[i]Decision of posting CaughtInTheRiddle's characters has morphed into affirmative[/i] [HIDER=Arina Lécuyer] [center][b][i]Arina Lécuyer[/b][/i] [b]Appearance:[/b] [URL=http://s1292.photobucket.com/user/SweetPrincessCinderella/media/mel_zps686b95e1.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1292.photobucket.com/albums/b563/SweetPrincessCinderella/mel_zps686b95e1.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [b]Demonic Appearance:[/b] [URL=http://s1292.photobucket.com/user/SweetPrincessCinderella/media/mel2_zpsc5c1faf2.png.html][IMG]http://i1292.photobucket.com/albums/b563/SweetPrincessCinderella/mel2_zpsc5c1faf2.png[/IMG][/URL] [b]Age:[/b] As far as anyone knows, she’s twenty one, but then again, she’s been with the Carnival for centuries, and she’s a well-known liar. [b]Gender: [/b] Female [b]Species: [/b] Demon [b]Fallen Angel[/b] [b]Most Used Power: [/b] As an Angel, Arina’s physical abilities are exceptional; she was speedy and stealthy which was a great help in stealth operations and hand to hand combat. She came close to mastering the elements of air and earth, embracing the light which followed. She was able to attain the power to permanently copy the powers of another. However, this didn’t come as easy as one would expect - it is not as easy as touching the person. A long and painful process in involved with taking another’s power, as it copies, instead of absorbing – depending on the level of power, Arina could be incapacitated for up to three days after taking a power. However; when she was possessed and fell, her powers were twisted, and she forgot the element of air; concentrating on the element of fire. Through this she was thrown into the Darkness, however, out of that came the power to create, manipulate and destroy matter. This power, however, can take quite the toll on her if used too much. Sometimes it would be easier to run from the battle than to stand there and waste the time and energy on deconstructing the matter of her opponent, other times, it can lead to immense pain and very rarely cause her to start breaking the matter of her own body down. Now she finds it even harder to copy a power, if not impossible. When she can however, physical powers are her forte – she doesn’t work at all powers such as telekinesis, telepathy or anything else along those lines; so she tends not to develop those powers. Arina’s power is more of a problem than anything else. Some powers she has copied are impossible for her to develop, they have the tendency to put her in immense pain, and if she is not careful, she could be killed by one of her powers. She uses the power once, as a trial, and if she has a negative experience using it, she never uses it again. [b]Significant/Special Belongings: [/b] Her Cart [b]Fighting Skills/Techniques: [/b] Arina isn’t much of a fighter, it’s not like she doesn’t enjoy the exhilarating magical feeling of violence and war, she’s simply too lazy. Trickery is her game; she’ll talk her way out of a fight before she draws a sword. However; when she’s forced into a fight, she uses her small frame to be quick, stealthy and agile on her feet; using a carefully crafted samurai sword, she silently moves to slice her opponent. Despite her agility, however, her small frame lacks strength, when caught, she is easily overpowered and will generally give in if it means saving her own skin. Although she’ll occasionally use one, guns aren’t her style; she deems them as impersonal and rude weapons. [b]Weapon of Choice: [/b] Samurai Sword [b]Job Title & Description: [/b] Technically, Arina run’s a kissing booth, but nine times out of ten, she’ll decide what she feels like doing on the day – it can range from helping Pachid on his dunking stall, to juggling while telling other’s fortunes. [b]Number of Souls You Have to Collect: [/b] 9 000 000 [b]Number of Years You Have to Collect Souls: [/b] 500 [b]What Was Your Wish? [/b] Arina’s original wish was for the ability to heal from any wound or state and always stay preserved in the young body she has… since then she’s made about ten or more deals with Mr Seil; she can’t name them all off the top of her head. [b]How Many Souls Have You Collected? [/b] 2 586 816 [b]How Long Have You Been at the Carnival? [/b] [i]“Don’t ask, because I don’t want to know…”[/i] [b]How the Collection of Souls has Affected Your Character? [/b] Well if anything, it’s made her value how fast time can fly. [b]Personality: [/b] Arina is a playful type to say the least; modest is not in her vocabulary which makes her unfavourable towards many other females. Manipulative, cunning and very tramp like, Arina would stop at nothing to get what she wants; however, despite her rather amazing yet completely unnecessary gift to make everything she wears look, well, immodest, and her touchy and flirtatious nature, she will fight to the death before she lets an undesired male touch her. Shallow and sharp-tongued, she’s quick to attack someone’s emotional weakness for her own enjoyment. She’s selfish and will do anything to save herself before she saves another life. However, despite her unlikable nature, if she deems one worthy of her loyalty, she will follow them to the ends of the earth without question. Nevertheless, she will show that trait to anyone and then lead them astray, she’s a hard book to read and is a hellion to have as an enemy; but, if her trust is gained, she’s a good ally. It’s hard to pick which side Arina is on; she doesn’t tend to side with anyone. One day she’ll help someone and the next, she’s working only for herself. It’s not often she’ll act her age, childish and immature are her normal attributes. She’s incredibly lazy and will bribe others to get what she wants. She doesn’t take much seriously which can often help in serious and life-threatening situations. Calm, cool and collected is her game as it takes a lot for her rage to break. [b]Biography: [/b] Arina was born into a fairly noble family of Angels. She was the sweetest and most promising out of all her siblings – that was, until she was possessed. First she fell ill, and nobody thought anything of it, then she started seeing things, hearing whispers in the night; and by the time anyone realised what was happening, her body had been taken from her. However, her father, in one last desperate act to save his little girl, preformed a spell – in attempt to rid the demon of her body once and for all. The spell went terribly wrong and somehow, the two souls merged, forming what she is today. She fell instantly, and from then on, she was on her own. Disowned by her family and her race, she turned to the darkness for comfort – but she found little there. Through the years she became more self-reliant, fighting for survival, and nine times out of ten, she lost. It was her body; for although she was now a demon, her original form was still that of an Angel, therefore making it weak and prone to injury. It was Mr Seil who offered her the deal – he was a stranger in a bar and they got talking; he offered her a body that recovered from any sickness or injury, a body that never aged; an immortal body. Without hesitation, she accepted, not even worrying about the freedom she was about to sign away. Over the years, she wasn’t as successful as she would have liked to be, branding souls, and three times in a row, the day before the end of her contract, she’d make another deal with him – throwing her further into debt, but saving her from becoming a freak. She’s on her third deal now, and Mr Seil has made note to catch her out if she tries it again.

He can only turn certain parts of his body to stone at a time; making the rest of his body venerable to attack. He used his stone limbs for offence more often than not, packing quite the powerful punch, should he make contact. [b]Significant/Special Belongings: [/b] Everything in his Possession [b]Fighting Skills/Techniques: [/b] He moves quickly, making sure to dodge or counteract attacks; he talks to his prey, trying to hit a venerability within their emotions. He’s a tough opponent, but it’s not impossible to defeat him. [b]Weapon of Choice: [/b] His stone limbs [b]Job Title & Description: [/b] Soren runs a rigged shooting ring, when one shoots the ducks, the ducks don’t go down – as their anger boils over, he brands them. [b]Number of Souls You Have to Collect: [/b] 8 000 000 [b]Number of Years You Have to Collect Souls: [/b] 500 [b]What Was Your Wish? [/b] I. Immortality II. Money III. Luxury [b]How Many Souls Have You Collected? [/b] Lost count. [b]How Long Have You Been at the Carnival? [/b] He's actually forgotten. [b]How the Collection of Souls has Affected Your Character? [/b] Soren loves it, he lives for the collection of souls – the more souls he holds, the more power. Currently he splits his earnings 40/60 with Mr. Seil [b]Personality: [/b] Soren is an avaricious and arrogant being; he wants everything the realms have to offer and he won’t stop until he gets it. Cocky, charming and exceedingly charismatic, it’s hard not to fall for Soren’s alluring smile. He’ll sweet talk his way into a woman as fast as he can flash his infamous grin. He has no shame in his actions and tends to flaunt them to other members of the Carnival – making him unfavourable towards others. Quick witted and rather intelligent; Soren knows how to go in roundabout ways to claim what he desires – be it money, sex, power, fame and so on… he wants it all; and as far as he’s concerned, he’ll take it all. Soren would make a Goblin look modest in his wants. However, despite his ridiculous level of greed, he’ll lend a hand to those who so loyally follow him – he sees his followers as his property and nobody has the right to take them away from him. Greed isn’t always such a terrible thing. His relationship with Mr Seil is one of friendship – considering Soren paid off his debt just over a thousand years ago and is still traveling with the carnival. Hell, why wouldn’t you leave if you had a steady amount of souls flowing in, for your pure profit; despite the fact 60% of them go to Seil, he’s happy living the life of luxury. Soren is hardly ever seen as cruel, angry or short-tempered; he’s always calm cool and collected, his arrogant and cocky words normally setting those around him off (especially the trolls he’s befriended). He’s friendly to those who have something to offer – and those who don’t, well he simply ignores their existence. [b]Biography: [/b] Soren’s life was rather uninteresting and uneventful; born into the slums, he grew up on the gloomy streets of Elmis. From a child, he never desired anything more than the world – than all the riches and fame he could possibly possess; he always wanted more, and he always took more. Through the stages of his life, found a certain satisfaction in giving into one of the deadly sins; greed ruled his life, and over time, as he gained a fairly large following, it ruled the lives of everyone in his little gang. Getting what he wanted was satisfying, yet he never stopped at one thing – he killed, he stole, he raided, he raped; there was nothing that could stop him … well except of course, for his mortality. It was a cold winter’s night, when he was informed about the Wish Maker; rumours had spread around the town like wildfire and Soren was intrigued. If this man was what they said he was; he had the potential to rid Soren of his mortality and give him something he so avariciously desired; immortality. Upon his epiphany, he set out to find this mysterious Mr Seil; and found him he did… not that it was that hard, the man was running a rather sizable carnival. There and then he signed his freedom away for immortality and for two hundred years, he worked to set himself free. On the day before his date of release, he once again signed his freedom away – this time for money, so for another hundred years, he worked; then finally when it came time for his release, he signed himself away once more, this time for a life of luxury. There wasn’t really a price to pay for that, so he decided he’d just continue to travel with the Carnival – selling his freedom for whatever else came to mind.

[b]Weapon of Choice: [/b] A spatula or a frying pan? [b]Job Title & Description: [/b] Not sure yet, she doesn’t really have any true talents. [b]Number of Souls You Have to Collect: [/b] 10 000 000 [b]Number of Years You Have to Collect Souls: [/b] Unlimited [b]What Was Your Wish? [/b] To bring her brother back from the dead. [b]How Many Souls Have You Collected? [/b] 0 [b]How Long Have You Been at the Carnival? [/b] Less than a week [b]How the Collection of Souls has Affected Your Character? [/b] Reira refuses to collect souls from children under the age of twenty – she sees it as cruel and inhuman. [b]Personality: [/b] Reira is a gentle soul – carefree, kind and generous. She’ll help anyone in need, even if she believes they are evil and ill-natured. She sticks by her beliefs and she’d even throw her life away if it meant saving a life. She’s weak hearted and refuses to brand the souls of children – she believes it to be cruel and inhuman; she looks down upon those who freely brand whomever they please, thinking them to be sick and sadistic. Naive and easily deceived, Reira will try to see the best in people and bring it out, no matter how hard the task. She can be ditsy and airheaded, but she still holds her values dear and that’s all she cares about. She doesn’t like the idea of branding souls; however, she’d do anything to see her little brother smiling at her again, so she’ll put up with it. [b]Biography:[/b] Reira was raised in the typical white picket fence neighbourhood – her, her younger brother, her mother and her father. Her Father was a doctor and her mother was a stay at home mother; both of them loved their children very much. She was an average student in High School, with average grades and still managed to get into a rather good University. When she went away to study on campus, everything changed. She was a med-student, like her Father, and she was doing well – however, one day, she received news that her father had been killed in the war. She went home for the funeral decided to stay for a month to look after her mother and her brother. Six weeks later, her mother committed suicide, unable to stand a world without her husband. This forced Reira to move back home and look after her younger brother. He suffered from Leukaemia, and he was not well. Three years later, he passed away, sending her life into turmoil. Depression took over and all she wanted to do was see her little brother’s smiling face once more – she was a wreck, until she went to a particular Carnival. Mr Seil came to her, offering her the chance to receive anything she wanted, and from there, she signed her freedom away – now determined to retrieve the soul of her little brother.
