Sela and Fairlane

______________________________

Deus Name: Sela LeMar
Gender: Female
Age: 30
Height: 5’9”
Appearance: REFERENCE
Sela was plump when she got to Tokyo, but adapting to life in Japan and the stresses of teaching burned that off. Her eyes are somewhat narrow, and the irises are a flat gray-green color. She’s nearsighted, and wears rounded wire-rim spectacles. Her hair is brown; best described as bushy, and is prematurely gray enough to look frosted at the best of times. She keeps it pulled back when on the job, since when it’s loose it tends to get unruly. At its longest, it falls to mid-back. When at work teaching, she wears a fairly conservative brown suit. She sometimes carries a small briefcase for her teaching supplies and paperwork, and a large messenger bag which she refers to as her purse, and which probably carries enough supplies to enable a full hike of the Appalachian Trail.

Bio: Sela currently lives in Shinjuku, in a small family-owned apartment house not far from Golden Gai, teaching English at a private school in the district. She speaks slightly-accented Japanese, and English with a Southern accent which tends to crop up more often when she’s upset or very relaxed. She has a quick temper and reacts to surprises with (usually) comical violence. While she appreciates Tokyo’s mass-transit system, she really loves driving and road trips, and has a fond hope of saving up for a car of her own, despite the impracticalities. She’s also been dreaming ever since she got to Japan of taking a vacation at a hot spring resort, but never quite finds the time. She smokes occasionally, and has a bad habit of going to her favorite bar whenever she’s had a rough day. She often whistles patriotic tunes when in a particularly good mood. When she’s in a bad mood, however, one has to wonder what sort of English her students are learning – no lady would ever admit to that vocabulary. Once she gets to know people she’ll usually refer to them by surname.

Sela gets mistaken often for being older than she is, and is touchy about her apparent status as ‘ossan’, mostly because the responsibility of being Adult In The Room weighs really heavily sometimes. In an effort to combat this, her wardrobe, while tending toward earth-tones and subtle patterns, is tailored in a more youthful style. Whether that helps or not remains to be seen – some of her less-mature affectations certainly don’t, though she can be endearing. She also collects interesting-looking scarves. Her one major weakness is her Angel, Fairlane, whom she will indulge till the cows come home… most of the time, and what could arguably be called her conscience speaks in the voice of her twin brother Solomon, also a teacher back home in the States.

Angel Name: Fairlane
Gender: Female
Appearance: REFERENCE
Fairlane is outfitted with a sleeveless, high-collared dress, the front of which is white and the back pink; separated and edged with chrome. Under this is a frothy black petticoat. The skirt of the dress falls just above her knees. On her back is a thick metal disk, also pink, with chrome trim. Her boots start just below the knee, and like the dress, are trimmed with chrome. They are white in the front and pink in the back, with low, thick heels. She also has gloves similar in design (white on top, pink on the bottom) to the boots, which start at the elbow.

Fairlane also sports a number of large disks about her person; two chrome ones per wrist and two black on either side of each heel. The disks on the outside edges of her wrists and ankles are slightly larger than those on the inside edges. More turquoise bands arch over her hands and feet, from disk to disk.
Two larger chrome disks are situated where ears would be; they anchor a turquoise headband which flips down as a visor when in battle. A pair of black rubberized Angel Cords hangs from the backs of the disks on her head – they’re slightly longer than Fairlane is tall, and are tipped with fine metal springs.
Hair: Pink and fluffy, about mid-back length.
Eyes: Turquoise.

Bio: Fairlane is almost a complete opposite of her blunt, stoic Deus. Still relatively new to the world, she’s very outgoing, open, innocent and friendly..and also obnoxiously adorable as long as she’s getting her own way, though she turns into the bossiest little kid in the sandbox whenever she’s not. She loves meeting new people and travelling to new places, and will spend the majority of any vehicle ride plastered to the window, watching the scenery pass by - and talking about it to anyone who will listen. Fairlane is also a terrible gossip, with a stage-whisper that matches everyone else’s indoor speaking voices in volume. Behind her energetic bouncing, childish demeanor and mannerisms, and lisping little-girl voice lurks a surprising amount of steel. She’s not totally fearless and in fact will stick a thumb in her mouth when she’s particularly upset, but will tackle whatever battles come her way to the best of her ability, if not with the greatest finesse in the world.

Fairlane particularly enjoys television (her favorite show is Five Star Force Chroma Genki Rangers), and loves all things cute. She’s always ready to play, and will do so with just about anyone, although she has problems with other people’s personal space, which makes her habit of hugging everybody a little awkward. She also tends to bestow nicknames on just about everyone she meets, and will pick up mannerisms from those she spends the most time around or particularly admires.

Her mindlink communications were garbled in the beginning (due to her Deus’s utter lack of technical wizardry), and so most of her commentary along that channel is done in scribbly cartoonish crayon-drawing pictures. Most of the time, she and Sela just speak out loud to each other and everyone else out of habit, although with the installation of her Technique Chip the communication issue cleared up quite a bit. She has a bit of a little-kid lisp, and overall sounds like Yuna Fujii (VA for Fumi, 'Kaasan: Mom's Life)

Signature Move:
Radio Silence: Created to increase the range and clarity of Fairlane’s mindlink transmissions. The side effect is a buildup of energy when fighting on the Layer that can be released as a static burst. To start the sequence, Fairlane turns the disks on her head until her Angel Cords point ‘up’ (the ‘transmit’ position). The resulting static burst jams the mindlink signals of Angels within a twelve-inch radius, including Fairlane herself, and the effect lasts approximately five seconds. Fairlane’s eyes glow slightly when this technique is activated.

Off the Layer, if she turns her Cords to the ‘down’ position, she can receive local radio stations and shortwave transmissions, and track them based on signal strength if needed.
