Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Cathleen Gregory

Nickname: Cat

Age: 19

Fav. Food: Seafood

Hated Food: Jellybeans (eek)

Hobbies:

Star Gazing - To Cathleen there is something very charming and mysterious about the sky especially at night. She would spend days on the roof of her house and looking at the night sky twinkling with stars. The vastness of the space is truly astounding. It is a soothing experience. The night sky has always been a mystery to her. She's not experienced but she can probably be able to tell what constellations is what. She can stare at the sky for hours upon hours and never be bored asthere is always a new star that hasn't been looked at yet or something like a fast beam of light racing across the sky.

Haunted houses - Cathleen is not scared of no ghost. If you tell her that the old house on the corner of the street is haunted chances are she will breaking in the house to spend a night and see for herself. The thought of actually coming face to face with a ghoulish ghost sends a chill down her back. Her friends asked her why she would like something so horrid. To her its the same as liking theme parks, or horror movies the thrill and adrenalin that she gets.

Camping - Camping for Cathleen means being able to not only star gaze but to be out in the wild. She likes to sleep under the stars. She likes the joy of being outdoors, hearing the sounds of nature, the smell of fresh open air. To her its always good to be out of the "norm" and enjoy family, and cooking out. If you ask Cathleen why she really likes camping it would be taking a break from reality. The laundry, and all other drama, and stress is left behind.
The clean air, the challenge of a good hike, the sunrises, the campfire, even the all-powerful lure of the s'more -- all of this pales in comparison to hanging around with my good friends for some real "quality time."

Virtues:

Compassion - Cathleen has a lot of love in her heart. If she see shes someone in pain, or who is stricken by misfortune, she would feel sympathy and would be driven by a strong desire to alleviate that persons suffering and misfortune. She would show a genuine interest in the other person's suffering. And would listen to their problems. She believes that warm hug goes a long way to comforting a distressed friend. Cathleen is always thinking of something to do for a friend in need, finding a way to brighten their day and let them know that someone cares.

Humble - Cathleen doesn't really have much. She never had a reason to be arrogant or boastful. She knows that there are many people who don't have it the way she does. She knows that there are people out there who doesn't even have half of what she as. She always tells herself that there isn't a soul on this earth that is perfect in everything. She is always being humbled by putting others first.

Hospitable - Cathleen is always friendly and welcoming to everyone especially guests. She is always there to lend a hand to someone in need. If you go over Cathleen's house expect to be treated like your in a five class hotel. She even treats people like that if she is visiting them. Once she is over your house she takes right over and will make you tea, or coffee treating your kitchen like her own.


Flaws:

Blunt - Sometimes Cathleen's need to help people and her big fat mouth can get her in all kinds of trouble. It's sometimes difficult for her to be forthright about a situation and not give offense. Shes very outspoken when comes to things that concern her. If she sees someone getting bullied she will not only voice her opinion on the situation but she will get all up in the bully's face. She would be so Outspoken that she would tell you the truth about everything. She has little tact and will tell you the truth about everything all the time.

Personal space - Cathleen grew up in a loving touchy feely kinda environment. She thrives on physical contract and doesn't really know what boundaries are. And being the compassionate person that she is she will be giving you lots of physical contract even if you want it or not. She is even like this to total strangers. She also doesn't understand why people get mad at her when she is like this.

Nosey - With her friendly personality and wanting to reach out to and befriend everyone, Cathleen doesn't know what the word privacy means. She will come and invade your personal space. It sometimes leads to poking her nose in where it...might not particularly belong. There is no pushing her away. She really likes to be in other people's business because the truth of it all is that she finds other people's life more exciting than hers. Be ready to be drilled with questions. Cathleen will want to know how a persons day went from the moment they woke up to the moment they go to bed. She would want every detail. It can be quite nervering. Some people don't want to be her friend because of this.

N/A

Just some minor notes here. I can try a more in-depth crit later.

First, I'd suggest having at least 3 virtues and 3 flaws. While not required, it really does help flesh out a character, giving you a better idea of how they'd work in an Rp.

Now for the weapon. I think you might be able to take some inspiration from this myth, both for weapon evolutions and powers. I currently see something like this:

Stage 2 = Longer necklace. Can fly to a chosen target and bind them (single bind).

Stage 3 = Very long (body length?), fancy necklace. Can fly to and bind a chosen target and wrap/bind them like a python, squeezing painfully.

Will try and update and finish my quest so I can begin rping with you lovely people by next week. RL has been taken up my time.

Just a small comment. I'm pretty sure that a knight has to be holding onto his or her weapon to make the magic work! The item itself isn't magical, but rather it channels magic from the knight! (Unless I'm totally wrong, then someone please correct me, but that's how I've understood it!)

So... I don't think the necklace can leave her hands to bind someone. D:

Both Iris and Guine are correct. Duat should be using her weapon to channel her magic, not using the weapon itself to perform the attack. Think of it more like an oddly shaped wand [you wouldn't throw your want at someone!].

Additionally, binding attacks fall under the realm of Saturn, and therefore do not fit her planetary theme. You're going to have to find something more beneath the umbrella of your planet.

She looks good as a civilian, however, though you may want to change the name of her first flaw from "Outspoken" to "Blunt".

Hey, Death! This profile looks like it's almost ready for a stamp! The only thing I can point out about it is on the magic of the weapons!

Knight magic does not work in the same way as senshi magic; they get a pool of magic that they can choose to channel whenever they want. They can either use all of it at once or break it up. For example, for squire stage she has thirty seconds where she could bind someone—she could either use this thirty seconds at once or break it up. I don't think the part where 'it cannot be used again for a couple of hours' is necessary!

I would like to ask—the themes of Chronos are "Growth, change, protection," so the magic of one of her knights has to reflect this in some way. Is the binding of her target meant to reflect protection (as in, keeping Duat save by protecting her from people who would wish her harm?) If so, that makes sense to me, but it might help to include that information so people can see how the attack ties in with the power themes of Chronos!

We also have a rule that says a character cannot be totally immobilized for more than fifteen seconds at a time; if she is binding them, it would be okay if she was binding a part of them but at least some part was still free (for example, if she was binding their arms, they could still run to avoid an attack, or if their legs were bound they could still try to fend off attacks that might be coming their way even if they couldn’t run). Otherwise, that looks fine!

For her Knight magic, I have the same feedback from the above attack, but a few other questions! When you say that this magic binds two people, does it mean it can bind two targets to each other or two totally separate targets? A knight's magic has to be held to be channeled, so in the instance of this and her squire magic, it means she would have to be touching her weapon (the necklace) and channeling the magic through it, so I think it might be best if you said that ethereal/magical chains in the design of the necklace sprouted around her targets to bind them. But, this would allow her to attack two totally different targets easily! I would also like to ask how long the duration of this magic would be! Since it is her Knight stage, she is allowed to have a slightly longer duration!

Please quote me and let me know if you have any questions or comments, or make any changes, and I'll be back as soon as possible! I am really excited to get Duat stamped and can't wait to see her in play!
