Atiqua Cifica

Your name is ATIQUA CIFICA and you are a BUSY BODY. You are 3 sweeps old and you enjoy BOATS and MECHANICS. While you have clearly better things to do, you find it helpful to MAKE LISTS. And then of course, MAKE PLANS about your lists. Such as what to do first. In fact you have a list about what lists to make. It all might seem TEDIOUS but you like the ORDER set out by the lists. You also have a knack for PUTTING THINGS WHERE THEY BELONG. To you anyway. Things include trolls.

You spend your days FIXING what might be broken. Or not so broken, and you usually end up making FAKES of popular items for a quick buck. You try to hide the fact what you make is fake and sometimes it works and sometimes it BLOWS UP. You don't look for fights, but rather for ALLIES. Your goals of filling the quadrants PALE in comparison with your wish to one day be a CAPTAIN of your own ship. You plan to SAIL and set FIRE TO THE RAIN. You're not sure about the last part, but it would be great cover for a DARING ESCAPE. Especially given that SEADAD hovers by your side and doesn't want you getting into trouble. You like him well enough, but the MESS he makes is ANNOYING. And there he goes again, making another mess.

What will you do?

Personality: Know it all busy body. That sums up Atiqua pretty well. She is a troll's troll in her opinion and your life will no doubt be better once she's a part of it. Days spent pouring over books, nights spent organizing those books, she strives for perfection even if she herself is imperfect. She tries, a troll would know she tries, but she often misses the fact she falls short. Not looking to the big picture, she looks to the details, to the nitty gritty things most might miss. She aims for perfection but she occasionally misses... and then misses the fact she misses. Ending in a mess which Atiqua will spend her next day 'fixing'.

Never giving up, nearly never backing down from a challenge Atiqua charges into things full force. Problem? No, there isn't. There is only a thing to overcome. Polite as she can be, she tries to get on the good side of others and rub elbows with who she can. It can't hurt right? Cuddling up she's not adverse to leading someone on with the quadrants, though she aims to fill all of her's, (with only the best naturally). She deserves the best, is the best, and will show you and your lusus just how much better she is. Just.. ignore her lusus, he's drunk or something. On air. Yes. Just ignore him okay.

Fiddling with mechanics, with anything that can be taken apart and then put back together, she wants to figure out how things work. She wants to one day, get aboard a ship and then systematically take it apart just to put it back together. Her habit of breaking things just to fix them is not always accidental, but when it comes to things like model ships, engines, robots, she tries her best not to break them while taking them apart. Over the years she's slowly built up a modest collection of model ships, some handmade others stolen or won. Ships are fascinating to her, and she would like to have her own fully functionally ship one day. Not a space ship, but a ship ship. Because while impractical in a lot of ways, in her young mind it's simply cool.

As far as blood goes she is very much set in terms of wanting to uphold the system simply because it's a system. Yeah, it sucks at times, but without a system it could be a lot worse in her opinion. She might push her own limits with her blood, but the second she feels that those of higher caste might shoot her down, she'll back off and away. That doesn't mean however, that she's not going to push those of lower caste around. That's just how things are supposed to work in the system.

As for a job- She pirates things. Makes copies of anything and everything she can. Convincing fakes to sell to low bloods. She's not about to push her luck with high bloods. She's really not (on part due to the fact her rather 'helpless' lusus tends to shy from fighting and avoid more aggressive individuals). Seadad, (she never mastered saying coelacanth and just went with 'sea') tends to be lazy and disorganized, bumping into things, he occasionally tries to mimic other lusus but uh- He's a bit dim for pulling it off well. Atiqua takes more care of him than he does her now. 

Strengths: -Confident: Atiqua thinks she is good at whatever she does. If she comes up short she will ignore the remark, assessing that next time she will prove them wrong. Failures are met with grins of an accepted challenge as that is what she views life as. A constant challenge in where her goal is to win. Failure is not an option. No, she will try try try and try again until she is perfect in which case then she will considering that challenge won. Larger challenges, ones that show her as weak or that do risk her life make her hesitate slightly, but she will still attempt them. She believes very deeply that she can do anything those of her caste are capable of. -Classy: Keeping it formal Atiqua strives to not offend. While politeness might not win points with some trolls it can make them think you're not a threat, something Atiqua is MORE than happy to be seen as. She will be prim and proper as best she can because the trolls it does matter with? It helps, a lot in her opinion. Aside from it keeping under radar at times, by not giving into 'cravings' for blood or violence she's more in control and can focus better. Sadly, when she gets over upset, her class act can't always hold up, and she can go into some rather colorful vitriol. -Organized: Thing have a proper place. Going in hand with her manners, things need a structure. By giving herself one, she is at ease, able to work efficiently and in a timely fashion. She knows she can get shit done, and in having a system things just get done better. From her home to how she views people things go in boxes and those boxes go in boxes and she will organize as needed. Her box style categorizing does make her a bit linear at times and can give her difficulty when she needs to put thing into two mental boxes but they fit in both or none or goddamn she's got to make a new category for this shit. Flaws: -Arrogant: She can do that. Excuse you if you think otherwise. Kindly back the fuck off she's got this. In thinking she can do anything? She thinks more often than not she's the absolute shit. She keeps a lot of this to herself and does not directly say it if it puts her above one with a higher rank. She'll show off her work when she can, expecting praise. Don't have any? Obviously you're just jealous. Deal with it. She'd better than you and she's out to prove it. Need someone's help? You need her. Need a problem solved? She can do that. When told she's not needed or no Atiqua silently fumes thinking colorful jabs to take at others. -Tunnel Vision: Atiqua thinks in boxes and those boxes are labeled and color coded. Things go in boxes. Not baskets, not bin, but boxes. To word it differently, she fails to grasp that things don't always fit neatly into her world. She will do anything and everything to set things into 'place' in her logic, ranging from ignoring factors, making new attributes, or generally missing the whole point of things. If she's set on a task she might fail to see how it will affect others or what else she's missing. Hard work is good, but she takes it to the point where she lets it distract her from what might really matter. -Ignorant: For all she toots her horn and acts like she is going to know things, Atiqua is rather clueless to certain things. Nothing in specific mind, but small factors. Glaringly obvious facts are hard for her to miss, but subtle hints? Little clues? Over her head more often than not. This applies to some, but not all social cues, (usually ones telling her to back off or down with her 'willingness' to help).

'Seadad'

Clumsy, useless, loving and rather forgetful. He flies around on his many fins and spends a good chunk of his time needing to be reminded that Atiqua just cannot reach that high and she needs him to come back down so she can talk to him without yelling at the sky. He tends to accidentally bump into thinks, knocking them over, breaking them- and then having Atiqua clean up and fix things. It's not something he does on purpose so much as the fact he's fat, and a fat flying lusus is not the most coordinated thing in the world. As a result she became a bit of a neat freak, focusing on ways to minimize mess and accidents.It's also what has driven her to be so damn cocky in her work. She can fix it, just look at her house! (It is 'fixed' like the way you stick ducttape on everything fixed. She's actually made repairs that are not ducttape but, it's what she's used when she can't really do things that require more troll power. She's just a kid!)

He tries to do right by her, and help her in his own, way, carrying her about and acting and a mode of transportation. Plus, he is very good at teaching her how to hide. Mostly as he does that a lot when it comes of wild lusi. When another troll or lusus threatens Atiqua he's quick to put himself between them, yet rarely will attack. He attacks only if she becomes injured, and unless that happens, he will act as a shield. He's never had her focus on attacking things, but rather talking with others, defending herself, make herself seem like she's not worth fighting. He's of the mind that you can be as strong as you want, but your best weapon is the one you keep hidden.

He's taught her to try and be polite, to keep her best qualities hidden and to not get negative attention. Overall, he adores Atiqua and wants to see her happy, and she begrudgingly wants to make him proud. Thankfully, he'd pretty much always proud of her, even when she messes up.
