You're suppose to laugh! … Crybaby...[/h3][/color] [/center] ⛑ [color=Tomato]Short Description:[/color] Aer Pacifica was a young street rat that was plucked off a street in the country of Gillia. Rather than imprison her, the government saw fit to use her talents in Gillia's most elite fighting force: The Battle Mages. ⛑ [color=Tomato]Personality:[/color] Aer is the pinnacle of obedience, tempered by a militaristic training regimen. She is stern and serious, and speaks few words. Pacifica is the ideal soldier... but only when her superior's eyes are upon her. Aer loves to talk, make crude jokes, and let her wit fly even with complete strangers. She's almost always in high spirits, even in the face of danger. Such is the life of an adventurer, to face each challenge with the broad smile of determination. While Aer is a social creature, she does hold the belief that everyone more or less looks out for themselves. And she knows that she is no different. Pacifica will not go out of her way to harm perfectly innocent people, nor will she stand by idly if there's something that can be done. But her own survival is paramount. ⛑ [color=Tomato]History:[/color] Aer was born into a poor family in the slums. She was an amber child, which is a condition brought on by having a parent exposed to certain magical machines. Her parents were both employed, but couldn't provide for their clutch of eight children. Most of them were orphans that they welcomed into their home. With no jobs available to her, and unable to sustain herself on what others threw away, Aer became a thief to provide for her ever growing family. She learned how to steal, fight, and play dirty in her unforgiving environment. But cunning and careful as she may have been, the authorities only have to catch you once... For most, Gillia's jails would have been a death sentence. But the government was more interested in her magical powers. Rather than make an example of the thief, they offered her a spot among their elite: the battle mages. Aer had no reasonable alternate options, so she took their offer. Surely being a legal slave was a better fate than rotting away in a jail cell. Aer has completed her training, and is now off to to show everyone the might of Gillia's empire. ⛑ [color=Tomato]Magic:[/color] Most of Aer's magic stems from "Molecular Manipulation." Particularly the ability to accelerate and decelerate molecules. By making molecules move faster, Aer causes things to heat up. She can even make molecules move fast enough that it rips apart the fabric of the atoms, creating an explosion. By slowing down molecules, Aer can cause an object to cool. Aer can apply these effects near herself or any of her enchanted gear*. With a catalyst, Aer gains even greater control over her magic by also being able to manipulate heat in a more direct way. Aer's catalysts are capable of creating flames, and can manipulate the movement of flames and heated objects as long as it's near one of her catalysts. Aer does not have to be touching a catalyst in order to cast spells from it, but spells can only come out of a catalyst from a specific face. for clarity, spells can only be launched from the staff at either end, the palms of the battle gloves, and the bottom of her shoes. However, attacks that involve explosions and the like can radiate out at all angles. [i]*All of Aer's gear, from her earnings to her boots, are enchanted.[/i] In layman's terms: Aer can heat, explode, and cool objects that are near Aer or her enchanted items, and can cast fire spells from her catalysts. ⛑ [color=Tomato]Abilities:[/color] [color=Tomato]Rogue:[/color] Aer had very humble beginnings, and underhanded tactics were necessary to survive. Aer possesses all the tools of a thief, from knowing how to move undetected, slight of hand, agility, etc. [color=Tomato]Gillian staff Maiden:[/color] Aer took her training very seriously, and has become one with her staff. She has two primary staff styles. One is an offensive style where the staff is held closer at the end. (like chinese whip-staff style, wushu) and a more defensive style where the staff is held in the middle. (Like Korean Taekwondo) ⛑ [color=Tomato]Equipment:[/color] Due to the nature of Aer's magic, she requires artifacts to utilize it to its full potential. [color=Tomato]Jubilation Staff:[/color] The staff is light and durable. the jewels on either end act as catalysts. [color=Tomato]Gillian Battle mage Uniform:[/color] While it doesn't offer much physical defense, it is light and sewn with magical thread that resist extreme temperature change, like from Aer's spells. [color=Tomato]Battle Caster Gloves:[/color] Resists temperature change and can also act as a catalyst for spells. [color=Tomato]Battle Caster Boots:[/color] Can walk even on lava, but one has to be careful not to sink! can also act as a catalyst for spells.. [color=Tomato]Cute Red Purse:[/color] A cute red purse that looks like a cat. [color=Tomato]Enchanted Coins:[/color] Enchanted coins that are stowed in Aer's cute red purse. The coins have a hole in the center. [color=Tomato]Enchanted Ribbon:[/color] A ribbon Aer keeps in her cute red purse. It's long and soft, and strung threw a few enchanted coins. [color=Tomato]Ugly Brown Purse:[/color] A purse filled with dirt. [i]"I've got a jar of dirt, and guess what's inside it?"[/i]
