[sub]	A P P E A R A N C E[/sub][hr][color=8C7D98]Physical health has always been a priority for Olivia to the point of indulgence. She is an avid gym-goer at the academy and encourages her friends to follow a path of fitness as well. The vigorous exercises have given Olivia a toned frame with lean muscle, which has made her posture steady and elastic, and visage prominent. Her face has rather smooth skin with few traces of teenage years, eyes of cerulean blue, and trenchant eyebrows. Her hair carries a peculiar glow and thickness of dark coloration and highlights of golden walnut. Olivia typically wears tightly fitted jeans of marine blue, blindingly white sneakers, and a black leather jacket.[/color]

[sub]	I D E O L O G Y[/sub][hr][color=8C7D98]All matters can be resolved with benevolence and compassion. There may be moments that require furious action, but such should be executed with humility. Olivia is a true altruist. She engages people and the world around her with enthusiasm and generosity. The boundaries between the spiritual and physical are far along blurred within her perception. Olivia relishes in sharing her knowledge, experience, time and energy with those whom she holds dear.

Her charisma and affection is known to be infectious. In that endeavor she is also reliable, supportive, and imaginative. Olivia will go to great lengths to ensure the wellbeing of her friends and family, even if some of them do not agree with her ways. Her philosophy in life is a serene transparency and understanding of the human condition. Humans are emotional beings who thrive in the presence of peace and love. In the darkness of the world, Olivia would gladly pay the price of torment if it would create a beacon of light for others.

However, Olivia is not immune to strife. There are days when her unconditional love is tested in the most gruesome of ways. It can sometimes be difficult for her to separate the personal from the impersonal, constructive criticism from spite. She has also developed a number of unhealthy obsessions through her fervent quest to appeal to everyone. Olivia represses and internalizes negative feelings much in the same way that she exudes positivity. Spending so much time to care for others, Olivia’s own problems often grow unattended.[/color]

[sub]	B A C K G R O U N D[/sub][hr][color=8C7D98]Olivia was born in Cetra. She was raised by her father and aunt, as Olivia’s mother died giving birth to her. This is why Olivia’s second name is Andrea, after her mother. Her aunt, Janice Celestine, which is the sister of her father, George Celestine, devoted herself entirely to Olivia’s wellbeing and life. She was the first who noticed Olivia’s affiliation to spirits and the ability to absorb them. Olivia was subsequently admitted and sent to Oakridge Academy shortly after her eighth birthday.

George Celestine was a swordsman during the breakout war with the Mordrem, twenty years ago. He was among the soldiers who started to use melee weapons against the aliens, and thereafter became a master in gunblade fighting. A gunblade is a sword with a revolver or pump action built into the hilt, the barrel running inside the length of the blade. The idea is to offer a capable melee weapon with acceptable ranged features. George taught his daughter everything he knew about gunblade fighting, and even if Olivia was not as talented as him, he did not give up on her. He persuaded Olivia to keep practicing her skills at Oakridge. The modern day gunblades, however, are trick weapons that switch between blade and gun mode.

Olivia adjusted well to the student life of Oakridge Academy. She ran for and was elected student body president twice, took an active interest in anti-bullying efforts, and provided a strong emotional bridge between different social circles. Olivia also spent a considerable amount of time with childhood friend and the love of her life, Samuel Valentine. He was an extremely talented Guardian and diligent student. Unfortunately, during a field mission in the Dark Zone, Samuel and his squad went missing. Olivia was nineteen at the time. Samuel has been assumed dead ever since. The incident left a void in Olivia’s heart that she has been trying to fill over the years, though unsuccessfully.[/color]

[sub]	W A R F A R E[/sub][hr][color=8C7D98]Olivia’s is a traditional Gunblade that follows the designs of her father, thereby not a trick weapon as other modern variations. Unlike her father’s, however, Olivia’s gunblade has a shotgun mechanic built into it rather than a revolver. She never was particularly accurate with firearms, as close quarter combat always was the favorite range. Therefore, Olivia primarily uses the gun part of the weapon as a means to stun her opponent or secure a safe retreat [[url=http://i.imgur.com/xzVV5m3.jpg]◇[/url]].[/color]

[indent][sub][color=8C7D98]◇ Balance[/color] [ [color=#B9BABC]Holy[/color] ] [ [color=18669A]+Dispel[/color] ] This spirit manifests as a bright light in the shape of a spear that is hurled at the enemy. Upon impact, it illuminates the area and restores balance among those affected. This spirit values composure, equality, identity. It may sometimes emerge from Olivia's body in the shape of a dove-like creature, radiating light.[/sub]

[sub][color=8C7D98]◇ Shell[/color] [ [color=#B9BABC]Holy[/color] ] [ [color=18669A]+Reflect[/color] ] This spirit detonates in radiating light around Olivia herself. Enemies within her vicinity are knocked back. This spirit values justice, integrity, and vigor. It may sometimes emerge from Olivia’s body in the shape of a turtle-like creature.[/sub]

[sub][color=8C7D98]◇ Ultima[/color] [ [color=#B9BABC]Holy[/color] ] [ [color=#B9BABC]Fire[/color] ] [ [color=18669A]+EnHoly[/color] ] [ [color=18669A]+Empower Ravager[/color] ] [ [color=C54E4E]-Blind[/color] ] A peculiar congregaition of spirits that endow the qualities of Etro itself. It detonates with intense fury in an expansive area, drowing it in light of the stars, burning its victims with pious intent. The favor rests within sanctity, devotion, and inquisition. Ultima may at times emerge from Olivia’s body in the form of a creature of feathered and draconic features.[/sub]

Selene's typical attire consists of various tops, oversized sweaters, tightly fitted pants, and leather boots [url=http://i.imgur.com/Bl0fNYB.jpg]◇[/url]. Her wardrobe has absolutely no other color than void black.[/indent]

Reality is cruel and unfair. The disparity in everyday life is enough to drive lesser men to madness. Selene herself has fallen to that depth on numerous occasions, yet she remains solid in her stubborn passions. Her beliefs defy and contradict the established norms of society. While the men consumed by madness rip each other apart, Selene will stand faceless as death comes smiling. Alas, all one can do is to smile right back.

There is no censor within her domain. Selene will speak her mind even if it would end her life. She is by no means malevolent or wicked akin to the reality she so detests. Her deeply rooted philosophies about her own existence and the existence of others simply will not budge for anything or anyone. Thereby, Selene has grown to become a chiefly cerebral individual, whom radiates sublime perception, aptitude, cunning, and sophistication. Alas, it is not without fault. She can struggle with introspection and brooding, self-criticism and perceived injustices to the point of indulgence.

All of this leads to extensive philosophical musings concerning the circumstances that brought her to a specific point in time, accompanied by a cynical, world-weary, and jaded view on the faults of mankind and beyond. Therefore, Selene values her own passions as above those of others, which can manifest as arrogance and a martyr-like attitude. She longs for death unlike no other, yet cannot impose it upon herself due to her contradictory nature.[/indent]

Selene was born in Tyria. Her father was the leader of a cult that forcefully impregnated women to bear children for sacrifice. It was prophesized that Selene’s father would have a child worthy of being offered to Palamecia, an Eidolon of darkness. However, nothing happened when that unfortunate day finally arrived. The deranged cult members began to kill each other, but Selene and her mother escaped the onslaught. Whatever became of Selene’s father remains unknown.

Cetra became the new home for the two refugees. It was around this time that Selene began to exhibit sings of being a Guardian. In fear of being discovered by whatever remnants of the cult there may have been, Selene’s mother changed their surnames to Palamecia. They settled down in a city named Doral. Being a place for deserters and other criminals, they figured that little attention would be drawn to them. Selene was shortly thereafter admitted to Oakridge Academy, which became a far safer home away from home.

Selene did not adjust well to the social life of the school. It was not that she was an outcast of any kind; her mind was simply in a different place. However, another girl at the school, Olivia Celestine, was able to get through Selene’s barriers and make friends with her. They have ever since been a bit of a duo on and off the battlefield. Selene was among the few who could see past Olivia’s faked smiles after Samuel Valentine went missing in the Dark Zone. But, Selene has always refused to go look for him whenever Olivia has suggested they do. Selene is utmost unsympathetic to the foolishness of dead boyfriends and mad men.[/indent]

Selene uses a trick weapon that she calls [color=7C585A]Fleshreaver[/color], which is a sythe-like weapon of some vile proportions. Both ends of the handle are clad with serrated blades, made of steel and bone. The trick mode folds the weapon into a single-handed sword with the serrated sides of the blades facing outwards. This mode can also separate the blades akin to scissors, which makes it easy to decapitate things [[url=http://i.imgur.com/9fF9NqY.jpg]◇[/url]].

[indent][sub][color=7C585A]◇ Orb of Darkness[/color] [ [color=#B9BABC]Dark[/color] ] [ [color=ed1c24]-Curse[/color] ] This spirit manifests as a black, smokey orb projectile. It detonates upon impact and affects everyone in the immediate area. This spirit values impatience, insolence, and intrusiveness. It may sometimes emerge from Selene’s body in the shape of a ghost-like figure with giant, hollowed eyes and myriads of slender arms.[/sub]

[sub][color=7C585A]◇ Bloodlust[/color] [ [color=0072bc]+Leech[/color] ] This spirit values isolation, brooding, and jealousy. It may sometimes emerge from Selene’s body in the shape of a bat-like creature of smokey shadows. It also manifests by slightly extending Selene's canine teeth.[/sub]

[sub][color=7C585A]◇ Shadowstep[/color] [ [color=0072bc]+Gloom[/color] ] This spirit envelops Selene in smokey shadows and allows her to quickly dash from foe to foe and strike them once. This spirit values detest, enmity, and secrecy. It may sometimes cause Selene’s clothing to flow in the air akin to garment under water.[/sub]
