. She has medium length, slightly messy, brown hair and brown eyes, which are usually framed by a pair of glasses. There's a certain cuteness to her, but she doesn't seems to emphasize it too much. Because of the cold weather, she's usually seem wearing winter appropriate clothing, like sweaters, long pants, boots, mittens and hats. Besides, she never leaves the house without a white scarf her mom left her before parting ways.
Inside of the dream world, she wears a set of modest looking robes, and a green cape with a hood. Shining for its absence it's her lack of footwear, something she can't indulge into in the real world, both due to the cold, and because her grandma doesn't allow her to walk around barefooted at home.
Personality: Extremely shy and nervous, even by introverts' standards; it takes a lot of time and effort for her “connect” with people because of it. Nonetheless, she's a genuinely nice and sweet person, who also has a vivid imagination and a fair share of creativity. She's also quite sensitive, which means she can be emotionally hurt more easily than the average of people, but on the flip-side, that also means she has a highly developed sense of empathy.
Hobbies: She likes to write stories, though she rarely shares them with anyone out of fear she'll be mocked due to them not being really good. She also spends quite a bit of time watching anime and playing videogames; she's not overtly picky when it comes to them, but she prefers to avoid anything that she'd consider too gory or grotesque.
Family, Friends, Pets:
-Rebecca Mathews (Mother): She's a strong and intelligent woman with a solid moral compass, and a remarkable work ethic, characteristics she has tried to cultivate on her own daughter. However, the rigors of her job also make it quite difficult for her to spend more time with her. Still, she tries to make the most out of the limited time they have to be together.
-Ulysses Mathews (Grandpa): A kind and erudite man, Ulysses has always been a great father figure, and he's quite glad to be able to spend more time with his granddaughter, as he has a lot of stories and knowledge to share. Despite being retired, he still works repairing electronic equipment (specially sound equipment) because it helps him to keep his mind active, and his spirits high. He enjoys listening to classical music and watching movies. (specially European cinema)
-Gwendolyn Mathews (Grandma): A sweet and caring woman who, nonetheless, has a strong temper when it comes to family related matters. (with some control-freak tendencies) That said, she's glad to have her granddaughter around, and she feels proud of her not being “one of those decadent hormone addled teens”. She can be a little too overprotective at times, which stems from the fact she's quite nervous and apprehensive, something that makes Abigail wonder if she inherited that from her. She likes doing gardening to pass the time, and also watching soap-operas.
-Sir Roscoe J. Fluffington the 3rd, or Ross for short (Pet): A small, puffy looking stray dog which she found not too long after arriving to the town. Even though her grandma opposed at first, she managed to convince her to keep him. He's a rather affectionate dog, but also a bit too energetic and curious, which usually causes him, and those around him, some troubles.
House: A single story medium sized house with all the usually expected commodities, including a living room, a bathroom, kitchen, dining room, and two bedrooms. Besides that, it has a small green house for granny Mathews plants and flowers, a small workshop for grandpa Mathews, and library/study-room.
Room: It's quite tidy and organized, there's definitely a feminine vibe to it. Besides her bed there's a desk with a laptop on top of it, and a chair besides it. Her bookshelf, besides containing text-books and other useful reading materials, it's decorated with miscellaneous figurines. There's also an integrated wardrobe, where she keeps her clothes, and a few boxes with things she can't use right now, like some game-consoles. There are a few posters on her walls, mostly from anime series like Saint Seiya, Princess Tutu and Macross Frontier. She also has a sizable collection of plushies of all kinds, with the most notable being an old and weary looking dog, which she calls Freddy, that she's has had since she has memory.
Favorite Colors: Blue, especially the lighter shades of it.
Favorite Foods: She's a big fan of sweets; chocolates, cookies, and all kinds of candies aren't safe when she's around. But, if she had to choose just one treat, ice-cream would be her choice. Otherwise, she doesn't have any particular preference, but she prefers to avoid meat as much as possible.
Favorite Drinks: Lemonade. Lately, she has developed a certain taste for coffee, as his grandparents usually drink it at their home.
Favorite Songs: She doesn't seem to have a preference for a particular kind of music, and she's willing to give most things a shot, as long as it isn't too strident, (ie. Death Metal) or vulgar. (ie. Intercourse With You Songs) Though, her favorite song might be Pollyanna, from the Mother series.
Favorite Animals: She's a big fan of dogs, but she seems to like most animals, even those other people would consider abhorrent, like spiders or mice.
History: Growing up is never easy, but to Abigail, it has always seemed to be more difficult than for the average girl, not only because of her timid personality and the lack of a father figure on her life, but because she has always been on the move due to her mother's job requiring them to do so. Lately, this situation has caused her a lot of anxiety and stress, something that didn't pass unnoticed to her mom. So, in order to try to help her to recover her peace of mind, she decided her to send her to her grandparents home, at a tranquil mountain towns, with the hopes that peaceful and more stable environment might help her to control her current stress.
Even though she opposed at first, Abigail accepted the offer, because she knew her mom was trying to help her to feel better. So far, everything has been going relatively well for her, as she's glad to be able to spend time with her grandparents, and the more relaxed rhythm of the town has helped her to control her anxiety. However, she still hasn't managed to make a friend in school, and being away from her mom for so long is something she hasn't experienced on life before... So, all in all, her stay has been a mixed blessing so far.
That said, something peculiar has been going on as of lately... A series of strangely lucid recurring dreams, dreams of a fairy-tale-like land which seemed to have a strong continuity, as if they were chapters of an on-going story. Despite being highly unusual, Abigail has taken quite a fondness for them, as they make her feel quite comfortable, in an unique way she cannot accurately describe. Since these dreams have a sequence, she has decided to make the best out of them by helping the characters that roam them, like a good friendly neighbor would. Besides, she has been keeping a journal of the things she has seen so far, as they seem like they could make a good story at some point in the future...
Class: Druid, (Earth Element) specializing in support and restorative magic.
