Pager/etc. (if applicable): 16749151 Character Information --------------------- -Name: Elanore (Elly) Liuna -Age: 18 -Sex: female -Occupation(s): Solaris Special services/Intelligence unit (currently on leave, excused from duty for an unspecified period of time.) -Substitutes which Xenogears Character? (if applicable): Elly -Birthdate: August 23 -Height: 5'8" -Weight: 130 lbs. -Eyes (colour and shape): Sapphire blue, rimmed with thick, deep brown lashes. Her eyes are large, yet at the same time have a narrow, tilted look that gives them an almost exotic type of beauty. Light also has a rather startling effect on them, oftem giving them the illusion of a luminescent glow. -Build: Thin and compact. Moves with a lithe grace that speaks of deadly skills and perfect control, without hard edges or an obvious implication of strength. -Complexion: typically pale, as most Gazel are. Her creamy skin is completely free of blemishes, but as a result of her heritage, it is also extremely delicate -- it burns instead of tans, and extreme weather sometimes causes slight redness around her cheeks and chin. -Facial Features: Aside from her unusual eyes, Elanore's other defining features are her cute, upturned nose and a pair of full, shell pink lips. Her cheeks are a bit chubby, as if some of her 'baby fat' had decided to stay behind. Her eyebrows are naturally scultped in a soft curve, giving the illusion of a smile even when she is serious. -Identifying Marks: a mysterious scar, like a puncture wound, at the nape of her neck. -Hair (colour and style): Her hair is a deep, rich auburn, partially swept back in a half ponytail with a thin white ribbon. Thick, fluffy bangs and a pair of thick strands of hair frame her face like an oval frame, the bangs reaching just above her eyebrows and the other strands covering her ears and brushing her shoulders. The rest of her hair falls just past her waist, thick and prone to tangling. -Voice: alto to deep soprano, sometimes marred by a cynical edge. -Dress/Attire: A full white jumpsuit, not unlike a gear-mecahnic's, though more refined and fitted to 'slim' her body. White embroidery around the cuffs and collar are the only decoration, other than the fact that the material itself is rich and very expensive. White boots usually accompany the outfit, but Elanore is fond of running barefoot. -Jewelry (if any): none -Weapons/Tools (if any): a thin poniard, almost long enough to be a short sword. -Armour (if any): none -Personality: Extremely forgiving, no matter what. She shows kindness to everyone, even those she has been taught are undeserving, and claims that nobody is undeserving of love. However, she does not display the common, so-called failings usually associated with such behavior, such as complete trust in everything, or fanaticism. She constantly questions life, humanity, and Solaris, though not openly. She has made her objections to the treatment of Lambs known though, and purposely goes out of her way at times to help them. Also, she secretly harbors an intense lonliness due to her attitude -- many people avoid her because of it. And because she spends so much time in an operation run mostly by men, she often wishes she had another woman to talk to...... a best friend, or a sister. This need for trust and love always wells up after her missions. -Background and History: She doesn't remember. Elanore was the eldest child of a Gazel family, but unfortunately she can only remember a brief part of that childhood -- teh rest is lost. She remembers a brother, as well as another child in her family, and her early school days. However, she cannot remember names or faces, and all she knows is that she typically scored high grades and won several awards of merit. Elanore eventually became an Element, command class, and a member of the Special services agency of Solaris. She was often assigned to intense, dangerous intelligence operations, both on the surface, and Shevat, but due to her exceptional abilities she was never in any way harmed. Her record was perfect - no captures, failures, misdemeanors...... She was called the Angel of Mercy among her companions for her kindness to the Lambs, and her compassion for her teammates. Amazingly enough, none of this was reflected in her records. Nobody reported her unorthodox behavior to Solaris Command, and she continued to be their 'perfect' officer. Her career was at its height, and she had everything one could possibly want...... until her last mission. Her orders were to proceed - alone - to an Ethos base just off the coast of Kislev. Evidence of a betrayal had been found, and she was called upon to get in, destroy any databanks, experiments and unauthorized material in the center, then get out without being detected. But while Solaris had accounted for all logical obstacles and her ability to overcome them, they had not counted on betrayal. An as-of-yet unknown person alerted the garisson to her presence, and in the resulting battles she was beaten and captured by Ethos guardsmen. That incident is ingrained in her mind, but she cannot remember anything of what happened to her, or how she escaped. She remembers her childhood as Gazel, but all other events in her life beyond that are gone. This handicap forced Solaris command to temporarily discharge her from the Service -- but Solaris never lets soldiers such as her go free. Every week an agent appears at her doorstep with a medication and 'stories' about her life she only vaguely recognizes, but aside from recent nightmares and static flashbacks that render her immobile for days, she does not have any memory of her previous life -- or what occurs in those flashbacks. -Birthplace: believed to be the First Class level of Solaris -Mother: Zoe Liuna -Father: Nathane Liuna -Siblings: A brother, two and a half years younger than she is. -Mate: none -Children: none -Other relations: none -Secondary Skills: Infilteration, observation, computer/program hacking -Abilities/Disabilities: "Kyounan" -- produces a golden shower of projectiles resembling shooting stars that rain down within a twenty foot radius. "Watcher" -- produces a temporary, one-person shield. Elanore is also proficient in several areas of martial arts, and the use of a wide array of weapons, though she prefers to fight with just her dagger or her bare fists. Other skills not mentioned here are basic elemental attacks, both of Ether and Chi origin. -Hobbies: sculpting (although she isn't very good at it), reading, and taking care of children. -Current residence: Bledavik -Current Life Conflicts: She is completely oblivious to the struggles going on around her at the moment, but sometimes flashes come back to her, and she feels the need to help, somehow, without knowing what to do. -Other notes: -Gear name: Clorys (named after the ancient Elruian goddess of nature and love.) -Gear description: Lavender and white are the gear's primary colors, and its structure almost perfectly emulates Elanore's own body, down to figure, flexibility, and pleasing appearance. (^_~) Flexible silver cuffs are molded around the gear's wrists, ankles, and waist, but even Elanore does not know their purpose. -Class: Light attack -Primary function: hit and run tactics, and the usual Ether amplification. -Weapon(s): sometimes a short blade -Abilities/Disabilities: "Aerods" -- (sealed) solid ether attack, producing several "bullets" that target specific enemies and explode for maximum damage. Non Elemental. "Sonic Wave" -- amplified version of Kyounan, with an extended range. Unlike most amplified attacks however, this one requires a small amount of fuel, because it involves physical movement. -How your character acquired the gear: Clorys was given to her when she was appointed to the Element class, and has since been modified to fit her current class. Mordon took a hand in its creation, but what he did has been struck from the records. It resides in the gear bays under Bledavik, awaiting her call.
