Age: 29

Birthday: March 19th

Sign: Pisces

Gemstone: Aquamarine

Blood Type: O-

Fav. Food: Cucumbers (she loves to put slices of them in her water; it tastes good, AND it's healthy!), Fish, Assorted Subs.

Hated Food: Tomatoes, Fast Food.

School: NA - Amanda works an an ER Nurse, with an on-call schedule that is supposed to be a rotating one.

Hobbies:

Sleeping: When she was younger, she used to be just fine without sleeping. She could go out, party hard and wild, come home for a two hour nap before running to classes for the day. But now? Amanda just can't get enough sleep. Every moment she can and wants to, she will. Her on-call-but-rotating status at the Hospital leaves her with very unusual sleeping patterns, and she makes up for it by having the cat-like ability to nap anywhere given the opportunity. While this is usually limited to her own time in her apartment, it does on the rare occasion happen outside of her home as well; usually at libraries or friend's houses, if they let her. The one place she will never sleep at would be the Hospital.

Movie / TV Buff: When she isn't sleeping, Gardening, or out with her friends, Amanda is curled up at home in her oversized housecoat and a hot tea, watching TV or renting movies through said TV. Her schedule keeps her from consistently catching some shows, but that was why TiVo was invented. Thank god for TiVo, as there has been more than one occasion she'd sleep through a show simply for being comfortable. On the whole she doesn't much care for the news; she gets those updates through the more chatty patients, but she does have a soft spot for reality shows and psychological thrillers.

Gardening: It's difficult to Garden when you live in an apartment, but Amanda manages to pull it off fairly decently. Her Balcony is home to many flower pots, mostly housing seasonal flowers, cucumbers and tomatoes, despite her dislike of them. A coworker of hers loves them, and thus they get passed off when they are ready. Gardening is just another small, mindless thing she can do to keep herself relaxed between shifts at work.

Cooking: More or less a fan of healthy foods, Amanda does take joy in cooking. When she cooks she makes way more than she should, and fills many a tupperware container for later lunch (or dinner, if she's too tired to cook) goodness.


Virtues:

Are you okay?! - Altruism: Amanda doesn't stay with this job for the pay and certainly not for the hours. She stays with it because she honestly wants to help others. Outside of being in the health care profession, Amanda does donate to Charities and food drives when she can, though she can never promise the time to be able to physically help out.

Way ahead of you! - Adroit: She is always on the ball - especially at work, or even situations outside of work where her medical experiences are required. She knows where everything is, how to get to it, and the best way to execute certain procedures. She'll hear there is a patient with a deep cut and she'll be there with gauze and the suture kits. She works well under pressure, and it shows.

Keeping up appearances - Self-Pride: She takes care of herself and prides herself on what she does. When she does go out, even in the short time it takes to get to the hospital or just to the store, she dresses very well. Even if she is sitting at home in baggy clothes for movie time, if she needs to get up and run an errand, she'll change into something nicer, put up her hair, brush her teeth and maybe touch up her (or put on a touch of) makeup.

Flaws:

Who are you, again? - Horrible with Names: Faces and situations are her forte; names, not so much. She sees so many people it is hard to keep up with the names; but if they were injured, and she helped them, she'll remember them, but not the name. When checking in on patients she relies on their information sheets to find their names. If approached on the street she will either ask questions to get them to say their own name, or find ways around having to say a name to them; this has her referring to people as 'hun' or 'sweetie' often. It takes something striking to remember someone's name after meeting them for the first time; other than that she relies on constant visits to drive the name into her skull.

No Thanks, I'll Stay in. - Homebody: More often than not she prefers to stay at home. Hectic work and odd schedules leave her with the need to just sit back and relax. She can be coerced into going out and sometimes the bug to get up and do something in town does strike her, but on the whole she'd rather stay in and watch her shows. This makes it pretty difficult for her to actively go out and meet other people, and probably explains why she is almost thirty and single.

I'll tell you what I think - Snarky/Mouthy: While she keeps an air of professionalism with her Patients and Coworkers, if you get close to her she will let you know when something doesn't sit right with her. She tries to live by the 'a proper time and place for everything' with her confrontations, but she is human and sometimes she does make mistakes. If she can't find the time and place with the person in question, she'll treat them with cool detachment and instead tell a friend, or gossip quietly between someone she trusts and who she knows either agrees with her, or will keep it secret...at least until that 'proper time and place' is found or given.

How Many Powered Characters Do You Own? TWO LOVELY ONES

Link to Quest Thread: HERE

Name: Elizabeth "Betty" Graver

Nickname: Betty Graver to the public, Lizzy to close friends. Sometimes also called Ms Gray.

Age: 28

Birthday: August 1

Sign: Leo

Gemstone: Diamond

Blood Type: AB

Fav. Food: Her mother's cooking! Betty adores Asian food, which is her mother's specialty.

Hated Food: Overly greasy food. Food with fats is okay once in a while, but Betty is squicky about those with visible fat, and likes tearing off, for example, the fats in a KFC fried chicken.

Occupation: Talk Show Host of "The Grey Area"

Hobbies:
Cartoons -- Even as Betty is a grown up adult now, she still enjoys watching cartoons, and argues that cartoons are for everyone. Cartoon physics have always intrigued her, a prime example being Looney Tunes' Roadrunner series. She is fond of wacky old cartoon shorts and loves tuning in to the channel Boomerang from Cartoon Network.

Reading fantasy books -- Books with a fantasy setting are Betty's favorite. They have always drawn her in with magic and things thought impossible in reality, which is probably why she was interested in the Senshi and Negaverse, because they proved that such situations exist.

The Grey Area -- Betty's talk show is her life. What she does mostly are because of it; reading news to find out the latest monster attacks and skirmishes between the Senshi and Negaverse, keeping a ear out for gossip, and coming up with new topics for her next sessions.

Gemstone: Diamond

Virtues:

Confident -- Without confidence, Betty would have never been who she is today. She is always full of vigor on and off the show, and is very self-assured with her own success. She knows that her show is a hit with Destiny City, and always aims to bring the best to her show. Betty has faith in her own ideas; hey, she came up with "The Grey Area", theme, title and all! Even when producers she talked to were not keen on it eventually, she persevered, and with the growing number of cases in Destiny City about the Senshi and Negaverse, she was given a shot, and she made good use of it.

Creative -- Creative thinking is another piece to the puzzle that brought Betty to being a talk show host. As said above, the show she hosts was originally her own idea, after seeing the increasing number of debates that were going on about the situation in Destiny City. She comes up with each week's topic herself, and allows both the live audience and the public to call in to express their thoughts about the topic at hand.

Warm -- Betty always wants to be the sun of the show, to bring warmth and understanding to the people of Destiny City. She often sympathizes with the audience's thoughts and as the show grew to be more popular, she set up a charity called "The Grey Area Gives" for not only herself, but the public too, to donate and help those who have been hurt in the ongoing battles in Destiny City.

Flaws:

I want it my way -- Being too confident is never a good thing; and Betty is that. She is overly-confident in her own ideas, and believes that she does what is best for her show. Thus, she is not very open to ideas posed to her by colleagues about what she should do on her show. She is incredibly protective of her own show, and she'll run it her way. She thinks herself perfectly capable of organizing it and all the details, and sometimes come across as pushy and bossy this way. As such, Betty is always busy, with responsibilities she puts upon her own shoulders.

Busy Little Bee -- Betty is an incredibly busy woman. Every living, breathing moment seems to be dedicated to work, and friends have found that she's extremely hard to catch hold of for shopping trips or even just hanging out together. Friends have also discovered that it's easy to lose contact with her; it's not that Betty's not sociable, it's just that she always seems to be terribly busy.

Takes No Stand -- One feature of Betty that is clear to everyone who watches her show is that she doesn't exactly side with the Senshi or Negaverse. She doesn't believe you can properly separate both into good and evil, black and white, which is also how the name for the show came about. It can get pretty annoying to viewers, and many have asked her about which side she sides with, but to no avail.
(Some speculate it is because she is afraid that if she speaks about which side she is on, the other will hunt her down.)

This doesn't only apply to the Senshi and Negaverse; Betty's not very good with siding with anyone at all. If two people argue, she is able to point out the flaws and virtues in each person's argument, but never voices out which side is best. She believes both are wrong and they should both apologize to each other.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Eyes: Brown, almond shaped eyes; she has double eyelids.

Hair: Betty has long wavy Rose Red hair which she likes to either side braid, leave down, or partly braid. (Have fun with her hairstyle!)

Face: Betty has a small face shape, which she has inherited from her mother. (She's half-Asian.)

Clothes: Something office chic? She also adores black heels. CREATIVE LIBERTY GO~

Name: Iolani Kempf

Nickname: Lani

Age: 19

Birthday: June 23

Sign: Cancer

Gemstone: Ruby

Blood Type: B

Fav. Food: Grilled salmon with pineapple, teriyaki glaze. YUM.

Hated Food: Anything made from quadruped meat. Cows, Sheep, Pigs, Deer, Rabbits, etc. are way too cute to kill and eat, mmkay? ;A;

School: Sovereign Heights Preparatory School

Hobbies:
Roll to See if I'm Getting Drunk! - Lani's been gaming since she was 10. And unlike most gamers she didn't start off with D&D. No, her very first game was a particularly weird Werewolf: The Apocalypse campaign. She played a were-lizard. She remembers it was fun. From there, she branched out into Shadowrun, Call of Cthulhu and Warhammer. But it wasn't until she was 15 that she stumbled into the blissful brainchild of Gary Gygax, Dungeons and Dragons. Each of her characters is a carefully planned out seed that grows over the course of each campaign and culminates in a beautiful child by the time the game ends. Sometimes she'll play other games, but it always ends up feeling as if she's cheating on her lover and she'll run right back to D&D, hugging her sourcebook tight and promising never to stray so far again.

And They Lived Happily Ever After - Books are Lani's greatest treasure and each worn, dog-earred paperback she owns is a dear, dear friend. Lani will spend HOURS reading, getting blissfully lost in each world and the lives of its inhabitants. Had a bad day? Lani's cure is a fluffy blanket, a mug of hot potato soup and a copy of Dune. Feeling bored? Curl up in the window and get lost in Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. In Lani's world, every book is a friend. Except for Twilight. Her literary soul snarls and shrivels a little every time she sees the cover to that housewife spankfest at the local book store.

Riddle Me This - Riddles, crosswords puzzles, word games, logic puzzles, these serve to sharpen Lani's mind and she prides herself on how quickly she can usually finish one. She knows she's intelligent. Her games and puzzles help to prove this to anyone who might doubt her mental might.

Virtues:
Explain It to the Newbie! - Got questions? Concerns? Just don't get what the book, GM or Prof was trying to explain? Well, have no fear! Lani can take rules, formulas, theorums and translate them to simple, plain English. Need someone to explain turns or class merits to the new guy in the game? Drag Lani over and have her sit down with him. Not only will she explain things in such a way that a halfwit would grasp, she will go the extra mile and guide him through the process to ensure that he can apply what he's learned. And she will not lose her temper once should extra explanations be needed. She will just go at the problem from a different angle, remaining sweetly patient until an understanding is reached. Let's face it, Lani is one of life's natural Teachers.

Knowing is Half the Battle! - Learning has always come easily to Lani. She rarely requires more than one explanation or demonstration to get something set in her brain. Granted, she's not the best at every possible subject, and she knows it. However, this doesn't stop her from giving her best and gleaning as much information as possible from the lesson. She's been on the Honor Roll every year since 5th grade and she's in the top 10% of her class. However, Calculus still makes her want to cry sometimes. If you want to see where she really excels, sit in on her English and History classes sometime, particularly the History classes that deal with ancient battles or civilizations. And if you want to know where she devotes the majority of her intellect to, sit in on a gaming session. Lani soaks up information and is not at all adverse to spouting it back out when there's a need.

Yo Man, I Got This One - When Lani knows the answer or feels that she's on familiar ground, she can be aggressively self-assured. She knows she's right, by Cthulhu! and no one is going to argue her down. She doesn't rely on the opinions of outsiders or even her friends to validate herself. She's willing to stand on her own and take the accolades or falls as they come.

Flaws:
I Can't Leave! I Have Game Tonight! - To put it kindly, Lani is a shut in. She has shunned our warm and kindly mother star. She refuses to leave her room for anything less than an emergency. Or to go gaming at a friend's. Okay, she goes out to buy groceries too. But that's it! If she doesn't have to leave home, she won't. This has left her with... well... a somewhat skewed social life. She's not necessarily agoraphobic, she just prefers to not leave the comforts of home. After all, she has the internet for her clothing needs and a tidy little trust fund from her parents keeps her from having to brave the real world for a job. Outside of the classroom or her small group of friends, Lani has no idea how to act or behave or even FUNCTION out in the real world. Her life is her books, her puzzles and her D&D sessions. She's spent so much time in the realm of the fantastical and the intellectual, that people out in the real world confound the hell out of her. Among her friends, she can be open, smiling, charming. However, put her out amongst John Q. Public and she freezes like a deer in headlights.

Lani will sweat, shiver and damn near hyperventilate if forced to deal with people she doesn't know. Only the familiarity of school and the grocery store keep her from bolting when confronted by someone. If forced into an unfamiliar place with total strangers, Lani is scoping out the nearest exits and plotting ways to get to them with minimal contact with other people. She tends to expect people to be on the same mental and emotional wavelength she's riding. And when they aren't, when she's confronted with those who are stupid or petty or overly emotional or willfully ignorant, she bolts. And if for some reason she cannot escape, she resorts to sarcasm or jokes that no one outside of a basement geek mentality would get. Anything that will get those awful people to leave her alone and let her go.

It's All Bluster, Baby - This is Lani. This is Lani's brain when she doesn't know the answer. Please be prepared for blustery fits and squalls of uncertainty. If you thought Lani was bad when she knows the answer, wait until she doesn't. Then, you too may witness the mother of all temporizing snits, tear bright eyes and frantic smiles as she tries so desperately to force the topic of conversation back to something she knows.

My Rose-Tinted Goggles Have a +5 Against Reality - Tying into her I Can't Leave flaw, Lani's disconnectedness from the majority of people, her inability to truly function in the real world has led her to build up some rather elaborate inner fantasies for herself. More and more she will find herself thinking in terms of What would 'insert character name here' do? rather than What will I do?. She tends to lump the people she doesn't know into D&D categories of Lawful, Neutral, Chaotic, with no room for grays or qualifiers. She truly and with all her heart believes that the outside world follows the same basic codes of honor and behavior that she finds in her games. And when it's driven home to her that they don't, she falls apart, scrambling to repair her rose tints and set her world back in order.


PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Eyes: Lani's eyes are her best feature and are a lovely, vibrant shade of pinkish-purple and are almond shaped with long, dark lashes. She also has thick, very slightly curved eyebrows.

Hair: Since Lani doesn't get out much, she's learned to trim her own dead and split ends off. However, because she never does more than trim only when needed, her hair has reached to mid thigh. Her hair is fairly straight, thick and is that lovely bright blue-green you only seem to see in the tropics. It also fades from darker (roots) to lighter (ends). She tends to prefer wearing it either up in a sort of side ponytail or in a single thick braid.

Face: Lani has a heart shaped face with a cute, slightly upturned nose. Also, due to her avoidance of the sun, her skin isn't just fair, it's white. It ******** glows in the moonlight! Oh, and she has freckles.

Clothes: N/A

Senshi Alias: Sailor Duna

Senshi Element: The Oasis

Challenge: Your evil will find no shelter here!

Attacks:
Sailor Scout Attack: Sheltering Palm
[What it does] Sailor Duna lifts her arms above her head and the aspect of a transparent, glowing palm tree with Duna acting as part of the trunk appears. Following the span of three turns, it will refresh the energy of any ally within a 20 foot radius, allowing them one extra attack. Duna will only be able to refresh starter attacks.
[Weakness] While Duna is using this attack, she is terribly vulnerable to attacks from outside. While the 'tree' will shield her from some damage, she can still be hurt and her own attack brought to an early end.

Super Sailor Scout Attack: Caravan Crossroads
[What it does] Duna still takes on the aspect of a palm tree, however, besides refreshing her allies, it also now acts as a beacon for any other allies in the area, creating a glowing mirage of an oasis to draw them in. The mirage beacon lasts for 2 turns. The normal effects from Sheltering Palm will carry over.
[Weakness] While Duna is using this attack, she is terribly vulnerable to attacks from outside. While the 'tree' will shield her from some damage, she can still be hurt and her own attack brought to an early end. .

Eternal Sailor Attack: Sweet Springs Flow
[What it does] Duna kneels and touches the ground. Around the feet of her allies, a small, silvery, glowing spring will burble out of the ground at their feet... (Still working on her eternal attack)
[Weakness] Duna must remain touching the ground for at least 1 turn. This does leaves her vulnerable to attack and interruption if she is forced to move before that turn is up.

SECTION ONE

Name: Lysander Cadwell

Nicknames: Ly, Caddie (no golf damn it)

Gender: Male

Age: 18

Birthday: October 31st

Sign: Scorpio

School: Sovereign Heights Prep

Fav. Food: Artichoke hearts dipped in lemon-herb butter (which is impossible to get in a school cafeteria I'll have you know!)

Hated Food: Chocolate. Even more so -filled- chocolate. Ruining perfectly good filling flavors by stuffing them in nasty ground seed paste.

Hobbies:

• Scrabble -- Totally not a 'cool' hobby but that doesn't change the fact that he's got three different editions of the official Scrabble dictionary tucked away in his room. He always liked words and got into competing in spelling bee's as a child. Once he was old enough to not chew on pieces or loose them his parents introduced him to the wonderful world of Scrabble and he's been addicted ever sense. He played in tournaments while in high school but has had to take a break from that because of preparing for collage. It's more important to him to focus on his schoolwork than scrabble tournaments. He does still like to play tournament style when he plays just for the extra challenge.
  
  
• Psychology -- After you've written a thesis paper on a subject you'd call it a hobby too >( (and no don't ask why he wrote his thesis already. He's not a freak, really). Lysander wants to be a Psychologist when he's done with college and absolutely loves the subject. He's fascinated by how people's minds work and with how complicated the human mind can be. He likes studying how people can be influenced by outside forces on an emotional level and how nature vs nurture influences development. His classes Sovereign Heights are all geared toward a major in Psychology when he transfers, hopefully, to DCU. He plans on becoming a behavioral psychologist (he wrote his thesis on nature vs nurture)
  
  
• People Watching -- Associated with his above love of Psychology Lysander will go to the mall just to sit on a bench (with a good supply of Starbucks of course) and watch whoever happens to walk by. He thinks you can learn a lot about people by what they do when they believe everyone is watching them. He doesn't really do this officially as a study, unless he's working on schoolwork, and it's more of a casual thing. To him it's a good way to relax and learn at the same time. He prefers to spend his people watching time alone but will occasionally take a good friend or two along.
  
  
• Fashion -- Ly -loves- fashion. Keeping up with the latest styles of anything is practically a full time job for him. He reads ever fashion magazine like it's a bible and actually spends time cross referencing them with each other to find out what -really- is the height of fashion at the time. His out of school clothes and any accessories with his uniform are tell-tale signs of his obsession (which is the plague of his trust fund). He doesn't generally stick to any one designer over another but if he -had- to pick it would be Versace.

Virtues:

• "Hey Preacher Man..." Passionate -- Having been raised to believe that the only way to change something is to stand up for it Lysander is extremely passionate about his beliefs. If he'd been born in the 60's he would have been right there putting daises in loaded rifles without batting an eye. He is willing to stand up for what he believes in do or die and believes everyone else should do the same. He has no qualms about standing on the proverbial soapbox and telling everyone within earshot what is on his mind and what should be done about it. His parents taught him from a early age to stand up for what you believed in because if no one stands up nothing changes. Both of his parents were big activists involved in civil rights (making -everyone- equal and getting rid of labels based on gender, race, religion, etc), animal rights, and environmentalism. He grew up holding onto his father's leg while his father held up signs and yelled out protests. He doesn't really do much thinking about if people will follow him. Of course they will Note: See "Hubris what now?" flaw for why he thinks people will follow him.
  
• "Don't you want to say you were there?" Magnetic -- Because Lysander is often right in the front of the line for things and very vocal about issues many people are drawn to him. Most of them just to say they were then when inevitably something blows up in his face but some because they truly believe he can make a difference. He is often the leader that others stand behind because he's just so vocal and passionate about things that you just can't but think that he -is- right and -can- do what he says. He is very good at speaking on issues from an emotional angle, tugging on heart strings and the like, because he believes he's right so much. His biggest gripe is Civil Rights for everyone. He's very outspoken about making everyone equal because his father was always very outspoken about the same issue. He does join protests on a regular basis when one comes through town and likes getting the proverbial soap box and making speeches to rile up the other protesters.Note: While this makes him a good leader type it also has a -major- draw back. See "Why isn't that -me-" in the flaws section for details
  
• "I've been working on this for six years" Dedicated -- Once he has set his mind something he will see it through to the end no matter what the end may be. There is no half way with Lysander and he has his favorite Quote (Yoda's famous "Do or Do Not, there is no Try" tattooed round his ankle. He truly believes in the motto too. He never 'tries' something. He does it and he does it until he's gone as far as humanly possible. Currently this is focused on his desire to become a psychologist. He's already written a basic version of his masters thesis even though he's got years until he gets there.

Flaws:

• "Hubris what now?" Obstinate -- Lysander thinks he's right. All the time. What's the point of believing or doing something if it's not right, right? He tends to trample over other people's opinions if they don't agree with him or just outright ignores that they had an opinion at all. This usually results if others not sharing their opinion with him and letting him run himself straight into trouble hoping (vainly) that it will teach him a lesson and make him change his mind.
  
• "Why isn't that -me-"." Jealous -- If you have it and he doesn't Lysander wants it and most likely hates you for it. He might never say it to your face but inside he's wishing all sorts of doom and gloom on your happiness. He wants to be the one in the spotlight and hates it when other people are recognized over him. He -hates- loosing more than anything else and he takes competitions to the extreme. Note: This effects Sailor Arachne's ability to work in a team environment. He will not take being 'second banana' to anyone and if he's not in charge well you can just forget him helping.
  
• "Temper, temper." Anger Management needed -- When Lysander gets angry, and he can get that way pretty easily, he is a force to be reckoned with and not in a good way. His anger makes him completely irrational and he is prone to lash out (mostly verbally) against those around him including friends if they're in the wrong place at the wrong time. Once you make Lysander angry it is -very- hard to get him to forgive you. He just does not take anything lightly and will hold onto a grudge well past when it's necessary. Generally once you've aroused his anger he seethes quietly behind a smile and plots your demise. He gets so attached to his views and ideals that seeing someone going against those views grates against his temper. Note: This heavily effects Sailor Arachne. Loosing in battle = humiliation to Lysander and if/when he meets that opponent again he is very likely to make stupid decisions in trying to avenge his defeat

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Eyes: Sharp, intense, and penetrating. More oval in shape than round. Bright fiery red-orange in color

Hair: Black with a glossy red-orange tint. Short but -never- messy, trendy/cute

Face: Full lips, delicate facial structure

Body: long-limbed and lanky

Fashion:

At Home: Cargo pants and light t-shirts that are battered to the the point of being fluffy and soft and nothing he'd ever be seen in public in (They're not fashionable and he's not allowed to look frumpy in public).

At School: Neat and trimmed. He irons his uniform -every- morning without fail. He does like to add his own touches with flashy watches and simple yet decorative rings.

At Play: Whatever happens to be in fashion at the time. He keeps up with the heights of fashion like a maniac and always has a new outfit and new shoes and new -everything-.

Sailor Scout: Clean lines, slick, and debonair. Oh, did we mention he -loves- Victorian era clothing? No? Well now you know.

Senshi Alias: Sailor Arachne

Senshi Element: Spiders

Challenge: The only thing you have to fear ... is me!

Attacks: Attack #1 - Arachne Web, Protect!
[Arachne crosses his arms over his chest for a moment before holding his arm out he moves them in an arch and a shimmering web of energy forms in front of him. Note: The wall is meant to block or absorb enemy attacks but it can only take one hit before dissolving. It can be used once in battle.]

• Duration: Instantaneous upon attack's release. Lasts until hit then it dissolves.
  
• Avoidable: It is a single, slightly bowed, wall and easy to walk around
  
• Downside: The shield is only good for one hit and the hit can come from either side. Enemies can not attack though and Senshi attacks can also not pass through without destroying the web. The shield is destroyed no matter what by physical weapons. Very strong magical attacks have a chance of partially getting through Note: For the attack to get through the opponent must be at least a Super Senshi or Nega Captain. The attack then deals half the damage it would normally.

Attack #1a - Arachne Web, Shield!
[Arachne crosses his arms over his chest and the hourglass gems in the spiders on his bracelets lights up. Holding his arms out he moves them in an arch and a shimmering web of energy forms a dome over him and extends out to a 5ft radius. Note: The wall is meant to block or absorb enemy attacks.; This attack can take two smaller hits or completely block one large hit.]

• Duration: Instantaneous upon attack's release. Lasts until it absorbs max damage then dissolves..
  
• Avoidable: Not if you're within range
  
• Downside: The shield blocks incoming and outgoing attacks. Anyone inside the dome can not attack those outside without destroying the shield. Note: The shield can take two hits from Super Senshi/Captians or below, the first hit is completely blocked and the second (if magical) deals half damage. The shield can only take one hit from an Eternal Senshi or Nega General.

Not sure which of these to use. It will depend on which one gets okayed in the end:
Attack #2 - Widow's Kiss V1
[....]

• Duration:Five minuets. Effects slowly wear off as the time lapses. Can only be done once per battle.
  
• Avoidable: Arachne must touch an enemy with his hands for the attack to succeed. Stay out of range and you stay out of danger.
  
• Downside: Arachne must get close enough to an enemy to touch them for the attack to work. This leaves him extremely vulnerable to attack himself.
  
• Venom Effects:For the first thirty seconds (one post) enemies are rendered completely paralyzed by the pain of the bite. The venom seems to drain enemies abilities, sapping their strength and magic energy, while under it's effects. Attacks are impossible to make (in the case of abilities that need a lot of strength/energy) or are weaker than normal. Strength/energy slowly returns over the course of the poisoning. Note: The effects are not permanent and wear off over time. The complete time span is 4 posts of effects (one paralyzed and three with efffects) with strength returning with each post. By the 5th post affected opponents are returned to their state before being bitten

Attack #2 - Widow's Kiss V2
[....]

• Duration:Five minuets. Effects slowly get worse off as the time lapses. Can only be done once per battle.
  
• Avoidable: Arachne must touch an enemy with his hands for the attack to succeed. Stay out of range and you stay out of danger.
  
• Downside: Arachne must get close enough to an enemy to touch them for the attack to work. This leaves him extremely vulnerable to attack himself.
  
• Venom Effects:For the first thirty seconds (one post) enemies are unaware of the effects of the bite. The venom slowly drains enemies abilities, sapping their strength and magic energy, while under it's effects. Attacks slowly become harder to maintain or impossible, in the case of attacks that need large amounts of energy, until the venom renders the effected opponent paralyzed. Note: The effects are not permanent and wear off over time. The complete time span is 4 posts of effects (one without effect and 3 as the effects get worse) On the 5th post the effected individual is is rendered completely paralyzed. The paralysis wears off after about five minuets.

• What's in a Name? -- Lysander is a Greek name meaning "One who is Freed". I intended this to be able to play into his character as he will be 'freed' of his fears.
  
• What's in a Sign? -- The Scorpio, another arachnid and Lysander's zodiac, sign plays heavily on his personality. Scorpio is a feminine sign and while Lysander isn't quite 'girly' he's not exactaly Mr. Man either. All his virtues and flaws come directly from basic qualities of a Scorpio

Hobbies:
Running his arcade - A job can be a hobby if you absolutely adore it and Corey most definately loves his. The sounds, the smells, the people, the atmosphere, and just about everything about his job make him very happy so he is there A LOT. People would call him a workaholic.. well.. if it looked like he was ever actually working while at work....

Laser tag - Blaring techno, blinding strobes, fog, and blinking enemy to the right!!! Nothing gets Corey's blood pumping more than a good game of laser tag. When he was in highschool he used to enter tournaments for fun and money but now he just loves it for love of the game. He's a darn good shot and if you're playing in his particular maze he's near unbeatable.

Chit chatting - Being so gregarious Corey just LOVES to talk. To pretty much anyone, pretty much anywhere. He'll strike up conversations in lines with strangers or chat a friend's ear off and he often has to be shushed in movies. He's a decent listener but he really seems to love his own voice.



Virtues:
Friendly - Corey is prodominately a smiley, jovial, and happy go lucky individual. He'll always offer a greeting and conversation to anyone that comes into his place or even to random people on the street. His contentment with life seems to mold his personality making him gregarious and pleasant, able to take even some of the surliest personalities with a grain of salt. His Facebook friends are well into the triple digits.

Young at heart - Like a child Corey is optimistic, friendly, hopeful, and full of energy. He lives life full of enthusiasm and gets along well with children and young adults. His view on life is fairly innocent and occasionally naive.

Handy - Corey has a knack for figuring out how things work, at least on a rudimentary level. He's a good problem solver and is very good with his hands. Out of curiousity and necessity he's learned to tinker with minor repairs around the arcade and home and he has some carpentry skills. He's certainly no genius in any of it, but he's handy in a lot of different situations.



Flaws:
Penny pincher - After almost seven years of working his a** off to save up enough to open his own arcade (with kickass indoor laser tag facility and mini golf course) Corey has become exceptionally tight with money. He's got bills to pay after all, rent and electricity bills for an arcade aren't cheap! Unfortunately he has a tendency to take it to an extreme. He tries his best to never pick up tabs, checks for change on the ground and in machines constantly, eats junky food and overwears clothing just to save a few bucks. If allowed he'll happily mooch a friend to death, but if he's spending his own money he's all about thrift. Don't even bother asking for refunds or donations.

Enabler - Corey worked long and hard to achieve what he wanted in life and believes everyone else should have the same contentment and joy of having their dream, not matter what that dream seems to be. Because he experienced the pain of people challenging his dream he detests the thought of ever being a buzzkill to anyone else. Want to ditch school so you can focus on becoming a hardcore gaming wizard? He'll turn a blind eye to the fact you're in his arcade during school hours and cheer you on! This leads to terrible advice giving and often makes him a horrible adult role model for impressionable and/or reckless youths. Responsible for others he is not.

What is personal space? - You mean you don't want him all up in your business...? ... Does not compute! The concept of a space bubble, both physically and emotionally escapes Corey. Nothing is too personal for him to talk about or ask about in his opinion, and he seems geniunely confused when people get uptight about him touching them, or peering over their shoulder from mere inches. Solitary people can get uncomfortable very easily in his presence, and even friends can sometimes feel invaded upon by his presence.
