Nereid (unowned) (open for training/rentals)
Posted: Mon Dec 21, 2015 4:21 am
❧ Nickname(s): Nereid, Sea-Witch.
❧ Name on Identification: "Lysianassa" (Λυσιάνασσα).[/size]
❧ Age: She appears to be twenty-seven. What her age actually is, is quite another matter. But she will occasionally allude to her lifespan being in the potential centuries, rather than decades, and has been able to recount events from before her presumed birth.
❧ Gender: ♀ Female.
❧ Species: Nereid; sea nymph (νεράϊδα).
❧ Sub Species/Breed: She has also been called a mermaid, merrow, sea-witch, ghoul and goodness knows what obscenities over the years of her existence. While Nereid is the sole correct one, she accepts the others merely out of laziness for repeatedly playing the part of teacher.
❧ Body Type:
Humanoid; her 'alternate' (natural) form is that of a mermaid - human torso mingling smoothly with that of a fish-serpentine lower half with fins.
❧ Physical Details: (Hair/Eyes/Skin/Etc)
-will be written up
❧ Physical Drawbacks:
She is not, and has never been, made for sheer brute strength.
❧ Current Infliction(s): -
❧ Physical Defenses:
Teeth; her bite is also toxic, acting as a swift paralytic that will gradually wear off within the hour. Rarely fatal, but exceptionally unpleasant. She is a powerful swimmer, and therefore has the light, taut muscletone of a dancer-athlete - likely able to throw more of a punch and kick than most might anticipate.
❧ Appealing Attributes:
Beautiful; aesthetically pleasant in both face and figure, her flesh marked with delightfully gilded-looking scales on her cheekbones, upper arms and thighs. She moves with the fluid grace of a dancer; supple and poised. Depending on the renter's taste, some might find her sassiness and wit to be more of an entertaining value than an annoying one.
❧ Clothing:
(ref) Brown simple cotton - a camisk that both flatters her figure, and covers the more private parts of her body.
❧ Other Items:
• Three handmade nets of varying sizes.
• 15 pearls of mixed size, color and therefore value.
❧ Feral or Cultured:
Feral as in, primal and instinctive, but aware of cultural intricacies.
❧ Phobias:
None observed.
❧ Disorders:
None observed.
❧ How do they present themselves:
On the surface, she may seem compliant enough, but she has a clever mind and a sharp tongue that only presents itself when she feels that she can get away with it, be it amongst less rigid patrons or fellow slaves. She is spirited, wild and not unlike the sea itself - calm and soothing one moment, and fierce, dangerous and ruthless the next.
❧ Feelings towards being owned / rented:
Disgusted. Nobody yet has managed to make the woman feel even remotely comfortable with the idea of being little more than property. She is likely to eventually comply, if only to keep her one goal of freedom soundly in mind.
❧ Overall Attitude:
-pending RP
❧ Quirks:
• She always has at least one shell on her somewhere.
• She braids/unbraids her hair when thinking.
• Her voice is hypnotic when she sings. (singing voice)
❧ Hobbies / Interests:
She enjoys being outdoors by the sea; beach-combing, net-making, map-charting and making jewellery from the shells, glass and smoothed wood are all hobbies that will occupy her time when permitted. She also enjoys designing and making clothing, often favouring materials like pearls, silk and fine cotton.
❧ High or Low Maintenance:
High - This may change to 'Medium', depending on the attitude of the Owner in question. She requires having access to salt water at least once a week to remain in peak health. This can be lowered to once a fortnight, but her healing rate will be slower, her scales lacklustre and so forth. The longer she is away from it, the unhealthier she will become - this is therefore not suggested as a punishment method. She is feisty, confident and headstrong; like a yearling champing at the bit, desiring to see how much headroom she can get, as well as testing an Owner's wits and patience to see if they can handle her. It is thought that she may pretend to be a free patron if left to roam without suitable signs of ownership (brand/collar etc). Otherwise, she can clean, cook and fend for herself.
❧ Diet / Allergies:
Vegetarian; she dislikes heavily spiced food, and can more than adequately forage for herself when the need is there. She will occasionally eat meat, but only if hard-pressed, and will refuse to eat fish unless her survival requires her to do so.
❧ Language(s) Spoken:
Mermish; she can also communicate with most aquatic animals both sentient and more feral-minded. She also speaks a dialect of Elvish, and Common. She knows a scattering of words and phrases from most coastal continents where the seas are warmer, but only greetings and the occasional insult.
❧ Can they Read / Write:
Yes; Common, but her handwriting is quite bad and she reads aloud slowly.
❧ Can she produce magic?
Yes, but it is presently bound.
❧ Talents / Skills:
Beach-Combing | Swimming | Diving | Cooking | Nautical Navigation | Cartography | Jewellery-Making | Singing
❧ Training:
She is an exceptionally new slave to the establishment, and thus has undergone no training.
❧ Current Owner: -
❧ Previous Owners: -
❧ Previous Usage(s): -
❧ Previous status:
Free - ensnared within a pirate's fishing lines while they sought to feed the crew. Safe to say, having a woman aboard was not something that the majority desired, but at least one saw her value.
❧ For Rent or to Own:
Ownership after three trial rentals; this is to ensure that the slave's skills are compatible with what the Owner requires, and to determine if they are suitable for the household. OOC - This is to determine if our playstyles and preferences appropriately align, and to ensure that our schedules meet up in accordance with our minimum preferred 'contact' time per week.
❧ Cost: Untrained/Unbroken Slave.
These slaves have zero to limited training. Newly captured slaves typically fall into this category. They may have been a slave that had fallen from grace or are incredibly disobedient.
