CHARACTER QUESTIONS:

What will your character’s name be?

Thea Keiler


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

Thea is around twenty years of age, a slender young woman with large expressive eyes and a sharp nose. Her face is pleasant, though there is a slight sense that something is ‘off’ when one looks into her eyes. She is petite and unthreatening otherwise, with long dark hair and unblemished skin.


Please provide a few short paragraphs with pertinent details or notable qualities of your character’s history. This does not have to be exhaustive nor revealing of any information you wish to keep secret:

Around twenty years ago, in Greatport, Thea was born into an average family of average people content to remain where they were in life, without ambition or any lofty goals. Thea was not content to be average, not for one second of her life. Her childhood was not harsh, she and her five siblings did not suffer in any way - they were not a wealthy family, but life was relatively easy for the Keilers.

Thea and her siblings were tutored in all the normal subjects, and she excelled in anything academia, but it was not enough to fully keep the young woman’s attention. When she was barely out of childhood, she began seeking out other, more interesting subjects and practiced those subjects in secret until a terrible fire broke out overnight and stole the lives of her entire family.

Being the sole survivor, the blame was placed firmly upon Thea’s thin shoulders, and she was quickly taken by the Lumen Obumbratio and carted off to Redholme for intensive rehabilitation. The next two and a half years were spent languishing in her guilt and regret in Redholme until it was decided that she would be sent to the First Province for further repentance and service under the watchful eye of the Seraph.


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

Thea has been sent to the First Province to continue her repentance and service to Decus in whatever manner necessary.

Scenario Response:

The Rumbling Pass was aptly named, purely for the noise permeating the air as Thea took her place in the line with all the others awaiting the officiant’s decisions. She clutches her papers in one hand and anxiously scans the crowd, up on her tiptoes to try in vain to see the head of the line. The wait is almost impossible to bear for the young woman but eventually it is her turn to step up to the officiant and hold out the letter from the Church in Redholme. Thea offers a small smile to the man, lifting her chin a touch, “I am here by order of the Church, to aid and serve those in the First Province.” The words seem a bit practiced, but genuine, as she folds her hands and awaits the officiant’s decision.
