[@Noxxis] Alright! I think this about does it for Liza. Do tell if there are problems, or anything that needs further explaining. After a bit of a break from cleaning this CS up a bit, I'll see about throwing some plot things towards you. [hider=Liza] [center][img]https://safebooru.org//images/1286/4b8127d6bcb782ed895f7bdab3c6377961e0b801.jpg?1339829[/img] [color=8882be][h3]"Alright you louts, shape up! Just because your wizards doesn't mean you can neglect your body training. I want five hundred laps around Magnolia...unless ya think you can take me in a fist fight."[/h3][/color][/center] [b]Name:[/b] Elizabeth Kuznetsov 'Mage-Slayer' 'That silly Knight' [b]Age:[/b] 20 [b]Appearance:[/b] Standing at five foot seven with a somewhat large build, Liza has a somewhat intimidating appearance. She has obvious muscles that could put even most men to shame, spent from a childhood honing both her body and mind to compensate for her lack of innate ability for magic. She has bronze colored skin, and long white hair typically styled in multiple tails. She takes a bit of pride in her appearance, and it shows in her mild exhibitionist tendencies. Typically, when in her 'garage' so to speak, working on her projects she dresses very loosely as one might expect of a mechanic. Simple white tanktops, hair done back in a ponytail along with boots and a tool belt hanging around her waist filled with various tools designed for specialty Lacrima work. When out in the field or simply hanging out with her guild mates, she often dresses a bit more elaborately. A short skirt that falls to just below her waist, with stockings and garters covering her legs, wearing armored boots over them. She wears a simple white shirt over a corset, with a glove on her right hand. The most noticeable thing though, is the armor covering her entire left arm. A specialized magic tool she wears at all times, as well as a sword at her side. [b]Guild:[/b] Fairy Tail [b]Location/Color of Guild Mark:[/b] Outer side of left thigh, bright blue [b]Joined Since:[/b] Liza has been a member of Fairy Tail for 4 years. [b]Magic Type:[/b] Magic Engineering/Item Crafting Liza doesn't actually use magic. In fact, she uses a plethora of magical items at her disposal. She knows how to make magic items, and is constantly working on making more and improving existing ones. Most of hers are one of a kind items, crafted solely by - and used solely by her. She has no problems making other things for the rest of the guild if they want, but she's gonna slap an ad for her store on it. [b]Magic Rank:[/b] A [b]Spells:[/b] N/A [b]Equipment:[/b] [hider=Knights Aegis - AKA, Rust Bucket][img]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d3/b5/91/d3b59185f97f9fdceab93c94ec14e3f7.png[/img] Currently the culmination of her research into using the new battery-type Lacrima as an actual power source. The massive suit of armor is a weighty five-hundred pounds, half a ton, and is not exactly sleek or easy to move without the aid of its magical battery. As well it's a bit of an eyesore, truth be told. Pistons, pulleys, and mechanical parts are easily seen on the surface of the armor and while she has made some efforts to pretty it up, she's accepted the fact this is as far as her current research can get her in terms of looks. The armor itself is made of extremely durable magic metal plating of the heaviest sort, boasting incredibly heavy defense against well...everything, which is initially what it was designed to do. It could easily be fairly intimidating, if it wasn't for its rather cumbersome weight and mild unwieldiness of the suit. It's not going to be winning any speed contests, and not exactly easily made for climbing or other tasks that require a delicate touch or need finessing. Its attack power is reserved for the first three magic items she made - swords and armaments she integrated into the suits design. Unfortunately, as its still technically a prototype it's battery-life is low. Pros - Extremely high defense Versatile attack ability ranging from defense to a balanced offense. High physical strength Able to recharge its magical Lacrimas slowly over time. Not going to be moved easily Cons - Battery life is low, meaning limited usage before unable to be used or needing a recharge. Slow, not exactly agile, a bit unwieldy. All one would have to do to render the armor incapable of use, is to destroy the lacrima or damage it enough. Not going to be winning any chases easily. Minimal ranged capability [hider=Armaments] [b]Retaliation:[/b] In the large armament on the suits left arm, is where the first sword she ever created was integrated into. Named 'Retaliation' for its function, and is her most used weapon. When activated, the blade takes the form of a large ethereal blue blade, able to cut through most non-magic armor and items. The weapons most impressive ability though, is the ability for it to absorb Ethearno from a magical attack, and launch it back at her attacker in various forms of pure magical energy of varying strength, depending on the exact sort of magic absorbed. Works best with elemental attacks, and there is a chance doing this could overload the suit and cause it to emergency vent the excess magic to prevent the Lacrima from being damaged.

At least, that's what it's supposed to be. A sword made purely for defense, and is much more of a shield rather than any offensive armament. Large and heavy, its size has been modified for the superior strength of the Aegis armor, so much so one might mistake it for simply a metal wall with a handle. Despite this, it's able to be swung fairly easily should one have need. It can shrug off most attacks and halt them in their tracks. Its unique ability though, is for it to nullify existing forms of magic in a certain radius around it. It's not a catch-all thing, however. Sufficiently stronger mages could simply ignore this field. As well, the radius is only a few yards - and it doesn't stop magic coming from outside of this radius, only stop it from activating inside the radius. [/hider] [b]Other Equipment:[/b] [b][url=https://i.pinimg.com/236x/2e/f2/73/2ef27399a30524a3bd5b90301f557cbf.jpg]'Onslaught'[/url][/b] A third sword meant specifically for attack, and by far the quickest and most devastating of the current blades she wields. The weapon increases the wielders natural speed, dexterity, and agility, allowing them to be able to perform feats of impressive acrobatics, and likewise utilize the element of wind for offensive attacks. It's able to create powerful, razor sharp slices of wind that can even cut metal. It's most powerful attack is its ability to focus the attack into a penetrating wind able to puncture most forms of defense - and most forms of magic - and deal some fairly massive damage to any target. Unfortunately the high speed of the weapon meant it was ill fitting to be integrated into the Aegis, so she uses it currently as a personal armament for fighting if she can't use Aegis. [b]Exhaurire Magia:[/b] Her first creation. A gauntlet to be worn on ones hand. It's her most refined design as well as one of her most versatile tools yet, able to do a number of different things to aid in combat, as well as a number of different utility functions. Combat wise, it acts as a powerful weapon able to blast concentrated waves of condensed Etherano at targets ranging from 'tickling' to 'leveling a whole building' though the latter would probably break the gauntlet. Additionally, it is capable of forming a shield of the same condensed magical energy that can block most forms of damage well enough, though it wouldn't stop anything greatly damaging or powerful. Its most devastating feature by far though, is its ability to drain a living target of its Etherano and fuel its own battery with it. Of course, one has to touch the actual target and stay connected. It's a bit difficult to use fully since the foe is also not restrained and if had any degree of skill could easily break free from it. Utility wise, it carries several compact long-distance communication lacrima, surveillance Lacrima, and other miscellaneous items in it. She is still trying to modify and upgrade it. When wearing the Aegis armor it can integrate with it to enhance its capabilities, giving the armor some ranged function, though nothing too amazing. [/hider] [b]Personality:[/b] Generally serious, Liza tends to be a rather humorless and severe sort upon first impression. A workaholic through and through, she often forgets to relax and have fun. When you have work to do, resting and fun can come later, and boy does she have a lot of work. Studying, practicing her swordsmanship, tinkering with Lacrima and magic items...the girl barely has any time to consider the possibility of 'fun'. She tends to get annoyed when people interrupt her work, and tends to spend days at a time in her workshop improving her designs. She absolutely loves magic items. Originally being from Edolas she has a fair affinity for them, even if she doesn't even remember she's not from Earthland. She absolutely loves working with them, tinkering with them, and making them better and she prides herself on being the best creator and user of magic items in existence. While some may argue magic items will never match a mage completely...well, she intends to change that perception, and make Lacrima powered magic items even normal people can use. When she does take a rare moment to relax, people will find a girl that likes drinking, roughhousing with her guild mates and above all, adores and cherishes them. Liza is extremely loyal, and with a heavy sense of justice will not let any wrong-doing go unpunished. She has a rather romanticist view of chivalry, honor, and knights and has at times been called silly for her loyalty and admiration of such things. [b]History/Bio:[/b] Liza's history is fuzzy, even to her. She remembers at one time she lived in a large lab of some sort, along with her parents. They lived there simply because their parents had to be close to their work. She had no idea what they were working on, but it was important. At least, to them at any rate. Some sort of large magical structure or something. She hadn't a clue - she was too young to understand at the time. What she does remember, though... was that it went horribly, horribly, wrong. Explosions. Screams. Blaring warning sirens. A shard of Lacrima nearly costing her an eye, the feeling of weightlessness, her reaching out to her parents as she was launched into the sky. Then tumbling down the side of a mountain somewhere. The young Liza of course, was absolutely terrified. A young child hardly had any ability to cope with something like this, but she did her best. Her parents taught her well and what to do in this situation. Told her to stay put, and that someone would eventually come and find her. A day or so passed, but no one came. Disheartened, she started walking. As luck would have it, she eventually wondered into a fairly well-traveled road, and as she collapsed from exhaustion it just so happened a family returning from vacation passed through the area at the same time. Seeing the battered, half-starved child on the road...well, they couldn't just leave her there. They immediately brought her to the nearest city, which thankfully was their home. After nursing her back to health and while she was initially suspicious of them, they eventually took her in as their own after no leads could be found to her actual parents, and she had no memories regarding how she even got there. Most people didn't take her seriously when she told them, after all. Passed it off as a child creating a fanciful notion of terrible events. Even now, she struggles to believe herself at times, but she tries not to think about it. As she grew up, she saw and heard tales of mages performing incredible feats with magic. Thwarting bad guys and doing good deeds. She decided she herself wanted to help, but it was a fruitless endeavor. She, like 90% of the population of Earthland were incapable of using magic like most of the mages. Still, she wouldn't give up. No one believed her when she said she was from a world where magic items used to be the norm some decade or so ago, but she'd change that. She'd make her memories a reality. So what'd she do? She devoted her entire life to studying the under-appreciated field of magic items. Something that most found, she quite excelled at. Magic items hadn't been fairly developed due to most mages being able to channel magic through their bodies, so most found it inconvenient to use such things save for perhaps, a few other skilled individuals. So for years she worked to improve her magic-item crafting and ultimately complete her goal of bringing Magic Items up to par with actual magic. She still has a long way to go, however. It takes more than one visionary working to change the views of an entire world. To help further her own goals and spread the word of her inventions, she has taken to join a guild. Fairy Tail, after hearing amazing tales of past exploits she decided to join up, and has sense become a valuable member of the guild. She even developed a new type of Lacrima, albeit its rather small and extremely complicated and expensive to make at the moment - A type of lacrima that passively draws Ethearno, that is magic power, from the air and charges the object over time. [b]Extra:[/b] -Birthday: February 13th. -Her home is basically a giant magic engineering lab and a store by the name of 'The Bronze Buttress' -Any item made by her, is slapped with an ad for her store on it. (The Aegis armor has a stylized image of her face on the chest and her store name) -Is in fact, left handed. -Skilled in a number of sword fighting styles, as well as hand-to-to hand combat styles. -Has a foster mother, father, and brother she keeps in contact with and writes to almost weekly, and visits at least monthly. -Her dream is to make magical armor like hers accessible to everyone, even those without magic like her.
