I feel like there’s some joke to be made about the greatest tempter or mankind walking into an academy of vulnerable emotional young girls.

But at least Burning Heart can have a friend who understands her warrior wife desire to burn her opposition to ash.

Can fallen angels serve as wedding ministers? I feel like Xolys and Olivia would want the grandest and most awkward wedding service popular. Hmm, who would even go to the Bachelor party…?

Name: Menda Aviss, AKA "Feil" (Norwegian for "Mistaken")
Age: 17
Nationality: Norway
Appearance:



Description: From a middle-class family in Norway, Menda was a shy, yet free, spirit who often took her time reading literature, often learning languages so she could read even more. As much as she loved reading, this would soon be her downfall - at least, that is what she thought or it for a deal of time. After exploring the foreign languages section of the library, only ever repopulated once or twice every other month, she found a book in Latin that peaked her interest. It was a smaller book with a much smaller print, all in Latin. Thankfully, after some research and time, Menda learned what she would need for basic comprehension.

The book, Noctua, wasn't even very special at first glance, the spine having been worn into by many skim throughs. It was not until she had finished the book (about a week after acquiring it) that she was filled with the utmost fear. of what, she didn't know. It took her a while to understand her grimoire and its strengths, along with its weaknesses, for the two to accept one another and for Menda to be bound to the book in a sense.

She knew not of the Grand Ministry, and honestly, upon receiving an invitation to them, thought it was a prank - no one else could have been like her, stumbling across a simple book and being able to manipulate negative emotions...right? She was right, to a degree. In a sense, she would be an 'ugly duckling' in comparison to the more positive abilities that the other girls would have. This had her nervous, and it changed her attitude, where she would sever connections and isolate herself with her books, waiting until the fated day of class would begin.

Grimoire:
Title: Noctua ("The Owl" in Latin)

Classification: Legend

Description: Back when humans were not smart, a farmer mistook an owl that hid in his barn for a monstrous creature, some of the town that saw the owl saying that it was a dragon. The sight of the creature scared even the strongest of the town, until they finally burned the barn down, effectively killing the owl.

Abilities:


  • Burnt Flight - Feil can fly, but she cannot fly any higher than 100 feet off of the ground, else her wings be scorched or, if it is absolutely necessary, her life force be used for the energy required. After such a feat, Menda cannot turn into Feil without a large amount of energy delivered to Menda, a large amount of energy being given to her Grimoire, or 24 hours have passed.
  • Horrific Presence - Feil, when seen by others for the first time, can be mistaken for a dangerous monster. Menda knows not if there is a 'cure'. However, Feil can draw upon this energy and send it to a singular person, initializing a flight or freeze response. This does not work on those who are of incredibly strong will or those that possess a Grimoire.
  • Flash Fire - Offensively, Feil is able to flap her flaming wings to send bursts of flame to foes, inflicting them with a burning effect. Defensively, Feil can use her wings to shield herself from most ranged attacks.
  • Fear Factor - As one of her aces up her sleeve, Feil can rid the fears and woes of others and manifest them in bursts of dark energy that she can use to send projectiles and create weapons with that attack the psyche of foes. She can transfer the woes of others to another person, following the same rules as Horrific Presence, however, unlike Horrific Presence, she can transfer the fear to herself, enabling those unaffected by fears or negative emotions to be embued with confidence and hope. However, if Feil draws upon more than 5 people's fears to take upon herself, she is rendered useless for as little as 1 minute to as high as 10 minutes. To put it in perspective, the same amount of energy is used to:
    - Take the fears of 1 person and transfer them to a foe.
    - Take the fears of 2 people and manifest them into a weapon/projectile.
    - Take the fears of 3 people to bestow upon herself.

Misc:
• Theme Song 1 - Middle of the Night

Hmm, I don't know... This character concept isn't striking a chord with me for a couple reasons:

- Her appearance while transformed is little too inhuman, that's very out of sync with just about everyone, even the antagonistic girls.

- Her emotion manipulation powers would be kinda ok for villain, but they are both inappropriate for player since that can cause OOC issues, not to say anything about being quite pointless against the Pageless since they have no emotions or a mind of their own. That said, this could be reshaped to a more interesting ability, though. Maybe something to do with darkness would be fine.

- The main prolem is her grimoire. Excuse me if I'm just being ignorant, but I don't think I ever heard of that story before, and grimoires shouldn't just be created in a vaccuum like even alters have some basis on some prior existing story after all. Also, the rank is a little too high even if it's an existing story, since it doesn't strike me as something that important.

I know character discussion might not be welcome here, but typing it out and conveying it to others helps?

I agree that the 'fear' part of Menda should go, considering the premise of "Magical Girl". Would it be too cliché for her to be based on the legend of the phoenix? As it seems I will need to find a different grimoire - or, if I am to keep the same grimoire, lower her power to Fable and try and interpret the powers differently than the villainistic approach that I seemed to have taken. I have a fable that refers to the concept of luck and good fortune, that is another alternative.

I am 100% okay with scrapping any parts of the sheet that you two would please. I am not well-versed in fairy tales/legends/myths, besides obvious ones such as Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel, Rapunzel, etc.

@Siber

Character discussion is definitely welcome in the OOC segment.

The issue with her fear power is more so it’d be useless against the Pageless, who have no emotions or human desires to prey on. I can see it working on the other girls if she had, say, an Altered Grimoire but that seems like it does more harm than benefit for her.

As for changing her Grimoire, that depends on the owl aspect. I’m a little confused on what her original Grimoire was so we can start with clarifying that. Is her story the superstition and urban legend humans have of owls? A Grimoire can be most of any story so long as it makes sense and isn’t too vague.

The Owl by The Brothers Grimm. It would have been an old, fairy tale-like story, lost to time perhaps?

Form what I take of it, it is a great depiction of humanity being scared of the unknown. Perhaps I think more on the 'unknown' than the 'fear'?

Interesting. If it's by the Brothers Grimm, it falls under Fable more likely. Grimoire ranks are determined by how much influence they've had over humanity and history, hence Fable, Legend, and Myth. If we stick to the Owl, I think we can manage it with the tweaks we mentioned.

So, edits to add (because spotty internet sucks sometimes)


Grimoire Classification: Fable

Delete: Horrific Presence, Fear Factor

Add:
  • Face the Unknown - A passive ability, FtU creates an aura of bolstering courage around Feil that scales with a combination of her willpower and her physical health. This can be spread to allies within 10 feet (3.05 meters) of her.
  • Shadow Weaver - With the ability to give herself and others around her the advantage of surprise, Feil can hide people from an area of combat, granted that they are away from the fight. Via this method, the person(s) are cloaked by visibility, but not by any other sensory effects, such as hearing or smell.
  • Mild Pyromancy - Able to light and snuff flames no larger than a pumpkin (I was craving pumpkin pie at the time of writing this) in size, Feil can control flames to a certain degree. Whether that is making flames take shape, lessening the sparks in her wings to hide, or to send bolts of flame to enemies, typically dealing no worse than a second degree burn.

Edit backstory to fit edits above ^^^

The second image makes more sense visually if she's being based off the Owl. As for her abilities they all check out to me so. We'll wait for the revised CS to give it a full look.

She's looking better now. As @TheWendil said, let us know when you have finished her revised CS so that we can give her proper second look.
