Description This "lovely" lady here (Forgive me the crappy quality/size, but she actually was meant to become an avatar before I realized I liked it enough to share it.) is one of my RP-Characters: Preeya'Lem vas Citadel, theoretical physicist, and self-proclaimed pioneer of social matters...

I play her at MERPU, tumblr, skype, gave permission to use her on dA...
Pretty much anywhere where a ME-character could be needed... And she's kinda one of my personal favourite characters - Most of all because she's an emotionally retarded little extraterrestrial NERD. ^^

__________________CHARACTER INFO:_______________________________
Full Name: Preeya’Lem vas Citadel nar Aeymar
Born: 2162
Occupation: Student, Waitress, Wannabe-Future-Pioneer
Professions: Theoretical Physics, Stellar Physics (Nucleosynthesis and stellar evolution).
Marital Status: Single
Species: Quarian
Age: 26 Standard years
Height: 5’ 5½”
Hair: White
Skin: Light blue-ish grey
Eyes: White

Personality:
She feels and acts socially very awkward and appears cold and aloof at first. Even though being intelligent and very open-minded, Preeya does not understand mimic, irony or sarcasm (yet).
Due her pragmatic nature she easily accepts pretty much anything - no matter how weird, and has no problem with adapting to new challenges.
Regardless her difficulties with people Preeya gladly spends time with others. She enjoys making new acquaintances and is very helpful and protective towards anyone - regardless status or species.

Background:
Due her difficulties to sense other people’s emotions/motivations, Preeya easily gets mistaken for being non-caring, which is far away from truth.

She refused to participate the Flotilla’s attack on the Geth fleet to retake Rannoch because she considered such an act to be morally wrong. She indeed is a rather pacifist person and would only use violence to protect someone from danger in progress..

She grew very fond of children, and gets along with them surprisingly well, much to her own confusion.
She secretly suffers from her inability to have children of her own because she would have loved to be a mother.

She actually prefers life aboard starships and space stations over living on a planet - Most of all because she enjoyed life on the Flotilla and the Citadel a lot.

Even judged by quarian standards her immune system (as well as Preeya’s physical constitution in general) is fragile and vulnerable, as it is like amongst all members of her family.

During the first attack on the Citadel Preeya had been heavily injured and almost lost her left leg. Also is she unable to have children of her own ever since.
During the following emergency operation she almost died, which is the reason she currently walks with one stiff knee joint and has to use a walking pole most of the time, since she considers a second surgery to get herself a fully functioning implant to be too risky for now.

Depending on time-setting Preeya has an immuno-boost therapy assistant transferred into her suit for the above reason.

Her Enviro-suit is a rather older, and more unisex model, basically held in black and copper colours, with red appliques.

Even though being small, fragile and physically handicapped, Preeya has very quick reflexes, making her a fantastic Ping-pong-player and gamer. Playing holovid games is actually one of her biggest (non-work-related) hobbies.

She loves old science fiction novels and shows. She adores people like Jules Verne and Arthur C. Clarke and her personal favourite quote is “To boldly go where no one has gone before.”

Preeya seems to lack the ability to recognize faces. Like most Quarians she entirely relies to her helmet-HUDs’ ID tags. Yet in Preeya’s case it’s not for reasons of comfort. If someone does not use ID-Tags she keeps them in mind by remembering their voices, circumstances of meeting, details like facial markings or clothing, and most important of all: By their (told) names.
She overcomes this when working together with certain people for several times, getting used to them and getting some practise in remembering/identifying. For example: When asked to identify a stranger she just once met in a public place she neither would be able to remember look, species or attitude, but when working together with several nearly similar looking persons for a couple of days/times she would be able to identify each of them without any problems.

Like many Quarians Preeya does not feel comfortable in utter silence. To be more specific: Silence makes her nervous and even can cause her to panic when being subjected to for longer times. To prevent that she constantly listens to music or news feeds over the internal speakers of her helmet, when not having someone to actually talk to.

_____________________________________________________

I decided to do a new ID-Picture for 2014 and chose Preeya'Lem to "represent" myself.
Most of all, because the awesome got me into XNALara, and I really enjoy toying with the Quarians he sent to me some weeks ago.
Also I really wanted to show at least a little of the stuff I already came up with for now. ^^
(Also: Gotta love Quarians! As some of you guy already might know they're one of my favourite alien species - Not just in ME, but in Sci-Fi in general. ^^)

I admit, I did this picture without much further reason - I only needed something to occupy my time (and my hands) while I was skyping (I can't read/write while speaking XD) with two of my friends for almost ten HOURS...
But just as I already told: I quite like it, even though I know I'm not as experienced as other XNALara-artists like or yet. XD (But hopefully one day...)

Preeya'Lem vas Citadel (c) Me, but free to use.
Apart from playing her via skype, I play her on MERPU (merpu.boards.net/)
She also has a Tumblr RP-page: pride-of-the-rest.tumblr.com/

The actual model I used was an Admiral Shala'Raan, and the base belongs to

Me (c) My parents.

maybe not "RP on DA" but RP in general there are many.

I guess I have never tried to jump into other RP communities.

(I should note I have a secret love of the crossover...  Playing someone from one setting inside of another.)

I have never played on DA, I have no idea how that would work. I've been part of a board community but drama and stuff made me go my own ways. Nowadays I mostly play with a friend using shared google docs.

Filanwizard In reply to Taleeze [2014-05-27 18:35:03 +0000 UTC]

yea that is how I have done things with friends.   Arrange the general plot on skype chat and then move to a doc.  Of course for us the move to docs came from the fact it let us discuss things on the chat or keep ooc out of the general RP feed.

On DA RPs one tends to use either notes or comments.   Notes are basically like PM based RPs on a message board.  The big thing is Notes are good for people who do not sync up well with RPs  due to time differences or work.  Though Docs can do that too.

yep, my friend is Australian, that's as apart as it gets. But it works well, we have a discussion sheet and sheets for individual episodes of RP

Ahh cool.

So do you with say an ME based rp keep things canon or have you ever tossed in someone or something's from other places?

Taleeze In reply to Filanwizard [2014-05-27 20:33:38 +0000 UTC]

No crossovers, if that's what you mean. We are currently doing a bit that's placed out of time though, set on tribal age Thessia, thousands of years ago.
we also plan on doing kind of an asari version of Star trek, back when they first went to space and through relays.

But the main characters, like Taleeze, are set in a canonic setting.

Ahh gotcha.

Mostly have wanted to do it for the fun of the fish out of water impact on the translocated ship and her crew... And those that they meet in the new place.

Such as slinging this big gal into the ME setting....

cool ship design!

whenever I looked for ship design that would pass as asari I had trouble finding good ones.

Filanwizard In reply to Taleeze [2014-05-28 19:41:36 +0000 UTC]

haha yea shes a big ship too,  That modular industrial vessel is well lets just say its 5km long...  Its catch if someone crossed it over into the ME setting is its drive systems,  uses gravity based drives and its FTL is the Alcuberre Warp Drive.  The setting that ship was made for the Alcuberre Drive is one of the primary FTL methods.


Hmm need a slightly Asari ship... fav.me/d6v8s0a A 1km long Alaerin personal freighter.  Warp Driven as well mostly due to the setting.

Taleeze In reply to Filanwizard [2014-05-29 14:44:17 +0000 UTC]

That's indeed sleek looking!

Only very few designs have that "Yonic" asari design features but look more "Phallic" LOL.
That or they look super aggressive and bulgy, which does not fit the asari either.

Filanwizard In reply to Taleeze [2014-05-29 21:00:56 +0000 UTC]

Yea in legacy the alaerin are ones who put some values on aesthetics . the bigsship that I linked before is a purely human design. A fully modular industrial ship. 5km of it.

Very glad you like her. ^^
I am not sure whether you can call them many, but I at lest know a couple of others who do (For example Taleeze and JesterDK - I'm quite sure there'll be far more - I think I remember having seen lots of character sheets some time ago. o.O)

Of course while I have never done anything in the setting... My dirty little love... Crossovers.  Some reason I love to mix up settings and see what happens.

Man i feel sorry for not being able to have kids but she could always adopt a child though and she could still find true love and have someone love her just the way she is . I had a idea maybe Giran and Her could have known each other in past back when they both were still little and been close friends with each other but something happened that force them apart while they were still kids and they don't see other until they are both all grown up or something like that it is just a idea that came to my mind. 

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Theta-Xi In reply to Natalia-Clark [2014-03-23 23:21:42 +0000 UTC]

N'AWWW, you don't have to fee sorry - It's actually part of the character concept. (I like to give my characters lots of weaknesses and goals to reach/things to overcome in their life. XD)
Ironically I RP her with a friend now and then and we ended up with her adopting one of his characters. (Which is very weird/crazy/funny, for that character of his is a Geth Rocket Trooper XD)

I like the idea with Giran and Preeya. XD
We maybe could make it that she met him on her pilgrimage (she started it when she was very young, so this might work quite fine.) for this might also explain why they haven't seen each other for some time, for she surely would not have brought him with her to the Flotilla, for he very probably would have been either killed or ended up ab a scientific experiment. XD

Natalia-Clark In reply to Theta-Xi [2014-03-24 19:11:07 +0000 UTC]

Ah i see interesting ( hmm so do i quite a few of my own characters have gone though tough times or had something they had to overcome in thier past too).

Ah that is good then to hear i am happy for her  and that is actually very cute and sweet to me i know i am odd but i think that is a very sweet thing.

Yeah that sounds like a very good idea .

Theta-Xi In reply to Natalia-Clark [2014-03-24 21:51:42 +0000 UTC]

Yep, that's exactly the strategy I like to use.
I see, great minds think alike. ^^

I personally think it's pretty cute as well - Weird coincidence, but cute *hehe*

Glad you like my idea - That's also a very cool detail for her past I think since I never had any proper ideas for her of what she had done/experienced during that period of her life.

Well, actually I think I won't start posting a huge wave of them - As I usually do not post about 90% of my work at all, for - Even though I'm in a never ending learning process - I am very picky when it comes to deciding what to share with others ^^
(Also I kinda want to keep my gallery as manageable as possible. I already have shared stuff of so many fandoms... XD)
