[quote=Driving Park] You know how when Rose posted Isolde I immediately fangirled over Richard Wagner's Tristan & Isolde and posted it as a theme and that?Well, TODAY IS NO DIFFERENT!Siegfried is the third out of four operas in Wagner's epic .So uhhh...yeah.Siegfried's Rhine JourneySiegfried's Funeral March(happens to be my favorite part of the whole Ring)Siegfried's Horn Call:D [/quote] I'm gonna make the academy play Siegfried's Funeral March if Sieg ever dies lol --- Here's the second CS! I kinda updated Athena with new abilities, but she's still the same "Michael Bay"-centric, explosive woman. I gave her a more fitting theme song as well! --- [hider=Athena Appearance][img=http://safebooru.org//images/1108/e5b05f06357544de1907bf8dc53e6dc59a2a63e0.jpg?1151630] [img=http://safebooru.org//images/1111/0fb09f39af35fced6490aab7d949116ace2b07c2.jpg] (Credits to the unknown artist!) [/hider] [hider=Athena Theme][youtube]C7cDjfpKlAY[/youtube][/hider] [quote=Athena Knight][i]"W' all just fighting some [b]supernatural [u]pussies[/u][/b], aren't we?!"[/i][/quote] [center][b][u][i]Name[/i][/u][/b] Athena Knight [b][u][i]Age[/i][/u][/b] 20 [b][u][i]Species[/i][/u][/b] Human [b][u][i]Gender[/i][/u][/b] [s]Manly[/s] Female [b][u][i]Powers[/i][/u][/b][/center] [*][i]Explosion Manipulation[/i][/*] - Athena can partially expand or decrease the effectiveness of explosions caused by her. While she does have control over this particular power, emotions can randomly spark random spikes of power and other immutable effects. [*][i]Explosion and Fire Resistance[/i][/*] - Due to her body being accustomed to utilizing Explosion Manipulation, Athena is moderately resistant against explosions and fire in general, though she does have a clear limit as to what she can handle. Defensive items can improve her effectiveness. [*][i]Combat Personnel[/i][/*] - Athena is a natural fighter, and shows her abilities through her handling on firearms, raw strength, and straightforward attacks. Her fair balance in weaponry and combat is what makes her formidable in general, though she is especially dangerous when using certain firearms. [*][i]Weapon Adaption[/i][/*] - Athena can use... many things for weapons. She tends to start throwing manholes at people if she needs to, and even goes as far as to using food to strangle people, though her food nearly always fails to survive from her admittedly explosive appetite. [*][i]Boxing[/i][/*] - Unlike most boxers, Athena uses abilities that are genuinely dangerous to use against others. She uses this particular fighting style while sparring or when she is preserving ammunition. Athena does not use any protection for her hands unless she is otherwise ordered to do so. [center][b][u][i]Abilities[/i][/u][/b][/center] [*][i]Pistol Shootout[/i][/*] - Athena sends out a barrage of body shots with her fists, intentionally hitting a target's body instead of their head. This particular move can be used frequently, and is moderated by her own stamina. Her stamina is considerably high, but Athena prefers to drag out battles before going in for a fitting finisher. This ability is one of such finishers, as well as a basic ability used to test her opponent's defensive capabilities. [*][i]Distance Control[/i][/*] - Athena focuses on making her movement extremely slick, allowing her to perform deceptive tricks to fool her opponent's eyes and find an opening for an attack. She tends to use this ability for faking an approach towards her enemy while remaining in a single position. This ability cannot be used when she is airborne. [*][i]Explosive Shell[/i][/*] - Athena Knight's favorite ability. Athena points her firearm at her target(s), charging her weapon for up to ten seconds. She then fires an empowered bullet shell. This shell will cause a small explosion upon physical contact. The explosion's power and size increases the longer she charges the firearm, and the maximum charge can cause a moderate-sized explosion capable of caving through weakly-reinforced walls. If Athena is interrupted as she charges her weapon, her current bullet will fire a regular shell. Athena is limited with her ammunition for this particular ability. The strange part of this ability is that it works on nearly all kinds of firearms, including rocket launchers... [*][i]Rocket Jump[/i][/*] - Athena takes out a grenade before leaping, smashing the item on the ground. She is propelled toward the skies, allowing her to reach higher grounds. If she has time to do so, she may be able to fire an Explosive Shell in mid-air before falling. Athena has five grenades. Athena may also use a rocket launcher instead of a grenade to perform this move. [*][i]Corkscrew Kiss[/i][/*] - Athena takes out a grenade before performing a corkscrew punch on a target. If the punch connects, Athena's target will be pushed back by the force of the grenade's explosion, and Athena herself will lose one of these grenades. The power of this ability is heavily reliant on whether the target would actually get hit by the attack, and what they collide against if they do get hit. Athena has five grenades, and missing while utilizing this particular attack may injure herself. She is equipped with "air bombs" within school grounds. [*][i]Shoeshine Combination[/i][/*] - Athena sticks her feet to the ground, bouncing around with a fast rhythm. Keeping her hips low, Athena launches an extremely quick flurry of ten punches at a target after positioning herself. While the move itself has a predictable pattern, the punches can make targets unintentionally lower their guard. [*][i]Shotgun Repulse[/i][/*] - Athena must require a shotgun for this particular ability. Athena aims her shotgun without any bullets loaded in her firearm, charging her weapon for one second. She then lets out a close-ranged explosion out of the shotgun, blowing away nearby targets. While this does take a toll on her energy quickly when used in rapid succession, the force of the explosion is quite powerful, being able to blow through fairly-reinforced walls. Athena can only use this ability when her shotgun does not have any ammunition in it. [center][b][u][i]Overdrives[/i][/u][/b][/center] [*][i]"London Shoeshine Destruction" Combination[/i][/*] - Athena throws or lunges with a flash grenade toward a target's eyes. If they are caught by the flash, they will be stunned for a brief second. Athena then proceeds to launch thirty punches in rapid succession before firing a quick Explosive Shell on the ground between her and her target, sending the two of them flying away from each other. If Athena does not have an flash grenade with her, or she needs to preserve the grenades for something else, she may end up doing a mighty headbutt instead to begin the attack. This particular ability will deal some damage to herself. [*][i]Wounded Bullet[/i][/*] - Athena either throws a grenade behind her or fires an Explosive Shell nearby herself. Utilizing an extreme force to propel herself diagonally or horizontally, Athena sends herself flying toward a target before using her knee to strike them. This ability leaves Athena open to attacks, but allows her to potentially break apart her opponent's power. [*][i]Shotgun Wedding[/i][/*] - Athena must require a large firearm for this ability (ie. shotgun, rocket launcher, etc.). Athena charges an empowered Explosive Shell, using much of her energy to charge the next shot for ten whole seconds. She then fires the projectile toward the skies, letting it fly up shortly before falling down at a fast speed. If a shotgun is used, all of the bullets will be compressed into a single bullet covered with a fragile coat of fire. Athena then kicks the explosive projectile toward her target(s), letting it activate as an explosive bomb. The attack's explosion radius will be large (ie. the size of a slightly big house), and moderately high damage will be dealt. This ability takes a large toll on Athena's energy, and may render herself tired for ten whole minutes if she had been fighting for a decent amount of time. [center][b][u][i]Weaknesses[/i][/u][/b][/center] [*][i]Ammunition[/i][/*] - Athena's firearm-based abilities usually require ammunition. Without ammo, her power would be severely decreased. Athena tends to randomly scavenge metal and gunpowder from wherever the heck she finds them. [*][i]Cold[/i][/*] - Athena's explosive, arrogant personality is less prominent under cold weather. She exhibits a noticeably weaker will to fight in the cold, along with a surprisingly quieter attitude. [*][i]Self-Damage[/i][/*] Most of Athena's attacks and abilities tend to damage Athena herself in some way. This often leads to unsuspected injuries surfacing at the wrong times. [*][i]Explosive[/i][/*] - Like her overall fighting style, Athena has a particularly explosive attitude. She tends to get annoyed easily at simply remarks and enjoys performing inappropriate taunts that should definitely not be used in her age. [s];_;[/s] [center][b][u][i]Personality[/i][/u][/b][/center] Athena Knight is the "Full Metal Alchemist" without the [i]Alchemist[/i]. Being a destruction-loving fan, Athena enjoys causing other people to explode, either literally or emotionally. She is fond of using other people's money to get some cheap food, nearly always forgetting to pay cash back. The girl also enjoys taking things and tends to absent-mindedly shred things apart. As dumb and brutish as she sounds, she does have a slightly calmer attitude when she feels cold. She also has some things she fears, one of them being the idea of "cosplay." Athena is mostly fond of dogs and cats, while she specifically dislikes Bengal monitor lizards. [center][b][u][i]Backstory[/i][/u][/b] N/A[/center]
