Senshi: Sailor Warhol, Senshi of Moods

Name: Ivy Sutors
Nicknames: None. Really, what can you nickname Ivy? People have tried, but it's always ended up being some variation on her last name; she's not a big fan of being called Sue.
Age: Fourteen and a half. Ah, youth!
Birthday: April second.
Sign: Aries.
Blood type: O Negative
Fav. Food: She enjoys potatoes in most shapes and forms, some more than others. Waffle fries? Amazing. Sweet potato fries? Ehhhhh, no. Mashed potatoes? Be still, her heart.
Hated Food: Peppers. The very smell of them makes her gag.
Gemstone: Diamond.
School-Meadowview
Friends-Ivy doesn't have many friends. Her moodswings and twisted sense of humor require a special kind of person, even with the Meadowview crowd.

HOBBIES
Technology-Ivy loves the computer. Some might say she's addicted, which is certainly true! She has an iPod Touch that she carries everywhere. She is the person who hogs the computer for as long as she can, uses a full-up sparkly Word report, is on her personal computer all day (She reads lots of fanfiction, some hints for games, song lyrics, maybe schoolwork help...)

Reading-Ivy reads a lot. She reads in blocks of text-instead of word-by-word, like most people do-which means that she goes through books fast. So, she'll sometimes carry a book around if it's really interesting-unfortunately, she'll get so absorbed in the book that she fails to hear anything anyone's saying. But Ivy only partially absorbs the book. It's also quite possible that it's distorted her sense of hearing-when Ivy is asked a question when she's reading, it takes her a few asked questions before she notices you're talking to her.

Anime/Manga-Ivy will proudly say, without fail, that she's addicted to manga. Anime not so much, but it is something that she takes pride in; and she will freak out if she fails to get to the latest installment of a manga she likes (which means she makes off references all the time). She got into the stuff by finding about a manga, she decided to read it, and just like that, she became an addict!

Video Gaming-Ivy sucks at it. But that doesn't mean she won't stand at your shoulder and tell you what to do if you're playing a video game. Which she will, without fail! Because it's happened before. Repeatedly. And, like before, she will make random references to video games she likes.

VIRTUES
Energetic-Ivy can keep going for quite a while physically. It carries over to totally anything athletic; and means she's got lots of stamina. On the downside, her flaws will give her hell about this. The girl enjoys running, but not actually doing it in a running club or anything! She just works out a lot.

Supportive-Ivy will never tell you something doesn't work, she'll just offer suggestions and support you in it, whatever you do.

Unbound-if something doesn't work, Ivy will go at it in another way that she hasn't tried. She also will try basically any activity, giving her resources but not really the mindframe to use them. She might have tried gymnastics, writing, sports, working in a flower shop, rockclimbing...

FLAWS
Distracted-Ivy refuses to sit still, which means she's always fidgeting-her thoughts basically run a million miles a minute. In shorter terms, she can pay attention to anything except what she's supposed to be paying attention to. Which might just get her killed. It balances out her energetic side, but it could also save her life.

Chatterbox-Ivy gives anything she sees or hears suitable talking about-she will chatter to anybody about what she's thinking about, and will carry on for as long as she can thing of something to talk about. Dangerous trait for battles (or anything that involves moving fast), that's for sure. When she's talking, she loses some of her chances to move, and unless she's looking around-being distracted-and unbound, she'll get hurt.

Emotional-Ivy can change moods in a second, being happy one second and absolutely furious at you the next, if you say something that she doesn't like, even a minor thing. She, therefore, has a hard time working with anyone.
She's not sure quite why she does this. It's not really just a teenager thing-she's a very emotional person naturally, so this is just an extension of it. She's easy to taunt, because she'll always react to the taunt!
Yeah, this will get someone's star seed removed at sometime-or-other, I just know it...she'd be so epic as a Negasenshi though...
Weakness. Ivy responds to even the smallest jibe.

Luafien

What would I find in your refrigerator right now?
I live with my parents. Lots of stuff. Lots of bread, pasta, vegetables, chicken...
What is the last book you read?
T*Witches, book two...best. Book. EVER.
If you could trade places with any other person for a week, famous or not famous, living or dead, real or fictional. with whom would it be?
I'd trade places with Wildy San from the webcomic DMFA
If you were a salad, what kind of dressing would you have?
I hate salad dressing!
If you were written about in the newspaper, on the front page, what would the headline say?
CITYWIDE READING CONTEST WINNER ANNOUNCED...as boring as it is, it's the most likely for me.
Who do you like best, you mom or dad?
They're both awesome, I could never decide...


Challenge:
Ever heard of a mood ring? Well, here's a crash course on the colors you'll see! I'm Sailor Psyche, Sailor Senshi of Moods, so get ready to be beaten~
(She's too distracted to actually say this. Someday...)

ATTACKS
1. Mood Change: A Normal Attack
A small color-changing orb emerges from her brooch and shoots out at the enemy. When it hits a sentient being (animals, Negaverse, humans, other Senshi, youma), it changes their mood randomly. They can become bored and refuse to fight, get mad and attack Ivy, anything apart from their current mood.
The attack shoots out in a straight-ish line, and can be used multiple times a battle.
(If the attack hits someone who's not a Youma or animal, the person who was hit decides the result of the attack.)
1b. Mood Flip: A Super Attack
A color-changing orb, about the size of a quarter, emerges from Ivy's tiara and partially locks on to the opponent. When anyone is hit by this, their mood completely reverses. Sometimes, however, the attack fails and just amplifies their mood.

2. Psyche Mood Prism: An Eternal Attack
Ivy spins around, saying the name of the attack, and pale color-changing light extends from her fingertips. The light then turns into one ring of light that surrounds Ivy's wrist like a bracelet, and can be thrown like a Frisbee. When they are thrown, they extend to about Frisbee-size.
When this attack connects with someone or something, their emotions will fluctuate wildly, and actually be physical-if they're angry, they'll start to flame or become hot; if they're sad, water will start coming from the air around them, and so on. She can only use this attack once a battle.
If the attack connects with a plant or surrounding material, it will vanish and respawn around her wrist.
Basically, this attack makes any enemy it connects with have no control of their emotions and have the area around them display an elemental version of the emotion. Someone hit by this attack can become angry, than sad, then happy, then joyful, for no reason besides the fact that that is what the attack does! This attack's effects last for

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: The color of liquid silver. They're slightly exotic-looking.
Hair: Black with rainbow-colored steaks. It falls down to the middle of her back, and she's got two ponytails on the top of her head. Straight.
Face: Heart-shaped face, bit of freckles, slightly pointed ears.
Body Type: She's thin and slightly muscled. Comes from the running and gymnastics. Otherwise, she's short for her age. (Ivy is pale-skinned, but does not sunburn easily, just tans.)

Fuku Colour: Main is light orange. Secondary is light silver.

FUKU
User Image
Collar -- Go crazy, I have no preference.
Bow -- chest and butt. Butt one isn't as much of a bow as it is silk trailing down to mid-leg.
Bodice -- Almost like a leotard. She has a few silver lines that wind around her upper chest and circle around her waist.
Sleeves -- No upper arm ones-she has cloth winding down her upper arms that attach the actual sleeves. Sleeves like these.
Brooch -- A circle like this or this (as a full circle, obviously).
Bottoms -- Leg-veil on the back (like a veil coming from her waist, a bit like Atlas's backbow) and there's a bit of skirt coming around the front (like Serpentarius' front skirt-half) that connects the leg-veil to her waist.
Tiara -- Average senshi tiara, but made of silver with an orange gem.
Choker -- Silver fabric with an orange circle outline on it.
Shoes -- Something like these with a bow on the top of each boot. Orange with silver laces.
Gloves -- Fingerless gloves that only cover her hand.
Accessories -- Go crazy.
[For each of these, I leave the position of colors up to the artist. Except for the ones I stated the colors for.]

First thing I noticed was her name. Aurora is a name we already have, you may want to find another first name for her. I know the contests say if the names should be something different than what's had. [If you're wondering Iris_Virus owns the aforementioned Aurora]

Lots of Energy might be better as Energetic or Hyper?

Also you may want to flesh her flaws and Virtues out a bit more, for example you may to want to see if you can tie them back to each other. Also it might help if you meander through the accepted quests, dairies and hub sub forums to see what other questions are like. The reason I suggest this is because right now you don't really get a full sense of the character.

Her attacks, are interesting [small spelling mistake, multiple, though I'm sure you've realized this by now that you accidentally hit the r.] However don't forget that you have an attack 1a. which is a power up of the first attack, so you may want to think of how it's powered up as well and add that.]

For your favorite food, maybe you should pick something that she enjoys as a comfort food. Those seem to be things that stick around for a bit.
You are missing the ‘Hated Food’.

Technology and Reading need to be a little more fleshed out. What does she enjoy listening to and reading? Also, maybe change the last sentence of one of them. It doesn’t flow when they are the same sentence.

As for her virtues/Flaws, LP said it before. They need to be a bit more fleshed out. Just sit back and think about how she would hand certian moments if they arrived. Best thing to do is look at others.

Best of luck! It's a good start!

Sirene, LP, thank you for the crits.
I really didn't notice that Aurora was an already used name, LP-thanks!
Sirene, thanks for pointing out a few things I was missing.

Hi there! Sorry to randomly jump in on this, just felt like writing something- hope this all makes sense! <3;

First off- I'd like to see more story on her. How does Spectria fit in at her school? With her friends? Does she HAVE friends? What about her life at home, and what might bring her to be a good sailor candidate? It would really help to flesh out her character, since people might want to know who she is for RP purposes. She's got to have some pretty interesting parents to name her Spectria!

Secondly, more detail on her physical stature would be nice- is she tall and willowy? Or short and chubby? Personally, from her hobbies/mentioned dislike of athletics, she's rubbing me as the chubby sort- which would honestly be a COOL character trait, IMHO. There's too many thin, gorgeous girls in this fandom. )< Unless you've got a good way for her to be stickthin, it'd be an interesting direction to consider going in!

On that idea, what got her into anime/manga/gaming? It's a bit unusual for girls to just fall into that sort of thing- maybe someone in her life? Again, this hits on a backstory idea, too. Just something I'm thinking on~

Linking her virtues and flaws would be nice- tie energetic into mouth-running? Figure out how her mood swings go with her energy- does she go and do something active when she's depressed? Play a game, maybe? It'd make her seem deeper, to have this all mapped out. <3

On that- is she ACTUALLY Bipolar, or is that just how you phrased it? Is it extreme enough that she'd take medication for it, or do anything out of the norm about it? If not, you might want to consider looking into more of the psychological aspects and social stigmas of bipolar dissorder- or rephrase this. Moodswings works just as well- if not better- than bipolar!

Finally, power-wise, I'm struggling to see how, aside from name-wise, Mood Deconstruction relates to her sphere. Does she feed off of people's moods for this- like, sadness, anger, or happiness giving different amounts of strength? Otherwise, you might want to rethink this power.

Overall, I'm very fond of her quest- you've got a lot of great stuff going here! <3; Hope this helps/makes sense!

Actually, her parents are just strange, pain and simple. She doesn't have many friends, like I added in.

Thanks for that notice-Spectria's a small girl, but she's thin and muscled because she does athletics.

Added a sentence on this in. Good topic for a solo RP, so I'll file this away.

I attempted to do what you said here-her flaws balance her virtues out.

She's not bipolar, just has big moodswings. Altered this, thanks!

I added a section in for Mood Deconstruction on how it uses moods.
TrinityCowgirl

Thank you, Trinity~

Big thing is grammer and spelling.
Have you read it out loud to see if it sound right?

This is on my profile as a criticism. I have attempted this-if anyone notices something, please put it down in your criticism!

Shouldn't this be covered in her profile, then, if she does athletics? I think that adding sports in to playing games, reading manga, watching anime, and fiddling with her technology constantly would maybe be too much.

You do realise that the instant she whips out the iPod Touch in class, the teacher is going to confiscate it for the rest of the day? Makes it very hard for her to "always" be on it during school.

She's athletic but hates sports? How has she got any athletic ability or stamina if she won't do sports?

For Determined, we need more detail. What happens when she sets her mind to something impossible - become an expert on something really quickly, earn money fast, get 100% on that test? There are some things she WON'T be able to do - how does she respond? Also, if she hates doing badly on anything, shouldn't she be studious? No mention of that anywhere in the app, or do grades not count?

Unbound isn't explained very well. Can we have an example of going at things in ways she hasn't tried? You've just jumped onto her trying all these different sports (which I thought she hated??) and activities.

Is Spectri actually bi-polar? You need a reason for the random moodswings - being the senshi of Moods doesn't count. Keep in mind that mental disorders are HARD to pull off. We've had people try them in previous apps and they haven't gone over well when all someone knows is what they pulled off Wikipedia.

Attacks 1 and 1a, all good. Attack 2, I don't see how boosting her agility, strength and endurance have anything to do with moods. The only reference to moods is in the side-effect of making her easy to taunt. Also, stealing the emotions of the creature closest to her when she uses her attack? GODMODING. No one will want to do a battle RP with this character if you get to decide that they become an emotionless zombie for the rest of the battle.

First off: a magical glamour prevents people from making the connection that someone is a senshi. Ivy would not be able to know that Megan was a senshi, even if she transformed in front of her. The idenity of a senshi is very important! If a Negaverser ever caught wind of someone knowing who was a senshi, most likely they would track the person down, torture the information out of them, and then proceed to kill their entire family and then the senshi and their family. It's not a pretty thing. gonk

Her "energetic" virtue makes it seem as if she can do anything athletic without tiring. It's as if she's the energizer bunny and can keep going and going and going -- what's her limit? She can do anything athletic unless she's injured? How do her flaws give her hell about it? You need to put a limit on this.

Determined and Distracted -- there's a conflict here. How can she keep working at something until she gets it while not sitting still and thinking about other things? You need to pick one of these and drop the other, or work with them more. You could turn her distraction flaw into something more long turn, like an inability to commit to long-term plans. As soon as she completes a project or goal, she's onto something completely different. (ie, making a macaroni zoo one day, completing a macaroni lion pride before completely switching gears and getting into stamp-collecting, getting all the stamps at her post-office before switching to sock-organization...) It'd be an expensive hobby, but an inability to commit to things long-term would be fun. :3

Emotional... I see this conflicting with determination a lot, even more than distracted. What's to stop her from starting a project, stopping, then throwing a fit of frustration and giving up and never returning to the project? My advice: ditch determination. It's the main source of your conflicts here.

I agree with Kali liking the the 1a and 1b attacks -- they really work with the sphere! Her eternal attack... Boomerangs, when thrown, go straight then swoop up and back. Maybe throw them like frisbees instead? If the attack came back to hit her... well, that'd be a huge bummer. What do you mean by having their emotions fluctuate wildly? Would the just display an elemental characteristic of their emotion? I'd like more information on this attack. Right now, I'm not sure what to make of the attack, to be honest.
