the basic rundown as drafted by my bestie who happens to be into raver culture <3
(edited for things that don't fit with my character world)
Background: Comes from money, "well bred" so to speak prim and proper, with distant parents, raised by "the help". Bi-Polar and in therapy, though dancing seems to be the best way she gets out of her head and really into her body. Has always been a dancer, so came to the scene naturally. When she dances to the electronic music that surrounds her, the bodies around her, the beats fill her heart and soul leaving nothing left to worry about, nothing to left to think about, it's all about just being in the here and now. She's read about the sufi dancers who spin for hours in a type of ecstatic prayer. She likes to think that's what she's doing in the dingy basements of underground rave scene.
Personality: Very friendly, bubbly persona! She keeps the bi polar hidden in the candy-sweet mask she wears in front of everyone else. She's a giver and very matronly, wanting always to help her friends.
Favorite things: RAVES! Molly and most other drugs that come her way, friends, lolly pops and all things sweet, menthol cigarettes (though only when rolling), anything brightly colored or nicely textured, stuffed animals (a purple platypus has been with her since she was a child and runs the roost sorta speak, though she doesn't play favorites). Happy hardcore is definitely one of her favorite styles, though she can dance to anything with a good beat. Kandi!
Favorite activities: DANCING! DANCING! DANCING! Making and trading kandi, video games (animal crossing), sewing, glow-stick poi, hola hooping, cuddle puddles, making her friends feel better, art class (even though she sucks at it), watching cartoons and eating cereal (power puff girls & lucky charms is the best Sunday Morning combination to help stave off the impending weekday come down)

Vega's original concept happened when I was first beginning to make conbadges, I didn't have a lot of my own characters at the time so I was just making up characters to make badge examples for, just to have something to show. I didn't really need a raver character, but she was perfect and I just really really liked the design so I drew her a couple more times. She needs a bit more development still, but she's got a bit of personality now, and I need to get her more art. I still don't have much use for a raver, but she's just so pretty I can't bring myself to part with her.
<<< this is the conbadge I made. And the colors and pattern was just too pretty to throw away. |
