@KatyaElefant, what time period is your character from, what was their social standing, and what was their occupation, etc.
I am kind of a fount on general knowledge (sometimes utterly useless in real life), and I am also a non-self-proclaimed boffin when it comes to history, historical cultures and lifestyles (it's what I want to go study and do for the rest of my life, so of course I'm a genius of it)

My character is from some point in the Middle Ages, she is a nun and probably richer(as far as I can tell from history). She is probably from England but since the Middle Ages is such a large topic, I will have to find a more specific time period(maybe looking at the time of the Magna Carta)
Whale. Whale. Whale. What do we have here? Some scurvy dog looking at my post, eh?
The Magna Carta is the perfect time period, @KatyaElefant!! I would love to see a character from that time period. A nun? She must have done some pretty bad stuff to secure herself a spot in Hell. Well, seeing as you want to have her be a nun, you can always make that she was deflowered while betrothed to someone else (another rich noble perhaps?). Then, when her father found out, she had to " get rid of" him and her betrothed, and then fled to a cloister where she sought safety by becoming a nun. Note, this is just my mind working overtime, so please excuse me.
Oh, and if you do make a medieval female, Gus will finally have someone he can relate to.
@AndrewRayne, you need not fret,it is a good profile. I look forward to working with you, and giving all of the SB wisdom we all have to you.

I was thinking more of the lines of how she had never wanted to be a nun because as a child, she had a lover and then when she grows up, she finds her childhood love with someone else(maybe some circumstances). Then, she gets so angry that she takes her anger on someone else(after murdering her old childhood love). Like she could work at an orphanage and she could beat the children there and murder them or something. >,< Again, I'm working on it so that it's historically accurate. She's like a rebel nun though.

@TheWanderingWizard Dude, my actual name was formed on the words "Hell's Door", what did you expect? (True story.) But in all seriousness, don't worry I'm not a demonologist, I simply enjoy learning about demons because I have a deep fondness for villainous characters since I was a child. By I also find a great interest in the Kabbale, the angelic orders, and especially the seraphins. I just like fantastic things in general, but in a way, I'm already a demon
@KatyaElefant well there was an argument about Hell and its representation in this SB, but that's resolved, since our marvellous Queen will provide us with her own version of it.
"Is there a limit to how much living I can live with my life? How will I know if I've gone too far? And why did I spend my life savings on sunglasses for a whale? I shall find the answers... to these questions."
Madame @KatyaElefant, even though I like your idea very much, there is one tiny snag. Orphanages did exist in Britain during the medieval times (aka Middle Ages), yet they were run by Bishops or monks, not nuns, and the children were usually sent away as servants or apprentices when they were old enough to obey strict orders and schedules. Thus, brilliant concept, not so accurate occupation.

For the love of all that's good and kind! You people gave me more notifications than even PMD, and that's saying something.
@TheWanderingWizard, you need to finish up with that book so I can start learning French too. I'm going to have to start conversing with you in our home language if this continues, just so I don't feel awkward anymore.
(Oh, @Tortwag, the quote he meant rings, "Demonology teaches about demons, is taught by demons, and leads to demons." I can't remember who said it, but that's how it goes.)
@KatyaElefant, the passive-aggressive arguing is over, so there's no need to worry.
I find your idea for your character very intriguing, though.

Winter is inevitable. Spring will return eventually, and AstralHunter with it.
OH MY GOD, I'm having more Notifications than PMD as well. About 15 in a 2 or so hours, that's a record :O
...So I'mma read Kat's profile, but mine's ready. ...I think I should re-read mine, just to be sure, too. EDIT @AstralHunter I did not know this quote. Well, I'm kind of a demon, so it fits! But again, I get fixated with those.
