PLAYER↴ Name: Pash Contact: pashchan , PM this journal, discord @ pashchan, roleplaychar@gmail.com Other Characters: N/A CHARACTER↴ Character Name: NONA1 (Or Project Silvergaze) Age: Looks to be in her early 20's, is actually 5 years old Species: Artificial Fae Canon: OC Canon Point: After the lab, or her 'home' was destroyed Character Info: The Fae nation is made of faeries, pixies, and various other forest dwelling creatures, they came together as one nation four hundred years ago to equal the other Supernatural tribes, kingdoms, and nations banding together to stay away from humans. Most have a short lifespan, 50 years to the average 70 or 80 of a human, however it is possible with strong enough magics to lengthen one's life. Because of this, Fae politics tend to be at once chaotic and orderly, for the person with the strongest magics and the longest life gets to have the most power in the nation. The world of the Fae, compared to other supernatural races and species is even more secretive and closed off from humanity, however small things are going through the barrier, such as human technology and customs. (As well as a growing curiosity of the youth and a willingness to risk all to get the human technology. The ones that blatantly disobeyed Fae law are called 'borderjumpers'.) Several valuable things have been discovered with human tech and customs, including a possible way to lengthen a fae's life without the use of magic. The more traditionalist, extremist magical believing Fae do worry about a loss of identity, as well as a loss of power. Because there is the chance that an average fae with little to no magical ability can possibly outlive them. The 'human' kind of magic, science and technology (which is called 'metals' in faerie-speak, due to fears of dangerous metals being used in this work) and the combination of it and faerie magic is called 'metal magics'. Scientists that specialize in this unique discipline are called, 'silvers'. These scientists are highly controversial in the Fae nation, beloved and almost worshiped in some areas, and despised and called the sign of the end in others. Many of them are border jumpers that grew up to develop technologies. In this time of rampant change in the world of the Fae, NONA1: the first sentient artificial fae, was created. A group dedicated to the creation of a possible sentient artificial fae, Team Silvergaze was created, made up of most experienced 'silvers' in the nation. Successes were made with non-sentient Fae robotics in the past due to their work and research. Many prototypes were made, but it wasn't until one of their team, Nona Driftwish died due to prolonged metal contact that they got serious about creating the first Fae Artificial life. After a decade of research, NONA1 was switched on for trials, or 'born'. Within five years she never left the research facility, soaking up information about the world around her and the circumstances that created her. The team were all she knew and were the closest thing she could call family. Until the lab was infiltrated by magical extremists and destroyed. NONA1 managed to escape, but the rest of the team died in the attack. NONA1 went out into the outside world for the first time.    Personality: Being a living being that has only 5 years of living under her, it's a correct assumption that NONA1 is fairly naive and easy to fool. However there lies a sense of self that she treasures most, she is aware of the sacrifices made for her to exist. (Sometimes figurative, sometimes literally with the deaths of her namesake and later the entire team that created her.) So she treasures her every breath and tries to see and experience as much as she can, not only out her own huge curiosity for the world around her, but for the people that would have wanted this. She was raised in the isolation of the lab, her family the team that created her. Everything about the outside world, both human and Faerie, came from them through books, smuggled in videos, and personal stories and lessons taught by them. They told her stories about their early years as silvers. Some of which were exciting to her, some were terrifying. (They did not mince details about what happens to a naturally born fae when metal poisoning happens or the price of being caught with human technology.) She was told about the lower-class fae, who's hope of rising above their station and lengthening their lives lies with with this foreign. And the hope that she represents to those people merely by existing.  Admittedly, the pressure was a little too much for her to bear, but she never told others about it. She merely wanted to exist, to experience the simple pleasures of existence. But once her home is destroyed she is left lost with no idea how to exist. (She's also fearful of those people that hate her existence. After what they did to her home and family, she doesn't want to know what they would do to her.)    She has a bit of trouble sensing details or hints of nuance in emotion such as sarcasm, certain inflections on the voice, or the casting of eyes. She also has a bit of a problem with expressing full emotions, seeing as five years isn't quite enough time to learn these things. Despite these things, she isn't emotionless, far from it. The problem is often that she feels deeply, but it doesn't translate too hell to her face, voice, or body language.    NONA1 considers herself fae, so naturally she's close to most plants and places of nature. She'll be even more adamant about staying outside as much as possible. She gained many hobbies in her five years including dance, singing, sewing, hairdressing, and jewelry making.   Abilities: - Fae Magic: She was in the process of learning magic at the time her 'home' was destroyed. So her ability is there, but is rather novice in skill and weak without Nona Driftwish's gem hanging around her neck. NONA1 can gain energy from plants and nature, summon up small amounts of kinetic energy, a small shield to protect herself, and cast small illusions on her person and others. - A Fae, but not Really: NONA1 considers herself fae, but is an artificially-made fae. She cannot grow wings to fly, certain high powered magics are unavailable to her, will possibly live for longer than the fae in her world if kept up, and is invulnerable to steel and iron. She also can grow her hair and nails at will, make calculations and learn things quickly, and things done by her hands tend to be more accurate and neat. CARNIVAL↴ Soul Colour:  A smoky, pale purple. English Lavender, if you wish to be specific. (This will shock her, because well, she's a artificial being and she wasn't entirely sure she even had one.)   Ideal Jobs: -Makeup -Tailor -Dancer Relevant Experience: NONA1 often takes great pains in creating unearthly beauty in others and avidly followed fae trends in beauty so the Makeup and Tailor jobs could suit her well.  She is also artificial, so her hands are still and her stitching is nearly mechanical with no mistakes and her brush strokes are perfect. (There could also be trace amounts of magic in her works done by hands.)  I can also see her becoming a Dancer. Dance is also a great love of hers, practicing every morning in the lab and studying other through videos or books. And she wished for others to see her craft.        Reason for Joining: A veteran worker convinced her that she could see more of the outside world if she joined the carnival. So she joined.   SAMPLES↴ Sample 1 Sample 2
