Welcome to Gaia! ::

Please post your filled out forms for this contest here along with whether you're going for the indian or cowgirl. If you're trying for both please put each in separate posts <3

For the sexy Indian:

Username: Kira of Flames
Name: Wakanda 'Sirius' Walker
Alias: Pochahontas
Aspect: Spirit
Beacon: Rabbit's foot keychain
Strengths: Spiritual, Athletic, Passionate
Weaknesses: Hemophobic, Deep-seated Pride

Normal student description:
A Senior in Valley High, Wakanda is the captain for the Archery Team and, in the spring, runs on the track team as well. Built athleticly, sheaims to get a scholarship for admition into a decent college and dreams of a Full Ride Scholarship through a sports admission. Academic wise, she falls right in the middle of the bell curve with a GPA of 2.6, but tends to be stronger in History than any other subject. Outside of school and sports, she spends a lot of time volunteering at a local Wild Life center where she shines with her handling of the animals; the acception being when it involves blood, which can make her dizzy, nausiated, and on rare occasions faint.

Although most students dont know much about her nationality past 'Native American', Wakanda gladly admits to her Sioux tribal connections, and has a strong spiritual affiliations to their tribal beliefs. The Sioux line comes from her mother's side, where her great-grandmother was a medicine woman. Following typical Sioux tradition, Wakanda is deeply religious and caries around a rabbit's foot to symbolize her Spirit Guid, a Jack Rabbit.

Magical form description:
Have you ever had a rival that you couldn't stand? That just the though of them set you grinding your teeth and your blood would begin to boil? That is exactly how Pochahontas feels about a certain Cowgirl. Although exactly where this rivalry started is unknown.... maybe it has to do with the past when cowboys and indians faught, or maybe it might have to do with a competative nature in general. Whatever the reason for this deep set grudge be, it's exceedingly evident whenever Pochahontas is around this Cowgirl, causing tension in the air thick enough to be cut with a butter knife.

Ability wise, Pochahontas' strength comes not from her, but from the Spirit of Native American lore and ancestors of Tribes past. When calling any other animal to her aid she must be in possetion of a peice of them, such as a buffalo horn for the spirit of a buffalo, and they must be animals found in the Native American folk lore. It taxes greatly on Pochahontas' energy when she calls Spirit Animals to her, therefor limiting the amount of times she can summon before needing rest. After summoning the Spirit Animal, Pochahontas merges with the animal to take on it's aspects. This power is not reliable, however, and it depends on the mood of the Spirit Animal for if it will appear to her and cooperate. On very rare and desporate occasions has the Spirit Animal fully taken over her body, eating up her energy until her body physically is exhausted and faints.

When summoning to her the Spirits of her Ancestors and those of Native Americans past, it takes her a bit more of premeditation. She needs to weave a small dream catcher while giving a special prayer to the Spirit. Only then can she chanel her energy through to bring the Spirit to her, the dreamcatcher becoming the core of a full-bodied appartition of the deceased. Unlike with animal spirits, Ancetrial Spirits are summoned for advice and assistance more than for physical fighting. Because of this, it's far less taxing on her strength for Pochahontas to bring forth these spirits.

It's also important to note that she still has her Hemophobia in her magical form, making it very interesting when she has to fight baddies.

For Cowgirl:

Username: Irridecent_Puddle
Name: Mary-Annabella Rhodes
Alias: Cactus Cate
Aspect: Chance
Beacon: Wild West themed charm bracelet
Strengths: Improvisation, Handyman, Optimism
Weaknesses: Focus, Planning, Luck

Normal student description:

Despite transplantation from the rest of the family down south, Mary-Annabella Rhodes and her parents, Professor Chester and Sybil May-Ann Rhodes find it rather easy to blend in into the city life. The numerous parks make it quite easy to forget that they no longer live in the really quiet podunk town comprised of every cousin known to man trying to get some action on their cute Cousin Mary-Annabella.
Everyone in the family seemed thrilled about this move, especially the space case of a father when he found out his girl had the brains to somehow manage to get accepted into a school with uniforms. ( No one has the heart to tell him that its a public school, but the news will be broken to him come his retirement party in twenty years. . . if he doesn't postpone it again.)

Though, that's what they tell the folks that are guests in their home. Mary-Annabella is a little bit of a trouble maker. She loves games. Loves them. And if someone is a looser, she must be the winner. She must win, she must come out on top, she must have something to prove that she won victory over them. ( Blame growing up with boys. . . She's a little rough and tumble.) Don't worry. . . if she breaks the table in a little fight, it'll be fixed in no time, probably actually stands straighter then that one time your husband decided to get the wobble out too. While she may have little luck in games, she can sure fix anything she lays her hands on.

Often time's its Mary-Annabella in the detention room playing a game of poker with a deck of cards for candy or pennies since, well, she might as well get something out of it if they don't like the way she dresses and the janitor has no work for her.

Magical form description:

Enamored with the magic and mystery that is the Wild Wild West told in Cowboy Poetry reading sessions, Mary-Annabella chose something a little more fitting with an actual cowboy depicted romantically in films she loved so much. Cactus Cate sounded neat and cowboyish and had that flair of fun and stuff that she loves. It goes well with her aspect of Chance ( as in gambling odds and cards.)

She really wants to help, really. Her main tool is a set of poker chips and a deck of cards. What roaming cowboy would be complete without his cards and chips? Certainly one that doesn't know how to have a little fun in town after a hard day mending cattle and herding fences! To fight, she channels her energy through these objects and flings them at her opponents. Depending on the suit denotation ( Hearts, Clubs, Diamonds, Spade, or Joker) thrown damage is done.
( Damage is done on a percentile base. Ie: 2 of hearts is equal to 2% damage to opponents HP gauge.)

Her basic deck composes of 52 cards.:
Hearts is a physical attack in which the cards can become rigid enough to cut the flesh of her opponent. Small chance of hit.
Clubs is another physical attack, however this is more of a blunt trauma. The thrown card magically enlarges itself and swats at the opponent. Pretty constant hit rate.
Diamonds is a magic attack that focuses on healing and siphoning winnings. The more gold she has in her purse, the more damage the cards will do. The attack is implimented similar to a typical ' MAGICAL GIRL SOTA: PRINCESS CHARM GO!" . . . Except less annoying and less super spaztic pink. best way to describe it is the card turns into that denomination of 'diamonds' and either heals her or her allies, heals the enemy, or does nothing at all. ( Plot based...usually it does nothing at all...advanced skill and what not. Hur hur hur.)
Spades summon cactus needles. They are similar to hearts, but no blood, they just stick into the opponent slowing them down. No, they don't go somewhere vital. Cactus Cate can't stand the thought of actually killing anything.

Jokers, two of them, are either helpful or hindering. They're a real coin toss. Heads, something good will happen. Tails, and Cactus Cate goes screaming and crying at her bad luck. ( Nothing happens. At all. Ever. . . That she knows of.)

She's found that odd numbers seem to work better for her as she flings her cards at those that stand in the way of justice and what is right. Though... the queen of diamonds always seems a bit picky, and Spades just doesn't seem to like her at all. She can often be seen yelling at her deck of cards or howling like a cross coyote if a joker pops up.

Even with her lust for winning and gambling, Cactus Cate is very respectful to her Indian rival. She sees the land as originally theirs and is a strong supporter of free range anything. And she is kind and friendly to all animals and does her very best to give them all a wide berth when out and about the world.

For the Indian:

Username: ashes to the wind
Name: Eyota Mai Royce
Alias: Kaliska
Aspect: Coyote
Beacon: Onyx Pendant
Strengths: Strong Willed, Diligent, Resourceful
Weaknesses: Proud, Ambitious

Normal student description:
Just call me Mai. It makes things easier.

Mai is a hard working student, believing in persistence and hard work will prevail. Though that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have a hint of laziness in there. Everyone has their flaws.

Mai is a junior at Valley high, with excellent grades. Her personality attracts people to here, so she is known in the school. She likes to take her time with her schoolwork, making sure that she has done it to her best ability, but she doesn’t go as far as being a perfectionist.

It is hard for some people to take criticism, and Mai is one of those people. It’s hard for her to see the flaw in her work, try as she might, but it hinders her abilities sometimes. She tries to take the criticism- if you don’t take it, how will you improve?- but it may take a lot of convincing. By then, you may forget why you criticized her in the first place.

She may go a bit too far when trying to do the best she can. Taking over all the work in a group project, stretching herself too thing, are just some of the little things that she has done.

All in all, she tries hard, sometimes a little too hard.

Magical form description:

There was a time, my great grandfather had told me, that the coyote brought man fire. He felt for man, and pitied that so many had to die in the winter. He wanted to protect them, as do I. I want to protect the people.

Dressed in furs, as the coyote once took to the villagers in need, she feels closer to the earth. Like the trickster coyote, her appearance may look threatening, but she is kind hearted- only there to help the less fortunate and protect those her need her.

This girl attacks with the ferocity of nature. Her upbringing has taught her when to fight and when it was necessary to flee. With the aspect of the coyote, she is able to heed natures call with tricks and tactics. She is playful with her skills, almost teasing as she moves in. She is able to call upon a bow and arrow for battle, or tomahawk if situations get to close combat.

Mai has the ability to sense things that are about to happen to her. Not predict the future, but more of a spider sense in a way. Though she has this ability, it may only warn her seconds before something happens and Mai may not be able to react in time.

Mai can transform into a coyote. It heightens her ability to smell and eyesight in the dark. Using this takes up a lot of energy and can only be maintained for a short amount of time. This transformation is usually used for dangerous situations where the quick footed coyote may be needed.

And we mustn’t forget about a rival. The one thing she truly despises. Yes the cowboy, in all their glory, has plagued the land like a disease. Although Mai wants to help people, she can’t help but feel a bit of hatred toward them and anything associated with them.
