Okie doki, so... Full disclosure: I have no idea if this wish will be accepted considering... well, you'll see. I tried to make it as balanced as possible given its nature. I'm also fully aware of how "totally creative" her name is, and I am not proud of the description of her appearance. I had it slightly better written before, forgot to save the edits, turned out this. (Which is basically a description of the character her image is taken from with her Magica form added on) I'm totally okay with redoing any portion of her, so much so that I have backup rough drafts in case of any problems. Please point any issues out that are there or that you have with anything. However I'd like to ask if it's possible to give her a higher starting despair and/or minor preexisting afflictions. (Due to her history) [hider=Violet] Name: Violet Black Age: 16 Appearance: [hider=Images.] http://orig14.deviantart.net/8557/f/2011/261/2/c/misaka_mikoto_by_roberto_miak-d4a8fqv.jpg (Too large an image to fit) [img]https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/hphotos-xap1/t51.2885-15/s320x320/e15/11024295_1612984042270384_1940564674_n.jpg[/img] [/hider] With light brown hair and eyes of a slightly darker shade, Violet stands at 5 foot 4. (1.6 meters) Despite her slightly visible musculature from her above-average fitness, she is somewhat underweight at 105 pounds. (47.6 Kilograms) Typically seen in a skirt and a simple white button-up shirt under a woolen vest, she always wears some kind of shorts under her lower garments in case of exposure or damage. Her Magical Girl attire is in itself not unusual, having a full length shirt and a skirt halfway to her knees in shades of indigo and grey. Matched by long gloves that end at her elbows and stockings that raise to just above the cut of her skirt, her outfit is completed by a teardrop shaped Soul Gem resting upside down, right above the center of her rib-cage. Like her outfit, the gem is indigo in color. Despite this, she has added of her own conscious decision both a simple grey "hoodie" and a pair of shorts under her skirt, just like with her normal clothes. Nationality: 3/4 Caucasian and 1/4 Japanese. (While not noticeable by her appearance she nonetheless makes it a point to tell this fact.) Born and lived in the U.S. Personality: Cynical, self-deprecating. A misanthrope who distrusts her peers, hates her elders, and is protective of her youngers. Hates liars but is not above lying. [hider=Past quotes] Before moving: "Weakness is underrated." (To the incubator) [See below] "Don't let your sins end in tears. Where them proudly on your sleeve." (To the magical girl who was soon to become the first witch she killed) "You do good work, furball. I should probably call you something nicer, huh?" (First seeing the incubator after killing her second witch) "Pineapples are the apex fruit. They are the potatoes of the trees." (When asked why her lunch contained a full pineapple) "I don't believe in alarm clocks. Or alarms at all for that matter." (When late to school one day) "I like to think that the animals are watching us, thinking 'we'll kill them all someday.' It makes it easier to love them." (To the incubator during the weeks she was thinking over her wish) "Maybe murderers aren't so bad." (Upon killing her first witch.) "Humans are so weak. We get so comfortable in our seats that we forget there are other things trying to coexist. Now we see that we aren't the absolute predators anymore. We're prey to what we create, with a little help from you furballs, that is. And then you give us the tools to become the apex again, just so we can become what we hunt. You make us strong. But you know..." (To the incubator) [/hider] Afflictions: [ (If possible) Depression, autism spectrum, (Asperger's (lack of social ability)) minor Schizophrenia. (Emotional flatness, apathy. Delusions, hallucinations.) ] Wish: 'Would you like to become a magical girl? I can tell you've grown tired of your everyday life. Simply make a contract with me, and you'll be able to change it forever.' "Tell me more. I won't accept any contract I don't know the fine print of." "I wish magical girls, after becoming witches, returned to normal humans and didn't die when they were killed as witches." 'That wish is impossible.' "Then could I make that wish for myself only?" 'That wish is also impossible.' "I wish that witches came about separate from the magical girl they used to be. That the girl's soul returned to them and the witch became a separate entity." 'I cannot grant that wish, either. Please think of something that's possible if you wish to make a contract.' "Fine then. I wish that I could be a magical girl who could use their soul gem as a purifier for others'. That I could absorb their soul gem's corruption for myself, and hold it until I could use a 'grief seed,' you called it? That is my wish." Biography: A precocious girl who spent her late childhood developing and discarding countless philosophies and interests of the world, she had settled on one of irrelevance to the universe and personal worthlessness until she met the incubator. Taking many weeks to think on what she wished for, and asking many questions about what being a magical girl means, she came to the conclusion that she could overcome not entropy, but rather her lack of worth or value to the universe or even simply other people by making a wish. Her early attempts at wishes were deemed impossible, and she eventually settled on one that the incubator was capable of granting. Despite living with an indifferent mother and doting step father, her views of adults are almost always negative. Combined with a distrust of her peers fostered by a lifetime of abuse both verbal and physical for her personality and flightiness, she is a misanthrope through and through, giving exception only to those younger than their teens. Her younger brother held a special place in her heart, and added to the development of her opinion of herself when she was unable to save his life, taken by an infant playing with open electricity who he was helping watch in place of it's parents. This event, the image of her brother's corpse and the sound of his pained scream haunt her to this day. She is now in Danzig with her stepfather for his job, choosing to travel with him rather than stay with her mother. Skills: A "jack of all trades, master of none" due to her inconsistent interests and pursuits, she is most proud of her cooking skill, her talent of singing, and her uncanny ability to judge the world around her mathematically. (Such as distance, the passage of time, vague speed, etc.) Threads of Fate: 5 Magical Weapon: [i]Knives[/i]. Experience: 3 (+1 Age modifier) (Two witches killed) Magical Ability: Sharing the Burden. (Name she gave to her ability.) Core ability: Her wish granted her the ability to use her Soul Gem as a Grief Seed for others, and in the process a small bit of their magical ability is absorbed as well, giving her a small burst of temporary energy or a time-limited boost in her magical output. This also grants her a grace period if she reaches her corruption limit from another Soul Gem, as the small amount of pure magic absorbed prevents her from complete corruption until it dissipates. (60 seconds and upwards, depending on the strength of the Magical Girl she absorbed the corruption of.) Sub abilities: Her wish being focused on magic itself has granted her heightened control of and dexterity with raw magic. (See examples: Homura fixing her eyes, Homura controlling the truck, etc.) As she gains experience and power, she can eventually use her magical weapons to absorb corruption and at even higher levels, magical power from those she attacks with them. Absorbing corruption from a Witch would affect their Labyrinth, and absorbing magical power would weaken a Witch while strengthening her, at the cost of more corruption than usual when it dissipates or is used up. Signature and Finisher: Signature: Using tough threads enhanced by magic, she turns her knives into whips of sorts, increasing her fighting dexterity. Her signature involves using these to place knives in strategic positions and trigger an attack with all of them at once, striking a target with all of them at once from many directions. Hard to dodge without skill and speed, especially for larger targets, this is an effective use of her spatial and temporal awareness. (Mathematical grasp of her surroundings, listed under "Skills.") Finisher: A very large knife, closer to a sword in size, which she uses to drain large amounts of either corruption or magical power from her target, weakening it and strengthening the blade until the difference in power between her and her target is large enough to secure her victory. Usually requires a Grief Seed immediately after due to the large increase in corruption within her Soul Gem from this technique. ██████: 21% [ 31-41% (Due to her apathy from past trauma and avoidance of connections with other people slowing her growth of despair, higher is better for balance, and past trauma that caused the apathy would likely result in at least 30%) ] [/hider] Edited: Added the afflictions desired to have so I won't have to add them later on. Also added my suggestion for higher despair level. Both within brackets. Added a sub ability I forgot to re-include after the loss of edits made. Added quotes to Personality to give a snapshot of her thinking. Within hider. Added kill count to Experience.
