Columba {unowned}

Post by Jorn »

The papers were crisp and fresh, and smelt slightly of the sea and new ink.
Clearly hallmarks of a 'fresh' delivery to the establishment.

Figure is pear-shaped, with soft buttocks and thighs leading up to a thin waist, then a pleasingly handful bust - physically healthy.

Physical Markings: White smudge on the nape of her neck and partway around either side, with a smaller black one over the top of it -- natural.

Physical Drawbacks: Partially hollow-boned, therefore more prone to fractures and cracks if due care is not taken.

Current Inflictions: 100% -- mild disorientation in these new surroundings

Appealing Attributes and Attraction: Figure, species and intelligent nature. Seemingly innocent and sweet.

Aviophobia - fear of flying *
* Developed when under the care of her first owner.

Disorders: None known

How do they present themselves: Dignified, curious, whimsical - a near child-like thirst for knowledge tempered by an adult's awareness of the world and all of its vices.

Feelings towards being owned/rented: Indifferent. As much as she would prefer being freed again, she is well aware that her manumissio is now in the hands of whoever holds her cloak. Rest assured that should she get her hands on it however, getting her back would not be easy.

Overall Attitude: Intelligent if not somewhat instinct-centered, with an appreciation for variety. Seems to show a keen knowledge of cultures rooted in antiquity.
OOC: Underneath that facade, she's a manipulative, emotionally dependant vicious little bitch accustomed to being 'up there' in the heirarchy between slaves.

Quirks:
*Animal Ken: can communicate through 'feral' speech to avians. Seems to be able to gain their trust easily and has a certain measure of empathy regarding them.
*Can often be found toying with her hair, or any loose strands on her dress - occupying her hands is a neccesity otherwise she might very well unweave or destroy what items she can get in her grasp just to fidget with.
*Resorts to avian vocalisations (whistling, shrieking etc) when surprised or hurt.

Hobbies/Interests:
Weaving - calligraphy - secreterial work - singing - some dancing - playing the aulos - painting / herbal-based healing - falconry - the ludi - bloodsports

General Information
Character Description:
Eurasian Collared Dove. With the scent of narcissus in the air and those cocoa-brown eyes lowered, the seemingly human woman hailed from a culture rooted deep in antiquity. A stola of fine dyed cotton was clasped at her fair shoulders by a silver fibula, falling to the ground and around her bare feet in pleats, while a palla was often fidgeted with by those slender, scarred hands - the shawl was as much of a sign of a former well-founded status as it was a comfort blanket. Shoulder-length curls, tousled and wild, paired well with a heart-shaped face. Once a Centurion's prize of battle, her needed cloak of feathers held by those in charge. Whimsical shapeshifter bound to the ground, defiant yet to the untrained eye, quite sweetly submissive. Femme fatale under a naïveté surface, a charming yet psychologically manipulative and willing slave.

Contact Details: Columba in-game

Notes:
I. All attempts to accuratly portray an Ancient Roman woman have been undertaken. I do re-enacting of her period as a hobby. Constructive criticism is welcome but a head's up - I am thorough with my research.

II. Storyline ideas --
One - For someone to finally work out those little mind games she does with people. Whether it is because they are manipulative dicks themselves or simply see through them, doesn't matter. The games are a defence. I would like for someone to eventually draw her out of the cold little shell she has withdrawn into since her enslavement.
Two - Ancient Roman, Greek or Gaul characters for her to interact with.

III. Time period (for backstory scenes & characters)
64 BC - born
63 BC - Pompey captures Jerusalem
53 BC - Rome defeated at the Battle of Carrhae, vs the Parthians
49 BC - Caesar crossed the Rubicon
44 BC - Caesar murdered, and as her owner was loyal to him and killed in the aftermath/struggle, she was sold on to The Realmwalker and shipped to Guildereim.
