[u][b]Real Name:[/b][/u] Marina Schmidt (changed to Nina Smith when she moved to America) [u][b]Superhero Alias:[/b][/u] Mystic Magus [u][b]Gender:[/b][/u] Female [u][b]Age:[/b][/u] 31 [u][b]Appearance:[/b][/u] [hider=In her Mystic Magus costume][img]http://th09.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2011/289/9/e/random_fantasy__p_by_azakachi_rd_17-d2faskc.jpg[/img] Disclaimer: This image is not mine. I did not draw it.[/hider] [u][b]Power Set:[/b][/u] Nina is a magician who's source of power comes from the magical staff she possesses, which gives her the power to summon creatures called Will-O-Wisps, sometimes simply referred to as Wisps, which are beings made of quintessence and appear as little flying lights, which she summons from the crystal on her wand. There are different types of Wisps, each a different colour: - Yellow wisps, or [i]Sprites[/i], are the basic wisps, easiest to summon and control. They can't harm anyone, but Nina tends to use them to distract her enemies. She can also, if she gathers several Sprites and merges them together, can cause them to explode, creating a powerful flash that can momentarily blind her opponent. - Blue wisps, or [i]Radiants[/i], are cool to the touch, and possess weak healing abilities that can heal minor injuries, and soothe the pain of more major ones. Each Radiant can only be used to heal or soothe a wound once, before fading. Radiants also feed of the natural life energy of those who cast them meaning that using their power too much can seriously weaken Nina. - Green wisps, or [i]Jacklanterns[/i], are created from sunlight and can be used to accelerate the growth of plants and even heal withered ones. Like Radiants, each one can only be used once and feed directly from the caster's life energy. - Red wisps, or [i]Hinkypunks[/i], are fuelled by the caster's rage and passion, and are boiling hot to touch. Because of this, they can used to attack an enemy, but will disintergrate upon touching their target. Afterwards, they dissolve. They feed off the caster's emotions, and using them too much can make Nina feel hollow and emotionally exhausted. - White wisps, or [i]Phantasms[/i], are the most powerful of the wisps, but also the hardest to control. They can transform into any shape Nina desires, as long as she has piece or fragment of the object or person she wants to mimic. Trying to copy living or moving objects or creatures is more difficult than static ones, and they can quickly drain energy from Nina if she tries to hold them for too long. Sometimes, when mimicking a living creature, the Phantasm may gain a mind of its own and will start acting and transforming itself, with Nina unable to reel it in. However, the Phantasm will fade shortly after. While Nina can create multiples of any other types of wisp - though to many can drain her - she can only, at least at the moment, create and control one Phantasm at a time. Anything more is a great strain on her. Plus, she can't use or summon any other kind of wisps when she has a Phantasm active or for a long period of time after she has used a Phantasm. [u][b]Other Skills:[/b][/u] - Has an in-depth knowledge of both mythology and philosophy. - Has a very good memory, able to remember and even specifically quote every book she's ever read. - Incredibly patient, especially with children. - Good at cooking. On special days, she will help prepare the food herself. - Has a basic knowledge of hand-to-hand combat, though she rarely uses, preferring to rely on her magic. - While she mostly uses the magic in her wand, she has also studied many books of magic, or Grimoires, and has a strong knowledge of other rites or magical rituals, though she had yet to practice these. [u][b]Weaknesses:[/b][/u] - As mentioned before, using too many of any other kind of wisp besides Sprites can severely drain Nina's emotions and strength, causing her to become irritable or depressed and sometimes even blackout. Because of this, she has become quite frail and less energetic over time. It is hinted that, because of her using her magic, she may have also shortened her lifespan. - Her powers aren't very good for attacking, so she can only really act a support for other heroes. - If one knocks her out, her wisps are immediately destroyed as she can no longer focus on them. - Her powers come from her wand, which only responds to her. However, if she separated from it or it is destroyed, she'll be powerless. [u][b]Subject:[/b][/u] The Vice Principal, though she also acts as a teacher for Magic Arts and the Basic Occult. [u][b]Personality:[/b][/u] Nina has been described a little bit of an 'ice queen', as any emotion or words she expresses rarely come off as genuine. Her smiles rarely reach her eyes. Her tone, while can sometimes become very expressive when she is being dramatic, tend to fall into a bit of a monotone, and her rage seems cold and icy. She's not uncaring person, quite the contrary, and she feels incredibly love and care for all the students she had been put in charge of, and there are times where her students may even bring out a warm, motherly side to Nina's nature. However, Nina is painfully aware that the students are NOT her children, and she had to keep their relationship as that of a teacher to their students, and not a mother figure, as much as it upsets her to do so. To her staff, she's a little more comfortable, yet also finds it easier to be professional. It's much easier to be so with adults and with children. Teachers are also probably much more used to her cold, angry side than the students are, as Nina displays amazing patience around children, constantly reminding herself that they are 'just children' and will learn and grow up. Adults, though, she can get incredibly frustrated with at times, especially if she ever finds them acting in an unprofessional manner in front of children. As mentioned previously, when saving the day as a hero, introducing herself to new students or giving a lesson, she can occasionally become a little more dramatic, raising her voice, showing off with her Will-O-Wisps, and even being a little playful, trying to play up her persona as this powerful witch. It is unknown whether this is an act of sorts or if this is the real Nina showing her true colours. Either way, she often seems a little happier when she's doing this whole act. You may even get a genuine smile out of her if you play your cards right. [u][b]Backstory:[/b][/u] (To Be Revealed In The Roleplay) [u][b]Other:[/b][/u] N/A
