[@Myr][@Cruallassar] Allllriiight, here's my second character. She'll be a teacher, despite the fact she looks like a kid. There's a reason for that that I wouldn't mind telling you privately if you're curious/think it needs explaining. [hider=Viola Rifei] [center][img]https://safebooru.org//images/2098/6cb89fe60bf8a8312fcd055f5fac0d2039cc8355.jpg?2187995[/img] [color=a187be]"Do I know you? No, I don't think so, But do you want to play anyways? No? Waaah? You'll make a little girl cry...That's too bad...I am Viola Rifei, pleasure to make your acquaintance. And don't worry about the...chill in the room, dear. Just my...friends, having a little tea party. Care to join us, hmm?~"[/color][/center] [b]Name:[/b] 'Viola Rifei' [b]Race:[/b] Human...? [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Appearance:[/b] You would be forgiven, for believing this teacher to be a child attending the school. In fact, she likes to go around introducing herself as 'headmistress' for giggles, but that'll be discussed elsewhere if you can get her to open up to you. Viola appears to be a young girl, somewhere between the ages of 14 and 17 with long blond hair typically tied back into long braids. She can often be found wearing elaborate dresses ranging from some gothic style ones to more simple, yet elegant ones typically being purple, blue, black, or red in colors. She has bright ember colored eyes and an overall not too impressive build, standing at an incredibly short four foot ten. [b]Personality:[/b] Viola...definitely does not behave the way her appearance might suggest. At first impression, she'd come off as incredibly formal and polite. Talk with her long enough though, and you'll find a somewhat self-centered, cynical, mischievous, somewhat playfully aggressive person who has a rather large seeming ego. However, this is just her attempting to be 'cute' or 'cheeky'. Truthfully, she doesn't take her own words to heart, and would never consider herself better than anyone. After that, she is fairly friendly and likes meeting people and being around people, and also simply likes watching them for...entertainment purposes. Another thing to note, would be an insatiable curiosity about anything and everything. Magic, history, technology...everything. While her physical skills are lacking, her academic studies and focus on such things likely make her one of the smarter persons in the school. However, like with everyone, she does have her own vices and sins. Hers, is curiosity and a lust and love of all knowledge, and her rather cynical and logical outlook on life and people, despite her seeming playfulness. She, would do anything for the sake of knowledge, and her curiosity drives her to meddle in quite a number of affairs, especially ones that offer the most entertainment value. For the most part, they are likely to be harmless...but perhaps, it could get everyone into trouble one day. [b]Magic:[/b] [b]Schools:[/b] Mana - 20 Spirit - 20 Spatial - 14 [Hider=Techniques] [b]Technique:[/b] [i][b]Spirit Crafting:[/b][/i] Mana and Spirit Class Her most notable usage of her magic. To put shortly, this allows her to take power from a number of souls, and give them shape and form much a craftsman would for metal or wood. The spirits will be able to make use of whatever skills given to them in this form, whatever they may be. Viola has an almost preternatural affinity for the spirits of the dead. She's always had it, even when she was a child. It's no surprise that as such, the spirits of the dead are naturally drawn to her. She functions as almost a conduit for lost souls, spirits, and other such entities with nowhere else to go. Those that flock to her, she can give temporary form via infusing them with magic. This is not necromancy mind you since it is not raising the dead - though it could easily be an offshoot of it. She simply gives the spirits a desired form, effect, and abilities and uses them to the full of her ability. She could also change the appearance and abilities of a spirit mid-battle, should she need too. The limitations of the ability are indeed, quite few. It is fairly versatile and powerful if used correctly. All she needs is time, a little creativity, and she could theoretically give a spirit any sort of form possible, Don't assume spirits have to take the form of animate objects either, or you will quickly find yourself surprised. The spirits are faithful servants, lost souls who refuse to move on and will give anything for the ability to linger for even awhile longer. The time these spirits can last is typically limited, and one could endeavor to outlast them. If they use up all of their 'life force' they will dissipate into raw mana and the spirits will return to Viola, where they must rest to be used again. Attacks from these spirits differ greatly on a case to case basis, though none of them are ever physical in nature, and most unless specialized in something else harm the persons soul directly. Blue, destructive flames made by burning a soul are the most common that her spirits will wield, if anything. A few limitations - are that the more powerful, more ability she gives a spirit, means the longer time she needs to craft it. It also means it will likely have a shorter lifespan. Plus, her supply of 'souls' if you will is not infinite, and she can run out which means she would be quite vulnerable. After being used, spirits typically need to rest a bit before being re-used. Plus, it could take time to craft something truly terrifying and powerful that could match another mage in something. [b]Hexes and contracts:[/b] - Spirit Class While fighting dozens of incorporeal spirit beings that can go through walls, jump you at random intervals can be a fair bit hazardous, what is even more frightening is her ability to use hexes to hinder her opponents. Essentially, she crafts a hex into one of her soul creatures and has it deliver it upon its attack. These hexes, while temporary are incredibly potent and can be more than a simple nuisance. A few hexes include: 'Mark' spell which allows her to always know the location of someone, 'Confusion hex' in which a foe is temporarily possessed by the spirit in question, making their movements erratic and having to constantly fight against it. 'A Hatred of the Damned hex' In which ones body is weighed down by seemingly countless numbers of souls, slowing them and making movement difficult for the duration of it. It should be noted that any hex is fairly short lived thanks to the delivery method. Still, they can be a hazard in a fight and make it difficult to fight cleanly. She is also able to 'Contract' a number of spiritual beings by binding them either forcefully to her will or entering into a mutual, temporary contract. She has a number of spiritual entities she is well acquainted with, most are spirits of the dead in some manner. [b]We are Legion[/b] - Spirit Class, Contract. Spatial class, Demon Summoning. Once Upon a time, Viola contracted a powerful, obscene amalgamation of spirits that were beings of vengeance, hatred, and envy. Even today, it still lives with her. She can make use of this spirit in two ways. One way, is that she allows it to temporarily possess herself. A spell she doesn't make use of often, since it is rather dangerous to let any spirits, even those you have contracted to have any degree of control over your body. Essentially, this will grant her physical abilities proportional to the number of spirits she 'consumes' in the process. Enhanced Strength, levitation, and a few other spirit-like traits. The downsides however, are quite...numerous. She will lose control over her body for a time, or at least have trouble controlling it as the hundreds of vengeful specters vie for control over their host. To put simply, the more spirits she has - the stronger she is, but the less control over herself she will have. The second, is to summon it to the battlefield itself in all of its horrific glory. The beast normally resides in a space somewhere between life and death, normally unable to bring itself outside of the confines of its ancient prison. It is quite strong to be sure and something most mages would have great difficulty dealing with...however, the beast is thankfully immobile, relying on Siphoning energy from Viola's soul to move in any capacity. When summoned in this capacity, it will feed off of her own supply of 'souls' as long as its active. The spirit itself, can summon minor spiritual specters to aid it in combat along with Viola's own spirit crafting. She doesn't make use of Legion often, but whens he does you can assume either you will be added to the obscene creatures souls, or you'll have to kill her. Some say 'Viola' isn't a person at all, but this spirits 'Proxy' if you will, and that may not perhaps be far from the truth. [/hider] [b]Skills:[/b] - Excellent Tea maker - Is fluent in a number of dead, ancient, and inhuman languages. - Likes to play pranks on the students. Hope you don't mind a good haunting. - In many ways, comes off as innocently harmful, almost as if she doesn't particularly know any better. [b]Bio:[/b] Viola's history is fairly difficult to pin down, as she never gives a straight answer. She either answers with vague responses that leave one with more questions than answers, or riddles that would make the ancient Norse god Loki scratch his head. She really doesn't like talking about her past at all, and gets cranky if the subject is lingered on for any number of moments. At worst, you'll find yourself being assaulted by a number of mostly harmless spirits that will nibble on you until you shut up about it. What is known however, is that once upon a time she was a part of the Divine War, making her one of the oldest humans living to this day - if she is even still human in any capacity. That said, no record of someone by the name of 'Viola' can be found in whatever records of the wars exist, meaning she's either telling a blatant lie or there's some missing piece of the puzzle. It seems her and Headmaster Wick perhaps may have had some relation in the past, but at the moment the two don't seem particularly well acquainted. Whatever the case with her history, she's not talking without someone prying it from her. Even then, she'd rather choose death than talk over secrets she has no inclination to let others know.
