Personality (2-3 paragraphs): Tarquin is slightly more cautious than Daja is. He often tries to stop Daja from just jumping headfirst into everything, and he also often tries to convince her to actually listen to other people (that doesn't always work so well). Because of this, the two argue alot, but they still care deeply about each other. They have many things in common as well, after all; for instance; Tarquin is every bit as aggressive, intelligent, and adventurous as Daja.
History (optional):
Family lineage: Mother: Takiyah Olabunmi
Father: Rashid Sekhmet
History (6-8 paragraphs): Daja was born in a small town in Morocco. Her mother died giving birth to her, and when she was 1 year old her and her father moved to Oxford because of a deadly disease that was spreading through her town.
In Oxford, Rashid had to get a low paying job with long hours in a factory. Because of this, Daja learned to be an independent child from a very young age. She was always a very curious and adventurous child-- and very aggressive as well; right from the start. She was getting into fights before she was 4 years old.
She also, however, was a great leader from the smarts, and made friends with a bunch of other kids, from a variey of backgrounds.
When Daja was five years old, her father died from a lung disease. She had to take care of herself for a little while after that, but soon one of her neighbors, a man named Elijah Bryants, took her in. Elijah was highly trained in martial arts, and he taught Daja much of what he knew.
When Daja was ten, she discovered a secret passageway that led into a closet in a library in the Jordan College. She had always been fascinated with books and knowledge, and she really wanted to learn how to read. Luckily, she knew some kids from the college, and was sort of friends with them (they fought wars alot, of course, but still), so one of them, Aremis, taught her to read. She's been sneaking into the library ever since, usually at night.
When Daja was eleven, Elijah was killed in a bar brawl. Daja was very sad, but by this time she was old enough to take care of herself. She started taking on jobs, and learned about as many different things as she could, both in town and in the college library. At the present moment, she iworking as a mechanic. However, she still hangs out with her friends and helps them with their fights with other kids in the town and colleges. Since Daja's so nosy, she's also taken it upon herself to work as a sort of unofficial policeperson for other people by trying to solve crimes and that sort of thing. This has gotten her into alot of trouble over the years.
Eventually, Daja plans to leave Oxford and travel the world; living life to the fullest and helping people.
Role-play sample (2-3 paragraphs):
Daja walked through a bussling marketplace; leisurely chomping on fresh popcorn. She'd managed to save up a little extra money over the last few months, and had decided to treat herself today. "Uhm--uhm," she said, savoring the food.
"I can't believe ya spent that much money to get jest a li'l bit of food," her daemon Tarquin said critically. "You can get much more, more impor'ant food fo' a lot less money. You should be spenin' the extra on some'n useful, like--"
"Blah blah blah," Daja said between bites. " Jest shuddup already. I don' really car e what ya think, Tarquin, in case ya haven't noticed. N' 'sides, this is definitely worth it." She licked her lips. "It's the best meal I've had n' ages."
Tarquin glared at her, exaseration in his exspression "You're such a moron, ya know that?"
Daja grinned. " I reckon you've mention it a coupla times b'fore," she said. If by that you mean several times an hour every day. "C'mon Tarquin, lighten up. We're s'posed t' be enjoyin' ourselves t'day, 'member? N' what's more enjoyable then food?"
