If there were a word for the opposite of packrat, Sionaya would be it. She never keeps anything she's lost interest in - and she loses interest pretty fast.
Hobbies
playing tag
Strengths
[integrity of her passion]
Weaknesses
Getting Sionaya to stick with anything is a struggle - while not exactly indecisive, what she says one day shouldn't be enforced on her the next day. Constancy is not a word that should be applied to her.

Personality

Sionaya possesses an intellectual quickness and an emotional depth that makes her an exceptionally forceful, magnetic, and versatile person. She is especially quick and active, often receptive and tuned in to other people. Surprisingly, these exceptional traits don't really make her the leader that is implied. Even with all this strength, she is easily persuaded, distracted, and influenced; she can be led astray or distracted from reaching her full potential.

Never opposed to taking a chance or getting out on a limb, sensationalism and extremes are always appealing to her, and this is reflected in her actions and the friends she selects. She expends a good deal of her energies chasing personal pleasures rather than keeping her lazy nose to the grindstone. She can pursue any project with great intensity, but never for any long periods of time.

With a tendency to overindulging and getting her finger in too many pies, Sionaya is awfully scatterbrained, and easily gives the appearance of being flighty. All too often this results in problems if she isn't careful, and she's not one who is known to be usually very careful. There is little she couldn't do -- if she could just get her mental and emotional nature pulling together in the same constructive direction.

Active, restless and changeable, Sionaya likes plenty of variety in her everyday activities, in her friends, even in her diet. The epitome of "jack-of-all-trades and master of none," her interests are many and diverse -- almost anything will attract her attention, if only for a brief time. She finds it difficult to limit herself to one job, to one relationship, or one hobby, constantly seeking variety and mental adventure. She scatters her energies because she doesn't want to miss anything.

Sionaya flourishes on ideas, with a mind that is ever so quick and curious. She enjoys talking and writing. In an attempt to be constantly aware of all that is going on around her, she tries to understand and participate in it all. Hard to pin down, she's even harder to beat in a debate, due to her abilities of combining quick comprehension and the communication of this comprehension to others. She talks herself into and out of situations with ease.

Extremely friendly, if flighty, she adores companionship, and really thrives on it. Just as she doesn't like to be without activity, she dislikes to be alone. Possessing a very wide circle of friends, she enjoys many activities -- movies, games, conversation, and such. Sionaya is quickly bored with conservative types that can't make a decision or agree with her need to impose change. Her restless mercurial nature requires constant excitement and change, or she becomes very dispirited and morose.

Superficial as hell, with as much depth as a bubbling stream, Sionaya's relationships appear to be equally superficial. She is not a person to let on that she feels anything deeply, and it's difficult to tell how high one might stand in her trust. A constant need for change forces her to flit from relationship to relationship like butterflies change flowers.

ROSE ELITE SOLDIER SIONAYA ELEHAYYM

Colors
bunsen-burner flame teal (which I will not try to approximate, use your imagination)
candlelight yellow (which comes out as a vanilla sort of colour)
Theme
fire mage
Affiliation
Rose Elite
Uniform
Sionaya has to wear a uniform that's fairly close to her body, in case her fire gets out of control. So her basic outfit is a pair of teal leggings tucked into black chunky boots with 2" heels, with a kneelength tunic over. The tunic is candlelight yellow, and has cap sleeves, slits in the sides up to the waist, and a v-neck. She wears a gold chain belt and fingerless candlelight yellow gloves with teal stitching. Just as in her normal form, she has the garnet pendant and garnet / quartz anklet.
Powers
fire, fire, and fire

 
Oh, you wanted detail?

Sionaya controls fire in 6 variations. The garnet pendant she wears amplifies and channels her power to a certain extent, and the garnet beads of her anklet represent the level of charge she has. When the charge represented by the bead is drained, the bead fades from red to clear. There can be half-charges. Each variation requires a certain level of charge to complete. Charges recumulate at the rate of one every two hours, or five for every hour asleep. Lacking the pendant, Sionaya has very little control and is as likely to create a forest fire as light a candle. One of these days, she might actually make the effort to learn the control she must have had before. One of these days ... yeah, RIGHT.
 

  • <first variation> fire-born : Sionaya likes to cast this with a flourish, because it's the simplest variation. She just holds out her cupped hand, or hands, and a blot of fire appears there, varying in width from the size of a candleflame to about the size of a softball. The fire she creates is exactly like regular fire with one exception: it can't burn her. Any type of fire except the kind she creates with her spells burns her, but not her own. Also, she can throw the fire (FIREBALL!!! -_-;) for a distance of up to about 120 feet. If she touches someone with the fireball, it will burn just like normal fire. She can, with extra effort, shape the fire to something other than just a ball or flame-shape; for example, a fan or sword of flame, a design in the air, or a necklet of fire.
    Requires 1/2 charge for simple fireball; 1/2 extra charge to maintain for throwing; 1 extra charge to create and maintain shape other than fireball.
  • <second variation> fire in the hand : Sionaya requires an object on which to perform this spell. Usually with a piece of concrete or other rubble, this spell causes the object to become an explosive that goes off on contact. The explosion has a radius of 8ft, regardless of the size of the original object. The explosive must be thrown within 15 seconds of its creation or it becomes too hot to handle.
    Requires 2 charges, 1 object per explosive created.
  • <third variation> wings of the phoenix : This spell causes Sionaya to gain wings with feathers of fire. The fire is entirely appearance-based -- the wings only look like fire, but respond and can be used as real wings. They do not burn.
    Requires 4 charges, 1 feather to cast; 1 charge for every 5 minutes sustained.
  • <fourth variation> salamander's sigil : With this ward-spell, Sionaya can cause an object to burst into devouring flames if anyone but those attuned to the spell opens the object. She draws a complex symbol in faerie-fire on the latch of the object, incorporating into the design the marks that designate who is safe from the spell. When someone who is not attuned attempts to open the object, flames burst from the sigil, invisible after completion, and attack the victim. This can also be cast as a spell to prevent the movement of an object, triggered if the object is moved.
    Requires 8 charges, 1 object, 2 minues casting time. Consumes additional 2 charges when triggered.
  • <fifth variation> wrath of the fire goddess : Sionaya can summon fire downward from the sky to immolate a target. This spell manifests as a circular column of fire striking downward with a diameter of 8ft and a height of 100ft. Anything within that range will be caught in the flames. Basically unblockable, this spell not only requires the expenditure of ALL the charges Sionaya has but a lengthy preparation time, among other things. In order to perform this, she must spend 1 minute reciting a specific syllabic sequence over a sacred scroll (which itself requires a 6-hour ceremony to prepare), and another minute reciting a different syllabic sequence as a prayer to the fire goddess. Should anything go awry, the spell will backlash through her body, leaving her unconscious for at least an hour. Correct completion results in said column of flame appearing for up to five minutes, then near-complete physical exhaustion and total magical depletion.
    The two ways to block this spell are first to interrupt the recitations, thereby disrupting the spell, or second to create a shield with more raw power than Sionaya uses to cast the spell.
    Requires 20 charges, 1 sacred scroll, 2 minutes preparation time.
    [BIG GO BOOM!!!!!! Mwahahahahaha.]
  • <sixth variation> vision in flame : Given the casting of fire-born, Sionaya can view in fast-forward the dreams of one subject per day within the flames. The subject must be unconscious or asleep, and will wake with a vague memory/dream of being trapped in a circle of fire.
    Requires 1 charge.
    Weapon
    war fan - with sharp pointy edges. We'll just hide those in pretty painted silk, shall we? You really can't tell it's made of sharp sharp steel, we promise. At least, you can't tell until Sionaya burns the silk off ...

    *innocent of blame*

    I'm Panya. That's reason enough. ^^

    I'm kidding! Real reasons are that I have many many characters, most of whom took very little revision before being accepted, I am about to graduate college with a degree in Creative Writing, and I GM a chatbased RPG called Twilight Ascension. To see the list of my characters, go to the Codex. Also, while I can be a bit of a slacker on stories, if you tell me "PANYA! WRITE!" I will. I get along with people well, I don't take offense easily, and I'm a nice person.

    Email will be elite(a)firechildren.net, but that doesn't work yet.

     

    And of course God has feet.

     

    ... and yes. I didn't bother to re-write these last sections because it would have been a waste of time. I applied before, you may remember, for the Opalpapillon position, and while I wish Naida would fit the profile of a merc, she's too nice.
