A slave to her own badness
The fun thing about foreign words for names is that you can construct lame puns around them.
Also, it seems that over time, one develops a sixth sense: Sue detection. I knew something was bad-wrong from the moment I laid eyes on the first page here:
You'll never guess which part dinged my "Uh-oh" alarm.
In any event, "Cativo" was an interesting name, especially on a female, so I checked it out. At first I thought it might be Italian--cattivo, meaning bad, naughty, or somewhat evilish (like the English word "caitiff"). But then I discovered that it's Portuguese--meaning slave or prisoner, like "captive".
This is going badly already.
Behold, the "best of all worlds" description! She's "quite thin" but curvy "where it matters" (and where does it matter, by the way?); she looks like jailbait but has the wisdom of decades older; and she's got hot and cold running temperament. Also, "perfectly preserved" by means of frost, which puts me first in mind of freezer-burnt steaks. I don't think that's what she was aiming for...
Now, before I show you the next couple of images, I should explain a couple features of TotalRP2 for those not knowing them. TRP2 lets you select "states" for your character--buffs or debuffs that show up as soon as your character is targeted, giving advance details of the first things others should notice about them. For instance, you can show that your character is "Neatly Groomed", or "is wearing expensive clothes and jewelry". But sometimes, you'll get a situation where it doesn't make a lot of sense:
So basically, she's built like the She-Hulk, which totally makes sense considering she's "quite thin". Also, she smells like the forest, despite being a death knight and pretty much frozen solid.
But the real crowner of this comes courtesy of another of TRP2's features: the Personality page. It gives you sliders by which you can tell people some of your character's traits--on a scale of 1 to 19 (total 20, you can never be 20 of anything), where does your character fall between Truthful and Deceitful, or Generous and Selfish, or others. They don't always make sense, but I suppose everyone's biased somehow.
Well, I'll let this speak for itself:
I...I can't...
