Well, after much work, here is my sheet. I hope it' alright. [hider=Sealed Star] [b]Name:[/b] Sloane Vinicula Maddox [b]Age:[/b] 18 [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Role:[/b] Demon Weapon [b]Special Trait:[/b] Power Amp – While Sloane has a very narrow range of compatibility, her ability to boost the soul wavelength of a meister is actually very strong, allowing a strong resonance to be built in very little time, which in turn supports potent soul-enhanced techniques. [b]Strengths:[/b] Sloane's strengths typically only see the light of day if she is able to overcome her mental hurdles. If somehow able to apply herself to a situation and extend effort without fear of failure, Sloane is a fairly talented individual. She's observant, intelligent, able to learn quickly and solve problems, physically fit, and a good fighter. A natural affinity plus lots of training allow her to partially change into her weapon form, manifesting her halberd's axehead or spearhead almost anywhere on her body. Overall, she's pretty strong offensively if she can be coaxed into it. Around friends -people who've treated her well and supported her, with patience and kindness, despite her shortcomings and built up mutual trust- she feels able to try and be the person she wishes she could be all the time, a good friend and companion who's always there for those she cares about. [b]Weaknesses:[/b] Under the weight of a self-imposed pressure to be flawless and brilliant, she can't stand to fail and let people down. As such, she appears reluctant to put any effort forward, gets moody if she has to, and even moodier if she messes up. Sloane's typical standoffish attitude makes her difficult to deal with as a person and difficult to handle as a weapon. Her behavior makes her unlikable as a companion and teammate, and when in weapon form, she's poorly balanced and unwieldy at best but literally caustic to a wielder's hands at worst. It's difficult for her to get along with others. In addition, her ability to take hits is pretty poor. [b]Partner:[/b] N/A [b]Soul Type and Appearance:[/b] A maroon, disinterested soul. Its eyes are downcast and its face scrunched-up, while there's a bow behind it. [b]Appearance:[/b] Fairly tall and overall slender (except where she shouldn't be), Sloane cuts a striking figure only further aided by her choice of attire. [hider=With and without coat][img]https://i.imgur.com/DuIMHs7.png[/img][/hider] [b]Weapon Appearance and Description:[/b] As a weapon Sloane takes the appearance of a gleaming halberd, a weapon that combines the strength of an axe with the reach and precision of a spear. With vivid color and masterful contours, it makes for a dazzling weapon, but it's actually fairly impractical. Its shaft is hard to get a good grip on, and with a lot of weight in the axe-head the halberd's balance is pretty unusual, making the weapon unwieldy. [hider=Beautiful Disaster][img]https://gbf.wiki/images/a/a8/Weapon_b_1030204500.png[/img][/hider] [b]Personality:[/b] Cold, unapproachable, pessimistic, snappy, sarcastic, even churlish—Sloane is all these things and more. She gives off the air of someone fixated on Number One, uncaring about anyone else. However, she wishes this wasn't the case. If she could, Sloane would be outgoing, supportive, friendly, humorous, and enthusiastic, but instead her natural perfectionism fills her with anxiety and inadequacy. Having convinced herself by numerous incidents and failed attempts that she can't be a better person, and that her only inherent qualities that make herself worth anything in the eyes of others are superficial, she possesses rock-bottom self-esteem. This sustains the surly, morose mood that leads her to be unkind to others, be it by assuming the worst or making fun. In most situations she would rather not try than risk failure. Despite all this, if able to get past her own mental hurdles to apply herself, she is both a kind and principled person, even cheerful and funny, as well as an intelligent and capable problem-solver. In order to manifest this side of herself, however, she needs the unflinching goodness of others. As side-notes, Sloane is fond of sleeping, clothes, cars, horror and monsters, history, and poetry. [b]Backstory:[/b] Ambrose Maddox and Millicent Roads suited one another perfectly. Ambitious, smart, headstrong, vivacious, hailing from poor families, and perpetually down in their luck, they found in each other the perfect partner in their shared vision of the good life. Married fresh out of university mostly paid for by scholarships and looking to square their debts before making it big, they started up a daring business and got to work. Years passed and business fluctuated wildly, sometimes landing the couple a few months of blissful comfort and sometimes sending them sleepless nights in crippling debt, counting on that next shipment. They worked hard, demanding the best from one another, and though it strained their relationship at times, they finally achieved something like their dream of success. It wasn't quite the peak they hoped for, but they were happy. When they had children, a son and two daughters, they sought to bring them up as just the sort of hard-working, self-made successes they themselves had been. Unfortunately, their luck did not hold. Their son Verne, a kind and self-effacing soul without any more ambition that helping out others, proved to be a disappointment to them. Their oldest daughter, Minette, turned out startlingly like Millicent's mother, who'd been a primary factor for her drive to earn a better life; she was lazy and a slob, and frightfully overweight. That left Sloane, quiet and smart, clearly gifted, and eager to achieve. The cost of raising three children plus a sudden downturn in the couple's ever-changing business gradually brought around tough times for the family, and so it was that the parents' ambitious turned to Sloane. Sloane's parents raised her with sky-high expectations. Having fallen short of the good life they sought, her mother and father strove to make her into the perfect, golden child. They imposed high standards and seldom rewarded her successes, instead punishing and correcting her mistakes. She was taught to be the best and settle for nothing less, and for a long time she tried very hard. Eventually, however, Sloane hit her breaking point. In her teens, with the pressure mounting of getting into a good school with huge scholarships, her attempts to be perfect started to backfire. She started getting angry with herself and those around her when she failed, and refusing to try when success wasn't assured. Her parents, worried that their star was burning out, increased the pressure. In time the bright girl became standoffish, rude, and withdrawn, unwilling to open up and brutally critical of herself. Despairing, her parents wrote her off as another failure. It was at that time, however, that her abilities as a demon weapon manifested. The product of a recessive gene long-hidden in her father's family line, she revealed herself to be a stunning weapon, and suddenly a new avenue was open to her parents. They reached out for meisters about her age, making offers to try and get her paired with an up-and-coming meister bound for success. If their daughter could become a Death Scythe, after all, no shortage of fame and fortune would be forthcoming for her family. Sloane tried one match, regretted it immensely, and promptly abandoned her mother and father. She wandered for a time, finding shelter and work where able. She spent some time with her brother and sister (working toward becoming a butler and a chef, respectively), her only confidantes for many years, but ended up at the DWMA. [/hider]
