Pager/etc. AIM: KaiouMichi Character Information --------------------- -Name: Harmony Triste -Age: 17 -Sex: Female -Occupation(s): Healer, Priestess -Substitutes which Xenogears Character? (if applicable): Primera (if the age is a problem, I'd be more than happy to change it. The reason I made Prim's substitute older is so she'll have more leeway with occupation, gears, etc.) -Birthdate: January 7 -Height: 5"4 -Weight: 90 lbs -Eyes (colour and shape): Large, round, an iridescent blue -Build: Thin, slim, almost delicate-looking -Complexion: Pale -Facial Features: Small mole on left cheek -Identifying Marks: None -Hair (colour and style): Straight, flowing white that falls few inches below shoulders -Voice: Soft, high, feminine - the perfect voice for someone who soothes and comforts others. -Dress/Attire: Long, modest and elegant blue dress (traditional Healer/Priestess' robe), white scarf for cold occasions. -Jewelry (if any): A silver ring on right hand, two moon-shaped earrings, passed down from generation to generation by the females. -Weapons/Tools (if any): A small, carved knife and a handgun (like the army Berretta) for security. -Armour (if any): Goddess robe, only used during traveling. -Personality: Harmony is a model figure for the calm and stoic. A very quiet woman who does what she is told by her superiors, granted those orders are within her conservative morals. Working as a healer for the Ethnos, Harmony possesses a strong peace of mind that helps her in aiding others' troubled souls. Level-headed and focused, she hides disturbing emotions behind a mask of impassive, almost to a fault. Her silent joy is in the fact that she can make people happy. -Background and History: Found on the steps of the Ethnos Headquarters, Harmony does not know much about her origins or birth except from a letter, which was written by her mother and placed in baby Harmony's little cradle before she was abandoned. In it Harmony's mother expressed deep regret and sorrow at the "sin she comitted a long time ago" by sleeping with a married man. God's punishment, as she saw it, was the birth of Harmony. Unable to live with the baby and the memories it forced upon her mind, Harmony's mother left her at Ethnos, hoping those who work there can grant forgiveness both to her and her illegitimate child. "I wish for my child much happiness... I wish for her a peace of mind... a harmony. That is her name, Harmony. Please save my daughter." Harmony was later trained by Ethnos to become a Healer and Priestess. Her work requires her to travel over Aquavy Islands, and sometimes to fight against the horrid monsters which live in the wilderness. But mostly, she works at Headquarters, praying for those who come to her for emotional salvation. -Birthplace: Unknown, most likely Aquavy. -Mother: Unknown -Father: Unknown (I had wanted her father to be Jesse, but it's up to you/Billy's player.) -Siblings: None that she knows of. -Mate: None -Children: None -Other relations: None that she knows of. -Affiliation: Ethnos -Secondary Skills: Aside from Ether-based healing skills, Harmony possesses some other mild side-effect attacks, such as confuse, sleep, and etc. This usually gives her enough time to plan her next course of action - either to continue fighting or escape. Used usually against Wels. -Abilities/Disabilities (in addition to Ether): Harmony has *very good aim*. Her talent at using a gun to her advantage stems both from her level, calm mind and some unknown genetic factor. There is no hesitation when she uses a gun. Harmony is highly intellectual, but rather dependant on Ethnos HQ and whoever she may be staying with for some very basic things in life (such as laundry, cleaning, cooking, etc). -Hobbies: Traveling throughout the world as an Ethnos 'missionary', seeking for the truth behind all existence. Harmony dutifully accepts the teachings of her superiors, but she enjoys finding out more about life on her own and strengthening her own beliefs. She is also looking for any information on her disappeared mother. -Current residence: Healer's Dorm, next to the Sisters' Hallway and near the civilian bunks in Ethnos HQ. It gives Harmony easy access to both her comrades and the people she serves. -Current Life Conflicts: Harmony loves Ethnos' teachings, but her intuition tells her there is something more to it than she suspects. For a religion to allow both love, forgiveness, and permissible murder of 'monsters' seems strange to her. Harmony hates killing more than anything, and will try to avoid encounters at all costs. -Deathblows (name and function): Leaving this blank as recommended. ^-^ -Other notes: Nothing of importance... except that Harmony talks very little unless she is at work. -Gear name: Hestia RB-V (Hestia Rebirth-Verita) -Gear model: Initially Ethnos' Light Reconnaissance Gear, later modified as Light-Attack Gear after surviving a devastating attack by two Wels. -Height: 16.5 Sharl -Weight: 14 Karn - equipped -Gear description: Royal blue body, silver metal plate extending from the helmet with two protruding wingblades on each elbow (also silver). Slender and light in appearance like its owner, with silver skirt plates, built for agility and ether support. -Class: Ethnos Defensive and Transportation Gear -Primary function: A secure mode of travel, with the potential to destroy/outmaneuver any obstacles if necessary. -Weapon(s): A gear-sized handgun attached to the right side of the gear, "quick draw-esque", and two automatics attached to each arm. Hestia RB-V does not have any cannons/machine guns, but does have a chargeable light laser on its right arm in addition to the automatic. It is a much more damaging weapon than the others, but takes quite awhile to recharge and prepare for another round. Therefore, the laser is best used from a distance, as back-up. -Abilities/Disabilities: Hestia RB-V is fast, with great defense and a well-built Ether Machine. However, it's attack power leaves something to be desired, especially in close-range combat. Its most effective weapon is also the one that takes the longest to load. -How your character acquired the gear: Initially named "Verita", Hestia RB-V is a gear built by Ethno's technology. As stated before, it was first made as a Reconaissance gear, but Harmony was forced one night to leave for the Northeast Lesser Aquavy Islands alone on an emergency. By the shore, she encountered three Giant Wels, who all attacked at the same time. Verita was unable to escape and suffered severe damage. Harmony herself was seriously injured and hospitalized for three months before she was released. She would've truely died had not two Etones went after her that day, thinking that she may need extra security (and they were right). With whatever parts the now-destroyed Verita had left, they rebuilt the gear into the Light-Attack class so that Harmony would still have a certain 'feel' for the gear. They renamed the now functional Verita as Hestia RB-V (Rebirth-Verita), and is still functional to this very day.
