Username: The Lady Archangel
Character Name: Despoina Crysanthos (des-poe-INA kry-SAN-tho-ss)
Character Race: aos si—pwca (fairy— shapeshifter)
Character Age: 16
Character Gender: female
Character Height: 5 feet 6 inches
Character Weight: 136 pounds (144 with gear)
Character Alignment: Neutral Lawful
Character Occupation / Trade:Student, cook’s assistant.
Personality: Despite her facades otherwise, Despoina is sensitive about her academic and linguistic shortcomings. Paradoxically though, she is silently and steadfastly proud of her abilities and diverse interests and is hopeful that she isn’t or won’t turn out to be a complete failure.
To the memory of her closest friends she remains loyal and she is an obedient and somewhat respectful daughter and mistress, though she does break minor rules. She is talkative and even crazy around her close friends but shy around unfamiliar, un-lively people.
Character Race Traits:
Shapeshifting: Her specific fairy-type allows her to shift into any form she can imagine though if she shifts into the same appearance of that animal
(e.g. If the first time she transforms into a horse it’s a dark brown colored stallion (adult male) with a black mane and tail, she will always look be a dark brown male with black hair in a horse form. If she were to be a unicorn though, she could be black filly (female child) with black hair and a black horn.) Note she could shift genders and ages, regardless of her actual age. (Her coat will always be darkish or tan-colored.)
In this form she retains the ability to talk, though she can also make the sounds of the animal. She can stay in any form she likes as long as she like, but shifting itself takes a lot of energy. (~60% for one shift.)
(At this level she can shift into the form of the animal and have their traits, though not their strengths; e.g. she’d be able to run like a horse, but wouldn’t have the endurance or strength of one.)
Gleaning Energy: She can eat and drink normal food, but she can also drink blood and eat marrow for energy/ “mana”. The most effective way of gleaning energy though, is bathing/swimming in liquid energy. The gleaned energy is stored within the skin.
Natural Energy: In near-death situations her body will drain energy from anything touching or within a yard from her, including enemies if they happen to be so close. Anything out of that area will not be affected. This is uncontrollable and she will recover as usual after the battle.. (At this point she would appear either completely unconscious or only barely conscious.)
Gift of Appearances: With the help of rituals/ other fancy preparations and spells, she can take on the appearance of a form other than her usual transformations (e.g. Look like someone else). Lacking the gift of tongues though, she doesn’t sound like the person she’s impersonating anyways. It can’t be done too often. (As of this level she can only look like females and cannot alter height, weight or eye color.)
Regeneration: (From the "Ye Ole Fortune Teller" Quest) Small cuts, bruises and bumps heal as though they were nothing, minor damage (eg. gashes) heal slowly on their own as well.
Gift of Tongues: (NOTE: She doesn’t have this ability; I’m putting it in for reference) Naturally multilingual, musical, and uncanny persuasive and mimicking abilities.
Character Occupation Traits:
Basic medicine: She knows basic first aid (e.g. cleaning/ disinfecting cuts, stopping bleeding, running burns under water,) and doesn’t freak out/ go crazy/instictively think of eating/ et cetera around blood. This comes from working in the kitchen, in the constant danger of burns and cuts, as well as from getting hurt/ personal experience while training.
Speed-reading: (Not insanely fast, just fast). From skimming recipe books and cramming for academic tests XP
Current Levelling Points LP: 12,750
Current Level: Level 2 = Beginner [2] (Insignificant)
Description of Appearance:
Dark blue hair tied in a long braid or in two puff-balls. Brown eyes. Tan-ish skin. Normal-sized, though a little stretched. Something like this:
Skill Set: Beginner (2) Water Magic
Weapons/armor/items Carried: Everything is carried in her knapsack (except for shoes and gloves obviously) and her staff, which is strapped on her back.
Weapons: (She can use other weapons, but these are the only ones she owns. Both are charmed against breaking and minor magic.)
~Quarterstaff (made of wood; 5’5”, 3 lbs)
~Fans (2) (metal frame and silk; approximately a half circle with a 12” radius, 1.5 pounds each)
Armor/ clothes: Clothes are cotton. (No formal armor) Other accessories:
~1 pair of open-finger gloves (black with violet accent, kevlar) and a pair of shooting sleeves (black, nylon).
~1 pair shoes (black, leather).
~1 hooded poncho (dark purple/ indigo-ish, silk)
Other items:
~A necklace that stores energy for emergency transformations. It takes about 2 weeks to charge for 1 transformation, though it will continue “charging” at a slower pace if unused for more than said 2 weeks. It’s maximum is 3.5 transformations (the other .5 would come from her current reserve) [NOTE: Stored Energy can't be accessed till personal quest has been taken])
~Notebook, pencils, eraser
~A long pink ribbon that she likes playing with (Can be but not usually used as a weapon. See Signature moves)
~Calligraphy pens (6) and paper (small stack)
~Foodstuffs, water-skin
~A mini-first aid kit (i.e. bandages, gauze, cough drops (aka candy), herbs for bleeding, minor cuts, pain, headache/ stomachache, sleeping)
~Book. Transforms into any of the following:
———-1. Spellbook (basic healing charms/ ritual notes)
———-2. Book on meditation, tai-chi forms
———-3. Atlas, guidebook
———-4. Book on mythology
———-5. Holy Book
———-6. Journal
———-7. Manners/ other expected things from a nobleperson
———-8. Recipe book
———-9. Card games
———10. Calligraphy
———11. Artbook/ drawing tutorials
———12. Novel
~Ring (from the "Hunting History" quest): Improved endurance.
Signature Moves:
Jetstream: Her ribbon becomes an elemental stream (i.e. stream of water) that she can manipulate as a weapon, or just as a way of getting around. This isn’t so much as a strong move/mushou as an idiosyncratic technique.
Redirection (Water): She takes an attack fired at her and redirects the attack elsewhere (e.g. at the attacker), conserving its original strength/ speed/stats. She acts as a channel for the element and energy to pass through, thus it requires no energy (nor does it give her any) on her part, only concentration. If preformed wrong or if she attempts to redirect more energy than she can handle (~whatever energy level she’s at then), the attack’s effect is amplified to twice as strong against her.
From the spellbook:
There are other things in the spellbook that she can’t do that are unmentioned. They are basically there so she understands what other people of her species can do.
~Mending minor cuts and bruises
~Easing aches and throbbing
~Giving and receiving (not stealing) energy from others
~Altering appearances
Temporal Control: (From the "J-J-Just a S-S-Small R-Request!" Quest) A thermal affect on water (thus allowing her to shift between the states of matter)
Background Story:
The elder daughter of the chief of their kind, Idon Aleda Korbin, Despoina was raised in the upper class of her city/village; in a world of wealth, though not of pampering. While she attended the standard “public” school for noble-rank children, she was tutored on the side by her father, Tyeuan Crysanthos (TIE-ee-oo-ghan kry-SAN-tho-ss) in other arts (hence her interest in calligraphy and vague understanding of gardening.) She also has a sister two years her younger, Atalesa. Despoina excelled early on in martial arts and weaponry, but not so much at academics. Furthermore, she was criticized but not condemned (due to birth-rank) by some for lacking the gift of tongues and showing more interest in non-shapeshifting magic. Despite these she lived a pretty uneventful life in her city/ village.
At 15 she was considered advanced in standard fighting techniques and set off to Riverrun to learn spellcasting and elemental magic. With her is her (temporary) guardian and instructor, and personal servant, Emery Yi.
