Board 8 > [B8BOC] Board 8's Best Original Character Contest: WC 2 - Talirah vs. Rayleigh

(+) Yeah! (+)

Don't forget to vote in yesterday's match within the next 2 hours or so, if you haven't already!

RULES:
1. Vote for the character you like more. That's it.
2. Each user gets one vote per match (no alts). These are one-on-ones, after all.
3. Rounds last exactly 24 hours from the opening post and any votes thereafter will be disregarded.
4. I (Metalmind) will post a new match daily at about 6 PM PT, excepting brief scheduled breaks for Thanksgiving and one day where I have a prior commitment.
5. The users who nominated each character will be kept hidden, as votes are for characters, not users. Users are forbidden from rallying, including posting additional propaganda that is not already in this opening post, as this can give their character an unfair advantage.
6. You are allowed, and in fact encouraged, to vote for the character you nominated. Or don't if you truly prefer their opponent, I'm not your boss!
7. Bumping support to keep this topic on the front page is appreciated, especially when I'm not available (typically from about 4 AM to 3 PM PT).

Now for today's entrants...

Talirah

Oh hello! My name is Talirah Isiset. PRINCESS Talirah- err...perhaps QUEEN Talirah Isiset? That is silly. You may call me Tali, because we are friends now and my friends call me Tali. Or Sekhmet. But that one is a secret. My secret identity. But again, very big secret. You are not supposed to tell people who you are if you have a secret identity. But yes, my life is hard to explain, but what I have pieced together is that I lived thousands of years ago, and then one day I awoke in this city with no memory of myself. And now that memory has returned, and I am so grateful to this place; I will FIGHT to protect it.

Name: Talirah Isiset (aka Sekhmet)
Profession: Former Part-Time Library Assistant, Current Superheroine-in-Training (Ancient Egyptian Princess)
Age: 19 (3794 as of October 3rd, 1998)
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 134 lbs.
Setting: Tali is a character from an offshoot universe of the No Man's Land plotline of DC Comics.
Abilities: Tali is pyrokinetic, and in addition to creating and manipulating fire, she can also summon fire serpents.
Character Flaw: Tali is extremely naive and overly trusting, to the point of thinking up plans and making decisions without considering potential consequences, often to her detriment.

Thats me. Gosh I dont know what to say. Um. Im a Physicians Assistant. I wanted to be a doctor, but couldnt afford medical school. I never had many friends in school because I couldnt stand how nobody wanted to get to know me as anything more than the hot girl on the chess team. Im glad thats changing, but Im too used to a small circle of friends. Relationships are more meaningful that way. All that notwithstanding, its my blood to help people. People tell me I overwork myself as if its a problem. All I need time for is video games with my foster brother, chess, yoga, and making people smile. And Im good.
