AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM


Name: Lucinda Necroforo
Nicknames: Luci, Stiff, Sharp shot, and Creeper Reaper.
Gender: Female Age: 17

Faction: Reaper
Race: Necromancer

Natural Ability: Summon Dead

Personality:

I'm not so sure about this...: She's very insecure since she was overshadowed by her brother. She was always the one he would blame things on. She avoids making big decisions and also talking in front of groups of people. She often fidgets with her hands in her pockets while looking at her feet to try and avoid talking to more than one or two people at a time.

I don't know how I feel..: Most of the time she is in a mellow and laid-back mood. Although she is very shy, certain things get her to open up and talk. She's very easily effected by other people's actions and emotions which can lead to sudden mood changes and rash actions. She's been like this ever since she was little, being in the same mood as her brother and his friends. Mostly due to the fact that her brother would always tell her that she couldn't do things or that she wasn't that good at anything she did compared to what he did.

I can do this!: Although she is weak, she picks fights when she's flustered or angry at a bad test grade. She's extremely stubborn and once she decides on something she'll push for it if it doesn't include dealing with lots of people. She also will confront others if she ultimately thinks her way is right and theirs is wrong. It's one of the few times she comes out of her shell. She literally will spend days studying without uttering a word in order to get a high score on an exam or assignment. It's also why her weapon is a musket, it takes time for her to perfect her accuracy while making the different smokes work. She's stubborn about it though because it's size is a little odd for her so she has to take time to get it ready to fire. She knows it's better for her than something up close and personal like others may use so she sticks with it to prove her point.

I know more than you~: She takes pride in her knowledge the same way her brother takes pride in his physical skills. She takes any opportunity to learn more about anything. She wants to be able to answer any and all questions that arise in school or in public.

I want to try this!: Deep down inside, part of her has always wanted to be a stronger person. She wants to be open to more people and to be able to have a set mood instead of flipping from mood to mood all the time. She refrains from summoning corpses to aid her because in truth, she want to show that she can do things on her own. She wants to prove to herself and to her brother that she can do things that aren't easy and that she can be stronger than she used to be.



Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? She also wants to enroll since she loves to learn and to test her brain. She enjoys trying new things in academics so she can deal with more situations and people. She wants to improve her social skills along with her academics so that there will be a healthier balance to herself.

FEAR Ability:
Year One: Target Practice
She uses skulls or in the case of the musket she tries to shoot at the enemy as a scare tactic or a fake out. Her goal with it is to get into the head of her opponent or just annoy them with smoke that changes shapes. Ranging from something small like a spider to something larger like the silhouette of a grim reaper with their scythe.

Disadvantage: If it misses by a lot and turns into a shape of a spider or another creepy crawler, it may blow back towards her and mess with her vision for a moment.

Year Two:Boom Skull Shot?!
She aims for the head but odds are she misses and ends up having the smoke ball explode near the opponents face. She has a few types which would cause either dizziness or slight hallucinations along with the obvious odor which ranges from a slight smell to the rank stench of rotting corpses.

Disadvantage: If she misses or is too close, she gets the smoke all over herself too. It could cause her to stumble or get dizzy from it depending on the level of the miss and the type of the smoke.

Year Three: (not sure if this is right) Death Shot
She shoots a larger skull bullet that explodes into a huge black cloud with a reaper shape to it. If it does a lot of damage the smoke rises up in a skull in cross bones shape.

Disadvantage:

Physical Description: She's very tattered looking and pale due to her nightly visits to dig up body parts from the graveyards. She always has dirt on her feet and under her nails.

Eye Colour: Grey

Hair Colour/Style: Jet black and short-ish with spikey ends.

Skin Colour: She's very pale and has been since she was born.

Clothing Style/Colours: Black tripp shorts with orange seams. On the chains are little skull charms. A sleeveless torn up T-shirt that says I <3 Graves. She has a skull and cross bone necklace and wears the same thing as an earring on her right ear.

Extra: Her weapon a musket that shoots skull shaped bullets so she doesn't have to get up as close and personal as she would have with other things. They aren't made for wounding though, there are a few different types that she has made which do different things. She would rarely shoot it until after year one since she would have to work on her aim. It's more like a musket from the old fairytales, very simple looking? Much like the bird hunting rifle Gaston has in Beauty and the Beast.

References: She's an oc of mine and I'll have a few drawings of her up here soon.

Other info~

Just putting my new personality thingy here as I fine tune it.

Flexible and Open-minded : Luci can fit into any situation, it may take more time for certain things than others but she adapts very easily. She is also very good at listening to others ideas and giving positive and constructive opinions on them. She may not always agree with an idea, especially when it's saying she is wrong, but she will listen to it and try and see things the way the person who brought it up does. She is very good at helping fill up holes in other peoples arguments along with telling them where they may have flaws or weak points in an idea or when writing something for homework.

Laid-back: Luci knows how to relax, usually with a book or with her homework. She may be stubborn when it comes to being right or wrong but other than that she is very chill and will let things stay the same. Once she has gotten past the shy stage with a person she can talk with them about almost anything, letting them see how she's very calm and cool at the same time. Her homework is very easy to her so she waits awhile to work on it, giving time for others to try and get it done so she can check answers before finalizing her own work.

Curious and Observant:

Focused:

Flaws:

Nervous and Insecure:

Stubborn: Lucinda will rarely back down in a fight, no matter the odds.

Obsession with good grades:

I'm not sure if I did the fear ability right but I think it's ready to be open for crits?
PostPosted: Thu Sep 15, 2011 5:03 pm


Ninjagami Ryo Kage

Nicknames: Luci, Stiff, Sharp shot, and Creeper Reaper.


Is there a particular reason behind these nicknames, other than Luci? Are these names given to her by characters in her backstory? If so, what prompted them?

Ninjagami Ryo Kage

Personality: She's very shy around others but once a topic comes up that she knows or is interested in, she talks like there's no tomorrow. She's very insecure about her intelligence and appearance since she was teased for looking human.


The bolded sentence is pretty much nonsense. Why would she be teased for looking human? Almost all reapers appear human; they are not rare, nor are they weird. While insecurity can be a valid and playable character trait, the reason you've given just doesn't work for the Halloweentown setting. Also, a character who's been teased and taunted to such an extent would be likely to be much more withdrawn and antisocial. Being tormented by other children leaves psychological scars that will change a character's behavior considerably.

Ninjagami Ryo Kage
She's easily sent into a sad state but just as easily sent into a happy one by a friend or something interesting happening. She's very rash though and will run into a fight without thinking in order to show that she's somewhat strong.


This sounds very generic and doesn't tell me a lot about the character. I think what you're trying to say here is that she's a very emotional person, but you could rephrase it and flesh it out more to make that clearer. You could also expand on her personality a lot more. What are her ambitions? What does she want to do after she's finished school? What are her quirks? Who does she want to be like? What about herself does she not want others to know?

Ninjagami Ryo Kage

Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? She wants to try to talk to others in order to find out more about the inhabitants of Halloween. She also wants to enroll since she loves to learn and to test her brain.


Again, this just plain doesn't make sense. She IS an inhabitant of Halloween; she has grown up in Halloween. The way you've written this, it sounds like she's from somewhere else, doing some sort of cultural study.

Loving to learn and test herself, on the other hand, is a decent reason. You could elaborate more on that as well. Does she push herself in all areas? Is she an academic student or is she looking for practical, useful knowledge to help her in her future life and/or career?

Ninjagami Ryo Kage

FEAR Ability:
Year One: Target Practice
She uses skulls or in the case of the musket she tries to shoot at the enemy The accuracy and the shape of the smoke explosion can be effected by the dice roll? Lower number means a smaller or less scary looking shape appears. A perfect roll (not sure which dice at the moment) would mean a skull and crossbones or a reaper shape.

Disadvantage: If it misses by a lot and turns into a shape of a spider or another creepy crawler, it may blow back towards her and mess with her vision for a moment.

Year Two:Boom Skull Shot?!
She aims for the head but odds are she misses and ends up having the smoke ball explode near the opponents face. The rolls would effect the type of smoke and color, perhaps another dice for accuracy. Ranging from a slight smell to a full one smell of rotting corpses.

Disadvantage: If she misses or is too close, she gets the smoke all over herself too. It could cause her to stumble or get dizzy from it depending on the level of the miss and the type of the smoke.

Year Three: (not sure if this is right) Death Shot
She shoots a larger skull bullet that explodes into a huge black cloud with a reaper shape to it. If it does a lot of damage the smoke rises up in a skull in cross bones shape. The higher the dice roll means the higher chance of an effective hit?


Don't speculate on the dice roll mechanics. That's not something you need to worry about. If your character is accepted, dice will be worked out later.

I can't quite tell what you're going for with the ability. Is she trying to injure her opponent, hamper them in some way, or is it a psychological effect?

Ninjagami Ryo Kage

Disadvantage:


Adding some character flaws will help make the character more interesting, both to others and for you as a player. Flawless characters are boring.

Ninjagami Ryo Kage

Skin Colour: Very pale from being out only at night in cemeteries.


There's no sun in Halloween, so she wouldn't be tanning anyway.

Ninjagami Ryo Kage

Extra: Her weapon is either a set of Marionette crosses, a shovel which she wields like a Katana, or a musket that shoots skull shaped bullets. She would rarely shoot it until after year one since she would have to work on her aim. She would use it more of something to hit someone with like the shovel. It's more like a musket from the old fairytales, very simple looking? Much like the bird hunting rifle Gaston has in Beauty and the Beast.


You'll have to choose one weapon. She can't switch between three.

Marionette crosses: This makes little sense with her character concept. Since you've leaned more heavily on the corpses and gravedigging aspect, using marionette-themed weapons is out of place; you would also need to figure out an appropriate weapon function for the crosses.

Shovel: While I like the concept of a shovel weapon for a necromantic reaper, a shovel is more of a blunt implement than a bladed weapon. Also, since your character has no basis in Japanese mythology, there is absolutely no reason for it to be anything like a katana. Frankly, referring to it that way just makes the concept sound silly.

Musket: A valid weapon choice, but again, not very well related to the character theme.

You could also consider going the familiar route for her weapon. Since she is a necromancer, a skeletal or zombified animal familiar could be an interesting familiar.

Ninjagami Ryo Kage

References: She's an oc of mine and I'll have a few drawings of her up here soon.


When adapting OCs to a new setting, it's wise to keep in mind that they may need to be drastically altered to fit in decently. While you have a character here who sounds like she may be an okay fit in terms of appearance, you'll need to do some extensive thinking about her background and personality after you read the setting information over more carefully. Reading profiles that belong to currently enrolled students would also be a good idea; it will give you ideas as to how to describe a well-rounded and playable character.

As it currently is, your quest sounds more superficial and based on appearance and looking "cool" than about making a character that will be interesting to roleplay and to roleplay with. Keep working on it and thinking about it.

Prolixity

1. Is there a particular reason behind these nicknames, other than Luci?

2. Are these names given to her by characters in her backstory?

3. If so, what prompted them?

4. What are her ambitions?

5. What does she want to do after she's finished school?

6. What are her quirks?

7. Who does she want to be like?

8. What about herself does she not want others to know?

9. Does she push herself in all areas?

10. Is she an academic student or is she looking for practical, useful knowledge to help her in her future life and/or career?


11. Is she trying to injure her opponent, hamper them in some way, or is it a psychological effect?



1,2,and 3. Her brother came up with the two nicknames of Stiff and Creeper Reaper. Stiff came from the way she would sit or stand almost motionless for many hours while focusing on studies or reading. He was always moving around and fidgeting so she compared her to the corpses they bother would mess around with. Creeper Reaper came from the way she would quietly sneak up to him or other people without being noticed until she said something or someone saw her sneak by. Sharp shot is something she writes about when she is practicing with her musket. She wants people to say that about her to boost her self-esteem when it comes to her abilities.

4 and 5. She wants to become a stronger person and to make a lot of friends since all the friends she knew were her brother's. (still thinking about this section)

6. She's a little awkward around people and often mixes up what she means to say. She also has a hard time focusing on conversations except when she knows a lot about what is being talked about. She dislikes and likes change, when appearances change it irks her yet she is ok a change in schedule or interests.

7. In a way, she wants to be like her brother. She wants to be outgoing and talented in skill along with academics. But she also wants to surpass him and to show him that he was wrong about her.

8. She doesn't want others to know about how she felt about what happened between her and her brother. She also wants to keep the fact that she wants to sing a secret. She wants to hide a lot of things from people so they don't laugh at her for whatever reason whether or not it makes sense for people to laugh.

9. She does try to push herself in all areas but she also tries to stick to her comfort zones. Science is always her favorite class no matter what type it is. But she even tries to push herself to attempt to talk to others.

10. She leans more towards academics but she does want to learn practical things and skills to use in life.

11. The first ability is an attempt to cause a psychological effect on the opponent but the second ability leans more towards hampering or annoying the opponent.
