Character Bios:
Zelah-Amenti is a rather quiet, reserved, serious, and studious young woman. She has a sensitivity and appreciation for the finer and deeper things of life; the beauties of nature, music, art, and literature. The people who mean the most to her are those who can offer her intellectual companionship. It is only when she is among those who understand her deeper nature that she can really be herself. The experience of having her remarks taken lightly or belittled, particularly during the early years of your life, has caused her to keep her thoughts and feelings to herself. She does not express herself spontaneously when conversing with others; hence other people often regard her as being aloof, and even unfriendly. Her difficulty in putting her deeper thoughts and feelings into words leads to problems in more intimate associations.She is rather easily hurt or offended, and at such times can withdraw into a mood, and may not even speak to others. Aside from these points, she is a thoughtful, analytical person, and knows her own mind, even though she may not speak it. She is very conscientious and competent in all that she does. She takes all responsibilities seriously, sometimes leading to worry and mental depression. Despite all of her weaknesses, she is self-sufficient and capable, is good at directing the efforts of others (when they actually listen to her), as she has good business judgment and the natural understanding of people. She appreciates settled, accumulative conditions, and a high standard of living. All of her frustrations and repressed opinions and skills come out when she duels, making her a fierce and surprizingly ruthless opponent. She loves the game like nothing else in life, thus her decision to abandon the 'real world' for that of strategy, luck, and the deck.
Appearance- Average height, a little skinnier and bustier than normal, a bit homely of face. She hides her curves under loose t-shirts and long pants or skirts, in plain blues, greens, black, and white. Her brown hair is generally too dry, and is kept pulled back in a ponytail or braid most days. Zelah rarely wears jewelry, or dresses up, but when she does, people stop and stare. No one would think that she could actually be pretty...
Akila has a very idealistic but passive outlook on life. She desires culture and all the refinements of life, but is inclined to live in her dreams. Although she would like to do many things, procrastination undermines her accomplishment and success in life. She does not like to create issues and will do anything to avoid a conflict. Making decisions is difficult for her without the support and approval of others. She a very sensitive nature, and feels much that she does not understand. Your feelings are easily hurt, like Zelah's, and also withdraws and becomes uncommunicative. Although she desires the friendship and association of others, she finds it difficult to express her thoughts through the spoken word, and others find her hard to get to know. It is much more natural for her to express her deeper thoughts in writing. She often indulges in rich foods that lack nutrition, and partially due to this, has many health problems. She found a kindred spirit in Zelah, who tought her to play 'duel-monsters' while she was in counceling, recovering from a bout of clinical depression. She loves it, though she procastinates about getting serious about dueling until Zelah invites her to live the game.
Appearance- Short, and heavily built, with a sweet and shy face. Her hair is brown, but sleeker and thinner than Zelah's, and very much longer. She wears blouses and skirts, or button-up shirts and slacks, and never really bothers about whether things are casuall or formal, because she's always in-between. Any jewelry she wears is turquise, her favourite being a ring of her mother's, given to her before her mom turned drunk.
Sitra is a hard worker with a meticulous sense of detail. She has a great deal of patience and independence, and can be relied upon to complete your undertakings. She are stable, trustworthy, homeloving, and logical in practical matters, but rather unresponsive to suggestions from others. She resists change, and really doesn't have a large amount of ambitions, visions, or imagination. It frustrates the expression of her softer, feminine qualities in that she finds it difficult to express the depth of her feelings for those she loves. It limits her to practical matters of the day, filling her life with detailed routine, hard work, and monotony, which is reflected in her steady and strategy-based dueling. Of course, that was rather disrupted when her usually quiet, withdrawn friends (seemingly) suddenly decided to drag her into a strange world of alliances and enemies, honor and betreyal, losses and victory... teaching her to play a little differently.
Appearance- Tall and serious looking, with black hair in a french braid or bun, and green-hazel eyes behind wire-rimmed glasses. She is most often seen in a baby-tee, knee-long skirt, and long coat, accessorized with simple gold bracelets and a pencil behind one ear. Sitra is (or was) surprizingly popular, and has a few shirts autographed by the school's foot-ball team and such.
Zanakht is of a highly sensitive, idealistic, and intuitive nature. He could be very expressive and creative in the arts, music, or drama, but has never really 'gotten into' them. There is a definate lack of practicality and business judgment in him which limits his success. He can be deeply influenced through the thoughts and feelings of others without realizing just how he is being affected. Others are inclined to take advantage of his generosity and friendliness; thankfully, Menkaura doesn't often let them. Moods are a problem for Zanakht, as he can be highly inspired one minute, and the next become quite irritated and annoyed over some ill-timed remark or lack of consideration on the part of someone close to him. He suffers through disturbed thoughts, poor memory, and the occational breakdown. He had never even known much about the card game 'battle monsters' until he sensed a change in his normally logical sister, Sitra. She drew him into the game with their friends and her, buying a powerful deck for him, and leaving him to learn to use it, or be left behind.
Menkaura has a very independent nature, yet is friendly, approachable, and generous. He can be a spontaneous, expressive, and talkative person. He is generally good-natured, though at times he can be rather blunt and sarcastic, unintentionally hurting his best friend Zanakht. He is surprizingly creative, artistic, and musical, and there is an element of originality in all that he does. He likes to do things on the spur of the moment, without planning or prior arrangements. Despite a tendency to be scattered in hid efforts, and his preference to avoid menial jobs of a routine and repetitive nature, he actually becomes a pretty strategic player under Sitra's not-so-subtle guidance. He is inclined to pursue good times and emotional indulgences to excess. He bought a deck after Zanakht recieved his, and they learned to play together, following the girls deeper into the strange world of duel- monsters.
The game of duel-monsters is © the creators of Yu-gi-oh. The character bios are based on the Kabalarian Name Analyzer (except for the appearance part, that's mine).
