The Ardent Progeny - A Shadowhunters RP (Pre-Game Sign-Ups)

@BCTheEntity - Awesome! I shall make them black, then.

And I do apologize for my...limited understanding of the little things of the Shadowhunter lore. I am fairly new to the series, and my knowledge only includes of what I've read in wikia articles and from the TV Series. Even if spoilers are a given, I adore the setting too much, haha.

And okiedoke!

The Ardent Progeny - A Shadowhunters RP (Pre-Game Sign-Ups)

@BCTheEntity - I agree with you on all point. I will be revising Florence's sheet asap. But about the heels: it was my understanding that Isabella Lightwood wore heels while fighting as well. And as for the image itself, it's just that: an image. It's just a visual reference to Florence's appearance. Of course, she'll abide by the Shadowhunter fashion and wear black. Albeit, she'll still have to give it the "FLorence" touch. And I can do that about the heels.

I wasn't trying to make her seem "special" or "unique". I mean, I do try to give my characters something that would enrich a story. Perhaps I went a little overboard, though. I'll include that among my edits.

As noted above, I shall work in all that you asked of me into my edits.

The Ardent Progeny - A Shadowhunters RP (Pre-Game Sign-Ups)

@Nallore, @BCTheEntity, @JaceBeleren - at long last, here is my character. Happy reading! :)

Florence Annabelle Soverntera

₂₀ | _Female | _Shadowhunter

Florence is an exceptional beauty. Her porcelain skin flawless, clear and radiant, like Heaven’s Light. In it is the divinity of the Angels, yet in her sapphire-hued eyes, there is weakness, as well as a powerful essence of elegance. Her eyes demand that you look at her and respect who she is and where she comes from. Her full lips will give you exactly what you need to hear at the moment it calls for. Her raven hair will lure you like a fish to the worm, slowly baiting you until she captures you.

And as she has you in her sights, her lean figure will keep your attention. Her average height/weight matters not, for Florence more than makes up for it in how she dresses. When you lay your eyes upon her for the first time(or many times after that), you will see Florence in nothing but expensive fashion wear, usually dresses. If not, then definitely top-of-the-line blouses and long — or short — skirts. She is not one above dressing a bit provocative, but only if the situation demands it. But you can expect that florence will always wear candy apple red suede heels. Regardless of what she’s doing or what kind of outfit the situation demands, this is the one nonnegotiable thing when it comes to Florence.

One could say that Florence exhibits certain characteristics that could define her as having a “superiority complex”. Well, to that, she would say “you try being born witha prestigious name”.This isn’t to say that it’s intentional, but being raised the way that she was, there are certain quirks that have been fused into her mannerisms that show a slight lean to acting entitled. She does mean well, but there have been moments where Florence would scoff at someone simply for their position of power or the way they looked.

Florence is probably one of the most confident women you’ll ever meet. Able to emote this through her actions, when she tackles a project or finds herself having to call out someone on their errors, she will do it bluntly. It wouldn’t be so bluntly that it would undignify her of her elegance, but surely enough to get that she disapproves of certain actions that have been taken. When she’s not showing her confidence threw blunt dominance, Florence displays it in another way: her ability to command a room without speaking. This is partially due to her last name, but it is also due to how she doesn’t need to speak to have eyes gawking at her. Or, at least, that’s what she likes to think. Truthfully, she knows they talk about her, but she doesn’t let that affect her. Francis and Estelle had engraved it into her so many times that, while they may whisper amongst themselves about you, know that it’s when they stop that you should worry. Bask in the attention, and let it fuel you to higher ambitions.

And when the first moment came that she took notice to them talking about her, that was when Florence made a mental note that she would not give anyone the satisfaction that their whispers affected her. She, instead, carries herself as if they don’t matter. And should they try to bring it up to her personally, Florence would make it her mission to take them down. Either directly, or through multiple stages of the worst pain inflicted.

You simply do not cross a Soverntera.

Florence has trained extensively in all forms of martial arts that the Shadowhunters have made available. Daily body conditioning from when she could first walk(and knew how to properly tone her body) has built up her stamina moreso than the gift of her angelic blood provided. Her reflexes and strength are above the average Shadowhunter. Even so, where Florence really shines is her tactical skills and precision with her weapon of choice: two short swords just an inch shorter than the average short sword. While idle, she keeps them sheathed on both of her hips. The blades are like all Shadowhunter weapons: black sheath, white like the light of their Angelic father, Raziel.

Florence’s usage of her marks are only to ensure the maximum potency of her fighting style. Mainly, she utilizes the runes to enhance her dexterity and stamina, which is a must since she moves around a lot, hopping about like a rabbit. Her arms are deadly, and when two short swords are put into them, coupled with the Agility, Equilibrium, Flexibility, and Precision runes, her ability to strike without so much as a missed beat is enhanced immensely.

Of course, there are some side effects of going about this specific style of fighting. Even for someone gifted with angel blood, even for Florence, who is someone that holds herself above many, it exhausts her because she activates so many runes in one go. Due to this, she limits herself to short time periods. The most she allows herself to fight with so many runes active is three minutes. Assuming, of course, if there are multiple enemies in sight and not those who would provide different approach. For that, she relies on her comrades to aid her.

Whether it’s in the Downworlder Community, the Shadowhunters, or even the Mundanes, the name “Soverntera” is famous to all. To the Mundanes, they are prime real estate tycoons, coming from a long line of real estate agents, even dating back all the way the Middle Ages in France. Of course then, it was more elegant than in modern times.But to the rest, they are known as one of the oldest families with Shadowhunter ties.

And such a reputation would undoubtedly put enormous expectations on any member of that family, including the only heir to the Soverntera name, as well as fortune. This “heir”, is Florence Annabelle Sauveterre, born to Real Estate Moguls and Shadowhunter Royalty, Francis Vincente Soverntera and Estelle Anastasia de Sauveterre. Her birth was in Paris, France, with her date of birth being on the eve of the Winter Solstice. Whether it was the light from the full moon above the Paris Shadowhunter Institute or something else entirely, but those present could’ve sworn that Florence Annabelle was bathed in a shimmering light for the first five seconds after her birth. Any time after that, however, she was a normal, blue-eyed baby with little, black hairs sticking out of her smooth head.

Ever since that day, there have been whispers among those high in the Paris Institute hierarchy that Florence had a lot of potential. Because of that, when Florence was old enough to know what she was and aware of the world she lived in, her parents put her through a rigorous training regimens that not only built her up with knowledge dating back to the original Shadowhunters all the way up to the current, but they trained her every day even after she received her first rune.

It got to the point where all of the lessons and sparring became her new normal and it was imprinted into her framework so that she did it without even thinking: mornings spent doing some “light reading”, afternoons spent working on certain parts of her abilities(runes, weapons training, body conditioning), and evenings/nights were often spent sparring with whomever was available at the time. Usually, it was her younger sister, Vivian, who, while not at Florence’s level, had an admirable skillset that allowed Florence to flex her muscles when it came to fighting.

Roughly three months into the year of 2005, there arose a scandal surrounding the Soverntera family. Namely, it was around Florence’s parents. Apparently they had been secretly funding a group of Circle-sympathisers for some time now. No telling how long they had been doing, or if they were the first ones to do it, but when the Claive caught wind of it, both Francis and Estelle were charged with treason, and sent to the City of Bones to await their trial, a trial that has yet to begin even in the current year.

So, five years the formerly-esteemed head(and his wife) of the Soverntera family have been rotting away, all the while, Florence had to suffer for five years, bearing a cursed name - a name that no longer held prestige, only shame. She had to do it alone, but that didn’t wither away anything her parents drilled into her time and time again. Regardless of what they did or whether or not they were innocent or guilty, Florence refused to let their error in judgement fault her in any way. As far as she was concerned, she was the daughter of two amazing Shadowhunters. And, even if she had to do it by herself, she was going to find out what really happened. If there was anything that her parents always told her, it’s that there are always two sides of every story. Don’t come to conclusions without first covering all ends. There is always something that they aren’t telling you.

Personality

<sub>A lot of people seem to have this misconception about me. I am not overconfident. I am not cocky, because it’s not cockiness if you can back it up. And that’s what Asahi Han’ei has. Don’t you forget it!

Asahi does not have confidence — he is confidence. And he’s not exactly modest about it either. He knows exactly what he's doing, or at the very least, he believes wholeheartedly that what he does is the right thing. And speaking of the right thing, he always believes he’s right. There is no ‘ifs’, ‘ands’, or ‘buts’. In his obviously-deluded mind, Asahi is right. Everyone else can go suck it! You hear me, people of the world?! You are wrong! I’m right. And if you don’t agree, I’ll fight you in real life.

Okay, but real talk? Asahi has a serious problem when it comes to facing certain facts that he might be wrong. It’s been brought to his attention a few times that there is a possibilty tha he’s wrong. Shocker, we know! Who knew that someone who offers his magic for the price of one cent less-than ten dollars can be wrong about things? Well, he never did. Even still, it takes a lot for him to admit he’s wrong, mainly because he refuses to admit it unless someone forces him into a difficult position(i.e. he physically forced into submission or something).

What else is there left to say? Asahi is a ray of sunshine that will burn you if you stay too long in his presence. He will for sure annoy the crap out of you, so either tolerate him or make him shut up because he will never stop going on and on about how awesome he is.</sub>

| History: |

Asahi has a modest upbringing. He grew up in a rather modest village, Taiyoko Village, that was located on one of the smaller islands of Pandora. They weren’t a large village, but they were proud. And did they ever enjoy the life of a boaster. There wasn’t a moment that they would be celebrating something. Be it Hade’s(pronounced Hah-day) latest client request from the village’s mage board. Or if it was having a bountiful harvest, there was always something to celebrate. And they were loud. Like, think obnoxious levels. Every single one of them had the tendency to shout at the top of their lungs. They weren’t without confidence, either.

And that went double for Asahi.

Born of the two that were in charge of the village, one could say he was being set up to lead the village. He even seemed to be very capable in magic. The only thing, around this time where magic became outlawed. Still, the proud nature of the Taiyokoians would not bow. In fact, they founded the short-lived mage guild Solar Saints. They opposed the Decretius Librarium forces that would eventually make their way to the village.

-events regarding what happened to Taiyoko Village will be revealed ICly-

And after events then happened, a then-nine-years-of-age Asahi fled with just a bag of essentials, and the company of his older brother(5 years older), Shinsei. He would escort his brother to a town not far from Taiyoko, leaving him with a trustworthy, if not eccentric, elderly couple that owed Shinsei a favor. After that, Shinsei was never to be seen, only rumored a few years later to be with the Decretius Librarium. This infuriated a twelve-year-old Asahi so much that he vowed to not only end the Librarium for what happened years ago, but for also to get answers about Shinsei.

And to do that, Asahi had to do what he promised he never thought he would have to do: join a mage guild. But not just any guild. It was the fabled Cloud Chasers Guild. Joining was rather easy since it was pretty much an open-enrollment kind of guild. Though, the fact it was on an airship was — well inspiring. Considering his origins, which was at a village that was had a view of the sun, it felt homey to him. Of course, when people got to know what kind of person Asahi, one could say that it was met with mixed reactions. Some bashed his head in right away and some took a little while until they bashed his head in. Despite that, it didn’t stop him from being who he was. A proud man, that Asahi. He’s proud of his heretage and there wouldn’t be anyone that would deny him of that.

Sun Magic

Sun/Solar Magic is a caster-type magic that allow Asahi to become one with the sun. His magic power is fueled by the sun. anything the sun can do, he will be capable of(to a degree, of course). He becomes what the sun represents. Because of that, his spells have such hot intensity that they could produce searing flames that have a fluctuating low to high temperature depending on mood and passion. Each spell is capable of radiating waves of high heat that are moderated to the skill level of its user(Asahi).

Due to the fact that Sun Magic is entirely taken from the sun, it should go without saying that when the sun is at its brightest, Asahi’s magic is at its strongest. And because of that, he would be at his most potent. The reverse could be applied as well. If the sun is not out(night time) then Asahi would more or less be rendered useless. He would only have his fighting capabilities to get him by. As the sun will go down, so will the potency of Asahi’s magic. Think of it this way: as the sun rises, so does his magic potency. At midday, he is at his strongest. And as the sun sets, so does Asahi’s magic, resting until day breaks anew.

It should be noted that Sun Magic has a close relation to Wood and Plant Magic. This is due to the fact that both are characterized by a prominent of natural and vital energies.

| Spells: |
Kōgōsei(Photosynthesis _光合成) - Passive/Innate Spell
More of a passive ability of Sun Magic usage than anything else. Photosynthesis grants Asahi the ability to take the energy emitted from the sun, and absorb it into his pores. By doing this, he can heal small wounds inflicted on him from enemy attacks. Additionally, he can store up sun energy inside those same pores to use for later as they will mix with his potent, pure magical power. Alternatively, he may use this stored up solar energy to heal others via physical contact from his dominant hand(left). Due to his skill level, he can only charge up sun energy five times per day.

Taiyō Gaitō(Solar Cloak _{太陽 外套})
A rather simple spell in both appearance and execution. By mixing innate magical power with energy given to him from the sunlight from either the sun itself or sunlight stored via photosynthesis, Asahi “flares up” in an aura of golden flame, sparks of white and red flaring around him. While active it enhances any spells he uses by almost a quarter of their core potency. Additionally, the aura also increases his own physical capabilities by an eighth of their core potency, this includes but not limited to: speed, strength, defense, etc. He is also able to fly, though consider this a work in progress. Also, there is a standard one to two minute period in which this spell can remain active. After that, there is not only a cooldown period of the same time, but all spells will have half the maximum strength during this cooldown period.

Hōshasen Taiyō (Radiating Sun _{放射 太陽})
By rapidly ionizing and releasing sun magical energy in either of his palms, Asahi is able form intense yellow and red-orange flames condensed into a sphere the size of a baseball that spiral the more eternano that is gathered. As it spins, steam will surround a small radius around Asahi due to the high heat generated. This will mask Asahi’s presence from his enemies. When its form has been completed, Asahi can either hurl it at a target or ram it into the gut. Both provide equal effects. Due to the spells burning and spinning properties, it will bear a drilling-like effect that can pierce through other spells. The power that this spell has within it can leave a modest-sized crater if hit in the ground.

Taiyōfū (Solar Wind _太陽風)
As the heat from the sun surrounds Asahi, he channels it in such a way that it creates a solar windstorm - a condensed one, mind you - in front of him in a ten-pace circumference with him at the center of it. By gesturing his arms, he can command this compacted storm to take the shame of a flaming wall that can block incoming spells of equal or lesser-strength. Or he can command it to take the form of its namesake(windstorm), and send hot currents towards someone as a means of offense.

Outside offense and defense, there is a passive ability that this spell has and that is to cause anything caught within its entirety to suffer first to second-degree burns. If they are hit with the offensive countermeasure, a third-degree burn is possible.

Taiyō Yubiwa(Solar Ring _太陽指輪)
Easily Asahi’s strongest and most-dangerous spell he currently knows. It is one that derives from the aura of plasma that surrounds the sun during a solar eclipse. As it is, when Asahi’ physical state is withered out and without light(this could be an interpretation of Asahi entering a state of a magical form of a solar eclipse). His reserves are low, his body is torn up from wounds, and he is near passing out. At this point is where the residual heat from his wounds, from the air around him, from any source remaining, gathers in both of his palms, and takes shape in a constant-rotating sphere of flame.

As both sphere come to the center on their own accord, Asahi, through his pain alone, wills the sphere to rise to the sky, absorbing heat as it proceeds upward. Once it gets to the point that it is above all else, it sends pulses of solar energy, which activate certain processes in oxygen to set a battlefield ablaze, scorching all within its twenty-foot region.

One thing to note about this spell is that it’s entirely controlled by Asahi’s pain. This meaning that it’s as strong as he is in physical unbearable agony. As such, the longer he keeps it going will cause him much strife, almost to the point where he might not even be able to keep the spell active. So, in other words, if his focus isn’t maintained, the orb will simply disappear, even before it has gotten the time to do what it was created for. Additionally, if there aren’t substantial wounds, it won’t have as high of a burning potency as one might think. Less-severe injuries will create less-severe spell power.

@BCTheEntity
Apologies for not getting my character up when I planned on doing it. Been a rough couple of days for me, but I'll for sure get her up, at latest, Monday.

Setbacks - Story of a High School Mafia

Due to personal reasons that I wish not to disclose, I will have to withdraw my interest in this RP. Sorry. :(

The Ardent Progeny - A Shadowhunters RP (Pre-Game Sign-Ups)

@BCTheEntity An actress. I'll be using her as my character's face claim(where you choose a celebrity's face to act as the face reference for your character's).

And fair enough. I figured I would ask. i mean, it's not a big deal regardless. There are plenty of runes to choose from, so I'm not really sweating about it. ^^;

The Ardent Progeny - A Shadowhunters RP (Pre-Game Sign-Ups)

@BCTheEntity A tempting offer, but I already have my character's name picked out.

Hmm, okay. I just wanted to make sure because it hadn't been a topic that was addressed in the Interest Check(of that I've seen, I mean). And that all seems fair. But, based off of what you said, I'm guessing that custom/original runes are out of the question? It doesn't matter to me that they are banned, but once again, just asking in case someone else has the same inquiry.

The Ardent Progeny - A Shadowhunters RP (Pre-Game Sign-Ups)

@Nallore@BCTheEntity@JaceBeleren

Two things: First, I want to reserve the face claim of Adelaide Kane for my character. And secondly, this is a two-part quesiton. When it comes to runes, are there any limits number-wise we need to be aware of? And also, are there any runes that are off-limits either because of the power they would give the Shadowhunters or because of plot reasons?
