Post subject:  Enderion: Essence of Numaryá

Thanks, Lady Shanai-Irisis, I patterned a lot of my first essence after her first essence (Anissa's Essence).

NUMARYÁ
#Numaryá is one of the four main characters in my book, but not the most main...I wasn't brave enough to try this out on my main character yet!#
BODY {
#Apparently 'body', 'mind', 'spirit', and 'soul' are the four common parts of an essence map or is that just what someone happened to use?#
 Eyes [
  Color (
   <pools of amber>
   <untouched precious gems>
   <hard as stone>
  )

  Hurt (
   ,<mistrust and pain>
   betrayed and quiet>
   <hiding behind themselves>
  )

  Trusting (
   <hard prize to win>
   <rare beauty>
  )
 ]

 Face [
  Shape (
   <round and youthful>
  )

  Smile (
   <uncommon, but beautiful>
   <the mother love of a Doe>
   <a Prize bestowed on a knight>
   <a fluttering butterfly>
  )
 ]

 Hair [
 #Well, she's a girl...got to include her hair! :D #
  Color (
   <golden like rays of sun>
   <a rippling waterfall of light>
  )

  Texture (
   <silky smooth and long>
   <thick grass on a prairie>
   <like the mane of a lion>
  )
 ]

 Beauty [
   <an unknown sea>
   <pride and joy of mother>

  Quality (
   <shown most in hard times>
   <shines forth like a lighthouse in a stormy sea>
   <calms those around it>
  )
 ]
}

SPIRIT {
 Fear [
   <untrusting>
   <fluttering, like a butterfly>
   <running away, like a scared horse>
   <continuous, like a tornado>
 ]

 Trusting [
   <elusive>
   <an honor bestowed upon few>
   <cautious, not wanting to repeat mistakes>
 ]

 Loyalty [
   <hard to win, as a princess' hand>
   <make up for her past>
   <straight and true, like a super highway>
 ]
}

MIND {
 Knowledge [
   <mother elephant>
   <sharp as a tack>
   <quick>
 ]

 Past [
   <ashamed of what has happened>
   <hiding like an ostrich in the sand>
   <footsteps in the sand with the incoming tide>
   <stubborn, like a donkey>
 ]
}

SOUL {
  Pure (
   <a mother-of-pearl necklace>
   <smooth like the inside of a seashell>
  )

  Restless (
   <a trotting horse>
  )
 ]
}

Enjoy!

Looking good!

There is a thread in the announcements that shows you how to indent.

As for syntax, you are doing well, except that, like in CSS, you name your block before you open it. Like:

body { color: #000; }

not

{body color: #000; }

See?

Thanks!

Actually, I did have it indented on my word document, but it seems to have taken it out. Weird. I'll drop by that thread anyways.

Oh, it's like CSS. I thought it was more like HTML. Got it now.

What about the comments? Are they all right or are they supposed to be different?

Yes, you have to do an indent like this:
Code:
[entity]emsp[/entity]


The official ECSS++ comment syntax is to surround your comment with pounds.

#multiple
line
comment#
#single line comments have them at both ends too#

Like a mix between perl and css. :)

OK, I'll go with the official thing from now on, even if I don't know what the rest of ECSS++ is...

Great job Eruheran! I get a nice visual image of your character now! :D

Thanks, Lady Terra! I had fun figuring out essence while I did it. (I'm working on Zaciré, my main character, now)

Jay, I updated my post to include the correct syntax and stuff. Let me know if I made any mistakes. :D

Looks great Eruheran. I like how the XBeginner advocate jumped right into XBasic. Congrats!
One thing though...there is no rule on what your Aspects have to be, but lots of people find it easier to stick to Body, Mind, Spirit, and Soul when mapping the Essence of a character. Take a look at White Raven's map of Machu Pichu, or my map of Evening L. Aspen, they use different Aspects according to their needs.
I'll say it again, good job!
In Christ,

Thanks Seer. (Remind me again the difference between XBeginner and XBasic?) I'll check out those other essence maps for different aspects...I guess it's totally up to the creator... :) I really need to buckle down and do some more essence-mapping, hopefully by this weekend I'll have my MC's fractal done and some essence maps for him. :) Again, thanks! :D
