Hey I saw your RP and thought that it'd be extremely fun. I haven't actually had the chance to roleplay for a couple of years now since I've recently finished up with high school last year. This is a character I actually used a couple of years ago but never had the chance to fix them up and use her in another Fairy Tail roleplay. I took a lot of time into fixing her up from the mess and bland character she originally was. I've never really have a character who grows like this in any of my RPs in the past, so maybe it can be interesting. Let me know if you have any problems with her and I'll fix them up right away for you, or even offer suggestions because I'm open to a lot of options since I'm getting back into all of this stuff. Personally I could have done a Dragon Slayer for the guild but I believe that I wouldn't have made them interesting enough and prefer a character like this to control as.

The scars have faded moderately in present time. [color=f7941d][u][b]Height[/b][/u][/color] 5'7" [color=f7941d][u][b]Defined Ring[/b][/u][/color] Taka wears this ring as a memento of her home country from her biological parents out of respect. It is silver jewellery that goes on her right index finger. The ring has a simple design that has hints of gold dragons at the inner section of the ring. The words [i]CAELEUM[/i] are written on the inside of the ring in faint letters.

She obtained her incredibly harsh attitude from her adoptive father due to how strict he was teaching her. She prefers working by herself or with her father on personal jobs that they received from the people of Onibus Town. Taka is capable of working in a team however she has not had enough opportunities and practice to define those skills to along with others as easily as the guild members. Taka is an individual who seeks strength and power such as being intellectual or physically strong. She guides herself to finish her ultimate goal of making her adoptive father and mentor proud of her work. Growing up in a strict environment however has caused her create a powerful work habit and dedicates herself to complete all tasks to the best of her ability. She has a binary way of looking at the world, Taka strongly believes there is only a [i]YES[/i] and a [i]NO[/i] with no [i]MAYBE[/i] & [i]OR[/i]. Perhaps as she interacts and communicates with more mages from many differentiated backgrounds, this black and white outlook on the world could transform into something completely different. There are many ideals and beliefs that Taka needs to understand and learn to be able to grow as a person emotionally, her time in Dragons Cry will change that for Taka. [color=f7941d][b][u]Positive Traits[/u][/b][/color] Strong determination for work and jobs. Emotionally stable Very confident in her abilities and recognizes that she is still lacking in areas of her skills. Supports younger mages and guild members if they need assistance. Knowledgeable of a variety of different magic types and is useful when making a tactical move. (However she has yet to learn about Lost Magic such as Black Arts, Slaying etc). [color=f7941d][b][u]Negative Traits[/u][/b][/color] Power-hungry and will do anything to become stronger. Arrogant and doesn't give up in a fight or argument easily unless a third party comes in to break it up. Very selfish and egocentric. Weak to water magic. [i]*NOTE: Remember that her time in Dragons Cry potentially will change Taka to become a better person if you believe that she is too harsh. She will not be selfish and egocentric forever. She will eventually become into a kind and caring person who will love her guild members, it's just the way that she was grown up by her mentor. I personally believe growth in a character is extremely important. And no there won't be any of that cop-out trash. She still will do things when asked.[/i] [color=f7941d][u][b]History[/b][/u][/color] Taka was born in a foreign country called Caelum, and was brought over to Fiore when her parents gave up their child to be adopted into a different country. All her parents left for Taka were a family ring that linked back towards her home country Caelum. Taka was put into an orphanage in the town of Onibus, she was adopted by a well-known fire mage named Lukonis who wanted his daughter to be even more successful then he ever will be. Taka learned Fire Magic for years from her mentor/adoptive father. Once Taka was old enough she began to wear the ring that she had kept for years from her biological parents, she began to wear it out of respect for her home and where she came from. Taka never had any interests at first in joining a wizard guild, she thought helping out her father and mentor with side jobs and learning from him would be a relaxing and fitting life for her. However, her eyes had recently gone towards the wizard guild Dragons Cry in the last couple of years due to the tournament system that they used. Taka thought that it was a way to display her skills and be able to learn more spells to become stronger if she happened to join this unique guild, she found Dragon Slayers as the most interesting magic users. This year she entered the tournament not only to scope out the strength and the bond that this infamous guild has, but to test out her magic and determine if she's able to keep her pride and join the guild. Taka received her scar by coming across a Vulcan and being severely hurt by it, her adoptive father Lukonis dealt with it and told Taka to become stronger to protect herself. It is unknown if she has any siblings from her biological family. [h3][color=f7941d][u][b]Magic[/b][/u][/color][/h3] [color=f7941d][b][u]Type of Magic:[/u][/b][/color] Caster [color=f7941d][u][b]Specialization[/b][/u][/color] Fire Magic [color=f7941d][u][b]Style[/b][/u][/color] [color=f7941d][u][b]Phoenix Fire Magic[/b][/u][/color] Taka is an extremely skilled user of fire, which allows her to produce, control, and manipulate fire in different colors, shapes and properties. [u][b][color=f7941d]Infernal Body[/color][/b][/u] Taka has the ability to transform her body into a wave of fire, which can render any physical assault ineffective. When physical assault occurs, the punch/kick e.g the flames will burn the hand/feet. Side effect is that water can hurt her severely, even a drop of water can hurt dangerously. (Similar to Juvia's Water Body from the series but expanded on weaknesses.) However, this spell is rendered useless against Magic that directly targets the user's senses, such as Maguilty Sense. [color=f7941d][u][b]Spells[/b][/u][/color] [color=f7941d][u][b]Basic Spells[/b][/u][/color] - Classic throwing fire at enemy. - Blazing Volcano - Taka puts her hand on the ground, fire then bursts from behind her towards the enemy. When hitting the enemy the fire spreads and explodes. - Star Burner - Fire comes from above the enemy striking down onto them like a shooting star. - Fire Tornado - Taka forms a tornado made of fire by spinning in place, and either hurling herself towards the enemy, or the spiral of fire towards them. [color=f7941d][u][b]Advanced Spells[/b][/u][/color] - Burning Strike (Signature Attack) - Taka starts to run fast towards the enemy making a fire trail behind her. As the trail is made fire that resembles the shape of wolves then run towards the enemy and attacks followed behind by Taka who slashes her fire-covered hands in front of herself, creating a heat wave of fire that engulfs her target.
