Well tonight I'm finishing off my characters as well as getting some stuff done for class tomorrow, so hopefully I can get it up after class tomorrow or if I'm lucky before class in the morning. I'd prefer the latter.
EDIT; here are my characters... sorry for wall of text.
Name : Mary Phillips
Nickname/Alias : “Faith”
Age : 28
DOB : 2nd December
Gender : Female
Sexuality : Heterosexual
Other Details : She has her guild mark on the back of her right shoulder. She is usually always found in her armour, so the guilds mark is also located above her right breastplate. She has a golden sigil drawn onto her forehead which radiates with a holy magic.
Personality : Most people in Fairy Tail will say that they love their allies unconditionally. Mary takes this to the extreme, completely depending on the love and adoration of her friends to give her strength. She constantly expresses her affection for her guild mate in the form of uncomfortable hugs, regardless of her wearing armour or not, and volunteering as the guilds bartender and waitress. Her love makes her one of the bravest and strong willed person you will ever meet.
In combat she acts as the crutch for her friends, her magic being perfect for supporting her allies. She’s not the violent type but she is more than capable of cheering on her friends and assisting them through battle.
Arsenal : She carries around a series of powerful medicines and salves latched onto her belt, in case her allies need a quick remedy to ease the pain for a while. She wields a white wand with ancient seals inscribed along them. The wand is called ‘Lightbringer’ and it helps her channel her magic more precisely. She also wears light armour.
Magic Type : Holder and Caster
Mage Rank : A Class
Magic :
Light Magic - Mary uses Light Magic as a Holder Magic, only able to channel it through her wand; ‘Lightbringer’.
Faith Magic - a specialty magic that takes the power of Mary’s love and bonds and converts it into a magnificent source of magic power for her to use. Faith Magic consists mostly of powerful healing spells and buffs, and is considered to be a stronger form of healing magic than Sky Dragon Magic. However, the magic is very much based on the emotions of the user. It relies on the power of bonds and love Mary has in order to work properly, so as such it’s healing properties can only be used on people who Mary is close with.
Light MagicLight Blast - Performed by drawing a triangle in the air with Lightbringer.
Light Shield - Performed by drawing a circle in the air with Lightbringer.
Rain of Light - Performed by drawing a star with Lightbringer.
Searing Shackles - Performed by drawing a cross shape with Lightbringer. Mary flings chains of bright light that aim to latch themselves onto the first target they encounter. These chains burn at the touch and if contact is made the chains will attach themselves to the nearest surface and keep the target restrained. Enough physical force will shatter the chains.
Faith MagicTest of Faith (1) - The first variation of this spell, which is cast upon Mary herself. Test of Faith challenges the love Mary feels for her friends, determining whether or her faith is strong enough to activate the spell. If she is successful, Test of Faith will buff Mary with a holy aura that increases her speed, endurance and strength at the cost of her magic power and vitality each second it remains active.
Test of Faith (2) - The second variation of this spell, cast upon any one person Mary can think of. Test of Faith is a spell that works over a gigantic range, covering the entire of Magnolia. Anyone Mary thinks of will be brought under the influence of this spell, and Mary‘s love and affection for that person will be challenged. If the bond between her and that person is strong enough, they will be teleported to Mary‘s location. If their bond is strong enough, they will be brought directly to her side. If it isn‘t as strong, they will be brought somewhere near Mary‘s general area and given a mental map of Mary‘s location and how to get there. If Mary attempts to cast this on someone she just met, or a stranger, then no effect will take place.
Test of Faith (3) - The final variation of this spell, cast upon any one person near Mary. This spell challenges the bond between Mary and this one person, restoring Magic Power equal to how strong the relationship between her and her target is. A strong, unbreakable bond will refill a person to nearly their full amount of Magic Power, where as someone she has just met or barely knows will only receive a small amount of Magic Power from Mary. The way this works is that it donates a small amount of Mary‘s power to that person, and then that power is multiplied based on the bond between the two people. Additionally, Mary is able to cast this variation on her enemies. Anyone considered an enemy of Mary will lose a moderate of Magic Power and receive an irritating shock through their body. Mary can cast this on herself, but it only restores a moderate amount.
Meditate - Focussing on one target, Mary uses the bonds of love and friendship she has with this person to restore their vitality and heal them over a period of time. Each second she meditates, she loses magic power each second. Any movement or magic used while meditating will break the link. She can also use this to heal herself, but it is only half effective. She can currently heal 3 people at once, but prefers to only focus on 1 as healing more than that drains her magic power too quickly.
Seal of the Two Lovers - A spell created by Mary in order to gradually store a massive amount of Magic Power over time; compressing it into the golden sigil on her forehead. When Mary suffers fatal damage, the seal erupts and locks her body into stasis for a period of time, where the magic begins to slowly heal her wounds. Once she is fully healed, the spell ends and she returns back to normal. The magic power gathered is formed through the love and faith in her friends and family. She currently has enough power built up for it to activate once. The more magic power gathered, the more she will heal; but this also means she‘ll be in stasis for longer.
Hand of God - The ultimate test of faith. In dire situations, Mary may focus her love and power onto all her friends, regardless of distance, and make the ultimate sacrifice. Brilliant rays of dazzling light shower from her, hunting down her allies and striking them as a heavenly choir erupts through the air. This spell immediately restores all her allies vitality and magic power by a considerable amount; enough to turn the tides of battle. However in exchange, Mary herself will assume all the injuries of her allies. Thankfully if the damage she receives is fatal, which in most cases it will be, Seal of the Two Lovers will ensure that Mary lives, but this means she‘ll only be able to cast this once safely.
Biography : Mary Phillips was born to a prestigious family where her father was commander of the Rune Knights of Fiore. She never knew poverty and lived in blissful ignorance with her older brothers. Her mother was a seamstress and Mary loved it when she made her pretty dresses to wear around their enormous mansion. All the servants and staff adored her, but her brothers often teased her about it. They trained frequently with the arms master, something she wasn’t allowed to do, so she couldn’t fight back against their constant teasing and bullying. They were doing it for the sake of fun and games, never actually intending to hurt their baby sister; but in her eyes it was a statement of how weak she was in comparison to them. She stopped wearing fluffy dresses, preferring to wear tights suitable for manoeuvring, and insisted that she be allowed to train with her brothers.
While her mother was hesitant at first, her father was delighted to see such a fiery spirit building up in her. She began to learn how to fight alongside her brothers and fairly soon she was able to best them in spars. As much as it pained them to get beaten by their sister, there was no question that having her fight with them was a delight. At the young age of 16, Mary and her two older brothers enlisted into the Rune Knights in order to follow their fathers footsteps. It was rare to see women amongst the Rune Knights, but no one dared say anything against Mary in fear of her two large, protective brothers beating their face in. In their eyes, Mary was more than worthy of joining the ranks. Training with the other newbie’s was a breeze for Mary and her brothers. They’d been doing this their whole lives and it wasn’t long before she and her brothers were graduating early. Alongside them at graduation was another boy about 3 years older than Mary; his name was Edward and he was apparently just as skilled as they were at their age.
Working in the same regimen as Edward worked out pleasantly well for Mary, as the two of them developed feelings for each other. They were training their magic vigorously, and were very determined to become strong enough to protect Fiore; however it wasn’t uncommon for them to skip training and wander off somewhere private for them to share intimacy. Her brothers didn’t like the idea of anyone dating her, but she wasn’t going to let them stop Edward from seeing her. She told them that she would kick their asses if they even tried to hurt him, which seemed to be more than enough to keep them in line. Eventually Edward grew on them and they were already accepting him as part of the family. When Mary was 24, she had already become a very potent Wizard; able to use both Light Magic and Faith Magic, but that wasn’t her greatest achievement by far. No, in fact if you were to ask her what she was most proud of, her answer would be the day she proposed to Edward. Naturally, he said yes and the two of them were engaged to be married within a few months.
Fate however, is a cruel thing. When sent on a scouting mission, Mary and Edward’s troop were scouting a town before they were ambushed by members of a Dark Guild. Before they could make the first move, Edward used his Spatial Magic to transport Mary away from the battlefield. She ended up on the outskirts of a port town not too far from where her troop was. By the time she arrived there, the battle was already over and the Rune Knights had lost. There were only a handful of survivors, and Edward was not one of them. She knew this might happen, and she thought she would be prepared for it. They worked in a position where their lives were at risk at every moment. Yet that did very little to comfort her. After the funeral for the fallen troops, Mary resigned from the Rune Knights; deciding that staying with them was too painful. She wandered to the town of Magnolia, the town her mother grew up in, and joined Fairy Tail so she could earn money. What she didn’t expect was how close she had grown to all the wizards there, and it was with their love and support she was able to move on with her life and become who she was today.
Other : Mary has a large amount of hand to hand combat training, to say she is an expert is an understatement. She prefers to not fight, however.
She has stored all the magic power in her ‘Seal of the Two Lovers’ over a total of 10 years, enough to keep her in stasis for over a month.
Mary is a terrible cook, but that doesn’t stop her from preparing a bunch of inedible dishes for her beloved friends. So far no one has had the heart to tell her she sucks at cooking.
Name : Riley Kaname
Nickname/Alias : Juggernaut, previous his last name was O’Mara
Age : 18
DOB : 7th January
Gender : Male
Sexuality : Heterosexual
Other Details : His guild mark is located on his left shoulder. He doesn’t have a scar on his right eye, despite the image used for him.
Personality : Rough and always looking for a fight, Riley is known for his thick head which he constantly barges right into the middle of battle with. His disregard for his own safety as he tears through enemies has given him the nickname ‘Juggernaut’, which those who don’t know him find hilarious considering his scrawny appearance. Those that do him know full well that he is deserving of that title. Despite his build, Riley is as tough as they come. He can be a little dense, refusing to think things out before diving head first into a situation. His ego and competitiveness make him quite an annoying person to be around, always challenging someone to fight or causing a ruckus around the Guild Hall.
He is a determined fighter who doesn’t know the meaning of the word ‘quit’, and is always willing to stand up over and over again; believing that he’d rather die than lose a fight. When he does end up losing, the shame he feels puts him in a sombre mood for a long time; but he always bounces back, determined to best his rivals. People don’t really consider him a friend, but it’s hard to not be drawn to his confidence.
Arsenal : He wields a sword that he calls ‘Yukiko’, for reasons he doesn’t share with others.
Magic Type : Holder
Mage Rank : High C Class
Magic : Sword Magic (
Mugetsu-Ryu)
Yasha’s Empty FlashPiercing Wind - Riley makes a stabbing motion with his sword, sending a sharp, piercing shockwave at high speeds in the direction of the blade.
Cross Cut - Riley swipes the air to form a cross, sending a cross cutting motion flying in the direction he attacks capable of cutting through steel.
Alpha Slash - Riley slashes Yukiko up from the ground in an upwards arc motion, sending a visible white light charging towards his target. This cutting attack moves significantly slower than his other abilities, but packs a more powerful punch.
Riposte - Riley can use his Mugetsu-ryu to perform multiple actions with his sword without actually moving his blade. Riposte is a skill he taught himself that turns a defence into an unexpected offence. After successfully blocking an attack with Yukiko, he also delivers a series of minor slashes to the person who attacked him in the blink of an eye. His sword glows before this occurs for a split second, giving a quick enough opponent time to avoid his counter attack.
Flash Waltz - Considered by many to be what makes Riley such a strong opponent. Riley and Yukiko strike at such insane speeds that they disappear from view entirely, jumping from enemy to enemy and dealing several wild magical slashes in a matter of moments. Flash Waltz only affects a moderate area around Riley, meaning people who are quick enough can avoid it completely. The attacks dealt by this are wild and unpredictable, meaning enemies can luck out and avoid several of the attacks out of pure coincidence.
Biography : Riley’s village was taken under siege by a Dark Guild when he was only a little boy, and even though his parents pleaded for them to let him go, this only amused the wizards who quickly murdered both his parents. They didn’t harm Riley, they told him that they had plans for him and all the other children. It appears they were preparing some type of dark ritual that involved taking the lives of the children in exchange for ‘enlightenment’. There were over fifty children captured, taken deep into the woods. The wizards were preparing the ritual when one of them spoke out, a woman with flowing, silver hair and eyes as foggy as a stormy sky. Riley could tell that the woman was blind, so when she ordered the wizards to stop the ritual and release the children he thought she was insane. So did the dark wizards, apparently. Calling her a traitor, they dived the woman. Out of nowhere, there was a slight movement of her hand to the hilt of the blade before deep slashes appeared across the chests of half the soldiers that attacked her. The slaughter continued for a good ten minutes, and even though she was heavily outnumbered she dispatched all the Dark Wizards without receiving so much as a scratch.
She released the children and apologised for what they were about to go through. Before she could walk away, young Riley pleaded to her to take him on as her student. Seeing how strong she was inspired him to become just like that, so that next time he could protect those closest to him. The woman told him her name was Yukiko, and that she hadn’t taught a student in over 20 years. She had no intention of breaking that record. Yet despite this, Riley continued to pester her and follow her until she finally gave in and told him that if he could remove an apple from her head, she would accept him as her student. Riley thought the task would be a breeze, but when he failed to even touch Yukiko for more than half an hour, he finally gave in. She told him that admitting defeat was more brave than taking on one thousand soldiers, and that there was no shame in losing; because losing gives you the strength and determination to grow. He lived by those words, and taking that in he apologised for bothering her and began to set off. Not before Yukiko could laugh, telling him that if he kept up that attitude he might just be the best student she’d ever taught.
Training with Yukiko was arguably more scarier than being sacrificed by some Dark Wizards. At least they had actually planned on killing him, Yukiko seemed to push him to his death bed everyday, testing his limits just enough to make him wish he were dead but not enough to leave serious injuries. Riley didn’t dare ask her when she planned on teaching him how to use a sword, fearing her wrath for speaking out of line and questioning her teaching methods. He endured three years of her harsh tests, and eventually he became so used to it that he barely flinched against her strikes; taking each leash and cut and bruise without moving a muscle. He no longer feared the pain, and that was when Yukiko gave him his first training sword.
“Remember that you will die eventually, but don’t let that frighten you. Stand tall and look death right in the face, and eventually it will kneel before you”. He never made much sense of what she was saying, but it felt philosophical enough to matter. Sword training was so much harder than he’d ever expected. He thought that once he’d learnt to block out pain and keep fighting, training with a sword would be much easier. However his lack of balance and uneasiness with a sword made it nearly impossible for him to block a strike from Yukiko without being sent flying. Balance was everything. Balance the mind and spirit, and eventually the body would follow. That was Yukiko’s advice, and Riley was starting to get sick of all this spiritual crap she kept going on about. It took him several years of hard, intense training. Yukiko and the blade were the only people in his life, but that was all about to change as his training came to an end.
Riley remembered crying out of joy the first time he landed a hit on Yukiko. It was a small graze against her cheek, barely enough for her to feel. Yet despite all that, she knelt down before him and held up her sword to him.
“Today you discard your old name, Riley O’Mara. You are no longer my student. From this moment on you are Riley Kaname, proud partner of Yukiko Kaname. Our blades locked together for all of eternity”. Those words gave Riley hope. A hope for a wonderful future travelling the world with Yukiko. They were going to become the strongest sword mages in the entire world, perhaps even the strongest Mages in the world. That was what he wished for. So when Yukiko came up to him one day and told him that she was dying, he started laughing. The person who had been with him for most of his life wasn’t going to die. Yukiko was the strongest Mage in the world, she couldn’t die. She was invincible. She embraced him, telling him that she had been sick for many years now and it was becoming too much for her body to handle. She asked him to do the impossible - End her life right there and then.
Riley doesn’t talk about it at all, but Yukiko had told him that after the life she’d had, she refused to die as a frail, sick, old woman. She strayed off the path of righteousness once she learnt of her sickness, joining the cult of Dark Wizards in hopes that the ‘enlightenment’ they sought would cure her ailment. She said she was selfish and a fool, but seeing Riley and all those other kids reminded her why she fought so hard. She told him that Riley had saved her life, and it was only fitting that he would be the one to end it. He wanted to cry, but Riley felt the power in her words and knew that it had to be done. He told her that he loved her. She was the closest thing to a mother he ever got to have after the Dark Wizards guild his parents, and she smiled at him and told him once more; “I’ll be with you forever, our blades are locked together for all of eternity”. He delivered the fatal blow through her chest, watching as Yukiko’s body fell to the ground with a smile etched on her face forever. He kept the blade she gave him, the blade that she had used to save his life so many years ago. He named it Yukiko.
He had heard of a wizards guild nearby in the town of Magnolia, and he travelled there for 2 days before he found himself before Pollux Vermillion. When the Guildmaster asked who he was, he proudly proclaimed to the guild;
“I am Riley Kaname, student of Yukiko Kaname; the greatest swordswoman who ever lived. And even death kneels before me”.
Other : Riley has a crush on several of the other girls in the Guild, but despite his outgoing personality he finds himself too shy to confront any of them.
