Liz again! Apping my second character. :)

THE BASICS

Name: Imanu'el ben-Yoshiyahu (born Rachel bat-Eliakim)
Age: 36
Gender: Male
Nationality and/or ethnicity: German and Greek heritage. He speaks Greek and Turkish fluently, but has lost most of his German given he has no real excuse to speak it anymore.
Religion: Presents himself as a practitioner of Reformed Judaism, but is privately still attached to the Orthodoxy of his youth. When he isn't at work, he takes great comfort in the mitzvot and religious meditation.
Marital status: Unmarried. Out of a powerful self-preservation instinct, Imanu'el makes a conscious effort to avoid emotional attachments to just about anyone. When he does experience sexual or romantic attraction, however, it is exclusively for women.
Occupation: Officer of the Kostantiniyye City Guard.
Physical description: A man of middling height and a solid, stocky build, with a face that most wouldn't describe as handsome (which probably didn't register as beautiful for Rachel, either). His eyes and hair are ( ... )

This sounds awesome and very interesting, and since it's you I know you won't be guilty of gender!fail. On the religion front we have a couple of people here who know their stuff about Judaism so I'm sure they can help if you get stuck. So, approved!

Yay, I just saw this! Loving the number of characters we have who are something other than cis binary dyadic men and women! :D

(...feels weird saying that from my Randolph account XD)

More questions about golems oni_neko June 17 2012, 23:41:03 UTC
I'm slowly getting closer to an actual application for the golem character but I have question that I'd like some answers to.

Things like how independent are golems? do they require constant supervision or can you give one an order and expect that it would be carried out in your absence reasonably well?

For Golem in the watch are they assigned to specific officers or just part of a general pool of golem that are pulled out and used when needed?

and I was curious about what the lifespan of a golem might be. alos are golem the property of the one of made them? or of the person who has them and is giving them orders? Also what pronoun is used for Golem?

Very helpful! Though I did forget to ask one more important question....Do golems have voices? as in can they speak? if not how do they communicate? do they write things down or use gestures and body language?

One more question (sorry this will the last one for a bit. really) What sort of identification is used to distinguish one golem from another? Do they have names? Or numbers? job titles?

THE BASICS

Name: Algernon (Gerry to his friends) Smythe - he's a second cousin to Katherine Henchingley-Smythe
Age: 28
Gender: male
Nationality and/or ethnicity: white British
Religion: Western Christian, in a very middle-of-the-road sort of way
Marital status: single
Occupation: will be Randolph's new attache
Physical description: Short (5'5"), neat, delicate features but a compact rather than slender body, dark hair, pale eyes. Quite handsome, if you like short, youthful-looking young Englishmen.
PB: Elijah Wood

FURTHER DETAILS

Back story: Algernon was born into a diplomatic family and passed his early childhood in various parts of Europe as a spoiled only child. At the age of 13 he was sent to Eton, and after that attended Merton College, Oxford, where he studied Classics and Modern Languages - Classics to please the old guard in the Foreign Office and Modern Languages for practical reasons. As part of that degree course, he spent a year at the University of Kostantiniyye. Upon graduation, he sat the entrance exam for admission ( ... )

THE BASICS

Name: Dihyā al-Umari
Age: (working on this)
Gender: uncertain?, uses "her/she" pronouns
Nationality and/or ethnicity: ethnicity unknown, either citizen or subject of Kostantiniyye (not sure which is more plausible, or if either is - Dihyā is an emancipated slave)
Religion: Muslim (convert)
Marital status: Unmarried
Occupation: Doctor/surgeon
Physical description: (working on this)
PB: [to come]

FURTHER DETAILS

Back story: Dihyā was purchased as a small child by respected Ottoman physician/surgeon Haidar ibn Israa al-Umari, while he was travelling before settling in Kostantiniyye, from a patient who was mistreating her. She doesn't really know anything about her parentage or background (it's not a Big Dramatic Secret or anything, it's just not information that her previous owner bothered with, so I doubt she'll ever know). She had already undergone (involuntary) cliteridectomy and infibulation. He raised her to assist him in his work, she showed a great aptitude for his profession, she converted to Islam, and ( ... )
