Sae's characters.... PART TWO!
Spooky (god hers is long even when i try to make it short X_x;; )
past - Spooky was born...different. No one could quite place it, but even as a baby she had a dark cloud around her that made people uneasy, and in time the feeling grew and became all but unbearable whenever she was near. Not knowing what to do with their poor, unnamed daughter, they came to the church of Prontera, but the priests could do nothing for the child but pray. While her parents stood outside the church, unsure of what to do, a strange priest approached them. He told them that he was of a secret sect of the church and could help their child if they gave her to him. Having nowhere else to go, they complied and reluctantly gave up their child.
The secret sect she was given to was comprised of the more overzealous and radical members of the church, who cursed her and lied to her that she was a demon reborn as a human, and only absolute faith in god and following the orders of her superiors could save her. She was raised with strict discipline, and took frequent beatings in the "name of god" and "for her own good." Because she knew of nothing else, she took it all in stride.
When she became older, however, everything changed. While on a mission to the Payon caves to "cleanse the world of evil" she met a young swordsman named Ankiseth, who had been badly hurt and barely managed to escape the caves alive. She healed him without hesitation, for which he was so thankful that he insisted on following her. In time, the inexperienced swordsman would become the first, and possibly only friend she ever had, as well as give her the nickname "Spooky" to make up for her lack of a real name.
Her new friendship with someone outside the sect began to show in her work. She started to neglect her duties, and instead of following orders blindly she began to think for herself. One night she decided to go to the sect's library, the one place where she was forbidden to go. In there she found books and journals documenting a horrible plan the sect had to use her as their puppet to "cleanse the world" permanently, killing human and monster alike. They believed that her unnerving aura made her the perfect catalyst for an ancient apocalyptic device of unknown origin. Infuriated, she left the sect, but knowing nothing but her faith in god, she wandered aimlessly until she was given shelter by the solitary monks. There she was given a new life as a 'lonely ascetic," and swore to stop the plans of the sect that had abused her, and all others who shared their goal of total annihilation...
personality - Spooky was raised without a sense of humor. She never laughs or makes jokes, and rarely smiles. She knows nothing of sarcasm, although she is slowly learning, and never says something unless she means it. As such, she is usually quiet and keeps to herself, relying more on body language than words.
Pantaloon Gallant (yes, really)
past - Pantaloon is Saeris's older twin brother, (by fifteen minutes) and from almost day one wished to be a valiant crusader like the rest of his family. As soon as he could stand he held a sword, and trained constantly in swordsmanship and the word of god. Although his sister would always lock herself away with her books, they were very close. When Saeris said that she wanted to become a sage, he was the only one who stood up for her decision, and when she left, he was beside himself with grief. Afterwards his aspirations changed from becoming a crusader to finding Saeris, and as soon as he could he began his quest to reunite with his sister.
However, he has no idea what he is doing at all, and he's not the brightest person around...
personality - Pantaloon is...well, he's an idiot. He's that guy in the group that has a short attention span and a small memory bank. He always laughs last, because he's always the last one to get the joke. His heart is in the right place, though, and occasionally he has his moments of clarity. Don't get your hopes up, though.
'Tis all for now, until....PART THREE!
Yes, Pantaloon's story is really short, mostly because it's all covered in Sae's backstory in my first post
This is my first time RPing multiple characters, let alone having the independent sibling element, so bear with me if they start getting short and stereotypical.
