Tibumeru: Alualane

★ Character Description !
Name ;; Alualane
Gender ;; Female
Appears ;; 17
Actual Age;; 23
Personality ;; Typically Alualane is shy around new people, but shows it by putting on a stoic face to give off an apathetic and mysterious feel. Unfortunately, this usually causes her to come off as apathetic, cold, and aloof. People who know her better know that this is mostly just a tough guy act. She doesn’t like talking about herself much and will avoid talking about feelings whenever possible because she sees it as a weakness. She is a bit of a bleeding heart so she keeps herself guarded most the time. However, she holds her friends very close to her heart and fears she leaves herself too vulnerable around them. Since she doesn’t talk about things very often, this often leads to her holding grudges in which the “offender” isn’t even aware of any wrongdoing.

Some friends see her as the “big sister” type since she will come to the rescue of anyone in trouble without any hesitation. She is smart and enjoys taking things apart to figure out how they work. She has been known to disappear for days simply because she got caught up in a project and didn’t think about leaving her workspace. At any given opportunity, she will try and flaunt her smarts or “know-how” and very actively tries to help less educated individuals simply because she can. However, she grows very impatient if the student doesn’t pick up on learning after the first try.

Hobbies ;; Alua enjoys collecting small, and especially foreign objects. She sometimes wanders to the beaches to find what has washed up. Though this has turned into a bit of a hoarding problem, she will try to fit random pieces together to see what she can invent. However, she doesn’t have a very high success rate of this and tends to keep her creations private.
She enjoys the thrill of hunting, but will only do so when necessary. Sometimes she tries to challenge her skills and hunting prowess (when people aren’t looking) though she has set very strict limitations for herself that she will only attack fish to eat. However, sometimes she will cut nets of fishing ships on the grounds that the humans are gluttonous and should rely more on the fruit of the land more than what is in the sea as this is Tibumeru territory.

History ;; For a while, she lived with a small group of Tibumeru in some sunken ruins turned into a secluded city. Due to its remote location, it took a while for the effects of the war to reach them but it eventually became imminent that they would have to prepare themselves and take sides. Now a black sheep, as her opinion was outnumbered, she became frustrated and left to live on her own. Though she has been gone for a while now, some of the culture still sticks and she is very stubborn in changing her habits.

Bad Habits, or Specific Traits ;; Since she lived for a long time in a very remote area that didn’t see a lot of visitors, she has a bit of a strange accent that most people can’t identify. She also has some strange habits that are left over from the culture that was established there. Usually it’s not anything big, but just small things that make it obvious she’s foreign. Sometimes she will refer to something with the wrong word, or avoid addressing something directly because she doesn’t know how to refer to it. Occasionally when frustrated, she will curse in her native tongue though she tries to avoid speaking it.
Though it normally doesn’t show, she has a bit of a short temper. She tries to keep it under control but often it gets the better of her. When she is getting upset, she gets very quiet and she tends to purse her lips. Unless you push certain subjects, or step far enough out of line, she will never raise her voice out of anger.
Alua is very respectful of nature and the balance of life, and is very much a believer in “hunt or be hunted”. She can seem harsh, though she will lend a hand if needed, but ultimately believes that one needs to stand on their own feet, especially during these troubling times.
She tends to be most active during nighttime and early morning, and is more relaxed around the afternoon. It’s quite common to see her lazing around in the sun around mid-day.

Legend ;; Reluctant to believe in a divine entity, she prefers the scientific explanation where the species evolved over many, many years. However, she does believe that the species is superior to others and has “evolutionary rights” due to their “super-human” traits.

Theme Song ;; Cult Logic – Miike Snow
Glory Box - Portishead

Extra ;;
+ She is a mix of a Bluntnose sixgill shark (Hexanchus griseus) and a lion fish (Pterois miles).
+ Her ear fins usually sit against her head and are unseen because of how she wears her hair, but they stand up if she is irked and secrete venom if she feels threatened. However, the poison has no effect on sharks (or Tibumeru in extension)
+ Her markings were made by cutting designs into her skin with a knife and then patching it with fish skin that will leave discoloration. This is a practice left over from the city she lived in and it signifies maturity or successes in battle. As the years pass, it’s tradition to add more. Very old members of the community are sometimes completely covered in markings. Since she no longer lives there, she doesn’t practice this anymore, but will sometimes add to her markings as badges for accomplishments.
+ Her hunting style is most often to confuse the prey (sometimes by blowing jets of water) before striking in a quick and effective strike. This is also reflected in how she fights other Tibumeru, though she tries to avoid it.

★ RP Sample !
A shallow sigh of contented relaxation passed her mildly chapped lips as she dug her bare toes deeper into the warm sand. All in all, the day had been successful. Her pale blue eyes glanced over at the bag of metallic treasures she had salvaged from the beach and she gave herself a quick nod of approval. With a smug smile and a head filled with quadratic formulas and other important sounding equations, she lay back and turned her head toward the sky.

The sun was still shining optimistically, but on the horizon it was easy to see dark clouds rolling in, heavy with rain. It would reach the shore by morning. Alualane sat up morosely, her mood dampened by the thought of bad weather. The sun felt nice against her skin and she didn’t want it to end; she even went as far as driving thoughts of the sea temporarily from her mind, not wanting to return home until she was almost completely dried out. She was saddened knowing that this calm would end but it was an inevitability she was all too familiar with. Another sigh escaped her lungs, this one more melancholy than the last. With this, she turned her attention back to the crashing waves and spindrift, lowering her guard to the dangers the shore held.
