FIRST: Alternia or Beforus or some type of AU?
Alternia(kind of???? I made her for a fansession that has its own planet, demokratia http://aminoapps.com/p/apm4by )
This is a really neat premise! Iām always a fan of fantroll stories that take advantage of the fact that alternia can do spacetravel.Ā
Name (preferably include how you came up with it and why):melaki sentok. It doesnt really have much of a meaning, it just slowly came to be after a couple months
Youāve already got her on that Demokratia list page, so I donāt know if youāre looking for name replacements, but I think naming her Plumer IadgesĀ would be really funny. Itās a reference to both Plumeria the team skull character (since Plumeria is aĀ ābig sisterā type character and fills a similar role as your girl here) and Purl Ridges, a type of stitch used in knitting, which is one of your girlās hobbies!Ā
Age: around the alternian equivalent of 17 or 18
Thatās gonna put her at ~8 sweeps.
Strife Specibus: bayonetkind
Hmm. Bayonets are usually associated with soldiers. I think if you wanted to fit her theme as a criminal, youād use spraypaintkind, or maybe even Batkind. This works both for the criminal image And a pun on the fact that Plumeria likes to use Golbats/Crobats, lol.
Fetch Modus: quilt modus- the items are put together in a square formation, only ones on the outside can be uncaptchalogged. The more important the item is the deeper it is in the modus.
Thatās so CUTEā¦
Symbol and meaning: its her old symbol back when she was a indigoblood, with a purpleblood rendition
I might switch it up, but weāll see when we get to the design.
Pesterchum:InnovativeTrolling
I think innovativeTrollster would be pretty funny. Or experimentalTrollster!Ā
Quirk: puts parentheses around all her (Y)s, and uses stereotype gangster terms like āyoyoyoā or āits ya boyā or āyuh, check itā
Beee careful here,Ā because stuff likeĀ āitās ya boyā isnātĀ āgangster terms,ā itās just African American Vernacular English. AAVE already gets associated strongly with criminality and itās a bad & racist media stereotype. Hussie himself is very guilty of this brand of racism, and itās something we donāt wanna emulate! I think you can still use it, you just have to tread cautiously and make sure you understand the meanings and arenāt just using it as a Funny Prop, because itās a dialect of english, not just a bunch of nonsense to be thrown around for goofs.
Itās possible to haveĀ ātoughā andĀ ācriminalā character w/o relying on these stereotypes, too. You could just have her talk rough in general or use a lot of insults in a loving way (like australians love to do) instead. Or you could do something really stupid and fun like making her use archaic criminal slang.Ā
Special Abilities (if any):nah
All purples have chucklevoodoos! But you donāt gotta putt hem to use so they can be functionally nah anyways.
Guardian/pets?: Her lusus is essentially the dragon from The NeverEnding Story. I think its name was falkor?
I was confused at first, but yāknow what I think his loving and hopeful nature does vibe with Melakiās hope title later, so Iāll let it slide. Purples do have aquatic mammals for lusii, though, so you gotta make this like, a version of Falkor that can also dive underwater. Maybe with a fishtail like Gamzeeās lusus. Mermaid Falkor.Ā
Personality: melaki is a gangster girl, who goes around committing dumb crimes with her fellow clowns. She follows her gut instinct a lot, almost too much. To the point of injury in some situations(I.E. that leg of hers). Shes usually the momma person of the group, making sure her crime friends make it out alright. You could probably compare her to a team skull member or smthn
I like that a lot! I definitely drew on the Team Skull vibe a little more than you probably predicted, haha. Criminal with a heart of gold is a trope I enjoy, so I love her. Is she part of the Clown Cult or is that not much of a thing on Demokratia? You should ask about that if you havenāt, because juggalo culture could also be a good informer for researching for how to play this character!
Interests: trolling, vandalism, stealing, knitting, musicals (usually keeps those last 2 to herself)
Does she like stealing like petty theft or stealing like burglary because those are two different crimes. Something to #think about.
Title:seer of hope.
Understander of hope⦠Knower of hope. I donāt know if I think thatās quite fitting for someone as get-up-and-go as her. Fighty, energized, definitely not the sit back and learn type. If you want her to Learn to be a little more passive, this could probably fit, but as it stands I think sheās probably a Maid of Hope, mmmaybe a Sylph.Ā Ā
Land:land of Faux fur and chapels
Why faux fur Iām laughing. Iām sure thereās a reason⦠But all I can think of is vans with shag carpet in the back. Land of Shag Carpet and Chapels. Thatās mostly a joke suggestion, but either way, love this.Ā
Dream planet: prospit
I Fully Agree that sheās definitely a prospit player but whyāve you sprited her in a dersite outfitā nevermind I wonāt question it.Ā
Onto design!:
Your submitted picture was a little too blurry to work on directly, so I had to rebuild her. I wanted to make her makeup a little more unique, so I based it off of Plumeriaās eye look with the harsh wing and then the greys and whites around the eye. And then I made the outer grey look like Guzmaās interestingly shaped glasses. Everything else was kept largely the same. I gave her same horns, because assymetrical horns always just feel a little weird w/o design reason. And I added a little arrow to her sign as a reference to Caprittanius, the purple/void/prospit sign.Ā
