Blood Type: Probably bleeds glitter. Who knows.

Fav. Food: Starseeds

Hated Food: Unknown

Hobbies:

Preening - No. Really. This is Fizzby’s favorite thing to do. Any reflective surface, whether it be a particularly shiny crystal or water or a mirror will be his new favorite spot for the next few hours as he meticulously goes over his appearance, making sure everything is perfect, from the fluff of his body to the shape of his eyebrows to the curl of his antennae and the shape of his wings. A part of it is simply that he’s pretty meticulous, but most of it is that he enjoys admiring himself. What’s not to love about being him, after all? Have you seen him? That glorious pink and yellow body, the delicately poised antennae, the luster of his exoskeleton? He loves every inch of himself and isn’t afraid to take the time to appreciate it.

Pestering People - Fizzby’s favorite thing to do besides admire himself is to try and get other people to admire him, and he will follow officers around trying to get their attention specifically for this purpose. Whether or not his presence is actually wanted doesn’t particularly matter, and though he can be sent running with enough of a threat or a lashing out, he’ll simply find someone else to pester or find his way back to the person who just ran him off. It’s almost a game to him, to see just how much he can get someone to focus on him rather than whatever else they’re doing.

Virtues:

Cheerful - Fizzby is a generally a very happy youma. He loves himself, he loves what he is, and he doesn’t let things bother him much. He’s quick to smile, quick to be excited, quick to find joy in whatever he’s doing. He’s very difficult to upset or bring down, and will generally snap back to his default state rapidly even once he has been upset. There’s so much to be happy about and to celebrate, himself not the least among them. Why linger on things that will only waste your time when you can enjoy the better things in life?

Determined - As a rule, Fizzby does not give up easily. Once he gets an idea into his head, or if he’s given an order to fulfill, he’ll do whatever he can to reach that goal. This is, admittedly, mostly because he focuses on what might be a reward for him afterward, but nonetheless it gives him a certain resistance to failure. What doesn’t work the first time might work the second, or the third, or the fourth or seventh or sixteenth. In short, he doesn’t see giving up as an option, and will keep trying until he achieves what he’s set out to do, no matter how long it might take him.

Affectionate - Anyone who is actually tolerant of his tendency toward pestering, or who agrees that he is all of the things he believes himself to be - or if they just catch his attention enough times - will quickly find themselves with a very affectionate youma. He thrives off of attention, after all, and as a result he’s free with affection because being nice to the people that are nice to him tends to pay off for everyone. He’s free with hugs and will attempt to help the people he likes look their best (so long as they don’t outshine him), provide little gifts if they’re something he doesn’t already want, and generally prone to doting on those that show him the most patience and genuine affection in whatever form comes to his mind at the moment.

Flaws:

Self-Absorbed - As is probably obvious by now, Fizzby is a very vain, shallow creature. He thrives off of admiration, thinks he’s the most beautiful thing in the world, and will do anything to feed his own ego. He’s great, he’s amazing, he’s beautiful and smart and sexy and anyone would be lucky to get to look upon him and be in his company. And in his mind, he’s absolutely convinced that’s the view everyone else has of him, too. Any sign of dislike or aggravation can be explained away, any attempts to shoo him off or do anything other than admire him don’t register to him as anything but a particularly unique way of showing him affection. Even when he’s doing a task at someone else’s behest, he can and will interpret it as them simply wanting to see his skill in action. And who is he to begrudge them that most wonderful opportunity?

Annoying - Given his self-absorbed, cheerful, determined nature and his tendency to follow people around and try to get them to admire him, is it any wonder that Fizzby comes across as extremely aggravating? He’s a nuisance, a pest, and the sort of pest that does not stop. And perhaps the most frustrating aspect of it all is that he doesn’t even register just how annoying he can be - or if he does, he doesn’t care, because he’s charming and amazing and everyone loves him anyway, right? He will bother and pester and completely ignore any and all signs he’s unwanted or being aggravating, cheerfully pushing past boundaries and making a complete nuisance of himself. Woe to those who catch his eye, because once he’s noticed someone, good luck shaking him off.

Possessive - Once Fizzby likes you, you’re his, and he doesn’t give up things that he sees as his. This does include people, and if he thinks anyone is going to take someone or something away from him, he will get fussy and irritated, clinging all the tighter to what he thinks is threatened. He doesn’t take kindly to any sort of attention being lost, and since he equates losing those he’s attached to, even temporarily, to losing their attention, he ends up getting clingy and possessive. And woe betide anyone who seems to be leading someone’s attention away from him, for there will be much angry squeaking, and probably glitter in your face.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Image here!

Eyes: Spectacular

Hair: None

Face: Elegant, with the most lovely eyebrows imaginable.

Clothes: Fashionable and convenient.
----

Physical Ability: Wings - while he cannot truly fly, due to being too heavy for his wings to lift him easily he can use his wings to glide over distances. This glide can be held for up to one minute if it’s in a perfectly straight line, but grows progressively shorter the more adjustments he needs to make for direction. And if, for some reason, he starts to flap his wings - say to use his magic attack - he will fall then and there.

Magical Ability: Glitterdust - when threatened or provoked, Fizzby can flutter his wings rapidly and release a bright pink-and-gold glittery substance that irritates the eyes and throat if it’s breathed in, causing temporary vision trouble, eye pain and watery eyes not unlike a magical pepper spray. The effects last for around thirty seconds, after which it all fades away.

Name: Macsen

Nicknames: No.

Hobbies:

If it fits, I sits. At one point in a distant part of his life this might have been something akin to yoga-- finding a comfortable position, no matter how uncomfortable it might appear visibly to others, and tapping in to a moment of zen. Perhaps it's part of why Macsen, whoever he was before, took on a more feline appearance as a youma. Perhaps it's just coincidence. No matter the reason, finding places to perch in one pose or another is something that Macsen enjoys greatly.

Soothes the beast... Macsen enjoys listening to music. If given a moment of his own time he can sometimes be found lurking outside of venues in the art district, hoping to catch a glimpse of something from the buildings within. Macsen has been known to return to the Rift with music playing devices that he's liberated during ventures topside-- mp3 players, an old walkman.... Anything to connect him to the sounds of music.

Virtues:

Stoic - No matter the circumstances, Macsen maintains his composure, ready and willing to endure without voicing complaint. This trait, once something that made him solid as a rock, supportive and dedicated in his previous life, has made him the ideal youma for accompanying an impulsive officer.

Protective - At some point in his life before Macsen might have had a family, or someone he was close to-- someone he considered important enough to keep safe. Now it isn't just being commanded to do so that keeps him true to looking out for those under his care that keeps him on task, it's the strong feeling that doing so is right because it's what he's always done.

Flaws:

Aloof - Macsen is entirely uninterested in most things, sometimes to the point of expressing distaste in the form of narrowed eyes and other disgruntled looks. This cool, distant demeanor may be a nod to his stone-like appearance, or it could simply be a way that the man he once was kept himself safe.

Self-Justifying - The ends justify the means. Whatever he has to do to justify his actions he will, especially providing doing so nets results that fall in line with the orders he's been given. Nothing is off limits. Nothing.


-----

Appearance: Bulky, muscular; a looming, protective presence. Think a wingless gargoyle with feline attributes (Ref). Coat coloration is that of a silver tabby, more black than silver with the occasional teal/blue highlight. A spattering of crystals have grown here and there, creating a look almost like a pauldron in appearance (Ref)

Youma Ability #1: Vanish Point - While in a resting position/lying still, Macsen is able to render themselves invisible. If they move slowly while invisible it is possible to see their outline or notice the 'distortion' of the background behind them, as though being viewed through a water droplet on a window. Any quick or sudden movement, such as attacking or running, will break the invisibility. Can only be used once per encounter.

Youma Ability #2: Stone Skin - The crystals embedded in Macsen's skin begin to glow and during that time he seems impervious to harm in that magic attacks aren't as effective and physical blows seem to require twice the effort to make a dent. Can only be used once per encounter. Duration 30 seconds.


Macsen does not have a backstory. He does not remember anything about the life he lead before. He is a youma, completely dedicated to the darkness and currently expressing such in service to General Tourmaline.

Name: Ravenna

Gender/Pronoun: She/her

Hobbies:
Knowledge Seeking: Ravenna is no fool, nor is she so feral that she's incapable of thoughtful conversation. The Captian she was once bonded to, before he earned his promotion, had attempted to teach her how to play chess and even how to read simple books. She can identify the letters of the alphabet and numbers but skills such as math or advanced reading are beyond her understanding. That said, one secret desire she still holds on to is that she wishes to find someone to read stories to her again, but her distrusting nature makes this highly unlikely.

Mimikry: When she learned to use her glamor, the world was a fascinating place. But it was quickly realized that humans' kindness is not given freely and at times they are worse than the stronger youma in the Rift. Still, she tries to emulate their speech, how they walk, mannerisms to be replicated so she can pass as one of them. There is still so much she doesn't know that conversation is more difficult because she isn't familiar with technology or current world issues outside of her 'hunting ground' and so she often pretends to be mute if only to be left alone.

Magical treasures: Small hint offered towards anyone who wants to try and gain her trust, trinkets with magical properties are a good way to pique her interest and or curiosities. She has two nests in the Rift and one just outside Destiny City that have some small treasures. Only very few hold a sentimental value to her but the rest lose their worth after the magic is spent. OOCly this just means she is tempted by and collects IC-RP items, mementos are rarely kept.

Virtues:
Independent: Ravenna doesn't have a pack mentality and does not need anyone in order to survive. She does what she deems necessary to live another day but to her asking for help is a sign of weakness and she doesn't want anyone to have that perception of her. Freedom is what she desires most even if it is a lonely path to tread upon.

Observant: Living in the Rift where there is danger everywhere has taught Ravenna how to be mindful of her surroundings and to have a high environmental awareness of what is going on around her. She had to adapt to being fleetfooted, flighty if the situation calls for it, and quick thinking. However, outside the Rift is unfamiliar territory; Destiny City is not her normal terrain and so she utilizes her glamour when possible to familiarize herself with an area before using it as a hunting ground for satisfying her hunger for energy. In terms of conversations, she picks up on tone and body language rather quickly to determine intent or motive and will react accordingly.

Flaws:

Distrustful: Over the decades, if not significantly longer, she has been dusted enough times and sent back to the Rift that she has visceral hate for anyone affiliated with Order or may sympathize with them. Additionally, this seething anger extends to corrupts, no exception, and anyone who has the power or intent to force her to do something against her will. Once, for a short while, she had been bonded to an agent and while he taught her many things, when he earned his promotion he became cowardly and would send her to fight while he stood idly by or ran away. He eventually died due to his own cowardice but because of him, she would rather flee than give someone the opportunity to hold power over her or kill her if it can be evaded.

Volitile: Do something to earn her ire and that poor decision-making will be met with swift punishment. It is supremely unwise to intentionally disrespect, make demands that force her into submission, betray or harm her in any way. It is a fantastic way to become her next intended prey depending on the severity of the perceived transgression. Keep in mind, she is not human and miscommunication can trigger this behavior. Even if her perception was wrong, that does not mean she will show any measure of remorse or regret for lashing out. Fair warning, don't touch her feathers without permission otherwise, she will go for the throat.

Outfit: Fantasy, elf inspired
Original REJECTED - use for color reference.
WIP NOT SUBMITTED

Physical Appearance: In essence a harpy-youma. Ravenna's appearance maintains the typical half-human and half-bird aesthetic. This is not to be confused with a half-youma as she does not adhere to the rules of wearing a military-style uniform.

Body: While maintaining the face, torso arms and upper legs of a human, Ravenna has pointed ears, bony hands with claws instead of nails, and lower legs of a raptor-like bird of prey with sharp dagger-like talons.
Eyes: Pupiless lime-green eyes with purple seclara and acid-green glowing marks on each cheek.
Extra: Lastly, she supports fully functional gradient green wings and tail feathers that allow for flight.

Youma Type: Humanoid

Abilities:

Ability 1 : Physical Attributes: Harpy
Ravenna's has fully functional wings that allow her to fly silently while carrying up to 60 lbs (half her own weight) unincumbered. Between 60 and 125 pounds, she can hover with some difficulty the closer it is to her weight but cannot ascend any higher. Her weight up to 180 pounds more would result in a steady slow fall if she felt inclined to help someone. Anything more than 180 is a dead drop to the ground. While her wings can be damaged they won't break easily. Additionally, she has sharp claws on both her hands and dagger-like talons on her bird-like feet used for attacking and defending delivering slashing or piercing damage.

Ability 2 :
Lifting her hands, Ravenna snaps both shut and in doing so summons up to 6 shadowy feathers, one between each finger, that emit a soft greenish or purple glow and last for 20 seconds. At this time she is able to throw these dart-like projectiles at an enemy or the surrounding area up to 15' away with decent accuracy (anything more would have higher chances at missing) and recall them back to herself in a straight line to be thrown again. There are no status effects associated with the sickly corrupted hue, rather being nicked or pierced by one will have the associated sensation of being cut or stabbed. Physically this may leave a paper-cut injury or worse at players' discretion. Ravenna can use this attack 3 times.

Hobbies:

Soccer: Jude likes to play Soccer, it was physical and constant outlet that her mother approved of, while being a competitive enough sport that allowed Jude to blow off some steam. It was a healthy outlet that she took pride in.

Romance Novels: Growing in a very strict catholic home made it hard for the woman to really reach out and find fine literature. Scriptures and Prayers were all she had for most of the time. She was introduced to romance novels by her giggling friends who didn't have as strict of parents and soon wished to read more. Hidden from her parents, she has a small collection of Nora Roberts, Jayne Ann Krentz and Danielle Steele.

Virtues:

Understanding: Jude takes her time, piecing things together. She doesn't like to assume, so she listens. She doesn't like to go head first, she wants to understand all her options. She wants t understand people before making a choice or a decision. She chooses, to wait for all the truths, so she can understand.

Knowledgeable: Judith spends a lot of time locked away, Methporically and physically. She has a very strict schedule set up by her mother, so she follows it to a T. In that, her mother makes sure to Judith learns everything. As such, the girl is adept in piano, religious literature, Language, Math. She was raised to be the perfect daughter, so she does her best to assimilate to her moms wishes.

Flaws:

Naive: Judith is naive, especially in the world. She was lucky to be able to join Crystal academy her senior year after being home schooled, but finds that the real world is very different and changing. She wants to believe the best in everyone, so she tries to listen to all sides of truth.

Frustrated: Jude can be easily frustrated, especially by things she knows and by being held back. After experiencing life outside of her home life, She finds that she doesn't think what her mother taught her, was really what she wanted to be taught.

Senshi: Sailor Meiden, Senshi of Nymphs

Challenge: I’m not really a Maiden!


Fuku:

See the Premade to the right.

Attacks:

Sailor Scout Attack: Meiden’s Dance

Meiden calls her attack and turns a small circle. From there comes two watery body doubles. They are nothing more then distractions. The dissipate after they are attacked but can be used to stop damage. This attack can be cast twice. The body doubles do not move far from the original body of Meiden. This magic last for 30 seconds before the body doubles fade if they are not attacked.

Super Sailor Scout Attack: Meiden’s Pirouette
Meiden calls her attack and turns a small circle. From there comes three watery body doubles. They are nothing more then distractions. The dissipate after they are attacked but can be used to stop damage. This attack can be cast twice. The body doubles do not move far from the original body of Meiden. This magic last for 35 seconds if the body doubles are not attacked.

Eternal Sailor Attack: Nymph’s Paradise

Meiden calls her attack, raising her hand to the sky, before touching her lips and then points to the ground. From there it seems like a drop of water drops down. Everyone within a ten foot circular radius is drawn into an illusion. A soft song plays and they're drawn into a dance, seemingly dancing with a watery woman. They can't break from the illusion unless they are pulled out by someone else or attacked. Meiden can use this attack once. Meiden is free to move around after the illusion is cast, but she cannot attack others as this would break the illusion. The illusion last for a full minute, if they are not attacked or pulled out.

Name: Sebastian Gracey

Nickname: Seb, Bastion (family only)

Age: 16

Birthday: November 11th

Sign: Water

Gemstone: Toaz

Blood Type: AB+

Fav. Food: Marshmallows (mostly the ones shaped like chicks)

Hated Food: Mushrooms

School: Meadowview

Hobbies:
Ghost Hunting - Seb has always been into the supernatural but has a particular love for ghosts. He’s got personal stories about encounters going all the way back to his childhood. He’s spent way too much allowance money on equipment to hunt them down. Bonus to this is he runs a youtube channel dedicated to ghost hunting and the occult. Most of his spare time is spent researching or going out to local haunted spots.

Monster Movies - If there is a movie out there about a monster you can guarantee Sebastian’s seen it. No matter how bad the movie is Seb’s watched it and can probably tell you more about it than you want to know about it too. The movies spill over into horror films occasionally too, better if they’re terrible, but he still prefers the monster movies over them any day.

Writing - Contrary to popular belief Seb does not run a blog but he does like writing short stories. HE’s had a few featured in young writer anthologies and wants to make a career out of it one day. He enjoys the creative process and being able to share stories with other people. One day he might even get lucky enough to write the next big monster movie screen play too.

Virtues:
Eye of the Storm Calm - Sebastian’s family is pretty damn loud and as he grew up he developed a distaste for that sort of thing. It embarassed him when they made fusses over things or got everyone's attention just by existing. He is always calm, even when it seems like an odd reaction. It takes an act of god to make Sebastian lose his cool so he’s usually the voice of reason among his friends.

Never Give You Up Loyal - Once seb has decided you’re worth being friends with it’s very hard to make him change his mind. He sticks by his friends and will go down in flames with them if he has to. Nothing is worse than flakey friends as far as he’s concerned. And god forbid if you do anything to hurt or bother any of his friends either.

I See What You Did There Insightful -Because of his movie watching habit Sebastian has become very good at picking up on little details. He is usually the first one to spot something or the one who spots something no one else sees. It makes him quick on the uptake and hard to get anything past unless you’re extremely clever. Then he might just grill you about how you did it instead.

Flaws:
AD-What now? Scatterbrained - Seb has ADD and is almost incapable of focusing on anything that doesn’t actually interest him. Not without medication at least. He tends to be all over the place so getting him to focus and do what you want can be a challenge. Heaven forbid you want him to do something boring. If he remembers you asked him to do something it’s days after the fact. Then he’d scrambling to do it so he dosen’t look like an idiot.

The More You Know Know-it-All - Seb is smart but he also always has to be right. He can’t let someone say something incorrect near him without correcting them. It doesn’t matter how trivial or if it’s even hsi business. He’s going to stick his nose in and tell you what he thinks you should know. It’s for your own good after all.

Caring Hurts Distant - He loves his friends dearly but despite that it’s hard to actually be friends with Seb sometimes. He’s usually rather shut off emotionally and tends to come off like he doesn’t really care. He might see a message from you and not respond for days cause he keeps forgetting. The whole ‘emotional attachment’ thing is lost on him where people are concerned.


PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:

Eyes: Bright sea-green and a little too big for his face.

Hair: short and messy. He has an under-cut on one side but tends to forget to actually -do- his hair in the morning so it’s hard to tell

Face: Round and cute (don’t mention this)

Clothes: Hipster-Witch. He tends to wear a lot of black/gray items, usually on the baggy side, and he likes stuff with ‘occult’ symbols on them.

**Note: Skye Starrfyre is alright with our characters having the same last name.

Powered Upgrade for Sebastian Gracey

Designation: Sailor Lumen of Ectoplasm

Challenge: ???

Attack #1a - Ectoplasmic Phenomenon!
[ Lumen appears to be in a trance-like state. Upon 'snapping to', Lumen flings his hands outward releasing a vaporous form that rushes towards his opponent. Any area touched by the form is now coated in ectoplasmic residue. Ew.

The ectoplasm gives off a faint, ghastly glow making Lumen's opponent easier to track on the battlefield (especially useful in low light or dark settings). Ectoplasm may feel disgusting and slow movement due to being a slippery, slimey residue Lasts 25 seconds, area of effect 5ft cone in front of Lumen.]
Use: 3 times per battle


Attack #1b - Ectoplasm Phenomenon, Engulf!
[ For a brief moment Sailor Lumen appears to be in a trance-like state. Upon 'snapping to', Lumen flings his hands outward releasing a vaporous form that rushes towards his opponent. Any area touched by the form is now coated in ectoplasmic residue. Ew.
This time the more Lumen's opponent tries to wipe it away the more the ectoplasm spreads, doing so at a faster rate the more agitated the opponent becomes.

The ectoplasm gives off a faint, ghastly glow making Lumen's opponent easier to track on the battlefield (especially useful in low light or dark settings). Ectoplasm may feel disgusting and slow movement due to being a slippery, slimey residue. Lasts 35 seconds, area of effect 5ft cone in front of Lumen. ]
Use: 2 times per battle


Attack #2 - Ectoplasmic Construct!
[ For a brief moment Sailor Lumen appears to be in a trance-like state. Upon 'snapping to', Lumen flings his hands outward releasing a vaporous form that begins to solidify as it takes on the shape of Lumen.

Once summoned this construct may be commanded by Sailor Lumen for one round in which it may either absorb the damage of an enemie's attack, which will cause it to collapse instantly after, or attack the enemy in place of Lumen as a diversion (up to 30 seconds).
By the start of the third post the constructs collapse in on themselves, leaving slippery, faintly glowing residue behind on the ground for the rest of the battle (no longer than 3-4 posts).]
