Age:
“Sounding like a broken record isn’t my thing, so I’ll say I’m at least of drinking age in the UK.”

Gender:
”What was that internet acronym again? G.I.R.L.?”

Personality:

“So here’s the thing, I’m not one of those assholes that crafts their own personality for things online. Surprising, right? Well, I’ve got nothing much to hide, unless you count the time I didn’t read the EULA and terms of service for this game. Yeah, does anybody read that?

Well funnily enough, I don’t really play this game for an escape or anything like that. I started playing for the social factor, but I guess I’ll talk more about that later. Anyway, this is more of a hobby thing for me, and the different environment makes it fun for me to dick around and do sandbox-y things. Call me a casual, but I really dig the whole housing and property mechanics of this game. Decorating and trading decorations is the true endgame.

That doesn’t mean I don’t like PvE or PvP content though. But Christ, some of the other players are really toxic or uptight about things. It makes me glad I found a pretty decent guild and stuck with it.”

History:

“You probably know what I’m going to say about my past. I will say though, I’m British, and I do plan on going to culinary school. That was pretty on track for me, at least up until now. But we’re not here to talk about my culinary accomplishments, since everything I make tastes like mush or stale cardboard now anyway.

I’ve been playing since the beginning of secondary school, so basically when I was a little shit. As it happened, my older brother gave me the account he got from launch; that’s why I have such a fancy three-letter name. I don’t really remember much about when I was new; it was probably likely that my character died a lot. Probably to stupid things like mice and low-level, twenty second cast time AOEs. I ended up getting fairly on top of things though, and I’d be at level cap pretty quickly after the release of a new expansion pack.

For the most part, I’ve been in-and-out of various guilds, mostly raiding getups, for various reasons. Sometimes they didn’t click. Occasionally, core members would go inactive and the place would fall apart, or on one occasion, there was a spectacular drama that imploded the guild in one day. But all’s good, I made friends, and all my enemies are banned.

As things were, most of the friends I made ended up creating a guild called BDC, started by an androgynous looking kid named Reisstan. I’ve been rolling with them since, and it’s done pretty well for me.”

Build:
Fast Weapon Attack Specialization.

Like a certain other shield-specializing healing class in a similar MMO, Ivy's specialization focuses on exceptionally high DPS output from the healer. More specifically, she uses a sword as a mainhand, and in a very un-magelike manner, goes stabby on somebody’s face in before they can deal a significant amount of damage to her HP pool. As such, the bulk of her regular healing is done in significant amounts of buffing beforehand, or in between lulls in battle.

Spells/Skills:

Cleanse – Basic healing spell.

Sanitize – Removes a single debuff on a target.

Divine Nullification – A long cast spell that creates an invisible barrier for each party member. It takes half a minute to get done, but provides mitigation for 15% of a person’s health and lasts an hour.

Reflective Mitigation – Creates a powerful barrier around the target that counters a single attack and debuffs the attacker of the target's defense for 7%.

Destructive Mitigation – Takes all shields on the caster and fires the conserved energy at a target for the full mitigative potency.

Soul's Reserve - Takes all Shields on target and turns them into a heal for the shielded value.

Emergency Recovery – Shields target for 100% of health, and heals for 50%. Instant cast, but has a one day cooldown.

Emergency Cast – The next skill or spell only takes one second to perform. Takes an hour to cooldown.

Purification Barrier – Simple and dirty 10% damage reduction on a target.

Protective Barrier – Damage mitigation up to 10% on a target.

Degeneration – Reduces an enemy target’s attack and defense by 10% over the course of a minute.

Decisive Exorcism – A slow to cast AOE group heal.

Line Break – The one skill that doesn’t belong to the exorcist skillset. Conveniently enough, it meshes with her sword specialization; it’s a fast jump with a piercing fall. It has a 25% chance of breaking a guard and dealing double damage.

Equipment:

<Tabard of the Unforgotten>
“A sleeved cloth coat made for the last of the Alv royalty, this tabard has withstood the test of time through the ages.”
Artifact-class Robes

A piece of level 85 healing gear. It provides a substantial boost to spellspeed, in addition to providing a base 5% damage mitigation to the party with the wearer of this armor.

Weapons:

<Duelist Archel’s Colichemarde>
“An exceptionally light rapier wielded by the Duelist Archel. It is said to have been the fastest blade in all of Eureddo.”
Phantasmal-class Rapier

A level 85 sword that grants a large addition to agility and evasion. It’s very light and seems to have the weight of an aluminum rod. On hit, it has a 33% chance of slowing an enemy's agility or evasion.

<Forged Steel Frying Pan>
“Created using metals meant for broadswords and heavy weapons, this kitchen tool is unnecessarily strong.”
Production-class

Level 70 one-handed weapon that serves nothing more as a gag joke. It does deal damage though.

Inventory:

<Ivy’s House Keys>
“Keys to an adventurer’s house.”
Allows access to your hard-earned abode.

<Field Cooking Set>
"Necessities for the every-day chef on the road."

Basic cooking equipment that allows for cooking amenities on the go.

Roger. Just want to clarify damage mitigation vs damage reduction first. It pretty much breaks down to preventing damage entirely, or reducing damage. They're different mechanics with the same end effect, but with a place for different scenarios. Let's say Bill has 1000hp. If Ivy mitigates for 15%, it would take 1150 damage to kill Bill. If he takes 150 damage, then the shield eats the damage and is destroyed, with him taking no damage in the end. If she instead reduces 1000 damage for 15%, then Bill only takes 850 damage, but he will always take damage unless he has some other mitigation buff on him.

-Buffed both barriers and degeneration up to 10%

-Changed stats to new system

-I added this just before you posted the review, so you may have missed this: Soul's Reserve - Takes all Shields on target and turns them into a heal for the shielded value.

-Added a new inventory item.

I'll also have to find a theme.

Changed my stats and modified a few skills too.

Count me in as interested here. I'll be making a CS soon~

Will post on Wednesday, exams too OP.

Didn't you just make one?

Unless you operate on a stellar timescale, I don't think one week ago is "just made", yeah?

Being what the situation was, it would be natural to an informed observer that Shannon’s phone was indeed out of range. Of course, this was not unusual in itself; not every place was within range of a cell tower or telecommunications transmitter. She raised an eyebrow as the older girl mentioned 911; she must be an American. Shannon was more perturbed though, that ‘she was really far away from home.’ That was incredibly vague, to say the least. But before she peppered them with questions, she introduced herself. “I’m Shannon Forsyth. Nice to meet you.” Normally she’d make mention of her family or some relation for social points, but she’d realized quickly enough that connections wouldn’t matter in the middle of nowhere.

Shaking her head, she replied no; all she had that was anything significant was a hunk of metal and plastic, and a clipboard with some paper on it, which she sheepishly offered in lieu of a handkerchief. With the silly formalities aside, she resumed her quest of discovery. “So… far away as in, ‘I sleepwalked all the way Waterloo far’, or ‘somebody clocked me on the head and flew me to Williamsburg far’?” She paused for a moment, considering the absurd. “’Or I’ve fallen into a closet and appeared in Narnia far?’”

Conveniently enough, the appearance of a new figure did much to answer this question. She nearly jumped when the tall, slenderman-like entity appeared behind her and tapped at the phone. Rooted to the ground, she watched as the thing jumped away towards the two others after fruitlessly pressing a few icons. Despite the near jump-scare entry, it didn’t seem to be immediately malicious; rather, it seemed to try to help Valair. Shannon watched incredulously as it created a glass of water out of thin air and handed it to the injured man.

“Who… are you?”
