Name:  Aurora Anderson

Gender:  Female

Birthday: July 14th, 1995

Age: 16

Birthplace: Anchorage, Alaska, USA


Physical Description (include clothing generally worn): Aurora is around 5 ft. 4 in. tall. She is lean, but not skinny, having a slightly muscular physique. Lacking is real defining curves, she has an almost straight male waist, small curves only developing recently in the hip area. Her breasts, as she claims, have been slow to develop and she wears an A cup bra. Her eyes are dark brown, with highlights of lighter colors flickering here. They aren't very large or round, rather a bit narrowed, almost Asian like in appearance, but not quite as slanted. Her nose is wide, but not pointed, a little flat and probably her least favorite feature. Aurora has large full lips and her skin is a dark, tan-ish skin tone, that derives from her Native American heritage on her mother's side. She has mid-back length dark brunette hair which is slightly wavy when she does not blow dry and style her hair. She often wears it in two messy pigtail braids or a similar style but part of her hair is left out of the braids cascading down her back. Occasionally she wears it up in a messy bun, usually when lounging around the house or doing chores.

Her normal casual attire is comfy, jeans and a t-shirt style. She isn't as into feminine colors as much and enjoys dark or neutral colors. She has a lot of black t-shirts (many are screen prints) in her wardrobe. However, where she lacks in fashion for her hair and clothes, she makes up for it by accessorizing. Usually she is seen with a variety of earrings, something different each day. Also, necklaces, chokers, hemp jewelry, a variety of bracelets from bangles to charm bracelets to those popular gel bracelets, and of course rings. She has a very large selection.


Personality: Having rich parents doesn't necessarily mean Aurora is snobby, or so she likes to think. Aurora is a pretty laid back and chill girl, however, due to usually being able to get what she wants, she comes across as a snob when talking to others at times. She doesn't really mean to and can't help it that she can come to school every morning with her venti double shot skinny salted caramel frappuchino from Starbucks as she and her sister, Dawn, drive up in their little convertible Miata. Despite having an easy life when it comes to money, Aurora is a hard worker on the tasks she sets her mind too. Even though she can't pick one hobby, once she starts on something, she doesn't stop. She shines in her art classes and pushes herself after school at dance team practice.
With her friends, Aurora is open, outgoing, and friendly. She loves to laugh and make others laugh. She will not hesitate to help a friend in need. Even with her rich nature, she doesn't pick her friends based on status. Aurora straight up helped to pay for costs and uniform of the dance team for one of the members who was having money problems at home. If she notices a friend mentioning something they want but can't have, she makes mental notes of it for future birthdays and holidays. Aurora is just a giving person and it makes her happy to see her friends happy.

With her twin, Dawn, they do have their moments where they butt heads. Being twins, they have always wanted to find ways to separate themselves from each other. Aurora has a strong need to become her own identity and figure out what it is on her own.  However, despite all that, she loves her twin and has a close bond with her. She knows when she is feeling sad or something is wrong, and is always there for her when needed. Aurora does know when to keep away and they spend healthy time away from each other, in their own rooms.

With her older sister, Zarya, Aurora mostly looks up to her. She admired her independence from their parents and how she has done well on her own. Aurora does get annoyed whenever her sister talks down to her like she's their mom or dad. She just puts up with it though because who else would be the adult in the house?


Any Unique Abilities/Skills: good cook; runs fast, high agility; dancing


Hobbies/Occupations: Reading; texting her friends; browsing the internet (Tumblr and deviantart in particular); a bit of a casual gamer; enjoys working out, usually by running or some other type of aerobic exercise like dance or roller-skating; is on the dance team; does a variety of crafts from making duct tape wallets to origami to small drawings or paintings, she has trouble keeping to one thing and goes back and forth, her hands always need to be doing something; also enjoys cooking and is often the one making the meals around the house; also a bit into collecting cute items like Hello Kitty, My Little Pony, anything small, cute, and collectable. ((Added this here just cause I already had it written up.))

History: ] Aurora grew up in Anchorage, Alaska as the daughter of two engineers. Her mother a descendant of the Eskimos, specifically Inuit peoples.  She studied engineering in the Continental States, which is where she met Aurora's father. The both are engineers (her father is a mechanical engineer, while her mother is chemical) working for the Alyeska Pipeline Service Company, specifically wokring on the Trans Alaska Pipeline System.  They grew up in Alaska for their first seven years. When they were six, their older sister went to live with their grandparents, a year later, they did too.  Despite their parents never being around, they were always given the best of the best and all around spoiled by their parents (which they felt bad for never being able to spend time with their children). They always had the best toys, clothes, gadgets, you name it. Even living with their grandparents was no different, they were always given everything they could possibly want. Once, their older sister left to attend college in another state, the twins rather liked the idea of living on their own, no adults around. So they decided to go live with her.

Aurora discovered she was a Senshi at the same time Dawn did. They both witnessed a monster attacking a fellow student on their way home.  The two were terrified and wanted to run, but they stood still in fear until they heard a voice in their minds.  Two rings, each with a gem with a different symbol that glowed from the inside, fell from the sky and landed in front of their feet. The voice instructed them to take the rings and transform.  Aurora had no idea what the voice meant or who it was, but she suddenly felt calm and focused. She reached down, without hesitation, to grab the pen. Then reaching above her, she shouted as if she had always known the phrase,  "Alnitak Power, Make Up!"  




Senshi Name:  Sailor Alnitak, Belt of Storms

Senshi Fuku:  Full body leotard, basic Senshi pleated skirt and sailor collar on top; the brooches are crystalline star shaped and the front and back bows are transparent; knee high boots with stripe around the ankle in the main color of the uniform; capes running down to just above the knees; tiara straight across the forehead with a star in the center; choker same color as uniform with a star gem adorning the choker (Colors are a bit in the works, but will most likely be topaz yellow, gray, purple...something with that color scheme)

Henshin/Transformation: Alnitak Power, Make up!

Powers: Essence of Plasma; Storms;
Attacks:
Alnitak Plasma Whip (Type - Defensive/Support)

• Energy Requirement - Average
  
• Accuracy - 80%
  
• Appearance - uses her Alnitak Lasso, to whip around and capture an enemy. The plasma burns the enemie and subdues them in order for another Soldier to make an attack.
  
• Effects - Burns, paralyzes
  
• Weakness - Sometimes misses completely or enemy is quick enough to grab the lasso and use it against her
  
  Alnitak Plasma Tornado (Type - Offensive)
  This attack is learned after she discovers her rainbow crystal.
  
  
  
  • Energy Requirement - High
    
  • Accuracy - 95%
    
  • Appearance - A whipping brightly colored tornado created from plasma energy that Alnitak calls down from the skies. It hurls into the enemy, trapping them in its whirling strength while scorching and inflicting damage from the plasma energy.
    
  • Effects - Scorches;
    
  • Weakness - If it misses its target, Alnitak has a harder time controlling it and the tornado has a chance to cause extreme damage to their surroundings
    
  
  
  
  Weapons or Magical Items: Weapon: Alnitak Lasso, a lasso made up of pure plasma energy. It glows a variety of colors from yellow to red and is scorching hot to the touch, at least for the enemies. Combines with Alnilam's weapon for a super combo attack.
  
  Mission: Defend people from the enemy and find the Princess.
  
  Guardian: Sirius the crow.
  
  RP Sample: Alnitak slid backwards, spinning and falling on her knees to steady herself. The guardian gritted her teeth as she felt her knees get scrapped apart, the cement and friction not playing nice with her skin. She whipped her head up and fowards to glare towards the enemy. That was a close one. She had barely dodged that attack.  Alnitak glanced around for her twin, where was Alnilam? There was dust and smoke in the air from the energy blast. This demon was strong. Alnitak took a quick second to glance behind her. There was a gaping hole in the building behind her.
  
  "Damnit! They're going to destroy the town at this rate!"  Alnitak gripped her lasso, glowing bright yellow with plasma energy, "I'm going to whip this mother effer up!".
  
  In battle, Alnitak didn't really care about what language she used. Normally, she wouldn't speak so dirtily, but she was a soldier and guardian to the Princess and people. The Soldier of Storms was ready to protect the innocent. Gripping her lasso, she raised her hand into the air, energy flowing around her, whipping her brown hair about her face.
  
  "Alnitak Plasma Whip!"
  
  She wasn't going to miss this time.

(I wanted to put this here as it is in progress, also I'd like to hear from Saturn since she is picking up the older sister, would like some help on the family's background, last name...etc. Can't decide on a date of birth cause i don't know what her personality is like and i think if i pick an astrological sign it'd be nice to have some personality before i totally use a signs "supposed" personality. Am thinking of basing some of personality and quirks off of me, but not completely. *cough*

Also, Kyra, where did you find a sign for your senshi? Did you make one up?

Can I also get some feedback on my physical description and hobbies? *worries she is either too description, not doing it write, or not descriptive enough. u.u)

!! I really liked your description, actually. I think it was pretty perfect - you even mentioned the smaller details that most people don't - such as cup size XD - and it really makes it stand out. And the hobbies sound fun, too - I can see her as more of the girl who would make presents over buying them.

Quick note: To kill the auto-formatting in Word that copies over into the post fields, try coping everything you write and pasting it into notepad, then copy it all again and paste it into the post form; it'll make everything line up with the board specifications instead of jumping around. A useful tool for coping everything is holding ctrl and pressing a (ctrl+a); it grabs the whole lot. Then ctrl+c and ctrl+v into notepad, and repeat. ^^


I got Brenna's personality/astrological sign from googling what I found astrologically about the star - that the star is intemperate and fearless. I just googled 'intemperate and fearless personality' and the first link was those exact words in a book on Amazon below this guy's Aries description from a billion years ago. ... well, not a billion, but you get the point. I didn't provide for Alnitak's quick description because I knew you were making yours from scratch, but searching it now... oh geez, it's not flattering x_x

Belt Stars wrote:

Mintaka, Alnilam and Alnitak are the three 2nd magnitude stars situated on the 'belt' or 'girdle' of Orion. Mintaka, from Al Mintakah, 'The Belt', is the most western and therefore the first to rise. It is associated with good Fortune and a keen intellect. According to Lilly, this pale violet star sharpens the understanding, memory, and makes men industrious. [11]

Alnilam, the centre star of the three, is a bright white star connected with gluttony, gains from inheritance and fleeting public honours. Its name comes from Al Nathan, 'The String of Pearls' from the bullions set in Orion's Belt. Lilly notes that when the ascendant is directed to this star:

Lily wrote:

It produceth utility from the Dead, or a considerable portion from the means of an Inheritence; gaine by joviall persons; it imports the Native to be grave and severe, yet entangled in the snares of Love, with alteration of the temperature of Body by his excesse in Gluttony.

x_x yeah, the only thing this could be used for would be to say that the twins were cool with the vast fortune their mother and father created for them. The article didn't mention 'Tak at all, just 'Lam.


OOH BUT I FOUND A MUCH BETTER ONE!!

Another Site! wrote:

It is said to give a strong and dignified nature, self-confidence, inconstancy, arrogance, violence, impiety, and prosperity in trade and particularly in voyages or abroad, but danger of treachery and poison. It was thought by the Romans to be very harmful to cattle and productive of storms. By the Kabalists it is associated with the Hebrew letter Aleph and the 1st Tarot Trump "The Juggler". (The Magician). (Robson).

General influence of the star: Strength, energy, industry, organizing abilities, notoriety, good fortune, lasting happiness, a sharp mind and a good memory. (Robson).

General influence of the Cingula Orionis (Orion's Belt): The joint influence is to give strength, energy, industry, organizing abilities, notoriety, good fortune, lasting happiness, a sharp mind and a good memory. (Robson).

"Passionately devoted to hunting, but not noble hunting with falcon or bow". Excellent fishermen. Treacherous. All kinds of dangers. Irreligious. In a female chart - if rising and aspected by both Mars and a benefic - a shrew. (Noonan).

Well, some of those things are really negative, but if you wanted to include them you could lessen their super impact and twist it towards growing up rich and privileged. I just jumped for "woohoo!" at the mention of being industrious, as you already had her kinda crafty. Mintaka was known for the last three qualities - the good fortune, lasting happiness and the sharp mind, but as sisters I think that the quick wittedness could run in the family if you chose ^.~

And, to me, the 'productive of storms' could indicate a quality of her powers; her name means "the belt," but something like "Alnitak Belt of Storms!" sounds more like a dark region on Jupiter to me XD ((then again... i'm astronomy stuff...)) Maybe use belt to mean something like a lasso?
And if she's storms, like with lightning and rain and wind or whatever, she could just produce a miniature one and use her lasso to capture the enemy and shoot them into it? Since Alnilam is 'pearls,' she could add hail to the storm or something?



XD Just ideas

Yay Kyra saves the day!! Lol...that is some good stuff for me to go off of. Because I had no idea what powers I should base Alnitak's off of. Cause I was thinking she could use the essence of "Auroras" (lol), and have like plasma type attacks, but i also wanted it to fit with her star too. I could maybe mix that into storms or something. I was thinking the twins attacks should be able to combine with each other so its hard creating since it seems no one wants her and I don't want to just create her for someone to come down the road and then say they want to play her and feel all intimidated by our ideas or whatever. XD

I'm gunna try to work on a little bit more tonight after work, can't stay up too late though. D:

Also can I add that I'm really self conscious about way I write? I feel like everything I write, the sentence starts with "She has" "She did this" "He is going", etc. Like its either a pronoun or the characters name...So i try to add in variety but its hard for me to break that mold so any advice on that would be helpful.

x_x this used to be such an issue with me, too, but I've noticed that writers who don't use such simple phrases and keep completely away from them end up with writing that's almost pretentious or flowery - just so far away from real life because that is how we talk, it is pretty much exactly how people describe things.

Something I learned from creative writing classes is that using the forms of 'be' (be being been has have had is was were etc.) actually makes the reader take a step back - it's called something like 'passive writiing' or somesuch. I haven't seen you run into it at all! But in case it does happen, what you're supposed to do is go back and skip over all 'is' and 'was', changing the verbs following to their present tense. ... I can't think up a good example at the moment xD

But, if you wanted to go back and change the description so there weren't so many 'be' verbs, I would suggest replacing them with action verbs - it can also lend itself to the general feeling of the character based on phrasing. For example:

Could be: "Standing at 5'4" with a lean, but not skinny, frame, Aurora's slightly muscular physique lacks defining curves. Her waist is straight, like a male's, with the only real development being recent and in the slight curve of her hips."


XD As for wanting a partner in crime (/partner in senshi...) I actually would like to make Alnilam, but I'm waiting to see if anyone else wants her, as I already have two characters. u_u; I couldn't help but make Saiph - I kept seeing the red-haired girl from Modoka and was like "SOMETHING LIKE THAT YESSS" and it just happened. ._.


!! Oh! But as far as involving plasmas in her attack, if you wanted to go with the lasso or whip into a storm idea, the lasso or whip could be made of pure plasma in multicolor, thus appearing as though she's grabbing a monster using the northern lights. ^^

Or you could skip the storm thing and just use the plasma lasso. o_o 'cause wrapping an enemy in plasma to hold them still would not only look awesome, but would be such a cool supportive attack.

Maybe the lasso could be an early attack and as they gain and learn new powers, she learns the power of storms?

Oh, I like that! Like after her rainbow crystal emerges she can whip that sucker into a fierce storm XD And Alnilam would be like "YEAH! Now eat hail, biznitch!" and that could be their combo attack? ... Maybe we could make her pearl-hail explode with her upgrade. ... maybe Kyralih should stop planning Alnilam.

You could always keep giving me ideas like this and I can incorporate them into my profiles. Discussion of this always gets the juices flowing. XD

^_^ sweet.

Added some more to her bio. I'm not sure if I got the idea of what effects of the attacks very well...

Also if you can think of more creative attack names, please let me know. T_T

!!! I love the attack name, actually!! I can actually hear it in my head -

"ALNITAAK PLAASSSMAAAA WHIIIP!"

tee.

Awesome. Awesome awesome awesome. XD

Feel free to change this to the new universal character application. The change may or may not help you out. ^^

http://www.thegalaxycauldronforums.com/t1280-character-profile-submissions-information

Ok! Awesome, I think i now have everything done for the profile besides describing her fuku. I just need to reorganize my descriptive paragraphs. ^_^

This is turning out really well, Brit-chan! It was very enjoyable to read. Do you still need to hammer out a few more things, or are you good to go aside from just rewording?

I think I'm just working on the fuku a bit, gotta write out the description since we can't just post pictures. u.u

*huggles* Well, I also PMed Chimia-chan with details on my absence and what my happen from here out.

Ok, here is the updated profile. I basically mixed the Advanced profile and new Universal profile a bit since i had filled out some things already.

Also, the awakening story maaay change a bit and the fuku is a bit up in the air as me and Hitomi are working on things since we are twins and stuff. ^_^

and yay my RP sample was 200 words!

Bump...

I know Sailor Pluto has limited access to the forums, as of now, so feel free to bug Sailor Uranus or Sailor Saturn for a profile review. I'd start one now, but then someone else would have to finish it, which often leads to too much confusion.

Ill check it out a little later today! <3. Unless Pluto jumps on and wants to take it XD

I'm just ready to RP. xD

!! I loved your RP sample!!!
[quote=] "I'm going to whip this mother effer up!".[/quote] = fav xD

Yay and as noted, still hammering a few more details with Hitomi...but they are really minor at this point.
