Stage 1:
Name: Mari Arlene
Age: 17
Apperance:
History: 17 years, that was how long Mari had lived in the same small house at the back of her neighborhood. During the summers, the house was sweltering hot and the wooden boards seemed to turn more ashen gray with each year. During the winters, the cold seemed to radiating from every wall. Her family was too poor to afford the luxuries of an air conditioning and heating system, much less any other electronics or opulent items. Despite her obvious lack of lavish luxuries, Mari did not care much. Sure it felt a little bit disheartening when she compared her own clothing and items to others, but those thoughts had melted away years ago, as the pained expression of her saddened parents stabbed her even more. Mari was rarely teased for her lack of the latest and greatest fashion and technology, thank goodness, and was even able to make a couple of loyal friends.
With just these simple things, Mari lived comfortably. She studied hard both in and out of school with the goal of getting a full ride into a prestigious college. She had learned that the only way to escape her impoverished lifestyle was to make it big on her own. It was the only way she could help her family financially. Mari worked day in and out, often cutting short on sleep and meals, but her friends tried to keep her in line. They made sure she ate from time to time. However, it was all for not. Despite her grades, it was not enough to get Mari anywhere big. She lacked extracurricular activities and community service. Those two key factors crushed her. Picking up her broken pieces, she settled for a local college that had offer to give her scholarship, landing her back in the same small house with her closest friends and setting her up for the unimaginable.
Personality; Mari is reserved, to say in the least. She prefers to avoid social interaction if possible and usually dismisses it when she deems topics uninteresting or irrelevant. It is amazing that she even has friends. However, once passed her icy exterior, it is evident that she is in fact quite a caring and loyal person who only wishes the best for others and especially her family. Mari is a very studious girl who exudes perseverance and determination to the point that it is probably unhealthy. She has given up many a nights sleep to accomplish assignments for classes and often forks over her mealtimes in exchange for working. Although, her teachers and peers often admit that her work and work ethic is flawless. Her projects and products are always pristine and close to perfect, if not.
What they were doing when they passed out: Homework, homework, and did I forget to mention homework? Mari had no intention of joining in with the obscene festivities of staying up late at night with peers from her school, but she had to admit that she was indeed curious about the strange recurring dream. She was going to stay up late anyway, finishing her countless mounds of course assignments, so she reluctantly allowed her best friend to drag her to this silly get-together. She was sitting at the kitchen table with all of her books and homework sprawled everywhere when they passed out.
Stage 2:
Dragon Egg:
Dragon Type: Chimera Dragon - These dragons are unusual at the best of times lacking their own defining breath attack they make do by Hijacking others, while only ever at half power of the original, the Chimeral dragon has the rare skill of using 2 different breaths one after another. Chimera dragons also have the strange ability to change their scale colour, Not like a chameleon, but more like a general tone change, Eg. from red to blue. Starts off with 1 fire breath and 1 frost breath.
Dragon Appearance:
Dragon Name: Ji
Dragon Personality: Exceptionally capricious, Ji requires lots of patience and tolerance. He switches personality traits with each of his acquired skills. With fire, he acts passionately and violently, making each of his movements forceful yet often over exaggerated; this leaves him vulnerable in-between attacks. With ice, he acts cold and distant to his companion and other dragons; this makes him more stubborn and unwilling to attack and listen to reason.
Weapon Chosen: Katana, The blade of the Samurai, representing Honour and Integrity.
Weapon Image:
Power Granted: Bamboo blade, Mari can pick up any stick and for a while (5 minutes) it will become a normal weapon,
LImitations: The stick must be dead, and she cannot break it off a plant. others can do that for her. Once the time is up, the weapon shatters, before turning in to sawdust.
Power Cost/Requirement: Each use Randomizes her ear piercings. Turning them in to random earrings/studs each use. The shift is non-painful, and they will never be bigger than the actual hole.
