Name:Madeleine Fracturas Race/Class/Type:Curio Collector/Sentiment Alchemist Based Upon: Unknown(Maybe its her motivation?[/hint, hint]) Appearance: scavenging to survive with a fondness for wearing odd trinkets she finds as makeshift jewelry or accessories. Her most consistent item is a small rosary holding symbols for each of Iwaku's Archetypes in its beads. Normal Equipment: Bric-a-bracs Carpentry and Chemistry Equipment Lighter Coats lined with ampoules, vials, and beakers Pen and Parchment Paper Archetype Rosary Special Equipment: Psychic Distillery- Various tools, seemingly mundane and otherwise, used to siphon off and alter copies of memories.[Centering] Magic Carpet- Flying transportation. Not very big.[Channeling] Carpet Bag Ateliers- Twin carpet bags that hold her Shop and her alchemy lab respectively while traveling about. They are populated by sassy, mischeivious but ultimately benign homunculi who are actually more like tame benevolent poltergeists or ethereal shinentai created from specially-treated mixtures of memories. They act as staff and assistants to her shop but can move no further than fifty feet beyond the walls of the shops. [Channeling/Shattering] Music Memory Box-A bi-product of secret collaborative experiments with other, more traditional magic users to create a tool that could reliably target specific memory types and make Madeline's work easier. It resembles a crystal ball(as such "technology" was its basis) and responds to musical thoughts only, allowing the user to share low-fi reproductions of auditory memories and store them for revisiting.[Centering/Channeling] Memory Solvent aka "Brain Bleach"-Memory erasure substance. Dangerous stuff. Usually only for cleaning. Plot Coupon/Chekov's Gun. General Abilities: Reasonably fit(Managing, cleaning, and repairing the shop all with little help requires it). Keen Intellect(during moments of clarity) Incomplete Chemical and Alchemical Knowledge Intuitive leaps and phenomenal cold reading(When she actually has the right combination of presence of mind and focus) Special Abilities: Sentiment Alchemist- Limited ability to interact with memories and emotions as though they were tangible objects.[Centering/Channeling] Psychic Sommelier- Empathy, limited mindreading and psychiometry. Certain thoughts and emotions have a recurring "feel" to them. Madeleine can sometimes pick up on these, thus gaining a vague or crude impression of what someone is feeling or thinking.[Centering] Sentiment Brewer and Memory Moonshine- Liney's passion and more carefully-guarded business is the creation of "Mnemonics"--elixirs, incenses, and victuals all imprinted with potent memories and emotions. The most common are pure and common experiences. The priciest are fabrications--new experiences created from careful remixing of old memories into something undeniably "real" that never actually occurred. Her Mnemonics are a bit controversial(among those who even know about them) in that some--such as Maddie herself--believe they can cause old real memories to resurface. Others believe this is just the mind losing its grasp of an already tenuous reality. She's started work on an Ultimate Mnemonic that she suspects can genuinely restore complete memories. She has two principle "formulas" but hopes to narrow it down to one.[Soul Arts/Dreamweaving] Weaknesses: Sniffing around the minds of others is dangerous, especially when one's been hitting Mnemonic brews a little too often, which for Madeleine, is usually the case. And so it shouldn't be surprising how much Maddie struggles to remember just what she, herself, is thinking, feeling herself drown among outside inner voices. That's she's arguably addicted to her own product doesn't help. Neither should it be assumed she's always better sober. She's just as prone to overcompensation, sometimes shutting out everything and everyone unrelated to her goals, becoming more driven and focused, but also callous, recklessly arrogant, and self-absorbed. Also Madeleine's mind-skimming abilities vary with effort, the clarity of her own mind, and how recognizable her target's thought patterns are. And most fun of all, the science of sentiment alchemy is a rough one. And although Madeleine works hard to remove certain details and stimuli from her mixtures, she isn't always completely successful. Side-effects ensue--sometimes horrifically so. She's also a wanted woman in certain parts of Iwaku due to complications arising from her Mnemonic potions. Not much of a physical fighter. Even if she manages to siphon off effective combat-related memories (as opposed to the pain and fear invovled), there's still that whole lack of physical conditioning thing to worry about. Personality:Eccentric, whimsical, curious, and confident in her abilities to the point of recklessness. But beneath the surface is a contemplative sort capable of great feats of intelligence and cunning when she isn't being an irresponsible memory-lush. She likes to sing imperfectly-remembered songs. But due to the nature of memories in this setting, especially her own, just about anything she sings devolves into a bizarre mashup of some kind. Her signature tune is the whistling intro from Goldfrapp's "Lovely Head" though she can't remember where she heard it. Notable Inspiration: EXCISED for now. History: There are things I'd like to put here, but they depend on degrees of trust and collaboration I'll probably need to earn first. I'm going to assume she's been living a nomad's lifestyle for some time before she finally managed to luck out and find a nice spot on the upper tier of Fragment Town. Though she officially lives on the upper tier, she makes multiple, semi-secret trips to the lower tier to play her Mnemoic trade. Beyond that? Get back to you?[/QUOTE][/FONT] |

Madeleine is experienced enough to realize this, but curiosity still often trumps security, and much like a natural sense of smell, she can involuntarily picks up unintended stimuli. Madeleine's mental powers can also leave her struggling to remember just what she herself is thinking, suffering from a diminished sense of self and inability to act decisively. The power to bottle and store pleasant feelings and memories makes retreating from reality and living in the past a very tempting prospect. The science of sentiment alchemy is a rough one.

Not much of a physical fighter. Even if she manages to siphon off effective combat-related memories (as opposed to the pain and fear involved), there's still that whole lack of physical conditioning thing to worry about. Personality:Enthusiastic. Mildly eccentric, whimsical, curious to the point of invasiveness, but considerate by her own definition. :P A bit of a friendly loner with gung ho moments. She's confident in her abilities but still in the process of figuring out their limitations and how best to use them without harming herself or others unintentionally. She's generally nice, but the prospect of uncovering the past can bring out a more ambitious, ruthless, and pragmatic side. She likes to sing imperfectly-remembered songs.

You know it bothers me when my character sheet reservations get deleted, especially after Tegan posts, given the similarities in the types of character concepts and details we tend to come up with. It makes me look like a copycat.
BTW, you being the senior member here, I think I am the one who appears to copies cats.
I posted the sheet but it started glitching up the same way Roberta's char sheet did so Reverted until I could make a non glitchy version.
Next time, at least warn me. Please?
EDIT at Tegan: Great Minds, indeed. Madeleine was inspired partly by listening to "Rag and Bone" while reading the original OOC thread at work. :P
