The Battle for Astrea [Always Open]

Hazel stood waiting as the old fool droned on, anything but patient. She was hardly interested in any of this. Instead her mind wandered to her surroundings: The newly found wonders all around her. No longer was her world entirely brick and mortar, but now nature. It was a completely foreign and it titillated even the likes of Hazel Daphiat, who often would find herself above so simple excitements. The words of Gregorias simply went through her, and she payed no heed to his presentation. As far as she was concerned one as old as him commanded no respect from her, and he was completely unsuited to even think of commanding a group of warriors so strong that she was counted among their ranks. The strength of her new companions had been obvious even to her, but that wasn't to say that she didn't think she was better then all of them.

That was the other thing. All the people. It was new to her, the crowds of the cities she has passed through, even this small group was more then she had seen in the last several years. And they all towered over her. She struggled to not be crushed by the armored warriors that surrounded and dwarfed her, and was exceedingly tempted to burn them all. But she didn't. These people were different than those in the Sky Kingdom, she noticed. When she walked the streets of the city for the first time she knew that they all knew who she was. She could see in there eyes that they feared her, but these strangers did not know her or fear her. In fact they payed her almost no mind, which made her angry once again and was another reason to roast them. When the gathering first assembled many had pointed out the more recognizable warriors. Whispers passed her, the Crimson Hound, The Phoenix, more names and titles that meant nothing to her. She found it a great slight that these people that she knew were weaker then her commanded so much respect.

But it was the ending of Gregorias's presentation that bought her attention.

“So it’d be best if you guys start making acquaintances now, you never know who’s going to be your new best friend.”

Oh god. Hazel already felt uncharacteristically uncomfortable. What do I do? People already began breaking into groups and making these disgusting things called friends. Disgusting, useless, pointless, stupid relations that she yearned for more than anything else. And it was so that she suddenly didn't feel like the large, strong, powerful, hateful, wrathful, strongest mage in all the world that she knew she was, but instead a small child. People were now taking notice of her now that people were spreading apart, and she caught a group of people laughing at her. She caught a comment floating in the air from a stranger "What's a little girl doing here?" She turned in a huff. She was above them. It was the one thing she knew. Soon people would begin forming around her, she knew it. Her power would command their respect.

She also knew something else: I could kill all of you if I wanted to.

But she didn't.

The Battle for Astrea [Always Open]

Name: Hazel Daphiat

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Appearance: Hazel is a youthful girl with soft white skin, framed by a cascade of long straight light red hair that reaches down to the small of her back. She has a small frame, which is exaggerated by her small stature, as she stand at a meager 4'8". Hazel has a heart-shaped face adorned with deep green eyes. Despite her comparatively small stature she carries an air of confidence, walking with a surefooted gait that seems to exude some deep power hidden in her small body, oft earning the attention of those around her. Even though you might think she would slip by unnoticed due to her size it seems that she is often noticed simply due to this odd aura she has. However her cute appearance and seemingly commanding air hides the truth of her...

Kingdom: Sky Kingdom

Persona: Hazel is a terrible person. She has been described as stubborn, brash, overconfident, presumptuous, mean, egotistical, hot-headed, wrathful, and vain. Her defining feature is her cocksureness: As far as she is concerned she has no equal in the fields of spellcraft, beauty, and charm. She thinks herself absolutely witty and charming even if this is entirely untrue. She is often rude to strangers, and feels a sense of superiority over her peers. She is wrathful and petty and never gives up on a grudge. She has an amazingly short fuse and is very readily angry, having absolutely no control over her emotions, going from seemingly happy to angry in the span of seconds. This has all been fed by the fact that she is indeed very powerful and pretty, and the fact that she is a hormonal teenager who happens to be one of the most powerful mages to be produced by the Sky Kingdom.

She does, however, have a few redeeming traits. She is very studious and determined. She did not just gain her power from natural ability, but also years of research and training. She is also a loyal friend, despite what some may think. She currently has none, so if she were to happen upon people that she can call 'friend' she would fight for and protect them fiercely.

However Hazel wears this persona like a mask. In reality her outward attitude is her overcompensating to hide her real feelings. Her overwhelming overconfidence hides the deep sadness she feels due to her past. She has convinced herself that she is above others so she doesn't feel the toll of not having a person to truly call her friend. Her overwhelming anger and wrath is a vent, a way to release the hatred she feels towards the world. In truth Hazel is just a lonely girl that wishes someone would love her, because she has found no love from family or friends.

Post Example: The world turned red. Hazel knew this feeling. It was pain. Excruciating and overwhelming. But it was not physical pain. Instead it came from deep inside, and it exploded, lashing out, seeking any target possible for her wrath. It seemed that everything was distant. She wasn't her. She was not Hazel Daphiat. She was not scared, or lonely, or sad. She was all malice. It was pain, but it felt good, because she knew she had power. She knew they were afraid. She knew that they knew that she could destroy a block of buildings if they pushed her the wrong way. And the fear made her feel powerful.

In short, her anger was hot and vicious and she couldn't possibly more furious. She huffed aloud and turned her attention to the servant who was now begging for her forgiveness. "What do you think you are doing?! Are you trying to anger me?!" Hazel's small staff of servants were completely incompetent. Hazel was keep under close watch by the Sky Kingdom, but one of the perks afforded by her status as a mage with such great potential was that they took very good care of her, as her parents were unfortunately unable to fulfill the task, dead as they were. She was kept in a fancy estate that was more of a prison then a home, but she enjoyed a great degree of luxury. Knowing her fiery temper they thought it best to appease her, which worked most of the time, except when someone made a mistake.

The servant was still stammering apologies. Hazel look back down at her dress, now richer a small wine stain due to the server's incompetence. She turned around, seeking out the head of her household, the closest thing to a 'caretaker' the young girl, the head servant that seemed to be the only semi-competent person around. "Winston! I want him fired immediately!" He nodded. "Yes m'lady, I'll take care of it right away. The bumbling fool was escorted out. The room quickly emptied, and all that remained were a pair of guards. They're not my guards, they're my jailers. She knew it in the back of her head. All of this luxury she was given, all of the servants, dresses, expensive things, it was all to contain her. It worked, but a part of her knew what was happening. More than anything, she wanted a taste of freedom.

She counted. It had been 10 years since she had spent a day in the world outside of her solitary prison. But the time would come soon. Soon, she would no longer be a captive, but would instead be given away as a military asset. It was a continent way for the Sky Kingdom to get rid of a very volatile problem.

Equipment: Hazel does not use sword, shields, hammers, bows, arrows, axes, maces, or any sort of martial weapon. She is above that. As for armor she also possesses none. Armor to her is a hindrance, and after all, why would one as powerful as her have need of barbaric protection like that? Magic and her natural talents are all Hazel thinks she needs.

Ability/Magic/Technology: Hazel is a completely inept fighter, but instead has the gift of magic. Incredibly powerful magic. The flame of magic burns brightly within her, and she has studied for as long as she could read to expand her talent. She knows magic of all sorts, but has a propensity for destruction. Whether it be through a great conflagration, or a massive earthquake, or a large clap of thunder summoned down upon her opponent, or even a blast of sheer arcane energy, she can bend the power of nature to destroy and demolish. However her talents are not only limited to destruction, as she has studied a great many schools of magic: She is versed in the arts of healing, illusion, the power to strengthen and empower others, and to use her power to manipulate the world around her. While some focus on one magical field and learn every in and out of it, Hazel instead knows many magical skills but has not become a true master in any.

<Snipped quote by Diggerton>

Usually I'd be against super powered magic ultimates like her, but I like the idea that she's basically evil. Maybe a future threat to everyone else. Then again, how would any of the other characters stand a chance? Hmm. We'll have to wait and see what the GM has to say.

@QT

Yeah, I was kinda concerned about her power while writing and am definitely willing to tweak it if Animus wants me to.

The Battle for Astrea [Always Open]

Okay, this is done! I feel like some tweaking may need to be done, if anything big jumps out please tell me. Also, this was written late at night and not proofread as it should have been, so please ignore any grammar/spelling errors.

The Battle for Astrea [Always Open]

Oh man, Windel, it looks like both our characters are going to be mages from the Sky Kingdom with some very... different attitudes.

The Battle for Astrea [Always Open]

Working on it. Slow going, but working on it.

@Zombehs

Ditto! Slowly, but steadily.

Fu Sonzai no Genso: An Urban Fantasy Mystery RP

Interested, I'll start working on a CS

The Battle for Astrea [Always Open]

Hmmmm, I'm interested in this, but I'm curious as to how 'OP' our characters will be? In the little text block you have you say one of the creatures were hunting wiped out thousands of soldiers, so I assume they'd have to be pretty balls to the wall strong to fight it, or maybe that beast is atypical compared to the ones we'll fight.

Strangeland | Legends Never Die

Hey! I'm still here, just slowly progressing on my CS. Is it alright if I jump in after things are already going?

Strangeland | Legends Never Die

Looking forward to this, I'll get a CS up tomorrow (hopefully).
