[@EmzyofNeverland] Here's my CS for the time being. [hider=Nephex] [Color=#FF7216][b]Appearance: [/b][/color] [Color=darkorange](Planning on drawing Nephex and her weapon; will hopefully update with a picture soon) The first thing one would notice about Nephex isn't her face. Many people don't particularly notice much about her appearance when they see the wings affixed to her back. The extra appendages that are courtesy of her Faunus heritage are typically drawn in as much as possible as though trying to appear smaller and escape from the watchful eyes of others. With a wing span equal in width to her arm span, charcoal feathers serve as a stark contrast to pallid skin. Fiery hair curls about her head in a wild and untamed manner with black feathers caught in between spiral strands. Light grey spheres rest on either side of a nose dotted with a myriad of freckles. Nephex's attire consists of a red duster with an emblem on the upper right depicting an orange silhouette of a moth leaving a trail of flame. On the opposite side, a pauldron rests over her left shoulder. The duster is worn over a yellow jumper with an ammo belt slung around her waist like a belt to store small thermally insulated canisters that clip into place via a groove on them. Fingerless gloves and knee high boots complete her ensemble, bearing her signature orange color.[/color] [Color=#FF7216][b]Name:[/b][/color] [Color=darkorange]Nephex; Nephrite Expedita[/color] [Color=#FF7216][b]Gender:[/b][/color] [Color=darkorange]Female[/color] [Color=#FF7216][b]Age:[/b][/color] [Color=darkorange]17[/color] [Color=#FF7216][b]Species:[/b][/color] [Color=darkorange]Faunus (Tanager)[/color] [Color=#FF7216][b]Aura:[/b][/color] [Color=darkorange]Orange[/color] [Color=#FF7216][b]Semblance:[/b][/color] [Color=darkorange]Hypnosis Pinion enables the user to hypnotize opponents through her aura touching them. However she does this by focusing her aura into her the arrows of her crossbow, and daggers/Gladius. Since archery requires more concentration, it is more taxing on her than through use of her more ranged weaponry. The hypnosis makes her targets more impressionable, and may result in changes to their perception of their surroundings. Nephex currently uses this to induce opponents into thinking that they are moving more quickly than they actually are, or may cause them to fixate on her.[/color] [Color=#FF7216][b]Weapon: [/b][/color] [Color=darkorange]Cinnaburn is crossbow with arms that curve to create the shape of a moth. The crossbow is double barreled and the barrels are meant for holding Burn Dust which may be used in conjunction with the bolts fired at her opponents. Blades are attached to the arms when the weapon is in this position. Cinnaburn is able to contract its arms in order to create a Gladius dubbed Sulphure. Her weapon is then able to pull apart to create two daggers, Ignis and Avem.[/color] [Color=#FF7216][b]Sexual Orientation:[/b][/color] [Color=darkorange]Demisexual; Not specifically attracted to a particular gender/sex[/color] [Color=#FF7216][b]Team:[/b][/color] [color=#fff79a]V[u]N[/u]LA[/color] [Color=#FF7216][b]Where Are They From:[/b][/color] [Color=darkorange]Atlas[/color] [Color=#FF7216][b]Personality:[/b][/color] [Color=darkorange]On the surface, Nephex often concerns herself with being a burden to others. She is inclined to refrain from providing any indication that something is bothering her, but it is more so because she puts little trust in others. However, she is likely to say that opening up to others will weigh them down. She is likely to pitch herself as someone that is eager to listen to others in an attempt to lighten their burden. This is reflected by an interest in others which she will insist is indicative of wanting to get to know someone, but her inquisitive nature is usually linked to some ulterior motive. Nephex has a desire for knowledge of all kinds, but that knowledge is something that she may ultimately use to manipulate situations to her benefit. Although she may try to get to know other people, she is very guarded when it comes to information about herself. Nephex is reluctant to talk about herself. Her reasoning might be that others are fascinating while her own life is trivial and boring, but it is more so because there is information which she prefers to keep private while simultaneously becoming dubious of anyone that wants to know more about her. One of Nephex's few redeeming traits would be her obedience and loyalty. In spite of her deceptive nature, she seems to have no difficulty in taking direction from others. However, this only really comes in to play when it comes to fighting and training. Nephex is known to be quite hot tempered, and she can be particularly defensive of her Faunus heritage. She is likely to lash out at anyone that attempts to touch her wings without permission. However, she attempts to adopt a stoic demeanor. Although she is private, she is quite expressive with her emotions and has been told that people know what she is feeling at any given moment. Although her base emotions are quite evident, she is very tight-lipped about the reasons why and has no difficulty lying if she thinks it is warranted.[/color] [Color=#FF7216][b]Bio:[/b][/color] [Color=darkorange]Nephex was raised in Atlas where she was abandoned by her parents. Having never seen a bird Faunus, she's never been able to so much as speculate about who her parents might be. This is likely because she grew up in an area that is fairly absent when it comes to Faunus. Unlike the other orphans that Nephex grew up around, she has never had a desire to track down her family. Regardless of their reasons for abandoning her, she can't fathom understanding them or forgiving them. Due to her abandonment, Nephex puts little trust in others. The Faunus has little experience with interacting with other people in a proper social context. A thirst for knowledge and desire to learn more about the world of Remnant is part of what lead to Nephex attending Atlas Academy, albeit a small part. Dealing with prejudice against Faunus throughout her life has lead to her resenting the military, the government, and everything it stands for. Even though she isn't part of the White Fang, she supports the current movement. When the children of the orphanage were encouraged to join Atlas Academy as part of it's military efforts, she was hesitant because of the way that she viewed it. Her decision to enroll as a student was ultimately reached not by the decision to use her information to lead a rebellion against Atlas. Rather, she intends to climb the military ranks and gain recognition in hopes that it will alter the way people think about Faunus.[/color] [Color=#FF7216][b]Likes:[/b][/color] [Color=darkorange][List][*]Fussing over her feathers [*]Acquisition of knowledge [*]Science [*]Animals[/List][/color] [Color=#FF7216][b]Dislikes:[/b][/color] [Color=darkorange][List][*]Losing feathers or having them ruffled [*]Being touched without permission [*]Placing trust in other people [*]Talking about her own personal matters[/List][/color] [Color=#FF7216][b]Strengths:[/b][/color] [Color=darkorange][List][*]Agility - If it wasn't for her agility, Nephex wouldn't have as much value during combat. Her speed is what makes her capable of standing a chance against her stronger opponents. [*]Obedient - Although she doesn't trust others; she doesn't hesitate to follow direction from others and places her team above her self interests on the battle field. [*]Receptive - Takes constructive criticism well, but only when it pertains to tips on her fighting style and the ways in which she uses her weapon and semblance. [*]Inquisitive - Eager to learn. This goes hand in hand with her ability to take constructive criticism to some extent. If not for her desire to learn, she would probably be less interested in taking advice from others. [*]Ambitious – Determined to emerge as victorious despite whatever difficulties she might face.[/List][/color] [Color=#FF7216][b]Weaknesses:[/b][/color] [Color=darkorange][List][*]Frail – Having more of an average body build is equated with a lack of muscle that would allow her to be more capable in close ranged combat. [*]Vulnerable – Wears little more than a pauldron on her shoulder in terms of armor, and doesn't wield a shield which makes her an open target. [*]Distrustful – A lack of placing trust in others makes it difficult to form meaningful bonds with others. [*]Reckless – Unless given direction in a fight, she's inclined to fight without a strategy in mind. [*]Trackable - Cautious of her feathers during a battle, but refrains from tending to them in situations where it is unwarranted. This makes her easier to track because she may leave a trail of feathers in her wake.[/List][/color] [Color=#FF7216][b]Theme Song:[/b][/color] [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QXNtLaOnSE[/youtube] [/hider]
