Venus Det'kuoli

Venus Everett is the head medic found on board SeptimoDominusTantibus. She is a bubbly, tea loving medic that stumbled on-board shortly after Valentines day. Little to her knowledge she had stumbled onto the same ship as her brother. She tends to give off a calm and gentle presence as she tries her best to fit in with the rest of the crew and prove herself to be worthy of a place on-board. She greets everyone new she meets with a smile and a pot of tea. In her time on the ship she has already formed unforgettable bonds and hopes she can remain as part of the crew and aid them on their journeys for years to come. Since hopping on board she has pushed herself to learn many new things and has been able to further her talents in medicine and herbs. She has returned to the ship to further finesse her abilities as a healer before settling down long term.

## **Personality**

Venus has always been extremely carefree and has a very go with the flow attitude. She is a very peaceful and calm person and is not easily angered by any stretch however she will talk passionately about the things she enjoys. She's always been passionate about what she loves and actively seeks out ways to do better in what she enjoys. Sometimes her airheadedness gets the better of her and is often seen by herself and her friends as a weakness though she tries not to let it interfere with the relationships she has formed with those around her.

### **When you first meet them**

To strangers, Venus can be a tad apprehensive but is fast to warm to others and is overall a very caring and trusting individual. Since she's a medic by profession her first glance of a new member of the crew is usually strictly professional however she tries to lighten the mood and uses the one on one time to get to know each person she meets. She's extremely nurturing to all.

### **To others they like/dislike**

To those she likes, Venus is friendly, kind and motherly. She exudes a very warm and sweet presence and is known to take care of those close to her heart both through kind gestures and patching them up should they find themselves in the infirmary.

On the other hand, to those she dislikes she's extremely cold and somewhat hostile. Often choosing to ignore or slide snide remarks. She can be rather unpleasant but only if the other person really ruffles her feathers the wrong way.

### **Beliefs**

Venus' beliefs all correlate with a particular cluster of Morpheus God's, all of which tied together under a general spectrum of earth and healing properties. The main gods which she claims her beliefs to be in are; Gagrein and Borgichi, Healing and nature being very central in the females interests. She also strongly believes in the healing properties of crystals and herbology since this is something she has pursued from a very young age.

### **Hobbies**

Above all her hobby that she enjoys the most is studying herbs and making herbal teas and such. She also collects pressed flowers when some free time presents itself. She's also a relatively adept at sewing and cooking though these are more for in her spare time than anything. She enjoys socialising with her fellow crew and listening to others stories.

### **Likes/Dislikes**

***Likes:***

Her main likes are all linked to her love of herbology and plants such as herbal tea and rare flowers. She loves fresh fruit and sweet foods but prefers seasoned foods if savoury due to being a pescatarian. She prefers light shades of blue and gold and tends to shy away from darker colours unless necessary.

**Dislikes:**

She dislikes rude people and those who are disrespectful to their surroundings. She hates meat since shes a devout veggie herself. She isn't overly fond of alcohol since the taste is very bitter and dark colours are less favourable in her opinion.

### **Vulnerability/Fears**

In terms of emotional fears she's extremely cautious when working as she's afraid of someone dying as a result of her work. When someone dies under her hand she takes it very personally and is extremely vulnerable in such times. She's also very naive and trusting so naturally she's easier to manipulate but likes to think she's toughened up in recent years.

### **Pain threshold**

Due to having tattoos she has a slightly above high pain tolerance and can usually hold herself if injured or in pain unless severe. Torture on the other hand would be extremely effective on her, it doesn't take much to break her and she would bend to a slight authoritative figure if threatened.

### **Secrets**

The biggest secret Venus has in her opinion is the true intention of the tribe she travelled with in her younger years. Though they did teach her herbal knowledge and were friends of hers the true intention of the tribe was more of a cult following, the leader wanting the group to ascend to the same spiritual level as Data. When she found out that a mass suicide by herbal poisons would be carried out she fled for the sea on a crudely made raft in search of her brother. Though she has told some about the tribe she is less willing to admit in her younger years she made such a silly mistake.

## **Medical Information**

dependant on the situation she is in. If working she tends to cover up as much

## **Combat**

Other than her nature-bending Venus is a self-confessed
pacifist, if she can avoid combat she will and this is especially reflective in
her occupation. She sticks to healing and helping the injured as it is an area
she is more familiar and comfortable with. Though she is capable of fighting due to her position as head medic since the rise of Favilla, she has since retired from combat.

**Nature-Bending:** In order to be able to create she has to
have some natural resource already there. (EG – To grow an apple she would need
a seed). Though she doesn’t use this in combat as using great stores of her
energy would leave her unable to  use it
for a good period of time. She also needs a special metal known as Haemalite
which amplifies and acts as a conductor, she has rings on her finger and her
only weapon is made of the same metal. Generally she uses it replenish herb
stocks in the infirmary.

## **Biography**

### Birth and childhood

Venus was born shortly after her parents had split, due to this she had no real relationship with her father until later in her life when they were reunited. She also lacks a bond with Demetri due to their separation as children. Her mother was involved with a guard of the palace and so she was dressed up and forced to act as if she were a noble child much to her distaste. She was a child that adored gardens and all things natural, of course her mother did a fine job of keeping her away from the messy grasp of the great outdoors. Venus tolerated a life indoors learning a whole manner of things, doing her best to act like a proper young lady but during her studies she heard of tribes of people who lived as one with the forests and decided to seek them out for herself. Running away one night after her mother tried to force her into an arranged marriage.

### Teenage and young adult years

Once she'd gotten far away from the grasp of her mother, Venus found the group of forest-dwellers and settled in. Here she was taught about herbs found in the wild, though all seemed too good to be true she seemed to turn a blind eye to the sinking feeling in her stomach. Hedonists through and through the young girl found herself doing quite the amount of inappropriate stuff, though it all was good fun at the time she later discovered the root of the feeling in her gut. The group were actually naturist cultists, planning a mass suicide in worship of the nature entity. While Venus did agree with some of their teachings, she definitely had no intentions of dying at 19. She blended in during the ceremony and discarded her drink while the others poisoned themselves. Fleeing to the nearest dock, the only thing she knew she had left was a brother on a whale shaped ship.

### Adulthood (so far)

Failing to find any other method of travel, the herbalist made a raft and headed out. How hard could that sailing stuff be. She soon found herself shipwrecked and left for dead, though as luck would have it she was found by the ship she was looking for. Being brought onboard she was given a temporary position as a medic and has worked her way up the ranks ever since. Creating many friendships though also having a rocky relationship with Ex-crew member Ash. Putting that behind her she now strives to better her medicines and wishes one day to be held on the same level of respect as Hera. She has tried to step herself up to a more professional level due to the change in Captainship however she is still very much a kind and gentle person to all who meet her. After her departure from Septimo Venus briefly lived and trained in Medella under Hera, however she later came to settle in Lyricus where she later had her daughter Juniper. Her intentions of taking to the sea are to aid the new Favilla crew as well as replenishing stocks for her healing business back home, hence why Vaati and Juniper are following the ships route on land.

### **Home Town**

Venus grew up in Valencia, Hiffiam. Though this isn't overly important to her story it is in relation to her parents and older brother. She lived here until the age of 19 when she ran away from home but of course that didn't last too long.

### **Storyline**

Venus found her way onto the ship after stealing a small handmade raft, once brought onboard she told those around her of her search for her brother only to find he was the head medic at the time, Demetri. She quickly put her medical skills to use and was accepted into the infirmary where she worked hard and became fast friends with Diana.

After calling out Demetri on his laziness she began to work harder in an attempt to overtake him and become head medic. Though she didn't really bond with her brother she was still glad to have found her family and began to settle in. She began to form a close friendship with Mika and Diana, she still considers the pair close friends to this day.

After Demetri was called out on being lazy and unprofessional, Venus was promoted to head medic much to her delight. She continued to work hard and quickly became friends with all the infirmary as well as some of the other big figures who frequented the ship, becoming well known for her kind nature and love of herbs and tea.

Venus then became close with an ex-crew member called Ash, the pair developed something of a rocky relationship and she began to argue with Diana frequently. The pair shared a rocky relationship that abruptly ended following Venus cheating on him due to insecurity, though the pair have patched things over they agreed to go their separate ways and Venus returned to working in the infirmary.

Following this she has grown close with Diana again and has taken time away from relationships realising that she perhaps has more important things to focus on. She has also grown close to Vincent however her opinion of him has altered recently though she wishes him well still.

After the change of captainship from Matthew to Jacob, Venus made the decision to leave the ship and train in Medella to further her skills as a healer. She later moved from Medella to Lyricus where she became a camp medic as well as a wife and mother. Upon hearing the news of the fall of Septimo and the birth of Favilla she decided to persue the ocean one last time before settling down.
