Application for Valentina Ostell

Post by Glimmer » January 19th, 2023, 4:35 pm

What will your character’s name be?

Valentina Ostell

Please briefly describe the physical attributes of your character, including age, looks, height, weight, and any notable features:

This woman is roughly in her twenties. She is shorter than average with a lean and athletic build and an odd grace about her. Gray eyes sparkle mischievously from a face framed by layers of unruly curls. Her expressions are animated and she’s easily excitable, she does not seem very deliberate in her actions and comes across quite impulsive. She gives the impression of being very much a girly girl, but also apparently fails miserably at remaining well kept.

Briefly state your character’s intentions or motivations for entering the First Province:

She heard rumors of her brother having gone there, and with her parents now dead, she figured why not surprise him.

Briefly provide a pertinent detail or notable quality of your character’s history (this does not have to be exhaustive nor revealing of any information you wish to keep secret):

Born in the foothills of the Godspine in poverty Valentina is practically the opposite of her brutal brother but there is a similarity shared in some respects. An unexpected child born to parents who assumed they were too old to still have the ability to conceive, she remained nameless for a large part of her early years which she assumed was due to laziness. Eventually her shenanigans granted her the name after many swift elbows from her mother towards her father caused him to quickly tack on “...a. Valentina” while scolding her. Her brother was hardly around anyway and no one else seemed to care. Left mostly to her own devices she accumulated many random assortments of skills to survive the world around her, and to have some fun while doing so.


Briefly write an in-character response to the following scenario:


When she arrived, she made sure to linger and observe how exactly this whole situation worked. She watched as people begged, bartered and bribed the officiants. Ultimately there didn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason beyond the whims of whoever was on duty as some were more easily swayed by one vice over the other. She considered the many options available to her and which would be the easiest to manage. When she saw the rotation change to one where the officiant was someone she witnessed to be easily flustered with trigger happy companions, she saw her opportunity. Sneaking closer, and remaining as unobtrusive as possible, managed a well thrown insult in the air between two men. With neither knowing who uttered it they broke out into a brawl and all eyes focused on the scuffle, the guards especially eager to rough up some unruly civilians. Once all attention was drawn to this event, Valentina slipped easily into the family who had just been approved, and blended into their number. Maybe she would apologize to those men, if they made it out alive. Or… maybe not.
