User ImageAMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM

Name: Jaqueline Colorado
Nicknames: She has none...yet. Don't ever call her Jackie.
Gender: Female
Age: 16

Faction: Demon
Race: Colour Demon

Natural Ability: Able to change the color of an object, usually inanimate, but she can temporarily change organic creatures.


Personality:
~Jaqueline is determined. Once she puts her mind to doing something, she'll do anything it takes to get it done. She's not afraid to get down and dirty if she needs to, and resents anyone that calls her weak.
~She's not shy about her accomplishments either, she'll brag to anyone that will listen, and sometimes to those who wont. If she's doing something, and she believes someone's watching her, she'll make herself look, or at least try to, amazing while doing it. She doesn't care who you are, she knows she's awesome, and if you know it too, you're just really good at observing the obvious.
~She doesn't care who you are, or how sensitive you are, she always tells you the truth. She says what's on her mind when it's on her mind.
~No matter who you are, you'll always be able to tell what kind of mood she's in. The reason this is? Her eyes give it away. No, not because the eyes are the window into the soul. Soul? Does she even have one? Her eyes are like a mood ring, but these actually work. And you can read her if you know what the colors mean.
~She won't let you know, at least not on purpose, that she does care and feel what you do. She likes being around people, she just happens to use the wrong methods to make them like being around her.


Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy?
Simply put, she wants to be the best. She wants to be the leader of a club - any club, she's amazing at everything, right? She wants to get straight As in her classes - easy, right? Her parents instilled in her since birth that she's nothing but the best, and that nothing but the best is expected of her. She WILL be the best, she WILL be the most powerful, and she WILL be the most popular.


FEAR Ability:
Rainbow Projectile Acid: A spew of rainbow colored acid comes forth from, you guessed it, her mouth. It doesn't hurt much at first, but it keeps dealing damage over time.


Physical Description:

Eye Colour: RAINBOW~!
Hair Colour/Style: Very long, like, trailing on the ground, and thick. White for the colour.
Skin Colour: Pale flesh tone.
Clothing Style/Colours: A white, belted leather leotard thing, with only one sleeve, being extra long and trailing to the ground, and the other side shoulder showing. White fuzzy legwarmers starting from just below the knee and covereing white boots.
Extra:
~ White Horns, curved and branching off three times. (Consort tektek Reference)
~ Typical demon tail, white, with a glowing rainbow orb right before the spade.
References:
~ Tektek Reference
~ Sketch (Not included yet)

How the Color Demons came into existence:

In many cultures the rainbow is considered evil, something to fear. Some believe the rainbow to be a snake, others believe it to be a 'painted devil', and yet others believe it to be all of the above~! The Karens of Burma believe the that when the rainbow appeared that the 'painted demon' was there to devour their children. Other cultures also hid their children from rainbows when they appeared and others forbid their children from merely looking upon the spectacle.

It didn't happen overnight, because the fear was from small parts of the world. But over time, the collective fear of the rainbow brought the color demons to life.

o/ Hey there! Thought I'd give critting a go, since you asked for one in thread~~ C:

First off, I gotta say that her personality sounds interesting. C: It's always good to see a strong/determined character! I can definitely see both good and bad points in her personality, which is good--it's important to keep a balance!

Her race is interesting! I just wanted to point out that Amityville is a place for students to learn/develop skills in order to scare humans. That being said, I was curious how color demons go about doing so? A few examples of demon characters in this shop include a spider demon who can sprout legs from her back and dream/nightmare demons who can twist and devour dreams. Her natural ability is to change the color of objects, but how can this be used to terrify a human being? O:

Thank you so very much for your crit~ I really appreciate it. <3

Well I thought of that too~ and right now she doesn't seem that scary, only being able to change one object at a time, and a small object at that. What I thought of was kinda like Silent Hill~ you're looking at some area and you come back and it's completely changed in look. And, although you see the nurses and whatnot, you've no idea what made the change~ That's where she comes in. How terrified would you be if you were walking down a hallway and it just started changing on you. Everything turns red or black and patterns you can't discern are just appearing on the walls and floor and ceiling? It sort of can make her a 'team player' of sorts.

HI.

So, after reading through your quest, I would like to raise one major concern I have. In this setting, for a creature not a minipet to come into existence, a HUGE amount of fear is needed! This means that it must be a fear/phobia that is relatively widespread - for example, bugs, drowning, failure, blood, dentist, etc. - or have a really good myth to base it on - for example, bigfoot, yeti, various youkai, grim reaper.

So, it is not about HER being not scary right now. It is about her RACE being not scary; I find it hard - and I'm speaking from a GM point of view - to understand/see how the fear of color generated enough fear to create a whole race of demons... If you are insistent on keeping her race the way it is, I would suggest doing research on myths - see if there are any myths/legends in the world that is connected to color/the use of color/etc! (:

Your example with the 'scene changes' in SH is an example that doesn't fit, unfortunately. ;; Her ability is limited to colors, while in SH, the changes in the environment are vast and varied; it is more than just about color - things peel away, grow in age, everything looks like it's covered in rust, etc. If anything, that sort of ability falls under the power of illusion, like the ability possessed by our resident kitsunes, Tomoko and Remi.

Also... Mood ring eyes. While I think some people might be able to pull that off, mood ring eyes are usually considered a Mary Sue character trait. Just putting it out there for you; not sure if you were trying to be ironic/funny, or if you were serious about it. :'D

Thanks a lot for the insight. And, I do realize that her race is iffy, and I AM willing to change it after some research if I don't find anything scary enough. With the whole reference to SH was just a vague reference to what she could possibly do. I haven't seen much of the video games, haven't played only watched, so it was merely a..I honestly lost my train of thought and can't think of the words anymore. Anyway, and the whole mood-eyes thing, that was just supposed to be a weird, funny quirk thing and I can take that out if I'm asked/need to.

Honestly I think a fear of color is fine. I could see that for sure o u o b.

I agree with the mood ring eyes though. That is a hard route to go down but other than that I think a color demon is a cute idea. I believe you are allowed to make up species of your own. I have an Arctic Gryphon and one of my weapons is a Were Penguin. So like. o u o b
