Bellona Marcellus

'

[edit] Details Personality Relationships Rumors Gallery OOC Notes GENERAL INFORMATION THIS SECTION IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION STILL. Born in Garlemald, she was orphaned as an infant when her mother, Viridia tol Glaucia was murdered by insurgents. The whereabouts of the girl's father were unknown as he had left long before she was born and her mother never spoke of him. She was instead brought up by adoptive parents all her life. Do to her having no memory of who her birth parents were, Bellona cares very little when it comes to knowing about them. Believing it to be a waste of time getting attached to a dead woman she'd never meet and a man who didn't care enough to stick around. As far as she was concerned, her adoptive parents were her real parents. Raised by Garlean nobility, Bellona lived a rather comfortable life with little troubles. . APPEARANCE About 4 fulm 11 in height, she has an average build for a young woman her age. Grey eyed and dark skinned with long raven black hair that falls passed her shoulders. She has jaguar-like rosette marks on her skin. The markings show on her cheeks, across her shoulders, and mid way down her back. The markings can also be faintly seen in her fur but one wouldn't be able to tell unless they were up close or she was in direct light. Aspects That Stand Out: ■ Spots on her cheeks. ■ .... ■ .... PERSONALITY Bellona in general is a rather friendly person Even with strangers. However, with people she doesn't know well, she tends to keep to herself. She doesn't like to talk about herself or her past and tends to become standoffish and impatient with those who try to pry. That aside, friends and companions know her to be rather snarky and playful but having a serious side when the situation calls for it. But she's also known to be painfully stubborn and reckless; two traits which have gotten her into trouble more than once. L I K E S ■ Reading. She has no preference when it comes to books and enjoys most genres. Whenever she has downtime, it is not unusual to find her hiding somewhere quiet to read. ■ Dancing and singing. Secret hobbies that she'd never admit to anyone. Growing up, Bellona was encouraged to take part in the arts and developed a strong liking for music. She knows how to play a few instruments dancing over the two activities. While very gifted in both arts, the woman is easily embarrassed and will put up a fuss (or at least pretends to) whenever someone tries to push her into singing or dancing for them. ■ Climbing. An activity she picked up in childhood, Bellona enjoys climbing things. Buildings and trees and whatever she thinks would be a fun challenge to scale. As a child it drove her mother mad whenever the young Bellona would clamber up onto the roof of their home. Presently, Bellona usually only climbs things when she wants to be alone with her thoughts and doesn't want anyone to find her. D I S L I K E S ■ Insects. Bellona can't stand any creature with six or more legs. The woman is absolutely repulsed by them and thus refuses having to do anything involving them. ■ People who pry. She likes to keep things to herself and a few people don't seem to understand that. Be it about her past or something that's clearly upsetting her, Bellona would prefer no one question her about it. She's quick to lose her temper with anyone who doesn't respect her wishes. ■ Gridania. She a lot of problems with Gridania, though most of them have to do with the people's beliefs and the Elementals. Perhaps she just misunderstand the faith but she dislikes it greatly that people allow these beings to dictate the fate of everything and everyone. Something about several homeless refugees being turned away because the Elementals willed it felt wrong. Then she especially has her gripes with the Wood Wailers. She was not welcomed warmly by them and many treated her rather poorly. As a result, Bellona has developed a deep grudge against the Wailers and has even made enemies of a few of them. H O B B I E S ■ Hunting and exploring. Bellona is very curious about Eorzea and takes any opportunity she can to explore it. She's absolutely amazed by many of the sights she finds. S T R E N G T H S ■ Determination. Or just being plain stubborn, Bellona does not back down easily. ■ Love for Her Friends. Bellona is the type to fight tooth and nail for those she cares about. Never backing down from even the greatest of challenges if it means her friends remain safe. ■ Sharp Shooter. Highly proficient in ranged combat. She knows her way around a gun but is more comfortable with the bow. W E A K N E S S E S ■ Reckless. Bellona tends to throw herself headlong into danger with little to no thought. Her actions often lead her to get herself hurt. Despite this, it doesn't discourage her from her rash behaviour. ■ Little Confidence in Herself. She feigns it, but in reality, Bellona tends to doubt herself often. Often questioning if her actions are the "right" ones. To avoid the worry of her friends and allies, she wears a brave face and puts on a confident act to distract from the fact that she's very much the opposite. ■ Close Ranged Combat. Bellona certainly knows how to fight...with the bow and blade that is. However, when it comes to using her fists, that is her weak point. While she knows how to throw a punch and can take a hit, such fights usually end up with her on her back rather than her opponent. M O T I V A T I O N S ■ ???' -Coming soon.

I'm somewhat new to FFXIV RP and decided to get into the community. I'm still getting the hang of it some I might be a little shy and slow to approach people. But I'm working on getting over this. I'm located on Mateus and if I'm not running content, I'm usually available in the evenings on weekdays. On weekends I'm usually also online during the afternoons. If you're not on Mateus, that's okay! I'm also fine with doing discord rp and if you have a tumblr I'm fine with doing rp there as well. Tumblr: catte-bard Discord: FriendlyFiend#9263 . Personal RP Limits There are a few limits I have. The biggest one is ERP. The closest I'd be comfortable with is a fade to black scene but if you're looking for some ERP for the sake of ERP, then you're going to have to look somewhere else. I don't mind Bel being captured or injured so long as it's nothing that could leave her permanently disabled. Big red flag for me is OC/OOC bleed and god-modding and I reserve the right to stop rping with you if it becomes too much of a problem. If I say or do anything in rp that rubs you the wrong way please don't be afraid to tell me. RP is supposed to be fun and don't mind working something out to avoid it happening again! ■ I will play I wouldn't mind doing long term stories with plots to them. I don't mind planning out some story ideas. I will do darker themes in rp but this is something the REQUIRES COMMUNICATION between us to avoid pushing any boundaries. I am open to shipping but this also requires communication. ■ I won't play I will under no circumstance do any ERP. Nor will I do anything where my character is killed. Disclaimer Little Tidbits. ■ CHARACTER TIDBITS Potential Plot Hooks Coming soon! Character Lore Adherence I'm rather lax when it comes to sticking to lore. Mostly because I'm still struggling to learn it myself. I do like to try to keep things within lore but I'm also not overly strict about it, so I don't mind if someone wants to bend it a little.
