Welcome to Gaia! ::

(Hope this is alright ^_^ )

Name: Claire Baker
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Appearance: About 5'4 with pale but freckled skin. Her eyes are dark green and her hair is dark brown, long and wavy. She wears comfortab;e but somewhat formal attire for her job, and then switches out to most definately comfy clothes when at home andn gaming.
History: Rather than on one of the colonies, Claire was born and raised on home planet Earth. There she lived with a nurturing mother and an occasionally disappearing father. Around when she started college she gained suspicions about his activities elsewhere, but nothing was confirmed ultil she got her first job, communicating between earth and the other colonies... helping with supplies of food, technology, and such, as well as informing those who need to know if people, like doctors or farmers and the like, are needed in specific areas. She discovered that her father had an entirely different family elsewhere and was always off seeing them. Doing a bit of research, she discovered she had an younger brother and made contact. He suggested that she join Lillend so they could get to know eachother without their mothers knowing.

Character Name: Anlu
Character Gender: Female
Character Appearance: Chin length, shaggy black hair with silver streaks, purple eyes, and slightly tanned skin. She didn't want her character to look like the real her, because what's the fun in that? Her attire is composed of common brown leather boots and belt, black pants, shirt, and gloves with a nice purple and red trim.
Character Class: Holosin
Character History: No character history, yet. She is a newbie. Complete with a small, cheap laser sword and enough creds to declare you "dirt poor"!

Name: Walter Baker
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Appearance: 5'10" with collar length dark brown hair and blue eyes, he's extremely skinny and fair skinned. He is unabashedly unathletic, and it shows in his slender build and lack of muscle definition. He dresses simply and without much forethought, and wears glasses.
History: Born and raised on one of the colonies, Walter has only ever visited Earth on school trips and once to visit a few potential colleges. His parents were never married, though Walter did take his last name. His father traveled often, a businessman on Earth, and was only somewhat involved in Walter's upbringing. He was shocked when he was first approached by his older Half-Sister, but quickly took to her. He'd been playing Lillend for awhile at that point and suggested they use that to keep in touch discreetly.

Otherwise, Walter is currently in college studying networking and software coding. He eventually hopes to work on projects similar in scope to Lillend.

Character Name: Avor Mackelin
Character Gender: Male
Character Appearance: 6'0" with short red hair and green eyes, he is bronze skinned and athletically muscled. He's also strikingly handsome, with no obvious physical imperfections. He is dressed according to whatever gear happens to be best for him at the time, though it's most often a flowy garment in a warm color.
Character Class: Alomancer
Character History: Walter's been playing Avor for a while now, and is of mid level. He'd been inactive and busy with college for some time, however, and hadn't been playing much. Since his sister decided to join, Walter's determined to "slum" a bit and help her level up so they can adventure together. Being an Alomancer, he tends to get around and most likely knows some of the other characters or has partied with them in the past. ( PM me if you wanna have them know each other or anything like that. biggrin )

The colony he's from:

Colony Name: Melas (Named for the nearby canyons)
History: One of the earliest extra terrestrial colonies, Melas has since grown extremely large and sprawled significantly across the mostly terraformed martian surface. It's well known for having vast industrial complexes, as the pollution laws are significantly more lax there than on Earth.
Mother country: United States
Location: Mars, near the Melas Chasma

Name: Samuel Eckhardt
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Appearance: Shoulder length brown hair with a scraggly goatee and hazel eyes. He stands about 5'10" and weighs around 150. He wears a lot of different things, but normally he wears blue jeans with an off white dress shirt tucked in. When out and about he tends to throw a jean jacket over it with sleeves from the jacket and the shirt rolled up. He wears a watch on his left wrist with a navy blue band, and a leather band with a skull and crossbones on his other.
History: Samuel was born and raised on Earth and had a relatively normal life. He was an only child, and because of that he was rather protected by his parents. With no one at home to play with, he spent most of his time playing games; to the point where he wanted to make them for others. Once he graduated High School, he went to college to learn how to make them. He's got about two years left until he graduates, then he's going to try and find a job in a gaming company. During this year, he heard about Lillend online, and decided to sign up for the beta testing, but didn't make it in. Now that it's out, he's going to play it as much as he can, without conflicting with his classes.

Character Name: Azura Skye
Character Gender: Male
Character Appearance: His height and weight are roughly the same as Sam's. His hair is a bit darker then his own and falls down to the middle of his back bundled in a ponytail. His outfit consists of a light black fabric for both the pants and the shirt. The shirt is sleeveless and has a high color, and both pieces have blue trim on them. He wears black and blue hockey tape type material as rings on each of his fingers. His shoes are comfortable black sneakers with blue clasps to hold them. His weapon of choice is the gunsword, so he can be more versatile.
Character Class: Holosin
Character History: Azura is a new Holosin in Lillend, and is hoping to have a blast going through the world experiencing new challenges.

I'd be happy to group up with fire if that's what'd be easiest, but Rin is already a Holosin for us. If another group might need one of those, they can always take fire if they need.

No, the way we have it, there'd be too many people in one party if we do have Fire go to a different group.

As it stands right now, these are the groups that are likely to get together:

[4:58:02 PM] Lucy: [4:47 PM] Lucy:

<<< so if we do that, it'd be Aku, Angel, Peter, Ariella, and possibly Ringie's character
For Valemark
[4:48 PM] Lucy:

<<< Caela, Guess, Feng, Jacob and Lais?
One party for Everfire
[4:48 PM] Lucy:

<<< then the ones leftover are.. Avor, Anlu, one of Ringie's chars
and Dylan's char
Second party for Everfire

If we put Fire in the last party, then that'd make the groups five characters even. It doesn't matter if two holosins are in one party. Double classes in a group is bound to happen. The only thing that matters is that there is no double of an Alomancer in a party, since having two would useless.

But, with any fighting class, it doesn't matter if there's two or not. The more melee in a group, the better, so they can protect those that aren't melee. :3

Lawl. These aren't official or anything, it's just the direction it seems to be going. And if you backread in the chat, you'll see it was around 4:30-ish.

And for the holosins, as I said to Rin, they'd be advantageous, but not necessary for a party for the event. So it's fine that one group doesn't have one, and one group has two. I'd much prefer that over one group having six people, and one group having four people.

Since Arch's post reminded me, I put in a tidbit about tattoos in the info thread, under the items category. Basically, they aren't available at character creation, but they're in-game, and rather expensive to get. Rune Masters usually get one for a quick self-buff, but other players can get them, too, to look pretty or manly or whatever. :3

No, I completely understand that aspect of it. I'm just sitting here all like "wait? They're setting up teams and me an Rin are just the leftovers?" It was sort of frustrating.
