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.

  • Frozen food stuff
  • Ice sculptures
  • Ice made in ways that did not come from the freezer.
  • Something presenting balance or dichotomy.

  • 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.

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.

If the fire was hurting people, why didn't you just back off, Kalidas? Could you not do that?
pencilpremonition: (Amazed)

[Becca nods her head respectfully, grateful to be told this story.]

You're like...like yin yang, I guess... Have you always been together since then?
pencilpremonition: (Excited)

Tell me more about yourselves as people. I mean, I know what you take in sacrifices, but is there anything else you like? Are there any stories about yourselves that are good to know?
pencilpremonition: (Concerned)

[personal profile] pencilpremonition 2012-02-15 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
[I have no idea what that word means.]

Uhm, okay?

So what should we do for holidays? The first of winter for Albinia... Do you want to share a day? Or do you want a different day, Kalidas?
pencilpremonition: (Excited)

[personal profile] pencilpremonition 2012-02-15 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
How do you even celebrate science... Oh! I know. Would you judge it if we had a science fair?
pencilpremonition: (Considering)

[personal profile] pencilpremonition 2012-02-16 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I'd hate to make you work for your own holiday, but maybe if you set up a big experiment that we could all help with?

Kalidas, I know what to do for yours. We'll make paper mache art for you and then burn them when they dry.
pencilpremonition: (Excited)

[personal profile] pencilpremonition 2012-02-16 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
So there'll be a big experiment on the first of winter, and everybody that wants to celebrate will help you with it.

And then...we need to pick a day for the art and fire festival. Maybe...the first of summer, since you two are opposites?
pencilpremonition: (Happy)

So it's all settled, then.

[And she pulls out a book that looks like she's trying to make an encyclopaedia, and hands it over to Albinia. Her notes aren't the greatest; she's far from a scientist, but she at least has good observational skills, and has catalogued everything she can get a hold of.]
