(if applicable): Dominia -Birthdate: July 15 -Height: 5'10" -Weight: 130 -Eyes (colour and shape): light amber brown, slanted. -Build: lush but not overly endowed. She has more of a dancer's figure, and appears deceptively slender. She's fairly well muscled for a woman, but not overly so. -Complexion: Her skin appears to be tanned, but it is smooth and un- blemished, and it sets her hair and eyes off to perfection. -Facial Features: Her slanted eyes and hairstyle give her an almost exotic look, but although her face is striking, it isn't quite beautiful. -Identifying Marks: a brown birthmark just below her left ear -- it looks liek a stylized rose. -Hair (colour and style): Her hair is a deep raven black, and shines with bluish highlights in the sun. She wears it tied back in a loose loop ponytail (a ponytail pulled through a loop of her hair, in other words) and tied with a crimson ribbon. She has light bangs, and strands of curls always hang just in front of her ears. -Voice: a strong, melodious alto, full of command. -Dress/Attire: A deep red and black uniform, similar to that of the Elements she is still a part of, but modified to show she also holds a higher rank. Instead of the green diamond of Jugend, she wears the symbol of Gebler at her neck, engraved in a blue crustal. She also wears black, knee-high leather boots, and her skirt extends down to her knees in the back, also signifying rank (in place of a cape). -Jewelry (if any): none -Weapons/Tools (if any): a broad sword -Armour (if any): none -Personality: Victoria is extremely loyal, and she is a great believer in putting one's heart into one's work. She shows an interest in everything she comes across, and makes it a point to learn as much as she can about whatever catches her eye, displaying a great understanding of the world, and at times is considered an "intellectual type". But she has a hot, unpredictable temper, and she doesn't really care much for others in general. -Background and History: Victoria grew up in a peaceful little town on the surface, somewhere in Nisan. Her father was a minor councilman, and her mother a homemaker. She planned on following in her mother's footsteps, but more because of tradition than any desire to be a homemaker or mother. But not more than a month after her eighteenth birthday, her peaceful life was intruded upon by Solaris. She and the rest of her family were taken in the night, herded into a mysterious vehicle, and transported to Solaris. Her parents were forced into the worker blocks, but she was taken to Mordon's lab. With the application of Drive, she went crazy. She only remembers bits and pieces of it, but what she does remember gives her nightmares, and she refuses to talk about it, or even admit that she was a part of such a wholesale slaughter. When she came to, she was offered a place at Jugend, and a chance to help her family. She took it, and worked hard to become an Element, and gain as much power as she could with her 'talents'. When she graduated she was at the top of her class, and was immediately given command of her own unit. Six months later she was promoted again, and yet again after that, until she was second in command of the Gebler organization. -Birthplace: Nisan -Mother: Elena Seliny -Father: Teran Seliny -Siblings: none -Mate: none -Children: none -Other relations: Mordon - nature undisclosed. Her best friend, Shaina -- although few know of the friendship. -Secondary Skills: Microtechnology -- she isn't a major mind in the field, but she knows quite a bit about it for a military commander. -Abilities/Disabilities:Ether-- "Cobra Coil" -- allows her to restrain anything gear-size or less with a ring of Ether. Unfortunately, it doesn't last long, and is has to be kept up consciously. "Flaming Earth"-- melts the earth beneath her enemies' feet and causes it to rise in a wall of lava, encasing her victim and burning them alive. -Hobbies: She likes to draw, and she's resonably good at it. She used to draw little comic strips for her friends when she was a child. -Current residence: Solaris, 1st class level -Current Life Conflicts: She simply doesn't know what she should do -- she's having doubts about Solaris and its policies, but has no way to express them, or figure them out. Instead, she lashes out at Lambs. -Other notes: Just consider her "misguided". -Gear name: Starblaze -Gear description: Bright gold and burgundy armor, somewhat bulky but with a stream-lined appearance. She carries a long sword, usually latched to the gear's back when not in use. No major identifying features. -Class: Heavy Ether Attack -Primary function: Ether amplification and generation, and light to medium attack ranges. -Weapon(s): Yikati Blade (A gear-sized long sword designed for slash and parry attacks.) -Abilities/Disabilities: Midona Flare -- similar to "Flaming Earth", but with a wider range. The Yikati Blade is also used for a prolonged effect, as channeling the ether through the sword focuses the power to a finer point. -How your character acquired the gear: The gear was designed specifically for her when she was promoted above Earth.
