[S/D] Eureka Academy: Second Semester

A Bard? Very interesting. If her talents are used outside of battle, hypothetically speaking, could Maya Kimaya cause one to fall asleep with one of those soft lullaby type of songs?

If she is so exceptionally gifted with her voice, magically and all, the effects of that voice should be most difficult to be resistant to, so I could see a soothing song outside of the intensity of battle, could take on a whole different effect when one is in a more relaxed environment. :awesome:

Just adds some depth to the character's talent, really like the look of that character, not just some warrior bashing or slashing with their weapon(s), or typical spell slinging mage, but a Bard, so good going there. :)
 
Name: Athena Hale

Age: 17

Title: Disciplinary Committee First Chair

Appearance :
rena.jpg


Tall enough at five seven with light, coppery brown hair falling to her shoulders in a neat yet elegant style, Athena has a slender form more attuned to ranged combat using her magic than physical attacks, with a form lacking in physical defense.

With deep brown eyes in a slightly angular face, Athena rarely smiles, leaving her face looking rather smooth; almost as if it has been carved out of porcelain. She wears a typical school uniform with the sleeves rolled up for a slightly altered, yet still within the dress code appearance.

Class: Black Mage

Personality: Lawful Neutral/LawfulGood later on

Athena is by nature a good student, always obeying rules and keeping order within the school as a member of the Disciplinary Commitee. She sometimes goes above her own moral code to impose slightly cruel punishments upon the students. However, she has been known to show slightly more compassion to the students than Raistlin, who she see's as being too old fashioned and willing to hurt the students.

She has quite a warm exterior, but very protective of all students, and not afraid to take out her considerable talents to use on any who perform an act she deems unjust. She is a little less crude and cold than Raistlin.

With a far reaching patience and a natural, though silent confidence and charisma, Athena is a born leader, similar to her fellow Disciplinary Committee members, and likes to become actively involved in missions and assignments handed out by Eureka Academy's esteemed headmaster.

Weapons: A fan for blocking magical assaults.

A pair of gold sacrificial knives, wickedly sharp and designed to tear and rip at the enemy for maximum pain and damage

A single rapier for fast, elegant combat.

Abilities: Control and manipulation of every element to a high degree. However, Water, Air, Light and Electricity are her forte.

Telekinesis and short range teleportation.

Flight by manipulating air currents.

Healing.

History: Born to a noble family, but decided to learn the ways of magic instead of living a luxurious life off the family investments, and so joined the Academy, and quickly rose up the ranks to become a Black Sect member as one of the best students in her class.

Instead of joining student council, she chose to join the Disciplinary Commitee, to keep its leader in check and to make the Academy a much better place.

Black Sect

I promise to stay active this time. D=

Okay minor gripe:

I've never gotten the obsession with "white", "red/blue" and "black" magic as descriptors... I mean i would assume healing magic, a traditional sub sect of the 'white' branch could be used to inflict as much damage as it can solve if you would employ it to throw balance out of whack... Or to use big elemental magics, traditionally black for the big overkill mayhem it generates, could be used to extinguish a rampant bushfire, either by just dropping half an ocean on it or by "removing the fire" with fire magic:S

I get that it's an easy descriptor based on Final Fantasy and other rpgs but isnt magic "neutral"?? I mean to me it's always sounded like "evil letters" or "good plastic" the magic is neutral it's the CASTER who gives it a purpose and meaning... Just try and keep in mind that not everyone has played FF:) (same with "monk abilities" i would suspect these include having an awesomely stupid haircut and singing in a Gregorian choir???)

Yeah I've been reading the Dresden files recently...
 
@ Wolf: Kamiya Wolf. Kamiya. And yes. When she begins to properly train to use her powers, they will steadily become relatively devastating. Sleep will be one of the more minor effects. Delusions and such willbe added to her repertoire.

@Frau: All good then XD

@ FF: Sorry to be an ass, but i dont quite care as to how the user sees it. Fire has always been used generally for destruction, and we are catering for the general. If the magic is destructive by nature, then its black. Its not the element in any case, its destructive magic. Any skills that you teach that is mainly used for destruction will be black, regardless of other application. I don't see how any one could use healing magic in a negative way anyhoo.

But if it pleases you, call it destructive magic then. Healing magic , Spatial magic etc.

On an entirely different side note, im sure the colour black and white can give an indication of its nature. Black has always been dealt with death and vise versa.

Its not like im telling you you HAVE to use the examples i give you. What i meant is to be a bit more descriptive in your class topic so i dont have repeated class like last time. Over half the staff taught destructive magic.

Say its general outline EG Destructive: then what type of destructive magic. If there is two destructive magic teachers teaching different types, thats good.

Those asking questions this early should realize that I'm not finished with the information of it. Please refer to the old RP for any simple questions you may have. Oh and those who simply c&P their bios should include the like and dislikes sect for their IDs. Thanks and That will be all ^^

EDIT All bios approved. Although Himeno please give Faith more History. At least 5 lines of text would be good. Characters need good history to start out with ^^

[ inb4 tl;dr ]

Name: Estrella Briller

Age: 21

Title: Disciplinary Committee

Class: Sage/Ranger

Race: Owl Hybrid (80% human, 20% barn owl). She was born human, but it was discovered that there are the genes of a barn owl in her system. Her eye color would be the only visual hint of this, but her genes are greatly linked to her abilities and somewhat affect her personality, but there aren’t enough to alter the rest of her physical form.

Personality: [Chaotic Neutral] Estrella usually looks content by cover. But as time has passed in her lifetime, she has been going through slight phases of depression, but does very good to not let it show. Like most people who suffer the same disease, hers was caused by family tension as well as another unknown ailment she has. Physically and mentally, she tries to keep herself well and nurtured, yet with the circumstances that have been occurring in her city, it is nearly a mental war to her. Due to numerous events that have occurred between her and nearly everyone she's become close to, she has taught herself not to trust anyone, not even her family.

She usually hates going outside during the daylight, but whenever she’s obligated to she spends more time indoors or someplace covered with vast amount of shade. Due to the instincts added into her from her barn owl genes, she is extremely uncomfortable during the day, mostly in concern that it’s the time where enemies wander the most – whether in search for her or to see her as a target for their next act. As much as she has the capability to fight them off, she does well to keep the circumstance away from innocent civilians so that they’re out of harm’s way, and saves any combat for during the night when she goes out the most and there are less people around.

She values the time spent alone whether if at her house or in a peaceful venue. Whenever she is alone, she feels more tranquil and describes her surroundings as her "safe zone". One of the hobbies she enjoys doing is either reading or writing - usually having a desire to learn more about what she hasn't seen or thought about before; and she's been very pleased with what she has found out about certain things. The topics she usually has interest in includes Ethology and rare locations around the planet, and she usually writes about the things she has discovered in a personal journal - being rare that she were to share it with anyone.

Estrella isn’t shy, but is wary with the people that she talks to. Sonria City is known to have a high death rating – with only a small portion being caused by natural aging - out of all of the cities on the continent; with her and a very few number of other citizens knowing what to do if ever in a unexpected situation. Depending on how a conversation starts out, she can classify someone as to being a threat or meaning no harm. When someone prods the side of her that she doesn’t like, she usually avoids interaction with them, since she can get very uncouth if she’s around a person she dislikes for too long. The only time she’ll get vicious (attitude wise) is when someone insults a relative, a friend, if she’s being attacked, or if someone disrespects anything personal about herself.

As for her romantic interest, Estrella has been in several relationships – most of them were short term, and the long term ones were highly valued, so she doesn’t mind the thought of having a significant other, though she hardly thinks about the topic. Currently, relationships are the last thing on her mind, but she hasn’t had a lot of bad experiences with each one that she’s been in. The thought of commitment isn’t something that she avoids, but she would have to put a lot of determination into it if she were to desire a long-term bond at any time. As much as she prefers to work alone, she doesn’t find it superfluous to have a partner or an accomplice to connect with now and then.

Weapon(s):

Sibylline Slayer [Longbow] – A platinum longbow that reaches about 6 ½ feet long in length, while the arrows are 3 feet long. The design on the bow is believed to be engraved on, with numerous medieval designs crafted on each side of the bow, not a single crevice to be seen. The shaft of the arrows are made of aluminum material while the broad-head is very sharp and made of pure obsidian, believed to be able to pierce through the thickest carapace. She carries about 20-30 arrows with her when using the bow, and when used properly and with good perspective, an arrow can travel a range of 200-400 meters; and since her stamina is pretty high, she can shoot up to 8 arrows within a minute before having to wait to do another round. It was given the term Sibylline due to the fact that no one knows who originally crafted it or where it was first discovered. The only other person known to use this weapon other than Estrella was her father, who had passed it on to her after the burn down of the city’s main monastery.

Ensorcelled Constrictor [Chain Whip] – A chain whip crafted with diamond shaped links. Other than the black thick-wooden rod to grasp with, the whole whip is made out of Osmium, making it hard to break and capable of taking immense damage. It has the capability of expanding in length, making it believable that it has a curse on it. In its beginning state the whip is only 7 feet long, but when it’s used especially for aerial, ranged, or swift enemies, it can magically expand itself on reflex up to 50 feet long. It is also a conductor of magic, whereas if any element of magic hits the chain hard enough and not the person wielding it, it can add magical damage done into the whip. Though Estrella uses this mostly for attacking it’s a good aid in trapping or catching enemies and it can compresses if whatever/whoever is caught struggles in the bind. There have been numerous occasions where people have attempted to steal this weapon, given the lie that they would be immortal if they ever became the new owner of it. But due to the curse on the whip, it'll only work properly with those who were seen as worthy of controlling it - Estrella being chosen because she is capable of controlling her sanity and desires. But due to the rumors of some of the past users losing control of their conscience because of over-usage of the weapon, Estrella prefers to only use it when absolutely necessary in battle.


Appearance:

estrellalookalike-1.png

[temporary look-alike until I can scan my original artwork of her.]
​

Weight: 120 lbs (54.43 kg)


Height: 5"8 (172.72 cm)


Skin Tone: Light Brown


Eye Color: Dark Goldenrod (Deep yellow)


Hair: It is silver in color and is very long, past the breast area and reaching towards her waist line, and her bangs are usually either blunt or parted to the side as a comb-over. It's naturally very straight but she can curl or braid it at times.


Body Type: Slim, Curvaceous


Distinguishing Marks: Estrella has several modifications done to her body, whether if it’s for symbolism, her own liking, or both. Located diagonally near her left eye is her silver single-stud anti-eyebrow piercing, which she sees as a symbolic tear in remembrance of all the lives that were taken from the people that were close to her. It is completely healed and not permanent, but she prefers to not take it out.

On her ears, she has three lobe piercings, and an industrial - which is can sometimes act as an amplifier of any sound waves that pass through the area, making it easier to hear anything especially quiet. Hanging on the center of the industrial barbell is a small purple star charm, which Estrella often calls a hint to figuring out her real name.

Along with her piercings comes her tattoos, three in counting, and depending on what number of circumstances she goes through, she may consider getting more - since all of them have a meaning about someone important in her life or something that has happened.

The first tattoo she had gotten was the Latin word "nocte" (night) on the inner wrist of her right hand. During the night is when she feels the most comfortable to roam, since the dark is an excellent camouflage and not as many threats wander around. The night is where she is the most focused and vigilant, and she can easily eliminate any danger that comes her way. During the night time is when Estrella finds the most tranquility, not being bothered by the commotion caused by humanity - whether she is asleep or outside enjoying the solitude.

The second tattoo was placed on the outer thigh on her left leg. It is a large illustration of a woman's headshot where the upper half of her head breaks up into ribbons, with vast amounts of flowers spike out of and around them. The only human like feature of the woman is the face and neck, while the rest of her is made up of efflorescence. Estrella believed that florescence was beauty, and that all people (men or women) had inner beauty. That could symbolize as inner strength, confidence, or the literal look of the physical being from the inside out - depending on how the person defines it as, but Estrella acknowledges it in all ways possible. The head and neck was outlined in black while the rest was outlined with hues of blue and purple.

The last tattoo Estrella had gotten is a lavender rose with a dark shadow surrounding it on her right foot. She considered the process of getting it done the most painful out of the three she has, yet it is her favorite out of all of them. The rose represents her current conscience - a fully bloomed rose meaning that she is fully aware and headstrong about her distinction between what's right and wrong, how she views society, and why she fights. She chose the color lavender for the rose because it is commonly believed in her hometown that it meant enchantment and discretion - both fitting into Estrella's being. She has witnessed spells being the cause of many miracles, ambiguities, and disasters, and she has discovered that she can do some supernatural acts of her own. She never judges anyone by appearance, beliefs, or opinions – but by their motives and actions. The shadow surrounding the rose resembles the society that she lives in. In a planet filled with people who try to constrict her space, take advantage of her or are just different in any kind of way, she is the rose that stays blossomed in all circumstances and does well to not let anyone prevent her from reaching an ambition.

Attire:
Casual - She wears a variety of different outfits at home, which are usually all silver or black. She prefers to wear light clothing when roaming different areas and not expecting combat. One outfit she's seen wearing the most in this condition is a black baby doll dress with a stretchable sequin waist belt. For shoes, she wears black small heeled boots that reach an inch or two past her ankle. Her hair is curled to somewhat match how the dress flows when she’s in motion and has two crystal hair pins placed on the side.

She also wears silver hoop earrings that look similar dream-catchers that people often ask her if they’re spellbound in anyway. But she has confirmed that the only thing mystic about them is the appearance. She also wears a necklace with an amethyst pendant which is a part of the jewelry collection that the Briller family considers sacred, each member containing their own piece of it with a special meaning. The amethyst stone in her pendant represents erudition, meaning she seeks the most knowledge out of everyone that is part of the family tree.

Sleepwear – When Estrella is about to sleep, she wears a raven black night gown that reaches down to her knees and has a slit in the thigh area in both sides of the gown so that she can move very easily. The gown is made of charmeuse, making it very soft, flowing, non-stretch, and it’s been described to feel similar to silk. Most of her hair is pulled back into a high bun, yet it is mostly hidden by the thick amounts of strands that hang loose over it. The only accessory that she has on is a silver ankle bracelet with small sapphire gem charms that glow when lunar light hits them.

Disguise - When going into areas where she may be prohibited from or need to blend with the crowd, Estrella can usually buy an outfit or uniform that is a well known style to the venue, or if the access to one is limited, she may have to steal or mug to get it. If she doesn't want to stand out at all in a specific area, she wears a large white cloak with a silver metallic line art pattern of an ancient tree covering the majority of the back. There are no sleeves, but there are multiple mini gold chains that connect from ends of each side of the hood that keep the cloak from falling off whenever she needs to use her arms for any type of action.

Her hair is styled as an up-do, it being pulled into a high ponytail with several strands of hair curled and her bangs pinned back. There are also a several micro braids in her hair that each have a different faded color bead to hold the braid in place. She also does well to hide her tattoos as they are sometimes the first thing some people notice if she stands out.

Apparatus A - Once she leaves her city, the main outfit that she usually wears is a black moderately tight back-laced corset with small silver gems along the top edges on the front. Her pants are also black and have a dark lace ribbon pattern along the inner calf area, and for shoes she wears 5 inch transparent heels that are criss-cross strapped and studded up to her ankle.

Her hair is wavy and a little more voluminous than it usually is. Covering the upper part of her left arm is a series of silver armbands, four in counting and each one having a different form, size, and origin that they were made; they have the slight capability of reflecting off magic attacks, but it’s a rare concurrence and rather acts as arm braces that increase magic resistance. She wears a black ribbon around her neck as a choker, small white pearls as earrings, and an amethyst gem stoned ring on her thumb. She prefers to wear this outfit more when going out during the dark, provided that it is a good camouflage so that she won’t be as easily seen by anyone in pursuit of her.

Apparatus B – Estrella also has an alternative outfit that she can choose to wear depending on her mood and the terrain she'll be exploring in. It is a small dress with the sleeves reaching to her elbows and is very low cut, having two mini straps connected across the exposed area. The upper half of the dress is black, while the bottom skirt part of it is a metallic gold color made of silken fabrics. In the waist area parting the upper part of the dress from the lower is a black silver-studded waist belt, tightly clutched to her comfort level. She wears satin leggings underneath her dress and black knee-high flat wedged boots that are designed with multiple small belt clutches, which are especially useful in walking in any sort of terrain.

Her hair is let loose and is completely straightened; As for accessories with this attire, she wears dangling crystal ring earrings that used to belong to her great grandmother - which are believed to never wear out because a charm was cast on them, not because of the material they're made of. The silver anti eyebrow stud is replaced by a black gem stud, making the piercing look more like a birthmark. All of her fingers on her right hand are decorated with rings, each one having a different shape and stone placed into them. Estrella also prefers to wear this outfit if she plans on using magic more than she usually does.


Abilities:

Enhanced Hearing – Barn owls have been known to have extremely good hearing. They use their hearing more than their sight to hunt down any prey that they desire during the night. The genes within Estrella affect her in the same way. Her hearing is a lot more receptive than an average human, and it is a large advantage to her whenever she is in pursuit of someone or something – being able to hear the slightest shift of a shoe against grime or a small leaf rustle. The same way applies to when she wants to remain unseen; she gets the advantage of hiding before someone notices by listening in to their approach several seconds before it is normally heard due to her vast audible range senses. This instinct can act as a weakness too, as noises that are normally considered very loud to a standard person can be extremely boisterous to Estrella – sometimes excruciating.

Immaculate Vision – Having eyesight of 20/10, Estrella can spot things far away as easily as people can spot things close by (within a 10 feet range average). She can also easily see things during the night that most likely would be tough to spot normally, such as a black snake coiled at the center of a large bush – and is can be useful when looking for items that are camouflaged with the surroundings. However, this excellent visual ability is also the source of her major sensitivity to sunlight. Each day, she can only be exposed to it for at most an hour before it begins to harm her visual senses, so she only goes outside during the day if it is absolutely mandatory. Any longer than an hour, then she can possibly go blind - temporarily or permanently, depending on how bad the damage is. If her eye color is a pale yellow instead of a sharp yellow, chances are she'll need treatment. She CAN, however, go out during the day as long as she wants if the weather is very cloudy, foggy, or if it's raining; just as long as she avoids too much contact with the sun's rays.

Chain Conduction - The metal that the Ensorcelled Constrictor is made of is known to be an excellent conductor. Whatever elements hits it strongly enough (about enough where the user is pushed back a little) - whether if its fire, water, lightning, or air - the chain will have the capability of giving magic attack damage to the opponent. The effect of the conduction only lasts for five minutes, but it gives plenty of aid during battles with mystical creatures and Mage type enemies.

Glide - Estrella doesn't have the capability of flying in any direction she wants or floating off the ground (levitating), but she is able to soar downwards through the air to reach a far and low area. The longest she can usually stay above ground while gliding is ten seconds, sometimes shorter if she has a very fast momentum or longer if her destination is very low.

Constriction - When the whip chain ensnares its target in a wrap, the whip acts as a trap so that the person or thing cannot move, gradually shrinking itself when it feels a bit of movement. If a lot of time is used during this process [5 minutes at most], the target would be expected to die from the immense amount of suffocation. The only known way to avoid taking too much damage from this attack would be to stay stiff for at least a minute before the constriction wears off automatically.

Magic : [Estrella is specialized mainly in light and dark magic since she has inherited the potential from her parents, and she is the only known sage in her hometown- more than likely the whole region- with only two elements of opposite powers being learned.]


Hikari [light];


Hallowed Purification – A holy-based spell; especially useful in fighting undead monsters. A large white circular crest illuminates beneath the target, as if it were scanning its mark, and beams of light pierce through the body from the bottom of the crest- at times lowering the magic resistance of the opponent if enough damage is taken (around where half the amount of life is taken, but that point is rarely reached). The amount of time for the crest to appear is at most five seconds, but the light penetration can occur within a blink of an eye.


Gradual Resurgence – A slow but effective recovery spell. It allows Estrella to heal herself or another person steadily, even working on the deepest wounds made to the body. The spell usually lasts for thirty minutes or until the damage has been completely repaired – and sometimes the process is unnoticeable due to how slowly it can progress and depending on how much harm was done to the body.


Verve Transfer – A helpful - but sometimes fatal enchantment where Estrella transfers her own energy or life to another person. The amount she chooses can be a fairly small amount (to heal a cut or scratch) or virtually enough to kill her (bringing someone back to life) – which thankfully she hasn’t had to use it to that point yet. If the target is undead, the effect would be reversed, seeing as then Estrella would be giving life to install damage to the enemy. The amount of time needed to recover the energy given depends on how much was given, and can range from five minutes to twenty four hours.


Pallid Enrichment – An invisible shield is cast around Estrella, raising her physical defense in combat [Defense = Up by 40% at most]. Lasts for the majority of battle.


Swords of Fluorescence - A wide ranged magic attack that can either be used to terminate a large number of enemies or to illuminate a dark room. A vast amount of light in the shape of swords form in the atmosphere, elucidating any hint of darkness near it. [Record for highest number of them being formed was 300.] The swords disappear after half an hour if that much time is needed to explore a dark region. When in a field with more than one enemy, the swords aim for a random target to shoot towards, and pierce right through the figures. Once that is done, the light swords simply disintegrate within the air.


Kurai [dark] ;


Comatose – This spell is most effectively at night and is used more when sneaking out instead in battle; and dark magic is used to send a person’s mentality into a trance – making the person unconscious but in a temporary dream state (mainly nightmares). However, Estrella would have to be in short range of her target in order to conduct this move [5 feet away at farthest].


Sentiment Deterioration – A magic used to null any protective spells being used on a person or an area. Therefore, this isn’t a spell that can be used just for battle, but to also bring the capability of passing through sacred barriers and gates that Estrella may need to pass through for any reason if she wills it.


Amorphous Silhouette – A dark spell used to hide Estrella whenever she’s trying to hide or is in disguise. The shadows engulf her figure in a shapeless black fog so that she may be camouflaged with the surroundings she’s in and slink past any threats that may lurk by her. Since the fog has no defined shape, Estrella has the capability of shape-shifting it, whether to fool a person by appearing as a complete stranger in a dim area or to convey fear to a person by making a form of a large fiend or spirit they may dread thinking about.


Acid Rain – An especially wide ranged spell, yet also takes a bit of energy to initiate since this is a magic attack that Estrella rarely uses unless there is a large number of enemies around or if she has to weaken an enemy with an immense amount of resistance to physical and magic attacks. A large black vortex is opened up in the sky, casting a shadow over the area it forms above, raining down a vast number of dark orbs that can deeply seethe on contact with skin. The largest the vortex can reach is about 40 feet in diameter, and won't harm allies in the targeted area. The orbs have a debilitating effect to whoever they hit; as the target’s life gradually decreases the longer the spell is in effect [can last for 5 minutes at most, depending on how much power Estrella is willing to exert.].


Other Skills :


Singing - Estrella was often told in her years of living in Sonria that she had a good voice, so she had decided to put it to use every so often. She had began her hobby of singing when she was 12 years old, whether if it was singing in any theatrical plays she was a part of or rhythemically rehearsing a chant for a ritual or ceremony. Sometimes she would sing herself to sleep if she has a hard time slumbering before sunrise or if something on her mind is bothering her.


Illustrating – Estrella loves to draw and make traditional artwork. She usually draws along the themes of nature, science fiction, or fantasy, and may paint her works if she feels the need to spend a lot of time doing so during her free time. The tattoos on her body were originally designed by her, and she has even made some designs for people that she knew well enough to gladly make one for. The largest piece that she's ever drawn was of a large portrait of the Sonria monastary that took about 8 hours total to fully sketch and shade in detail.


Multi-Instrumentalist - Not just skilled in singing, but Estrella has taken many interests in playing instruments as well. The majority of the ones she plays are wind instruments, such as the ocarina, flute, and saxophone, but she as also somewhat forced by her uncle to take piano lessons when she had grown past toddler age - and eventually grown to becoming a successful pianist that considered the lessons to pay off whenever an opportunity arises when the talent is needed. The instrument she enjoys playing the most is her silver ocarina, and she normally plays several tunes during the night.


Linguist - Estrella has learned that if she's ever to go far away outside of her hometown, she will more than likely be meeting people that speak a different language and dialect than her own and find some items that may need a translation. At that note, beginning around when she was finally able to speak, Estrella had began gradually learning different languages at a time. Out of the 4 she successfully learned how to speak and translated (Swedish, Latin, Japanese, and German), the hardest one for her to learn was Latin - taking five extra years to interpret the origin, structure, history, and the phonemes behind it. Presently, she can now understand the four languages whenever she hears someone speak them or if she reads it, and she can speak them without having difficulty.

_______________________________________________________________________________________


History:

Being the last member of the Briller family, Estrella was viewed as dissimilar the moment she was born. Unlike everyone else in the household, most of her heredities and persona came from her great grandmother, which the doctors have confirmed was the reason that there were different traces of DNA within the helix – the genetic material of a barn owl. The Briller relatives were aware that Othalla had gotten an contagion during her middle ages, but no one knew it was capable of passing on to the family until Estrella was born, and this had affected her life in the long run.

As a child, Estrella had to adapt to some of the abilities she was born with even if she wasn’t fully aware yet that she had them. She would tell her sister Demitra about things that she heard at school – things that people, let alone surrounding children, wouldn’t be able to hear normally, and was considered very personal to other students. When her parents heard about this, they only told her to try and ignore whatever seemed atypical, but eventually Estrella had learned something else.

Her eye sight had gradually gotten weaker as she spent a lot of time outside during the day – whether if she was playing with her friends, reading books in the central park library, or playing her ocarina on a tree. She had to get medical attention when a citizen had spotted her screaming on the ground that her eyes were hurting. Eventually, with the aid of her mother, she had gotten proper treatment, but had to miss school and wear eye bandages for a week’s worth of time. It was then discovered that Estrella was extremely sensitive to sunlight, and it was her mother’s verdict to let her take night classes and run activities on a nocturnal schedule.

Word about the monastery chief’s daughter getting harmed by sunlight and having to only go out during the night had spread around the city, and it had started some very unusual rumors about the Briller family – the worst ones coming from psychiatrists and anthropologists, claiming that there was the birth of a “demon child” in the household. It was hard enough for Estrella’s parents to defend against the accusations, having to explain that it was the genetic system that put her in the condition, but it was especially hard for Estrella to have to explain her state to her peers – and sometimes had to act out in self defense since there were times where she was attacked by students who saw her as a threat – even some who were originally her friend.

After dealing with this incident for nearly a year, the rumors had began to calm down, but not soon enough before they had spread to the Execution center of Sonria – that was ran by Magus Ora. Not only was Ora extremely prejudice, he was Estrella’s own uncle and her mother’s older brother, but he always sought out to eliminate any threat in Sonria, and anything /anyone that gets in his way of doing this. After he had learned that the rumored ‘demon child’ happened to be his niece, he had confronted her mother first about the issue for a brief discussion about possible plans; was she planning on sending Estrella away, were they going to move away from Sonria, would she let anyone take Estrella away from the family, all of those questions and several others were given a ‘no’ in response. Ora kept the discussion in mind when he had then confronted Estrella himself when the rest of the family was in another town to conduct a meeting with the officials. He would ask her questions like if she believed the rumors herself or if she felt like she had to capability to disprove what society was saying about her. Before their meet, she didn’t have much to say about her uncle Ora, but Estrella knew that he was in charge of the Execution center, and didn’t enjoy answering the questions she was given during the interrogation, and honestly felt a little threatened by his company.

Sonria is known to take into high appreciation the classes and roles of the elite residents, and often threw celebrations and/or rituals when a person’s role (usually if they worked for the government or if they were highly valued for their talents and abilities) has progressed to a higher level. On Estrella’s 17th birthday, she was offered a place in the orchestra to perform as the ritual for her father’s advancement in role took place. It would be held in the Sonria Monastery, which was the largest monastery in the world, its floor area reaching 3 million square feet and standing at 1,674 feet tall; another reason for its massive size was that it was attached to the main library of Sonria, which had sources of all types of novels, encyclopedias, religion, tradition, and other worldly topics.

After the ritual advancement ceremony was over, the after-party was held in the main hall of the monastery, but Estrella decided to skip the gathering to go to the higher levels of the library for solitude and to look for a source of family trees so that she could see where she was and what her next role would be in the Briller family. When she had found her family’s tree, she barely had enough time to look through it because Ora had suddenly appeared in the room and attacked her with a venomous fog. At this point, Estrella could hear that the area was being attacked. She could make out the sounds of metal clashing together, magic being used, and the outcries of massive beasts in fury, all while the strong smell of something burning had reached the area; she wanted to leave and help out whoever was in peril, but she was trapped in a translucent barrier that kept her from leaving the room, and breathing in the toxic miasma had steadily weakened her. Ora had then left the room, completely sure that Estrella would be dead within seconds of breathing too much of his fog, but Estrella only reached the point of blacking out – unaware that Valerius had came in and teleported him and her out before she could have died. Not long after they had escaped, the monastery as well as the library it was connected to was engulfed in flames, and was eventually burned down. The central park had been battered and demolished by malevolent uses of magic and weaponry, and nearly 1/3 of Sonria’s inhabitants had been killed from the incident.

Estrella woke up from her unconscious state a day after the event, and found herself lying in the underground guest room that the Brillers would only use during an emergency. She had recalled what happened at the monastery, and immediately knew why she was in the room. What she didn’t know was what happened to the rest of her family. Her question was eventually answered by a note that was placed near where she woke up. She had discovered that it was written by her father, Valerius Briller, and was shocked at what it read:

My most treasured daughter. If you are reading this, then you survived the monastery incident, which I am eternally grateful for. The attack within the monastery and the park had become too gruesome, and I'm glad you weren't there to witness them. Unfortunately, in case you haven't wondered just yet, it was your uncle Ora that led the attack, and I am grieved to say that he has taken your mother and brother's life during the raid. As for Demitra, Ora has taken her into custody somewhere, and I am starting the search for the both of them now. If he threw aside the care of the rest of his family yet saves only one, he must be up to something. But I won't rest until I find them, and it may be a while before I return to you. When I do come back, I suspect you will be away from here - and that's a good thing. After I settle the score with Ora, I will then look for you, wherever you may be at the time of my return, to see how much strength you have gained. I left something in this room especially for you to use, and I'm positive that it'll be helpful to you in the future. As of now, you will have to take care of yourself, but I will return. That is a promise. - Your Father
​


She realized that Valerius wasn't lying when he said that everyone was gone. The entire house was empty, and she could barely hear anything going on within the surroundings. As she sat there and read the note, there were more than likely dead bodies inside and around the monastery that needed to be disposed of. Looking around the room, Estrella had discovered something that Valerius had left her so that she wouldn't be powerless. Hanging inside an unused wardrobe was a silver longbow, the same one that she had watched her father use when he was training with ranged weapons. He had explained to her how to use it once when she was still in her younger ages and told her it was called the Sibylline Slayer, because no one knew of its origin - not even he did - but it acted as a killer in combat, proving that ranged weapons should never be underestimated. Seeing that her father had passed it onto her for use had meant a lot.

Just turning 17 years old at the time the burn down occurred, Estrella was already an independent girl, so she didn't think that taking care of herself would be too much of a challenge, but she wouldn't leave Sonria just yet. Ora had probably thought that she was dead, and chances of him taking her sister Demitra with him outside of the city were pretty high, so he would probably notice anything unusual happening in the outskirts of Sonria. Despite what had happened on her birthday, she had treated every night like she would have normally. She still continued to go to her night classes, she continued advancing on learning different languages, and had began illustrating more often so she could sell some of her work to the new owner of Lilian's gallery for a good amount of money that she would need. It wasn't easy to be able to do all of this with an optimistic mood, seeing how she was still upset over the loss and splitting of her family members, the thought of being alone was often discomforting to her. But she continually told herself that tears don't bring back the dead or bring back who is away.

Estrella continued to live her life throughout the years, all the while still contemplating when to leave Sonria and where she would go next. Going from place to place with some time spent staying around in-between moving had sounded like an interesting idea. She knew that when she finally would leave that she would return for some brief visits now and then, knowing that she could never leave her hometown permanently - even with the danger of Magus Ora possibly discovering that she was still alive. The chief of the once standing monastery had gone AWOL to the citizens of Sonria, and some believed that they were doomed without someone to lead it; at the time, Estrella was too young to run as the next chief in line, so she wouldn't be able to help in that case, but she would always check back as to see how things would run from now on in the city. Not only that, but there was no monastery or library to run being leader of, and it would more than likely take many decades - possibly centuries - to built the massive building up again.

Despite the past rumors of her possibly being a supernatural fiend, people have given more respect to Estrella since the tragedy that struck central park - seeing as there wasn't anyone to look after her. But Estrella was aware that she was gradually becoming a young woman, and that the time would have come sooner or later for her to rely on herself. In the end, she had finally set foot away from Sonria, off to explore wherever her mind set her to go, all while in the hopes of finding her father along the way.

After a year and a half had passed, Estrella made her first visit back to Sonria to see how things appeared in condition. To her relief, despite that the monastery was nowhere near being a quarter of the way built, the city itself looked tranquil. Though she was aware that the survivors of the central park attack years ago were more than likely still scarred from the tragedy, and people that toured Sonria or had recently moved in the area heard about what happened.

When she went through the Briller mansion, she discovered several letters left in her bedroom, all the papers actually being invitations from the headmaster of Eureka Academy. During her years absent of her home town, she had often heard events and news about the academy in places she has often visited, including the recent battle between them and Diaga Academy, and has even read several reviews about the school – and was surprised to get an admission from them.

She learned that the majority of the books, information, and education resources in the main library of Eureka had been imported from the Sonria library that was connected to the monastery, and the letters had clearly stated that the school had heard about the tragedy that occurred several years ago as well as the passing and/or disappearance of the majority of her family. Also acknowledging that she was the daughter of the former chief of the world’s largest monastery, they took notice of her traditional setup as a fighter and a magic user, and was offered a spot in the Disciplinary Committee. After putting some thought into it, she responded back saying that she accepted the chair. Seeing as how she's been to almost every other popular landmark on the planet, she thought it would be a good idea to stay awhile at Eureka and possibly see people that could relate to her in terms of history. Since she does her activities on a nocturnal schedule, she is confident that she'll do excellent in night missions and classes, and more than likely patrol the school during the late night to eliminate any kind of threat at hand.

Wow, what a long History section to that bio, I do suppose the character does have a special connection to the First Semester of the Eureka Academy, though, so it is something of an exception. :P

Hm, did I have to write a History section specific for the RP in it's original, first semester opening, or did I just use the general History section for the character I have in it's approved bio? Hm...
 
Ok I'll give you my three character names and I'll get the bios up tomorrow after work!


Veerle Shinja - DisCom
Saul Ueto - Blue Sect
Daiyu Hsiao - Black Sect

If possible. I shall get bios done as soon as I get time tomorrow. =3
 
I only know the name of one of the characters I will be using, I'm thinking I'll be creating two of the three characters completely from scratch.

And as mentioned before, I'm finally going to be creating a 100% human character, after creating several others already, and started RPing over a year ago. :giggle:

Need a more interesting new Ferfnir character though, either Crimson Wolf's age (20) or 19, probably one of those two.

When I get the time (sorry for putting it off, I am definitely excited about this, just busy in various RP lands here at FFF. xP), I will do the Crimson Wolf bio first, since that is to be the only one of mine to be recognized in this RP, then I'll have my hands full more with full bios from scratch to make, which for starters I may just post here, then worry about making it more complete to post and try get them as approved bios at a later date. :P
 
I am still sticking around.

If you want me to, I'll post up the bio, a bit edited. Actually, I have to, as quite a bit of Orion has changed.

Just not today. Drop dead tired. So... G'night, and I'll be working in the morning for this stuff.
 
So just breached page 3 of my opening post and i'm not even on Eureka island yet...

Is it weird to write posts for rpg's that haven't even started yet?
 
I'm usually known for making long bios. :wacky:

@FF .Not really. If I'm expected to be the first poster in an RP or if the RP is mostly Open, I sometimes get a head start on my posts too. :ryan: I don't do that too often though, but when I do it's easy to make any necessary edits if needed. I only do that kind of thing with my bios though . :wacky:

Alright, since I'm up and awake...

Name: Orion Smith
Age: 16
Title: Traitor
Class: Ninja/Monk
Appearance:
1191100398_blue-boy.jpg

Personality: Last semester, Orion had been taken to Diaga, where his personality had undergone a drastic change. He is now far more focused, disciplined, serious. He rarely does things for fun, and he rarely ever shows emotions. All he is concerned with is completing one goal after another. He still, however, does care for others, and will go out of his way to help others if they need it. His personality does not suffer from the whispers of his nickname, Traitor.
Weapons: Throwing knives secreted all across his body, two katana, his body itself.
Abilities:
Throw: Using this ability, Orion can throw shuriken, swords, sticks, hammers, chairs, whatever is handy with accuracy and power. There are limits, however: He cannot throw anything that is more then three times his weight, and he cannot throw anything more then two times farther then twenty meters.
Chi strike: Orion, using the discipline that he has learned and his access to his chi, is unable to unleash powerful blow with his bare-hands, strong enough to shatter boulders. There is a cost, however, of such powerful techniques: it drains an eighth of Orion's maximum stamina. He is currently training to lessen the drain.
Focus: A state of perception which, when Orion uses it, allows him to feel everything within a ten meter radius of his position. It is based upon the concept of chi, and how it exists through everything. Orion can sense chi, when he drowns out all of his other senses aside from touch. Of course, there lies the downside: he cannot sense anything outside of the ten meter radius, and he also cannot see, hear, or smell in the normal senses of the word. He relies solely on his ability to sense chi. Bright side is, when he's using it, it's hard to sneak up behind him.
History: Orion generally doesn't let his history before coming to school be known. In fact, his history has been erased from the student file through unknown reasons. However, after getting to school, Orion proved his fighting prowess almost immediately with his twin daggers and mimicry. Those who fought him in an area well stocked with movable items found that it wasn't a good idea to back off and fight him, and those up close found that physical techniques and swordplay don't amount to much in a knife fight when your opponent has two knives.
Only once had the disciplinary committee attempted to interfere with his actions. That ended up with three of them on the floor unconscious, the rest injured. After that, he was generally left alone. Once reaching black sect, and beyond that, he was offered a position on the Student Council, which he accepted. After doing so, he began to disappear frequently, though the only explanation offered was for seeking out potential recruits. His frequent departures and his habit of disappearing in shadows earned him the nickname "Shadowy Hermit", the Shadow part becoming a common nickname and the Hermit being tacked on his student council title.

However, that was before the events of last semester. During last semester, Orion had become a general pain in the ass for everyone around him. He did, however, prove that he was worthy of being Student Council then, at least in terms of fighting ability, when he was sent out with Stella to investigate a ship. In the end, Orion had taken a bomb and blown up the ship, allowing Stella and the other two council members, Eliane and Escaflowne, to escape. Orion had lived using a lead tub that was nearby.

After the explosion, Orion, still dressed in a Diaga uniform for undercover work, was picked up by another Diaga boat searching for survivors. Realizing that he would be killed if who he was became known, Orion let go of his past at Eureka and attended Diaga for the short time before the invasion. During his time there, Orion rose quickly through the ranks, his natural aptitude for physical combat showing itself by mastering many of the combat styles taught at the academy. During his time there, Orion, due to lack of use, had lost his Mimic skills. However, in return, he gained all of the martial skills he has now, as well the ability to touch and use his chi, making him a Monk. He still retained all of his Ninja skills.

During the invasion, Orion, underneath the name The General, had poisoned Eliane and Escaflowne and dragged them behind enemy lines to a safe house. There, he had lured Stella to there, and then he left them to join the battle on their own to flank Diaga, as he did himself. Then Eureka went into the sky, and the Headmaster had disappeared along with Diaga forces, using a powerful spell.

Now, Orion merely lives through school life, not wanting to take his position as Student Council back. He his viewed with mistrust by all of Eureka, yet he ignores it and continues to train and hone his skills.

The history got longer then I thought it would be... but not by much.
 
After tomorrow I'll be gone you guys for a week for my school's spring break. Luckily by the time I'm done I'll have the information and mission threads completely finished. Hopefully the info thread will answer all your question. I'll also update this thread. People who've rpd here before may want to check to see any new things they've missed.....such as extra ID info and all that jazz (including teachers). Anyways I'll get to answering questions/catching up with other RPs/updating this rp for the rest of the day. On a side note I just took a tiring college midterm and are about to take another in 30 mins so have mercy on me with the questions please. xD

Can't wait to see what kind of human character Crimson could create :hmmm: Maybe one with animal like instincts :P
 
I am quite proud of my character now. HE's a lot more detailed... and now he has a nickname that makes a lot of sense.

The Traitor... I wonder how that will play out in the course of the RP....
 
Well after I get my first bio up, predictable as it is, then I'll do that character bio, of which I have yet to even settle on the character's name yet, so it is a mystery to everyone. :P

But I believe he will be perfectly human, just magically inclined, because I haven't given magic enough attention in any of my character bios so far, so the second bio I post up here will be something of a bio of firsts for me, being at least my first human character created, and first one that focuses on magic use to do battle.

I hope to at least get a start on my first character bio in here today, and since the base of it is already there, maybe even finish it all, since it really is a little overdue, being just the first of three to come. :hmmm:
