Sturm

Sturm "At one time in the world there were woods that no one owned." -- Cormac McCarthy, Child of God       OVERVIEW Appearance: Mask: Built like a fuckin' refrigerator and towering over average folks at 7'10", Sturm is a sullen-eyed blonde with an eternally grumpy disposition - and an ever-present frown to match. She sports an undercut, and wears her hair in big viking-type braid that she keeps meticulous care of. Almost always seen wearing dark clothing. Rarely without a jacket unless it is simply too hot to get away with. She has the build and physique of a professional fighter, and her knuckles are scarred from all the places they've split over the years. Mien: Build-wise, not much changes for those who can see past the mask. A pair of tusks jut out from Sturm's mouth, and her skin is a deep blue, covered in a craggy, icy texture, and her snow-white braid is framed by a pair of icy, crystalline horns that continually drip frozen slurry no matter the temperature. ... and when she breathes, it briefly crystallizes in the air. Even when it isn't cold. It would appear that lately, she's becoming more mountaintop than jotun. Ymir himself would be proud. Mantle: The air around Sturm thins as if at the peak of a great mountain, and the occasional flurry will miss one's hair. Personality: To call Sturm a "private person" would be a vast understatement. She lives as far off the grid as she can, and tries to stay out of the spotlight whenever possible. However, since moving back to Philly, she's come out of her shell ever-so slightly. Sturm has a wry sense of humor, and a strong sense of duty and loyalty that will see her doing almost anything to protect her friends and family. Public History: - Born in Philadelphia in 1968 - Taken in 1994 - Returned in 2013 - Moved to Nacogdoches, TX in 2015 - Returned to Philadelphia in 2019   RP HOOKS "A Good Woman is Hard To Find" - Are you a Changeling with a problem? Do you need something covered up, or hidden? Someone silenced? Something found? Sturm is a Sun Banisher for the Winter Court, and she's very good at her job. "Ain't Like That Anymore" - Sturm used to be a piece of shit. That's okay, a lot of us did. Nowadays, she's pretty famous for her heel persona in the world of MMA... but she's a real sweetheart underneath the scowl. "Soldier, Poet, King" - Sturm can often be found in game shops and hobby stores indulging her miniature building/collecting/painting habits. You wouldn't expect someone with such big hands to be so delicate about it, would you? "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" - Sturm is a fighter who prides herself on her physical shape. She can frequently be seen running when it's warm - or working out at the gym/ring even when it's not. "An Injury to One is an Injury to All" - It ain't just Direct Action's motto, its a guiding principle. Whether she's dressed in black at a protest, or watching your back in a fight, friends, family, and community can count on the fact that she'll be in their corner.   CONTACTS Calamity: - Dumb kid's just gonna get themself into more and more trouble... Just hope I can keep 'em out of it. "If I could talk to my younger self now I'd say: "Don't take nothin' for granted, kid. You haven't seen just how bad things can get, and you never know what'cha got 'till it's gone. You'll never know 'till it's gone..."" Glitch: - Y'know how some people got a face you wanna punch? Nah, not him. The opposite, really. [Joyful Video Game Sounds] Sigrún: - I'm sorry I couldn't always be there - but now that I am? I'll stand beside you until the end, and tell your story if I'm still alive and able." "Hand over hand up the lifeline, luckily the knots stay tight. Silhouettes of the two of us climbing - climbing up a rope on fire." Mearcstapa: - First person I met in Philly that didn't wanna kick my ass. Won't say "like a brother" but... he means a lot. "All of this will end, so sing it now. All the things you love, all the things you loathe. Oh, sing your life" Teagan: - The only one I fully trust with my secrets. "I will travel into the wild through all kinds of violence and all kinds of silence, and I will call you home. Oh I will call you home" Lux: - Lux is... a lot sometimes. I hope they don't resent me too much, because I do really like them. "You got to roll with the punches and get to what's real" Jackie: - She's fascinating - and we're a lot alike, I think. "I get a laugh outta starin' at darkness, and wondering why people live in the light. I drive fast and I rumble the hardest, I don't feel alive if I ain't in the fight."   GALLERY   QUOTES "This is an example quote. You can leave a quote here, showing how your character would speak of Sturm behind her back." - Your Name Here "I lean on her a lot. And I think I'm at this point where I no longer feel any shame about doing so. She's there for me. I'm there for her. We're partners." - Mearcstapa "Best five seconds of my life." - Lux "She's not my mom. Miz Lawless just...hasn't figured out that I'm not worth it yet." - Calamity "As is." - Teagan "She's so hot when she's mad. I bet she could punch through a tree." - Petra
