So Close [So Far Away]

[Diniveka|The|Zsadist]

Name:: Temeraire Dragonseeker

Gender:: Female

Age:: 33

Species:: Human

Physical Appearance:: Temeraire is a tall woman at 6 foot, and very slim. Her straight red hair is ruffled, spiked up naturally. It reaches her shoulder blades, with the ends dyed black. The long strands are braided, and tipped with silver beads that click as she walks. She is toned, with some visible muscle but not enough to make her look like a bodybuilder or an obsessive health freak. She has a line of six piercings, gold rings, along her left cheekbone. A thin gold chain connects the lowest ring to a black bar that runs through the top of her left ear. That ear has a number of gold rings running from the lobe all the way up to the bottom part of the bar. Her skin is darkly tanned, and has the veins of a few old scars running over it, white on the surrounding cinnamon brown. Her almond-shaped eyes are an electric green and slightly tilted, filled with intelligence, with long dark lashes surrounding them. Little vertical black lines come down from the middle of her eyes, and she wears dark eyeliner, giving her an eerie appearance. High cheekbones and full lips give her the look of a high-bred noble, but she was brought up in a far different area. Temeraire has long nails, filed into points and painted black normally. Every so often, she will have a word or two painted on each hand, and currently they spell out 'fiction' with a love heart at the end in white. A deep red tattoo covers her body in swirling lines, everywhere but her face, and they are all interconnected but not clustered, so they aren't overbearing on her skin. They aren't present on her feet and one hand, the right hand having a thin tendril that drifts to an end halfway down the back of it. She is normally dressed in dark jeans and a blouse, in whatever colour she feels like wearing at the time. A necklace is always clasped around her throat, a thin chain matching the one on her cheek, and a small emerald pendant hangs from it. Either chucks or classy heels are on her feet, depending on where she's going and who she's going with. A short black leather jacket tops the outfit off, with two rows of silver buckles running down the front, paired, with little crosses etched into it.

Personality:: A caring soul, Temeraire is very rooted in the earth and all things on it. She is willing to go to the ends of the earth for those who have earnt her trust and loyalty, but is choosy when it comes to trusting. Tough as nails, she won't back down if confronted, and won't give in, even when risking death. She always keeps her promises, even if it risks her life in the process. She is tough, with a strong will that has enabled her to become the best at what she does. Stubborn and perseverant, she won't stop until her goal is complete. Ever patient, she is slow to anger but can hold a grudge for years. She always knows what's going on around her, constantly vigilant for any sign of attack. Courageous, Temeraire will never back down from a fight, and will stand with those who have earnt the right. She can be really funny, and will crack jokes at times, but will always become serious as the time demands. She isn't used to company, so doesn't really know how to behave lightly, but she is slowly learning. She is prone to having momentary fits of insanity, but they pass quickly and are easily laughed off. She is relatively quiet, but will speak her mind if she believes it necessary.

History:: Orphaned at a young age, Temeraire was raised by close friends of her parents. These close friends were both involved with the military, so she grew up with weapons, and the constant possibility of the death of the ones she knew. She was enrolled in a martial arts academy from the age of five, and was learning to handle firearms by seven. Her foster parents lived on a small farm near the SEAL base, so she grew up knowing her own workload and quickly learnt that she needed to pull her weight. She was taught to ride, and quickly picked it up. Quickly, she gained her black belt in two martial arts, and her excellent marksperson ranking at 200 metres. At the age of 26, Temeraire was accepted into the SEALs, the first woman to do so in the sub-divisions history. She is still with the military, but is on her off year. She recently heard that her step-brother has gotten himself into the Navy in another country that isn't so wracked by the Zombies, and is really proud of her little brother. Her foster-father died a few years ago, but she still keeps in contact with her foster mother, Anne, and her step-brothers, Jaxon and Matthew. She lives in one of the hideouts in the ruins, where she keeps her three dogs, Kylar, a rottweiler; Atlas, a German shepherd; and Rydan, a husky.

Other::

HOME:: Haven -- One of the more whole buildings, the Haven is a small farmhouse on the very edge of civilisation, or what's left of it. A large yard at the back with broken fences is thriving, the grass long and untamed. The house itself has lost most of it's top floor, with only two whole rooms upstairs. The bottom is pretty much whole, with a run-down old deck outside and a high, broken fence out the front.

WOC:: two specialised blades, called malebranches.

Song/Quote::
So Far Away - Avenged Sevenfold

Never feared for anything.
Never shamed but never free.
A laugh that healed the broken heart with all that it could.

Lived the life so endlessly.
Saw beyond what others see.
I tried to heal your broken heart with all that I could.

Will you stay?
Will you stay away forever?

How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned.
Place and time always on my mind.
I have so much to say but you're so far away.

Plans of what our features hold
Foolish lies of growin' old
It seems we're so invincible, the truth is so cold.

A final song, a last request
A perfect chapter laid to rest
Now and then I try to find a place in my mind.

Where you can say,
You can stay awake forever.

How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned.
Place and time always on my mind.
I have so much to say but you're so far away.

Sleep tight, I'm not afraid.
The ones that we love are here with me.
Lay away a place for me
'Cause as soon as I'm done, I'll be on my way
To live eternally.

How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
And the light you left remains but it's so hard to stay
I have so much to say but you're so far away.

I love you
You were ready
The pain is strong enough to despise
But I'll see you
When He lets me
Your pain is gone, your hands are tied.

So far away.

And I need you to know

So far away
And I need you to,
Need you to know...
