Hello!
I was once a member os FWC before now, known then as Yasumi, I am now Yas! I am good friends with the renowned Throndir, have been for awhile now, and it's what keeps bringing me back onto the forums :)

I am a student attending the Northwest College of Art and Design, working on my BFA in visual communication. I plan to get my degrees and become a comic sci-fi/fantasy author and illustrator. I do art in pen, ink, charcoal, and graphite proficiently, and many other medium as well. I love art! Ever since I can remember, it has been the main focus of the field I desire to achieve. I also like to write, and though I know I'm not the best, this girl's got a little bit of skill ;}

Spoiler

I'm just going to call Gii a male XP

[close]

Giinora was nervous as he made his way through the maze of corridors and rooms. What he really wanted to do was make his way to the entrance hall, but that would have to wait. Trying to remember where he was he begins to backtrack.

Let's see, I went forward, took a left, and passed the stairs leading to the second floor. Which means I need to take another right and go down the stairs.

This all was logical thinking, and Gii was sure he had the directions right, but there hadn't yet been enough time to familiarize himself with the whole outlay of the mansion.

Just as he rounded the corner the lights flickered and went out.

Giinora stumbled and quickly grabbed for the flashlight at his belt, it wasn't easy with the gloves that Steelna made him, but they were made well enough that it wasn't too difficult either. He flashed around the hall, and knew he was lost... Or at least thought he was.

Reggie seemed almost to wince as he fumbled with the light. Something had incredibly upset him, and in a moment it was obvious that there was good reason.

Steelna hesitantly looked out the window, there was no mistaking a gunshot. From the west wing it was difficult to see the gate, but it was clear there was a lot of commotion. She watched intently as figures moved back and forth through the rain, at this distance it was hard to tell who was there. She sat back down, exasperated, and watched as Reggie looked over Darline. Not long after, Sophie crashed into the room looking unusually disheveled.

"Doctor!" Sophie exclaimed upon reaching Darline's room. "Eugene is hurt..." She quickly explained. "I'm not sure exactly what happened, but, he's bleeding...Noelle suggested all mansion staff go to the main entrance hall, which is also where Eugene is."

Listening carefully

"Steelna, maybe you could stay with Darline..?"

There was no time to respond, Sophie and Reggie bolted from the room to help Sebastion. She had not really spoken with the boy, but he had always been a stable and ready hand. She hoped he was ok.

This was all so unheard of at the mansion, feeling slightly panicked Steelna motioned for Gii to come nearer. "You must go to the basement and retrieve my knives", they are in the trunk, it's a bit heavy, and you'll need my key. They both are in my room, take this flashlight too." She smiled as Giinora nodded and began to walk away. "GII! Grab my smokes too, and don't dawdle!"

Level Progression
Level 1

Staff, family, and close friends all know the existence Steelna, though I'd say mainly family and close friends only know the reason why. Together her and Giinora are kept inside Mansion grounds (which is pretty generous, considering.)

Steelna is of medium height, probably 5 '8, 147 lbs. Her hair is an almost tabby-like color and is half shaved, half braided. She has small horns above her brows, she has yellow owl-like eyes, and definitely sees better at night. Her left arm is that of a human and her right is more reptilian, though she has fingers. Her torso, and legs are normal, despite the fact that she has blotches of scales running up and down her body.


--Steelna knew her research was taking too long, which is perhaps why she was in such a delirious joy. After 30 years of theories and failures, she was done.

She had devised a way to create clone-like, individual animals, with a Genome solution and subject DNA...

Only problem... It exploded due to the build-up of high toxins in the lab.

The Jamesons happened to be in the area.. Fishing on the lake, about 2 miles away from Steelna's private lot, when they saw smoke. Normally they'd just shrug it off and think nothing of it, but they heard the howls of a woman.. and decided to help.

The explosion had contained The Genome solution and all the DNA, from the first failed test to the last and successful test.

Once there they saw the transformation begin..

Her transformation was excruciating..horns came first, bones breaking to deconstruct the human in her, skin ripping to reveal two 4 inch horns. Her eyes were destroyed in the accident, and they came next. The burned peeling of Steelna's lids crumbled off and in an instant were replaced by the eyes of an owl. Where the acids had burn her to the bone... Her skin was replaced by scales, and soon her horns had scales too.

After 45 minutes of terror, Steelna quit foaming and convulsing, and just lay... Shuddering in absolute horror.

The Jamesons didn't know what to think, other than to help the poor woman, and they took her home. (Which is where she made me!!!)


To this day she wears a hollowed mask made from the skull of a mythical creature (also known as the Rapteree Diur) that she had battled years before. This creature is a bird of prey, with a long dangerous beak and claws that can break through any bone. Instead of feathers it sports thick hoarse hair, and it's large eyes take everything in.

Watching Masters of Horror: Imprint

=D

Giinora squatted at the end of the four poster bed, patiently whittling away at the oak. Most people hated when it did so, but not little miss Darline, no. She enjoyed having something new to look at, being cooped up in this room. Steelna lovingly stroked the young lady's hair, and gave a small start at the thunder overhead.


Giinora, and as always, Steelna Verlicsa, were left to accompany miss Darline on this day. All of the mansion's staff had seemingly just stopped in their tracks, and it was no wonder! Giinora gave her counterpart a meaningful sideways glance as the lights flickered, they both were thinking the same thing. This storm was nothing short of peculiar. The rain pounded on the windows with a fury that had the windows shuddering, and never before had the two seen the lights behave so erratically. There was little to be said about the terrible booming ahead.. Gii sighed, the mansion always had seemed so impenetrable...

Gii reached down and pulled something from what looked like it's sleeve cuffs, and motioned for Steelna to take it. Darline groaned, and grasped for the leaf in the strange woman's hands. Handing it to her, they both watched silently as the girl chewed and sucked on the leaf. It wasn't enough to cure her, but it was enough to ease her pains. Just as she had swallowed and fallen back asleep, Reggie -looking rather disturbed- slowly entered the room.

Sometime I'll go ahead and make an actual floor plan of the Jameson Estate on my spare time.

Can't wait XD

[Fast Hero]

Giinora Ayahuascii : (Gee-nora Ai-ya-hoowas-kai)

Nickname: Gii

My character is a result of a mad-creature-scientist living in the basement of the mansion, who as my counterpart and creator, carries me with her wherever she goes. Her name is Steelna Verlicsa, she is a secret the family keeps from the world, and I am hers.

I am a living, walking, flower. About 3 feet tall, my petals are pink and orange, vines protrude from behind me and I use them to climb and or hold onto my counterpart. I do not speak, due to the lack of vocal cords. I eat and digest plant food, as a human would, through my mouth and stomach, but am able to choose if I photosynthesize. I am engineered to be closely related to the moon-Lilly and am derived from the wings of climbing vines. Though able to propagate , I am seedless.

I am a natural at growing other plants, and understand their needs, though I cannot communicate directly. My body is very useful for tea, healing small wounds, and all-natural bath cleansing. (Take a bath with me! =D). I am very charismatic, and I love to make things out of random objects. It annoys the family when I make decorations from the furniture  ;D

In contrast to my lack of offense, my defense (and ego) is that of a gilded knight...
When attacked, spores release from my glands that blind and choke the attacker.
