He is a very quiet person, afraid of strangers, but a loyal friend to anyone he knows. He compulsively writes things down, most of the time a story that is about his friends, or about his God. He is assertive, in the sense that he isn't afraid to voice his opinion about any morale decision. Even though he doesn't follow it to the letter, he tries to carry his bible around in a small pack wherever he goes, if only for moral support. He is a Cadasian, believing that God and Heaven are found on Earth, whereever it may be, yet he is not fanatical, he tries to keep his religion, to avoid an embarrassing conflict with anyone.

Dislikes: laziness, slow death, people dieing infront of him
Goals: To prove himself to his peers.


History

He grew up on Kennewesse under a father who thought him weak and incapable, he ran away several times, only to be brought back a few days later. He grew up as a single child, unhappy about how he couldn't prove his worth to anyone, writing his thoughts down, and then stories, and once even a novel based in science fiction. He lost these over time, never showing them to anyone. He left home as soon as possible, conflicting with his father about Star Army, (his father didn't like the Military, being a peaceful Mechanic on Kennewesse.) Him being a Cadasian came to view too, his father kicking him out permanently.
He joined Star Army in the next few hours.

OOC Notes

Okay, well, Cadasian is a Religion, they believe that Earth is the new Bastion of Heaven, where if they reach it all Mortal souls will be saved.
The hair thing is the best I could describe it, its basically from a Buzzcut to grown alittle long, like just meeting his eyebrows, going past his ears, and on the back its really thick.
 
First, I would like to apologize in the delay of a review of this bio! I actually have no idea why it got skipped.

Very odd name, like really odd- but I've seen and heard worse. ("Placenta is such a nice name, isn't it?")

Onwards!

Physical Characteristics:

Why are his eyes so striking/shocking? Just how long is the tangle of his hair? =)

Okay, I'm curious- typically most Nepleslians are religiously against switching bodies, why'd Riven switch? Since we lifted the Species Restriction act- Riven wouldn't HAVE to switch bodies. He can still pilot a Mindy 2 or a Daisy through the headset like the Yamataians do without going against what might be his core beliefs (further questions below).

Character motivation:

Christianity?:

You mention Riven worships a Christian God but.... we don't HAVE a Christ figure in SARPG so our pre-existing perception of Christianity and the Bible most likely don't exist in this alternative future. Please keep in mind that here people have a respawn point and "Hell" was a place as was "Heaven" on Geshrintall (Yamatai) so the modern notions of these things are going to be much different in the game setting.

Outside of Elysia, there isn't a Canon theologist God figure, per se, so any further exploration into just what he believes might help you define his moral and spiritual beliefs since we can't just point to Catholicism; Christianity; Judaism, etc in game to explain their core beliefs outside of the opposition to Soul transfers. For the sake of clarity, please briefly go into what he believes at the core.

If you'd like, you can create a Christian like religion but just keep in mind that some things aren't going to make sense since our Earth doesn't exist anymore. And when living beings are man-made, people tend to not believe in a God- they tend to believe in the science that made them. (Typically but not always.)


Dad and the Military:

Why did he have a conflict with his dad over enlistment? Why did he remain living with his father past 18? I'd think that if his dad REALLY didn't like him he would've been kicked out sooner or enlisted earlier to possibly get away.

Otherwise, this is a fairly basic biography. Hope to hear your answers and further deliberations n this. =)
 
Edited, hope I made it better, if not, (i was short on time) I'll check it when I get back home.
The age was a mistake. It was late (for me) and so I threw an Age in, sorry for the mistake, its 18 now :oops:
 
For the record, there IS a form of Judaism on Nepleslia, formed of mostly ethnic Hebrew and Arabic peoples. It's not called Judaism of course, but it's there.

The people call themselves, "The People of the Book." The book they use is a copy of corrupted religious texts, so it doesn't look or read much like the Bible or Talmud.
 
Aside from some odd wording choices and grammar, this looks fine.

This character is approved for IC usage. Please add him to the wiki and place a request for orders in the orders' thread in the SAoY Communications network. I recommend doing a final spell/grammar check as well now that time doesn't feel so pressing. =)
