Albinia

Albinia
Science, Responsibility, Ice

❧ Played by Sair

Appearance: As a human, she’s a grown woman, with pale skin, long light colored hair, and light blue eyes. She will never smile and either has a distant look or disapproving look most of the time.

Characteristics: Stern, serious, cold, reserved, scientific, socially awkward, rational.

Likes: Order, rules, responsibility, self-control, logic, science (Of all kinds, except mad scientist science.), scientific method, ice, frozen goods, ice sculptures (the one form of art she really enjoys), her sister, and she shares a joy of balance, dichotomy, and most importantly, popcorn with her sister.

Dislikes: Chaos, rule breaking, lack of control, irresponsibility, idiocy, mad scientist art, spicy food, hot drinks, most other forms of art, most things Kalidas likes, people who do not like popcorn, her sister, people messing with her sister.

Shrine: An ice sculpture of a circular archway. The ice never melts and it’s cold to the touch, though people won’t ever get stuck to it. (Unless they lick it, in which case, they’ll be stuck there for an hour at least.)

Ritual: To summon her, the person needs to put their hand on the statue and list off some science type fact. (It does not necessarily need to be correct, just be something sciencey.)

❧ Will Take

❧ Will Give

The heart of any beast
The roots of plants
Science experiments of any kind
Things for doing science with - plants, metals, things that create flame, glass, etc.
Acts of responsibility, and self control.
Frozen food stuff
Ice sculptures
Ice made in ways that did not come from the freezer.
Something presenting balance or dichotomy.
Popcorn
Bubble wrap.
Scientific information/discussion
People volunteering to be her guinea pigs
People helping her research her experiments
Teaching others to be responsible.
Caring for a pet, a sick person, or a family member/child.

Experimental Mediciations - All medication in pill form, sleeping pills, pain pills, acid reducers, anti-depressants, etc., but there is risk of side affects if paid for cheaply.
Science supplies - Beakers, tweezers, magnifying glass, flashlights, nothing too fancy.
Chemicals - Think chemistry set level at this point.
Condoms and Chastity Belts.
Weird Medications - Not normal pill stuff.
Ice
Girly drinks - Really weak alcohol.
Ice cream, popsicles, frozen food, popcorn, saltine crackers, chicken soup and bouillon for broth.
Lab coats, working gloves, glasses, safety goggles.
Clipboards, pens, paper.
Will teach people SCIENCE things.
Classes.
Plant domestication.

❧ Exchange Rate

Items to Units
Worth	Offering
1-2 Units	Roots Sub-par ingredients Scientific info Small act of responsibility/self control Easily gained science items
3-4 Units	Heart Small science experiments Larger acts of responsibility/self control Made ice Harder gained science items Items of balance/dichotomy
5 Units	Good quality ingredients Heart of ridiculously dangerous beast (like Red Lizagons) Large science experiments Acts of responsibility in taking care of others Teaching others to be responsible
Higher Units require personal touches because Albinia is finicky like that.
Units to Items
Cost	Reward
1 Unit	Ice Food Items 1 Pen 1 Notebook
2 Units	Condoms Learn a science thing 1 Chastity Belt 1 Girl Drink 1 Clipboard
3 Units	1 Class 1 Lap coat 1 Pair of Glasses 1 Pair of Work Gloves 1 Pair of Safety Goggles
4 Units	Weird medications (consult for first purchase)
5 Units	Good quality medications (no side effects)
NOTE: For those who are approved to be assistants or guinea pigs, you basically get a unit pay. Assistants (teacher): 3 Units per class. Assistants (experiments): 7 Units per experiment session Guinea Pigs: 10 Units per time you’re being tested on NOTE 2: If there’s a high chance your character will be dickish to her/does terribly irresponsible things that hurt other people on a regular basis/is one of those guys who murders people, it would probably be better to actually thread that out because Albinia is finicky.

[Specifically these shenanigans.]

[...you're sort of out and about anyway, but approaching the shrine seems to be the polite thing to do. Let's do that.]

[Spouts out some complex physics fact. Because. ICE CREAM??? HOLY SHIT???]

[Placing his hand on the sculpture.]

Second hand smoke is far more dangerous than the smoke imbibed by the smoker in the company.

[hand on the sculpture, and rambling about blood detecting chemical agents]

--so Luminol's extremely helpful when it comes to searching for clues at the crime scene.

[Not only do I not have any idea you disapprove of me, but I am both tipsy... and reciting a few impressive biology facts with a rather proud air.]

[Does explaining how fast a raptor falls when you push it off a cliff count as a science fact?]

[Runs a hand over the ice sculpture. :|a]

[There's a pause while he tries to think his way through to something he ought to know while he's another age and hasn't technically... learned yet.]

...

If light strikes an object with an angle of incidence of 0 degrees, no refraction occurs.

[places his hand on the ice]

Given adequate vacuuming systems, the human body can be drained of blood in 8.6 seconds.

Excuse meeeee~

[hand on ice]

A molecule is an electrically neutral group of two or more atoms held together by covalent chemical bonds. Molecules are distinguished from ions by their electrical charge. However, in quantum physics, organic chemistry, and biochemistry, the term molecule is often used less strictly, also being applied to polyatomic ions.

In the kinetic theory of gases, the term molecule is often used for any gaseous particle regardless of its composition. According to this definition noble gas atoms are considered molecules despite the fact that they are composed of a single non-bonded atom.

[Just standing there derping for a few moments while she tries to think. Finally:]

Pilot frog venom shows effects almost instantly, but its effects can vary from person to person.

[putting his hand on the ice]

Hot air rises.

[EXPLAINS HOW MAKING JERKY WORKS]

My prudent popsicle! The pulse is the pressure of arterial blood flow born of the systole movements of the heart...

But the heart of mine that I offer you today lays still in anticipation!

[puts his hand on the shrine]

Caesium explodes when it comes in contact with water.

[what do i do with this shrine]

[puts hand on ...]

[Rattling off the chemical components that you'd need to assemble a human baby.]

[SCIENCE BABBLE GOES HERE. also presenting a dead porcupine monkey he finally caught]

[Places her hand upon the shrine]

Cold... Photosynthesis is the process by which plants gain energy from the light of the sun.

[Putting his hand on the shrine... what sciency things do I know...]

.........

[Gives the speed at which a Ford Model T must hit a solid, stationary object to crumple completely]

[Explanation of the physics behind a Fang go here. :U]

[unnaturally pale, probably related to the somewhat bloody bandages wrapped around her leg; she comes in with a bundle of plant roots and 1 animal heart (looks like it was snitched from dinner)]

Um... Most car accidents happen within 3 miles of home.

[touchin' ur ice, and looking a lot better than the last time you saw him. for starters, he's conscious and walking around on his own]

The speed of sound is 340.29 meters per second.

[placing his hand on the statue.]

Did you know shark fins are loaded with a potent neurotoxin? [is this...sciency?]

The quality of the facts people recite to bring you out is inverse-related to how urgently they need to talk to you.

[after performing the necessary ritual. He does know some scientific facts]

May I ask for a syringe, my lady?
