Description
Reference sheet for the character I'm auditioning for ..."Madcap" Myriad Mayhem
Brigand, Adventuress, Lunatic, Cat Fancier
...and First Mate Minuit
Age: 29
Sex: Very female
Species: Human
Marital Status: Single and loving it
Orientation: Bisexual
Weapons: Sword, dagger, antique pistol, and CATS. Hundreds of cats. Thousands of cats. Millions and billions and... okay, maybe not quite that many cats.
Strengths: A fine fencer and a good shot (although her taste in pistols runs to the antique, resulting in unreliable firearms.) Not too shabby in fisticuff-and-brawling techniques. Devious and clever.
Weaknesses: CATS. Also, rather daft and liable to eccentric and impractical actions. Likely to become distracted, or to abandon a task altogether if something more interesting presents itself.
Background and Personality:
Born and raised a brigand. Her pa was one too, and they used to work together until Myriad got lost while chasing a cat. She's not too worried about this situation, however. She figures her pa is old enough to take care of himself, and anyway, given their respective reputations for raising a ruckus, she's bound to hear something about him eventually. At present Myriad roams where she pleases, seeking easy wealth and good times - and cats. She collects jewels, expensive fripperies, pretty weapons, and cats.
Fond of drink and wild scenes, often found in taverns and dance halls. When drunk, she tends to become lusty, belligerent, or both at once. Known to pursue both men and women (when not pursuing cats.) Enjoys a good fight, but often employs more devious means to gain her ends. She's not above using feminine wiles and playing damsel-in-distress, seductress, or clueless ditz as needed.
Her constant companion and "first mate" is Minuit, her favorite cat. She and Minuit are quite simpatico, and Minuit seems to understand her mistress's requests and often consents to carry them out (when she feels like it.) Minuit is rather useful for sneaking into inaccessible locations to steal small objects (such as keys) or to cause distractions or tamper with things...
Also, don't mess with the hat.

Very cool concept, and wonderful execution Too bad that the NPCs in my next swashbuckling game are already planned out - I'm hit with the urge to include a thief-y type who is insane about kittens.

Thanks! I hope she lasts more than one round...
"whimsical and carefree"... They're all a bunch of LUNATICS, is what they are!
Yep, can't go wrong with cats. ~Meow!

LUNATICS--well, yes. That works too.
ANd I do hope she lasts long as well--she's so charming. But then again, I have yet to meet a character of yours that I don't like.

If she had a red hat she could totally have epople mistake her fro Carmen Sandiego.
Sorry, first thing that came to mind when I saw the red in her color scheme XD
I like her boots, but they must be a pain to run in.

Good thing I didn't make the hat red. Yeah, I realized about halfway through the coloring that there was a kind of Carmen Sandiego thing going on... but by that point I didn't really want to change the red color scheme (she looks good in red.)
Yep, the boots are a bad case of style over comfort....

They'll be the best comrades evar! I wonder if the rest of them ever get jealous of Minuit mind you?

It actually was supposed to be more red... but ended up kinda pink... But then, it goes with Minuit's pink bow so it all works out.

Eheeeh, I guess I'm not the only one who thought of Carmen Sandiego... The whole time I was coloring her, I kept thinking "Who in the world does she remind me of?" And then it hit me.

I think I want that coat, myself... ^^
Huzzah for noses! I really like characters with a bit of schnoz to them, for some reason... Maybe I'm just fed up with the noselessness of most anime characters...
