_______________________________________________________________________________________ Username Info _______________________________________________________________________________________ Mun Name = Rosa Need help with a second MB account? = No Desired/Probable Username = Bo or Bomont SN for this char: = lethaliullaby
_______________________________________________________________________________________ IC Info _______________________________________________________________________________________
Played By= America Olivo Category= No-namer/Commoner Name = Bomont Alias/Nicknames = Bo, Monty, The Engineer Age = Aprox 23 (actual age unknown) Status = Unwed Height = 5' 7'' Weight = 133 lbs Eye Color = Turquoise/Teal Hair Color = Auburn General Demeanor/Personality = Bo is a free spirit with a creative outlook on life. She's a bit of a jokester, often using humor as a defense mechanism. She isn't very trusting but is drawn to be around people. Bomont is a daydreamer and a crafty or sarcastic liar. She is competitively driven and very passionate. Quirks = She hates being alone. Bo is phobic of small enclosed spaces. Fixing or building things is her compulsion. She doesn't know how to swim. Bomont suffers from insomnia due to nightmares she can't remember when she wakes. She has hyper-sensitive hands and feet which means she can feel things most people can't. Bo wears gloves to protect her hands especially when she works. She also has socks and stockings custom made for her comfort. Best Skills = Mechanical engineering, structural engineering, hyper-structural awareness, welding, balance, climbing, running in sand, driving all terrain vehicles, horse back riding,building fires, deception, and intuition. General Skills = Close quarter combat, melee, small firearms, evasion, lock picking, predicting the weather, tying knots, singing, dancing, and making small talk. Reputation = On Hailos she's known as "The Engineer" for her work in the mines and at one of the outposts. Bomont is contracted to the Hailos Mines as a work release convict. When she isn't fixing something at the mines she's at one of the outposts (pictured left) repairing colonist transports as well as JSS transports. Brief Bio = When Bomont was born or where remains a mystery, especially to her. When she was seven Bo was the sole survivor of a fire at the Orphanage she was living in on Javos. Investigations confirmed it was arson and Bo was suspected as the arsonist but never accused. She didn't come out unscathed, suffering a blow to the back of the head and a few 1st degree burns on her hands and feet. She claimed not to remember what happened or anything of herself or her life prior to that. All records of her were lost in the fire. She was given the name Bomont because it was the name on a plated bracelet she wore on her ankle made of silver. Bo was moved to an Orphanage in Quathica, one of the largest settlements on Javos. Quathica United Orphanage was more than just a home for the youth without parents or relatives to care for them. It was a rehabilitation and research center for understanding the development of young minds. Bomont took an active interest in mechanical and structural engineering even as a kid. When she was thirteen Q.U.O. took notice of her skills and set up an interview with JSS. Bo ran away from the Orphanage before the meeting could take place. Bomont was picked up on Midway three years later for stealing tools. Booked by JSS she became Inmate 882 and was sentenced to eight months in the mines. Her first month there she was caught up in a fight that got an inmate killed. Despite her insistence of being not-guilty witnesses said otherwise and twenty years was added to her sentence. After her second conviction she kept her head down, mouth shut and did her work. With a year of good behavior under her belt she was permitted extra privileges such as driving the mining rigs out of the mines. On several occasions the trucks would break down and Bo would get out and fix them. This was then recognized as an opportunity for Hailos Mining. They reached out to JSS and struck a work release deal. It gave Bo the chance to put the pick-axe down and trade it for a wrench. She signed an agreement that allowed her to move out of the prison barracks and into her own room at one of the outposts by her twenty first birthday. When Bomont agreed she also had to allow them to implant a tracking device and stay out of trouble. Her free spirit has made it difficult to avoid trouble, resulting in a number of violations from dune racing to bar brawling. These violations have extended her contract to JSS and Hailos Mining as a convict. She often jokes that JSS owns her because she has little choice but to do as they tell her. Her handler has recently informed her that her name is in the running for the expedition trip out into space. Temporarily she has been transferred to Midway Station as an assistant engineer so she can be observed at work by the OzGuds and other interested parties.

Love her. I like that she's a convict on work-release and how you explain her getting to midway and maybe ending up on the expedition. Only question that came to mind in the first read is if her hands and feet are still scarred from the fire you mentioned she got 1st degree burns from? Is this also what makes her hands and feel ultra-sensitive?
Great application and good to see you back Rosa!!!

To answer your question Tu, no her hands aren't scarred anymore, they've healed! The burns are also not the reason for her sensitivity, though she believes it is. I was trying to hint what you'd suggested for her unknown history.

Good read, and I like the details you've worked in to her background. Her reputation and attitude seem to be built towards a lawbreaker even without having to be a murderous fiend, which is a nice medium ground. I've only got one question for now, and it's more of a personality of the character probe than anything else.
Considering the tracker, known title/alias, and work release program, why no-name/commoner instead of JSS?

I chose no-namer/commoner because we don't have any yet. I also chose it because it fit better with her history as the delinquent runaway orphan than JSS. She could have been JSS but she ran before they could see what skills she has. If you're asking why did she run, I haven't decided yet. Rem told me someone was making a character who is anti-JSS and wants to destroy them. I thought if they apply, maybe she is part of that or heard some of their stories and has a phobia of JSS or something.
I guess, too, I wanted to try her out in play with the other characters and see what feels most natural for her motives. You know, sometimes those details don't come to you until you're writing!

I love what you came up with and I'm glad you decided to make an engineer. I totally love the convict angle too and her being on contract to the JSS as it seems. Um.. as far as questions go, i'm admittedly a bit brain dead, the only question I can think of is whether or not you were intending to mach this char a background-when-we-need-her char or Lillian? We talked about it but you hadn't decided so I'm curious if you made up your mind or want to play first?

Someone try to kill her? She try to stop the arsonist?
She has hyper-sensitive hands and feet which means she can feel things most people can't. Bo wears gloves to protect her hands especially when she works. Do the gloves prevent those feelings. Does she have to slip them off if she wants to feel whatever it is her hands might notice? Does this mean she's extra sensitive to vibrations? If she hit something would the shockwave in her hand feel the same as bricks falling on them?
Her first month there she was caught up in a fight that got an inmate killed. Despite her insistence of being not-guilty witnesses said otherwise and twenty years was added to her sentence. Framed? If so, a particular reason?
When Bomont agreed she also had to allow them to implant a tracking device and stay out of trouble. What happens if she runs? They just track her.. or does said tracker cause pain in anyway. Questioning, would she be afraid if some how she got mixed up in something and forced to go "out of bounds" Not talking head exploding collars from the movie Deadlock .. but just asking.
Her free spirit has made it difficult to avoid trouble, resulting in a number of violations from dune racing to bar brawling. These violations have extended her contract to JSS and Hailos Mining as a convict. She often jokes that JSS owns her because she has little choice but to do as they tell her. Her handler has recently informed her that her name is in the running for the expedition trip out into space. That sounds like a reward for bad behavior? Does her Handler want her to die on this mission ? Hmmmm lol just curious if ulterior motives for this.
*NOTE* If any of these are secrets to be released in play... I'll hush.

I tried to quote but it didn't show up right, sorry, just the questions.
Someone try to kill her? She try to stop the arsonist? Good questions! It was falling debris on the way out, hot floors and opening doors.
Do the gloves prevent those feelings. Does she have to slip them off if she wants to feel whatever it is her hands might notice? Does this mean she's extra sensitive to vibrations? If she hit something would the shockwave in her hand feel the same as bricks falling on them? More great questions! They don't stop the feelings they muffle them by absorbing the friction and impact. If she punched something without her gloves it might sting/shock up her arm but I never considered it feeling like a brick! Please tell me if I'm being illogical
Framed? If so, a particular reason?
Yes framed, in the air as to why! She never found out and didn't ask because she needed to keep her head down.
What happens if she runs? They just track her.. or does said tracker cause pain in anyway. Questioning, would she be afraid if some how she got mixed up in something and forced to go "out of bounds" Not talking head exploding collars from the movie Deadlock .. but just asking. They come hunt her down! No pain or shock necessary.
That sounds like a reward for bad behavior? Does her Handler want her to die on this mission ? Hmmmm lol just curious if ulterior motives for this.
She is uniquely skilled! Other than her violations, she does the work they ask of her without many questions, so she is an asset. There could be other motives I'm open to them!
Thank you for asking the questions Ben!

And not illogical. Just me verifying HOW sensative. If a punch wold vibrate and be painfully numbing... or just hurt more so than average.

I wanted to talk to Tu before confirming the extent of pain involved. I flirted with the idea that the sensitivity is like a feeler, a sensor, not directly related to heightened pain. Just heightened awareness of things most people wouldn't feel, like small vibrations. I'll get back to you!

Hey Rosa, sorry for the delayed response and the delayed welcome back but my net was out for a couple of days.... but welcome back! Enjoyed reading your app and she looks like she's going to be a fun char to play with. I'm eager to see her in action when you do have the time to play with us. I think any questions I would've had were already asked so I just wanted to say great job!

8 votes in, I'm locking the poll so everyone can see. But I'll leave this app here for the night so she can get back to us on the pain/sensitivity thing.
Thanks Rosa for applying her, and thank everyone for asking the questions and voting in a timely manner. xDDD

Thank you all very much! I'm excited to play her! If not tonight then this weekend.
Tu and I cleared our ideas up! Her sensitivity is not linked to pain receptors so there is no increased pain, only awareness.
