Aruba #8

Postby meveh » Sun Jan 11, 2015 10:18 am

    What is an Aruba?
An aruba is a sea-dwelling creature comparable to seals and fish. Arubae have a horn which allows them to use basic magic, although some arubae may train and hone their magic use. Arubae love to collect various trinkets, though their main interest is anything shiny or glittery. They stash their treasure hoard inside undersea caves. Arubae have four limbs: the upper pair are used for inspecting and manipulating with their opposable thumbs, while the lower pair are used for additional swimming power as well as carrying the various items they find while scavenging shipwrecks. They are omnivorous scavengers, and will eat whatever they can find.


To win this aruba, fill out the form below. I want to know what his/her most prized possession is, and why. Word limit is 500.

Name:
Reia Penthesilea
[Meaning 'queen'] [A queen of the Amazons]
Gender:
Female ♀
Most Prized Possession & Why: [ 401/500]
What it is..
Reia's most prized possession is a shiny silver bracelet, that seems to glimmer in the same way as her eyes. Though, it is not just that! There is rusted key attached to the bracelet, and this key is the reason she treasures the bracelet so greatly. Though the key is rusty, and most other aruba would pay it no mind, Reia is puzzled by it. What does this odd little thing do? What purpose does it serve? All the other little things that she found that resemble it, seem to fit into a chest found somewhere else in the shipwreck it was found. Once Reia remembered that, she decided that this key, too, must have a box. And, what would that box be filled with? Jewels and gems? Golden coins, or rare artifacts? Reia likes to fantasize about the gorgeous items her key's box might hold, and the envious looks on all the other arubas' faces, when they realize how worthy her rusty key turned out to be.
Where she found it..
Reia found her precious key inside the wreckage of a trading ship washed away in a storm. The ship had crashed long before this aruba came upon it, but it happened to be one of her first times out looking for trinkets when she was young. Due to the age of the shipwreck, most aruba set their sights elsewhere, but Reia decided to give it a look. After about an hour, Reia, ever the impatient one, was set to quit, when her gaze was met with a disturbance under the water-worn wood. She swam closer, and after a moment of pawing at it, the sand that had settled dispersed. Reia lifted a shiny bracelet up to her maroon face for closer inspection. At first, she had scowled in displeasure, but since it was all she found, took the bracelet anyway. She hadn't had any luck the next day, or the day after. Reia would glare at the bracelet, but a few days later, news of a lucky aruba reached her ears. The aruba had found a key that opened up to a cave priceless treasures. Now, whether this was fact or fiction remains unknown to this day, but Reia took it to heart, and began to see her key in a new light. Constantly, she continues to brag about the great things her key will unlock.

Username: Tyger, Tyger
Name: Lace
Gender: female
Most Prized Possession & Why: [limit 500 words]

Lace had always been interested in material. Soft, rough, fluffy, she loved to collect scraps of silk and cotton from cargo ships that had been bringing rich fabrics. She ties them all to her arms, creating the illusion of feathers. Her favourite fabric is lace, and the others named her after it.

    Username: imperfalence / foreign-potato
    Name: Marseille
    Gender: Female
    Most Prized Possession & Why: An antique brass candle holder. It doesn't seem like much and it lost its actual candle a long time ago, but Marseille loves it. Not only is she highly fascinated by it (among other human artifacts she has also dug up in shipwrecks) but she is intrigued by the substance that it can tame - fire. Being basically water bound and having known water so well it is an attachment to her body, she can't help but rebel slightly for the opposing element. It's totally unknown territory, and a dangerous one at that. She has seen it engulf forests way up on land and consume the sky with its smoke. Aside from that totally violent and out of control display, she is very familiar with the candles that an old lighthouse man likes to put in the windows. A much safer and controlled event in contrast. Very peculiar things.
