So, we may post our templates?
Here goes my first battle on this forum. Better make it a good one, no? If you know me from anywhere else, you may know my first BA character ever, Celia. Not my best, but I control her best. ^_^ Sorry brainy_pigeon, but I'm giving it my all! Don't worry, I'm not all that good... I mean, on other forums I'm on, I'm never known for anything except Character Fictions... Kinda lame, no?
Name: Celia
Age: 18
Race: Demon
Sex: Female
Hair: Long, straight, and black
Eyes: Red
Weight: 150 lb.
Height: 6 feet 1 inch
Weapon: Black staff infused with magical powers of the underworld..... Her staff can do things to aid her in battle. It controls her dark energy and makes sure that she doesn't exhaust herself of all emotions. The staff is her only form of attacking and defending in a sense.
A small knife she obtained while traveling. She keeps it hidden most of the time, but does use it if she must. This comes in handy in many situations.
Armor: none
Strengths: She is always aware of her surroundings and has a powerful sense of deduction. She is skilled at dark magic and can manipulate it easily.
She’s found that her intelligence can greatly help her in many situations. Also, now that she is in an alliance, she’s found that friends can be powerful allies, despite her previous thoughts on the subject.
She can easily sense opponents and has no trouble discerning if they are a threat.
Weakness: Despite her fearful appearance she quite very annoyed of people who are happy, joyous, or basically normal. The reason being that she has always been cursed with being alone and never been able to be happy. She has nothing to protect her in battle. Luckily she can use dark energy as a shield if the need arises.
Her companion Zorlo has recently become a weakness for her. Whenever he gets beat up or attempts something and fails, then her normally serious demeanor is shattered and almost makes her cheery.
Light magic can deeply harm her since she focuses on darkness and has enveloped herself within it all her life.
Skills/Magic: She is powerful at dark magic yet knows next to nothing about white magic. She can control dark energy into force. She uses her staff to control her magic. The dark energy takes the form of a large bat that swoops down upon her enemy. In order to unleash her dark magic she must feel a strong emotion such as hatred or at times longing. She knows the following attacks:
Dark Force: A dark energy that she forms with her staff that can inflict much damage on humans especially. She forms it out of hatred mainly. This often takes the form of a regular bat. The problem is that once she runs out of emotions or is emotionally exhausted she tends to lose control over this move.
Dark Cloud:It's a move that unlike dark force doesn't damage enemies, but paralyzes them with fear. It also requires for her to use her staff to manipulate darkness. She forms a large cloud of darkness that engulfs her opponent so that they cannot see. The problem is that the clouds are easily blown away and they require a strong sense of corruption, but she is trying to hone her skills in perfecting the move. It’s become easier for her to feel corruption and therefore this move is more of an option.
Dark Shadow: It is when Celia creates a massive amount of sadness into a powerful attack that confuses enemies into thinking that they are as lonely and miserable as her. t doesn't work very well with happy and/or cheerful people.
Dark Shield:When she is attacked she normally has no form of defense so she uses her staff to create a dark barrier around herself. The barrier is weak against a rapid repeating attack and light magic. Celia requires a sense of protection to activate this move.
Terror Blast: When she is fearful of something, or she senses fear within her opponent, she uses that fear to create a purple arrow that flies through the air to the source of her own fear or the fear she senses. Rather like dark force, but it strikes the ground before her opponent creating a blast at their feet, making them unable to move for a couple minutes due to the fear that grips them. Hence the name. The blast radius can be quite large, so she must use this move at a distance.
Deceptions of Darkness: This move allows her to absorb the darkness around her. Then she redirects the darkness toward her enemies. The darkness then makes the target see hallucinations for a little while. This doesn’t effect what else they see, but it does make them see things that aren’t there. The thing that appears depends on the person it is being used on. Generally, it would be something the person treasures or despises so as to distract them. This requires a feeling of deception as the name implies.
Personality: She considers herself to be unlucky and has many issues with herself. She is quite serious, never smiles, unless it’s to taunt her opponent, and hardly frowns for that matter. She merely stares with a look that makes her seem distraught and confused. She is trying to find her way in life. She isn't happy with herself or her world. During fights she is calm and focuses on her goal. She will go through anything to get there too. She shows no emotion and no mercy. Celia tends to sense when an enemy approaches yet when the enemy reaches her she is often unsure of what to do. She can control her emotions well. If she couldn't then many of her attacks wouldn't work.
She has considered killing herself several times, yet has always felt that she's even too weak to kill herself. She knows that death might not be her only choice so she never actually kills herself. Celia would only consider death seriously when her goal has become impossible.
She treats every human the same: with distain. She treats fellow demons the same as she treats any race other than humans: calmly, collected, and serious.
She has no religion and is in fact hates toward all religions. She’s an atheist proud and true. In her mind, God is nothing but something hopeful people created out of the figment of their imaginations. She thinks nature gods are possible, but highly unlikely. Since the demons that lived in her city were definitely not religious, she’s been this way her whole life.
She may kill others, but she doesn't do it for fun. She always kills for a purpose. If she doesn't need to kill someone she lets them be and moves on. She finds that many people aren't even worth her time. She also knows when someone is way out of her league though. She knows to only fight the good fights and leave the rest for when she is stronger.
My character isn't easy going. She is always on edge and never trusts anyone. To her, she keeps her friends distant and her enemies close enough to kill. The only person she ever trusted was her brother whom she's lost all contact with.
She dislikes humans and wishes peace for herself and her family. Unfortunately, she finds that it's easier said than done. She also dislikes light. It is the only thing that can appose her dark magic and she doesn't enjoy light in general at all.
She wass fond of a small baby bat she found once while traveling. She took care of it and let it go. Occasionally she sees it one her travels and it seems like the one thing she believes she did right.
Appearance:
Celia is gorgeous demon girl. Her hair is long, straight, and dark. Her eyes are deep and red. It seems like they could tell a thousand stories. When looked into they seem to have suffered a lifetime in the short years that Celia has been alive. Her left arm is bandaged with soft, yet sturdy cloth. Underneath it is a wound that she prefers to keep hidden, not to the world but to herself. She wears a purple suit that covers as much as any one piece swimsuit, but unlike a swimsuit, it is loose and comfortable. She wears a hood on her head that seems very much like a rag, but serves its purpose. She mainly uses it to so as people will be unaware of the fact she is a demon and to shroud herself further into darkness. She has neat purples shoes that weren’t made for fighting. They don’t look nearly as worn as they should. They are comfy and she’s very glad she has them. On her long legs, she wears leg stockings that are ripped in several places. She doesn’t care much for what she looks like, but she has been considered cute by many.
History:Celia was born in a time where many demons were unsure of what to do. Humans disliked them and treated them horribly which is the probably what started her hatred for humans. She was born in a large city which consisted of both humans and demons. They lived peacefully for a while under demon rule, but Celia never realized that humans secretly hated demons.
Celia grew up with her aunt because her mother had gone to fight humans that were rebelling against demon rulers. Her father had disappeared when she was two and she didn't know anything about him. Celia had an older brother that she had lost all contact with soon after he was old enough to leave their aunts house. Celia had one friend that was dear and close to her. Yet when she was 16 when they were traveling along the river near her aunt's house and her friend slipped into the river and was swept away. That has always been a sore spot for her since they never found her friends body.
Her childhood was a calm one. Other than the comfort from her friend she lived in a world full of unhappiness. Her aunt was a sick person that couldn't help Celia whenever she needed help. Her aunt was always in bed. They lived in a normal house, but to Celia, it seemed like the house was so large it would swallow her up and she would never be heard from again. Her child hood was lonely and something that Celia doesn't care about. She knows that her childhood shaped her, but she leaves her past behind her as she moves forward.
Her familiar has been a bat. She's always lived with bats and when she learned magic she decided to focus all that energy into her favorite creature. She feels close to them and thinks that they understand how she feels: Dark, lonely, and feared. She even took care of a baby bat when she was younger. She’d found it in the recesses of her aunt’s creepy house.
She is traveling away from home to get away from her sadness and find someone who can understand her other than a bat. She is looking also for the one human that she doesn't feel absolute hatred for.
Her goal is to finally be able to find someone she can trust and someone that she can believe in. She doesn't want to be lonely any more and she wants to fit in. Celia just wants to belong and to finally stop feeling lonely.
In order to achieve that goal Celia has found herself put up to a trying task. She has been put in an alliance. One that has humans in it. With them she has fought countless enemies and made some almost friends. Zorlo, a fellow member, has attempted to make her open up. She is trying to deny all of his attempts, but still cannot escape the fact that some humans are not as vile as she first considered. She has gone on some adventures with people making her realize that despite being human, some people can really put up a good fight. Pathetic, but good none the less.
In this alliance, she has faced some difficulties. On her quest to find the Amulet of Aizi, she and her companion had awoken a dormant demon and allowed him to take a human form with the aid of Zorlo’s dark side. She’s also begun many adventures with others on quests to battle and to find wonders. Celia found that sometimes allies were best not killed, but rather backed-up. She’s prepared to give her all for her goal and if going on countless quest and facing perils with the alliance is part of it, then so be it.
