In Character Information
Name: Zoe Pontil.
Series: Original character, from a book draft called The Lehr.
Canon Standing: After reuniting with Agni after the destruction of her home city.
Age: "lol what's age tho" / 20 something?? / BLUH
Birthday & Astrology Sign: November 1st, Scorpio.
Arcana: Emperor.

Personality:
A bitch.

There's more than that, of course, but in general attitude, motivation, and in mindset - Zoe is a cruel person. She despises other people for their weaknesses as much as she takes delight in exploiting them, and freely acknowledges her own pettiness - she nearly glorifies it. Because Zoe Pontil made a promise to herself, a long time ago - that yes, she was a very flawed human being, but as long as she was honest to herself about those flaws and what influence they were having on her actions, she would still act in accordance to them.

So she's a bitch who knows she's a bitch and likes being a bitch.

This isn't to say she's impossible to interact with, but it's important to understand that her motivations lay entirely in line with her own whims, rather than in accordance with empathy. She understands others in line with her own experiences, and how she would judge herself - b
(This should describe how your character interacts with others and how he or she feels about certain things and situations. This takes a look into the heart and soul of your character, and it will help us understand him/her. Try and flesh this character out as much as you can to show that you really understand them. A good way to divide this section up would be: usual moods, interaction with others, and interactions with friends.)

Backstory:
Once upon a time, there was a love story.
The king of a wintery land enchanted the interest of an otherworldly glassmaker, who swore to the king that he would deliver him eternity, if only for the price of exposing the souls of his people. The king agreed.

Canon Powers:
Zip, zilch, nada!

Canon Weapons|Items:
None.

Canon Allies:
Agni None, considering Agni is her Persona now!

Canon Baggage:
Two (2) golden, unmarked coins the size of dinner plates. These are actually souls made physically incarnate. One is the soul of a hermit named Einarr, and the other of a king whose name has been struck from history.

and

FUCK YES SOUL-POWERED SLED (picture not entirely accurate but the closest approximation I could find)
Basically a steampunk abomination with an over-sized coin slot, what Zoe stalwartly calls a 'mechanical sled' is a complex contraption that is somehow able to harness the latent power in souls to achieve locomotion. The aforementioned coin slot is where you insert soul to receive transport, so only souls physically bound to the shape of a coin work to power it.

Seeing as it's a freakin' SLED, though, she won't be getting much use out of it unless it snows apocalyptically.

(List approximately what the character will be bringing with them. You are allowed one large item that is iconicly associated with them (so pilots could bring their robot, batman could bring his car). Mods have the final say on what you bring, but for the most part we will be alright. Just keep in mind you are living in a 1 1/2 apartment. Without parking.)

1st Person | Action Example
[The video opens up with a clear shot of a stellar example of the grand machines of Sagittarius, hard at work performing some vital task to keep Hinoto-ri's commercial lifeblood flowing from its clockwork heart. The person filming this can't be seen - this must be a first-person camera view. What can be seen is a too-spidery hand rising up to hover ten dangerously close inches from the working machinery. There's at least one distinctive little gouge-scar on that hand, between the thumb and pointer.. well, whoever this is, they now wouldn't be too hard to identify if you saw them in person. 

...What are they doing? Thinking of reaching in, like the proverbial kid sticking a fork in a light socket?]


How many people are poured into keeping this alive...? Whose wishes were devoured in the course of its conception?
Hinoto-ri... who all have you threaded yourself together from, to even form this patchwork place?

[A grown woman's voice. She stops the recording a few seconds later, apparently having nothing else left to wonder aloud about.]


3rd Person | Prose Example
(Give us an example of your character's post here in third person, prose style (not action brackets like above! Make it about their new life in Hinoto-Ri and how they are cooping with it.)

Ducking through city crowds often took precision akin to threading a needle with a weathered string, and she simply wasn't up for it today. Zoe lounges on an overpass bench, as its underpass twin bustles nauseatingly. Sure, she's stranded as long as high traffic hour goes on. But it isn't an unhappy fate, to wait in this warm sun.

That's the part that bothers her most. At least the fell chill was being honest to you. The generosity of heat simply bred false security - as almost everyone carried a hidden bite to them in Hinoto-Ri. It wasn't even something as straightforward as a knife kept slyly stowed on ones' personage; the knife was in the mind, in eager steel oozing between the folds of a brain. The "Persona."
