[hider=Parks, the (wannabe) fairy king] [b]Name (Former):[/b] Jou Kurata [b]Name (Character):[/b] Parks [b]Age:[/b] 23 [b]Appearance:[/b][hider=Parks!] [img]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C85B4SeUMAAc5gW.jpg:large[/img] Parks went in hard on the fairy theme of his main, selecting the Feyborn race and softening the features as much as possible to give an androgynous look to their character as well as adjusting the colors to make it appear as though they were almost wearing makeup. They stand at about 1 meter (3’3, about half the size of the average character), with a lithe build and longer, black hair. Their armor is a cloth type that has various shades of green to represent the spring court of fey that he summons from.

They tend to treat everything like it’s all a play, dramatically moving their entire body when they speak, standing up when they need to make a point and using their summons to aid in lighting their backdrops. They long for spotlights, but in battle prefers to let others be seen, not one to soak up damage but to deal it from the back while their summons (or servants as they refer to them) do all the work. They treat some people as if they were somehow peasants beneath them as well and flatters all who they can tell don’t appreciate it. They tend to crack under pressure and drop the facade and shift back to their real self, less witty and quiet, letting others figure things out for them, because let's be honest if they were good at strategy they would make their Parks persona good at it too. Once they’re back in character, they will 100% try to take credit for some part of the plan. [b]Abilities:[/b]Most of Parks’ skills are summons, being a summoner and all. Dryad: Summons a nature spirit that can hold down 2 enemies at once, covering them in thorny wooden vines that break in 3 hits Dancing Fog- A cloud of fog is summoned with lights flitting about within it, and giggling can be heard. This fog heals a total of 100% of the caster’s max HP distributed evenly among non-hostile creatures within its reach. Fairy Swarm: Summons 10 small pixies that move in a cloud to distract foes for a short time. They raise critical hit chance for the attackers and lower accuracy for the targets. Minor Summons: Summon elemental fairies to do a number of simple things based on nature. Be it setting things on fire, growing plants to hinder movement, create gusts of wind, freeze things, or mimic certain minor spells from other classes. These all come with a slightly longer cast time, due to the summon appearing and then casting the spell. Mirror Image: Parks makes 2 more of themself that deal next to no damage but lose health at the normal rate. They follow them and cannot act on their own, but perfectly mimic all of their actions to confuse opponents and redirect aggro. Basic magic attacks, no other effects than elemental damage. [b]Skills:[/b] Parks made their way in the game without experiencing much combat, only ever taking trade and political themed quests. Therefore, their weapon abilities are lacking. Speech: Being the noble subclass coupled with their failed acting career, Parks has used this to get some good in game boons through just talking. Tailor: Parks sews a mean set of light/cloth armor. Their skills is fairy high, though not maxed so it’s nothing too sought after. Cooking: Only used a few times to beat quests, it’s... okay food. Overall though, Parks plays the game as a support. Whenever anyone would need a healer or other guild mate to support them while they went off to a dungeon or raid, they would sit in the back and use their summons to do whatever they could to not attract any attention. They have very little offensive capability, but a lot in the way of buffing their friends and applying conditions to their enemies. Their strongest attacks are summons that last for 10 seconds at most and have a high cooldown. [b]Equipment:[/b] Spring Court’s Attire, a mid level armor set for summoners in the support branch. It adds a bit of green into things and boosts the mana pool of the wearer by 10% and increasing condition duration (poisons, stuns, burning, etc) by 5%, and allows for minor aggro redirection through an added skill, Mirror Image. [b]Backstory:[/b] A college drop out with a half completed theater degree and a history of being active only online and not in the gym, Jou was slowly losing steam for real life. Between Dungeons and Dragons games 4 nights a week and running with a roleplay guild on Emerald Odyssey, it was amazing that he managed to stay afloat with his apartment but he always came through with rent that he shared with his 3 roommates. He didn’t even know them, and they just knew him as the guy who doesn’t talk. He would work jobs online, tutoring high schoolers in math he just googled the answers to, writing essays for lazy college students, and even setting up a patreon for his guild that honestly just went to his own pocket. He wasn’t really doing much in the upward movement category of living. His family supported him but he was more worried about himself to really worry about them. He would go to family events and holidays but overall he wasn't too close with anyone in particular. [b]Other:[/b] Parks has the hours of a high level player, but due to avoiding combat at all costs and never picking up a craft, they suffer from a low amount of EXP due to a lack of grinding or level progression in any of his skills other than speech. That and a long history of RP that does nothing for them in the way of levels.. He made his character for an aesthetic and is fairly uncomfortable with the current height of his avatar. The avatar’s androgynous nature seems to be affecting him as well, given the voice being higher pitched and the body slightly more feminine. [/hider]
