Character Name: Lexxie the TinkererProfession: Engineer / Scrapper / HolomancerApparent age: 18Hair: Blue to turquoise, with black streaks here and there. Generally, it's pulled back and in a hurriedly fastened ponytail. Bangs usually get in the way of her work, so they're fastened and bundled up too! Very rarely does it ever stray efficient style and if the situation did call for a fancy makeover, Lexxie would almost undoubtedly miss the queues to do so.Skin: A bright white with slight grey spots on her forehead and back.Eyes: Big blue liquid eyes with lashes that have a natural appearance of mascara.Appearance details: The tops of her ears are extremely sensitive, thus a small covering over them is something Lexxie considers a 'functional, yet ascetically pleasing' necessity.Religious beliefs/philosophy: "The inner workings of the Eternal Alchemy are beyond the complexities we can comprehend... But we should never stop trying to!"
OOC Intro:
What can I say about Lexxie? She's a little firecracker. When first starting in GW2, I thought of the Engineer class as being a little silly. It was a hard sell for me: in a game of fantasy, here's a class that creates mechanized turrets and bombs. My first attempt at the class during beta was a Norn, which I really disliked. I didn't understand the way the class fell into place along with the other classes. Support class? What the heck was that? Thus, it was a long while before I ever created an Engineer. At that point, my love for Asura began. I'd already created my Necro, Kievaa, but she wasn't a bright fun colorful character this one would be. I immediately fell in love with Lexxie, and shortly thereafter created a Guardian with some of the same facial characteristics: Lexxie's older (in story, that is) sister, Nalla. Once while sitting in Queensdale, I was pulled into a very impromptu roleplay... I hadn't ever even RPed in-game before. But, I quickly cobbled together a personality of a seemingly scatter-brained brilliant inventor. At the time, I RPed her as a traveling merchant selling her gadgets from a limitless magic bag (cause otherwise where would she keep her wares!) Magic bag notwithstanding, I liked the idea of her having a bit of awkwardness, and I wound up incorporating it in her story throughout the years. Below are a few key snippets of her life, before and after the accident that changed it forever.
Brief RolePlay Bio:
While Nalla was always the stalwart older sibling, Lexxie was always getting into trouble, with her insatiable curiosity. She quickly developed an independence that would take her on journeys far away from home. She found it incredibly easy to lend her remarkable engineering talents to other races, eventually catching the eye of a few Charr which she holds in dear regard. However, things changed when she was summoned to partake in a mysterious experiment orchestrated by her old krewe-mate, Kievva. The results of said incident caused the young Asura's mind to come unhinged from its once amazingly solid foundation, and while Lexxie is still a brilliant inventor, she has great difficulty staying on topic, expressing herself and generally socializing. Her mental issues notwithstanding, Lexxie is a sweetheart and outstanding behind a console, under a Charr mechanism, or working on holo matrices. She arbors no ill will to what happened... since she sadly has no memory of the events. These past events, involving Lexxie, are being chronicled in the short story: "Reassembly Required"
Recent history:
Lexxie is awfully well-traveled and knowledgeable for one who doesn't communicate well. What she lacks in diplomacy when speaking, she makes up for in charm and ingenuity. A Charr recently took a liking to her, and has almost become a guardian (of sorts), protecting Lexxie upon her travels.
Personality:
Lexxie is sweet, if not blunt. Often struggling with her speech, the words that do come out tend to be broken and out of order.
Notable relationships:
After the accident, Lexxie never had a romantic relationship. It's unknown to her if such a thing happened beforehand. Since she's spent quite a bit of time recently with the Charr, she'd be most likely attracted to their kind, if she gave such romantic things credence.
Favored alcoholic beverage:
Lexxie never drinks the stuff. It's yucky!
Favored food: Fruit is amazing! Apples being her favorite. She's been known to spend a bit too much time in Queensdale under apple trees.
Favored weather or season: When the leaves fall, Lexxie has a some connection from her past to the season. While it's not completely lucid, it garners feelings of peace. For this reason, it's her favorite.
Favored color: Brown & Blue
