Lumme

Roleplay posts: 2
Appearance: Lumme is of the Mersine folk. A race in her land that sprouted randomly from plants. As such, her constitution is small and delicate. From heel to the crown of her petals, she is mere 4'6". Her skin is alabaster white with coral to reddish highlights on the edges and crevices of the head petals. Her eyes are like freshly erupted lava and their intensity depends on the way the light hits them.
Lumme always wears loose clothing be that as pants and shirts, or dresses. She also never parts with her necklace - a thin, hand-crafted golden necklace with a pendant that is a gemstone the color of her highlights set in the discreet gold plate. This pendant will occasionally glow if Lumme is experiences heightened emotions.
---------------------------------------------------------
Equipment: Lumme has an across-the-back sack that carries her clothes and a few crafting tools (mainly for woodwork, some needlework, and sewing).
She also washed on the shore with her companion Ogmath who she tenderly calls Og. Og with his black fur, slender body, and long sharp ears was called a hell dog by those who didn't know any better (https://i.pinimg.com/564x/c2/6d/a0/c26da03b5f773d9524c1bd413c41dec6.jpg). He is by a head taller than Lumme and so she is often seen to be riding on his back thanks to her lightweight. He is her protector, companion, and a ride drama king when he wants to be.
---------------------------------------------------------
Skills and Abilities: Lumme has always been a crafter. She can pick up a crafting skill with speed and ease, though refining may take time depending on the complexity of the craft. Place her in front of any material, tell her your vision, give her time, and Lumme will eventually succeed in delivering.
Despite her constitution, she can sometimes surprise with her strength which seems to be tied to the intensity of her focus.
---------------------------------------------------------
Biography: Lumme lost count of how long ago she came to consciousness. Mersine folks were born at random and without parents but that did not make them lonely. Nature was Mersine Folk's family and they relied on it for protection. They were also often seen at the company of wild animals. In their presence, even the wildest and fiercest would calm. That's how Lumme befriended Og. One day, she found him hurt, hiding under the roots of a rotting tree. He was hunted by local villagers for a string of cattle-killing and human attacks. Despite her Mersine blood, more than once Og tried to shoo her away with needlepoint teeth and sharp claws. It was her stubbornness and refusal to leave that eventually she healed him with simple herbs and patience. He never seemed to have forgotten that and followed her around until the villagers found them and together they had to run.
That's how Og and Lumme traveled their land from town to town, getting eyeballed, and at times avoided. At that point, Lumme discovered her skills for crafting and over many years built her name that at times stories about her preceded her arrival.
That was until the war broke out. No one wanted pretty stone mosaics for decorations, intricate wood carvings, or glasswork to show off. It was all weapons and as much as Lumme wanted to avoid that, her and Og's survival started depending on that. Where the Mersine folk bonded with Nature to protect its slow eradication in the name of war, Lumme put her survival first and helped to craft the weapons that killed her people and many others. It haunted her in nightmares, ate away on her happiness, nearly eradicated her relationship with Og. She turned at him with anger at times, blaming him for poisoning her with his rage and anger of all those years ago.
When the war was at its climax, the world was about to end and the mist came, Lumme was at the end of her rope. She had dug herself a hole in the ground in plans to plant herself, to disappear, and to forget.
Yet despite everything, it was Og who dug her out of the earth, carried her in his teeth weak and delirious, and snuck onto a ship that left their world behind. This time, he saved her and gave her a second chance in life. But he couldn't heal her wounds. Those were up to Lumme.

Hi everyone!
Excited to explore this island with the rest of you. Lumme is a crafts person who sprouted from flower. We'll see how much use she will be in this unsettled world or if she will need to reinvent herself, again. Oh and did I mention that she has a 'dog' called Og that she rides like a horse?
