DESCRIPTION:
→ Breathtaking. That was definitely a word that has been used to describe Raina, though not because of her body or her beauty. Sure, she is beautiful, but even now it is hard for some to get passed her red eyes, the eyes of an Ishvallan. The history of Amestris connected with those eyes make them constant reminders of the hope that lies in the present for history to never repeat itself. Raina’s white hair is long, going down to her lower back, straight and billowing behind her in just the slightest of breeze. When she looks at you, her piercing eyes seem to look right through you, thin lips set in a line on her face, corners of her mouth down slightly.

She rarely smiles. Being half Amestrian, her skin is porcelain and fair, though by now it is blemished by the scars of missions and battles. When she speaks, you see the hint of her bright pearly white teeth, straight with what could be the slightest bit of an overbite, though not noticeable. Raina is slim, but muscular, keeping herself in shape by running and sparring. Being a dog of the military, Raina rarely gets to express her individuality when it comes to her style. She is nearly almost seen in the standard issue military uniform. When it is not needed, she takes those chances to dress herself up a bit, liking dresses and hills when appropriate. When she speaks, her inflections do not hide her emotion. Her voice rings like a bell, but her emotion gives away her feelings.



PERSONALITY:
→ Loud, happy, sweet...these are not words to describe Raina Young. In fact, she could seem the exact opposite of this. Due to her own history and that of the Ishvallan people (from which half of her came), she is very prideful in what she does. Though it is still thought by many Ishvallans that Alchemy is blasphemy looked down upon by their god, Raina believes that in this day and time, nearly a century after the Civil War, it is not an abomination. There are others who are performing it as well, she knows. Why she has such pride in her Ishvallan heritage, but rarely speaks of her Amestrian one can be linked back to her own history. It is something that she never talks about, not believing that anyone else would even really care about her thoughts and feelings. She learned as a child not to bother people with her selfish wants, desires, or problems, but to see them and their solutions out on her own.

Don’t let the strong front and stubbornness fool you though, Raina is still just like any other woman. She does get emotional, perhaps even more than the normal person. More often than not, she takes what people say about her or two her to heart. She thinks she can tell when a person doesn’t like her, just by looking at them, though she really never seems to give most a chance to prove her wrong about that subject. Needless to say, Raina has always been quite the loner. That’s one thing she dislikes about the military, that while it gives her a chance to prove herself, she has to work with others. Obviously, she’s not a people person. Teamwork isn’t her forte by any means. She has, on many occasions, gotten herself and those she was supposed to be working with in trouble, not just with their commanding officers, but trouble that could have led to death.


LOVE:
→ Ishvallan People, Alchemy, Sparring, Being Alone, Nighttime

HATE:
→ Crowds, teamwork, the word "no", other women, her own fair skin

DEEPEST SECRET:
→ What you put here is NOT something you blab to every character you come across, so if you, for example, put in "Fears black cats" as your deepest secret... and tell every bum you come across "Hey, I'm scared of black cats!" Then I will smack you, put you on my 'asses to be haunted' list AND delete this section from your profile for payback. (Delete if you don't have one)

IDOL:
→ This can be either another character on the site, or a historical character. You also cannot have yourself as an idol, since that's just kind of stupid. (Delete if you don't have one)



HISTORY:
→ Three paragraphs minimum of your character's background. Be sure to include how your character became a ALCHEMIST etc. Try to steer clear of extreme drama and trauma. It is WAY too popular and rarely played out well. Once in a while, I'll accept a well written tragedy, but most of the time... no. Characters don't need horrific histories in order to be interesting. Keep the child abuse, rape, family deaths, etc out of here. They get old fast. Must be at least 450 words.




ALCHEMIC/ALKAHESTRIC ABILITY:
→ This is where you will write about your character's special ability is in detail. (For your transmutation equipment application you can copy and paste this section to put under "Special Abilities")




TRIVIA:
→ Anything else you want to add? Random trivia, information on an illness or disability your character has, etc.
→ Be sure to add what language they speak in the color they speak it in and to also list that as part of your signature.




ALIAS:
→ Your online alias. Just put down ONE name, please, and use this name in the c-box so there's no confusion over who you are.

OTHER CHARACTERS:
→ Who else do you play? If this is your first character, say so.

CREATOR'S COMMENTS:
→ Do you have anything to say yourself? As long as it doesn't sound stupid, you can put anything in here really. Just no autobiographies about your last journey to the toilet, please, because seriously, NO ONE CARES.

FACE CLAIM:

Code:

[b]ROSARIO VAMPIRE[/b]/[i]Moka Akashiya[/i]

CUSTOM RANK:
→ Insert the customized rank name that you wish for your character here. It can be anything within reason. If you are claiming a canon character (like Head of Central Head Quarters for example) usually 'Head of Central HQ' would be your custom rank. This would replace where is says: 'Pending.'

OFFICIAL TITLE:
→ Insert your official Alchemist's title here - such as 'Full Metal' or 'Flame' - you do not need to be a State Alchemist to have this title, this is more for instant recognition of abilities, and the like. Also a chance for you to get creative! If you don't create one for yourself, we'll do it for you and believe you me, we can come up with some awesome titles...
