Appearance
A young Polynesian woman who wears her hair in two high buns tied with ribbons and sideswept bangs. She's 5'4 (about 162 cm) and medium-sized, with a decent amount of muscle but not the lack of body fat that would make it obvious; she doesn't look shredded. She has a few scars from cuts, puncture wounds and various types of animal bites, but they're mostly covered by her clothes. Fashion
Her canonical outfit is a red short-sleeved jacket with folding lapels over a white buttoned shirt with mid-length frilly sleeves, black pants with a large belt, and brown boots with loose folded-down tops (the proper name is cavalier boots but if I say 'pirate boots' it gets the point across pretty much instantly). She has pierced ears and usually wears small gold hoop earrings.Demeanor & Attitude
Usually very chill, easygoing, and relaxed. Fond of nature, naps, and hanging out, but her absolute favourite thing in the world is surfing. Occasionally she'll make an incongruously bleak semi-joke about herself and her mental health, and she's unreservedly terrified of the dark. Also a self-declared slacker who loudly and openly does not enjoy manual labor or tedious chores and prefers to avoid them.Voice
In game she's voiced by a ukulele.Magic & Telepathy
Walani is a baseline human who happens to be very good at surfing, except for the video game mechanics she drags in from her canon (most notably a hammerspace inventory that allows her to fit her surfboard in her pocket). She has some experience with using magic items but no psychic or magical abilities nor any special defenses against them.IC PERMISSIONS
- Physical affection: Walani loves hugs and cuddles. Anyone she doesn't actively dislike is welcome.
- Flirtation and romance: Yeah sure why not, as long as your character's an adult. For the record, she's bi.
- Fighting: Sure! She prefers to avoid violence (and doesn't think highly of people who resort to violence easily), but when she does decide that a fight is worth it she gets pretty intense about it.
- Injuries: Try to avoid immobilising/incapacitating injuries like broken legs unless she's about to die anyways, because it's a jarring departure from her canon where she can take lots of damage but as long as she has 1/120 HP she can still fight or run away at full capacity as long as she doesn't get hit again. Maiming should likewise be saved for if she's going to die soon and reset it by reviving, unless we've made arrangements otherwise.
- Death: Temporary death is fine, and her canon supplies a lot of ways to resurrect herself. I'm dubious about permadeath for both IC and OOC reasons (it'd have to exhaust or circumvent her resurrection items) but I guess it could work in the right thread?
OOC PERMISSIONS
- Backtagging: Go for it!
- Fourthwalling/canon-puncturing: If your character is the type of person to be familiar with DLC expansion packs for 2010s indie games, have at it, I guess? I don't think Walani would have an existential crisis over it.
- Threadhopping: Sure, as long as we're not in a game that has a rule against it.
- Warnings appreciated: Child abuse, dental gore
- Please avoid: On-screen sexual violence or direct threats thereof, detailed gory torture
