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

  • 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.

I can certainly handle retrieving samples, given how far afield I go most days.

[she's probably already noticed that he's one of Selyir's Shades now.]

I can certainly check. Ah - do you mind turning away for a moment? I'm sure it doesn't count with you, but -

[I gotta make a portal and check my stuff]

[fortunately he keeps all his supplies in one easily accessible place. it only takes him a few moments to find what he needs.]

Here. Blue-Grape Vines. Not very many though, I'm afraid.

You did tell me to keep some. I may have a few others as well; I took the liberty of not trading in all of the ones that looked interesting or completely foreign.

Let me set them out for you. And then you can tell me.

[spreads out a small bag of random plant samples on the floor! Basically, he's kept a small sample of anything she's ever told him to get in exchange for medicine, unless the plant had a direct and obvious Earth analog (and thus wasn't interesting enough to keep).]

That last one might be tricky.

That's him. He's been missing for 26 days now.

[he's probably asked you this a couple times before :(]

... thank you. Thank you for the information.
