I used to love watching Fairy Tail like 3 years ago. Good memories. Although I lost interest in the show, I do love the universe it is based in. Such a perfect rp setting imo. Here is my character. Yes it's Eileen from Bloodborn; sue me. I did want to write more in the history, but I've never tried revealing stuff IC before and it sounds interesting! A little bit out of my comfort zone but I'm sure it'll be fun. Nevertheless, I hope you'll have me! [hider=Shalquoir, the Hunter][b]Name[/b]: [i]Shalquoir Gilbert[/i] [b]Age[/b]: [i]34[/i] [b]Gender[/b]: [i]Female[/i] [b]Personality[/b]: [i]Despite her rather imposing demeanor, coupled with an unnerving silence, Shalquoir is not a sinister person. Quite the contrary, actually. If one were to get to know her, they would realise that she is more of a kind, but distant, sentinel to most. She places the well being of others before her own, risking her life time and time again for the sake of strangers. If she does appear distant and cold, it's because she is a realist in the most melancholic sense. She knows that her specific line of work is dangerous, and having experienced much loss and grief at the hands of her prey has lead her to be very reluctant in getting too close with others. Despite having good intentions, she prefers to be as 'efficient' as possible in all of her social interaction. She won't waste time beating around the bush or flattering others for their sake. She is known to be brutally honest, especially when pointing out flaws in another's character or ability. Shalquoir does not tolerate liars, nor does she feel sympathy for those brought down by their own naivety. She was forced to see the world for how brutal it was at a young age and bears no words of compassion for the young, innocent people who are making this realisation themselves. This is not to say she completely lacks empathy; it's just that comforting others is not her strong point.[/i] [center][hider=Appearance][center][img]http://40.media.tumblr.com/0971c39f4930ce490a3ea589378be712/tumblr_noidnvT7sY1r3dvg3o1_500.png[/img] [i]Shalquoir stands at around 5'10" and is about 62kg, making her appear quite slim and lanky. Although not many are fortunate enough to see Shalquoir when not adorned in her hunters garb, there is indeed a lady behind the porcelain mask. Not a blushing beauty by any means, Shalquoir is best described as a very simple looking woman. She wastes no time 'dolling' herself up with makeup or trinkets. Her light brown hair is always tied up into a tight bun, kept firmly out of her face to avoid distraction. Her skin is paler than most, due to always being covered head to toe. Her body is covered with many scars and disfigurements, the most notable of which being her right eye and her missing left arm. Both impairments a result of a run in with a particularly powerful adversary, which she made sure to repay the debt. In place of her right eye is a rather fearsome red wyvern eye. Her left arm is replaced with a metal contraption that now acts as her forearm. On the end is a long, blood stained metal hook.[/i][/center][/hider][/center] [b]Emblem Location[/b]: [i]Branded onto her left shoulder. For convenience, she also has it branded onto her crow mask.[/i] [b]Magic level[/b]: [i]Medium[/i] [b]Type[/b]: [i]Caster[/i] [b]Specialization[/b]: [u][b]Beast Hunter Magic[/b][/u] [b]Style[/b]: [i]Support/Self-augmenting, Melee[/i] [b]Physical mutation[/b]: None [hider=Spells][list] [*] [u]Call of the Hunter[/u] [i]Shalquoir's ability to hunt beasts is granted to her through 'Call of the Hunter', which increases her basic senses to be keen enough to track and detect beasts and other beings. Consumes Magic Power.[/i] [*] [u]Hunter's Agility[/u] [i]Shalquoir empowers her body with Magic, increasing her speed, nimbleness and stamina at the cost of draining magic power over time to keep active. Also makes Shalquoir jump much higher than normally possible, at the cost of extra magic power on top of the consistent drain.[/i] [*] [u]Culling Strike[/u] [i]Shalquoir augments her weapon with a large amount of Magic Power and releases it with her next attack. While her attacks are quite fast, Culling Strike causes her weapon to become much heavier while empowered. Particularly useful to dealing massive damage to large beasts, or even shattering through a strong defense easily.[/i] [*] [u]Blade of Scales[/u] [i]Shalquoir augments her weapon with a large amount of Magic Power, making it heavier yet sturdier. This allows her to use her weapon to block one attack perfectly; even against large weapons or beasts. Only works against physical attacks, not magic.[/i] [*] [u]Thrill of the Hunt[/u] [i]Shalquoir momentarily loses herself to the scent of her own blood, releasing an initial blast of Magic Power around her that pushes away adversaries. Any injuries she currently has flare with sudden pain, debilitating her for a brief moment before she starts to gain high regenerative properties. Additionally, she gains strength based on how injured she was when the spell was cast. All of this uses a tremendous amount of magic power in exchange for granting Shalquoir a small taste of the power held by the beasts she hunts.[/i][/list][/hider] [b]Equipment[/b]:[list] [*] [u]Beast Culling Reiterpallasch[/u] [i]A rapier forged from steel and silver, perfect for hunting. Allows for quick, multiple strikes and very effective for parrying attacks from other weapons; provided they aren't too heavy. A particularly interesting part of this weapon is the guarded hilt, which appears to have had a Magic Pistol forged into it. The trigger lies at the hilt of the blade, allowing Shalquoir to fire magical bullets from the hilt of the rapier between her strikes. The magic pistol is simple in design and can be used by any mage, however the gun shots do not deal any form of physical damage, instead briefly stunning and interrupting opponents to allow for more attacks with the blade.[/i] [*] [u]Stake Driving Hook[/u] [i]Shalquoir lost her left forearm many years ago and had it replaced with a heavy, steel device with a hook on the end of it. There are two switches along the side of the device. One switch will cause the hook to spring out in the direction Shalquoir aims her mechanical arm to act as a grappling hook. Can be then retracted to pull her target towards her, or her towards her target. The second switch, when activated, causes a long, silver stake to instant force itself out from the arm. Can be used to impale victims. The arm is somewhat heavy, but with years of practice and the help of her magic, Shalquoir is able to bear it's burden and still hunt effectively.[/i][/list] [b]Title[/b]: [i]Shalquoir the Crow, The Beast Hunter Shalquoir[/i] [b]History[/b]: While there is much that she does not share about her past with others, what is known about Shalquoir's history is not pleasant. Hailing from a foreign land of magic, Shalquoir belonged to a town that fell victim to a plague of beasts that took the lives of her family and friends. Since then, she has joined a band of hunters known as the Crows. They faced many perilous battles together, and despite their powerful Beast Hunting Magic, they fell victim to the beast one by one. Shalquoir is the last of the Crows. She traveled to Fiore with the intention of ridding the world of beasts and other creatures that would cause harm to innocents.[/hider]
