you can't play on broken strings (healing request) - Oizys - 01-08-2017
Oizys is hoping to cure her health defect: Born with a Heart Valve defect, will cause a heart murmur throughout entire life. Battle stats will be affected [-1 speed, -1 endurance] I'm not using a VOTG pass for this - according to the Q&A thread, it's possible to ask a God for healing without using one, so I thought I'd give it a shot! Just thought I'd throw a couple of things here about why Ozzy's trying to get healed, not sure if it will affect her chances at all but figured I'd put them anyway so you guys know this isn't just out of the blue, that it's a considered decision and it's not me just not wanting the character development of a health defect, it's actually a progression of her character development :D - She was born with the defect, it wasn't obtained through carelessness on her part or anything. This has caused her to keep it a closely guarded secret from her family, especially her father Reginald who she idolises/fears. Shown here - 'For a moment, she fears he will be able to see the Thing inside her; that he will sense her weakness like a snake senses fear, and that he will condemn her for it. There is nothing Father cannot do - it would not surprise the gargoyle if he could see her weak, pathetic little heart beating in an otherwise perfect chest, if he could detect that tiny, hideous flaw that plagues the young goddess.' - It's affected her throughout her life, filling her with shame to the extent that it's forged her whole personality - because she sees weakness in herself and loathes it so much, she condemns it in other people as her way of coping, which is a large part of why she's prone to evilness, bullying and general bitchery. Exhibited here in her utter contempt for what she perceived as Bathsheba's weakness. In getting it fixed, she'd gain more understanding and tolerance which would be great development for her! - It's also prevented her doing things, such as here where she can't retaliate to Kid due to it; 'It bubbles upwards from her fragile little heart, and she has to bow her head to choke it back down, down, down. The gargoyle curses, dismayed at the fact the boy may now think she is bowing to him, and her cold grey eyes flash in disgust at her own weakness.' Also here where she can't attack the griffins any more due to it and ends up at ther mercy. This is largely why she's so keen to get herself cured, in case she's ever prevented from doing something even more important such as protecting herself/loved ones. - Finally, an OOC point - Ozzy has the unfortunate distinction of being the first foal in 3 real years to be born with a stat-affecting health defect AND absolutely no magic/mutations whatsoever. All other foals (even all other Frostball-born hybrids like she was) with stat-affecting health have been born with at least one magic or mutation to somewhat lessen the blow. I've built her up and played her from a character with literally less than nothing, so this is my 'treat' to her aha ;D It hopefully shows that I'm not just trying this because I don't want to play an unhealthy character/don't persist with none-magical characters, because she's one of the most unluckily-rolled foals in Helovia's history but is still my second most active character and has been played for just shy of a RL year. This 'rags to riches' tale is a large part of my plans for her x) If she does roll to have a God attend, I'd love for it to be either Sparky or Moony, as I figure they're more likely to give her a harder quest and I really want this potential quest to further her development :) Thanks <3 @Mythical Request RE: you can't play on broken strings (healing request) - Random Event - 01-17-2017 Do you detect a slight tension in the air? Is it growing colder or...or is that a breeze? Was there a light in the sky just now? Some marker that something is about to happen; a heralding of a figure about to appear? But no .. The longer you stand, the longer you wait, you realize that it is only the pumping of blood in your own ears that you hear. Ozzy may post again next season if she wishes. |
