Senshi: Sailor Eridanus: Senshi of InkName: Erik Odysseus Corlione
Nicknames: “Oddy”
Age:
18 22
Birthday: December 10
Sign: Sagittarius
Blood Type: AB
Fav. Food: Pumpkin Bread
Hated Food: Soy ANYTHING
School: Meadowview
Hobbies:
-Jogging: Oddy (rarely Erik,) Enjoys running, and whenever possible goes for an early morning jog. Although he’s never actually gotten around to entering, he imagines that one of these days he’ll get around to doing something ‘cool’ like entering a Marathon.
-History: Never mind the stuff you read in school, the stuff they DON’T teach you in class is way more interesting; and sometimes entertainingly bizarre. Reading strange stories about history is a favorite pastime, and probably one that helped inspire the idea that more people call him by a bastardization of his middle name than his real name.
-Doodles: Oddy is…well, somewhat infamous for notebook doodles. He’s never taken an art class he didn’t yawn through, but he’s more than happy to doodle surreal little comics and scribbles in his notebooks, sometimes to the frustrations of others, who, understandably, see this as him not taking schoolwork…or well… a lot of other things… as seriously as they might like. Even more frustrating; in spite of these generally useless ‘notes’ he rarely outright fails a test. Oddy claims that this is because his notes are ‘associative’, and that the doodles help him remember what he was listening to far better than just writing down the words. That or it’s the recordings he takes at lectures if he can get away with it.
This’ll do: Definitely the sort of guy that makes mechanics weep when he drags things in to be –actually- fixed, Oddy is pretty damn good at improvisation and general jerry-rigging. Duct tape, Cans of Fix-A-Flat, WD-40… empty soda bottles… he’ll put it all to use to get something running just a littttle bit longer, and lectures of “please for the love of god just change the tire.” Really don’t seem to get through.
((Fix-A-Flat makes tire people weep. It works fantastically… but is HELL to clean back out of the tire.))
Gemstone: Turquoise
The birthstones for the month of December are turquoise, topaz, tanzanite, zircon, lapis lazuli, onyx, ruby, and Chrysoprase.
Virtues:
It’s all good: Oddy is… frankly, a bit of a c**k-eyed optimist. He tends to let things roll off his shoulders, and marches on with an certainty that, regardless of how dark the thunder clouds are, that he not only won’t get hit by lightning, but that the resulting sunshine will look even nicer winking off all the beads of rain left behind.
Fit: Oddy is not a frail, effeminate flower… by any stretch of the imagination. (Except maybe his eyelashes… but that’s beside the point…) He’s well toned from exercise, and although he takes sports about as seriously as anything else, he’s no slouch either. In his own mind at least, this meshes pretty damn well with his Senshi powers, and he’s pretty confident that he can hold his own, even hand to hand.
Inventive: Oddy is perfectly happy to use his hands, feet, the nearby trashcan lid, or well… you… as his next surprise. He’s a creative soul, who applies his tendency to jerry-rig things to quite a lot of other aspects of his life. ((This unfortunately does include his cooking.)) It means he’s capable of coming up with –something- to apply to the situation at almost any given moment, the only downside is the degree of appropriateness.
Huge Family: Oddy’s family is ENORMOUS. It would probably take ten minutes and a flow chart to list his extended family, and you still might miss some. In spite of the name, there’s no apparent connection to organized crime (THANK you very much…) Just a lot of relatives, who’ve all spent their lives being beaten into the mold that family comes first. This has the advantage that if he needs support, he can probably find someone he’s related to, even distantly, who can help; or that failing, apply calories to the problem.
Flaws:
-Over comfortable: His c**k-eyed optimism and last minute inventiveness sometimes leave Oddy without an actual –plan-. Everything’s just supposed to work out, don’t you know? This can leave him in a tight spot, because sometimes Murphy sets his sights on you and just doesn’t let up. Unfortunately, much like lectures on his improve repairs, Oddy seems bound and determined not to learn from this.
Huge family: Don’t get him wrong. Oddy LOVES his family, and they him. So why, you might ask, is this a flaw? Well, honestly, it gets a little harder to duck off the radar in such a close knit family, which can make it a little more difficult to sneak out at night to defend the universe. Also since many of the other Senshi are female, it’s bound to give Oddy something of a reputation as a playboy, and his mother will inevitably start to try and invite some of those ‘skinny young things’ over for dinner, on the pretence of putting meat on their bones, but really more to grill them and find out if they’re a good match for her Boy. Boy senshi showing up in civilian form are likely to get a similar treatment, but more for the obvious reasons, although it will make “Mama” and her circle gossip endlessly about the potential –there- as well.
Challenge: “Your defeat is already written!”
Attack #1
NAME: Might of the Pen:
-Although one might expect this attack to actually make use of the henshin pen, the pen is more of a prop. This attack, drawn in the air with either the pen, or just with a sweep of his hand, creates a thick ‘splash’ of ink that shoots toward the intended target. As if to demonstrate that the pen is in fact mightier than the sword, this ink hits as a solid force, possibly lightly staggering a foe or inflicting welts and shallow cuts. Mostly at this stage it’s going to smart like hell, like being whipped with a jump rope.
At this stage the ink ‘whip’ appears somewhat splattery or blurry, as though written on the wrong kind of paper.
Attack 1a: Might of the Pen: Permanence!
The might of the Pen attack now becomes somewhat more dangerous, inflicting more damage to people and objects, and it appears far more crisp and defined. It will actually cut through clothing now, and will last past the initial strike, allowing Eridanus to use it in a far more literally whip like fashion, though it doesn’t last more than a half a minute at best, it might still be enough to give someone a good yank.
Attack #2: Rewrite of Perception!
Using the same techniques as previously: Eridanus uses slightly more time to ‘ink’ a weapon into existence. One of the limitations of this attack is that he must have seen a previous example of it, and creating it does not mean he knows how to use it correctly. The resulting weapon appears to be made of thick black ink, and leaves black marks that fade in hours or days, depending. It cannot be used to create a gun, for reasons unknown, but it could be used for a bow and arrow. It will also not draw new doors in things, and cannot be used to simply ‘draw’ wounds onto an enemy, or to create living creatures, or their semblance.
