Instructions

Hello everyone! Today, we start the first phase of the quest "Examination on The Boundaries of Desire, as Written by Na Slegna Rotsopmi". This phase, as previously expressed in the search thread, will be the "character creation" phase. For those of you who are confused by this, basically we're gonna be making the main character of this quest, the POV character, together.
So, how do you vote? That's simple. Just write in the boxes above what you want to vote for, then select your favorite option in the buttons (more on those in a second) then copy paste the sheet that comes out of them and post it. The parameters that get most votes will become part of the official sheet (for example, if three people put they want a male, and only two people put they want a female, then the character will be male). Should there be any ties, I will be the tie breaker! <3
I promised to talk more about the buttons, so here I go. In the "character creation" phase, we will basically go through some events in the character's backstory. For each of those, you will be given various options for how the character goes about dealing with those events or what happens to them during that event. Depending on the option that gets the most votes, your character will acquire certain personality traits (which sometimes will be hidden). If you disagree with the how I define the traits or anything like that, you can try thinking of them as game stats, there is a function outside of just what they represent (though they are far, far from game stats).
Be careful though! Sometimes picking a certain option will cost you, literally! The player's will start with a collective total of 100 points, from which the cost of the choice is deducted. While this isn't the "Will" system yet, it is similar, so take this opportunity to get familiar with it! The border of the option will tell you at a glance which are cheaper or more expensive, but you can also click the options for the detailed info.
When your character finds their genie, it's likely their body will suffer some alterations, possibly to things set up here. Keep that in mind as you make your decision

Gender- Please vote "male" or "female". I'm sorry but I won't be able to handle it getting more confusing than that. You will have an opportunity for the character to climb out of gender roles though.

Zodiac- Not the chinese zodiac

Dominant Hand- Left or Right

Ethnicity- Just to clarify, this isn't your actual place of birth, just your appearance

For the specified characteristics, responses other than the specified will be rejected!

Thank you all for reading, and I hope you all have fun! This Thursday I will post the next backstory event, out of the eleven total ones, so you have until then to vote.​
[/div] [div class="Result Result2" style="display:none"]
Cost: 20 points​


The character was born to or taken in by someone living in the streets, in a prison or in the wilds. Basically outside of the "normal" resources we are used to, homeless, starving, can't be healthy for a young child, but hey they didn't exactly choose it. Your future choices will affect just how big an impact this had on the character and whether they managed to climb out of it.

Traits:
+Resourceful:Being able to stop the utility in very little, or make something out of unexpected/unideal resources
-Used To Homeless Life:Having difficulty adjusting to luxury or comfort, and maybe even feeling alienated or downright revolted by it [/div] [div class="Result Result3" style="display:none"]
Cost: Free​


The character was born to or taken in by a low-income family. This can range from "their house is falling apart" poor to "Santa doesn't come every year" poor.

Traits:
+Dedicated:The character is someone who will truly give blood, sweat and tears for their goals
-Envious:The character is prone to feeling jealous or envious. [/div] [div class="Result Result4" style="display:none"]
Cost: Free​


The character is born and raised in an average family. Nothing much to say beyond that.

Traits:
*"Normal":The character can easily relate to and understand the point of view of the average person, as they frame themselves within that normality
[/div] [div class="Result Result5" style="display:none"]
Cost: Free​


The character was born and raised in luxury and great wealth, and may even remain in that situation till today. Traits:
+Cultured:The character is refined tastes and has good manners, it's also likely that they are well-versed in a multicultural view of history. May come off as charming or smart even if you aren't necessarily either
-Spoiled:The character may be ill-equipped to dealing with situations where they lack the luxuries of great wealth [/div]

Just to clarify something about the "ethinicity" thing, that isn't the character's actual place of birth, just their appearance!

Then shouldn't that be race? Because as far as I know most white people from differing European countries look like they were all born in the same place
 
If you look at the definition of ethnicity,

Ethnicity: the fact or state of belonging to a social group that has a common national or cultural tradition.

That implies ethnicity would be the nationality of someone and since national identity falls under culture as well, it would be someone's nationality. So you were basically asking for the nationality of our character.

Either way, now that I brought up the definition, I am interested in this so I'll come up with something as well.

I can also say ethnicity can affect your appearance as well. I've seen enough Scotts and Irishmen who have brown hair on their head, but have a red beard if they grow it out. Myself included.
 
I just simply wanted to put the definition out there. Anyway I don't see any point in trying to debate it further, I'll just work on the CS,

Valid point there.
 
Also been a while JPax eh? Good to see you.

[div class="Result Result1"] Character Creation 2/8

A Tempting Offer


In the town of Manorflood, a certain couple met. He, a strange man without a last name, without a reason, but with goals and a vision that were clear as day. She, a wealthy girl on the run from the weight of her heritage. The way they bumped wasn't accidental either, but that's a story for another time. The man, who insisted to go by the name "King" (regardless of the bad looks that might earn him from the more patriotic folk) started hanging out with that woman, Leonor, after rescuing her from a group of thugs and her showing him around the city. Without going into too much detail beyond that, this couple would come to marry (taking Leonor's last name as their married name, seeing how King had none) and soon after, have a child, whom they named Hal. Hal Sophia.
The infant took much after their mother: He had blue eyes and black hair, and an almost milky skin that almost blent with Leonor's own "marble". As one might expect, the couple loved their child with all their heart, to the point where the normally rebellious King would go so far as to lick someone's boots (figuratively) to try to get his child to be able to experience the kind of life Leonor once had before she ran from home. To little avail, unfortunately, until one day soon after they moved into a new home, the doorbell rang while King was at work. Leonor was playing with the now 1 year old boy when she heard the doorbell ring and an elderly voice call for "Miss Sophia" from downstairs. Whoever it was, Leonor sighed and gently let little Hal with a large chew toy on the ground, and the black box she had just picked up on the nearby short table, while she went to answer the door.
"Hal, stay there, don't go anywhere, mommy will be right back." Was the last thing Leonor said before leaving. Hal was a smart child, and though he only quarter-understood what she said, maybe it would be enough, or so Leonor hoped.
To the toddler, the room was large, boundless, and so colorful! Even the matt he was sititng on was so comfortable, but of course, everything was more comfortable with mommy around. In fact, even though Hal liked it a lot, the sheer size of the crib next to him, towering upon him like a bloodthirsty giant was an almost frightening presence. Still, the rewards were all here as well. For instance, the open box full on toys, almost within reach but not quite.
As the moments passed, Hal.... [/div] [div class="Result Result2" style="display:none"] Cost:10 points

Being on my phone, I can't read any of the options very well, so ultimately it all boils down to a random choice here. But since I can at least see that options exist, I may as well try my best to put in a meaningful vote.
And when in doubt, it's always best to choose the third option, number 3, or C, whenever a little guesswork is needed. The third is usually the most interesting one, at least from my experience.

This vote is set in stone, and will not change. Ever.
