Character name: Firefly Osiris
Character description/bio: bio
Position(s) you are interested in: Luminary or Reaper
Potential plots/ideas: Firefly has seen her home get torn apart one two many times. After the loss of animals she considered friends, Aurum and Elsweyr, and her brother, Firefly gets fed up with sitting on her back legs and kicks herself into action. She assumes the position of a pseudo-general and takes up arms in order to fight for her home and to place it back into the paws of Tanglewood-based leadership.
To keep herself occupied, Firefly begins implementing things around the territory to make her way of life a little bit easier. She finds that she has a knack for building and inventing.
Firefly can not have children, whatever accident she had when she was younger rendered her baby-making bits useless. Instead, she takes on the role of mentor or teacher, and will often find herself baby-sitting for new or exasperated mothers. She's charismatic and bubbly, so she makes for a fun time for the kiddos.
Potential plans for Tanglewood, specifically:
Fire Festival, a week taken out of the agricultural year, celebrating good harvests and new beginnings. Once the old crops are harvested, they are set ablaze alongside other symbolic items in order to start anew. The ashes of the old crops are mixed in with the new soil and compost made from swamp water and other assorted yucks, and these mixtures are used to plant new crops in for the coming year.
Changing of the Masks, an extension of the mask traditions that have been in place for generations. Though not an official rank, maskmenders are very important to Tangler life and are treated as such. Every so often, a new group of maskmenders will be anointed by the old. When this happens, the entire group comes together to make a new set of masks for the up-and-coming maskmenders to wear as a symbol of gratitude. Parents and mentors are encouraged to make starter masks for their little ones to celebrate with at this time, with the intention of the starter mask being the one that will be finished once the child completes the Mask Vigil.
Why would your character's position be beneficial for their group and what do you offer to the group as a whole?: Firefly is a character that brings a lot of hope and optimism to the swampy sorrowful Tanglewood. She's bright and wholesome and though she not exactly the most skilled in battle, she's a good friend and would lay down her life for the people who matter most to her.
She's not really into leadership for the role of it all, and therefore she takes to it more like a volunteer gig than a power play. She offers her fellow Tanglers guidance and hope because she's been through a helluva lot of battles and a ton of awful things and she would rather her home be led by somebody who at least cares about it than its role in giving tyrants a bigger ego.
I'm also back from a hiatus and I have the time to commit to BoB again. I've been around BoB since its creation (and before), so I've been around the leadership block a time or two. I also figured I'd try to give Firefly something to do since I've had her for... six? seven? years. Might as well.
