Think an OC forum to chat would be beneficial $:
Still working on my character and debating fire or darkness with her element (leaning darkness but so many of them already). If anyone would like to make character connections, that would be great since they are third years and should be acquainted.

[fieldbox= Crystal Wielder Sheet, gray, solid]Name: Euril Gargaux
Age: 25
Appearance:
Like most Obeli, Euril is very tall, has red eyes, silvery hair etc. However, his horns don't accurately indicate his age and it's very likely this is due to his early friendship with a dragon. She has helped shape him in more ways than one. The red marks on his face are the marks of a warrior tribe unrelated to the Obeli and he wears attire in the general style of said tribe due to his Master.

Race: Obeli
Nation: Kalthran
Familiar: Yasa
Weapon: A Longbow, which Yasa named it variations of "The Third Leg of Gargaux" out of jealousy and malice.

Magical Abilities:
Confounding Arrow: Shaped by Yasa's dark magic, this arrow plagues its target with a momentary shuffling of the 5 senses. The severity of this affliction varies from person to person. A very strong individual might feel dizziness that can take the ground form under him/her, where another weaker individual might see blinding sound, feel the sight of the sword or simply confuse their right for their left or up from down.

Hallucination Time: Contact with the longbow causes the target to hallucinate their fears. The more contact is made the stronger the illusion. A light touch might simply be the flicker of that fear, a momentary distraction. In a way, the afflicted fights their fears mentally.

Personality: Growing up with conflicting moralities and varying degrees of common sense, Euril has developed an erratic character. His choices, actions, and words may be sometimes questionable, but Pride and stubbornness keep him from making any corrections or attempting to adjust his way of understanding things the way others do. Yasa's influence only worsens the matter. However, Euril is a good person, generally speaking, and driven to constantly improve himself. Though failings on his part lead him to extreme training as self-punishment and self-improvement, if mentioned by others sends him into a toxic mood.
While his weapon of choice is the longbow, the major part of his training under Master Gargaux was in close combat with the use of a club. He has adjusted his techniques to use the longbow for close combat in cases where an arrow has low chances of success.

Backstory: Somewhere in the nation of Kalthran, a traveling ship found unclaimed cargo in the form of an Obeli boy. Other captains might have sent this unnamed boy down cruel paths of the unfortunate. Instead, the ship captain refused the pocket money he might have exchanged and dropped the kid off at a small island at the edge of the nation where a religious farm took in abandoned children.

Some said the strange child called it to the farm, others rumored that it was attracted by the Obeli blood, but the truth of it is the young dragon was hungry and dropped briefly near the farm because she could see an easy picking of animals from above. In that manner boy and dragon met and disliked each other. However, though both were young, she was older, wiser and cruel enough to linger. With time he saw her as a motherly friend, she in turn thought him an interesting toy. He called her Yasa, she called him Euril though neither were their first given names.

He was twelve when the island caught on to the presence of a dragon since she'd been growing in appetite and the disappearance of animals could no longer be excused by some sickness going around. She had to go, so Euril went with her as far as he could up until she ordered him to join the crew of The Meridian until she came back for him. In it he found a Master, the red marks on his face proof of his education, who took him under his wing and taught him everything from stealing, to brawling, to combat, and most of all to dominate the longbow as both a long-rage and short-range weapon. Master Gargaux, whose name Euril later took as his own, saw in him the talent that might make of him an impressive crystal wielder and planned to send the boy to the most respected academia after binding his first beast.

Unfortunately, Master Gargaux suffered an injury that upon infection marked him for death. He had only time enough to give Euril his dying will and last instructions. Euril, after watching his Master's body drop to the skies below, took Master Gargaux's name and longbow and left The Meridian. The longbow, forged with immortalis crystal, was now void of spirit or beast which suited Euril Gargaux well since he had Yasa in mind.

Fast forward through search and contract, Euril joined the academia on talent alone. Money, he never had, and connections were not something that came naturally to an Obeli. His first year he'd struggled with every aspect of the academia that wasn't actual training and personal growth. There were social rules, silent understandings, cultural traditions, politics, etc. that most of all pulled him down by the collar of his Pride. This lessened during his second year, which allowed him to be more successful. However, Yasa's personality mixed with his own pride has begun to show its effects.

Misc Possession and Information

Familiar char sheet. _______________________________________
5beece571c4e107e3d3a78c4ec2a80ab1edc603d.jpg

Name: Yasa
Element: Darkness
Appearance: She's still a very young dragon so she's only big enough to carry the tall Euril and fly around with him, but not enough for a marathon long trip.

Personality: Yasa is intelligent and can communicate perfectly well though her vocal chords cannot produce a sound as clear and fluid as a human's. As she belongs to the dragon race, she looks down on everyone other than. She cares little for the matters of humans, but has found watching them scramble rather fun. Her favorite toy has always been Euril, and she will never admit that he's anything more than that. Though she is older than him, they grew up together and Yasa holds somewhat of a motherly approach towards Euril. When she fights, she fights to play and her idea of play isn't the nicest. If her connection with Euril hadn't influenced her, she'd be only malice.

Abilities:
Touch of Insanity: Any physical contact with Yasa sends the afflicted into an illogical state of paranoia. The intensity or severity of this state varies with each individual but also depends on Yasa's whim and level of ill intent.

Breath of Illusion: The dark fog-like matter that Yasa breathes out gives life to the fears of those who are engulfed by it. In a way, the afflicted fights their fears physically. [/fieldbox]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Kiza de Oura Fray[/BCOLOR]

Kiza3_zps9natqzvj.jpg

[BCOLOR=transparent]Age: 22 [/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Appearance:[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]On first impression there are probably plenty of people who think Kiza was a girl. He's certainly gotten enough confessions of love by the first years for that to be entirely true. With pale skin and long white hair who would blame them. Except for the second year he had short hair and still got love letters. He's not very tall standing only around 5'5" and weighing about 116 pounds he's probably fairly light. Fairer is his skin, and his eyes are aquamarine in color, sometimes appearing blue purple. He often is trailed by the smell of roses, as he uses a roses scented shampoo for his hair.[/BCOLOR]


[BCOLOR=transparent]

[/BCOLOR]
"I'm sorry this is just a bit awkward"

[BCOLOR=transparent]Race: Varsi [/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Nation: Ispea[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Familiar: [/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]Nimue - described as beautiful water woman, the Nimue are water dryads responsible for the legends and stories of the Lady in the Lake. The Nimue have always been different than their land fairies and pixies cousins. And they were far different from the mermaids of the land. The Nimue did not cause harm in the seas, lakes, and rivers they inhabited. Instead they were good natured beings who pride on taking care of the land that surrounded the banks of their home.[/BCOLOR]


[BCOLOR=transparent]They have always been creatures who represented charity, fortune, beauty, and kindness. The Nimue have been responsible for saving drowning victims from drowning, leading those survivors of capsizing ships to shore, or giving to the much poor discarded treasures who were not loved by their previous owners. [/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]The Nimue themselves are not to keen on being seen by eyes that seek them out. Instead they like to appear to those who do not look for them. While they have been rumored to be seen in Amathea and Balamestra, their true home is in the lost island known only as Avalon.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Many sailors have gone to look for it. To find lost treasures. But none have found it. Some say it doesn't exist. Others say a magic hides the island from anyone seeking its discarded fortunes. [/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]It is rumored the Immortal Queen Alexia was inspired by the treasures of Avalon to forge Immortalis into the weapons of her Honor Guard. It is also rumored that it was from the Nimue that Orwen learned the secret to binding Bahamut.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Nimue hold onto hordes of discarded treasure in hope to find the one who loved the item. Or to give it to someone whom is in need of the item and will love the item much more than the one who discarded it away. It is said the Nimue will weep for the items that have been thrown away and no longered love. [/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]They travel by water. And some Nimue go to great lengths to return an item to its rightful owner or to find one who will own it. Nimue will travel far and wide for souls who have no desire for luxuries, but will accept them nonetheless. [/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Magic: Support [/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Weapon:[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]La Notte - *See his appearance [/BCOLOR]


[BCOLOR=transparent]There has already been too much war and bloodshed. More bloodshed and more violence only breeds more violence and bloodshed. Beyond that it creates broken hearts. There's no point in fashioning more weapons to harm. What we need is a weapon to inspire Hope. A weapon that can bring peace and bring prosperity. It hurts too much to see more people hurt.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]The La Notte plays a song that; Inspires Hope in his allies and those who hear its song. And lowers their susceptibility to fear. [/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]The Song of Hope; basically a show of how his flute sounds, especially around that 5:00 mark[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]
[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Magical Abilities:[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Water- since Kiza was young water was drawn to him. Though not in the sense that he could ever create it. But it reacted to him and his energy. Able to move with his hand motions or draw it from different sources towards him, but he was never good at creating anything as large back then as he could now.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Aqueous Shield- [/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]With the aid of Vivien they can erect a rather well shaped bubble made from water to shield a small area. While the shield surrounds a 15 ft wide circumference, the shield completely capsules around him and whomever is close enough for him to shield. The shield behaves like jelly, allowing it to disperse the energy of blows elsewhere on its body.[/BCOLOR]


[BCOLOR=transparent]Affect; A 15ft wide circumference bubble, towers above 3 or 1 individual at a time. In which the shield disperses energy around its body. However, the bubble is both prone to freezing making it vulnerable to shatter. The bubble also requires its users focus to keep its shape, and is entirely possible to transfer a powerful enough blow that could shake the user from focus. The bubble is susceptible to hot enough flames. And the bubble weakens in the same area it is struck at over time losing its elasticity. While entirely possible to be held onto indefinitely, it is an exhausting magic to use, the user may be prone to collapse if the shield is upheld much longer than the user's own exertion.[/BCOLOR]


[BCOLOR=transparent]Personality Strengths:[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]Kiza is a very warm person, he has a very gentle soul and desires no other than to help those in need. Despite being someone who probably in need himself. He gives love to those he thinks don't get enough and he makes sure everyone he knows around him, know that at least one person beside them loves them. He is very loyal and very honest. While a natural pacifist, he is useful as a tactful thinker. While he detest war and detest violence, he has a unique eye for viewing the field and knows where to place them. Naturally this means he's a good chess player too and any kind of game that requires a piece with a board. He likes to cook, especially to those he owes. Always saying the secret ingredient is the love he puts into it. And he often goes out of his way to help others without being expected to be paid back. While he may be supportive on the battlefield it doesn't make him a coward. If he had to, he would sacrifice himself for someone he loved. [/BCOLOR]


[BCOLOR=transparent]Personality Flaw:[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]While it's good to help others, Kiza can often do it to excess. Pathologically altruistic he has a habit of over helping people. He often helps people to the detriment of himself sometimes. He'd give a homeless man everything, clothes, food, even buy him a hotel room, leaving Kiza with no money to get home. Kiza will often empty himself into other people often forgetting about his own needs. Which makes Kiza come off emotionally naive to his own feelings, while he can greatly understand the feelings of others, Kiza doesn't quite know how to communicate his own emotions. That and he probably clings onto other people because he's afraid to be alone not to downgrade his kind acts, they are often done because he wants to do them with no desire for praise. While he is not afraid of candles, lighters, or small contained fires as long as he reminds himself they are contained. He is afraid of uncontrollable fires, and probably freeze in a situation if he was witness to any kind of wall of fire. Which in theory means he may be slightly afraid of fire users as well. [/BCOLOR]


[BCOLOR=transparent]History:[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]The son of war. It's true that Kiza was not born in Ispea, but it also true that Kiza was a survivor of the war. His own home on the outskirts of Amathea was ravaged by the war. Devoured by flames and blood. Kiza lost his own parents to the war. Young enough to remember the hellfire of war, to young to process it. [/BCOLOR]


[BCOLOR=transparent]Kiza witnessed a lot of death at the hands of the war. He barely remembers how he survived the smoke that filled the town up like an unsettling fog. But he remembers the smells and the sounds. It's a nightmare he rather forget. His trip to Ispea was merely because of a soldier who took him as a refuge and an orphan. [/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Though he was left to an orphanage. Which he was cared for and tended for by the caretakers there. And there in which he learned responsibility and duty. Kiza not known a much better life than maybe the Academy.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]But he is not one to complain either about life. He believes in fate or destiny. That every event happens for some reason. Maybe he tried to justify the reason of his living was to understand people. The true victims of this world. Before the academy he was a servant to a wealthy family. Who merely found him odd or creepy.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Probably because he was one of the few servants not to complain. But was happy to be of service. Not because he was licking anyone's boots. Not because he was kissing ass. But because he generally was happy to help. More than likely had to do with his upbringing in a small, poor, farming city, barely even worth a mention. A piece of land that was merely gum on the shoes of the giant's foot known as war. [/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Truth be told Kiza probably never been to the Academy if not for his affinity of magic, the fact the family found him creepy, that and he had an unusual tag along.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]The family he had been in service to, all too but happy to ship him off to the Academy simply to not be a part of it. [/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Misc:[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]Out of all the students in Academy it is Fridtjof who often helps him when he is in a bind due to his habit. Kiza appreciates Frid's kindness and is often very keen in paying Frid back[/BCOLOR]


[BCOLOR=transparent]Kiza also has a habit of baking a lot of cookies for people he owes. Last time he baked over 60 cookies for Frid for helping him out of a tree [/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Kiza often ends up going over to the extremes whenever he's doing something, people will note his gift giving is often in elaborate, and almost flashy to the point of being unopenable messes of ribbons and sparkly paper[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]And despite Kiza looking like a girl, he actually is not interested in romantic relationships with men. He does like girls [/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]He searches for his parents in the Immortalis Statues [/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Some items he carries is an ornate looking hair brush given to him from the daughter of the family he was serving. [/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]A piece of porcelain from a broken teacup, he always liked the decorations, and it has sentimental value when he broke one of the cups at the Family home[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]And often brings snacks for everyone, he always has snacks for everyone on him[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Theme Song:[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]*Note: The lyrics feel like someone singing about him when he helped them. [/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]
Vivian_zpscgqod8wi.jpg
[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Personality:[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]She is commitment orientated, when she makes oaths, and promises she is bound to keep them. She comes off shy and doesn't really like anyone to see her, will often hide behind her tamer because of it. [/BCOLOR]


[BCOLOR=transparent]Abilities:[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]Water Dowsing - To find individuals the Nimue often use an art of water dowsing that tracks down the spiritual energy of an individual. Though often the Nimue require an item loved deeply by the individual to find them. It is said the item carries a particle of the individual who owned it, which makes it easier to track and locate that individual. [/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Mist - One of the reasons why Avalon may be so hard to find is because the Nimue themselves can cast their own misty fog. While not made out of gaseous clouds, it is often made from little rain droplets that make visibility hard. The mist doesn't last very long, perhaps a good cover for 1 minute up to 2 minutes. [/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]History:[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]Before she was known as Vivien, she lived on Avalon with her sisters. While she ventured far and wide like her sisters did to return lost artifacts to their rightful owners, she always returned to Avalon as her sisters had done.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]She herself would have never been affected by the war, nor the heartache if not for the day she met a soldier. During a time in the Crystal War, she met a man. A soldier in fact. Who was dying, but tried to partake in one last drink. She remembers helping him drink. And him telling her a story about his son before he passed on.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]She wept for the man and vowed to return the sword on the man's side to his son. It took her many more years to find where the son was. His spiritual energy too weak for her to search for him in the regular manner. So she was forced to ask for assistance in other ways. Asking the many creatures of the land to aid her.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]As talking to humans she was still too careful to do. Eventually she did find the son, or his whereabouts. In Ispea, so she traveled. Found herself in one of the cities many channels. Which made her uncomfortable and nervous, as her kind often avoided the human gaze.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]She was witness to someone's kind and pure soul, giving all that they had with them to someone else. Much like her kind. The first human in a long while that gave her some form of hope for their species. Contacting the young man, she asked the one who called himself Kiza to help her return the sword.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]He accepted with a smile, he didn't even seem to mind at all. Vivien at the time didn't understood what drove this human to be so kind, when his heart seemed so dark or had been witness to such dark things in his past. When they finally found the son, it became clear why his spiritual energy was so weak. The son had died long before she could get to him.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]She vowed to return the sword to one it called for. And she asked Kiza to help her. He said he would because he promised to help find the sword's owner to begin with. And that is how they came together.[/BCOLOR]

I've got a question - could I possibly be a halfbreed? I thought that might be an interesting theme to use for my character.

Depends on the halfs I suppose. Varsi, Alari, Norh, Balamestri and Ethian all can mingle genetically so to speak. Obeli are however, only capable of reproducing with other Obeli. Its one of the reasons behind their belief of being dragon descendants.
 
Looking this Sheet over and having given it some time to mull over, I find it a bit hard to digest to be honest. The maid with a "totally not mecha" just feels so shoehorned in. The vast written part is fine, I assure you. Its just that you really really went "I want a maid with a mecha. I did say it was FF inspired. But I do feel this pushes it into "To anime for life" territory. Then there is the powers. Deva of Luminiscent Lightning (Lol that name is A+) Is really two powerful abilities in one. You also made your summon overall to powerful, and even points it out with your language for Iron Sand Emperor. You basically went "All metal is useless". Nooope.


@Clyde

Please do not use characters directly from Animes and Tv-shows. And if you have to, stick to that flute playing picture. (So pretty...)

"To anime for life"? Are you implying that this is supposed to be a realistic RP or something? Personally, I feel like you're just making way too big a deal out of something that's merely an aesthetic. Like, I don't know man, just feels strange to me, that a world of magitech wouldn't allow for something that could be easily found in magitech settings.

That being said, yeah, I milked the description of the abilities for all its worth. No need to really take it at face value (or I'd be hitting people with actual bolts of lightning that actually move at near-light speed), because I enjoy making abilities sound good, as opposed to the reality of them being weak. I'll remove the repulsive/attractive capabilities and just keep it as electric tethers then. The whole intention WAS to make the summon better than the fusion though.

What else is there?
 
If you feel I make to big a deal, then that is you. That is irrelevant however as I am the GM, this is my rp and my word goes. You have the choice to adhear to the criticism, politely explain your path of thought when creating. Or accept that the RP is not for you.

HOWEVER:
To try and attack me over said criticism and try and discredit my own vision of my own setting is not gonna get you anywhere.

Please redirect any further grievences to PM. I will gladly explain my thoughts further there.
 
So sorry about the delay: I've been traveling too much to find enough time to punch a CS out until now. I had a quick question: is it alright to create a character that has magical abilities derived from the same base element as another character? For instance, even though there already is a character with fire-based abilities, would that exclude any other characters from having abilities derived from fire as well despite those abilities being entirely different?

I had a couple character ideas in mind, but so many new sheets have appeared since. If it's the case that every element belongs to one character I'll need to head back to the drawing board.
 
No worries. there is always going to be overlap. we allready got a bunch of "darklings".

Why not? Fair use mate.

And beyond that I'm still going to keep the initial character design just for a body shot
 
I dont care about the fair use aspect. it is a personal preference as GM and player. taking stuff straight of an anime down to the still from the show rubs me the wrong way. As i said. iv your going with a preexisting reference, I much prefer you the picture in the spoiler

The shield behaves like jelly, allowing it to disperse the energy of blows elsewhere on its body.[/BCOLOR]


[BCOLOR=transparent]Affect; A 15ft wide circumference bubble, towers above 3 or 1 individual at a time. In which the shield disperses energy around its body. However, the bubble is both prone to freezing making it vulnerable to shatter. The bubble also requires its users focus to keep its shape, and is entirely possible to transfer a powerful enough blow that could shake the user from focus. The bubble is susceptible to hot enough flames. And the bubble weakens in the same area it is struck at over time losing its elasticity. While entirely possible to be held onto indefinitely, it is an exhausting magic to use, the user may be prone to collapse if the shield is upheld much longer than the user's own exertion.[/BCOLOR]


[BCOLOR=transparent]Personality Strengths:[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]Kiza is a very warm person, he has a very gentle soul and desires no other than to help those in need. Despite being someone who probably in need himself. He gives love to those he thinks don't get enough and he makes sure everyone he knows around him, know that at least one person beside them loves them. He is very loyal and very honest. While a natural pacifist, he is useful as a tactful thinker. While he detest war and detest violence, he has a unique eye for viewing the field and knows where to place them. Naturally this means he's a good chess player too and any kind of game that requires a piece with a board. He likes to cook, especially to those he owes. Always saying the secret ingredient is the love he puts into it. And he often goes out of his way to help others without being expected to be paid back. While he may be supportive on the battlefield it doesn't make him a coward. If he had to, he would sacrifice himself for someone he loved. [/BCOLOR]


[BCOLOR=transparent]Personality Flaw:[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]While it's good to help others, Kiza can often do it to excess. Pathologically altruistic he has a habit of over helping people. He often helps people to the detriment of himself sometimes. He'd give a homeless man everything, clothes, food, even buy him a hotel room, leaving Kiza with no money to get home. Kiza will often empty himself into other people often forgetting about his own needs. Which makes Kiza come off emotionally naive to his own feelings, while he can greatly understand the feelings of others, Kiza doesn't quite know how to communicate his own emotions. That and he probably clings onto other people because he's afraid to be alone not to downgrade his kind acts, they are often done because he wants to do them with no desire for praise. While he is not afraid of candles, lighters, or small contained fires as long as he reminds himself they are contained. He is afraid of uncontrollable fires, and probably freeze in a situation if he was witness to any kind of wall of fire. Which in theory means he may be slightly afraid of fire users as well. [/BCOLOR]


[BCOLOR=transparent]History:[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]The son of war. It's true that Kiza was not born in Ispea, but it also true that Kiza was a survivor of the war. His own home on the outskirts of Amathea was ravaged by the war. Devoured by flames and blood. Kiza lost his own parents to the war. Young enough to remember the hellfire of war, to young to process it. [/BCOLOR]


[BCOLOR=transparent]Kiza witnessed a lot of death at the hands of the war. He barely remembers how he survived the smoke that filled the town up like an unsettling fog. But he remembers the smells and the sounds. It's a nightmare he rather forget. His trip to Ispea was merely because of a soldier who took him as a refuge and an orphan. [/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Though he was left to an orphanage. Which he was cared for and tended for by the caretakers there. And there in which he learned responsibility and duty. Kiza not known a much better life than maybe the Academy.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]But he is not one to complain either about life. He believes in fate or destiny. That every event happens for some reason. Maybe he tried to justify the reason of his living was to understand people. The true victims of this world. Before the academy he was a servant to a wealthy family. Who merely found him odd or creepy.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Probably because he was one of the few servants not to complain. But was happy to be of service. Not because he was licking anyone's boots. Not because he was kissing ass. But because he generally was happy to help. More than likely had to do with his upbringing in a small, poor, farming city, barely even worth a mention. A piece of land that was merely gum on the shoes of the giant's foot known as war. [/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Truth be told Kiza probably never been to the Academy if not for his affinity of magic, the fact the family found him creepy, that and he had an unusual tag along.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]The family he had been in service to, all too but happy to ship him off to the Academy simply to not be a part of it. [/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Misc:[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]Out of all the students in Academy it is Fridtjof who often helps him when he is in a bind due to his habit. Kiza appreciates Frid's kindness and is often very keen in paying Frid back[/BCOLOR]


[BCOLOR=transparent]Kiza also has a habit of baking a lot of cookies for people he owes. Last time he baked over 60 cookies for Frid for helping him out of a tree [/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Kiza often ends up going over to the extremes whenever he's doing something, people will note his gift giving is often in elaborate, and almost flashy to the point of being unopenable messes of ribbons and sparkly paper[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]And despite Kiza looking like a girl, he actually is not interested in romantic relationships with men. He does like girls [/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]He searches for his parents in the Immortalis Statues [/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Some items he carries is an ornate looking hair brush given to him from the daughter of the family he was serving. [/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]A piece of porcelain from a broken teacup, he always liked the decorations, and it has sentimental value when he broke one of the cups at the Family home[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]And often brings snacks for everyone, he always has snacks for everyone on him[/BCOLOR]

[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Personality:[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]She is commitment orientated, when she makes oaths, and promises she is bound to keep them. She comes off shy and doesn't really like anyone to see her, will often hide behind her tamer because of it. [/BCOLOR]


[BCOLOR=transparent]Abilities:[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]Water Dowsing - To find individuals the Nimue often use an art of water dowsing that tracks down the spiritual energy of an individual. Though often the Nimue require an item loved deeply by the individual to find them. It is said the item carries a particle of the individual who owned it, which makes it easier to track and locate that individual. [/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Mist - One of the reasons why Avalon may be so hard to find is because the Nimue themselves can cast their own misty fog. While not made out of gaseous clouds, it is often made from little rain droplets that make visibility hard. The mist doesn't last very long, perhaps a good cover for 1 minute up to 2 minutes. [/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]History:[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]Before she was known as Vivien, she lived on Avalon with her sisters. While she ventured far and wide like her sisters did to return lost artifacts to their rightful owners, she always returned to Avalon as her sisters had done.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]She herself would have never been affected by the war, nor the heartache if not for the day she met a soldier. During a time in the Crystal War, she met a man. A soldier in fact. Who was dying, but tried to partake in one last drink. She remembers helping him drink. And him telling her a story about his son before he passed on.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]She wept for the man and vowed to return the sword on the man's side to his son. It took her many more years to find where the son was. His spiritual energy too weak for her to search for him in the regular manner. So she was forced to ask for assistance in other ways. Asking the many creatures of the land to aid her.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]As talking to humans she was still too careful to do. Eventually she did find the son, or his whereabouts. In Ispea, so she traveled. Found herself in one of the cities many channels. Which made her uncomfortable and nervous, as her kind often avoided the human gaze.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]She was witness to someone's kind and pure soul, giving all that they had with them to someone else. Much like her kind. The first human in a long while that gave her some form of hope for their species. Contacting the young man, she asked the one who called himself Kiza to help her return the sword.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]He accepted with a smile, he didn't even seem to mind at all. Vivien at the time didn't understood what drove this human to be so kind, when his heart seemed so dark or had been witness to such dark things in his past. When they finally found the son, it became clear why his spiritual energy was so weak. The son had died long before she could get to him.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]She vowed to return the sword to one it called for. And she asked Kiza to help her. He said he would because he promised to help find the sword's owner to begin with. And that is how they came together.[/BCOLOR]

NAME: Ruiha of the Nanikeona
AGE: 21
APPEARANCE
While average in height in comparison to most girls her age, Ruiha is considered pretty tall for a female of the Nanikeona tribe, standing at a mere five foot, eight inches. What is more aligned to her relatives is her lean figure, detailed with muscle from a lifetime of living near the jungles of Balamestria and recent training in combat. She might have once been thought of as pretty, but the loss of her left eye and scarring to her face left by Rajaniv's venom marred her looks and the serpent like tattoos that cover her chin, throat, and left shoulder have deemed her unfit for marriage with her tribe as they symbolize her casting off her old life. Despite this, she still bears her old jewelry as mementos of her family and maintains her hair in the traditional braids, although she now prefers the more readily available Bathmeran clothing given to her by her cousins living in the republic.
RACE: Balamestri
NATION: Balamestria
FAMILIAR: Rajaniv the Nahuelaco
WEAPON
aN2Oyn.jpg
Based off an ancient weapon of the Anazari known as the macuahuitl, Kanadimagi is a vicious looking sword comprised of lacquered wood and fitted with jagged, teeth like immortalis. Designed to rip and tear, the macuahuitl was no doubt a gruesome tool of intimidation, yet eye-catching enough for Ruiha's brother, Maleko, to become enamored with it enough to replicate its design.

MAGICAL ABILITIES
  • Adrenaline Rush: Summoning a fraction of Rajaniv's physical attributes, Ruiha briefly enters a state compared to a much more powerful adrenaline rush with an emphasis on speed and agility.
  • Nahuelaco Fang: The teeth-like shards of the Kanadimagi blacken as venom seeps out. Once struck, the afflicted target gradually becomes slower and weaker as time goes on. Although non-fatal and can be cured with even the most basic antivenoms, it can be said this represents the Nahuelaco's cruelty in playing their prey.
PERSONALITY
As the second eldest of seven children with eighteen cousins living in one household, one wouldn't be wrong in noting that she acts and carries herself as an old sister to nearly everyone she meets, albeit, a bit reserved and quiet. Kind, gentle, and willing to help others to the point of doting, it is often a surprise to catch her rare occurrences of strictness. Ruiha was once one who enjoyed the simple life and weren't for her inquisitive nature, one might have accused her of having no ambition at all. Since the incident involving Maleko and Rajaniv, she has grown a bit more withdrawn, focusing on fulfilling her brother's dream and suppressing her familiar's dark nature. Unfortunately, due to her lack of combat experience, she must draw on Rajaniv's power more that she'd like in battle, influencing her as she fights with a cruel viciousness.
BACKSTORY
Near the southern coast of Balamestria, a small tribe known as the Nanikeona had managed to eke out an existence, from which Ruiha was born. Spending her days helping her mother, aunts, and sisters raise her other siblings and cousins, with the only excitement coming from the tales of hunting and exploration from the others and the occasional visits from relatives who had traveled abroad to the Bathmeran Republic. Although hers was a simple life compared to most, she was content with it. Her younger brother, Maleko, on the other hand, was not. Struck by wanderlust after a lifetime of hearing tales of Bathmeran and the lands beyond, he made up his mind to attend the Academia Crystalis, a dream that Ruiha encouraged him to follow.

One day, Maleko never returned from his exploration into the jungles, no doubt to further investigate the Anazari ruin that had been made accessible after the Crystal Wars. He had been there before, having previously discovered the designs for the macuahuitl sword, leading to the others to deem it safe enough for him to return to alone. While the hunters of the tribe gathered in preparations, Ruiha frantically entered the jungles in hopes of finding her brother safe. Unfortunately, she found his body before a heavily wounded creature that hissed and spat a venom at her face. Despite the pain across the left side of her face and the ruination of her eye, she persevered and prepared to deal the killing blow to the nahuelaco. The beast pleaded for his life, claiming that both he and her brother had been attacked by another creature and as a sign of innocence, offered to be bound to her. Knowing the nahuelaco was lying and that he had slain her beloved brother, Ruiha would have been in the right to kill him there, but she couldn't help but feel that she had also contributed to Maleki's death by encouraging him, leading him to make the fatal decision to come here. They would both bear the punishment of being bound together, she chose in the end. The others would arrive shortly after and Ruiha told them the lie that the nahuelaco told her and their agreement to be bound.

In the end, Ruiha chose to live out Maleko's dream in his stead, even if it meant ruining her once simple and content life. Taken in by her relatives in the Bathmeran Republic, she trained and studied in preparation and eventually succeeded with her application to the Academia Crystalis. Her first year was rough, having only a bare minimum when it came to training and was forced to rely on Rajaniv's power, alienating her even further from her peers. The following year brought with it progress and while she still remained distant from others, her old nature had begun showing once more to those few she had interacted with.
MISC POSSESSESIONS AND INFORMATION
  • Ruiha rarely summons Rajaniv, fearful of how their interactions would turn out. She instead relies on her own skill and, reluctantly, his power.


NAME: Rajaniv
ELEMENT: "Poison" (Darkness)

APPEARANCE
Reminiscent of a horned reptilian jaguar, its sleek body topped with a coat of orange and black spots with a pale underbelly, Rajaniv is a beast of the Balamestria jungles known as a nahuelaco. Already considered dangerous for their speed and agility on land and water, facing a nahuelaco is made all the most unfortunate as this species cam produce several kinds of venoms and toxins throughout their bodies.
PERSONALITY
Intelligent enough to rival a human, the nahuelaco are known to be arrogant, cruel, and sadistic, traits in which Rajaniv is no exception to. He revels in reducing a strong enemy into a whimpering mess or just tormenting an already weak prey, yet will quickly flee like a coward when it comes to those who he cannot deal with, directly or underhandedly.
ABILITIES
  • Camouflage: Rajaniv is capable of changing the color of his scales to blend in with his surroundings, even to point of appearing transparent in the water. While this ability does work while in motion, it is most effective when he is completely still.
  • Poisonous Nature: Rajaniv is able to produce several types of venoms and toxins from his body. His fangs and claws can produce a more potent version of the one Ruiha uses, his scales can secrete a toxic mucus that attacks the nervous system, and he can spit a weak acidic toxin that burns and corrodes.
