_______________________________________________________

Name: Nowan Mystiere

Age: 41 years old

Gender: female

Pokémon: Gardevoir

Nature: bold

Characteristic: strong willed

Ability: telekinesis

Job: magician

Faction: Etoile

Wish: "My only wish is to exist in this world..."
Having been locked away for many, many years with no one to talk to has made Nowan uncontrollably worried about her own existence. The very thought that no one seems to know that she exists makes her paranoid. She would say that "the worst thing about loneliness is that it tends to make you forget your name - because you cannot remember your name if there is no one to call you by it." She joins Circus Darkrai after Mr. Dark had promised to help her become famous. Sadly, however, her secretive nature, her habit of keeping things to herself and unwillingness to share any information about herself makes it difficult for people to relate to her and prevents her from becoming well-known. To her dismay, she is only known and remembered by very few in the circus.

Personality:
"I am not stubborn, just persistant." Due to the nature of her upbringing Nowan has no fear when facing dangers and challenges, willing to take risks, unafraid to stand up against any adversary, is very cunning, and finds it difficult to give up or give in. Her calm demeanor masks the fiery spirit of a figther strengthened by a life of hardships. She can be easily ill tempered at times, especially when her friends are victims of mistreatment, and has a knack to start fights which she hardly ever backs down from. Finally, she can be quite vengeful and merciless. Very bold by nature, she loves going against the norm and may often be seen doing things in direct contrast to all those around her and making herself stand out from the crowd - like wearing revealing clothing of a different colour from the others, reading while eating, sleeping on top of the train at night under the stars (when the train is not on the move or when it is not raining or snowing), or dancing on tables. Because of the crystals sticking out of her chest and back as well as the fact that she does not like heat, her clothes are usually revealing or skimpy. She may seem naughty but she is actually very reserved. She does not like revealing any information about herself to others and prefers to be mysterious, hence her self-given secondary name. She is happiest when in the company of those she calls friends. Her greatest weakness is that she becomes terribly paranoid when people do not acknowledge her existence, and this may force her to take unwise actions.

History:
Nowan was born to a poor family. At the age of 6 she was taken away from her parents by a very rich family and locked in a factory owned by said family, where she was forced to work for them till she dies.
Despite all the hard work she commmits in the factory no one regarded her pressence, and with the family members who owned the factory keeping their child labouring a secret no one else even knows that she exists. The thought of that no one knows she existed, along with her lack of freedom, sudden separation from her family, and loneliness left a terrible impression of the world to poor, young Nowan. And although she had a strong will to carry on, the hardships she faced made her suffer from terrible depression which lasted many years. It was during this moments of weakness when she heard a darker calling.
A voice from nowhere offered to help her with her plight. It told her what needs to be done, and how. With virtually nothing to lose, Nowan agreed to listen to the unknown voice and did as she was told.
A few days later, the both the factory and the owners' family home had been struck by fire. Everything and everyone within, including the family who owned the factory and house, perished in the flames. Nowan, heeding the voice's directions, survived - and escaped without anyone noticing. She was free and the first thing in her mind after that was to return to her family's open arms.
She ran all the way back to her home, where her family are, ignoring how badly injured and exhausted she was from her journey back home.
At last, she had returned to her home. But what layed before her eyes shocked her. Her parents were no longer poor. Their house looked new again, refurbished and renovated, decorated with expensive new items.
Unable to believe what she was seeing, Nowan heard the unknown voice again. This time, it told her to use her telekinesis to 'venture' into her parents' memories. Normally, such skill is impossible for most Pokemon but some other power was at work at that very moment. Nowan gazed into her parents' memories and, to her utmost horror, saw the whole truth. She was not taken away from her family - her own parents had sold her off to the factory! And in order to keep their mouths shut, the rich familly had been paying her parents sums of money over the years. They had been living in luxury while she had been imprisoned and working like a slave in a factory! They never even came to look for her!
Overwhelmed by anger and grief, Nowan decided to do something monstrous. She hid herself and waited. And waited. She waited until night came and her parents went to sleep. Then, in the cover of darkness, hatred burning in her heart and soul, she set their house on fire the same way she did to the rich family's factory and home, killing them.
But suddenly, Nowan was overcame with realization - she had killed everyone who knows her, the only ones who knew of her own existence. She is now alone, and no one knows she even exists. She has become a nobody, destined to fade away from existence.
It was at that very moment when she felt a hand press on her shoulder, and heard a familliar voice - that same voice which had been telling her what to do. Standing beside her was a Darkrai dressed in an elegant attire like a gentleman, looking down upon her.
"So you wish to exist? You wish for the world to acknowledge your existence? Come work for me, my lady, and the whole world shall know your name," says Mr. Dark.

There are probably a bunch more but these are the two that I really liked and were the most helpful c>

Hey c>
Saw your app in the Circus Darkrai tag and thought since there's still a little time before the group opens again I'd give your character a critique to increase her chances of entering.

I guess I'll start with the written portion since that's what the mods usually judge more heavily on c>
First off her history is a little over dramatic. Circus Darkrai is indeed a dark group, but the fact that she was sold to a wealthy family to work seemingly by herself in a factory and go unnoticed is far fetched even for this group. Not only that but she was hearing a 'darker calling' as if being controled or infuenced by Mr. Dark, which from what I've read about him cannot make influences on people he's never met. It's hard to believe that she'd be specifically targeted and made to burn down the whole place and the family that owned her unless she had developed some acute form of Schizophrenia during her time working and kind of went of the deep end. In that case a little more information regarding how she got to that point would be needed for clarity. Having her try and come back home is definitely reasonable and to be shocked and hurt to learn that her family willingly sold her are also justifiable. But seeing as it was Mr. Dark influencing her and telling her to burn these people and buildings is just really over the top and unnecessary.

Secondly, I don't think Mr. Dark can mess with people he's never met. You never mentioned Nowan going to the circus, meeting a tall strange man or even seeing him so it doesn't seem realistic that he'd be able to do anything with her or to her unless he knew her. There isn't enough information to confirm this, so it just seems really unbelievable. Maybe if she had gone to the circus previously before being sold and met him, something could have happened that made him want to mess with her life. Other than that, just haveing him make her burn down things makes little sense other than to make her history darker than it probably needs to be. She's already been sold, sufferend from depression and separation issues, I think she's had enough trauma XD

As for her personality, having her be fearless and unafraid of challenges is a nice change from the 'shy wall flower' that I've seen in a few other apps. She seems to be the confident type that popped up around the 1920's who were not afraid to show a little skin, and that's good but just keep in mind that the outfits need to be practical when it comes to occupation. The only part that I'm having trouble getting past is the 'she hates heat so she runs around in skimpy/revealing/thin outfits. This is a circus, not a Vegas strip show. I'd suggest having her preferring to wear Flapper dresses since they'd be common and easy to find during the Circus's time during the Spring and Summer months.


Nowan's design is a little plain. She's got a blue dress with frills and a low cut V neck, not really something that'd stick out in a crowd or on stage. I know MS paint can be a pain in the arse, but it can be done. The app I did for my character, Willow, was all done in Ms Paint, it just takes a little more effort. The other thing is her breast size, it just doesn't match her body size. I know anatomy is the bane of existence to every artist but toning down the cup size would even out her stature and make her look more believable in design c>

I hope this helps, and good luck in the opening~!

Oh dear, I have already sent my registry and app! But thanks so much for your help, I really appreciate it and will use your ideas if my entry is to be denied.

 

I have read the stories about how the other characters at the circus were 'found' by Mr. Dark and figured tat he was this kind of 'entity' who goes about seeking poor suffering souls to make deals with. And the way his deals tend to go bad for his employees-slash-victims gave me the impression that he is manipulating them even before they knew of his existence, something which is quite common in stories regarding people making deals with their souls as payment. I based Nowan's meeting with Mr. Dark on that impression. Or he could have seen Nowan while visiting the factory where she was forced to work in while looking for something for his travelling circus (train parts, props, etc.).

 

I wanted to give a greater reason Nowan's strong character, which is why I created such a torturous childhood and background history for her.

 

Her dress was based on a flamenco dancer's dress which I find very lovely. The Flapper dresses do look nice, however. Perhaps I will make her wear that next time.

 

As for her breast size... NOOOO! That is her trademark! That is my trademark! But I understand that the group has rules regarding over-sexualised art so I will *sniff* shrink her breasts by half next time.

 

Shocking how the Bob and Eton Crop hairstyles fit her perfectly.

 

Again, thanks for your helpful comment and for the very useful 1920s fashion links.

Hey no problem c> I'm only sad that it was a little too late to make any changes by the time it was registering period XD

Like I said, having him see/meet her sometime before would make the story a little more believable. Maybe going into detail of what kind of factory she worked in could set up a good reason for her to catch his attention.

That is totally understandable but having to deal with the fact that she killed her parents and the only people who 'knew' of her existence still should have some effect on her. Having to maybe hide that little weakness under all her assertivness could add some extra depth to her personality c>

I know her having big breasts is kinda a thing once I looked through your gallery a bit but yeah, this group isn't too keen on having over-sexualized characters |D

Well it was a popular thing back then, so I think it's a lovely coincidence for her c>

And again, I'm happy to help <3

You made the app after all! : D Awesome~ ^^


And I feel really really bad about this, but I got the dates mixed up.
They actually won't be kicking anyone out until 10 days after the opening. BUT, they are usually open for receiving apps for a week. So that knocks out the first 7 days, plus they don't make the final decisions until a few days afterwards. So the current Gardevoir will be kicked out at the same time (if not before) the final decisions are made. So if you explain that in your join request, they should consider your app~ ^^
Again, sorry about mixing the dates up...

Oh, thanks for telling me, dear. My only problem now is that I cannot seem to find the "secret passwords" no matter how many times I read through the blogs. Can you give me some hints to finding them via Note, at least.

I believe that this member application is wrongly made so I have created a new one (in case the first is declined).
