@ERode I hope this character fits in your universe ^^
the bio may or may not be incredible long ;P (i kinda went overboard cause this world sounds so cool)

Phoebe Norah

Name:

Phoebe Norah

Age:

19

Gender:

Female

Race:

Human

Nation:

Astopol

Appearance:

Phoebe is of average height, standing at 5'4 or 1,65 metres.
She has dark red hair which ends on her shoulders, her face is very feminine and she doesn’t look very muscular at all.
Her eyes are the color grey with a turquoise tint and her skin is somewhat pale.
She always manages to have a red nose and cheeks no matter how cold or embarrassed she is.
Her attire is almost always the same, a white skirt which goes half way down her legs under which she wears black panties.
Long black boots cover her feet while her upper body is covered by a black corset which is loosely tied.
A long red scarf always sits around her neck to hide a white shirt which covers the rest of her body including arms.
Nothing else stands out from her except for the dual dagger hilts at both sides of her hips.

Personality:

Phoebe is a hot-headed girl who thinks with her heart.
She takes pride in her Sword Arts and doesn’t skip an opportunity to brag about it.
She tends to judge people at first sight and is very stubborn in her ways.
Teasing people is more usual to her than a simple greeting and she always has something to say.
Despite being more obnoxious then a non-stop crying baby, she is compassionate and caring.
Her attitude is always bright and uplifting, only the direst of situations could bring her spirit down.
It is in her nature to help people around her, even though she acts lazy most of the time.
If an innocent person was in danger, she would not hesitate to jump in action, even if it would hurt her.
This is not to mistake her lack of fear for death; in fact she is terrified of it.
But that is precisely why she tries to save as many people as she can, to save them from that fate.
She also doesn’t know how to swim, which gives her an automatic fear of large bodies of water.

Biography:

• Phoebe is born.
• father is KIA and Mother commits suicide.
• rift-beasts attack orphanage, killing most of its inhabitants.
• Phoebe is raised by a knight.
• Phoebe's new home gets destroyed again by rift-beasts, knight dies.
• Phoebe enlists in the army.
• Phoebe's current guard post gets attacked by rift-beasts, phoebe's magical abilities awaken.
• Phoebe is promoted.
• Phoebe gains two talentium daggers.
• Phoebe joins rift-beast hit squad

Abilities:

Phoebe has the power to imbue her daggers with ice, hardening them and allowing them to freeze its victims.
She can also freeze most things upon physical contact.
Furthermore, she has an insane heat and cold resistance.
That is what it looks like at least.
Phoebe’s real talent is to completely control air pressure and waves in a small field around her.
The ice is just a side effect of her completely getting rid of air friction which causes a rapid decrease in temperature.
This means that she can accelerate air friction as well, which effectively creates fire out of thin air, which is less straining than magically creating fire.
It could also be used to completely rip someone apart by bombarding them with extremely fast air waves although the field in which she can use it is minimal, no bigger than a basketball.
Combined with simple ice and fire magic, this technique is quite effective against most foes.
As sound waves are also a form of air friction, she can create a field around her, completely masking any sound she creates, as well as create visible distortions like you see above intense heat sources.
She can also create noises and sonic booms through those air waves.
All of the above is amplified by her Talentium infused daggers.
All of her magic has a vermillion color to it.

Important Items:

Phoebe has two daggers called Azure and Vale.
She wears a red scarf very often.

Appearance of daggers.

[Lemons]

Dude. I want in on this so much. Still open?

[ERode]

@TheFake
If it's just emotions from some crotchey old bastard, it should be fine then.

@addamas
Heading off to work, so I'll look at it later. As for a biography that went overboard...

Put in five or less life-influencing events. Point-form.

That wasn't a suggestion.

@Lemons
No one has been accepted yet, so it's fairly open.

[addamas]

@ERode oops, i'll skim it down then ^^

Edit: aand done

[Polaris North]

@ERode

Hope [she] he is good.
And revised.

Alexis Weylin

"Would you like a knife at your throat or my fingers in your eyes? Oh, and would you like those with a side of lightning?"

---

Name: Alexis "Alex" Weylin

Age: 19

Gender: Female - refers to herself as a male

Race: Human

Nation: Illiserev

Appearance: Alexis stands at a height of 5'8", while not a truly impressive height, it is around average for her age and sex. Growing up taught to be a male, she has cut her dark hair to a length suitable for a male's. She also has warm amber eyes which seems to gleam with a certain mischievousness at times. Her face would always hold a poker face, often emotionless whenever she isn't engaged in any form of direct conversation with anyone. Though when someone talks to her, a warm smile would appear on her face which is both comforting and soothing. As if her destiny was to become male, she was graced with only a flat chest. She has a slender frame that are all hardened through training so her appearance is very deceiving.

Practically the only thing in her wardrobe is a butler outfit - a black, pocketed, long tail-coated vest, a grey vest in it and a collared shirt underneath that. A black tie would be present around her neck. She also wears black slacks and black formal shoes. To complete the look, she wears white dress gloves. Inside her vest's pocket is a silver pocket watch where the Alurenzo's family symbol is embedded into it and a small chain is connected to it.

Personality: Alexis looks like she has a very stoic personality. With the blank look on her face when not spoken to, that would usually lead people to think that way. However, she is actually a friendly person who would talk if talked to. Because of her training, she can't make much offhanded comments when listening in to a conversation, especially one between nobles. She just has to stay silent, listen but never speak it to anyone else, there but not making it known - such was her life so it seemed like it would be normal for her to be like that. She is a responsible person though and she steps up to prepare everything to make whatever it is to the liking of her masters. She makes mental notes on what people like and dislike so that she knows how to act or make for them when they need it.

She learned from a young age to keep her emotions locked up tight... which does lead to problems like her not willing to admit if she's hurt or something. She keeps her problems to herself and expect herself to be able to solve it without anyone's help. No use having someone else worry about you right? She also puts others before herself meaning that even if she was heavily injured, she'd put up a smile and then direct the healer or doctor to another injured person. While this may seem like a selfless act, and it is, it can lead to her demise. For her, her life isn't worth anything. She lives for others.

She has a case of motion sickness where when she's not the one driving, she becomes sick for the entirety of the ride. This is the reason why she drives the coaches when she's around, so that she will remain alert at all times. She is actually pretty scared of thunder but she loves lightning. Poor girl doesn't know whether to be scared or happy in a thunderstorm.

Biography:

• Born female, much to the dismay of her family, they decided to teach her to become a male. She didn't seem to mind.
• At the young age of six, she was trained to become a butler and had been placed under rigorous training as per team norm for males with magical powers. Alexis had to train extra hard to make the standards and not get suspected as a girl. Luckily, she managed to fit in quite well though is at the bottom of the barrel for the current generation.
• Taken in by the Alurenzo family at the age of 13 and never suspected her of being female. Ordered to become the personal guard of the youngest girl Zue who was at the same age as her. She was taken in because of her ability to manipulate the elements (which they thought was unique and a good catch, not knowing that Alex was a girl). She still continues training and were given particular days of the week away from the family to finish the training.
• At the age of 14, her gender was accidentally revealed to Zue and she was sworn to secrecy. They grew closer ever since but had been warned about what their relationship can be - much to their amusement.
• At the age of 17, she was tested for her compatibility for Talentium. They were pleasantly surprised to find out that she was compatible and her training was complete. She obtained the Talentium which is in the form of a necklace and one Talentium knife.

---

Abilities:

• Close Quarter Combat - Being trained as a butler in the land of Illiserev, it is understandable that she is an expert in this art. Though she is most often seen without a weapon, she would sometimes take out a knife or two that she would usually imbue with magic.
• Long ranged disarming - This is a must need for the butlers. She is armed with multiple throwing knives hidden within her person, which she uses to disarm a long ranged attacker when she cannot close the distance quick enough. These must be precise but can be avoided as throwing a knife isn't very fast.
• Lightning Element - This is her chosen element. It's destructive capabilities was perfect for her. This, added with the Talentium, has become quite dangerous to enemies of hers. She usually uses it in tandem with her close quarter combat but she is able to use it for long-ranged attacks if she's aiming for damaging an opponent severely rather than simply disarming them.

Sword Arts:

• Lightning Torment - The space around her would start to cackle with lightning and she would summon two large bolts of lightning and sends it towards the enemy. This is then followed up by an enchantment to her speed which she then uses to close the distance and deliver a fatal blow with her knife/knives.
• Five Pillars of Light [used as a trap] - She would set up runes around the enemy. Once everything was in position, she would activate these runes and the pillars would close in one the person/s in the middle of the trap. These take time before it is complete so long term planning is needed so she rarely uses it.
• Alazur's Might - Named after one of the male Lightning prodigies, the technique works like this. The user would surround themselves in lightning and practically becomes lightning as well, allowing the user to travel at the speed of lightning, though considerably slower but still faster than any human on this planet, towards the enemy. Once the user in lightning form makes contact with the enemy (or any solid object), it will be covered with lightning and the momentum would be dispersed throughout the enemy and the user would turn back into a human to deliver a few more blows. This is usually offensive but has been used for a quick escape. Given how straining it is to convert one's body into an element and then revert it back to its original form is, a user can only use this a number of times before passing out. Alexis can use this around two to three times a day with long gaps of time in between.
• Ten Hits - A simple unarmed combo that starts with a blow to the solar plexus that would render the enemy incapacitated for the moment and, if this hits, is followed by a series of punches and kicks and ends with a final blow by kneeing the enemy. While it is simple, it is effective in most close combat situations. Alexis adds the lightning element to it.

---

Important Items: Silver pocketwatch, a tight bracelet gifted to her by Zue

Note: To avoid confusion, I will be using male pronouns for her in the IC.

History subject to change if anyone wants to be the master. If not, then I'll keep it that way.

[Asuras]

Ambroise Formaza

[ 28 | ♀ ]
[ Human | Astopolian ]

A woman of tall stature, her piercing, clear eyes hide beneath them a soft-hearted soul. As an Astopolian citizen coming from a place of aristocracy and wealth, her appearance is naturally clean and pristine. Donning regal colors of red, blue and gold, she appears as if a powerful individual, despite being the mere leftovers of a would-be war hero. Ambroise carries herself with dignity and a sense of importance; if only as practice for the day she truly deserves it. Despite her tendency towards magic, Ambroise possesses a strikingly powerful build for such a character, following in the ways of her father.

"The most terrifying mage is one who, once devoid of defenses and allies, duels the threat with nary a twitch of fear or a drop of sweat."

Personality:
Last remainder of her late siblings after the War, Ambroise's sole purpose is to ensure the continuation of her family's notoriety and honor. Though she is kind almost to a fault, she follows guidelines without question; though the death of an 'innocent' Talze Uteran by her hands tears at her soul, she ultimately follows through. While her peers can see this conflict clearly in her expressions they too, ultimately, understand her devotion to a cause.

Underneath her warm exterior lies a hardened spirit that pushes through most any conflicts. She is not one to ask for help when it comes to emotions or troubles, preferring rather to 'bottle them up' or simply push past them. She does not buckle under pressure, nor give up when exhausted. Of course, she is not invincible, and so she often harms herself in the process, either by forgoing sleep or pause.

In essence, she is a woman who, despite having clear wishes and desires, chooses to follow tradition and work for others rather than herself.

Biography:

• Ambroise is born 13 years before the War begins. Youngest of 6, her father decides to be her future tutor.
• As the War begins and Astopol becomes involved, her elder siblings are sent into battle. Too young, she remains home.
• As her siblings begin perishing to the Jeulian Empire's might, her mother and father prepare for the worst, turning Ambroise's life towards that of a marriage tool. Her training in magic ceases temporarily.
• As her last sibling falls to a Rift Beast, Ambroise's parents realize they need a doubly-important child; one who can carry on their warrior legacy, and the bloodline itself. The household becomes strict and her training two-fold.
• The War concludes, and Ambroise is forced to find other means to further train herself in the field.

Abilities:
Ambroise Formaza's focus is on that of 'Grand Casting'; the use of time and channeling to produce spell effects not merely destructive in nature, but absolutely devastating. Though the presence of her Talentium sword offers her considerably faster casts, considering her natural spell casting speed is already exceptional, the use of channeled magic nevertheless means the spells take some time to cast and are that much more powerful.

It is for this reason, however, that even her basic quick spells are of particularly notable potency. A spell that normally takes longer for even a Talentium-user to cast for its power is a 'normal' spell for Ambroise, flung in the mere blink of an eye. Still, she prefers to deal in absolutes. The 'absolute' here being that the enemy will absolutely die.

With a long-channel spell, Ambroise can unleash a level of destruction within a confined, almost pressurized area with incredible effect. The spells are not merely limited to destruction, however, as Ambroise can also unleash defensive casts of similar strength. In the same vein, Ambroise is exceptional at creating defensive fields whilst she channels her spells, affording her a level of protection that aids in delaying attacks from any enemy.

Though she focuses upon magecraft of the artillery-esque nature, Ambroise is hardly a pushover when it comes to swordplay.

Knight's Court Judgement || Ambroise's main offensive spell, channeled up to thirty seconds. The massive light-element bolt deals exceptional damage to any target stricken. Ambroise can force the spell to imbue its energy into the target rather than as an area blast, confining the destruction to the affected object or person rather than the environment.

Request of Angels || Usable (effectively) only where the sky is visible, this spell summons upon the field a flurry of arcane bolts from on high. Able to be made more random in targeting, Ambroise can saturate an area with the effect to counter more nimble opponents. The effect, whilst far less powerful than Knight's Court Judgement, can be maintained so long as Ambroise is channeling.

Steel Skies Breath || An enchanting spell, Ambroise can channel light elemental energy into either her, or another's blade. The length of the channel determines the potency contained within the blade, which is diminished as the enchanted weapon strikes material objects.

Timeless Heavens || An area slowing spell. By channeling this spell, Ambroise can encapsulate a large area in a slowing field, maintained so long as she channels. Should the field be removed before any occupants come to a halt, their original speed is returned to normal, along with any momentum they possessed. If used in an area that also includes herself, she is affected as well. This is a defensive spell that Ambroise cannot maintain while using other spells; full attention and focus is required to use it.

Hallowed Courts || An environmental enchantment spell, Hallowed Courts creates an area around Ambroise that seeks to deflect incoming attacks or attack invaders. Ranged attacks are stricken out of midair by ethereal swords, while enemies within the area are assailed by a flurry of nigh-invisible slashes and thrusts. Though it requires a light channeling, Ambroise can maintain this spell whilst activating others, albeit with the latter being necessarily slower.

Souls of the Fortress || A barrier spell that creates multiple layers with a longer channel. Barriers that experience overwhelming force will 'retreat' into those barriers behind it, bolstering the next layer to be more durable than the last. These barriers will remain standing even after the channel has finished.

Important Items:
Ambroise's talentium longsword, "Remembrance", named so in honor of her siblings.
She also carries with her a stitched cloth containing the names of her five brothers and sisters, worn as a mark at her waist.

Anyway I want to see if I can do a non-human character. Where do you want to discuss this.

[TheFake]

Natala Chained ⛓

• Name: Natala Chained
• Age: 21
• Gender: Female
• Race: Possessed Human
• Nation: Iliserev
• Appearance:
  
  She has a face that looks slightly younger than her age which is surprising given the hardships of her past. The top of her right ear has been clipped off to mark her as a slave and the left side of her face has been tattooed with a pattern of crisscrossed chains to mark her as an escapee. Natala is shorter than average thanks to the meager amounts of food she was supplied with as a child.
• Personality: Quiet but arrogant and selfish. She had so little of her own in her past that anything that is now hers is guarded and precious. Natala feels uneasy in rooms with closed door and very much prefers that doors with locks remain open. Windowless rooms are the worst. The only thing that she is aggressive towards is the protection of herself and her freedom, something that she will easilly kill for.
• Biography:
  • Natala was born and raised as a slave. She had never known her parents or any other family and even her name is something she has since chosen for herself. If things had gone as they should she would have died a slave. When she was 14 she escaped captivity. It was only 2 days before she was recaptured.
  • When she was 16 she tried again, wiser and more determined, and fled into the glaciers of Iliserev in the dead of winter. She was pursued but tracking her was difficult across the windswept ice and snow. After three days she ran out of food. It was almost two weeks later when she came upon the thing.
  • It was huge, barely human and speared through by stakes of iron, ice and stone. The armour that it once wore had long since turned to a rusted shell but regardless of the time passed the flesh beneath looked fresh, almost as if it were still alive. Fresh enough to look like food to a girl driven mad by hunger and exhaustion.
  • It was... invigorating and she felt hope for the first time since her initial escape attempt. She had the energy to make it to a major city, steal some money and blend in. After some days she began to feel odd feelings that she knew were not her own. That belonged to something inside her.
  • In the time since she has been wandering the world and simply living. The thing inside her is a more comforting prescience and they have come to a bit of an understanding.
• Abilities:
  Mundane:
  • Sword skill: Natala is modestly proficient with a blade, enough to defend herself and be more than a match for any random thug.
  • Master of mimicry: She can pick up things easilly through observation, learning even advanced skills by watching them a couple of times. Because this is mere mimicry she might not understand the underlying theory behind things.
  
  Magical:
  • Wind Form: In dire circumstances she becomes the wind, untouchable. This is draining and consumes an amount of stamina. It is the act of changing that consumes stamina though she can only rest in her physical form. Her body can currently sustain a half dozen transformations in a day. It can be prevented by her being restrained by a foreign object, something she doesn't consider her own.
  • Cutting Wind: When she is in the direst of circumstances and has given up all hope the Thing takes over. Natala becomes a paragon of rage and aggression, shifting rapidly between being solid and ethereal. The skill she shows with a blade in this state is not her own. This lasts until the threat is dealt with or she is restrained.
• Important Items: Natala owns little but the clothes on her back and her sword, a Talentium blade that she has for no other reason than its durability. She is reluctant to own more as she is only just used to the idea that she owns herself.
• Notes on her Possessor: Whatever now shares her body with her once possessed command of the abilities she now has before it was restrained some thousands of years ago by an unknown force. It can only communicate through vague feelings and has no command of language. The first feeling that it sent was one of glee. It had traded an eternity locked to a hillside for the chance to live a humans short but infinitely more interesting life.

[Marshall]

Well I'm interested and working on a male character so that should be interesting. One question though, Guns? @erode

[ERode]

@Jerkchicken
Just discuss here or PMs.

@Marshall
Literally had an applicant that had a gun spamming Reaper wannabe.

[Marshall]

@eRode I was thinking Brotherhood of Steel or just generally heavy armor with a big gun.

[Polaris North]

All these females.

All them potential waifus

Too bad my character's... uh... asexual (?)

[Jerkchicken]

I was thinking of having magic dog as a character. He does Naruto style "Ninjitsu" aka flashy magic and kung-fu.

Also was wondering how would you classify a bard type character since they can into some form of magic and fighting
