[hider=// PERSONALITY][indent][SUB][b]P E R S O N A L I T Y[/b][/sub]

[sup][COLOR=SILVER][b]Tired[/b]
[COLOR=#807B84]Though of course CC and Vizera aren't recognizably the same person in Pariah Online, many of the personality traits she's developed from being plagued with constant watchers--parents, studio, media--carry over, and none are as prominent as how [i]tired[/i] she seems. Not tired as in 'wants to go to sleep,' but rather, 'exhausted by the world.' She would likely be more aggressive towards people now that she can get away with it, but she's just so drained from her day-to-day life that she doesn't even have the energy for that.[/COLOR][/COLOR]

[COLOR=SILVER][b]Irritable[/b]
[COLOR=#807B84]Out-and-out aggression is, as mentioned, not in her wheelhouse often because of how existentially tired she is. But annoyance and irritation don't take as much effort. And she really is one of the two often; as often as she can be. It's not really that she [i]enjoys[/i] it, but there's a certain catharsis that comes from being able to freely express her emotional state--something she can't do IRL--that she has a really bad tendency to indulge in, to the point where simply the state of [i]being annoyed[/i] is almost an addiction.[/COLOR][/COLOR]

[COLOR=SILVER][b]Oh Boy, She's Got A Complex[/b]
[COLOR=#807B84]Years of guilt-tripping and near-psychological abuse from her parents--who she sometimes thinks see her more as a meal ticket to Hollywood than a daughter to care about--has really done a number of CC's psychological well-being, and this might translate the best out of all her personality traits. Most of the time, she acts like you might expect an incredibly rich, probably spoiled girl living in her parent's mansion in Beverly Hills might; self-centered, dismissive of others, and arrogant beyond belief. But this is mostly a facade--one that's so firmly entrenched in her identity through years of hiding her feelings that it remains even in the dreamscape world of Pariah. Dig a little bit, and you'll find that she's sitting on a deep, deep well of self-loathing and inferiority, all hidden behind her thin smug-bitch veneer.[/COLOR][/COLOR]

[hider=// BENCHMARKS][indent][SUB][b]B E N C H M A R K S[/b][/sub]

[sup][COLOR=SILVER][b]Heat-Drinker[/b]
[COLOR=#807B84]Vizera has a very specific manner of using her magic; her playstyle has become so hyperspecialized that she can't even [i]use[/i] normal Primordial fire spells most of the time. All of her DPS is fueled by Heat, which she needs to acquire by using her usual damage spell, Heat-Siphon, to siphon it off enemies, dealing a little bit of frost damage and slowing in an area of effect, siphoning a bit of Heat off everyone she hits. Once she's gotten enough Heat, though, she can unleash it in several different incredibly powerful abilities that fully manifest her insanely destructive fire DPS.[/COLOR][/COLOR]

[COLOR=SILVER][b]Bladestorm[/b]
[COLOR=#807B84]Of course, she needs to have some way to back up her DPS when she can't unleash Heat, and between cooldown periods of Heat-Siphon. Thus, even though most of her DPS comes from magic damage--channeled through her weapons or not--she's also pretty competent as using her swords on their own. She's certainly not master at it--it's not where her damage really lies--but hey, it's [i]something[/i].[/COLOR][/COLOR]

[COLOR=SILVER][b]Alchemistress[/b]
[COLOR=#807B84]When she was first searching out a profession in Pariah, Vizera was mostly looking for something to do when something horrible had happened IRL and her hands were shaking too much for her to hold on to the handles of her swords. Over time, though, she discovered that her chosen profession--alchemy, specifically beneficial potions over poisons--really did help to calm her nerves. It's almost a meditative thing for her, and she uses it in that capacity almost more than she uses it for the pure material benefit that potions grant. She's gotten decent at it--not great, mind you--but decent.[/COLOR][/COLOR]

[COLOR=SILVER][b]Hit and RUN[/b]
[COLOR=#807B84]Because of her on-and-off playstyle, alternating periods of big damage falloff with absolutely absurd levels of DPS--enough to keep her on par with (or at least only [i]slightly[/i] behind) consistent DPS builds by sheer virtue of how powerful her Heat-fueled abilities are--she can't afford to lose even a second of her main damage phases, or her overall DPS plummets like nothing else. So, she's learned to be very sparing with exactly when she decides to go in, and to invest most of her energy when her Heat isn't up not in dealing damage like a normal DPS, but rather in constant, consistent dodging.[/COLOR][/COLOR]

[/cell][cell][b]Physical Description[/b]
[color=#807B84][indent]Cecilia Monaghan, known sometimes as CC, has a bit of a weird appearance. She has all the makings of someone stereotypically beautiful; California-sunkissed skin, wispy hair a beautiful honey-blonde, and--one of her really big claims to fame as an up-and-coming child star--eyes that appeared more purple than blue, like the old actress Elizabeth Taylor's were supposed to be. She's 5'6" and well-proportioned, with a symmetrical face and a cute button nose. Her figure, too, is no slouch; while certainly not an hourglass, her pear-shaped hips have certainly turned some heads over the years, even before she started obsessively padding her chest to make her appearance more balanced. But the thing is...she has all these makings of a beautiful woman, but methodically and categorically [i]refuses all of them.[/i] She spends all her time inside, ruining her complexion. She refuses to wash and brush her hair most of the time, leaving it a matted, greasy, tangled mess. As mentioned, she does her best to balance out her prominent hips with a padded bust. Her lovely face is twisted with the most unpleasant, grumpy expressions 99% of the time she's conscious. She's the picture-perfect epitome of, well, what she is: a formerly-popular child star, now long burnt out.

Vizera, on the other hand, is what CC longs to be more than anything. She's not beautiful in the same revolting 'cute' way that Cecilia has always been considered, ever since she was catapulted into fame. She's sleek. Dangerous. All of the curves in her hips that she detests are smothered, and her modest bust follows suit, leaving her a tall, thin, whiplike woman with a jagged expression on her face, halfway between a grin and a grimace. Her usual attire--board shorts and a tank top--are discarded for a long, dramatic, black trench coat, capped with a feathered hat. Of course, Cecilia is still visible underneath--her hair is the same color, and her face has the same shape, her skin is still the same tan. If you looked carefully enough, you could easily pin the washed-up child star to Vizera. But one [i]very important thing[/i] has changed: ever since the pressure started building, Cecilia learned to hate her violet eyes. They brought her nothing but attention, and she wanted absolutely zero to do with them. This, at least, is a wish that has been granted to her by Pariah: her eyes are a merciful red-orange.

[b]Character Conceptualization[/b]
[color=#807B84][indent]Vizera probably doesn't like you.

Or, well, that's what she lets on. Which might make you wonder why she spends time around you, because she sticks around for some weird reason. And it probably confuses you for quite some time, since she seems to...well, she doesn't seem to have the energy to hate your guts, but she seems like she [i]would[/i] if she [i]did.[/i]

But then you realize a couple days in when you're on a dangerous dungeon delve that gives you literally no loot and Vizera insists on accompanying you--and you can see her resisting being closer to you when you're moving through the dungeon--that Vizera probably doesn't dislike you. Or, well, she doesn't dislike you as much as she can not dislike anybody. No, what you end up realizing halfway through this lootless dungeon after Vizera stays close to you instead of wandering off searching for whatever someone might have missed is that, past her layers of irritability, annoyance, and bullshit, Vizera is [i]desperately[/i] lonely.

And yet--in a seeming contradiction that might leave you confused if you don't understand what's led her to that point--she really seems to [i]hate[/i] it when attention is on it. To DESPISE it in a truly fantastical way. She'll nose into your life, sure, but if you ask her a single thing about herself, either in game or IRL, she clamps her mouth closed in record speed and moves on. The insane pressure that has been placed on Cecilia for most of her life, and certainly all of her adult life, gives her an intense aversion to being the center of attention, and this carries through into Vizera just as strongly. She's done things that some would balk at to avoid being known; she monitors her position on the DPS leaderboard OBSESSIVELY, and whenever it breaks into the top five thousand slots she goes on a rampage of [i]terrible[/i] group dungeoneering, throwing herself into hordes of enemies without building up her Heat and barely making it out in time to be healed. She throws entire dungeon raids into the garbage for the sole purpose of making as few waves in Pariah's overall community as she possible can. After all, better to be 'that one shitty DPS that ruined our raid' than a celebrity [i]here[/i] too; one that will inevitably burn out once again.

She also seems to be online a [i]lot[/i] more than most people are. She'll log time into Pariah for over ten hours a [i]day[/i], and that's part of the reason that she's managed such a specialized build and such a high level, despite only playing for a couple months at this point.

Recently, she's found another way to avoid notice; despite her trash position on the boards, she's managed to finagle her way into a guild called the [i]Gloro Inquisitors[/i] with a couple well-done raids, and remains near the very bottom of the guild. [i]After all[/i], goes her rationale, [i]who are paid less attention than the worst members of a good guild?[/i]

[b]Other Information[/b]
[color=#807B84][indent]
[hider=Heat Spells]
[color=#FF8d2F]Fever Drive[/color] - Vizera's main DPS ability. Ignites her swords in fire, extending her attack range by almost double and [i]massively[/i] empowering her movement speed, attack speed, and damage. Every enemy she kills during the duration replenishes some of her Heat. She can't cancel this ability; it continues until her Heat runs out.

[color=#FF8d2F]Burn The Sky[/color] - A channeled ability that unleashes a huge beam of intense fire wherever Vizera directs with her hands, dealing huge fire DPS. Lasts a maximum of six seconds.

[color=#FF8d2F]Flamebreak[/color] - The only hard CC that Vizera has access to in her kit. It has two functions: the first drains a small amount of Heat to place a Break Rune on the target, stacking up to ten runes. These last until she detonates them. The second detonates all the runes on a specific target, dealing damage--from relatively minor to the most burst damage she can pack at once--based on the amount of runes on the target, and stuns them for around a second. Best used if it's too dangerous to either go into melee range for Fever Drive, or to stay still for Burn The Sky.

[color=#FF8d2F]Firefly[/color] - Expends Heat per second to give Vizera unrestricted flight. If she runs out of Heat during the duration, the wings immediately die, leaving her fairly vulnerable to fall damage if she's not paying close attention to her Heat.
