Username: Kyoki Real Name: Kasper Valitu Gender: Female in-game, Male outside. Age: 18 Race: Human Class: Sorcerer Subclass: Necromancer Level: 90 [hider=Kyoki's Appearance] [img]https://i.imgur.com/QU5Exmo.jpg[/img] - Main appearance, her current since the 'apocalypse' [img]https://i.imgur.com/lY9tTzL.png[/img] - Informal, home wear She sits at around 5'4/5'3 with an extremely pale and slim build. [/hider] Background: Kasper was a Finnish-American high-school student that had been struggling with the boredom of life. He had little to no interest in education, and a flickering interest in life itself barely kept afloat by the online world. Kasper spent nearly all of his free time online, and the time he didn't spend sitting at a desk he spent on a mobile device. He was a complete outcast, isolated from the real world, only interacting to go to classes and barely even listening half the time. Yet he seemed to revel in this solitude. He was somewhat lucky that his situation allowed this. His parents were barely ever home, often not even in the country due to business trips or return visits to their homeland. Kasper had been a few times but he had little interest in going again, since it didn't really matter where he was in real life and he didn't want to separate himself from the comfort of his nest. Furthermore, a high level of analytical thinking meant that his lack of attendance or interest in class didn't really hinder his grades to the point where his parents would be concerned by his hobbies. Kasper indulged himself in plenty of games, but Elder Tale took his interest because of the ability to express another personality through it. An MMO with flavour and very visually appealing graphics spoke to his soul. It was very enjoyable for him to express a very different side to himself, and be able to be someone different, even if it just was over the web. Little did he know what awaited him. In Game History: Kasper was one of the most sceptical of the apocalypse, but definitely one of the most welcoming. He was entirely sceptical because he wasn't sure it was just a dream gone bad, or his brain was working in overdrive, but he managed to arrive at the conclusion that even he couldn't produce such an advanced dream out of his own consciousness. And given how little he took notice of the real world, he wasn't really bothered about that. The only concerning part for him was the fact that he had ended up as a Female, that was quite a bit shorter than his real life self and of course a different gender entirely. And given as he spent very little time around other people in general, let alone people of the opposite sex, it left him very little interpretation on how to act but what he had seen online and how he had portrayed his character previously through the game. He took it in stride however. A chance to invent a new sense of self was welcoming to the previously nihilist mind that had previously been Kasper. He used the chance to reinvent himself as Kyoki, and that could be whoever he wanted her to be. Especially because people knew very little of her bar the notoriety she had earned among higher level adventurers as a solo sorcerer with a unique build that was pretty strong. Yet, the blessing of an empty friends list was also a curse. He hadn't that much experience interacting with others in a face to face environment and as such, didn't really know how to approach. He'd decided that Kyoki would no longer be a solo adventurer, and wanted to join a party or even a guild, but the idea seemed so far off given how little contacts she had. He'd work to change that. Guild/Position: N/A Personality: The personality that Kasper expresses through Kyoki is something of a strange one. Eccentric and energetic, yet distant and quiet. Kyoki is never quite sure how to ask and often hesitates to speak, not knowing at all what to say. Yet sometimes, she can speak for minutes at a time in great detail her thoughts and machinations of her mind. She still remains the analytical nature of thought that she had in real life, but she combines this with a much more forward, forceful way of action that mostly translates to combat, but also contributes to her interactions. Furthermore, she has an excellent sense of humour but this starkly contrasts to the fact that she struggles to empathise with others or feel much sympathy/emotion herself so this is the only real medium she has to express feeling with others, through laughter. [hider=Skills] Skills: [b]Summon Undead[/b] - This skill stems from her subclass, a rather unusual one for her character archetype. Due to her high level, this undead is immensely useful as a defensive tool and she uses it as something to hide behind and tank aggro for her as well as blocking projectiles. It also boasts moderate offensive capabilities with the ability to apply a disease DoT effect. She can only have two active at max. Carries the appearance of a recently dead human with a crown of flowers. [b]Astral Spellcasting[/b] - This is her unique spellcasting gained from her full astral set. Allows her to combo spellcasts one after another and reduce cooldowns based on how many attacks in succession she makes. This only applies as long as she continues to avoid damage, leading her to be somewhat of a glass cannon that must not be caught. All spellcasts will give the appearance of some kind of constellation depending on the spell whilst being casted as a result of the Orion sash. Unique spells include: Starstrike - A single target neutral damage spell with a very low cooldown and low damage. Used to weave spells Supernova - Large radius AOE fire/explosion spell with a windup and long cooldown but high damage. Celestial Bullet - A small projectile damage spell with very low damage but practically no cooldown and a very low manacost. Used as a tool to dispatch lower level monsters or to kite. Aries Cannon - A small diameter sized beam attack with moderate damage and a moderate cooldown. Reduced cooldown for every successive hit of starstrike. Empyrean Freezing - Probably the most powerful spell that Kyoki has and mostly applicable in PVP. A medium range aoe attack that comes outward from her that has a moderate channel time, an extremely long cooldown and extremely high damage. Things caught in the aoe that perish will take the appearance of something completely frozen. Wall of Fire - Small cast time that creates a moderately large aoe that applies a DoT for those who walk through. Cone of Cold - AoE ice attack that applies frozen debuff to those caught in the radius. Moderate cast time. Chain Lightning - Lightning based spell that bounces through targets. Cooldown reduces for every additional target hit. Immolation - Single target high damage fire based spell that sets the Sunburst - A less powerful form of supernova, but on a significantly lower cooldown. A ball of fire projectile based spell that does area of effect damage. Crown of Stars - 5 sparkling stars appear in a crown-like formation around the users head and allow them to throw them as projectiles. They expand when thrown and deal high damage, but the spell has an extremely long cooldown(maybe usable once per fight) Dancing Lights - A better version of magical light, with multiple applications. Kyoki's are customized to look like a constellation of stars due to her equipment. -- Icicle Impel - A combined magical and weapon-based skill that enchants your weapon with cold air magic, wrapping your body in a chilly blue aura. Even after getting hit, the aura continues wrapping around you for a period of time, increasing your attack evasion rate. Along with Inferno Strike and Thunderbolt Crush, it is a special melee-fighting skill. Because it increases attack evasion, many Sorcerers use it as emergency preparation for an enemy’s special move. Inferno Strike - A combined magical and weapon-based skill that imbues your weapon with fire magic. When an attack hits, a small blast effect surrounds the target and causes them to take continuous Burning damage for a period of time. Although it is powerful, it’s still a melee attack and thus requires you to be in close proximity to your target. As a result, it’s a skill that requires a discerning eye and a great deal of determination to use. There are some uncommon melee-combat builds centered around the usage of this skill called “Magic Knight,” “Magic Swordsman,” etc. Standard: Dread Weapon Force Shield Blink Lightning Nebula Arc Spell Mana Skewer Brand Stake Arc Spell Orbital Blur Disintegrate Death Cloud Singularity Orb of Lava [/hider] Equipment: Pin of Lyra - Artifact - A hairpin acquired a few weeks before the apocalypse through repeatedly grinding through a dungeon. Significantly boosts the amount of mana available to her. as well as a slight boost in defensive capabilities. Orion Sash - Phantasmal - One of two phantasmal pieces of gear that Kyoki holds, it's probably her favourite possession in game. Takes the appearance of a flower emboldened on a white and blue sash around her waist. Gives her spell-casts unique floral and astral visual effects as well as significantly lowering the cool-downs of her special abilities for a slight reduction in potency, making her close range spellslinger style of play more optimal. Obtained from crafting with phantasmal level materials. Andromeda's Dress - Phantasmal - A blue and white dress with floral patterns and quite a few frills, it significantly boosts the power of her spells for a slight reduction in area of effect radius. Slightly more suited to a solo style of play but exponentially boosts her power when she is able to accurately hit her spells. Somewhat cancels out the drawbacks of the Orion sash, leading for the two items to be a potent duo. Obtained through crafting with phantasmal level materials. Persephone's Bracelet - Artifact - Despite being artifact class, it's a pretty rare item. Gives decent protection from magic based attacks as well as a significant reduction to aggro. Obtained on a solo quest. Gemini Heels - Artifact - A matching pair of light blue heels that are engraved with a slight floral imprint. Moderate increase to evasion, speed and aggro reduction. Atlas Dagger - Artifact - A dagger supposedly imbued with the power of Atlas, it's extremely thin, almost needle like to the point where the tip sparkles as if it were incandescent like a shining star. Kyoki uses this as the conduit for her spells as it can also be used to employ magic swordsmen spells and cast just as efficiently as a wand or staff might. Obtained through solo dungeon.

Has an endless appetite in this regard and could completely devour entire cakes if left to her own devices. Also really likes to sing.
