It's a good excersise in keeping tabs on an established character.
However, there are parts of this character that, while I have the details writen out, I will not put up here. I'm not about to ruin any of the surprises I built into her, thank you very much.
Happy Reading. If you get through all of this, more power to you.
PHYSIOLOGY
1. Sex/Gender: Female
2. Age: 627 years old (Or young, as the case maybe.)
3. Height/Weight: 5'10"/132lbs(without wings)
4. Color of Hair/Eyes/Skin: Golden Blonde/Red/Pale
5. Posture: She has excellant posture, squared shoulders and a straight back. She hardly ever relaxes in public.
6. Appearance (Good-looking, over/underweight, clean, neat, pleasant, untidy; shape of face/head/limbs): Like most Succubi/Incubi, Kotori is fastidious and extremely good looking, though perhaps a tad slender.
7. Defects (deformities, abnormalities, birthmarks, diseases): The jewel on her forhead is considered a 'deformity' by the Daemonar, as it is not natural in their species.
8. Heredity (inherited traits from character's family): Her red eyes are a LaDiablo marker and only her family has them amoung the Daemonar. The gem on her forhead was inherited from her mother.
SOCIOLOGY
1. Social Class (lower, middle, upper): Top of the Upper Class
2. Occupation (Type of work, hours of work, income, condition of work, union or non-union, attitude towards organization, suitability for work): As a Lady of a House, Kotori is the equivilant to a govenor of an area that is ruled by the Daemonar Dark Court. While her House staff helps with the day-to-day affairs, she is often called upon to mediate extreme disputes and is in charge of making sure the Dracian do not violate the country boundries. Also, as a high ranking Succubi, she is also responsible for keeping the Pact intact between the Humans and Succubi/Incubi. She is required to appear when the Dark Court is called by her Father and is subject to his decisions.
3. Education (amount, kind of schools, marks, favorite subjects, poorest subjects, aptitudes): Highly educated starting at age 13, she is extremely proficiant in Daemonar History and Customs, Court Ettiquate, Dance, Government, and Daemonar Magic. Due to her half-brother's influence she is also well trained in tactics and long-term planning. She has never been very good with numbers, however, and usually leaves the accounting to her assistants.
4. Home Life (Parents living, earning power, orphan, parents separated or divorced, parents' habits, parents' mental development, parents' vices, neglect, character's marital status): *Disclaimer: I will NOT go into Kotori's mother. She has never been a part of the character's growth and will not be given away at this time. If this really gets your britches in a bunch, send me a note and we'll chat.* Kotori's father, Tsalmaveth Tien LaDiablo is the Head of House LaDiablo, the Lover of Shadows, and the single most powerful Daemonar currently alive. He resides in the main Hall owned by the House and is rarely seen outside of his private chamber where he spends his time gathering power and spreading out his web to further solidify his control. His rule is fair, but strict, and death is not uncommon when infractions are discovered. While Kotori fears and respects him, she also cares for him to a degree and is quick to move against those who slight him.
Daemonar never marry and rarely form permanent attachments to another Daemonar. Children are agreed upon by two parties and taken by one or the other to be raised within that House. To this end, Kotori has point-blank refused to ever have children and has taken no other Daemonar lover in her rank other than Amatheon Aeon. Her Seraglio(or Harem) is on the smallish side, but includes many of those who also help with the running of her House. (Such as her advisor and acting seneschal, Sahen Siyamak, a Daemonar of mixed rank.)
5. Race: Half-Daemonar, Succubi/Incubi Rank, Half-? *Again, note me if you are concerned, but I do not feel the need to destroy any of the interesting plot surprises I have in store.*
6. Religion and/or Nationality: There are no Gods at this time on Baeldia. Daemonar respect the night, but do not worship it./Ruler of the Ahti province in the Pryderi Nation.
7. Place in Community ('leader among friends', clubs, sports): Province Ruler, member of the highest House in the Dark Court, Lover of Ice.
8. Political affiliations: House LaDiablo, allied with the humans of Pryderi, fierce enemy of the Dracian race.
9. Amusements/Hobbies (books, newspapers, magazines he/she reads, etc.): Sculpting and music are Kotori's main interests outside of Court entanglements. Her personal Hall is full of ice sculptures year round, though they often change with the season. While those in her House claim she has a lovely singing voice, she usually sticks to playing the regional instrument that closely resembles a shamisen.
10. Time Period/Era (social structure and how it pertains to your character): The realm of Pryderi is a mix of Medival and Victorian in comparison to human time-periods. Science is not an important part of a world that revolves around such powerful magical entities such as the Daemonar and Dracian. Pryderi is split into proviances that are ruled by the various Houses of the Dark Court, all of which are under the rule of the most powerful House. The rank of the Houses changes often, except for LaDiablo which has remained the most powerful due to the Lord of the House, the Lover of Shadows. The humans living in the various proviances are under the protection of the House ruling it. While humans outnumber the Succubi/Incubi Daemonar, they remain bound by the treaty to ensure that the Lukivai and Vandurai Daemonar do not ever escape the Succubi/Incubi control. (These two members of the Daemonar race exist on pain, flesh and blood, and are only kept in check and under control by the Powers of the Succubi/Incubi Daemonar, who need humans to ensure they have enough energy to use these Powers.)
Kotori exists within this system and is bound by the rules that apply to all Daemonar. She must protect her people, keep her side of the treaty, and ensure that her House remains in power. Heavy responsibilities she has been trained to carry.
PSYCHOLOGY
1. Moral Standards: Kotori has the morals most Daemonar have. There is no law against killing, but one must be willing to accept any reprisals that comes with it. Every action must be carefully thought out, for one never knows if they are acting on their own or to the tune of another's plot. Kotori is very true to the laws and treaties as well as the codes that the 3 casts of Daemonar follow. If she feels someone falls under her House's shadow of protection she will move to protect them whether they know it or not. She sometimes gets confused when visiting other worlds and their customs reguarding sex. Since the Succubi/Incubi need sex as a source of energy/food, they do not completely understand more reserved races... however, she is extremely picky about who she takes to her Seraglio. Once taken in, that indivdual is extended the protection of her House, along with the rest of their kin, and accorded privilages and rank. Slights and insults towards a member of her Seraglio are taken as slights against her and her House and delt with accordingly.
2. Personal Premise/Ambition: Kotori's current driving ambition is to discover who/what her mother is/was. She also intends to strengthen the power of her House... if she happens to find a way to take a chunk of Dracian land in the process, all the better.
3. Frustrations: Her father's refusal to reveal who her mother is. Other Houses assuming she is the weak link in the House and trying to use her to strengthen their own Houses or destroy LaDiablo. Othar Osirii Mirovien, an Incubi Daemonar Lord who has been persuing her for the last 100 years.
4. Temperament (choleric, easygoing, pessimistic, optimistic, etc.): Always plotting, she can seem cold and aloof to most who casually meet her. To those of her House she reveals more of her warmth and caring. The only people she is ever completely relaxed around are Daimer and Amatheon Aeon. She is quick to go coldly angry when those she considers "her's" are threatened or in trouble and it usually takes a long time for her anger to thaw.
5. Attitude toward Life (resigned, militant, defeatist, etc.): Life is the Dark Court's Dance, plotting and planning. She never bends her neck to anything life throws at her and will fight against what others call 'fate' with every ounce of power she has.
6. Complexes (obesessions, inhibitions, superstitions, phobias, etc.): She is completely obsessed with her unknown mother. She is also completely attached to her half-brother and scorns all other Daemonar males as insignifcant next to him. She is slightly frightened of thunder and will often, as casually as possible, shift over to be around either Daimer or Amatheon Aeon when possible.
7. Extrovert? Introvert? Ambivert?: Ambivert
8. Abilities (languages, talents): Kotori speaks the 3 main languages of her planet, Trade(most common language, equivalant to English), High Daemonar, and Dracian. Her Daemonar Power lies in Cold and Ice, being able to, on touch, lower the temperature of anything until she is satisfied and to control ice when she is able to form it. She can not, however, create it from thin air... she must have moisture to work with. She is also highly trained in the arts of seduction and sex, which is normal for powerful Succubi/Incubi ranked Daemonar.
9. Qualities (imagination, judgement, taste, poise): Put Amatheon Aeon and Kotori together and they can pull off just about any plot they want. Kotori is quick witted and has a vicious imagination when it comes to how to inflict the most social damage to another House. She can be slightly more rash than her half-brother, so he plays the slightly more practical, though bloodthirsty, of the two. Her tastes run towards exotic and she revels in new and foreign goods brought in. Her poise is what is expected of a Lady of the Dark Court, completely refined and elegant.
10. IQ: Around 175
11. Time Period/Era (periodic ways of thinking, and how it applies to your character): Kotori has very few of the inhibitions towards personal interaction that humans do. Since Daemonar can fully control their fertility, there has never been issues with who/what one wishes to 'dally' with. Her relationship with her half-brother is not viewed as anything out of the ordinary amongst her kind. She dosen't understand the idea of sectioning off one whole gender as 'undesireable' and is not put off by different races, either. Is it useful? Is it powerful? Is it attractive? Then what is the problem? Death is also nothing new or special for a Daemonar. If you kill, you may someday be killed. If you are weak, you won't survive.
