Character Bio - Florence

Character Name / Nicknames / Aliases:  

Florence Alanna Wright

Birth Date: 

1^st of April, Twenty-Seven years ago.

Place of Birth:

She was born in the city of Thalis. Since the fall of The Order ten years after the burning of the library, the remnants have gathered in this city. The fall was caused by great distrust among the people, and the sorceress Page who helped to destroy them. Still keeping a hold on the political figures as well as other high ranking officials, The Order has stayed in secrecy for the past years, awaiting the perfect time to invoke their new regime. Florence and her brothers were born just for this purpose, to help dispel and destroy the greater forces of magic, and then reemerge once again to control the world and its people.

Thalis, with her family, though she is rarely at home.

Race:

Changeling

5’ 8”

Weight: 

115lb

Measurements:

She has a smaller frame, but is muscular to a point. She was built for speed rather than strength.

Clothing Sizes / Styles:

Florence prefers lighter fabrics that are easier to move in, but are heavy enough to be some sort of shield from the elements. She prefers to show very little skin with her clothing, all that really shows is her head, neck and fingers.

Wispy hair that reaches about midway down her back.

Ice blue, dead almost lifeless looking eyes.

Tattoos:

Up her left arm, to her shoulder and around her neck and left leg is a tattoo of diamond back snakes.

General Appearance:

Florence almost never takes her true form as a changeling, but usually stays in the same human female form. Standing at the same weight and height, but in the form of a human, with shorter, black cropped hair. *See Picture*

Relationship with Family:

She has a rather complicated relationship with her family. All of them are still living. But, they don’t hold much feeling for each other. If you saw the way they interacted, you would think they were only talking business, rather than as a family. All of them are like her, cold, uncaring, lifeless in tone, except her older brother who left the area entirely to go pursue his dream of becoming a scholar, wanting nothing to do with the family.

Key Family / Relatives:

Mother – Diana Steph Wright [ Living ] Human – A follower of The Order, she was arranged to be married to Geard to bear his children and raise them in accordance to tradition, she lacks any real emotion or feeling.

Father – Geard ( Gey-ard ) Jay Wright [ Living ] Changling – A part of a small sect of the order, called the Serpentine, assassin changelings raised from birth to follow The Order and kill for them. Since the decline of The Order, The Serpentine’s numbers dwindled to just him, and as in tradition, he was to choose a wife from one of the order’s women and bear children. He chose Diana, having secretly fallen in love with her, since Love is forbidden, along with any other emotions that can hinder their faith.

Older Brother – Emery Mark Wright [ Living ] Changeling – Hates his heritage and the order, always stays in the same human form. Instead of doing as the rest of his family, he cut all ties and left. He is 32 now, much closer in age to his sister. He has a wife who is expecting a child, whether it be changeling or not is still a mystery.

Younger Brother – Lionel Dwayne Wright [ Living ] Changeling – Is much like his sister, and is even more so focused on fulfilling the order’s wishes, it being his soul guidance and authority in his life. He is 19 years old, born much longer after his sister.

Relationship with Friends:

Just like with her family, any sort of friends are more like business relationships to her. You help her out, she will help you out.

Key Friends:

Gareth Nikolia – The closest person she could consider a friend. They talk when they need to, both of them understanding the business aspect of the relationship. They don’t tell each other much of anything but they know they can rely on each other when the need comes. As for his description, he is in his mid thirties, tall with scruff dark hair and deep set eyes, though they have a lightness about them. He always has this deep, bellowing laughter, and is much of a joker. In D&D terms, he is a human fighter.

Key Enemies:

She has no real key enemies other than those who oppose the order, as well as those she is told to kill.

Educational History:

She was taught only the laws and beliefs of the order, and how to read their scriptures, as well as Geography and a distorted recount of history. She learned little of science and none of magic, but learned basic math from her father.

Work History:

She has worked as an assassin for the order since the day she could first take on a mission. She has held no other jobs, except maybe as a spy as well.

Skills:

She is a master liar, as it comes with her job and her race. She rarely does lie, however, unless she needs to. Her other skills lie in her stealth, and acrobatics, as well as keen perception and athletics. Florence has learned how to read other’s emotions, and be able to incite certain ones in others if need be.

Phobias / Fears:

Ataxophobia - Fear of disorder or untidiness.

Ornithophobia - Fear of birds.

Somniphobia - Fear of sleep.

Unlike others, she does not fear things that most do. She lacks a fear of death, as well as a fear of pain, as taught and instilled into her brain by The Order, believing that to be killed is to have served your purpose. A fear of death only hinders your ability to follow the Lady Palas-Homonay. She also has blocked out a fear of failure, knowing that it can hinder performance, as well as she believes she cannot fail. And also, even though she does fear, it doesn’t show, but on the inside it affects her.

Quirks:

She counts. She counts everything. The only thing that is predominantly running through her mind is the same numbers, over and over and over. 1, 2, 3, 4. She counts everything in sets of four. Sometimes she will count out loud. But it’s always a steady, even pace, never rushed, never slowed. The fact she is actually able to remember how many times she has repeated the same sequence and then there how many of what she counted there are, is just incredible. An example of which would be if she was just walking around a town. When she was done, she could tell you how many steps she took, how many buildings there were, the number of windows, people wearing leather shoes. Anything. She counts everything and has numerous sequences of counting happening in her head at the same time.

Best Qualities:

She has a level head, and never rushes into thing, always thinking things through before she does them and with her lack of emotions, it doesn’t get in the way of her judgment. She also doesn’t see much point in lying, so she never does. If she isn’t going to tell you, she just isn’t going to say anything at all.

Worst Qualities:

She does things without consenting others. If she is going to do something, then she isn’t going to come to you and tell you. If you ask, she will, but she doesn’t think she needs to check in with anyone before doing something, and she doesn’t feel the need to ask permission either. She also isn’t very loyal in many respects. She does things that best interest her

Key Childhood Experiences:

Training to become a Black Serpent of The Order of the Lady Palas-Homonay. It was all she could remember, was being taught the customs of the order, how to fight and defend herself using the stealth and shadows, as well as her other educational knowledge.

Key Teenage Experiences:

At the age of thirteen she was initiated as an official member of the order, and as well as a Serpentine. When she was fifteen, he brother decided to leave home, sick of The Order and it’s lies after being opened to external media. He was excommunicated from the group, though still sworn to secrecy. Florence had been close with her brother, well, as close as she could be, but his traitorous actions to The Order gave her distaste and dislike towards him, They were full well ready to kill him, but the Order Elders decided to let him go, because he would see the light soon enough and return.

Key Adult Experiences:

She has no key adult experiences, but continued her work as an assassin for the order.

Sexual Background:

Florence has never seen much point in having sexual relationships, and doesn’t bother with them. She’s never really even had much of a relationship before. She just doesn’t care.

Favorites:

She doesn’t have many favorites, but she does really enjoy flowers. She doesn’t know much about them, but she loves their beauty and scent, though doesn’t let anyone know of her enjoyment.

Personal Goals:

She has no real personal goals other than to fulfill her service to The Order and help bring back about its resurrection. These are the same as her professional goals.

Morality / Ethics:

Florence has a respect and love for the life of any creature, plant or humanoid, despite how she may act outwardly. She will not destroy or kill unless absolutely necessary. And in accordance with The Order, she sees Magic as a sin against nature.

Style of Speech:

Slow, even tone. Her voice distant and unrelating. She never uses contractions or shortenings of any words, and always uses the most proper of grammar, saying out every word in a sentence. She also rarely makes eye contact with you when she is talking to you, but will seem to be staring at the empty space beside your head, or off somewhere else. The only time she will really ever look someone in the eyes is when she is trying to get something, like a point, through to someone. She speaks bluntly, and not often unless she has something to say or is talked to first. Also, every time before she speaks, she breathes out a little through her nose. Not hard, but just a short, slow, light breath. Though, if under a guise, she is able to change her speech habits to fit the person.

Commonly Used Words / Slang / Jargon:

“I take your life in the name of the Lady Palas-Homonay”

“The Order shows the true path to enlightenment.”

“You may believe that if you wish.”

Lies / Misinformation:

Her entire knowledge of the world has been distorted to fit the order, as was everyone else. Their histories are skewed and show only favor to the order and their sects, showing everyone else, especially magic users, as abominations and defilers of nature. She blindly follows this faith, not questioning.

Fighting Style:

She uses knifes as her main weapon, many of them concealed on her person of all different sizes and lengths. During battle, she relies more on speed and cunning rather than brute strength or magic. Florence uses her stealth and the shadows to surprise her enemies and catch them off guard, not foreign to using underhanded tactics to gain her victory.

Other Important Details:

She understands the position The Order is in now, and it is the one thing she will not reveal is that she works for them unless talking with another member of The Order. Though she believes in it strongly, she knows it is not something that should be brought up in conversation. Her missions are secret, and the reasoning behind them she will not tell.
