someone probably: "you know not every character needs bangs?? people can fit all their hair into their braids" me:"more bangs? perfect" ___________________________________________________ i hope this is enough? i may add more before the end of the month ___________________________________________________ BIO: name-Emil (Birth name difficult to represent in earth letters) ____________________ age-20 ____________________ gender-not a significant thing on [home planet](instead of gendered pronouns more specific honorifics are used), but generally goes by she/her pronouns on earth because of assumptions ____________________ likes-folk music, cats, history(it takes a certain level of devotion to focus time on something) ____________________ dislikes-space-sickness(like next level motion sickness), rain and related precipitation, especially sweet flavors _____________ personality -subpar social skills -leans toward a pessimistic viewpoint -a few specific foci, and has difficulty paying attention to other things -generally cheery temperament ____________________ background- -ok its time for an Infodump (with world stuff too bc ive been working on a few alien species/stories and this is one of the Main Ones Kinda) -so basically in this universe humans came from this Big Important intergalactic ancestor (as did cats, but thats beside the point) -and on Earth the technology to travel to other solar systems(and beyond??) was destroyed, probably with the library of alexandria or a similar desruction of knowledge, but but on Coeleste (the Earthen name for Emil's planet, coined by an unoriginal scientist with a love of Latin) they kept the tech and continued to build on it -and they know For Sure Almost that Others Are Out There -and so after exploring several solar systems, they determined that ours had some form of the same human species, altho any changes that may have occurred, including possible evolutions to the point of a different species* ** -and sent an ambassador ship to basially say "hey" and also research and stuff -which is where emil factors in!! -she's kind of a historian/anthropologist of sorts -with speciaizations in Ancient things and Mythology and the blurring lines between the two -and plans to Communicate with new ppl and compare stories and such -i havent completely worked out the education system or lack thereof, but while it is acknowledged that history is Important, not many ppl focus on it-but emil did!! -several years were spent completely enveloped in the past w/minimal contact with other ppl outside of librarians and meals -no especially strong bonds with any family members _______________ extra: -species is technically human, albeit with a few mutations(as expected) -romantic ace?? a lot of labeling stuff is societal so again no thought is put to this by Emil *h0 aka super colonialism was shown to have two eyes, but over time humans **spoiler alert; the two groups somehow have not changed to form completely different species; however, key distinguishing traits are still noticeable. The eye, for example, exists as an adaptation to varied light levels ____________________________________ music is Knock Knock by Lenka
