Welcome to Gaia! ::

1. What development has your character been going through that would lead them to Transcend?
~ Candice was a part of the original 59 in the Surrounding. She had experienced the wonders of space and had, at first, really enjoyed her time there. When she 'died' and came back to life, there was a lot of confusion and questioning: why was she a part of this? The first time she powered up, it only led to more confusion. Candice/Tian knew she was meant to be a part of something bigger, but didn't know what that was. The first time she visited her star, Tian caught a glimpse of how glorious it was and had an urge to bring it back to its former glory.
~ Tian will be (plot wise) traveling back to her stars and learning about both stars (she has a binary star system). There may or may not be others traveling with her. I'd also like to find people she was friends with in her past-lives and see glimpses of the past through visiting others' home star/moon/planets. (In a current RP, she saw a glimpse of something while passing a vase she then presumed was from her stars.)

2. Which of the two paths do you intend for them to take, and why?
~ Energy giving: When she was in the Surrounding, she didn't understand much and couldn't do much. Her coming back to life was part of the reason she chose to get her MD. Candice will be able to help people heal as a civilian, and will want a way to help others as a Senshi (well, gain I guess XD).

3. What events are going to lead up to your character Transcending, and how would their ritual be conducted?
~ Visiting and exploring her stars, both on her own as well as with others
~ Star 1: Tian will seek out pieces of glass that are still in tact. She will find some that shows her glimpses of the past, including a piece that a past!Tian had made. It'll show past-her making something else, something more magical.
~ Star 2: Researching everything and anything she can. The first of her two stars is about seeking out and recording knowledge. Tian will have to find bits and information that still exists. Eventually, she will stumble upon a book that talks about an item forged by a previous Tian that will help future ones understand their star more.
~ Ritual: I think this will be a quest coinciding with the personal item I'd like to get for her. She would need to seek the space in between her two stars. There, Tian will find a hidden space in which holds a series of tasks. Only a reincarnation of Tian will be able to access it. She'll need to able to:
1. Identify which glass flute was made on her star. (One of three)
2. Identify which book wasn't from her star. (One of five)
3. Identify where her hidden symbol is in a mural. (Full circular room)
Once she passes the ritual, she would gain access to her personal item (a glass masquerade mask) as well as transcend.


4. What is your character going to do AFTER Transcending? How will this affect further development as well as their role within the faction?
~ Tian was never a fighter. When in battles, she would defend herself. It usually ended badly for her, and after transcending, Tian would focus on healing others both through what she learned in school as well as providing energy for those in need.
~ I don't know if this is possible, but I would like Transcended Tian to be someone that could help those of Chaos choose to purify. Kind of like a catalyst of sorts? For example, somehow (maybe like a nega vs DMC) a chaos member has their energy drained and experienced how it felt. Tian comes a long and gives some energy which compares the feeling of taking vs giving. It could backfire on Tian, but also possibly sway their Chaos alignment. (( 'kill with kindness' sort of thing :3 ))
