She has an oval face with a slightly pointed chin and smooth, porcelain skin that is only touched by a few choice bits of makeup. Her eyes are large and oval in shape, and they hover at a colour that appears to be a mix between green, yellow and blue. She has long raven hair that she prefers to keep tied back in a loose ponytail, though when it is loose it falls to just above the small of her back. Umbra is fairly tall, though certainly not a giant. She stands at just over 5'9'' and weighs in around 120lbs. Her body type is long and lean, but she clearly is not weak. She has a fair bit of muscle packed on to her body, just enough to give her a well toned appearance. Her posture is very proper, and she almost always stands and walks with her back straight and her head held high. Her fashion sense is quite strange in the eyes of many other people. Most of her clothing is black, and the rest of it is comprised of dark blue, red, and purple. She likes clothing that can be comfortable and still look good. Even though most of her outfits may seem casual at first glance, a closer inspection can show that her clothing is actually quite well made. Umbra has her fair share of scars and tattoos that she had collected over the years. Her tattoos include a triquetra on her left wrist, a greyscale Rayquaza on her back, and an abstract design on her right upper arm.[/style][STYLE=color: #191919; font-size: 10px; margin-top: 10px; margin-left: 10px;]PERSONALITY[/style][STYLE= margin: 0px 10px 0px 10px; border: 2px solid #191919; padding: 2px; font-family: verdana; height: 125px; overflow: auto; font-size: 10px; text-align: justify; background-color: #ffffff; opacity: 0.8]Umbra has always been a person whose exact personality is quite difficult to pin down. Certain aspects of her character will always remain the same, yet most seem to vary with her mood and the day. She is the type of person who could be seen one day picking fights for almost no reason and the next volunteering in a shelter. She takes pleasure in confusing others and keeping everyone on their toes. In her mind, it's always fun to be unpredictable. Still, there are some traits that she is known well for: primarily her arrogant nature and sharp, and quite often sarcastic, wit. Umbra has a tendency to carry herself with a slight air of superiority and often believes herself to be capable of far more than she truly is. She is quite a prideful person and does not take insults or humiliation well. Anyone who tries to embarrass her is certain to be met with either a stream of ridicule or a fist to the face. Umbra doesn't typically act in a way that most would describe as being moral. She prefers to just do whatever she wants and whatever she believes is necessary. She is rather cunning for someone so young and has no problems with using her silver tongue to help her achieve her ends. Still, she is not completely devoid of principles. She does try her best to avoid wronging others unless she believes that she has no other choice. However, she has no sympathy for the rich of the world and will often go out of her way to annoy or trouble them. Usually, Umbra gets along pretty well with most other people. She may come across as a bit severe or harsh at times, but she is still a fairly extroverted and fun-loving person, which is good enough for most people. Yet, she still frequently finds herself making enemies among the religious and law enforcers of the world. They hate her for her hedonistic nature, and she hates them for their self-righteous ways. In all honesty, she couldn't care less about what they think of her. She knows that one cannot be loved universally so, in her mind, there's no point in even trying to change some people's opinions about you. Despite her social disposition, Umbra really is a bit of a loner. When around other people, she likes to keep her guard up. She sees this as a way of protecting herself, as a way of making sure that she never gets hurt. She has a tendency to be a bit cynical when it comes to personal relationships, so she typically tries her best to avoid them. To her, the brief experience of loving someone is not worth the inevitable pain that comes when the relationship ends. In her mind, it's always best to just avoid the pain altogether.[/style][STYLE=color: #191919; font-size: 10px; margin-top: 10px; margin-left: 10px;]HISTORY[/style][STYLE= margin: 0px 10px 0px 10px; border: 2px solid #191919; padding: 2px; font-family: verdana; height: 125px; overflow: auto; font-size: 10px; text-align: justify; background-color: #ffffff; opacity: 0.8]Amell. Once upon a time that name meant something. They were a rich, prestigious family known to bring forth some of the greatest trainers and researchers the regions had ever seen. But such luck couldn't last forever. Years ago, when Team Rocket was just coming into their first bout of power, it all changed. A man, Thomas Amell, decided that he wanted to take power the easy way. That he didn't want to work for it. He joined the Team, and with their fall he disgraced his family. He disgraced their name. Nothing the family did could bring their honour back. No one wanted to associate with a family who 'bred criminals'. Their standing fell. The Amells were no longer great. This, this was the world Umbra was born into. A world full of scorned youth and bitter old men determined to live out their days reminiscing on how prominent their family used to be. Her father, Cassius, was one of the worst of them all. He was determined to make Amell a respected name once again, and he was willing to do anything he could to make sure he lived to see that happen. It wasn't long before his devotion to his ambitions began to worry her mother. Cassius' eyes had turned to using his children as a way to restore their reputation, but she, she would have none of that. She refused to let her children be pawns in his little game, so she left and took her children with her. There were no tearful goodbyes, no angry fights, nothing. The four of them just packed up what they needed and left in the middle of the night, all the while their mother whispering urgently to them to keep quiet. Umbra was only five at the time. They fled, moved far away to a place her mother was certain Cassius would never find them: the Unova region. They settled in Driftveil City, a quiet-enough place that was full of the exact type of people Cassius wanted to avoid. They would be free from him here. The next few years were spent doing whatever they could to make ends meet. The majority of their mother's time was spent doing odd jobs around the town. Most days William was left to tend for his younger siblings alone. Some days they would have school, but typically Umbra and Alina spent their time under the watchful eye of their older brother. For years, this was their life. Go to school, go home, stay inside and hope their mom would be able to come home that night. But then, when Kaila was nine, everything changed. An illness swept through the city, infecting and killing many. William and Umbra were unaffected, but their mother and sister were not so lucky. Within days of each other, both Naomi and Alina succumbed to the sickness that had gripped them. Now, now it was just the two of them against the world. They ran, knowing that if they were found they would either be split up or sent back to their father. Out of all the options they had, living on the streets together truly seemed to be the best. Their next several years were spent doing whatever they could to survive, most of which involved a certain disregard for the laws. But still it wasn't all bad. The good experience Umbra had during those years was when she befriended a young Houndour she found lying alone in an alleyway. She had always wanted a Pokemon but had never been able to catch one before. She felt as though it was meant to be. Eventually, she and her brother separated. Though they loved each other, they knew that this arrangement was making them both miserable. They each wanted to go their own way, make their own path in the world. In the end, they decided it would be best if they split up. It wasn't long after this that Umbra began to steal for fun. Before it had always been out a necessity; she had needed to do it to survive. But now, now she had realised that she had a knack for the arts of thieving and deceiving and that there were many people out there willing to pay a great deal to employ someone of her particular skill set. It was an excellent and easy way to make money. So, she dropped her given name and took up the mantle Umbra. Kaila Amell was no more. Since that day, she has been wandering through the regions, battling all those who get in her way and taking work from whoever offered it.[/style][STYLE=color: #191919; font-size: 10px; margin-top: 10px; margin-left: 10px;]LIKES & DISLIKES[/style][STYLE= margin: 0px 10px 0px 10px; border: 2px solid #191919; padding: 2px; font-family: verdana; height: 125px; overflow: auto; font-size: 10px; text-align: justify; background-color: #ffffff; opacity: 0.8]LIKES;; + nighttime + exploring + mythology + heights + battling + music + philosophy + winning + money + playing games DISLIKES;; - deliberate ignorance - early mornings - small spaces - stupidity - intolerance - conformity - disrespect - dresses - overly emotional people - failing[/style][STYLE=color: #191919; font-size: 12px; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: center; font-family: courier new]application was passed by username[/style] | [atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellpadding,0,true][atrb=valign,top][atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=style, width: 40px;][STYLE=background-color: #f1e3b4; font-family: courier new; font-size: 30px; color: #404040; min-height: 150px; padding: 5px; text-align: center; moz-border-radius: 0px 10px 10px 0px; -o-border-radius: 0px 10px 10px 0px; border-radius: 0px 10px 10px 0px; -webkit-border-radius: 0px 10px 10px 0px;]n i c k n a m e[/style] |
