About your Character:
Name:Karios (No last name)
Alias (If applicable): Kari, Red, Navi
Age: 18
Sex: female
Origins: Born and raise in Felorice, the slums
Appearance: She’s a gangly thing, skinny but muscle. Standing at about 5’4”, she was usually mistaken as a child. Her skin was tanned from being out in the sun working around the docks and fields for odd jobs when she was younger. Her hair was a beach bleached blonde color which was natural, and cut into a jagged line which left her hair shorter on one end than the other. In all this, her bright blue eyes would stand out.
Her outfits would scandalize most, usually being shorts and a top that’d show her midrift. Depending on if she was in street clothes or ship clothes, her foot wear would range from sandals to calf boots.
Sometimes you’ll find her running amuck in the pirate city wearing a captain’s jacket she had ‘borrowed’, which was unbuttoned, and nothing underneath but pants and a chest binding. But no matter what she wears, she always wears this almost diamond shaped pendant which was one of the only things left to her. It’s a double compass, one for NWSE direction, and the other, which had been tinkered with, shows the lat. and long. direction the ship is traveling in.
Personality:
Karios, if she hadn’t been so good at navigating, probably would’ve been locked up. She mentally isn’t one of the most stable people, but there have been worse running the streets. She has a tad bit of schizophrenia, and has been seen, at time, talking to inanimate objects and insisting they’ve spoken back to her. Statues, boats, airships, mannequins and sometimes even her food, she’s spoken to them all.
Her ‘ability’ (note it’s not really an ability) to talk ships though, relaying accurate information has granted her a seat on many an airship, that and her compulsive need to collect two things, maps and apples. This and a combination of her compass has made her a very reliable navigator. When she is mapping charts or handing out directions is when she is most lucid, a sort of self prescribed medication.
However, this is not to say she’s safe. She has gotten violent if she doesn’t get things like her apples or if someone touches or takes her maps. It has led to the death of a few people, but due to her abnormalities, the claim of insanity and no room in bedlam has left her to the streets, but not with out some flogging punishment.
Strengths:
Agility
Navigation skills
Speed
Acrobatics
Weaknesses (list 2-3, you can add more if you’d like):
Her obsessions
Her mental state
If someone can get her talking, she can be rather too trusting with information. (However if she feel that you can’t be trusted she’ll basically shut down)
Doesn’t really have too much a moral compass, as in, what’s socially right and wrong.
History:
She was orphaned young at the age of 10, and being an orphan from the slums, she didn’t get too much care from the actually orphanage. Kari did have a small, very small, band of thieves who looked after her in the early years, she never knew why. Maybe they knew her father, or was one of her mothers suitors, but in any case, they were there if she got into more trouble than she can handle.
They eventually taught her how to uses a knife, atleast in the beginning. They were never around to take notice, though, when she started to be a bit off, and maybe, had they noticed, it could’ve been stopped, and these mental issues would’ve been nipped in the bud. But unfortunately, it wasn’t until she was 15 they noticed small pack rat tendencies, and how she’d go to graveyards and lay in the arms of statues to talk to them. They caught her laughing and talking with a full rigged whip sitting in the docks! What little they had seen of this before, they had assumed it to be a child’s imagination, but it had grown into something deeper rooted since those days.
It was that year she killed her first man. He was hoping to pull a fast one on Kari, knowing about her ‘love’ for apples, he lured her over saying if she played a little game, she’d get the apple. Kari did love a good game, and maybe, if her age matched her mental age, she would’ve done things different… He brought her to a park bench and had her sit in his lap and try to reach for the apple as his hand roamed over her back side. Hey, if she dressed and looked like a streetwalker, some people might assume it. At first, Kari didn’t mind just the back rub, but as he kept the apple out of her reach while his reach got lower, she got innately frustrated. So, slipping her dagger out of her holster she stabbed the man in the chest, twice. Oh he let go of her and the apple rather quick. Thinking it was still a game, she hopped off his lap and picked up the apple from the ground. She wiped her blade cleaned, like she was taught to, and the last thing the man heard was her laughter while she announced how she won this game.
Since then, word had gotten around and the fact she sat by the dead man to eat her apple, she was arrested. This murder they wrote off as self defense once she was able to explain in childish words what happened.
She’s been hired on by sky pirates from time to time, to navigate dangerous routes or even find short cuts that haddn’t been seen before. Though her pay was minimal for doing this, they did amuse her and let her have rides to the floating city if they were on their way there.
With the uprise of the supernaturals coming, she wasn’t worried. Heck, she knew some even before then. Why people told their secrets to a crazy child, no one knew. But from what she has seen, so far, none of them were all so bad. Now, she wanders, her pack full of maps and apples, getting odd jobs here and there and just trying to stay alive.

Additional Info:
None I can think of now, but I’ll add something as it comes up.
RP Example/Introductory Post (Give us an idea of your writing style and your character in RP):
Today, she was barefoot, running through Aeream in the rain, to get back to the ships that was suppose to be taking her back. She used the slickness of the streets to he advantage, sliding down the declines and ‘drifting’ around corners. If she didn’t make it, she’d be stuck up here for probably a week, and well, it was one eye Larry’s birthday in two days, and he lived down below, so she couldn’t very well miss that. (she had bought him a box to keep his eye patches in. was water tight when closed, so the leather wouldn’t be a mess)
“Go…gogo…GO go go….” She blurted, almost a chant as she passed by the brothel, the ladies whistling at her, almost comically cheering her on. Kari almost let out a yelp! Because the hangar bay door was closing, she got as close as she could before moving to slide under the closing door, Making it just in time, she hopped up and saw that the air ship had just pulled out, but a few of the crew members were calling and waving her over. They wanted her to jump. It wasn’t too far a jump, but if she slipped or jumped too early, well…it was a long way down.
“Kari knows!” She yelled back, adjusting her back pack a moment before taking a breath and beginning her run, it was a bit of a sprinters run, loud and well hasty. One foot hit near the edge and she leapt. A collect held breath, between her and the crew. And then a cringe. She had missed the deck, but did manage to grapple to one of the ropes hanging down from the ship. Slippery hands held on for dear life was the sky captain hauled her up slowly.
“Took a bit of a spill, did ja love?” He said as he hauled her up. Kari nodded furiously, and then once on, she did discover she was shaking, half cold from being soaked to the bone, and most of it was the adrenaline leaving her body.
The laughed it off and led her inside, to dry up and warm up by the furnace of the steam engine.
