[hider=Soma] [hider=Appearance] [img]http://i.imgur.com/gJ1CEHA.jpg[/img] [/hider] Name: Soma Ikku Age: 20 Allegiance: Asgard History: Soma and her sister was born and raised within the backwoods area known as Rivenwood, where they were left in the hands of their father to take care of them alone. Soma and her sister Sol weren’t exactly the best behaved children in the town as it seemed like every day they were in some form of trouble with someone. Sol loved to finish someone else’s fight and test just how strong she really was against the other kids while Soma herself would sneak out of the house and explore around even outside the town. Sol would sometimes accompany her sister on her ‘expeditions’ and the dynamic duo would get into all sorts of trouble behind the grownups where they were promptly delivered back to their father. Soma never truly learned her lesson and would do the same thing all over again wanting to just get a glimpse of the ‘bigger picture’ as she put it wanting to know more about the past as well as the future with that big stupid smile painted on her face. As she grew so did her curiosity and it seemed a little bit of that rubbed off on Sol as she was the first to go with nothing but a note telling everyone not to worry. Soma herself prepped up for her own journey taking her father’s blessing and promising to slug her sister if they should ever cross paths. Her first stop was an accidental one, getting lost is never part of the plan, but it happens and teenage Soma found herself in the vast desert of Exilia. The sun beat down on her every day, the blistering winds scorched her skin and the sand made it uncomfortable to walk in, no matter what attempt was made to make it more bearable nevertheless she marched onward looking for an exit. She found an exit of some kind, but nothing she was actually expecting to find when she fell through what she thought was after first a harmless sand dune. Soma plummeted for what seemed like an eternity before landing in a pile of sand, after scrambling herself, she looked around her and immediately recognized it as a crypt. Soma’s natural curiosity took her deeper and deeper into the old ruin, this was the place where she came into contact with the thing that she would be using as a tome. After stealing…. liberating it from the confines, using the excuse that an architectural find such as this should be in a museum, because nothing of the artifact was known about it was written off as a fake and needless to say Soma never actually went back to the crept to return it. Her teen years were reaching their peak when she entered the academy where she discovered her adept abilities at protecting others and herself Personality: Soma is a go with the flow type of person who’s completely satisfied with a lot of things, preferring to strike it out on her own for the most part in an endless quest to sedate her own curiosity. The one troublesome thing she can’t control is her body's involuntary action to protect someone in need, an unfortunate curse of her magic even if she had to use her own body as a shield she just cannot stop herself. As a consequence, Soma will more often that not distance herself from anyone accident prone or too troublesome for concern for her own health. Tome: Taking the form of a flag, the ability to summon, construct and manipulate force fields she can change the size and density of the shield itself to be as hard or soft as need be, she also can change the solidity of the shield itself from solid like stone or gooey and sticky like gum. She can set the shields in any shape she wants as well as place them in any location she can see around her using them as platforms and trampolines to reach higher. The shields are all energy in nature and can be broken, any shield broken shatters and anyone or anything inside the shield will take damage equal to the attack that broke it plus take damage of the shattered shards of the shield itself. Other: On her back are a series of tattoos that read "From deep underground or above clouds we explore" "Vast oceans and uncharted lands await" "Prepared to die lost" [/hider]
