INTERVIEW
[ Notes: IC interviews may be completed in brackets OR prose. Whether your character is inclined to exaggerate or answer modestly, lie or be entirely truthful, you should descibe their movements, facial expressions, and/or inner dialogues accordingly! Characters who must respond in writing or through other means will be given the tools to do so, at whatever technology level is easiest for them to use.
IC Applications do not require sample threads. ]
Some time after arrival, after all has been explained and your character is given time to think and explore, your character is led to a verdant, foliage-filled room by a soft-spoken Sentinel of indeterminate gender, clad in a heavy robe that obscures their face. Once both have taken a seat between two lush ferns, the Sentinel asks the following questions. They come one after the other, offering no commentary or encouragement at any point during their strange interview. If given answers that are too vague or too brief, the Sentinel will simply wait in compelling silence for elaboration; it is clear they are waiting for the why as well as the what.
Although the Sentinel's eyes are not visible in the shadow of their hood, there is an unsettling feeling of being intensely watched throughout.
"Tell me about your world."
"What is your role in your universe?"
"How did you find your place?"
"What do you fear?"
"Who or what is dearest to you?"
"Will you help our cause?"
"Should you stay, you are given a choice of spiritual path: the House of Cloud, or the House of Stone. Have you made your decision?"

Name: Restoria Mod
Over 18?: Yes
Contact:
Characters Currently In Game: N/A
Name: Liri of Rouge
Age: 18
Original/Canon: Original
Link to Character Profile: LINK
Link to Permissions: LINK
Setting:
-- Magical Futurism type setting. Technology looks very advanced, but it's mostly run by magic. Electricity is a very new development as a power source.
-- People live in large bustling cities, but the cities are separated into Quarters (that are not actually 1/4 of the city anymore, but Tradition).
-- Each Quarter has its own Name and is controlled by a ruling Family. The head of those families are part of the Council that rules the City.
-- Magical beasts exist, but some of the rarer ones are thought to have been hunted to extinction. Others are kept in special zoos and conservation facilities. Others exist in the wild and keep things too dangerous for people to live outside of city protective barriers.
-- Cities exist isolated from other cities as much of the landscape is still very much dangerous, even with the advancement of technology.
-- Guides are troupes of people who ferry people from city to city as bodyguards and hunters.
Background:
-- Liri's full name is Lilian Saroi. She's the third daughter of the head of Brun Quarter, Barda Saroi.
-- Was expected to marry off to someone from the Cielo Family of the Azul Quarter to improve Family Relations on her 18th Birthday.
-- Said "No Thanks" and ran off instead to live in Rouge a year before. Was taken in by a Guide troupe when they saw her starting a fight in the middle of a pub over the Rights of Magical Creatures.
-- She has a natural affinity for magical creatures and is their Beast Whisperer, someone who helps them talk down magical creatures while traveling between cities so they don't get attacked/eaten. Only her troupe knows about her ability as she hid it from her family.
-- Doesn't know being a Tamer (original name for a Whisperer back in The Olde Days) runs in her family, but her father died before he could teach her.
-- Is a bit of a wild girl and spends more time in the Wood than she should.
-- Then she ran into a shape-shifting Qirin in the Wood and is now trying to hide her in the Rouge Quarter before someone hunts her down.
-- Turns out most of those rare magical creatures aren't extinct, they've just gained the ability to shapeshift and have been living among humans. Preeya's ability has been disrupted by a magical injury and is thus unreliable.
Personality:
Liri is a wild rabble rouser who will throw down for any cause she feels is a just one. The fact she's managed to hide out in Rouge despite being so flamboyant is purely thanks to the fact Rouge and Brun Do Not Get Along or else the girl would be in Trouble. She loves nature and animals and thinks the way they were raised to hate and fear the Wood and the animals in it is actually doing more harm to them as a people than good. Magic comes from nature and hating nature is hating magic, isn't it?
While Liri can be impulsive sometimes and throw herself into fights over slights and disagreements, she isn't much of a talker most of the time. Actions speak louder than words for her. But get her involved in a discussion (or argument) about one of her favorite topics and you'll wonder if you'll get her to stop. Passionate barely covers it.
Being able to be in the Wood now when before she was punished and berated for it is the best thing for her. She can speak to animals freely and exist among the trees in a way she never could before. Of course it's still dangerous but it's a risk worth taking to feel connected to the world in a way she can't anywhere else. Sometimes she feels like she could go into the Wood and never leave.
Powers/Nerfing:
Magic
Natural affinity is to water magic. Capable of using a few spells: Bubble spell to breathe underwater, Dowsing spell to find water in more desolate area, and Freeze, turning water into solid ice. For nerfing I think these abilities are simplistic enough that they wouldn't need nerfing, but perhaps limited in how long she can use them and how tired she becomes after. She wouldn't be able to do them more than once a day.
Beast Whisperer
Liri can speak to animals, whether magical or otherwise. She understands them even if she cannot necessarily "read their minds" as some might assume. She feels their emotions and understands their intentions and has an aura that is soothing to animals which allows her to get close to them even if they would normally be wary of a human. Even sentient magical beings find her a calming and friendly presence to be near. For nerfing I would want to curb this down to only regular animals or animals that arrive from her own world. To be able to use this skill on other creatures would need more experience in Restoria and would take a lot out of her.
