 ---- CHARACTER INFORMATION ---- 


Name: Sarah Florauna
Age: 27
Gender Identity: Female
Sexuality: Straight
Height: 5'3"
Occupation: Farmer/Greenhouse Assistant

Personality: Sarah is upbeat, optimistic, and always ready to work hard with a smile on her face and a williness to always look at the sunny side of life. She is very passionate about such things as plants and is very happy she gets to work in the farms and greenhouses to help grow food for the people of the ship. And flowers, if only to decorate the ship and make things more beautiful~. Though she's usually pretty quiet, and thus, doesn't usually speak unless spoken to, if one were to engage in a conversation with her about any of the above, she could talk for hours and hours.

On the other hand, she really doesn't like being called fat or just about any negative remark in regards to her appearance. She's a living example of how fat doesn't play fair, and that despite all the exercise she does, it doesn't really do too much to change that fact. For this reason, she tends to not go out of her way to talk to people very much, not wanting them to stare at her in disapproval. She is proud of the fact that at least she's healthy, though, and even tries to use her size to her advantage to try and excercise her muscles, too, especially when farming. 

Her sense of fashion can be considered top-notch; as she not only figured out the right kind of hair spray that she wanted to use for her hair, but was able to come up with an outfit that makes someone her size look great. It's for this reason that she likes to design and sew outfits in her spare time, not just for herself, but for her family and friends, too.

Likes: Rocks, plants, identifying rocks and plants, people who work hard, are honest, and don't blow up the ship. Also, any flower in the Liliaceae family~.
Dislikes: Being called fat, being looked down upon, overly aggressive/rude people in general.

History: Just like everyone else on the Auroris, Sarah was born on the ship and has lived her whole life on it. From an early age, she showed a fascination for plants, rocks, and everything that one can find in large quantities on a terrestrial world but not as much on an entire spaceship. As a result, she knew early on, way before her 16th birthday, that she wanted to be in the Specialist faction and work as a farmer and a greenhouse assistant. She wasn't quite as excited about having Pokemon, though, especially when her brother handed her his reject Gabite who didn't really care much about her either.

Unfortunately, she was also painfully aware of how her figure was a lot larger than most people's, and couldn't fit into many of the main fashions avaliable at the time. Or whenever she tried to, they didn't turn out too well. Despite this, she managed to make a few friends as she grew up; just not quite as many as the average person would, whether it was because they didn't want to talk to her, she didn't want them to make fun of her, or both. It really wasn't until she started taking an interest in sewing thanks to her mother and realized that she could design outfits that worked for herself that she began to get some of her self-confidence back, and soon, even other people started to realize and appreciate her intellect and creativity. Even Kyumu started to respect her more at this point, and gave her the confidence to try and get two more Pokemon, who ended up appreciating her way more than Kyumu ever did.

Now, she continues to work for the ship while raising her three Pokemon, the best friends she ever had. (Well, Lilly and Igni mostly; Kyumu not so much.) She also is considering trying to find someone to marry so she can have a family, but so far, she hasn't had much success, though she remains somewhat optimistic. However, soon, her peaceful, day-to-day existence will soon be interrupted by the worst crisis the Auroris has ever seen...

Relationships:

Christopher Florauna - Father
Petunia Florauna - Mother
Ralph Florauna - Older brother

Additional Notes: Her last name, Florauna, is also the name of the species that Wildvine is in Ben 10.

 ---- POKEMON ---- 

Name: Venus
Gender: Female
Species: Venusaur



Nature: Hardy
Ability: Overgrow
Size: 6'3"
Attacks: Sleep Powder, Sludge Bomb, Vine Whip, Petal Dance
Personality: Venus tended to be a bit more battle oriented compared to the other Pokemon who helped out in the greenhouses, and would often become a bit restless whenever she gets bored. But she still cares very much about the Florauna family. And while she's understandably shocked by everything that just happened, including the fact that her original trainer might now be dead, she's still in denial and refuses to believe it, thinking that Sarah's parents still have to be alive. In the meantime, she's not going to let anything happen to Sarah.
Extras: Venus used to belong to Sarah's mother, Petunia Florauna, which was why Sarah ended up taking her out of the PC at the last second before the Pokemon Centers collapsed. 

 Name: Kyumu
Gender: Male
Species: Gabite



Nature: Serious
Ability: Rough Skin
Size: 4'7"
Attacks: Dragon Claw, Sand Tomb, Bulldoze, Roar
Personality: Kyumu loves battling, and is pretty good at it, too! Unfortunately, with the Auroris' policy of limiting the strength of Pokemon on board lest they blow a hole in the side of the ship, and with Sarah wanting to follow that rule as much as she can, she doesn't let him out of the PC a lot, much to his distain. She only uses him when someone challenges her to a battle, and there, he's happy to help, but all other times, he likely won't listen to Sarah very much, as he's still relatively bitter about her brother Ralph handing him over to Sarah just because Ralph wanted a better Pokemon on his team.
Extras: He was named after the Gallade hero in a certain sci-fi epic that Sarah loved to read.

(Lilly the Petili and Igni the Carbink are now dead. Unfortunately.)

May I ask what inspired you to create this character?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Galactic-Rainbow In reply to MegaLCRO [2014-08-22 00:05:49 +0000 UTC]

Well, I wanted to create a character...in SPACE (oooooh!) to fit the scenario that this OCT takes place in, you know, ordinary people living out their lives on a flagship that's now suddenly a death trap and blah blah blah. But! I did not want to make an Amy character, for she would not fit in very well in this scenario. (Even though it's in space, it's not the kind of space I would put her in, if you know what I mean.)

So I wanted to go with a different sort of girl this time around, taking advantage of the fact that we're allowed to design them with oddly colored hair. I was originally going to base her off of Sarah Werec, the main character of Strain: Strategic Armored Infantry, but I didn't want her to be too similar to Werec...so I instead decided to go with my current interest in plants, thanks to The Secrets of Translocation, as her interest and job.

As for why I made her a lot, shall we say, bigger than usual...I realized two things. 

1. My drawing style is very suitable towards creating realistic-sized human bodies, which is rather "fat" by most other drawing style's standards, unfortunately. I just blame them for making people too weight conscious to an unhealthy degree. :-I
2. Despite this, I haven't actually depicted a fat character yet, so I figured I might as well go all the way and try one out!

So that's how Sarah Florauna came to be! I just wish I was a little more interested in her and her team, but of course, that's my responsibility, not anyone else'.

Very nice, indeed. Thank you for the explanation.

Perhaps we need to have an interview session at some point, lol.

Speaking of interviews, have you seen spyrofreak 's interview of me?

DA Interviews 02: Amy-the-JigglypuffGood day my fellow Deviant’s, I’m spyrofreak01 and I’m back with another DA-Interview.

This week we interview someone that some of you would probalby know, and I’m talking about Amy-The-Jigglypuff. Amy, it is good to have you here this week.
Haha, thanks! Glad to be here too~.
Well, we shall start off with the first question then. How did you find dA?
Actually, when I was in 11th grade or so, several of my friends in my Computer Graphics/Animation classes had dA accounts and were exchanging each other’s account info, and I thought I’d make one too just for the heck of it. At the time, though, I didn’t really post too much because, well, I made a lot of original art featuring alien characters of my own creation and such, and was worried about people stealing them, and blah blah blah. It really wasn’t until near the end of 12th grade when I began posting pictures accompanying my explosion of Pokemon fanfiction p

If you're interested in an interview, perhaps it can be in this format. (Though hopefully, with different questions! XD)

MegaLCRO In reply to Galactic-Rainbow [2014-08-22 03:49:22 +0000 UTC]

Yes! This is precisely why I think you and I could do an interview. I'd have to think of more than two questions, of course...

Galactic-Rainbow In reply to MegaLCRO [2014-08-22 03:51:53 +0000 UTC]

Oh yeah. I think it would be fun! Just take your time, and let me know when you've thought of enough good questions.

MegaLCRO In reply to Galactic-Rainbow [2014-08-22 04:09:57 +0000 UTC]

...all the good questions were taken, XD. I'll make it work.

Galactic-Rainbow In reply to MegaLCRO [2014-08-22 04:14:03 +0000 UTC]

Naaaah, I am way sure that there's like a bajillion better questions that I really would like to answer. XD Keep trying!

Okay this style is REALLY cool. I like the fact that she seems bigger than most of the other competitors, it's different.

Galactic-Rainbow In reply to BeefyStew [2014-05-29 03:07:00 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I really wanted to experiment with both a new art style and a different character body type than usual.

Galactic-Rainbow In reply to Siate [2014-05-28 16:05:55 +0000 UTC]

I have to admit, I wasn't exactly expecting to see so many botanist related people in the Specialist faction, but I guess if the leader himself is one, then... XD

And thanks for the warm welcome!

Siate In reply to Galactic-Rainbow [2014-05-28 18:59:24 +0000 UTC]

They need a lot of people to take care of the gardens, I would think!

not any more though since they've been...hit...

I dig the art style, and the character herself is pretty awesome. Also, that Carbink is possibly the most adorable thing I've seen recently OMG. <3  Sarah's backstory is interesting, too.  Looking forward to funtimes aboard the Auroris with her.

Thank you! I definitely look forward to seeing how this OCT will go! I was worried she wouldn't be noticed since there are so many competitors joining at once... XD

Galactic-Rainbow In reply to FoxRodDraws [2014-05-26 03:14:32 +0000 UTC]

Pfft, and here I thought it would have the opposite effect with her going, "Losing now *flips tables*". 

It would be fun to see how far we get in the tournament, or even just interacting for NPCs.

And now an exact quote from Lauren
"Fuck it, I'm gonna join. >:U I hate you both."

And I'll be surprise if I make it as far as I did in SXL, or further
