She wears her heart on her sleeve though, and at most times her emotions get the best of her even when she tries to hide them. How would your character respond to experiencing Stress? She would try to remain calm in order to keep others from panicking over the situation. She doesn't like to burden others with her own problems so she tries to fight them head-on and alone.

She also respects authorities, to an extent, but disagrees with many of their ways to reach the people and usually steers away from them to keep from being trouble.

She Is always kind on the first occasion of meeting and will decide by the end of the interaction whether she will remain that way. How does your character feel about Religion for themselves and other faiths? She has never fully believed in one faith but usually guides the religion found in the area to not stick out. She respects other religions as long as they are not demeaning and use some logic. Though she does not like the idea of Unionism, she knows it is the religion of Regalia so she respects and follows it. How does your character feel about the Arcane and Magical in the world? It's a helpful thing, but not necessary for everyone, should only be used by those who can handle the responsibility. She believes there are many uses for magic and sorcery to help others, but many would use it to their own advantage and that worries her. How does your character feel towards their family? She respects her family greatly but had a closer connection with her mother. Her father influenced Kalmia’s desire to travel rather than stay in her hometown, which led her to become a sailor. Both lived a very happy life but died while she was on her way to Regalia, so she renamed her ship after her mother, Ausonia, and her father is the name of her sword, Voron. What is your character the most proud of about themselves? Her courageousness and recklessness allow her to take chances that some fear or frown upon, allowing her to have the upper hand in many situations. She also values the leadership abilities she was taught by her parents that she uses in everyday life while sailing. What motivates your character to move forward and better their life? The mistreatment her people and others through the many years she has been alive, she wants to show how everyone is deserving of respect from others. She believes some races are not as harshly condemned in law as they need to be while others suffer greatly for the same crime. What is your character's biggest insecurity? Her ears and skin tone, she feels as though without her ears she would not be labeled and be treated normally. She will also normally wear a shawl or cloak to cover most of her skin when it's bright out since that's when her skin tone is most visible. What is your character's biggest fear? Not being able to fight back, she fears not being in control of situations that could cause damage to herself or others. She will usually try and take the reigns of any situation before someone else steps up. Other times, if the situation at hand doesn't involve any severity, she will allow it to resolve itself. Spoiler: Life Story Kalmia was born on the coast of Daen, in Caslin, where she lived with her mother, Calluna, and her father, Paeris. Her father worked on the ports of Caslin, loading and sailing ships with the lumber desired by other countries, while her mother wove in brocade fabrics for the wealthier people within the city. Kalmia was responsible for keeping the home in order, helping with chores since both her parents spent their days at full-time jobs to keep the family off the street. Kalmia’s mother would commonly give her lessons throughout the day in her native language, Plains Elven, so by a young age, Kalmia was able to read and write in the language as well as her cultural language, Modern Altalar. With her father gone during most of the seasons, he would send her back small gifts from the places he has traveled, usually a seashell or a small wooden craft. This helped spark Kalmia’s interest in other cultures and traveling the seas. When she got older, Kalmia began reading and studying the ways of sailors, and managing a ship. When she was around 19, Kalmia began traveling with her father as a boatswain and cook in order to gain some experience first hand. She did not neglect her studies while traveling overseas, memorizing maps, constellations, as well as storm clouds. Her dedication piqued the interest of the Captain who began teaching her himself in order to gain a new Quartermaster, who could run the ship while he was occupied. As Kalmia grew up, her leadership and sailing skills became enough to where she felt she was ready to take the next step and command her own crew. Her parents, of course, supported her decision and helped her in any way possible. Kalmia approached her Captain, the one who taught her most of everything she has learned, asking for help on starting a crew and buying a ship. To her surprise, the Captain was willing to sell his ship to her since he was becoming too old to travel around so much and was ready to settle. She eagerly accepted his offer and by the age of 35, she was finally the captain of her own ship. She began sailing with the small crew who stayed after the late Captain’s retirement. She shipped goods as well as people and traded items she found throughout her journeys, keeping a steady income for many years. While traveling, she made her way to Regalia for a shipment and decided to stay docked for a few days to restock on goods and supplies. One evening, she decided to take a walk and stretch her legs, putting on a hat and coat to cover her ears and pinkish complexion. She decided to walk through the port looking at the other ships, marveling at the different styles. Once she reached the end of the dock, she was approached by two people, a young female Yanar and an older scruffy male Alior. The Alior looked at Kalmia up and down before clearing his throat and began speaking. The Alior, named Terok, explained that he was an architect that was in need of a ship to travel between lands to find the best quality items for his next project. He then proposed that if Kalmia was willing to help, the young Yanar, Celaena, was an experienced sailor and would help free of charge, but still be allowed to study botany while on the journey. Kalmia, once she thought about the two people who had just approached her and how they would be of use, sighed and agreed to their terms, allowing them to board her ship. The trio then began their journey and have been together for a few years now and have become close friends, sailing from country to country with no end to their adventure in sight.
Although this is not a required change, Altalar gain an additional 10 proficiency points, allowing them to exceed the 60 point limit, thanks to their Will of the Ages racial ability. Just pointing it out incase you missed it. As well as this, please mention what tier of ship you have from your Maritime Knowledge, as well as giving it a name, under the Special Traits/Spells/Mutations section of your character app. Your total value is slightly off, as it should be 28 rather than 30 (as your Athletics Training value is halved when determining physical stat). Additionally, please include the calculation showing how you came to this value. For example: +5 (from Unarmed Combat Skill) +5 (from Thin Blade Combat Skill) +3 (from Athletic Training halved rounded-up) +15 (from Maritime Knowledge) = 28 This is not a compliant skin colour for an Oberron Altalar, as they typically have green-hued skin. Please edit this to account for such. Each of these responses feels a little short. Please try to keep each answer to a minimum of two sentences. If you're struggling with this, consider using the core list option, as it will require considerably less effort on your end for much the same result. Please make these edits in Purple and tag me when they're complete @Annie_Short!
