Public Service Announcement: When you DM someone for an RP, show interest beyond just a hello and an offer. Offer what interested you, and perhaps something to work with beyond just stating interest.

Bio

I'm a generally chill gomboblin that can be kinda particular. I grew up with plenty of electronics and video games, mostly with games like Final Fantasy, Zelda, and StarCraft. Lots of Nintendo. Dark Cloud is pretty sick. That's a lot of variety, and I do like to play a lot of different games. I like to blend magic and technology in my writing, bringing fantasy into space and sci-fi.

Magic in space is something that I find isn't done very much. Airships and spaceships could make for some cool centerpieces. Skies of Arcadia did a fantastic job of this. Perhaps that's not in space, exactly, but it's pretty close. Some of those ships may as well be space ships.

An explosion woke her.

I... hope that wasn't my alarm. Well, she was alert now. It didn't sound like it came from her bedroom. More like... the window. She sat up from the couch she had fallen asleep at, watching Kung-Fu flicks, and rose to cross to the window. She pushed the drapes aside and gasped at what she saw. The building across the street... She steps away from the window before running to get the things she needs and go. Luckily, she had packed the night before, too. She makes sure to grab a crystal tied securely with a special cable, using special knots. She grabs a backpack of clothes and things, and slips on hard light skate projectors over her shoes as she hops out the door.

She races to the parking garage and gets her vehicle started just in time. It disengages from the hangar structure and floats out as Terra gets situated in the driver's seat. She's busy setting her communications equipment to emergency frequencies and known military frequencies. She's late... she may be missing orders. She needs to-

"- of the Exeralune speaking. Am I on? Yes?"

Blah blah blah. Okay, so someone was-

"...battle stations... not a drill..."

The woman slumped forward to head her head against the piloting wheel, but her attention was quickly brought back to her objective as another bombardment round hit her apartment. Her destination was set to go and she floored it. The little craft zipped down the pre-mapped flight routes, though... She looked up at the sky just in time to see something coming. She engages a protocol override and jerks the feel clear of another shot.

Who drives legally anyway?

She flew through holes in buildings that didn't used to be there and other such things, making a beeline for the hangar. Then something exploded above her, as she was coming up on the base. And then something winged her, sending her craft into a wild spin. She made preparations and ejected before crashing, throwing her through the air. The parachute in her seat deploys and softens her momentum before she hits the ground. Her hard light skates flickered to life and the buckle on her seat was undone, and she dropped away from the speeding seat as it neared the ground. She drops on a slope in a careful crouch, picking up speed before she hurtled into the hangar.

Since then, she's been working hard on board the ship, trying to ignore the chaos outside as she tends to communications equipment. Ignore the fact her car was totalled while she was blatantly ignoring driving regulations. Ignore the fact all her belongings were destroyed. Ignore the fact that the city is being attacked. She had to work right now.

And she had to do some repairs to the exterior antenna, too. Looks like something hit when it busted through the ceiling. She was doing that when the first shots were fired. Repairs were finished in a hurry before she ducked inside a nearby maintenance hatch, scrambling to the corridor below. It was the same hatch she had used to get up there in the first place. She found herself leaned up against a wall, clutching her Aevan Imprinted Crystal. The one thing she couldn't replace... it was a very important gift.

She moved to get up but found herself flinching. She'd... been shot. Winged in the shoulder. "Gotta get to medbay." She leans herself up against a wall and tries to hold her shoulder as still as possible. "... Where was medbay?" Well... she wasn't going to find it by standing around here. First thing to do was to leave the maintenance cooridors. She had to wonder who she'd run into, stumbling out of a maintenance corridor with a gunshot. Hopefully she'd run into someone.
Trinity was strolling through the city, plucking her bow harp as she walked. It was something she did so she wouldn't be bored, playing the song she finds in her surroundings. Sometimes, the proper instrument was a little... cumbersome, though...

All that aside, the young lady is distracted when a tree gets chopped down, and then someone storms inside a building. He'd been in the tree before, too. She indulges her curiosity and wanders onto the grounds, approaching the fallen tree and then looking to the person next to her. She assumes he cut it.

"Y'know... trees are living, too." It wasn't like she ran around hugging them or anything, but still...

She probably uses Requip... mostly as a way to carry musical instruments.

She's a wandering minstrel from Minstrel.
I never said she was very skilled with Requip. I suppose I could go back and find that scene where they talk about it, but... I'd say she's a C or a B mage, if she only used Requip.
Name: Trinity Stratos

Age: 19

Magic: Energy Make - She focuses energy (raw magic?) into whatever shape she desires. Her combat favorites are Bow, Dome, and Scythe. She has to focus on them to keep their shape, so it's resistant to Time Magic. She can recall created formations to her, as well.

She also has a stash of magical items she can Requip. Notables items are her magic Harp Bow and an old gnarled branch staff, with a crescent moon of some alloy or other at the top.

Magic Level: A

History: Trinity was part of a minor noble family in Minstrel. She learned music, of course, and found a preference for the harp. Her father taught her Energy Make. She lived a calm, peaceful life, until a Demon claimed her home. She was rushed to the basement by servants, hiding her away in a shelter below. After the demon passed, they emerged to find all in ruins, and nothing to show of her mother or father. However, someone had been left in charge. He gave the girl a note and a staff, from her father, before bidding her leave. They wouldn't have the resources to take care of her while they were rebuilding. The land was ruined, so they would send her to one of her relatives to stay. Her second cousin, in Midi, taught her Archery, and she stayed with him for three years. After, she moved in with her great aunt Vivian in Stella, who showed her how to Requip items, and some finer points of being a lady. Her father and cousin weren't exactly suited to that. After three years with her, Trinity then took to wandering. Living under someone else's roof was too stifling, and she wasn't used to these people, as nice as they were. She went west, across Bosco, and into Fiore.

Personality: Though a bit of a drifter, she's a carefree, sweet young woman.

Three Strengths:
1. Music and singing
2. Foreign diplomacy
3. Skilled archer
