You're standing in the presence of a living legend!”[/color][/quote][/center] [INDENT][INDENT][color=06A2FF][b]Name[/b][/color] [indent]Odysseus Felicia Malafarina II [color=gray][i][sub]Generally known as “Odd” and “Seus” due to her father and her sharing the same name.[/sub][/i][/color][/indent] [color=06A2FF][b]Appearance[/b][/color] [indent]Odd is a relatively short girl. Standing at 5’2” with silver-blue hair and deep sapphires for eyes, she gives off the impression of a cold yet mischievous young woman. In contrast, she often acts far louder and bolder than that impression appears. Her skin is light, although not pale and her fashion is often practical while giving off the air of a noblewoman.[/indent] [color=06A2FF][b]Age[/b][/color] [indent]18[/indent] [color=06A2FF][b]Bio[/b][/color] [indent]Descended from the famous Malafarina Dynasty, Odysseus shares the name of her legendary father. A father whom has been missing since she was ten years old. In her father’s absence, Mene, his younger and equally as acclaimed sister took it upon herself to raise Odysseus. The reason for which Mene took precedence over her own mother was largely due to the strange illness that had left her mother ill long before her father gave her one last final goodbye. Already acclimated to a life of luxury and wealth, Odd’s ego was only inflated further when she was oft compared to her father and given every opportunity to be reminded that she was great. While she felt saddened by her father’s disappearance and her mother’s unending sickness, Odd took it upon herself to be the son her father always wanted so that when he returned he would never leave her side again. Her competitive nature fueled by the childish thought that if her father, wherever he was, heard that Odysseus was the greatest mage in all of Iliad City them maybe, just maybe, he would come back. So began Odd’s journey to become worthy of the name Odysseus Malafarina and to become the greatest mage that ever lived. Though while her aunt gave her all of the wealth and resources possible to be good enough for the finest schools and teachers, there was no question that Mene had no actual love for Odd. In fact, despite being her only living relative, Mene had contempt for the child she had been forced to raise while her sister-in-law’s continued existence on life support drained her bank account. Odd would get an education befitting of a Malafarina, but she would get parenting like an egotistical parasite deserved. Odd received harsh treatment derived from contemptuous nicknames, remarks, and ultimately even suggestions that her father left because she was born and that he was happy with a new family far away from the sights of Iliad City. While Odd cried into her pillow at night and screamed at the walls, coupled with the cold dinners and hostile living environment, she swore to persevere. She swore to never believe anything anyone said. She would never believe people’s lies. Trust was a mage’s worst weakness and she would never trust someone again. After all, if her own blood said she was a parasite, deadbeat, and failure then what would someone who didn’t really think? It was a hard question to ask herself. The years would pass from her less than idyllic childhood. As she focused hard on being great, things in the estate changed from time-to-time. By the time she stepped foot in Marduk Academy she had become a fully-formed person and was more than happy to live in dormitories over lavish estate bedrooms. Friendships were tough given Odd’s eccentric personality and trust issues, but prior to the school Odd didn’t know what friends were. The people her aunt called friends she constantly used for pawns in political schemes, so that’s what Odd figured friends were for. She didn’t understand them, less alone herself. She just wanted to see her father again. She would do anything it took to make that dream a reality. And so we are here, several years later. Where do things go from here? [/indent] [color=06A2FF][b]Mundane Skills[/b][/color] [indent]Despite her impulsive and seemingly foolish nature, Odysseus is rather well-educated. She is quite fond of classical violin, melodic singing, sailing, and the martial arts. Her father taught her many things she’s fond of prior to his disappearance, though the most important of these interests would have to be classical fencing.[/indent] [color=06A2FF][b]Magic[/b][/color] [indent]Odysseus is the polar opposite of her father on the elemental axis. [i]Literally.[/i] Whereas the elder Odysseus is a bastion of fire, air, and light, his “infamous” daughter wields earth, water, and air. The materialization of this form of [color=06A2FF]elemental magic[/color] results in many effects and for Odd particularly she has found a favorite conceptualization in ice and crystallized earth as part of her magical identity. She can freeze or crack the ground she is standing on, control the inherent temperature of her body, create threads of freezing or sub-freezing water, and use the air around her to propel her into battle. Iconically speaking, she often forms ice crystals as a form of long distance attacks. This unfortunately is limited due to her shorter stamina and physical endurance. Odd has been unable to really grasp healing magic and enhancement magic types to use them effectively in battle, so she has to rely on her innate magical energy and stamina. At times she can be considered a glass cannon due to this, but she isn’t a one-hitter-quitter given she knows how to conserve her magical power in the best way possible for her way of magical performance. Perhaps within the right climate she could grow to be a great mage, but at this time she's got a lot to go to reach her ceiling.
