workshop 2 - day three exercise

Kalon Name: Devon
Link to Kalon: xxx
How many different places have they lived:
As a child, he moved around a lot; he lived with his single dad and they'd often switch houses and apartments, usually when his dad broke up with or found a new partner. It's one of the reasons Dev has commitment issues- he learnt from his dad. They did move towns, but only when his dad messed up really badly. Which was more common that Dev would have liked at the time. Overall, he's lived in more places than he can count, but he doesn't think about them a lot. He's learnt to live with them.

Why did they settle down where they are currently:
When he finished high school, he decided that he quite liked the town his dad had brought him to this time. It had good food, good stores, and good people- so it was quite good enough for Devon. It was nothing amazing, sure, but Devon wasn't looking for amazing. Just... something reliable, something that was always there and could deal with his own flightiness. He managed to scrape together enough money to rent a small flat of his own- he loved his dad and all but he wanted to see what it was like to actually have a steady home base.

Is there an ideal place they want to live, or are they already there:
Honestly Devon hasn't thought about that; he doesn't like having really extensive and detailed and inflexible plans. Having a solid roof over his head is basically as far as his goals go. He's entertained the idea of traveling to exotic and exciting places but he's never worked up the motivation to make those ideas into reality. So he doesn't really have an ideal place to live- but he's definitely not currently 'living the dream', either.

What are the biggest moments that have defined their life:
It was probably the first time Devon had to move towns that affected him a lot. Up to then, he and his dad had just hopped around the town he'd been born in, but his dad had had a particularly messy relationship and needed to get far, far away. This was at a time when Devon actually had good friends and people he thought would be there for his whole life, so leaving that all behind was a horrible experience. He tried to keep in contact, but he was never really good at the distance thing. That's when he realized that saying final goodbyes- and not getting to attached to anything - were what he'd have to do in his life, to reduce the hurt to everyone.

Does their future have a bright or darker outlook, and can they change it:
Despite his less than impressive goals, Devon would say his life is getting brighter; he's met someone who has captured his heart, and changed his life already in ways that have made Devon undoubtedly happier. He's slowly learning through this relationship that there's no need to be scared of commitment, like his dad was; he's slowly putting down roots and making his rental house into a true home. It's a new experience for him, but hey, if there's one thing Devon's always liked, it's trying something new.

Workshop Two - Day Three Exercise

Kalon Name: Avalon
Link to Kalon: ❀

How many different places have they lived:
Two, officially, including her current place of accommodation, but considering the amount of time she spent in her father’s museum, the answer to this question may as well be three. When Avalon was younger, she lived in an apartment in the city with her parents, which was constantly filled with the muted noise of the vehicles on the road outside. The streets were busy, bustling with rushed businessmen and office workers. Life in the city was fast-paced and filled with excitement.

Often, Avalon’s father would take her to the museum with him. She would revel in its silence and serenity - a refuge from the noisy life outside. After returning from school, Avalon would frolic in its huge, dimly-lit halls, before joining her father quietly in his study, where his bespectacled figure would sit a desk stacked with papers. He’d work late into the night, sometimes even overnight. Avalon would, covered with pillows and a blanket, on a soft sofa in the corner of the room, fall into a comfortable slumber.

Why did they settle down where they are currently:
Avalon has moved to a coastal city to pursue her career of oceanography, and currently lives in an apartment overlooking a lake. Her apartment is located in the slightly quieter, calmer part of the city, which is ideal for her.

Is there an ideal place they want to live, or are they already there:
Avalon likes the endless possibilities and abundance of opportunities the city offers her, but, at the same time, enjoys the quiet. Her current apartment is perfect for her, in these aspects, but she would eventually like to expand her horizons and experience different environments.

What are the biggest moments that have defined their life:
Avalon had originally intended to pursue her father in becoming a historian of some sort, but when he took her to a beach one day to express its historical significance to a war and point out the memorial statues erected on its behalf, Avalon found herself more captivated by the ocean than her father’s explanations. As a child, she couldn’t comprehend the beauty of the rolling waves, the white foam, the way the ocean seemed to inhale and exhale every few seconds . . . it seemed so deep, so bottomless, and there was so much to be discovered - so much unexplored potential. Avalon wanted to be the one to bring out that potential, to reveal the secrets of the sea.

After that trip, Avalon forgot all about that incident until years later, when geographic studies at school made all the memories of her first impression of the sea return. It was then that Avalon realised that she still felt the same passion for discovering more about the mysteries of the ocean, and this prompted her to consider oceanography as a career.

Does their future have a bright or darker outlook, and can they change it:
Avalon’s future has a bright outlook - she’s lived a lawful, wholesome, and fairly privileged life, and has worked diligently towards her life goals. She has high standards for both her own development and her career, and with hard work and motivation, she’s sure to reach even greater places!

Workshop Two - Day Three Exercise

Kalon Name: Nyneve
Link to Kalon: viewtopic.php?f=103&t=3112083&hilit=nyneve#p100115062
How many different places have they lived:
She's only lived in two different areas thus far - firstly her place of birth in Europe and secondly her place of refuge for a few years in what's currently known as Zambia. Now she's on the road again, headed for ancient China. She's visited many places in her life but has yet to settle a third time.
Why did they settle down where they are currently:
Well, she's not currently settled but I suppose I'll answer for why she's currently on the road. She left her secondary home because she feared for her own safety with civilized populations moving too close. She met her current mate in a time of high tension, and he convinced her to come with him so that they could seek assistance in conservation from his old country. She agreed to join him on his journey for revenge, in hopes of reclaiming her old home and getting closer to him.
Is there an ideal place they want to live, or are they already there:
Her former home in the marshlands of Bangweulu in Zambia was the place she's always called home. There she was happy and had a close relationship with the wattled cranes, whom she fought to protect and would heal the sick. She was free to practice herbology and free from nearby civilizations. She fears civilized groups because they don't often take well to her "witchy" ways. Local civilizations continued to push closer and closer, until suddenly she would find herself hiding at least once a day from stray villagers. Her endangered cranes suffered from habitat loss and poaching. Feeling helpless in her own home, she dared leave but would love to return someday, though deep down she has a feeling it's too late.
What are the biggest moments that have defined their life:
oh boy honestly I'm running through a few ideas as to what it was that made her leave her hometown, so I don't really wish to speak to those right now until I decide what's canon. But whatever idea I go with is definitely going to be a big event for her. Also, the days she spent with Liew before deciding to embark were a critical point in her character too.
Does their future have a bright or darker outlook, and can they change it:
Her whole life has been finding a bright point and losing it to external circumstances so I don't expect that to change. I think there's definitely a little of both coming her way, but mostly bright. I'm not yet sure what will happen when she and Liew make their way to his country, but I hope that once that dust is settled there's at least a glimmer of light after such a long journey. The pair will also soon be meeting his kids from a former relationship so I have high hopes for a lot of development there. She's very nurturing and would likely adore them.

Workshop Two - Day Three Exercise

Kalon Name: Daikos
Link to Kalon: Boop!
How many different places have they lived: Daikos is all over the map! Canada, Paris, Jamaica, Hollywood... the list goes on! As a scam artist and diamond smuggler, Daikos has the money to pay for any travel as well as motivation for the next scam. He has to move around a lot to avoid capture, and whether that's a gift or a curse is anybody's guess.
Why did they settle down where they are currently: They are currently in Hollywood, where the rich are plentiful, cocky and therefore stupid, and easy to trick.
Is there an ideal place they want to live, or are they already there: Daikos would like to settle down and relax a bit for a short while in Mexico, and just enjoy life for a little bit for his first non-job-related vacation.
What are the biggest moments that have defined their life: One scam, where Daikos was in Paris, sent him to prison.

He stood gripping the bars so tightly his knuckles turned white. He tuned out the din of inmates around him and tried to ignore the stiff orange jumpsuit he was forced to wear. Everything had gone wrong.

Four days ago, Daikos stood at the base of one of the world's greatest landmarks, the Eiffel Tower. He was wearing a cap and fake nametag, blending in perfectly with employees who worked the ticket booths. The difference was he had no booth and definitely didn't work there.
He'd been doing this scam every day for months. It worked wonderfully, and Kalontines was the busiest time of the year. He sold fake tickets up the tower to lovers waiting in line, claiming they were "express tickets" that would let them skip ahead of the line. The fools were up to a rude awakening when the real employees wouldn't accept the counterfeits.
Daikos had never been caught for his scams before, but now he had 36 months to replay the event over and over: glancing over his shoulder to notice in horror two approaching officers, sprinting down the streets of Paris, getting thrown on the ground and cuffed.
This Kalontines couldn't have gone worse.

Does their future have a bright or darker outlook, and can they change it: Depending on who you ask, the answer is different. For Daikos, he lives a life full of money and adrenaline. Others would consider his life as a criminal as shallow and without purpose, a menace to society.
Because Daikos has kept under the radar, he has no real identity according to his record. If he wanted to, he could leave his past behind him and move on. But mentally, could he change? No, not likely.

Kalon Name: Llaure
Link to Kalon: link

How many different places have they lived:

Since Llaure is part of a secret division, he had been moving around quite a lot. Mostly in America or Europe. He doesn't exactly stay in one place a lot due to the nature of his role.
It's safe to say that he's been around, especially since he needs to stay discreet.


Why did they settle down where they are currently:

Despite Llaure's bloodline, he chooses to primarily keep America as his home. That's why he has a settlement in Miami, Florida where he would be if he isn't on his 'job'. He grew up in New York but Miami had always been a home for him due to his teenage years there.


Is there an ideal place they want to live, or are they already there:

Llaure is comfortable with where he is currently. Though, if he had the choice, he would move to France. He's very fond of the european country, especially since he was born there. It's calmer there anyway. This may shock you but Llaure's a pretty big romantic.


What are the biggest moments that have defined their life:

The day that his lover died in his arms. He did everything he could to save them but he knew deep down, that he murdered his significant other. The memory of watching the life fade out of their eyes changed Llaure's life. It was never the same after that as he desperately tries to move on.


Does their future have a bright or darker outlook, and can they change it:

Dim and unpredictable. His clear path hasn't shown yet. He's currently happy now, though.
