Yes, she's a [i]gifted[/i] kid, as her teachers put it, but she's...still a kid. She's incredibly excitable and has difficulty controlling herself when she gets really hyped up. But it's also not uncommon for her to break down crying, or for her to get really petulant and frustrated at little things. Though she really does try to control her emotions the best she can, she's only 15 years old, with everything that entails. If she's in a very stressful situation, it's not going to be incredibly easy for her to get a handle on herself.[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=SILVER][b]You Can Do It![/b] [COLOR=#807B84]Though Calla's emotions are pretty unstable because of the situation that she's found herself in, her default state is an incredibly kind, empathetic individual. She's the first to cheer someone on, and usually the last to stop, usually more than is tactful. She's a fountain of endless energy, and even if she doesn't really know what to say most of the time given her immaturity—she simply doesn't have the wisdom or experience that she needs to help people how she wishes she could—she really, honestly wants everybody to be as happy as they possibly can.[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=SILVER][b]Out Of Her Depth[/b] [COLOR=#807B84]Calla is...out of her depth. And she knows it. This is not only her first MMO, but her first [i]video game[/i]. She first picked it up after moving to America, hoping to make some new friends online. She didn't even know there was a leaderboard; she eventually stumbled into a decent-ish build after a lot of help from some nice fellow Germans that she ran into and hung out with for a while, but they stopped logging on. She still doesn't quite understand how the game works, how a raid works, or even exactly how her build works inside and out. But she [i]knows[/i] she doesn't know what she's doing, and she takes every opportunity to improve.[/COLOR][/COLOR] [/SUP][/indent][/hider] [hider=// BENCHMARKS][indent][SUB][b]B E N C H M A R K S[/b][/sub] [sup][COLOR=SILVER][b]Surging Tides[/b] [COLOR=#807B84]Calla's magic is heavily based around astonishingly wide-ranging crowd control. Not [i]entirely[/i]—the people that helped her make her build made sure to impress on her the importance of having some damage and some more traditional healing in her kit for when she really needed it—but ALMOST entirely. From locking enemies in suddenly-manifested bubbles, choking off their air and keeping them still, to pulling them into the center of conjured whirlpools, she doesn't care much for doing the damage herself. She wants to make it easier for her team to.[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=SILVER][b]Shining Silver[/b] [COLOR=#807B84]Since she can remember, Calla has always had a fascination with expensive jewelry, especially stuff made of silvers and blues. She's too young back in the real world to have many accessories, and she certainly doesn't have the disposable spending money to blow any of it on expensive jewelry. No such limit in Pariah, though; her chosen profession is a jeweler, and she finds it endlessly fascinating. While it's not a bad way to make money in-game, it's also something that she genuinely loves; the more she does it in-game, the more she can see herself going into it professionally once she graduates.[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=SILVER][b]Nimble[/b] [COLOR=#807B84]Though Calla certainly isn't athletic, she isn't entirely lacking in physical skills. Her small size forms the basis of her main defensive strategy in Pariah: stay far away from the fight, and keep moving! She's surprisingly quick on her feet, quite agile and able to turn on a dime if she needs to. She can't keep it up for very long, as her endurance could not be called [i]stellar,[/i] but it usually lasts long enough for a tank to draw up aggro and let her get out of the scrape with a minimum of damage taken.[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=SILVER][b]I Could Never![/b] [COLOR=#807B84]Never once in all of Pariah has Calla toggled PvP. Not because she wouldn't be good at it—though, with her slower reaction speed and low DPS build, she probably wouldn't—but because she couldn't even [i]imagine[/i] hurting another person. She is a dyed-in-the-wool pacifist. The thought of inflicting pain, whether it be physical or emotional, on another human being leaves her feeling sick to her stomach. She's never talked back to an elder (except her parents, of course, to whom she's a bratty 15 year old girl like anyone else), never insulted a classmate, never, ever, EVER gotten into a physical fight, not that she can remember.[/COLOR][/COLOR] [/SUP][/indent][/hider] [/cell][cell][b]Physical Description[/b] [color=#807B84][indent]Lili is a fifteen year old girl, a little bit tall for her age at five feet, four inches. As a young teenager, she's physically not fully developed, slender and petite with little in the way of curvature. A cheerful smile constantly adorns her face, and her bright blue eyes constantly glisten with a barely-restrained excitement and verve for life. Her long, wavy blonde hair, cut in messy bangs in front and about to the small of her back, is filled with flyways, untamable no matter how much she tries to control it. And she does try to control it; she is very proud of her hair, and takes exceptionally good care of it even if it won't listen to a thing she does. Though her arms are stick-thin—she doesn't much use them for anything that would build considerable muscle—her legs are quite long and powerful for a fifteen-year-old, as befits a runner for her high school's track team. She has large hands, long-fingered and delicate, and is constantly self-conscious of them. She has a long, ragged scar that runs down the back of her left arm as a result of an accident she had with a bicycle when she was twelve, and she still hates the things today. Calla is almost exactly the same in appearance to Lili. Her eyes, her hair, her height, her build, the irrepressible excitement in her eyes, the constant smile; from the outside looking in, she's almost indistinguishable from her IRL self. There are a number of very small changes, though, each of which represents a bit of her subconscious desires. Hair straight and tamed, falling all the way down her thighs without requiring much upkeep. Perfect. Rippled scar missing, replaced with smooth, unblemished skin. Perfect. Hands small and fine. Perfect. Nothing you would notice if you didn't know her waking self. She holds herself in a very relaxed way, tapping her feet and bobbing her head to a soundtrack only she can hear and speaking very informally to everyone. She wears an elaborate robe over lightweight clothing, no armor whatsoever. [/indent][/color] [b]Character Conceptualization[/b] [color=#807B84][indent]Lili's life has been a pressure cooker from the start. Sophia and Anton Lindholm had tried to have children many, many times. But nothing. Sophia blamed herself, and Anton blamed himself. It was a tense, stressful situation for both of them, and though neither wanted to say anything about it, it was starting to stretch their marriage. And then came Lili. The miracle baby. Born prematurely and with underdeveloped lungs, she spent her first two years in the hospital. Her parents hovered around her anxiously and constantly, worried for their little miracle. And when she got out of the hospital and all three of them went home, they wept with happiness. Their little girl was perfect. Perfect. The word 'perfect' would haunt Lili for the rest of her life. The word 'miracle' came with it. Her parents were absolutely doting, and she wanted for little. Up through six years old, her life was...[i]perfect.[/i] And then she entered first grade, and the pressure started. Sophia and Anton never yelled at her or scolded her. They never restricted anything of hers, and they never directly told her that she'd done something wrong. But whenever—even in first grade—she would bring home a poor grade, they would go quiet, subdued. Dinner would be awkward. Lili learned very early on that if she wanted her parents to be happy, then she needed to work hard. And as she aged and learned about why she remembered the hospital, how much of a 'miracle' she was, that pressure to make her parents happier only increased. That's not to say she wilted. In fact, she thrived under the pressure. She began to take a fierce and intense pride in how well she did in schooling very early, and she began to put that pressure on herself instead of taking it from her parents. To always get the highest score on every exam. Soon, it began to extend past grades. She began to put pressure on herself to be as cheerful as she could. To make as many friends as she possibly could. To be the best friend to them as she could be. To be...[i]perfect.[/i] A girl can only take so much pressure. In her last year of middle school—the workload more than she'd ever had before, more people to make friends with, harder to be happy—she snapped. During mathematics class, she received an exam back and did worse than she thought. The next thing she remembers is being at home, in bed, with her mom Sophia hugging her and crying. Her memories of the next week and a half are hazy and fragmented at best. Her complete nervous breakdown had made her parents feel horrible about what they'd done to their daughter. Their miracle child. Even once she returned to school, people, even friends, looked at her worriedly, like she'd break if breathed on a little too hard. Her omnipresent smile was rarely seen. And then she was offered something by her parents that would change her life. Sophia's job as a lecturer was bringing her to Boston, Massachusetts, and did she want to come along and go to school there, make new friends? She's spent almost a year in America now, and her smile's come back. She's taken it a little bit easier, joining the track team to find even more people to interact with. She'd always enjoyed running, after all. One of her new friends introduced her some months ago to a fantastic new game on the market, and always game to try something new, she booted up Pariah. She's happy now. But still, she nurses a secret guilt. Her parents worry about her so much. She wishes she could live up to their expectations. That she could be more... Perfect. [/indent][/color] [b]Other Information[/b] [color=#807B84][indent] [hider=Spells] [color=#000E88]Springflut (Riptide)[/color] - The only real damage spell in Calla's arsenal, Riptide blasts a high-pressure stream of water at her enemy. It's a small attack, dealing moderate damage, but with almost no AoE. She spams it whenever she can, as long as she's careful not to build fatigue too quickly. [color=#000E88]Traumblase (Dream Bubble)[/color] - After a brief channel, all enemies around her are trapped in floating bubbles of water, suspending them off the ground and choking them off of air. It doesn't last very long and has an upper limit on the size of the bubble it can make, but it's fairly low fatigue and has no target limit. Her most common spell for raids. [color=#000E88]Sturtzflut (Flash Flood)[/color] - A wave bursts out from Calla, dealing a little damage to enemies that it comes in contact with. Its main use, though, is safety; it knocks down and shoves away most enemies, and even staggers bosses. She can add more waves to Flash Flood, repeating the effects and dealing escalating damage, but the fatigue drain for each wave escalates as more of them are added, and she's not exactly a paragon of endurance. [color=#000E88]Wasserwirbel (Whirlpool)[/color] - Bringing both hands together, Calla channels, creating a huge magical whirlpool at a point she can see within a couple hundred feet of her. All enemies are dragged to the center, taking moderate damage for each second they spend in the whirlpool. It's certainly possible to escape from the whirlpool, especially larger enemies, but the colossal area of effect more than makes up for it. This is a fully channeled spell with a heavy fatigue cost. [color=#000E88]Heilendes Wasser (Healing Waters)[/color] - Though far from a dedicated healer, Calla can mend minor wounds with a gentle mist. She needs to be within ten or fifteen feet to do it, but it's a nice thing to have in her kit when the raid starts yelling at her to pull her weight. It can be self-targeted. [color=#000E88]Regenschauer (Rainstorm)[/color] - A [i]torrential[/i] downpour opens up in a localized area, hammering down with intense force. Smaller enemies are driven completely to the ground, and larger ones are heavily slowed. Every enemy in it has their vision completely obscured of what's outside of the storm. [/hider] She speaks with a heavy German accent that I have literally no idea how to transcribe. [/indent][/color] [/cell][/row][/table][/COLOR]
