Here's my currently kind of incomplete character sheet. It doesn't have a picture yet, and I'm admittedly pretty iffy on the abilities, so I might end up changing those. Sorry if there's any major flaws.
Edit 3: Well, big revamps have found their way to this. New stuff's visible in bold, just in case you guys have already read it - I wouldn't want to make you lot have to read through the entire form a second time, just for a few changes. Most sections have at least something new, though the section that really got a revamp was Aether Abilities.
(Admittedly I'm not great at this whole 'image finding' thing. The picture's not entirely what I imagined my character like, but I like it. Absolutely groovy.)

Motivation: Eliza, as a lover of things from the past, wants to discover all she can about the world's history - along with making a name for herself.
Personality: Eliza can be summarized as a fun-loving tomboy who'd pursue her goals to the end of time, though she tends to doubt herself - even if she does come off as a little careless.
A young lady with almost insatiable curiosity - at least, regarding the world and its history. Eliza takes an interest in ancient objects like relics and talismans, and enjoys analyzing what purpose they may have had in the past. This interest in the past stems from her family's influence, who are historians themselves. Thanks to this, Eliza has a deep respect for her parents. However, with this in mind, she also feels as if she has high standards to live up to, and while she'd like to say she's definitely capable of it - beneath the surface, doubt regarding this lingers...
Another thing Eliza particularly enjoys are thrills, as she's a bit of an adrenaline junkie. Heading out into danger is an exhilarating experience for her that well and truly gets the blood pumping, for better - or for worse. However, she's not willing to just throw herself into certain death, as she knows better than that... Similarly, she also enjoys trying out new things around the world, and rarely dismisses something as pointless... unless she's tried it already.
To other people, Eliza comes off as excitable and jovial, especially around those she considers friends. However, she has trouble making criticisms of anyone she's acquainted with - as she doesn't want to offend them. She's the type of person to put others over herself, as she desperately wants them to like her. However, to people she doesn't particularly get along with - or sees as a threat, she becomes stand-offish and snappy, her words having far more of a venom to them.
Eliza's main flaw relates to Pride. She believes she's great at what she does, and believes that she can do anything... so, failing to do something hits her hard. It may take her a while to regain her groove after such a happening. Another weakness of Eliza's is that she's not particularly intelligent, outside of history and has trouble explaining things... outside of history, of course. She's rather self-conscious about her intellect and hates being wrong - which can often irritate her. Essentially, she believes she knows more than she actually does.
Along with that, Eliza's primary fear is that of being forgotten, whether that be short-term - such as being left out of something, or long-term. Working with ancient things from several hundreds of years back in the past made her realize just how easily something can be forgotten... and so, she wants her name, and the Rebargo family name to live on as long as they possibly can... as those who located the ancient city of Gaea.
History:
Eliza was born in the Sea of Stars, into a family of historians and divers - who sought to unveil whatever secrets the seas of Aluth held... whether that history be above the waters, or within the deep blue below. Yet, the one mystery that nagged away at them was the lost city Gaea... though, despite all the effort they placed into locating this ancient civilization, they never found the city. But a flame still burns for the Rebargo family's goal to locate Gaea... and that flame is Eliza Rebargo, a self-professed Seeker of Gaia.
Eliza is the oldest daughter of three siblings, herself included - whose early life was positively filled with reading tales of adventurers who headed off, exploring the lands and uncovering all manner of things lost to time. Following in the footsteps of her parents, Eliza aspired to become a Diver - her ultimate goal to do what the rest of her family couldn't, and that was to find the lost city of Gaea. No matter what anybody said, Eliza was set on her path. From the age of twelve, she began to train herself in various skills, for when she became a Diver. She would often practice swimming out in the Sea of Stars - and would often practice using various weapons on practice dummies. She particularly enjoyed utilizing a shield - blocking attacks from the enemy would prove useful in combat.
Eliza was capable of utilizing Aether, though her capabilities are average at best - however, even still, she enrolled into the Aetherium, in hopes of becoming able to utilize Aether proficiently. While she wasn't the best student by any means - prone to tuning out when bored, particularly in lectures... but eventually, she managed to control Aether at an adequate level. And from there, only one more step remained... actually becoming a Diver. By now, Eliza was twenty years old, and she felt she was definitely capable of becoming a diver, thanks to all her training. So, she waved farewell to her parents, promising them that she'd definitely become a Diver - and that she'd 'find Gaea, no sweat!' When she arrived at the Sea of Ancients, Eliza headed to the Diver's Guild almost immediately - and signed herself up just as fast, and found that she had what it took.
Being a Diver proved to be quite fun for Eliza... and not only that, but it felt like finding Gaea was closer than it ever had been before, though she was still a rookie diver. From there, Eliza began to take up more and more Diver missions, though two years later - she chose to head to the Southern Seas, for a little time off - and to search for any artifacts that may have gone unfound.
Gear: Currently, Eliza is equipped with a wooden sword - and a metal shield, both of which are key to using her Aether abilities. Eliza thinks they'll do. Along with that, she carries around a necklace with a single, rusted coin attached to it. The origins of the coin are unknown, though Eliza seeks to solve the mystery behind it.
Other: In terms of combat, Eliza's style is more or less to draw an enemy's attention and block their attacks with her shield. Like, I guess you could call her a tank...? Maybe? She's more effective with physical attacks than Aether, at the very least.
She's reliant on having metallic weaponry equipped, if she wants to utilize her abilities.

Aether Abilities:
Magnetization: An Aether ability making use of electromagnetic fields. Eliza enchants her shield to have the properties of an electromagnetic field - then enchants her blade with electricity. Upon hitting a target, they will become magnetized, being drawn to the shield at a slow pace. Utilizing this ability allows Eliza to take an enemy's attention - however, it does use her aether quickly, so she must use it sparingly.
Energy Pulse: By slashing her blade against the ground, Eliza can send a small spark of electricity forwards. This spark travels on the ground, and has a low range - roughly six metres. It's not very potent, but it allows her to do at least some damage from range.

"I'll become a Diver, hell or high water. Then, I'll finally find Gaea!"

From there, Eliza began to take up more and more Diver missions, though two years later - she chose to head to the Southern Seas, for a little time off - and to search for any artifacts that may have gone unfound.
"Eliza... I've heard that you've been trying to become a diver." A tall, bespectacled orange-haired man spoke with a clear voice. "However, please... do not feel as if you are forced to become a diver. Remember - this is your life. It's not anyone else's to steer however they choose."
With a shake of her head, Eliza quickly refuted the man's words. "Dad...! I don't feel forced to become a diver at all. It's all a hundred percent of my own will, and nothing less!" Eliza responded. "I've wanted to be a diver since I was a kid, and I didn't - and won't - let anything stop me. Those're the facts, dad."
Adjusting his glasses, Eliza's father, known as Lepon chuckled. "Why, it's good to see that you're so passionate regarding diving... even through all these years. If the years weren't catching up with me, I'd still be scouring the seas, for-"
"Gaia!" Eliza finished her father's sentence enthusiastically. "The ancient capital of mankind, now lost underneath the waves of Aruth!" The very thought of the city enthralled Eliza. A presumably prosperous city from the past, now fallen to the sands - or rather, seas of time.
Once more, Lepon chuckled, then nodded proudly. "I've taught you well, I see." He pointed his finger, and waggled it back and forth. This was one of the characteristics of Eliza's father.
"Well, yeah! You guys - I mean, you and Mum did a great job raising me and all. Without you two, I don't think I'd have realized how cool the world's history is. It kinda... speaks to me, I guess you could say?" Eliza tried to explain. "Anyways... there's just something really fascinating about things left from older times, right Dad?"
"You know fully well what my answer to that question is, Eliza. I don't think I need to answer it, but," Her father added with a kindly smile smile. "You're completely correct. Even things that others might dismiss as minor are major to us. For instance - this coin, from a civilization long gone. Some may pass it off as junk, yet to me? It's nothing short of an artifact." Lepon reached into his pockets gently, and before long, his hand resurfaced, now with a coin that well and truly seemed ancient. Any sign of a shine was long gone. Lepon handed this to Eliza, whose eyes searched the coin like a hawk. Foreign patterns marked the coin, and it was rather rusted, to say the least... but that was to be expected of a coin in the sea.
"I could be wrong, but... I've never seen a coin like this! Is it from an ancient civilization... Maybe it's from Gaea?!" Her tone was one of excitement as she uttered this, still eying the coin for any hints to its origin. It was well and truly unlike any coin she'd ever seen.
"We never found that out." Lepon explained. "It's certainly a possibility that it came from Gaea, though. It's unlike any other coin, in terms of patterns that I've ever seen. I did some background research, too, and it doesn't seem to have been created by any of the Seas, either... so, I am almost certain that it is a relic from the old world."
"I wonder what that old world was like. I bet it wasn't as watery, for one. But really... what was it like? What was Gaea like?" Eliza spoke. "It's almost incredible to think that however many years of history the old world had, it was all wiped out by the mother sea... yet some of it still remains, deep in the depths of the ocean. It really makes me want to find everything I can from those times, and figure out everything I can about them."
"Eliza,' Lepon addressed abruptly. "I want you to keep that coin."
"Huh?"
Lepon's kindly smile returned, as he met Eliza's eyes. "Consider it a good luck charm... I sure did, back in my diving years. It's only fitting that the next diver of the Rebargo family carries it with them, too. But, if I let you keep that coin, I want you to make a promise. I want you to solve the mystery behind that coin - I want you to discover what I couldn't, as a Diver. So, do you accept?"
"Y-you want me to do what you couldn't...?" Eliza questioned. "That sounds... kinda impossible, if you couldn't manage it, dad..."
"No-"
"Shut it, dad! I'm still talking! Geez." Eliza retorted with a sly grin. "Sure, it might seem impossible, but I know that there's a chance, no matter how small it is, that I could discover both the truth behind this coin... and Gaea!"
Lepon nodded, then hugged his daughter. "Eliza... I'm so proud of you. Now get out there, and show the world who's boss! Leave no mystery undiscovered!"
"To leave a mystery unsolved is a true crime... and I'm no criminal!" Eliza uttered with a serious, determined tone... before cracking up into laughter. "That... sounded lame, didn't it, dad?"
"It did... but it certainly had some charm to it..."
With a shake of her head, Eliza quickly refuted the man's words. "Dad...! I don't feel forced to become a diver at all. It's all a hundred percent of my own will, and nothing less!" Eliza responded. "I've wanted to be a diver since I was a kid, and I didn't - and won't - let anything stop me. Those're the facts, dad."
