Part II: Character Information
Character Position: Sailor Proserpina
Character Name: Amara Luca
Name Meaning: Amara- meaning: Eternal; ethnicity: Greek Luca-
meaning: Bringer of Light; ethnicity: Italian
Vessy: *Cringes* More painful flashbacks to the
sailormoon dub. Okay seriously did I take some bad acid or something! TWO
Amara's!!! ITS A CONSPIRACY!!!
Her name together means Eternal bringer of Light which- in my opinion –
relates to spring because spring is when the sun really starts to come out again
and everything begins to flourish.
Birthdate and Age / Zodiacal Sign: April 7; Age: 18; Zodiac Sign: Aries
~Aries Info, and it qualities shown in Amara: People under the sign
of Aries tend to be more assertive and energetic. They have very little
patience and always have to have something to do. This is true with
Amara.
~Amara’s numerology:
--If your Life-Path number is five, a love
of sensation and adventure will likely be prominent for you. Five’s are
very social and enjoy fun-loving light-hearted company as opposed to serious
philosophical conversation. The average five is not too worried about
tomorrow but is generally happy go lucky. However, while laughter may be
the drug of choice, many five’s spend time searching for the answers to life's
questions.
--Those with a five Life-Path are usually very versatile and
progressive. Freedom and independence are of the utmost importance.
As a five, you will want to go about life completely unrestrained and will abhor
routine. Your need for stimuli and adventure won't tolerate repetitive and
'boring' work. Key qualities for a five Life-Path number are social,
expansiveness, visionary, adventure, the constructive use of freedom.
--It is common for five’s to be multi-talented. However, it is just
as common for there to be confusion over your direction and ambition.
There may be a need for some strict planning on the five’s part to allow for the
expression of themselves. You'll have no trouble motivating others as an
excellent communicator, however meeting deadlines will not be a strong suit for
you as a five. This would be too restraining.
--A mental or physical manifestation of adventure is inevitable for a
five. The prospect of exploration and boldly going where no one has gone
before will thrill you and resisting will be almost impossible. Scheduling
adventures such as travel and rock climbing trips may be just the solution to
striking balance for a five when it comes to the humdrum of day-to-day life and
routine.
--The life purpose for a five is to experience as much as life has to
give. Living life to the fullest and with as much sensation you can
discover may be all that you need to do - with a few exceptions.
--It can be challenging for some five’s to take responsibility for finances
and the home. Work must be stimulating to produce results. If you
become too self-focused, indulgence and a seemingly apathetic attitude towards
others may emerge. Becoming self-serving and undependable can also
occur. Balance is the key for a five. Planning adventures for the
soul while keeping responsibilities in mind will bring the most contentment.
Physical Details:
~Appearance: Amara is a girl of average height being 5’6” tall; she is thin
and well toned at 117lbs. She isn’t muscular just toned enough to not be
flabby. Her skin colour is a peachy complection and is very fair.
She never goes tanning so she looks pale most of the year round which allows her
hair and eyes to kind of pop out. Her hair color is naturally a deep
brunette but she has it dyed a bright burgundy and lays straight at her mid
back; however, she always wears it up in a ponytail with her bangs hanging down
to the sides of her face. Her eyes are of a greenish colour with flecks of
hazel in them and are almond shaped and of a medium size. Her nose is a
bit small, coming down in an even slope and pointing out just a bit. Her
face is like an upside down teardrop, having a wide forehead and pointed
chin. Her bust is average being 26B and she has a soft form with minimal
curves. She has an obsession over posture so she is always standing
straight.
~Clothing: Her normal ensemble is a bit odd by most standers. On a
regular day she has on black bondage pants with bubblegum pink straps and
stitching, her shirt is a bubblegum pink colored beater that shows a little
midriff. Her accessories include black armbands that go from her wrist to
her elbow, a ball necklace, a cross necklace (V- What kind of cross? There are
many different types), and six hoop earrings in each ear and a silver stud in
her nose (left nostril). Her hair scrunchy is black and her shoes are
black platforms with pink accents. She also wears her class ring, which
has her birthstone (the diamond) in the center, with her school name (Romulous
Public High) around the stone. The sides feature the symbols for band and
the year she graduates (1996). And lastly she has a little black purse in
which she keeps a small notebook, pens, keys, gum, candy, her cell phone (for
emergencies) and her henshin item.
Vessy: Not bad. and interesting choice of appearance
for our senshi of spring and certainly a change from our conservative
bunch.
Bloodtype: B-
Gemstone: Yuksporite – it’s a rare gem found in the Kola Peninsula of
Russia, it is of a yellow-rose color. Amara likes this gem because not
many people know about it and it is in one of her favorite colors.
Likes:
~She likes Music because it is an emotional outlet, her favorite genres
being American and European Heavy Metal from the 1980s, and American Rock.
She was exposed to these genres when she was in her early teens. Her
friend Vevinna’s older brother was into underground trading and Vevinna would
often bring the albums over to her house so they could listen to them.
Vessy: Maybe a bit of Italian underground would make a
good mix with these most ethnocentric bands. There's a rather thriving
underground Italian music movement.
~She loves her job because she is around people she likes and it’s a fun
way to learn about underground bands (will explain job in history
section).
~She likes rain because it’s fun to walk in.
~She also likes living away from home because she can show that she’s
making it without her father’s help. Her father used to baby her a lot and
would somewhat spoil her. She grew to dislike it and loves showing him
that she is capable of making it on her own.
Vessy: Good start perhaps a few more with a bit of
variety would be a good touch. Maybe look into Prosperinas mythological history
a bit more a draw sources from there.
Dislikes:
~She dislikes people who don’t have good hygiene because, well, who does
like people with bad hygiene?
~She dislikes people who are narrow-minded and arrogant because of their
attitudes. She believes that all people are wonderful in their own way and
wishes that people wouldn’t down others so often for their differences.
~She dislikes severe weather because she fears it. She doesn’t really
fear it for any particular reason – it’s just been a fear of hers since she was
young
~She dislikes being coddled and/or worried about. She believes that
she can make it on her own and doesn’t need others to worry about her.
Vessy: A lot more variety could really be the spice of
life. Look into the mythology for more ideas... several more with a little more
debth is always nice as well.
Hobbies: Amara’s hobbies include: driving around town, taking long walks
through the rain, working, staying after school, exercising, watching
television, going to pubs with her friends, seeing films, collecting dolls, and
shopping.
Vessy: er... some of these seem not so much hobbies as
stuff she does on a regular basis. Choose a couple. Look into the mythology for
more and really put some detail into the individual hobbies.
Personality: Amara is a very energetic person, which is good because she
has so many things to do all of the time. She is very confident of herself
and doesn’t let what others say bother her, she knows who she is in life.
She is Courageous and Adventurous always trying new things and going to new
places. She is also very optimistic and enthusiastic always pushing others
to try their best and to not give up. She is very intellectual and loves
school. She is also a hard worker; however not all of her qualities are
good qualities. She is loud and sometimes a bit too foolish. She
tends to be somewhat rude and impatient and cannot stick to any long term
goals. She is very impulsive and tends to offend to easily which drives
her to become defensive or seek revenge often in a verbal way.
Vessy: Eeh... HECK of alot shorter than we normally
would like. Its an excellent start and sure gives us an insight into her
character but each of those traits listed in there could do with a good couple
of sentances each. MORE MORE MORE! (as the russian whore said X3) Overall good
start but really could do with a bushel of more detail into the individual
traits maybe even give examples. How does she act around friends? Family? Guys?
Why does she enjoy school so much? What types of new things does she like?
X-treme new things or things more along the tame lines of sushi or new routes to
school? Try and make it at least as long as your history here.
History: Amara was born at the St. Tarcisius Hospital at 2:29AM on April 7
(the day that marked the end of daylight savings time for that year). She
was a cute baby being 6lbs 9ounces and having a length of nineteen inches.
She had sparkling blue baby eyes that would soon change to their present
colour. For a moment, she was tranquil but soon her life would start to
become a blur of adventure and misadventure. She was a smart and energetic
baby always smiling and laughing. She especially loved exploring new
things on her own. Unfortunately for Amara, when she was the age of two,
after an argument with her father her mother left them in the middle of the
night never to return; however, this didn’t really phase the toddler. She
grew up in a loving household with her father and the occasional female
visitor. She loved her dad and he loved her and that was all that
mattered. However, her father did have his ways of over-doing it and he
often spoiled her and spent too much time with her. Then Amara hit school
age so she packed her backpack and hopped on the bus to go to Romulous Public
Elementary. From the start she loved school it allowed her to learn so
many new things at such a quick pace – the only problem was that there were too
many other kids, and she didn’t like most of them, that is, until she met her
best friend Vevina Costola. Vevina’s family was Spanish but Vevina herself
was born and raised in Rome, and she was in the same class as Amara. Amara
and Vevinna soon became the best of friends and would stay that way through each
school transition and every year that they didn’t even have classes
together. Elementary school went by like a blur and Amara did exceptional
work in most of her classes. She already knew that she loved English (V-
err... English? As in a second language course? Or as in Humanities, learning
the mechanics and spelling and stuff... ) class but hated Science class, and
that she was good in math but found it boring. The transition to Romulous
Public Jr. High was easy but she did find the classes a bit more
difficult. She loved her English still and found a new love for
literature, she joined the band and played percussion, and even did drama for a
year. She tried almost every elective course that the school offered but
still found Literature as her favorite, math to be boring, and Science to be
dreadful. Band was also considered a new love, this is where she met Chad
DeMahno, a fellow percussionist (V- Fellow percussionist? MENTION THESE
THINGS!), he had an Italian father and an English mother. Chad and Amara
hung out a lot and became close friends, Chad and Amara now share an
apartment. Finally, it was time for Amara to begin her scholastic career
at Romulous Public High. She enjoyed taking speech classes and English
classes and stayed in band but mostly enjoyed the new freedoms that came with
being in high school. When she was sixteen, she got a job at the Music
RePlay shop in the downtown district. The store is a rock-based shop that
sold used cds, band tee shirts, and other sorts of music stuff. She’s been
working there for two straight years and has recently been promoted to floor
manager. When she was seventeen, she had to train who is now her favorite
co-worker and a close friend, Anthony Reniera. Also when she was seventeen
she moved out of her dad’s house and into an apartment with Chad, contrary to
popular belief they are not dating, they’re just good friends who can afford an
apartment together. She is soon going to graduate from Romulous Public
High and hopes to go onto JCU to study the arts and English literature.
She just had her awakening within the past month and it really hasn’t changed
her as a person, she just feels that she does truly have a purpose and that
being a senshi is a big secret which she must keep from everyone at any coast.
V- Overall good. At this state in time we're gonna say
she's not awakened. Its just easier. Maybe add some of the stuff you mentioned
in history into personality and Likes/Dislikes. Her mom leaving is a bit of a
sob story. Maybe build on that, how her dad reacted and what not. Why she liked
certain courses etc. MORE!

telling jokes, he is very much a livewire and has a very big sense of
humor. Anthony is a closet bisexual. He has shoulder length bleach
blonde hair and mint green eyes. He is 5’10” and is well toned.

co-worker. Anthony often wears baggy blue jeans and a black motorhead

band). He wears a ball necklace for accessory.
Part III: Senshi Information
Special Skills: Amara is good at writing and reading Literature, and
playing drums. She also has a knack for fixing electronics. She is also
good with gardening.
Vessy: erm... Senshi related skills... her power is
Spring... not electronica...
Henshin Item: Amara’s henshin item is of a rich golden yellow color,
incased in a chromatic silver(which matches her breast plate on her fuku)with
her symbol in the middle in a white colour. She carries it in her purse.
Transformation: "Proserpina Deus Power Make-Up!” Amara says her
henshin phrase is a determined manor, then is entangled in flower buds, when
they bloom the emit light and then reveal her fuku, then her staff comes from a
twisted vine of rose buds and her final pose is down on one knee holding out her
staff with both hands in a horizontal position.
Color: A rich golden yellow (think of the crayola crayon goldenrod)
Symbol:
(means spring and is 38:7 on the symbol.com website – it is also
related to the symbol for Aries which is her Zodiac sign)
Fuku/Costume: Her fuku start out with the symbol on her head, which will be
in gold. The choker, collar, and skirt are of a rich golden yellow.
The choker has a charm of her symbol incased in a teardrop shaped Yuksporite
gem. The breast plate and shoulder plate are of a chromatic silver and are
held by her henshin broach which is chromatic silver and rich golden yellow with
her symbol in it (if I can put her symbol in it o.o;). The skirt flaps and
armbands are of white leather and the armbands have golden tassels hanging from
the top of the (the part touching her elbow). Her boots are also made of
white leather and they are ankle length and have golden tassels hanging from
them as well.
Powers/Attacks: Her attack is called Spring’s Wrath. What happens is
she yells out the attack name and the gem on her staff lights up, she lifts the
staff, twirls it, and points it at the opponent shooting of a borage of yellow
roses and energy. It is a medium powered attack, able to stop an opponent
for a moment or so and can be performed multiple times. The attack is able
to be dodged, but cannot be reversed.
Weapons: Her Weapon is a staff. It is made from medium toned oak wood
and holds a circular Yuksporite orb at the top. It is covered in a budding
vine that has yellow roses popping out in different places. It is narrow
and the only ‘branches’ on it are what incases the orb.
Guardian: None
Part IV: Miscellaneous Information
Why you: My friend who is also applying showed me your site and I fell in
love. I’ve been looking for a good senshi based rpg for a while now and I
think I’ve found it. I’ve had about five years experience at being a
player in role-play groups ranging from senshi based to digimon based to
mythological based. I hope my character is what you want Proserpina to be
and I hope to hear my results soon (if it’s possible) ‘cause like Amara I am a
very anxious person.
Miscellaneous: Uhm, not really – except if you ever need to talk to me
about my character or just in general. I have two AIM names.
Metallica Grrl86, and Bry Zee86.
Part V: The Writing Sample
Amara was speeding like a mad man, she was running late for work
again. She grumbled and turned up the radio as she began yelling at other
drivers on the road. She hit 70 and swerved around all of the people
yelling and flicking off anyone who dared not to move out of her way.
‘Damn that Chad, if he hadn’t stopped me to talk about that stupid party
tomorrow night I would be there already,’ she thought to herself whilst drumming
on the steering wheel waiting for the person in front of her to move. She
couldn’t go around them because there were to many people coming from the other
side. She laid on her horn until the old woman moved her car.
Finally, she was at work. Tonight she was working with Anthony and he was
steamed that she wasn’t there on time.
“Where
the hell were you?! You’re forty-five minutes late, miss floor manager.”
Anthony said in a demanding and angry tone.
“I was
late ‘cause my room-mate had to talk to me about some dumb party, but hey why do
you care?” She replied in an aggravated fashion.
“I care
because he had like fifteen people here all trying o check out at once while you
were talking about the party.”
“Oh
well, can’t change it now, can we? Get over it.”
“Fine.”
“Good.”
And with that Amara slammed the door to the back room to set down her sweater
and her purse. She went to the store’s main stereo system in popped in one
of Diamond Head disks they had lying around. Amara then sighed and walked
back into the main room. Anthony was stocking new stuff so Amara decided
to change the front display.
“Who
should go in the window this month?” Amara asked Anthony.
“Uhh…
how about Motorhead… we havn’t done them in a long time.” He replied in a much
more normal tone.
“Good
idea” Amara cleared the Sweet Savage display from the front window and began to
stock the stuff back where they belong then she grabbed some Motorhead Shirts,
stickers, and a poster to hang in the front window. The shop was empty as
usual so it wasn’t long before Anthony began cracking jokes.
“Hey
Amara,” Anthony asked, “Why did the blonde read a carton of orange juice for
three hours?”
Amara
rolled her eyes and replied without emphasis, “I don’t know.”
“Because
it said Concentrate!” Anthony began laughing and Amara just rolled her eyes at
his immaturity again. “Helpless” came over the speakers and Amara sang it
to herself. It was by far her favorite Diamond Head song. Anthony
could over hear her.
“Wow…
you’re voice is pretty….,” He snickered,”…pretty bad!” He began to laugh
again and Amara just ignored him. She continued to fix the display and
after about two hours she had it completed.
The
store had about seven customers all night and then it was time to close.
Amara went into the back room and turned everything off, grabbed her stuff and
went home.
Once she got home she changed into her night clothes and watched a movie
with Chad. They talked about their days and the party that was coming
up. Amara didn’t make it through the movie, she ended up falling
asleep. Chad turned off the movie and covered her with a blanket, then
went to bed himself.
----------------------------------------
Vessy:
On the whole the app was okay. No MAJOR problems. But
the two halves really don't mesh. Her human side seems more partier/punkish and
I really am not getting any relevancy to spring at all... She seems very much
caught up in the material corporate world as oposed to anything nature related.
She's Very pretty and it is a good start but she needs quite a bit more in the
personality and empathy to her sphere to make her really stand out and say "Hey!
I'm the senshi of spring time!" Which is really what she should do. That is
often the way with Comics and anime. The personality of the character is so
obvious that its like "Hey! I'm the senshi of spring time! attack me!" But yet
they never do cus villians aren't the brightest bulbs in the bulb box. Now
personally I would see Proserpina as a TOTAL hippie. Burkinstocks and all.
Wandering the european country side in a volkswagon van :) Communing with
nature... well maybe not that much of an extreme but a real earth nut if ya know
what I mean? and while your character here is quite good and your writing style
is excellent I'm just not feeling the grass between my toes as the saying
goes.
I'm unfortunately going to have to say: Reject, Revise.
Either re-adapt this character or adapt her to another element Fama would be a
cynical kind of twist with the underground interests and the Fame aspects
>D
Vessy's Verdict = Reject,
Revise.
