I've just realized that in all the 9 years I've been part of this site, I've never had to change my name, make an alt account or anything like that!

"Humanity takes great pride in three things. Their willpower, their greed and their mortality.
Their will and endless greed allows them to grow and ascend past other creatures But their mortality denies them divinity
It's a delightful purgatory between being Fallen and being Divine"
Just wanted to post it here so you guys could see it too. :-)
Name:
Amaris Mallory
Age:
18
Gender:
Female
Race:
Huma
Appearance:
With a petite, fragile and delicate body together with both a hair and a skin as white as the freshly fallen snow, Amaris could certainly be described by having a doll like or an ethereal beauty. Delicate, fragile, pure and untouchable... Only if it wasn't for her eyes. Not blue, nor golden nor even brown eyes like the vast majority of the Humas, Amaris' eyes are as black as the night itself.
Her unusual appearance, coupled with the gothic lolita style dresses she often enjoys using give her a very striking and hard to ignore presence. Not always for the best as it seems to attract the wrong type of attention from those who believe in the holy church.
Unlike some students who were able to enter the Kurtzpel University due to money, importance, prestige or connections, the only reason for Amaris to being able to enroll in such university was her brilliant mind. Unlike some students who needed to work hard to merely have a chance to attend Kurtzpel University, Amaris could be considered a natural genius. Brilliant, but difficult to deal with.
Being the sole daughter of a family of relatively minor importance in the world, while she definitely was far away from being poor, she was also nowhere nearby of having the same amount of money and power the families from the other students had. Due to this same reason, she was seen by her parents not as their child, but as a chance for their family to be relevant in the world. A 'ticket' to fame. As such, Amaris was raised with an incredible pressure on her shoulders. Anything other than excelence and perfection were inadmissible for her. All those factors coupled with her already gloomy personality made Amaris a girl that had no motivation for anything.
For Amaris, her life was dull. Nothing really interested her. Studies were too easy for her, dealing with money, politics and other people was something that she didn't understand and didn't want to understand. Other than the few distractions she had such as books, games and the dresses she liked to wear for herself (it's not like she would go to any parties wearing them or anything), nothing really had a reason for her.
As such, on the day of her death, Amaris felt nothing. The pain was certainly there, but after trying to move a few times, she realized that if she stood still, it would eventually go away. She knew she was dying and yet, she didn't even had enough motivation to try and save her own life. As the bus crashed into the 18-wheeler, she could only stay there and feel the last of her strenghts leaving her body as she observed the bodies of the other students. Some had their head splattered against the window, killing them instantly, others still screamed, agonizing in pain as Amaris simply stood still, her delicate and small body pierced by glass shards and a huge metal pipe going through her stomach. The gruesome sight meant nothing to her, in fact, it even had a certain... beauty to it, almost like the dark fantasy books she often liked to read. Just a bit more... gorey and real...
Legend: The Witch of the Dark Thorns
For some, a cursed soul, forgotten by the goddess, a heretic that meddles with the forces of darknes and evil... a witch that deserves to be purged. For others, a sad, alone and misunderstood soul abandoned by all, even the goddess due to its ancestral, terrifying and forgotten powers, posessing nothing but magic and knowledge, a poor young girl that needs to be saved.
Many legends exist about the Witch of the Dark Thorns. Their origin, always as uncertain as the contents of the legend itself. Some say that the Witch was an unlikely and one of the strongest allies of the heroes of the light, others say that she fell completely for the darkness inside her own heart and became a terrible threat for them and yet, some others say that she never took a side on the conflict, isolating herself, taking her knowledge and powers with her to never being seen again.
Notable Items:
Sta 2
Str 1
Dex 2
Int 20
Fai 0
Physical Abilities:
Small Body - Having a small and delicate body means she is useless in a physical fight, but it also brings some advantages. Amaris is able to pass through tight places where others wouldn't.
Writing and Painting - Studies about macic, leylines, grimoires, scrolls and sometimes... the landscape. Since Amaris has no one to do those things to her, she became quite proficient at them.
Quick Thinking - Amaris has a delicate and fragile body. She is by no means a fighter. But in the other hand, she developed quite the fast reaction speed and the ability to stay calm and think about a multitude of things at the same time.
Magical Abilities:
The Shadow Grove Amaris uses her power to transform the area into the Shadow Grove temporarily. The size of the conjured Shadow Grove depends on the user's intellect. The Shadow Grove is a dark, dense and ancient forest replete with ancestral, wild shadow magic. Every branch, leave and root has thousands of thorns. Inside this area, the air is thick with wild, ancestral magic, making other types of magic less powerful and more difficult to cast. Amaris has many benefits when casting her own spells inside the Shadow Grove and even moving herself inside it as she is unnaffected by all the thorns and plants, being able to completely ignore and 'phase through' them. It also seems to cause hallucinations, making those inside it hear and see things, which are always terrifying.
Dark ThornsUser can control Shadow Thorns that erupt from the ground. These shadow thorns are incredibly resistant to most types of magic and cannot be cut with blades but they are vulnerable to fire. Shadow thorns erupt from the ground to bind and constrict an enemy, tearing their flesh apart slowly as they do so, causing an agonizing pain and bleeding. It can be also used as a 'spear' of sorts, piercing through an opponent instead of ensnaring it. It can also be used to create a dense wall of thorns to either protect Amaris or block her enemies.
Dark Faeries Amaris conjures small shadow fairies. They listen to her orders and she can use them as her own eyes and ears. The number of Shadow Sprites that can be controlled at the same time varies according to the user's intelligence. The number of Dark Faeries conjured increase if Amaris is inside the Shadow Grove. She can also send them on a frenzy to attack her enemies. Albeit small, these Dark Faeries have razor sharp wings that they use to inflict thousands of small cuts on their enemies. Faeries are mischievous and cruel beings if provoked and they will not hesitate in using the most cruel tactics to get rid of its enemies.
Dark Faerie Queen's Blessing The user has the favor of the Dark Fae Queen, having an unique bond with dark faeries and being loved by them. The Dark Fae Queen is a whimsical and mischievous being though and the concepts of 'good' or 'evil' does not apply to her. She can either help the chosen one, make the chosen one pass through tests or even play tricks just for her amusement. As an side effect of said blessing, the user enjoys the protection of the Dark Faerie Queen, meaning that as long as the user is surrounded by shadows, they become essentially invisible, melding themselves with the shadows.
Ancestral Blood The user is intimately connected to dark ancestral magic which has been forgotten by the ages. Due to not existing any masters of said magic other than the Dark Faeries themselves, the user will have to discover them by himself (maybe with some help by the dark faeries or their queen), being able to use ancestral curses, curse magic and Fae Fire if they're able to master it.
They’ll realize their race and appearance changes when they look at their hands and the others who are summoned. Their abilities they will not be aware of, it’ll be something they’ll have to learn about organically.
Working on my CS. just finishing the magic skills part.
Regarding what you said, characters with heightened physical abilities will have them ready from the get-go, right? (at least the basic ones)
Sorry about the delay guys, finally started working on my CS. I was going to use the stalker concept but since we already have a magic using, rogue-like character I didn't want to make another one with a similar theme XD
Still uncertain about what to use, but currently making a full caster character. Physically weak (quite literally worthless with a blade or any type of weapon on its hands) , incredibly strong magic abilities.
