Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name:Thrud Valkrin

Nickname: Grumpy, Val

Age:17

Birthday:12/17

Sign: Sagittarius

Gemstone: Turquoise

Blood Type: B-

Fav. Food: Pizza

Hated Food: livers

School: Meadowview High School

Hobbies:
Martial Arts-Any free time that Thrud has she spends in her familys Dojo down the street from her house, shes been training there since she was about 4 years old with her father. Shes there every day there that she can, which is normally 5+ times a week. Spending more then 4 hours there at a time she devotes all her energy to getting better at every form of combat that she can. She has always been strong willed about just about anything she puts her mind to, and when she opens her mouth it isn't always sweet things that come falling out of it and she ends up in more trouble then not, so knowing how to defend her self when her mouth gets her in trouble helps keep her from being on the losing side of things, which she really hates.

Art-When she isn't doing things at the dojo or her homework shes found drawing. She doesn't show it off to just any one and doesn't think her work is any good when to most people it is rather stunning. She quite often falls asleep at her desk at home with her face in her sketch book. If you have been given the honor of seeing her work in her book then you are someone she trusts greatly.

Horticulture-Shes got a wonderful green thumb and has several small bamboo plants and one bonzai tree in her room. She takes care of the plants around the Dojo and is always planting new ones when needed.


Virtues:
Kindness-She is very caring even if her mouth is really good at getting her in trouble, more often then not its for a good reason. She is very set on things being right in her world...which means anything she sees really. If she sees someone being robbed she will do what ever she can to get the bad guy. If someone is hurt she stops to help. It doesn't matter if she ends up hurt as well or in trouble shes going to do anything and everything she can to help someone, something or the situation. She might always look rather grumpy but she cares for everything and doesn't want to see people in pain. Shes rather out going with what she wants to do at any given time.

Leadership- Among her friends shes often the one to make the choice on what to do that day, where to go for lunch or to hang out. When it comes to her Senshi duties she tries to be the leader with everything and keep everyone motivated and coordinated. She has taken to being a leader rather well and doesn't mind offering to take charge if no one is willing. She shoulders responsibility easily and everyone naturally turns to her for answers and help. Her time spent training to fight has given her a strong sense of what she is comfortable with. Her father has started her teaching her own classes to small children so leadership and teaching are becoming common place for her.


Flaws:
Sassy-Her mouth causes a lot of her trouble with just about anything in her life. She cant keep it shut when it should be and she doesn't always care about it getting her in trouble. shes gotten good at getting her self out of the trouble her mouth gets her into but someday she wont be so lucky.

Grump-She is rather grumpy most of the time, while she cares about the goings on around her she still comes off with 'resting b***h face' more often then not. She doesn't like others to know shes caring and kind, that shes one of the good guys and will do anything to help those around her. She will save you and still look unhappy about it even if she will save your life you probably wont know she likes to help people.

This is a Thrud from another shop. Take her style in this image and do with it as you will as long as its please not a skirt. She does not wear pink either. She likes snakes and dogs and cats. obviously she wont have tattoos right now. But the eyebrow piercings and ear ones as well. No ears or tail obviously and the scar on her neck is something related to all characters in the other shop so ignore that as well.

Attacks:

Sailor Scout Attack:
Ivy Arrow- (Can be used about 3 times)
*Summons her energy into her hand and poses like shes pulling a bow, the energy moves to her finger when she 'fires' and Ivy will shoot from her finger. Then the Ivy Arrow of Poison shoots at the target.
*When the bolt hits the target that area is wrapped in poison Ivy. (As in if it hits the arm only the arm is wrapped in Ivy but the whole body will be effected by the poison but the rash will only be on the arm.)
*Unlike normal poison ivy this Ivy will just slowly irritate its host, though there might be a bit of a rash to deal with to make things more uncomfortable.
*The Ivy falls off after about 30 seconds and the rash will fade then too.

Super Sailor Scout Attack:
Ivy Arrow Net.- (Can be used up to 3)
*The Arrow splits into 2 as she fires it and wraps up to two attackers in a net made of the poison ivy, which tangles the/them up, binding their arms to their sides for up to 30 seconds.
*The poison is stronger, still giving them a rather itchy rash while it lasts and possibly making them feel ill or Dizzy while its wrapped around them.

Eternal Sailor Attack:
Poison Ivy Wave.-(Can be used 3 times a day)
*Poison Ivy radiates from her body and dives into the ground. A large green glow comes from the ground as Ivy seems to crawl up out of the ground to form a large wave that washes over an area of no more then 4 attackers in front of her in a circular area of about 6x6. It washes over them trapping them in an ocean like sea of Poison Ivy. They can fight their way out but the poison just makes them itchier the more they fight it. The ivy is not fire resistant and can be cut or hurt by physical means or weapons of some sort.
*They have a chance to become poisoned or ill. Itchiness all over is a possible side effect as well. Very weak monsters will probably be weakened considerably by this attack to the point of almost dieing. Stronger Negaverse baddies may be weakened to the point that their attacks miss more often then not.This can last for about 45 sec.

Thank you i will work on all this now. For her Fuku out fit can i just have the colorist who does it CC it at all? and just put the top and shorts i want her to have? Cause i really don't mind what the rest of it looks like, i am so indecisive and im not too picky, i just know she wants a half shirt and shorts with the boots so i don't mind the rest of it looking how ever the colorist thinks looks awesome. If thats ok. If not i'll find better refs and yes i see the point of Ivy being part of her look more <3 *Works on now*

I'd like to answer your question and give a strong yes! CC elements are usually fine! And it's really fun seeing what the artists cook up. c:

The civilian side looks great! Love it!

The attacks are almost there, but it's just adjustments now - no worries!

For basic and Super, she cannot summon a bow, but she may go through the motions of using one to channel her magic into an arrow shaped group of poison ivy with no problem.

2. The poison would ne... Really at basic an irritant is fine - you really don't want it too strong yet! It would also stop working when the ivy dropped off - it's magic poison, pretty much. c: The 30 second duration looks great! You can probably cut down to 3 uses per day and not be too horribly off - it's the norm.

At Super, it would be fine to up your time yo 45 seconds, I think, and the uses may remain at 3 maximum.

At Eternal you generally can't force a specific level of illness - generally for attacks like this, natural immunities may play a hand, but there would at minimum be 1-2 effects, like nausea and itchiness, ETC. Not too hard to adjust really, just something to keep in mind.

Let me know once things are ready for me to look again! You're doing great so far!

Hey Kisa, sorry it took so long to get back to you - RL rose and decided I have flavr and took a bite out.

I did look over everything - we're down to miniscule things!

I'm afraid even a magic bow wouldn't really work. The concept here is good, however my concern is that it's too far away from her sphere - it feels more like using magic arrows than the poison ivy being the main focus, which is an ideal use of the sphere. The bow itself, I'm afraid, is not okay.

My only other note is simply an interpretation thing and that is that the rash will be gone when the magic ends, and the way it's written now looks like it was continuing after, which is not okay.

I'm sorry for being horribly nitpicky on wording - I just want you to be the best you can possibly be and I know you'll do absolutely great with such a neat character!

Sorry again I took so long - let me know once you've made adjustments and I'll check again! (Hopefully faster this time).

Thanks!

Looks like you worked it in - and the motions and firing from her fingers looks perfectly fine to me - it works for the archery visual and focuses the sphere amazingly!

I love how her sphere attacks look now - just wanted to get them in guidelines with you - and everything looks lots of fun!

OKAY! A GM will be along soon to go over everything with a stamp and/or any further crits! Good luck getting her, can't wait to see her in play!

Hey, Tiger!

Thanks for your patience while I got to this!

The civilian side looks great and Thrud seems like she is going to be a really interesting character! That said, I only have a few things to comment on the powered side! (It looks long because I am wordly and don't know how to not wall of text, but I promise it really isn't much!)

The basic Sailor Scout attack looks great; for the super attack, this is supposed to be more of an upgrade where roughly two aspects of the basic attack are improving (such as duration, usage, strength, etc) but it is reading more like a totally different attack to me. I think to tie the two together, it might help to look at what you like in both the basic and super and try to make them more similar to each other?

For example, in her super attack it doesn't mention anything about the rash, so to link the two together, you could include that after being hit with the net, they develop a rash and additional symptoms?

Additionally, there is a lot going on in the Super attack that doesn't happen in the first one. I think to keep this upgrade fair, it might help to reduce one of the boosts—for example, keep it at thirty seconds, keep the poison at the same strength as basic attack, or limit it to one target per usage. In this instance, I think it might be most effective to keep the duration at thirty seconds rather than forty five (because she has three uses, she could still channel her magic for up to a minute and a half during each battle and would be able to affect six people, total). Because most battles generally only last about five minutes, this would still give her a lot of time to use her magic. Because most battles only last for five minutes though, I think that allowing the weak/uncoordinated/ill/dizzy aspects of the magic last for a minute after the original casting might be too much; these would be good to have while her attackers are trapped in the ivy, but like the rash disappears after released in the basic attack, they should disappear after the ivy releases them in the Super attack.

[Another idea to help tie the attacks together might be to also include that targets might feel uncoordinated or a little ill when wrapped in the ivy in the basic attack? Or, to have her still summon the energy and fire the net as if she was pulling from a bow—except, instead of the 'ivy arrow' it shoots an 'ivy arrow net'?]

For her eternal attack, this looks good! The only thing I might note is that most average youma generally require a few hits—either physical or magical before being dusted. If it is a very weak youma, then it makes sense that an eternal attack could destroy it, but general every-day youma may need a little extra roughing up to dust! For the duration, I think a minute is a long time for a single casting. This would allow three minutes usage in battle; I think limiting the attack to 45 seconds of use at a time might be more reasonable at this stage. Even with the slightly reduced duration, it would allow a strong attack (that can still be used multiple times if she needs to!). One thing I would like to ask is that you say a large wave washes over the area; do the targets become entangled in poison ivy or do the leaves just wash over them and affect them? (If they become entangled, is there a way to break out?)

I am sorry for the wall of text! I think this is a really neat profile and I am very excited to get it stamped, so if you have any questions, comments or make any changes, please quote me and I will be back!

I think i got it all when ever you get a chance to look again hun biggrin
