(note: to any and all who remember my old Galadra Mif'Saryos from waaay back in the day of the Interactive World on allRPG, you may notice some discrepancies with Gala's background and history. First and foremost that it's not the same. This is due to the fact that I haven't been here in 2+ years since my OWN days as a moderator, and while I am sure that you won't hold it against me (as the only person who might remember would be Colin or Max Dirks, at least in the way of character approval), I just don't remember Gala's history, and I am sure that it was dry, vapid, and boring. So. In conclusion, new history, and new everything, minus personality (with a little bit more grown-upness to it, as we've both grown up) and looks. :P Enjoy. ^___^)
Name: Galadra Mif'Saryos
Age: 24
Race: elven
Hair Color: sapphire
Eye Color: emerald
Height: six feet, zero inches
Weight: 142 lbs
Appearance: Tall, thin, and lanky, one would catch glimpse of her mid-back length blue hair that just seems to glow in the sunlight. Her distinctively elven ears are pierced on the bottom of the lobes, as well as one stud on the top of her left ear, though those aren't noticed as much because she keeps them hidden under her hair. (She was once made fun of because her ears have a funnier shape to them than all the rest of the elves, and is a little self-conscious of them.) Her pale skin certainly would be noticeable, and it's dull softness only serves to emphasize the brilliance of her hair, and her eyes. Like her hair, her eyes also seem to glow when the sunlight touches them. They are not a light, surface-deep green, but rather a striking, engaging green that has a tendency to draw stares. Her thin lips are known to curve into a smile on almost every occasion (nervous smile, you know), and her pale cheeks will turn a bit rosy if you're a good enough flirt. It is also unimportant to notice that her nose is considered rather small. Her shoulders are somewhere between rounded and square, though they are always drawn up in self-confidence (though not arrogance). Her chest is not the most developed, though like every other female, she wishes hers were different, in this case... bigger. But that is neither here nor there. Her stomach is very well developed as far as muscles go, however due to a small layer of fat, you can't actually see the six-pack unless you ask to feel it. Trust us, it's there. :D Her knees are a little knocky, and her feet a little too big, but all in all, her legs are rather good for walking, standing, running, jumping, and, of course, miniskirts. Her hands tend to express a lot of emotion, as they are small, thin, and elegant (as is the rest of her, minus her funny-looking ears and big feet), and she tends to keep her nails at a longer length, though always clean. note: her hair and eyes seem to radiate/glow in the moonlight almost as strongly as they do in the sunlight.
History: Galadra Mif'Saryos was born in a small elven village of no consequence. The people there just referred to their village as "Our Village" or "The Village." It would seem a bit ordinary to the outside viewer, however, luckily for you, you are no outside viewer. The elves of this village actually live in a small settlement comprised of the last of the Tor'Ara Elves, also known as "The Ones Who Shine In Moonlight And Have Small Noses." The noses part is important, because back in the days when elves were the only sentient life on the planet, those with smaller noses held higher class and rank, because they were able to gather more tch'tch'ale, which were small berries that grew on small, hard to find bushes in large, smelly swamps. The smaller noses meant they had a lower sensitivity to the smell, and just looked better by popular opinion all around. However, that iscompletely forgotten to the elves of today, as they just regard small noses as plainly beautiful, not necessarily a survival necessity. Regardless, Gala is a direct, pure-blood (but certainly not in-bred) descendant of these powerful Tor'Ara elves, though she doesn't know it. The Tor'Ara elves were thrown into exile ages and ages and ages ago, so long ago that they've been forgotten ages and ages and ages ago. Now why were they cast into exile? Because they dabbled in magic, and with their magical powers, they tried to take over the world and bring chaos to the world, etc etc. Same power-hungry story as all the rest of them.
So. Gala was raised in a small village where she was rather doted upon by the village elders as being the smartest, but hounded by all her peers to be rather ugly. Despite all this, she was rather well-liked (as was most everyone else in the village), and wasn't forced to leave until one day when Gala was jumping around in the trees with some friends just having fun, she fell. The important part here is not that she fell, as you neglect to notice that I never said that she fell and hit the ground. She fell alright, but the magical strain was stronger in her, and she used it to slow her descent in an act of self-preservation by shooting a high-power energy beam down at the ground. However, she failed to realize that directly underneath her was the village elder's eldest daughter (who was something of a bi*ch) and killed her. Whoops. Luckily for her, they decided only to exile her from the village of exiles, and so she made her way upon the world, rather humoured with herself.
She has already been in a few large cities around the world, and somehow managed to not get mugged in all her naivety. Nothing of any consequence of importance happened during these excursions, except that she is no longer new to cities and large crowds, and haswizened up to the people (most noticeably the non-elves) of the world.
Skills:
*energy beam: Most noticeably would be the energy beam, which is rather physically exhausting for her at her low level of experience. She cannot cast it at will yet, and so far has only acted in her life as a "last chance" mechanism than a "hey look a shiny beam and I'm hitting you wiiiiith it!!!" thing. Right now at level 0, you can pretty much just conclude that she cannot use it. It would be easier to assume that she doesn't even have this skill/ability yet, so if it suits you, you may assume this. (Though at around level 2/3 she's prolly going to quest for knowledge to use it.)
*night vision: She can see perfectly at night, and it can be speculated that her eyes know how to use this energy beam thing better than the rest of her, as they employ the smallest tinge of energy from the source of this beam to detect the color and presence of objects. This is not to say that her eyes are like head-lights at night, because they aren't.
*more descriptive on both the beam and the eyesight: The energy doesn't glow or radiate light. You really can't tell it's there in small presences, however in large beam-like quantities, it becomes a darker color, much like how the heat over a piece of metal ((ie: car)) will emit those wavy heat things that make shadows. Definitely emits heat, and could potentially be used to start fires.
Equipment: One (1) two-handed staff, made of nice hard oak wood with swirls carved all over in it. At the top is a large round moonstone that shimmers in the moonlight. The village elder of her village gave it to her and said "the world is big, and you will meet many people. do not forget where you come from, even though we do not want you back here. Always learn patience, humility, and respect, and never forget your small nose. Oh, and there are other sentient races other than elves out there." hmm... maybe this village elder knows something more than she does?
*Familiars: She wishes earnestly for a kitty to call her own, however that has not happened as of yet.
