Name: Ginger Crispin

Nickname: “Cookie”

Age: 18

Birthday: July 31

Sign: Leo

Gemstone: Ruby

Blood Type: O+

Fav. Food: Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ice Cream, Warm Apple Pie, Pot Roast… generally comfort foods. Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese are her go to combo.

Hated Food: Creamed Spinach, Mushrooms, Cilantro

School: DCU Freshman

Hobbies:

-Boxing: A high energy young woman, she loves the adrenaline and the organized chaos. It’s not that she can’t fight dirty, and she certainly has, but she likes the combination of rules and ferocity, and the fact that it might cause some people to do a double take just makes her enjoy it more.

-Yoga: This started out just to help her control her moods when she was younger, and to be entirely honest, she’s horrible at it, she continues to be horrible at it, and will probably continue to struggle with it in the future… but she likes that it’s something to focus on, and even if she keeps falling over trying to do the Crescent Moon and will never live down nearly concussing herself (somehow) doing Downward Dog, it makes her feel centered, but also keeps her moving, which helps it work better for her than straight up meditation.




Virtues:

This Girl is On Fire:- It’s hard to beat Ginger for pure enthusiasm, she has a considerable amount of get up and go, and loves the life she’s living, even the bumpy patches, because it’s her life, and she’ll fight to do it her way. She embraces optimism as though it's a life saving force, keeping her head above water, and tries to use it for the good of others as well

Human Shield if you need someone to stand between you and as many problems as she's able, Ginger is your woman. Especially with bullies or other abusers; she won't play games, verbal or physical, and her go to is to try and scare the scary right back. Inspired by old tales of the times when one “Super Van” roamed the streets, she likes to think of herself as something of a hero to the down trod ones, particularly those who she counts as close to her or within her protection. Even if it's just for show; she's happy to show off her customized baseball bat. Pink, and covered in glitter and stickers, and the phrase “fight like a girl”. Preferably describing it is enough, but she'd rather get in trouble herself than see someone else get in trouble or get hurt. She's already assumed her reputation to be set in stone; the girl who fights, why shouldn't she take the hits if it helps?

Mother Bear: Ginger is the type, to make sure her friends and family have everything they need. The "Mom Friend" there is very little that Ginger isn't prepared for. Her bag is full of any item that someone might need. She's always willing to lend a shoulder to cry on or an ear to listen, even going as far to give her friend perhaps unsolicited advice.

Flaws:

Play with Fire; get burned This sunny; hot tempered young woman does her best to fight for a good cause; if partially because damned if she's not a bit good at getting into fights or jumping into them? Once she's in an argument it's a down hill slide until she's considering solving it with a punch; something she struggles to have a hand on but old habits are a b*****d. Men are particularly vulnerable to this flaw; as for better or worse she seems to retain the conviction that the best way to get through a point to them is via percussionary discourse.

Doubts, I've got a Few: Ginger isn't dumb; far from it; but she struggles to see her own intelligence, at least any time some degree of battle or gut level; instinctive judgement is involved. Her self defeating attitude tends to lead to an assumption that she'll fail more intellectually challenging tasks, and becomes a self fulfilling prophecy when she doesn't try or doesn't give it her all; preferring to leave it to people she's judged her superior, which tend to be friends.

Opinionated: Ginger has opinions, strong ones, on the state of the world and certain policies and ideas that currently make the world work. She is very vocal with these opinions, whether she aught to be or not.


PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION


Eyes: Amber, slightly almond shaped

Hair: Vivid, faintly rusty red like a sunset, with dyed in blonde streaks all throughout it. Unbraided it’s prone to subtle but unkempt waves, braided it likes to come out of it’s braid in wild fly aways she’s constantly, distractedly brushing away rather than dealing with.

Face: Shape, features -- tell us if your character has a round or oval or heart-shaped face, freckles or not, big ears or not.

Clothes:

Tattoos- A dragon and flowering branches covers a lot of Ginger’s front left side, and she has others open for interpretation by her first artist. She has a fondness for dangerous animals combined with flowers. Say, a scorpion surrounded by cactus blooms or the like might be on her arm.

Attacks:

Sailor Scout Attack: Imperatrix Needles:

Imperatrix lays hands on her opponent and from her hand, the sensation of being stabbed with over and over again with threaded needles radiates out from her hand. This is a token to one of the oldest forms of tattooing, dragging charcoal covered thread dragged through the skin with needles. The attack spreads for approximately a foot of body surface up from the hands, even once her touch is disrupted, and can be instigated even through cloth. While no physical damage is left, the opponent may feel as if they cannot use the body part that has been ‘tattooed’ to due numbness and soreness left behind. It lasts approximately 30 seconds and can be used 3 times a night.


Super Sailor Scout Attack: Imperatrix Needle Blooms:.

Similar to the earlier attack, Imperatrix must make at least brief contact with her opponent with at least a small part of her hand. While it starts at the touch point, the sensation jumps rapidly to areas more tender for tattooing, where there’s little padding of flesh over bone, and feels as though multiple needles are being tapped aggressively into the skin, over and over, for 40 seconds. Unlike the previous attack, this one has the (optional!) ability to draw small spots of blood from the shallow pinpricks. Though in spite of the tattoo like assault, no permanent marks are actually made and the attack is highly unlikely to draw massive amounts of blood. While not life threatening and mostly painful, it is intended to be highly distracting leaving the areas numb and sore.



Can be used twice a night


Eternal Sailor Attack: Imperatrix Hold Fast

Imperatrix’s need to touch drops as her attack becomes more powerful, and at this point she only needs to be within five feet of her foe to cast her magic, this one coming with the illusion of flying, inked needles in a cloud rushing toward the victim, who, again, suffers (optional)bleeding in tandem with the stabbing in sensitive areas, and this time, finds that an exposed area of flesh now reads, for the duration of the magic “Hold Fast”.
(Emphasis that these pinpricks are very shallow, and will never be life threatening as they are magical in origin, and do not always appear.)

And in this case ‘Hold fast’ means magic. While the characters can continue to move and fight as they normally would for a character of their rank, they are unable to concentrate to teleport, mirror walk, or use their magical abilities for the sixty seconds until the tattoo fades, leaving only the bleeding from the tattooing needles. In fact, like ink spreading through tissue paper, while the subject hit with the tattoo is the primary victim, they might not be the only one, as anyone standing within 10ft (?) finds themselves to be similarly impacted, though outside of this radius the effect fades.

Can be cast once a night, twice at risk of exhausting herself to the point of needing to retreat, making it unwise to repeat without another fighter on hand, and lasts for 60 seconds.

Hey, Ryu!

I'm sorry you had to wait for crit, but I just have one small thing for Imperatrix's Eternal! A 60 second duration is a bit long, would you be okay with cutting it to 45 seconds? Otherwise I think a 10ft radius around the primary target is fine, and the effect is really clever, locking down magic!

Also, what's standing in for the chest bow in her powered art? Some sort of frontal decoration is required for Senshi; it's pretty loose, but you don't have anything mentioned so I wanted to ask!

Quote me once you've made changes and I'll be back~

Hi Song; thanks for the input, though I have a quick question.
What exactly about ‘Trix’s magic is too long? I’d understand more if she were doing real damage, but as is, while no doubt quite unpleasant, it’s not much of an offensive attack, doing no real damage, but giving others a chance to move in. If she were doing serious damage more on par with say, Alphard, or fully locking people in place, I’d definitely give her a shorter time frame, but there’s nothing to stop people impacted with this magic from using their weapons, or improvising one, or just using their fists or feet as they feel necessary. I’m ok with making changes I just want to know what about it is unreasonable so I know for the future.


Art wise: I have already been contacted but Kuro, who has taken her on, and she has the references, a good understanding of rules, and open contact with me as she needs it to discuss any details not apparent in the concept sketch. Thanks for your concern.

Hey Ryu!

Primarily, it's that very few characters have magic longer than forty-five seconds per use; while her magic isn't damaging and is merely an anti-magic lockdown, a full minute is just generally longer than we allow for any magic. (I'm sure there are examples of magic lasting that long, but they're few and far between.)

So it's less her specific spell and more magic in general.

As for the art, that's fine, thank you!

Hey Song: Thanks for your input. I did actually do some further digging since your initial post and inquired further, since I’ve been in the shop for a while and I’ve always seen an inverse relationship between the ability of an attack to do damage and its duration, so I went ahead and asked Kyu to confirm that I hadn’t gathered an incorrect impression in the years I’ve been in Moonshop. We did debate for a bit and she concluded that Imperiatrix’s attack being what it is is alright at a full minute for these reasons, but I do appreciate your concerns.
