Alrighty, it took much longer than I thought and there may be spelling, grammar and/or all sorts of other errors, but I'm too tired to really care at this point. I've slaved away at this for a very, very long time and I've got work in about 7.5 hours, so for now, this'll hafta do. This is the character I'd like to propose substituting Silke Valentine with. All are welcome to comment, constructively critizie and/or huggle. [hr] [center] [b]Name:[/b] Ashara Masamune [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Age:[/b] 911 [i](mentally 20~40)[/i] [hider=Appearance, looooong descriptions] [hider=Human Form][img]https://elwiki.net/wiki/images/b/bb/Portrait_-_ShaktiNoFX.png[/img][/hider] [hider=Half-Form][img]https://elwiki.net/wiki/images/0/0c/Portrait_-_Shakti_Celestial_Fox_Form.png[/img][/hider] [hider=Fox Form]Just... Imagine... A big, silvery fox, with nine tails, and glowing red/orange/purple eyes? Like I could find a oicture of that![/hider]She is an exceedingly attractive, young-looking woman - seemingly not past her later teens yet. She stands rather tall at a height of 168cm/5'6" tall. Her hair is a deep, jet-black color, smooth, straight and silky, reaching down to her waiste, with a long fringe hanging down over her forehead. Her face is symmetrical and serene, with amethyst-purple eyes, looking almost like a masterfully crafted doll. Her body is curvaceous and voluptuous, with an ample bosom, slim waist, flat and taut stomach, peach-shaped posterior and shapely thighs. Her fingers and feet are delicate and femenine, unblemished and clean without blisters, callouses or even a speck of dirt. When in her Half-Fox form, her hair turns white as freshly fallen snow, nine fluffy fox-tails sprout from her back, fur as lustrous as shimmering silver and a pair of equally colored and fluffy fox-ears sprout from atop her head. Her attire is an intricate thing indeed. A white strip of fabric encircles her neck, tied with a red string that ends in a tassle beneath a golden brooch. An off-the-shoulders white haori rests below, held tight around her thin torso by a corset-like black and gold-trimmed obi, tied with a red silk band. The sleeves of her robe get wider and more billowing the closer to her wrists they get. The interior of the robe is tailored with pleats of black fabric, trimmed with gold in similar fashion to the decorative obi. From the obi, a long loin-cloth hangs down, ending in a triangular cut with each point accented by a golden tassle. On her back, the red silk transitions to a thick red rope tied into a bow, with the loose ends being woven into various patterns as they trail downwards, ending in three braided strands finished with a golden bell, beneath which the threads of the rope break into a thick tassle. Around her ankles are tied a thinner - but otherwise similar - braid of red thread, encircling her ankles before gently moving across each of her feet to end tied around her middle toes. At the midway-point between the two points, the thread winds itself into a double bow looking like the wings of a butterfly. On the outside of the thread at her ankle sit two golden bells, causing a light jingle with each delicate step she takes.[/hider] [b]Occupation:[/b] Roaming Executioner [b]Residence:[/b] Shadowtower Shrine, Chateau tower [b]Character Focus:[/b] DPS-Hybrid Fighter/Caster, Mage-Killer [hider=Personality:] Ashara has a calm, refined and level-headed air about her. She is refined and graceful in both movement, body-language and in speech. She carries herself with a noble, almost regal, poise but somehow does not come off as snooty or arrogant. She is friendly and polite to all, be they friend or foe alike, and is very hard to anger or upset. Unfortunately, that's about where the image of a perfect person ends for the fox-girl. Although pretty, polite and with graceful conduct, she can be quite the airhead at times and even space out for long periods of time. ALso, due to her creator's personal tastes, she can be a bit of a pervert and has - in particular - yuri-tendencies (that is, she's into other girls). She also does things at a very my-pace, loathe to stress or rush anything - no matter how (un)important it may be. She can also be unintentionally rude, pointing out the elephant in a room when everybody else tries to avoid it. Grace, after all, does not always translate into tact. She can be heartlessly honest sometimes, though with childish innocence not realize she might be hurting or offending others. She is very fond of her creator, Lady Deka_Ribbon, who she considers both as her mother and goddess - and the fact that this important person suddenly vanished and never came back has left Ashara a bit melancholic and saddened, though she does her best to hide this fact.[/hider] [hider=Notable Equipment:] [list][*][i]Shadowfang Spear:[/i] An elaborate and overly exaggerated spear, with a gaudy golden design and being slightly oversized. A later mid-level weapon suited for spear-users, it's main feature is that it deals a bit of physical Shadow-damage in addition to its regular damage, allowing it to bypass lesser physical immunity with additional enchantments or enhancements. Otherwise though, it's a rather unremarkable weapon. [*][i]Ribbonheart's Haori:[/i] This robe was handcrafted by Ashara's creator herself. It was made with high-grade materials and subsequently enchanted after creation, making it a powerful piece of equipment - for its level. Offering the same protection as a full set of Mithril Full Plate, despite being cloth, means its a powerful piece of gear that has very little impact on mobility. In addition, it offers minor resistances to the Light and Dark elements. Finally, since Deka_Ribbon embroided her name into this robe, Ashara treasures its dearly. [*][i]Windflower's Sash:[/i] The obi around Ashara's waist grants her the effects of the spells "Freedom of Movement" and negates lower-level stuns or other movement-impairing abilities, and offers extra resistance against mid-to-high level effects of the same nature. It also grants a slight resistance to all Air element damage. [*][i]Bell of Suzuran:[/i] One of the bells around Ashara's ankles. This item grants a 1% resistance against [i]all[/i] elements, in addition, it decreases the duration of any Poison each time the bell rings (ergo, every step taken). It does, however, not cure Poison instantly and it does not decrease its potency, merely shortening the time it remains in effect until it's gone. [*][i]Bell of the Majó:[/i] Also known as the 'Bell of the Witch'. This other bell around Ashara's ankle provides her with a good deal of mana-regeneration, along with extra protection against Curses and immunity to Silence-type effects that would prohibit spell-casting. However, the bell's effect [i]can[/i] be temporarily disabled with a Dispel-Magic spell or effect. [*][i]Circle of Seven Spirits:[/i] The large, ornate and golden ring that seemingly hovers behind Ashara's back. The purpose of this mysterious item is very simple, whenever Ashara is struck by a spell, part of that spell's MP cost is absorbed and returned to Ashara herself. The amount returned is fairly small though, and it only works against attacks that are considered spells - physical skills are not convertable.[/list][/hider] [b]Creator Information:[/b] Ashara Masamune was created by the player Deka_Ribbon, a japanophile and fujoshi. She was someone who very interested and adored japanese culture, history and aesthetics. In particular she was very interested in eastern mysticism and folklore, and to that end, she created Ashara - her own little fox-youkai waifu. She did extensive research and spent an absolutely absurd amount of time working on the fox-spirit, custom tailoring her appearance, her clothes and even going out of her way to equip her with thematic and appropriate gear. Although originally intended to be a Chapter Keeper, the long development time of Ashara caused other members of Bandersnatch to pass her by, leaving her to instead appoint her creation as the Roaming Executioner. Sadly, Deka_Ribbon passed away while, ironically, on a flight to visit Japan. This left Ashara in the care of the remaining Bandersnatch members.
