Common Name
Keye J carnelianfire
Keye has chosen to use her surname, carnelianfire (or "carn" for short), in place of her first name because it reminds her too much of the traumatic destruction of her village. Her first name was the only thing she could remember immediately following the incident.
Carn's middle name does not stand for anything, it is simply the letter J. The man who found her nicknamed her J because she "needed a first name" and it was his favorite letter. At the time she was too distraught to tell the man her name was Keye, so the letter J stuck. He also gave her his surname, Carnelianfire, but he left the C lower-case to indicate that she was adopted.
The name carnelianfire is a combination of carnelian, a firey colored gemstone, and fire. When he found her, the traveling bard who adopted her felt it was appropriate to share his name with carn because she had the same firey spirit that his lineage possessed.

Character Overview
[ needs refurbishing ]
Carn is a gentle and absent-minded maiden. Fidgets.. can focus when necessary... makes level-headed decisions which is why she was able to lead titan... fragile but sturdy. Unselfish, often overextends herself.
Takes action when... she's threatened or someone she cares about is threatened. Leaves herself open to manipulation because of that.
loves to sit and drink hotcocoa... likes to relax
Ability
[ needs refurbishing ]
Carn's archery ability-- from hunting for food in the forest. Also, learned to hide in forest (dates to war when she was stranded in the forest for a while)... something to do with her race. Also, due to hunting, she learned to use spears & some close range combat weapons-- she's good at skinning & tracking.
Can "range" cook (need to find better term)... cooking over open fire. Again, mastered this while hiding in forest.
Carn has no formal training in magic. Though she is an elf and posesses some, underdeveloped magic as inherited by her race she has no knowledge of how to tap into that power and use it [ because she was separated from her race at an early age... something about sneaking books out of the wizard's library so she can do minor cantrips & spells... but hasn't had training to do larger spells. ]
Carn is a bard at heart, but posesses the skills of an adept ranger.... sings, draws, dances...
Physiology
[ needs refurbishing ]
Carn is of average stature. She is slight & lithe in appearance, well toned but not strong. Curly brown rivulets of hair cascade down her back. She usually pulls the front back with a ribbon to keep it out of her dark brown eyes.
Stays clean most of the time-- but does like to play in puddles and mud on occasion.
Carnelianfire the sylvankind elf stands about 5'7" tall. She has long, curly brown hair which she keeps pulled back with a ribbon matching her outfit. Carn dresses in gorgeous gowns of white, pink, or light green depending on the occasion. She loves her rabbit fur slippers, and wears them all the time. When she is not behind a desk, she wears a hunter green shirt and breeches and carries a bow and arrows.
History
[ needs refurbishing ]
At age 3, carn's village was sacked by a handfull of demons scavenging for supplies for a nearby army. The army burned her village down and killed nearly everyone who lived there. Carn's mother was able to hide her in the woods. Her mother was slain in the confusion having gone back to look for carn's dad.
Carn wandered in the woods a few days, tired, scared, and alone. It was by chance that a little pigmy draggie, Dominic, found her. Dominic was owned by a traveling human, bard who was passing through the countryside, fleein' from the army of demons rampaging through the woods.
The bard raised carn as his daughter and taught her to read, write, sing, draw, and hunt for food. She played in the woods beside the wagon as they traveled and got pretty good at hitting a rabbit with a bow and arrow from some distance away. Her and her "dad" would play practical jokes on one another too.
Alas, the time came when her "dad" couldn't find work. He was ill (and old... he's human, remember?) and she had to support him. She got a job as a maid in some wizard's tower. He gave her a room for her and her "dad".
Her "dad" got well, but he was never the same. Old age took its toll on him. Eventually, he passed away, leaving Dominic in her care.
It was about this time, the wizard caught Ebon-Ashe in an assassination attempt on his life... and cursed her knowing full well he'd be losing his maid. The pair was banished from the mage's tower and the two were forced to be on their own.
EA looked at carn as if she were a burden. Carn looked at EA as a sister. There was much griping, but as the weight of the curse set in, carn became more daring-- prodding EA, teasin' her knowing full well there wasn't anything she could do back to her. Eventually EA got pissed and left carn-- not realizing the extent of the curse (which has an "out"... we just haven't thought of it yet)-- that she couldn't stray too far from carn else she'd get ill. Ebon caught back up with carn and hasn't strayed far from her for very long periods of time since.
The pair traveled the countryside, makin' their way to Titan one day.... and that's where I'll leave off.
Mannerisms
[ needs refurbishing ]
Things to note about carn:
- Because her "dad" was human and not a mage, any magical abilities she knows are restricted to a few spells she learned while in service to the wizard EA tried to assassinate.
- Her mischievous nature comes from her experiences with her "dad"
- she is rather absent-minded IC, which stems from the constant play she used have when traveling as she grew up.
- she has a complex with being alone, which is why she enjoys EA's company so much.
- Carn can hunt, but she knows little by way of self defense. (EA called her an ignorant twit and told her to "bugger off" every time she'd ask for "lessons") She has never killed anyone.
- she's as innocent as they come
Ebon-Ashe loves to bite off more than she can chew, which sometimes gets her into a bit of trouble-- great profit can only come with great risk and she's not affraid of risk. She will never admit, however, when she is wrong and you will have a difficult time convincing her without the use of brute force.
She loves to threaten people, when they get in her way, but has the tendancy to lose interest in carrying out the threats. If you manage to anger her, she will often be the victim of her own rage and act carelessly. Her rage and her thrill for battle give her an uncanny lust for blood surpassed only by that of a Beserker or Nosferatu.
Also, I feel it prudent to mention Ebon's Prejudice against magic users here. Her prejudice spawns from the curse enacted upon her by a mage as well as her own lack of magical prowess. The only exception to her prejudice is Twist, whom has often used his magic to benefit, rather than punnish her.
Properties of Choice
[ needs refurbishing ]
Reflecting Pool
As a elf, carn feels naturally at home in the forest. One place in particular calms her nerves more than any other-- her Reflecting Pool.
The Reflecting Pool is a natural spring ensconsed in the forests of Titan. Its location is not difficult to get to, but is well hidden by the trees. In order to get to the Reflecting Pool, you would either have to know of it's location already or be led there by someone else. In rare instances, usually when a person or creature is naturally in tune with nature, one can stumble upon the Reflecting Pool by accident; however, few of those who stumble upon the Reflecting Pool by happenstance recognize it for what it is and are able to find it again.
The pool itself... TBC (that's to be continued)
Chateau de Amorance
.. her Chateau de I-forget-the-name (Amorance, I think)... her "retirement home" in the forest surrounded/hidden by trees (I should have a description somewhere on my backups...from before I upgraded the ole PC)
Dominic
Dominic is a pygmy dragon. 8-12" (20-30 cm) in height
Sociology
[ needs refurbishing ]
Brief dealie-o on marriage to sporon & engagement to Rob the Dogg (DSPY)
