LARP
1. Pick one of my characters, any one.
2. I will tell you the origin of his/her/its name.
3. I will tell you three random facts surrounding his/her/its creation.
4. I will give you one random fact of his/her/its backstory.
5. I will give you one more random fact about him/her/it.
6. You may ask me up to three further questions about the character.
7. Do not take the piss: no betrayal of plot-tastic information on LJ! None!
I like this Meme. It's about LARP, or at least RP

1. OK, Skyanelle it is.
2. I wanted something weird, sort of hebrew-angelic sounding crossed with lotr-elven, and when trying to think up a suitable first half I was chatting to someone on msn called Skyler...
3.a. When I was first coming up with ideas for a new character, I wanted to play something significantly different to Alanna. Skyanelle was originally going to be a shiny (but half-fae, and therefore angsty) paladin-style hero. Heh. I think I ultimately made the right choice.
3.b. I had absolutely no idea how the kit was going to end up until about an hour before the session where she turned up. All I knew was that I had a pretty purple dress, and the afternoon free to visit various craft shops in town in order to purchase 'weird stuff'(tm). Somehow, for some strange and ungodly reason, the gems just...kinda...worked.
3.c. I wanted her to be the absolute benchmark of idle uselessness. When I started playing her, she had one hit, no armour, one resist, no (usable) weapon skills (I didn't have a crossbow), and level 1 arcane magic (of the old variety - hence mend, rune glyph, detect magic, resist and something I can't remember because I probably never used it). I had wanted to try and take something like magic lore or languages as well, but rhys insisted I have some sort of combat ability, hence the crossbow =)
4. Her mummy and daddy loved each other very much, but they couldn't have babies. Mummy was getting desperate so she went and made a bargain with someone who was entirely beyond good and evil. This might have been a bad idea, in retrospect. But it meant that they could have three lovely little girls. Yay, mummy was so happy. But in her happiness she completely forgot about what the beyond good and evil thing said. And then Skyanelle happened. Ahh, what a happy fairytale that was.
5. IT'S ALL NATHAN'S FAULT!!! BUT RHYS WAS HIS ACCOMPLICE...OH YES HE WAS...BASTARD
6.a. Evil? Evil! Surely my dear, Skyanelle is a perfect example of someone who is entirely beyond good and evil. And by that, I mean: rotten to the core. However, she wasn't overtly *nasty* originally. That came in time, after she was assaulted by the watch, forced to leave her home and stay in some crappy wayhouse by some bastard spirit, her entire life fell apart around her, she found out that she was the spawn of some weird gem-thing that wanted her to bear his children (who was then slaughtered in front of her eyes by her once-friends), her baby was taken away by a (possibly) well-meaning ex, and she was cursed by a witch who wrongly accused her of doing something very bad. Then there's the *other* thing, which is absolutely hysterical, but we won't go into that one.
She just kind of slid until one day I realised that she was really, really quite mad and ever so deliciously full of hate. It just kind of slipped on, like a nice warm glove. Poor thing.
6.b. Well, they looked like gems. And were probably rather uncomfortable, since they kept growing through the skin and shedding (and yes, they did go *all* the way down. Ouch). This brought the amusing image of poor Jazek finding his room full of shedded gems, and him wandering around picking them up again, with a humorous 'ick' expression on his face.
6.c. Caephra?!?! That bastard got her into half of the mess she was in. And Vincent...don't get me started!
