Tempest Rime Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 [ Creature Related Character ]Name: Lola SilverbeakGender: FemaleAge: AdultSpecies: GriffinEye Color: Sky BluePhysique & Colors: Small and slim build with pink feathers, grey skin, orange fur, and a silvery beak (her family's namesake)Residence: Family estates in Talonopolis, Rockwington, and possibly other citiesOccupation: Scientist and wealthy heiressLikes: Money, power, technology, progress, electricityDislikes: Imperfection, her inability to use magic, anyone who gets in her way, the RazorclawsCharacter Summary:As the eldest daughter and heir to the considerable wealth of the Silverbeak clan's large share in Talonopolis' electrical industry, Lola could very easily coast through life on her allowance from her father, but the very idea of it would never occur to her. From a young age, she has always been driven to understand and improve upon things around her, and nothing fascinated her as much as the source of her family's wealth, the relatively new and still not fully understood power of electricity.Lola studied physical sciences under the best tutors money could buy, and has designed dozens of inventions that her father's company has put into production. When she inherits the company, she has big plans for expansion, but what really drives her thirst for invention are the tales of unicorn magic. The idea that the meek little creatures could command abilities unobtainable to Griffin scientists both irks and inspires her, and she dreams of one day being able to match all of the ubiquitous capabilities of magic with the enlightened power of technology.As she believes she has learned all she can at home, Lola has begun to turn her sights east. Where better to learn how to match the power of magic than in a place dominated by it. Thus she set her heart on traveling abroad. Fiercely independent, she refuses a bodyguard, and relies on her beloved science for protection, carrying devices that are advanced even by Griffin standards. Her favorite invention is a parasol with a built-in capacitor that she can discharge to electrocute ruffians should the need arise.She can appear to be rather pompous at times, as she spends a lot of effort maintaining her appearance. To her thinking doing so is not as much about vanity, however, as it is about practicality. Looking refined lets those around her know that she is someone important, and it serves to make a good impression on them. It is more of an extension of her highly-driven, ambitious personality than an expression of narcissism.Lola's views on the world are quite progressive, intellectually, but her demeanor is heavily influenced by her upper-class upbringing. She tends to look down on ponies, even while extolling the virtues of a society that fully integrates them. What's more, her agressive griffin nature does serve to fuel a very un-pony-like cutthroat mentality when it comes to her business ventures. She is often willing to let the ends justify the means, and while she is committed to advancing the greater good of society as a whole, she wouldn't bat an eye at ruining a few lives in the process.Her mother died years ago of pneumonia, but her relationship with her father is quite good, and as his age advances he has come to rely on her advice more and more in order to stay in touch with modern advances. After her mother died, her father remarried, so she has a wide array of both siblings and half-siblings. Her contributions to the family have served to ensure her position as heir is not in danger from her siblings, though a few of her siblings may harbor resentful feelings towards her. (I'm leaving the number of siblings and they themselves undefined for now in case anyone wants to play one of them. If you do, go ahead an PM me and I can add some specifics here.)

Tam Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Approved. Since she is a part of a "Large Clan" I hope you'll be open to the idea of allowing others to join your silverbeak family for her! C: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Rime Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Yeah, I used the template, with some tweaking to various bits in GIMP. And another character from her clan would be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
