I'm just now realizing that I'm at an info deficit in regards to Soul Eater. Guess that's what happens when you only catch a few episodes as a dumb kid and don't really pay attention to what's happening...
Also @Hitman is everyone in the same class? Or are DW and M paired into the same class regardless of age and past schooling? I was wondering how much realism we'd be adding into the school setting.
EDIT: We're all in the EAT class I'm dumb. But my school setting question hasn't changed.
I am very late, but yes, LoL! I don't play myself, I tried it a few times. Just thought it looked neat. :P
Anyways, here's my sheet, finally! As asked, she's got the spoopy blood, and I hope nothing sticks out as overly powerful. And just to reassure all other players, if you see anything you find too-much, lemme know. :) I just wanted the A E S T H E T I C(tm)
Rea King
Name Rea King
Nickname/Alias -
Age 16
Gender Female ♀
Race Human
Appearance Rea is a rather slim girl of average height, standing at 5'5". Despite her thin stature, her midsection and arms show some light definition due to her lean physique. She possesses a tan complexion, lavender eyes, and a rebellious blonde mane, which she has given up trying to maintain beyond basic parting.
Generally considered attractive by the boys in her grade, Rea has a reputation for being unapprochable due to her perpetually tired and lightly-annoyed resting expression, which clash with her otherwise dainty features. There is a small bar code tattoo underneath her right eye, alongside her cheekbones, which she has received at an early point in her life, which she is highly self-conscious about.
Rea prefers casual chique and comfortable clothes, often sporting sweaters, and long skirts, though she has a habit of lounging about in her sleep wear all day when left to her devices.
Personality Rea is generally a fairly level-headed and mature young woman. However, she has a notorious issue with indulging her laziness, often oversleeping, putting off work until the last possible moment, and sometimes missing deadlines or dates entirely. Rea is almost cripplingly-dependent on caffeine to get into the swing of things, and becomes increasingly cranky if she is deprived of it for extended periods of time.
Perhaps fueled by her lingering lethargy, Rea is unwaveringly prone to get unreasonably comfortable in places she probably shouldn't be. She is a drag to get out of bed, will cling to any bed or couch she can find, and tends to lower her guard or even nap off wherever there is a soft seat to be found. She is also quite the homemaker, in a sense, as she loves to tidy up places and make them particularly cozy and lovely. Dragging Rea away from a carefully-prepared hot cup and a good book is like playing with fire, as she will explode into a comical hissyfit when kept from enjoying her downtime.
Though Rea has a reputation among her peers for being confrontational and loudmouthed, self-restraint is prominently on her mind, as she is afraid of strengthening negative prejuidice she may evoke due to her background and abilities. Though she is, in fact, no pushover, Rea has a tendency to become quiet and sometimes even bashful when she is infatuated on someone - because this behavior is quite easy to pick out, it is a great source of embarrassment for Rea.
Backstory Rea was abducted as one of many children in a crime spree that swept across England 16 years ago. Though the identity behind the perpetrator remains a mystery to this very day, exhaustive investigations have concluded that at least one Witch was involved, though it is believed that the incidents were not related to any one entity within the Witch society, such as the Order. Though Rea's memories are flakey, she has recollected vivid memories of other children, all seemingly of prepubescent age. Another detail that has burned itself into her mind was the fact that in spite of their young age, every child present exhibited unusually developed demon weapon transformations. Few of the missing children have been found within the abandoned facility, with Rea being one of just seven.
Numerous examinations conducted after Rea's rescue indicated that her bloodstream had clearly been altered, showing heavy traces of the nefarious Black Blood. Furthermore, it was concluded that Rea, much like the other abducted children, had been originally born a Demon Weapon. Initially chalking the other voice up to psychological damage, Rea had become host to a second entity, called Giles, whom she had become a symbiotic Meister to. Because none of the exhibited behavior or shared information matched any of the known missing reports, it was concluded that Rea's Black Blood treatment had transformed select personality traits of herself and other victims, as well as her own Demon Weapon abilities, into a seperate entity's soul within her.
Returning to mundane society at the gentle age of 10, Rea was troubled fitting in with other kids her age. As such, she has learned from a young age on to be her own best friend, to make the best out of her time and situation, and how to deal with the unfairly heightened expectations of others. Though frightened by the second presence inside her body, Rea grew to co-exist with him, ultimately accepting Giles, who, to her surprise, held no grudge against her, and instead accepted his fate as her weapon. Originally adopting an impossibly-perfect demeanor, Rea grew to reject all of it, instead living at her own pace.
It wasn't until a renowned Meister agreed to foster her, that the idea of a future at the DWMA developed. Being afforded a normal life, free of judgement or prying, for the first time, Rea took well to his tutelage and ultimately began attending DWMA.
Partner Name Giles Tabitha
Meister Abilities Rea may conceal her own Wavelength with the help of Giles, who, at worst, distorts her own wavelength. Though neither of the two have a clue on how to capitalize of this, their teacher admonished them to never forget this ability, as it may one day be absolutely necessary to employ it.
Like all Meisters, Rea has a rudimentary Wavelength Control.
Miscellaneous Abilities/Skills ● In spite of her penchant for lazing around, Rea is physically fit. ● She blindly trusts her partner, allowing her to space out to an extent, if situations become too intense. ● An underdeveloped form of blood hardening, enabled by the Black Blood.
Soul Resonance An engineered Bond, Rea's and Giles' Soul Resonance consists of Rea briefly relenting a large degree of control, equalizing the pair's input on the technique. In this state, the exchange of power between the pair enables the Ringblade to spin incredibly fast, which does not only increase the weapon's cutting power, but even enables primitive mobility.
Extra ...
Partner Name Rea King
Weapon Form Ringblade
Weapon Form Description A large, hollowed sawblade The teeth of the blade are coarser than most others. It is also quite sleek, visually, possessing dangerously sharp blades on either side of the circle. If it weren't for the Black Blood, this Demon Weapon would likely inflict injury upon its wielder.
Miscellaneous Abilities/Skills Giles is, to an extent, Rea's courage personified. As such, he tends to motivate or push her onwards, and is of great emotional importance to Rea. He's excellent at pep talks.
Extra The name Giles Tabitha references Giles Corey, a victim of the Salem witch trials, and Tabitha Babbitt, who is credited with inventing the circular saw used in mills.
Here she is! She is done! Still need a partner though.
I definitely think you have a solid foundation here; however, I feel some quintessential details are lacking that make it feel a bit incomplete.
The personality is a bit underdeveloped for my liking. It feels like almost too shallow of a view into Jackie, not really showing that much about her personality beyond surface appearances. If you could expand on that a bit that would be great.
I think the backstory could use a little elaboration. As we see in the news and such, celebrity children, especially to rock-star singer,s often have a lot of what could be called "psychological trauma" in many ways, lol. I feel like that's improperly developed, instead just being "Jackie likes music."
I do think the scene with the monster is underdeveloped as well. There's not a clear explanation as to how a monster came to Death City undetected and decided to attack spontaneously, and how a Meister just happened to be there to save the day. Elaboration there would be nice as well.
Overall, it's a great start and a likeable character, and I think if it were fleshed out a little more, it would be a great addition to the crew. :)
Also @Hitman is everyone in the same class? Or are DW and M paired into the same class regardless of age and past schooling?I was wondering how much realism we'd be adding into the school setting.
I'm going to need a bit of clarification on that question, if you could.
That Discord Server y'all wanted is up! It is the pinnacle of rudimentary as of now, but I'll spruce it up at a later date.
I'd like to set a tentative start date for this weekend, maybe earlier if everybody finishes their forms! That being said, do not feel pressured to rush! Quality over quantity after all.
Appearance Fairly tall for his age and ethnicity Ji-Ho stands at an even 5’10”, but with a slim, lean build he weighs only 138lbs. His dark hair looks somewhat messy, but it’s a deliberate kind of messy; he actually spends a fair amount of time each morning trying to get his hair to looks just the way he likes. His skin is lightly tanned and he has a smattering of freckles on his cheeks and the bridge of his nose.
Ji-Ho’s wardrobe varies, but he usually wears loose jeans and comfortable trainers and his shirts are usually long sleeved and colourful. He always wears the same necklace every day, a simple cross-like design on a beaded string that was given to him by his grandfather.
Personality Confidence is the key trait that shines through when dealing with Ji-Ho. He is a very self-assured individual, very certain of himself, and it shows in how he carries himself and how he interacts with others; he finds it easy to deal with new people, rarely being flustered or showing nervousness and possessing an easy grace that makes him somewhat charismatic. At the same time he can come across as cocky to some and he does definitely cross the line into being too confident in himself at times. He has great confidence in his abilities as a fighter for example and doesn’t want to partner with anyone who he feels would hold him back.
Ji-Ho is also somewhat vain; he cares about his looks a lot and likes to spend time making sure his appearance meets his own high standards. He can also be a little shallow, judging people by their appearance and by his first impression of them; however, it’s not their physical appearance that his judges, but rather the amount of effort they appear to have put into how they look. To Ji-Ho the amount of care one puts into their appearance is a good indicator for a lot of things. It is hard to make him change his mind from his first impression of someone.
Likes - Winning - Ice Cream - Sunny days and hot weather
Dislikes - Losing - Bitter food - Rainy days
Fears Being Extinguished; it might sound strange, but Ji-Ho doesn’t actually know what would happen if his fire was put out while in his weapon form. He fears what being extinguished might do to him and shies away from anything that might do so.
Backstory Although Ji-Ho comes from a fairly long lineage of Demon Weapons, he is the first person in his family to attend DWMA. Originally from South Korea his parents moved to America not long after they were married and settled down in Northern California, his mother giving birth to Ji-Ho a few years later; in was in this environment that Ji-Ho was raised, the only child of an immigrant family from Korea. He has never been to his parents’ home country, though they always made sure he knew and understood the culture they came from, and it remains one of his life goals to visit South Korea at some point.
When Ji-Ho first displayed the ability to turn into a Demon Weapon his parents explained everything to him; about Weapons and Meisters and Kishin and the people who fought them, about Lord Shinigami and Shibusen, also known as the Demon-Weapon Meister Academy or DWMA. They explained how even though their family had the potential to become weapons they had never joined Shibusen or partnered with a Meister because their Weapon forms were often impractical and not suited for battle; as a Demon Lighter Ji-Ho was not any different, but even so he was enamoured with the idea of fighting monsters and being a hero as any young boy would be. He wanted to join Shibusen and help fight the Kishin.
He began to train from that day forward, convincing his parents to enrol him in martial arts lessons and letting him train to fight. In all likelihood they only allowed him to do so because they thought he would never be accepted with his Weapon form being what it was, something which backfired when Ji-Ho was accepted to the school anyway. Ji-Ho himself was determined to get accepted, regardless of what Weapon form he had; if no one would want to partner with a Lighter then he would just fight by himself, he would become strong enough by himself and make do without a Meister.
Partner Name Jackie Jett
Weapon Form Demon Lighter
Weapon Form Description An ornately decorated lighter with a skull motif; the front and back are covered in small skulls of varying sizes and colours which, taken as a whole, form a larger image of a white skull on a black background.
Miscellaneous Abilities/Skills - Tae Kwon Do and Kick Boxing - Isn’t a half bad cook, though he can only cook certain things - Used to play football/soccer when he was younger. He’s still pretty good at it
