I intended to play a deck that I found fun and interesting for my character; however, I don't believe we're going to be willing to see eye to eye on this. As such I will humbly retract my entry and drop the RP. To those who go through I wish you the best of luck and lots of fun.
There's still a bit of benefits for the character to play Z-Arc.dek though. For one where the cards are common it means the deck is less specialized allowing for Martha to keep her identity far more secret
But it does fit the character. One of her major themes is the duality of self. Look closely and note that she plays 2 of almost every magician instead of just one. Pendulums as a mechanic is a pair based system and on top of this a lot of cards (Both graph's in the form of the traps and sorcerers, Z-arc Gates, Creation/Destruction Magician, and Dragonpit/Vein) are designed to work together. Also the flexible nature of the deck leads to better duel crafting. Lastly the duel is entertainment for herself. Just because Z-Arc is her ace doesn't mean she has to play around dedicating herself to summoning it
I don't know if you've read the OP, but Zarc in this setting is like Zushin the sleeping Giant, where it's powerful relatively speaking but also very common.
I did read it. I just like playing Z-arc.dek. It's my second favorite deck to play in the game :P
Appearance: Physically Martha is a woman of average everything so much if in a crowd she'd be boarder line unable to be picked out. A top of her head is blonde hair kept in a braid draped over her shoulder. Adorning her plain face is a pair of simple glasses modified to allow her green eyes to be able to duel in any location. For her outfit she wears a simple white blouse and a waist high skirt in a classic virgin killer outfit. For shoes she wears a pair of loafers and knee hight socks. Her alternate persona retains her more physical aspects, but the outfit completely changes. For one her hair is undone and goes straight until the end where it becomes extremely wavy. Her outfit now contains a small top hat fixed to her head that matches a mask matching her hat. The mask she wears is surprisingly simple with no details. Her outfit changes to sleeveless blouse and her skirt grows longer while adding a series of frills. Her shoes have changed to boots that ever so slightly raise her height. Finally she wears a red mini tie for absolutely no reason.
Duel Disk: Under Martha's civilian identity Martha carries a standard purple 5D's duel disk modified to account for Links format. Under her idol persona Martha's duel disk is a large gaudy purple heart that splits in two while folding away from Martha and sets up an energy board for her to play on. The heart piece is attached to an extremely simple metal gauntlet that reaches to the elbow. Life Points around the civilian identity are displayed via Martha's glasses and under her alter ego behind her mask.
Duel Runner: Iron Maiden Chariot: A large duel runner that rather then optimizing speed instead draws attention by it's sheer obnoxious factor. The chariot is of Roman variation but rather then being horse drawn is carried by a large wheel embezzled with emerald hearts as well as a copious amount along the sides and the front of it, but not enough. While it may not be built for speed it has an amazing amount of handling and acceleration. The duel runner while stationary the front wheel slightly retracts into it. Finally the Duel Runner is controlled via a keyboard below a screen that keeps track of the duel.
Speed Duel Skill: Supreme Servant: Once per duel instead of conducting your draw phase you can add one Violet Poison Magician, Double Iris Magician, White Wing Magician, or Black Fang Magician that is face up in your extra deck to your hand.
Ace Monster: Supreme King Dragon Z-Arc
Deck Master: Enlightenment Paladin
Deck Master Ability: Once per turn you may send two pendulum cards in your pendulum zone to the graveyard. Send one card your opponent controls to the graveyard.
Personality: As Martha she appears as a simple yet clumsy girl. She does her best to help those who she knows she can despite a shy demeanor and a desire to avoid strangers. Her alter ego as Miss Arc seems to do a complete one-eighty. She goes from a shy and meek girl to one to an overtly confident able to smack talk her opponent and cling to there faults like a Harpie Lady. The clumsiness seems to have disappeared into showboat like movements instead. In a duel a surprising new trait seems to crop up that being an extreme bloodlust and a desire. She also gains a strong desire to appeal to the crowd, but in a way that's pleasing to herself more so then them.
History:
Born to a poor family Martha always wanted more. To see the world and experience all it has to offer. Unfortunately her parents were never able to give her more. So she ran ran as far as she could from those losers and decided to make her own woman. Finding she had a knack for both duel monsters ad technology gave her a small footing to get a cash flow going, but finding the attention to be an issue and leaving her little private life as a talented youth Martha decided to don the appearance of Japanese idols to mask herlife. Unfortunately this had a detrimental effect on her causing both of her persona's to go to extremes. One as a powerless meek girl and the other a monster who exist to only stroke her own ego. At least that's what she wanted others to think. Instead Martha embraced her role as someone who does whatever she wants. This went as so far as to con someone out of an invite to the biggest tournament. while not dueling Martha holds a small job at a small cafe often tending to customer's needs as well as generally gossiping to find anything that piques her interest. While off working and not in her idol persona Martha loves to fiddle with tech to learn more about it and create things such as her duel disk and mask.
