Welcome to Gaia! ::

AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM


Name: Kemnebi
Nicknames: Nebi
Gender: Female
Age: about 17

Faction/Race: Monster
Species: Lycanthrope
Sub-species: Were-panther

Personality: Kemnebi is very stubborn, possessive, and sarcastic. In her dealings with others, she can be likened to a mirror. She’s polite to those who treat her well, but she can lash out with a viperous tongue at those who choose to be rude and insufferable. Kemnebi has a very dry, sarcastic humor that takes some getting used to and she’s been known to drive off more than one person that way.

Kemnebi doesn’t particularly mind being alone. Similar to her animal species, she is a bit of a loner, oft preferring a quiet limb to listen to music or take a catnap than the hustle and bustle of a large crowd. Friends aren’t something she finds necessary, though she can be friendly. If anyone is ever able to breach her aloof persona, however, they’ve made a friend for life. Her possessive nature claims them as ‘hers’ and she protects and keeps what is hers.

The girl loves heights. Trees, rooftops, parapets, if it’s high off the ground she’ll try to find some way to get up there. It’s a cat thing to want to get high; it gives an advantage in hunting prey. Not something she normally does, but she doesn’t mind allowing her more animal instincts a bit of free reign. Being up that high, especially during a storm, also allows her to recharge her own store of electricity, though she isn’t dumb enough to be outside during a lightning storm.

She also has a habit of picking pockets. Lured by the small amount of danger, Kemnebi finds that stealing trinkets from others is thrilling. Even more so to slip though the other’s guard to put the trinket back without notice. She also finds it highly amusing to lift something valuable from one person and place it into a different person’s pocket, sit back, and watch the sparks fly. This she normally reserves for those who have pissed her off; after all, dissention among her enemies causes her no ends of amusement. But every once in a while she does it for pure entertainment’s sake, the hapless victims are usually people she doesn’t even know. Does she get caught? Oh sure, hard not too with all the times she does it. One of her driving forces in taking the stealth class is to improve upon her skill. She’s always willing to get better.

Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? Kemnebi made her way to the academy in order to gain better control of her fear ability. Having an ability that knocks her unconscious for an indefinable period of time makes her feel far too vulnerable. Kemnebi also wishes to improve upon her pick-pocketing skills so that she doesn’t get caught quite as often. So her goal is to get better and to maybe even learn some new tricks.

Classes:
Shadowcraft 101
Literature
Creature Feature 101
Stealth 1
Emergency Aid Level 1

FEAR:
Natural Ability: Were-form. Kemnebi can change from her humanoid form to her animal form in an instant, hardly needing much fear to do so. She takes on the form of a panther that is roughly the size of a full grown horse, and is far stronger than the mere mortal for of the creature in the human world. For now, her animal form seems rather plain. When she progresses with her studies her animal form will eventually grow spikes in various places.

Fear Ability: Lightning Strike (Gambler's Chance). Kemnebi has the ability to shoot electricity in an offensive strike. The power manifests as lightning that shoots from the ends of her fingers.

Physical Description: Lean and lithe like a cat.
Height: 5'
Weight: 120 lbs
Eye Colour: Gold with green streaks and a cat’s pupil. Almond/cat shaped
Hair Colour/Style: Dark purple almost black hair. Pulled back at the top of her head in a ponytail with the hair still falling down to her waist.
Skin Colour: Tan
Clothing Style/Colours: Open black leather jacket with silver zippers and buckles. Orange tank top, black ripped jeans and black, heelless boots. She has a black spiked collar with a bell hanging from it, and black, fingerless gloves. She also has skull shaped headphones.
Extra: Cat ears and a cat tail both black.

Hello there! biggrin Some crit for you~~

The one thing that jumps out at me is her FEAR ability - it's a fine ability concept, but as it stands the ability is overpowered for a potential first year. Anything with the potential for a one-hit kill is way overboard!

I think you'd find that looking at and assigning a FEAR type to your FEAR will also help you define how it plays out - which FEAR type you choose can affect the flavor of the attack in play. For example, if you choose Battle Cry as your FEAR type, perhaps she strikes with a single powerful bolt! But if you choose Swift Strikes, perhaps it is multiple smaller bolts. Or maybe you choose Headlights - so the bolt stuns the target rather than doing HP damage! There are a lot of possibilities. smile

Also, keep in mind that things like "if there isn’t anything around her that she can draw electricity from, she has to rely upon her own reserves. This uses up much more magic, substantially weakens her attacks"- since the FEAR attacks are all determined by dice roll, you don't need to build in limits like this. smile Her attacks will always be the same power potential regardless of her environment! So if a dice roll flubs, even if she's standing on a Tesla coil she'll do no damage. Or she might do max damage in the middle of a desert under clear skies. THE MAGIC OF DICE!



Other than that, though, I think she's looking pretty solid - her personality is looking good (though I would question why you say she "seems like a laid back person" before going through a lot of reasons why she isn't laid back at all!).

If you haven't already I'd encourage you to sign up with her in the current metaplot, which is open to quest students! biggrin

You absolutely could use Gambler's Chance! smile All the FEAR types are available for any year to use - just which dice you roll varies based on your character's year (so a third year has more powerful attacks than a first year).

You're welcome! :> See you in the meta~
