[b]Name: [/b]It comes first, but if you're like me, this gets filled in last.
[b]Nickname: [/b](Optional) A casual way to address your character.
[b]Alias: [/b](Optional) If you're cool enough to have a codename or title, put that here.
[b]Gender: [/b]For the purposes of this character sheet, this "Gender" section should include everything but your character's sexual preference, which is listed further below.
[b]Age: [/b]
[b]Birthday: [/b](Optional)
[b]Blood Type: [/b](Optional)
[b]Species: [/b]Unless you're making a villain character, you'll be a Human. I may also allow a Nephilim or Beastkin into the party later on if you have a neat concept (and a reason why they don't eat humans).
[b]Job Class: [/b]Check the lore below for some example jobs. (I'm open to new job additions, too!)
[b]Hometown: [/b]This will most likely be Agartha, unless you want to make up a new place, describe it, and explain how you came to live in Agartha at some point in your back story. If you really want to be a hero and do all that, you might want to run the basic concept by me first, before you spend hours on it.
[b]Theme: [/b](Optional) Music that would play when your character is having a big moment, or just something for people to listen to while they read about them here.

[h2]Body Information[/h2]
[hider][img]Put your face claim image URL here. We expect lots of anime, but something closer to the "photorealistic" side of the spectrum will be accepted too.[/img][/hider]

[b]Face: [/b](Optional) Use this to describe your character's face if you don't use a face claim.
[b]Body: [/b](Optional) Use this if you have a face claim that's not a full-body shot.
[b]Attire: [/b](Optional) Same as above, or if you just feel like pointing out the details.
[b]Ethnicity: [/b]Agartha is located in Switzerland, and houses a mixed population of the descendants of evacuees from all over Europe, so almost anything is believable as far as genealogy goes. Agartha more or less has an artificial skybox that runs on hand-waving magic, so you can ignore any real world effects of multiple generations of cave life that may exist, and give your character any skin color you want.

[b]Family: [/b](Optional) If your character has family members to consider, you can list them here.
[b]Religion: [/b]This RP deals with some religious themes, so pretty much everyone is going to have [i]some[/i] kind of belief. The real question being asked here—that is not answered anywhere in the lore below—is whether or not (given your character's life experiences and all the supernatural stuff that's happened in general) they believe in the existence of the Creator or not, whether he still cares about humanity, whether or not he's still coming back to save them (why or why not), and so on.

[h2]Combat Information[/h2]
If you haven't made a wish yet, skip this section; your character sheet is done for now!
[h3]Armaments[/h3]
[b]Weapons: [/b]You should stick to having just one main weapon and maybe a sidearm. A Medium's weapons will be forged from the fossils of fallen angels (yes, really) so they can have magical properties like being able to be summoned into battle and later dismissed, able to duplicate themselves, transform, or whatever. The cooler stuff they can do should be described later below, in your Skills section.
[b]Armor: [/b]If your character wears armor, clothing or accessories with magical properties, type here.
[b]Other: [/b]Anything else your character carries with them, specifically for combat purposes. Some example items include the elixir—don't call it a potion—which restores your HP to max the first time you use one in a battle, restores it by half the second time, and so on. Other items include magic stones: crystallized magic power that is created when magical energy comes in contact with the sludge left behind by perishing monsters. You'll acquire these as you slay monsters, and you can share them with your friends to give them more options for elemental attacks. They also have monetary value.

[h3]Parameters[/h3]
These are your stats, which will range from zero to ten stars. Six stars in any given stat is considered the "human limit" for Mediums, and to boost it even higher, you'll need to rely on your invoked Jinn. Your Jinn will give you five stars worth of buffs, to assign as you see fit. Your initial stats should not exceed 25 stars, 5 of which will be the boost from your starting Jinn, and should go on the right side of the + signs.

Here are 25 stars for you to cut and paste however you like. Refer to PvP mechanics for what these do.
Strength: ★★★☆☆☆+★☆☆☆
If your Strength is plus or minus one from your opponent, you can parry their attacks.
If it's higher than your opponent's Defense, you can break their guard with a normal attack.

Resonance: ★★★☆☆☆+★☆☆☆
Every two stars reduces the RP magic consumes by 1 (you still need the full RP cost available for casting).
Each pair of stars also increases the efficacy of any healing magic you cast by 1 star's worth.

Defense: ★★★★☆☆+★☆☆☆
Each star of Defense should represent two normal attacks or one Skill's worth of damage you can take.
Your Defense also determines how strong your Guard is against physical attacks, including Skills.

Resilience: ★★★☆☆☆+★☆☆☆
Resilience should represent how many magical attacks you can take. Calamities take 2 stars.
Resilience will also decrease the efficacy of healing magic on yourself. A 1-star heal would heal 25% HP in the above example.

Reaction: ★★★★☆☆+★☆☆☆
Characters with higher Reaction can begin a battle with a Free Action (using spells, items, special moves).
After a Parry or elemental spell clash, only the character with higher Reaction can perform a follow-up attack.
Reaction also determines turn order, and is called when rolling for counterattacks and when fleeing AoE attacks.

Perception: ★★★☆☆☆+☆☆☆☆
Each star of Perception increases your dodge rate. Refer to the Glossary of Combat Abilities for details.
Dual Attacks, Crew Attacks, Rush Skills and Finest Arts will depreciate Perception with each consecutive dodge.

[b]Wish: [/b]"Where's your motivation?"
[b]Curse: [/b]Your wish's accompanying curse.
[b]Aura Color: [/b]When your character is overflowing with Resonant Power, what color is it?
[b]Fighting Style: [/b]What's your character's bread and butter?

[h3]Attack Skills[/h3]
Attack skills increase your attacking Strength by 2 stars, making them great for guard breaking.
They can also have additional special effects (think Pokémon), but don't make them too obnoxious.
All of these skills should be Basic skills. You can also list as many Rush skills as you want to name.
If your weapon has some kind of special gimmick to it, here's the place for it to shine.
You must have a minimum of 2 Basic skills, with a maximum of 8. Your Basic skills and spells should total 10.

[b]Skill 1: [/b]

[b]Skill 2: [/b]

[b]Skill 3: [/b]

[b]Skill 4: [/b]

[b]Skill 5: [/b]

[b]Rush Skills: [/b](Optional) If you want to give names to your 2-5 attack Rush strings, list them here.

[b]Finest Arts: [/b]You can mix up your Finest Arts combo any way you like. Just give it a name!

[h3]Resonant Power[/h3]
The type of Jinn you invoke should primarily determine what type of spells you receive.
You can have a mix of two or three elements if they all fit thematically with your character's Wish.
Each of your Basic spells can be used at Tiers 1-3, so you don't need multiple slots for one type.
Don't worry about trying to have one of everything for element clashing. That's what friends are for.
You must have a minimum of 2 Basic spells, with a maximum of 8. Your Basic skills and spells should total 10.

[b]Spell 1: [/b]

[b]Spell 2: [/b]

[b]Spell 3: [/b]

[b]Spell 4: [/b]

[b]Last Word: [/b]This is your Calamity tier spell, or Summon, or Transformation (only pick one).

[h3]Personal Skills[/h3]
These skills are passive and always activate. Their effects should be kept simple and easy to apply.

[b]Passive Skill 1: [/b]

[b]Passive Skill 2: [/b]

[b]Passive Skill 3: [/b]

[b]Curse: [/b]A thematically appropriate stumbling block for your character on their journey.

[b]Unique Skill: [/b]Can be a Basic skill, spell, or passive skill. Paste it under the appropriate header.

Name: Candice Rose Zahler

Nickname: N/A

Alias: N/A

Gender: Female

Age: 22

Birthday: 23rd February

Blood Type: B+

Species: Human

Job Class: Pioneer

Hometown: Agartha




Ethnicity: Caucasian

Height: 5’ 8”

Weight: 137lbs


Usual: Candice’s usual personality is standoffish and blunt. She is something of a misanthrope, someone who doesn’t often enjoy the company of others, particularly if they are not a Medium and who partially sculpts her behaviour to discourage people from approaching her. To this end she tends to act arrogant about her power and position, especially around other Mediums, and pushes the idea that she is independent and better off being left alone. She is rebellious too, not responding well to authority of any kind and someone who often challenges conventions and the rules that be in little ways whenever she can.

In Battle: Aggressive; Candice always seeks to end fights, and her opponents, as soon as possible, fighting with a level of intensity that is almost frightening. Her fighting style tends to be destructive, both to her enemies and to the environment; this can be dangerous for any allies who might be fighting alongside her, for whom she has little regard.

Speech: In conversation, Candice tends to be blunt with her word choice and harsh in the way she shares her opinions. She filters her language just enough to avoid getting into too much trouble, avoiding saying things that shouldn’t be said or mouthing off to someone too important, but is otherwise unfettered in expressing whatever is on her mind at the time.

Habits: Between her behaviour and the way she speak Candice is prone towards getting into altercations with other Mediums, particularly if they do not share her perspectives on the world; these rarely end up being serious, often stopping at an argument or a spar rather than a real fight. She also has a habit of taking liberties that she only gets away with because she is a Medium and as such valued; her behaviour would certainly not be allowed were she not so important and she is more than aware of this.

Making Friends: Making friends is something that Candice actively avoid most of the time, but no woman is an island and sometimes finding something in common with someone is inevitable. It would have to be someone who agrees with her stances on things, someone who shares her slight disgust with the way in which society operates and the way it treats people like her. They would also have to be willing to take her as she is, as Candice would have little patience for anyone looking to chastise her behaviour or correct her attitude.

Likes: Books, food, fighting.

Dislikes: Everything else.

Hobbies: In her free time Candice will spend most of her time either reading or training; books offer her an escape, or at least a distraction, from everything else, while training and sparring is a good way for her to vent her excess energy or anger when she is feeling restless. While she wouldn’t consider it a hobby she also enjoys cooking, or at least prefers to handle her own cooking rather than allow someone else to prepare her meals; she is better at it than she gives herself credit for.


Childhood: Like with all Medium’s, Candice’s birth was celebrated. The announcement of another new Medium meant many things; Agartha would be allowed to grow again, more jobs would be created, another soldier to fight the demons was to be trained and her family would experience an uplifting to the high classes of society.

Her parents and her extended family were merchants, moderately wealthy and living comfortable lives before she was born. They still are, for the most part, but having a Medium as a daughter has certainly given them a level of prestige, wealth and fame that they didn’t previously have; their family had produced Medium’s in the past, though none of note, but it had been generations since the last. Candice’s birth was seen more as a return to form, a reclaiming of what was once theirs, than something new.

Initially Candice was happy with her life. Cared for and pampered and revered, as a child she was spoiled and treated like royalty; she had no reason to complain about her situation or to think that anything was wrong. It wasn’t until she grew older that she began to notice the problems; the differences between how she was treated compared to everyone else, the way that other children, even her own cousins and relatives, would be separated from her. She was apart from them, special, and as a child she couldn’t understand why. They said she was a Medium, a hero and a warrior; her family would try to explain by talking about the things she would do, the person she could become, and it confused her because it didn’t sound like her at all. They were describing a stranger. They weren’t talking about her at all.

That was when she first realised that nobody, even her own parents, saw her as a person. She was a Medium, a weapon, a doll. She was trapped in a gilded cage, treated like royalty and prepared for a future she wasn’t even aware of.

She began training not long after and was exposed to the public for the first time in her life. So many people, a population who knew her even less than her family did, who all wanted the same things of her; fight, kill, die, save them, impress them, be their hero, be their shield, be their martyr. It scared her. It angered her. It made her feel helpless and alone.

The expectations and obligations began to settle in then; a weight on her back that left her feeling trapped. It was worse once the training began and she actually showed talent; she wasn’t just a Medium she was going to be a good one, a strong one. The expectations grew; they wanted great things of her now, not just to fight but to win. She considered sabotaging herself somehow, making herself look worse or weak somehow; but when she thought about what would happen next, how they wouldn’t let her go now that they had seen her potential she gave up on that. She thought about running away, but that would just lead to her being hunted down as a deserter by other Mediums.

Her only option was the Wish that ever Medium got; that was her only chance to change things. When she stepped into the Void and met the Jinn, she made the only request she could think of.

Adulthood: Since completing her training and making her wish in the Void, Candice has spent as little time in Agartha as possible. She chose the job of Pioneer as soon as she could and ventured out into the wilds of the surface and frequently and for as long as she could. Her goal was simply to avoid her family, the people of Agartha and anything to do with the Brionac Program as she could; she doesn’t like the way that being back in the city makes her feel, like a weapon, like a tool. Candice isn’t sure what to do about her situation and cannot see anyway to escape it, so although she knows she is only playing into their hands by doing so she does her job as a Medium and fights the demons instead. As far away from home for as long as she possibly can.

The irony of this is that by choosing to be a Pioneer, by venturing out on her own, she is putting herself into a position to be noticed and make a name for herself. She is doing exactly what her family wishes of her.

Family: Candice comes from a fairly large family. Her mother and father, aunts, uncles and even her grandparents all work as merchants in Agartha. She has no siblings, but several cousins; there are many that are of a similar age to her, a few that are older and just as many that are younger than her. Some of those cousins were only born because of the expansion in population size that her birth and recognition as a Medium allowed. Candice has barely spoken to any of them; to be honest, she doesn’t even know all of their names.

Religion: Candice has not given much thought to whether or not the Creator truly exists; she is not sure one way or another, but leans slightly more towards believing that he does. Whether or not he exists though, Candice is sure that he is not coming back to save humanity; listening to the stories, the histories, about how humanity rejected his offers of help and even killed him the last time he appeared, it doesn’t seem like he will return. She wouldn’t, in his position.




Weapons: N/A

Armour: N/A

Other: 2 vials of elixir which she carries on her for emergencies. 6 magic stones gathered from fallen monsters, 2 water and 4 earth.


These are your stats, which will range from zero to ten stars. Six stars in any given stat is considered the "human limit" for Mediums, and to boost it even higher, you'll need to rely on your invoked Jinn. Each one will give you five stars worth of buffs, to assign as you see fit. Your initial stats should not exceed 25 stars, 5 of which will be the boost from your starting Jinn, and should go on the right side of the + signs.

Strength: ★★★★★★+★★☆☆
Resonance: ☆☆☆☆☆☆+☆☆☆☆
Defense: ★★☆☆☆☆+☆☆☆☆
Resilience: ★★★☆☆☆+☆☆☆☆
Reaction: ★★★★★☆+★☆☆☆
Perception: ★★★★☆☆+★★☆☆

Wish: “I want to be strong enough that no one else matters anymore.”
Curse: “You wish to stand alone? Then you will stand alone. If you accept the aid of another Medium’s power you will suffer it as well. It will wound you, so that you will always know that by accepting their help you have strayed from your path.”
Aura Colour: A deep red
Fighting Style: Kill the enemy before they can kill you. Candice’s fighting style is based around striking fast and hard, constantly being the aggressor in order to prevent the opponent from mounting an effective counter-offensive. Her wish had given her access to the elements of both earth and water and as such Candice has developed fighting techniques which take advantage of the qualities of both of these using martial arts as a basis; solid, powerful strikes using the strength of earth and quick flowing combinations using the fluidity of water.



Landslide: Summons either water or earth around Candice’s leg, depending on which stance she is in, before delivering a low sweeping attack to knock the opponents off of their feet with a heavy impact.
In Earth Stance only – By imbuing this skill with the Earth element Candice is able to strike an even heavier blow than normal. If this skill succeeds in dealing damage the target will be afflicted with the stunned condition.
In Water Stance only – The water gathered around Candice’s leg will succeed in dealing damage the opponent even if her attack is blocked, flowing around their guard to strike at the opponent regardless.

Roots of the Mountain: A powerful, guard breaking attack in which Candice imbues her body with the earth element, partially and temporarily petrifying part of her body to strike a heavy blow. Increases her strength by an additional 50% for the purposes of calculating damage against blocks but will inflict the same amount of damage, i.e. her strength, with the 2 star increase for using an attack skill, will be treated as 16 stars. Requires two actions on a turn to perform.
In Earth Stance only – Requires only one action to perform.

Wave Breaker: Candice imbues her body with the earth element in order to allow her to parry incoming spells with her own body as she would a physical attack using the strength stat; however, this can only be used to protect against spells that attack directly and will not save her from debuffs or spells with an area of effect. If this spell is used as an attack, it can likewise be parried by spells, as well as physical attacks; however if it is broken through, it is treated as a parry. (Candice does not take damage).
In Earth Stance only – Can only be performed in the Earth Stance. Candice immediately switches to the Water Stance upon using this technique.

Rising Tide: Candice creates a narrow spout of water and uses it to propel herself forward, dealing damage to any enemies in her path and pushing them back.
In Water Stance only – The spout become a wave which can hit enemies over a wider area, not dealing damage to enemies hit by just the wave but still pushing them back. If an enemy is pushed back by this skill while in the process of performing a melee attack, the attack is cancelled.

Confluence of Streams: A flurry of three attacks delivered in quick succession, each individually weaker than a single attack but requires multiple dodges to deal with. Each attack is treated as having a third of Candice’s strength for calculating damage against guard, rounded down; i.e. the first attack will have a strength of three, with each subsequent attack being treated as one higher as per normal. Damage after a guard break or against an unguarded opponent is quartered, i.e. each attack will do one fourth as much damage as a regular attack skill.
In Water Stance only – An additional attack is added to the flurry, making for four attacks total.

Flow Like Water: By completely giving control of her body over to the water within herself that she is able to manipulate, Candice automatically dodges the next attack used against her, if possible, as well as automatically counter attacks for the usual amount of damage, if within range to do so.
In Water Stance only – Can only be performed in the Water Stance. Candice immediately switches to Earth Stance upon using this technique.

Rush Skill – Raging Torrent: Like a stream finding a crack in stone, slowly but persistently applying pressure until it inevitably shatters, Candice delivers a series of quick, precise strikes delivered in succession using the swiftness and fluidity of water to overwhelm her opponent. Can only be performed in the Water Stance.

Rush Skill – Seismic Activity: Like a boulder breaking loose from a cliff, setting off an avalanche that sweeps aside everything in its path, Candice pummels the opponent with consecutive heavy blows with the implacable brunt force of a mountain in motion to crush her opponent. Can only be performed in the Earth Stance.

Finest Arts – Wave Against The Rocks: A combination of all of Candice’s fighting techniques used to destroy the opponent as efficiently and as brutally as possible. The assault always begins by splitting open their guard with Roots of the Mountain or knocking their feet out from under with Landslide before taking advantage of the opening with Confluence of Streams and ending with another Roots of the Mountain or Rising Tide.



Where the Land Meets the Sea: Upon using this ability Candice can choose to imbue herself with resonant power of the Earth or Water elements, concentrating it within her body to enter a ‘stance’; these stances grant her additional abilities and bring herself more in tune with that element. Using this spell at Tier 2 produces a surge of energy which will knock back enemies and allies below a certain weight within ten feet of Candice.

While in the Earth Stance Candice’s body is heavier and sturdier, allowing her to harden her body like stone before she strikes or before being struck; this enhances her toughness but lowers her speed as a result. Candice’s Defense and Strength rises by 1 star each, but her Reaction falls by 1 star while in this stance compared to her base stars.

While in the Water Stance Candice is able to manipulate the water element within her body, relaxing her muscles and letter the water carry her along with it to deliver lightning fast strikes and movements; this increases her reaction speed and ability to dodge at the cost of less power. Candice’s Reaction and Perception will rise by 1 star, but her Strength will fall by 1 star compared to her base stars.

One with the Earth: Manipulates the ground beneath a target’s feet in order to turn it to mud and control it to wrap around their lower body and drag them deeper into the mire; ensnared targets cannot move from their location, but can still act so long as long as their arms remain free, and can Struggle (using their Strength stat) to free themselves. At Tier 2 this ability can ensnare multiple targets at once and at Tier 3 the mud will shoot higher into the air like a geyser, before being manipulated to pursue that are not on the ground or otherwise out of reach.
In Earth Stance only – Inflicts petrification on those who are successfully ensnared.

Deep Water: Summons and manipulated water in the air surrounding the targets head, causing them to drown; drowning targets will be inflicted with the Sleep condition after a number of turns equal to their Resistance stat if they are unable to free themselves. Maintaining the effect requires continual concentration on Candice’s part and it will be automatically cancelled if she takes any damage. At Tier 2 this ability can affect multiple targets at once and at Tier 3 it can surround the entire targets body in water to prevent movement as well; the submerged targets are still able to use spells while in the water.
In Water Stance only – The target will be inflicted with the Sleep condition after a number of turns equal to half of their Resistance stat rounded up.

Nature’s Gift: A healing ability which draws on the cleansing power of water to heal injuries and remove debuff and status effects. Requires existing water in the area to work, though water summoned by Candice will suffice. At Tier 2 this spell can affect multiple targets and at Tier 3 it will also provide an additional passive heal of an additional star on the next turn.
In Earth Stance only – Spell takes two actions to successfully cast
In Water Stance only – Spell only take a single action to successfully cast

Last Word – Gaia (Transformation): Candice draws on the power of the earth, combining earth and water to become an avatar of the land itself; she surrounds herself in a shell of stone, fractured and split by veins of flowing water.

While in this form Candice is treated as being in both the Earth and Water Stances simultaneously, gaining all of the associated benefits of both; her Strength, Defense, Reaction and Perception all rise by 1 star, both passive abilities ‘Beloved by the Earth’ and ‘Chosen of Thetis’ are active and she is able to use all of her attack skills and spells to their full potential.



Nature’s Bounty (Unique Skill): Candice is able to subsist off of water alone for prolonged periods of time with no detrimental effects to her health.

Immovable: Resist Wind and Earth.

Beloved by the Earth: Passive ability only active while in the Earth Stance. Candice’s hardened body makes her studier and harder to hurt; while her effective health remains the same her Defence stat is treated as double its value for the purpose of calculating guard breaks. Additionally, Candice will heal by 5% each time she ends a round with her feet touching the ground.

Chosen of Thetis: Passive ability only active while in the Water Stance. With heightened reactions and flexibility, Candice is able to move her body more freely than most; Candice uses a D8 for rolls to counter attack instead of a D10. Additionally, Candice will heal by 5% each time she ends a round while in contact with a standing or flowing body of water.

Lone Warrior (Curse): Choosing the road of a lone warrior, any time Candice receives aid from another medium she will be punished for straying from her path. Candice can choose to ignore the effects of an allies support magic that is used on her without her consent, but should she willingly accept the help of another e.g. healing, a buff or a status affect, she will be inflicted with one of the following punishments;
Healing – Will receive a debilitating effect which will lower her Strength stat by a number of stars equal to it’s the Tier of the healing ability for a number of turns equal to its Tier.
Buff – For each buff that Candice receives her maximum HP will be reduced by 20% for the remainder of the battle, regardless of their effect or duration.
Status Heal – Will be inflicted with any random status infliction other than the one she was just healed of.

Name: Angela Degrasse
Gender: F
Age: 20
Species: Human
Job Class: Valkyrie (though a somewhat unconventional one at that)
Hometown: Agartha
Theme:






Usual: If Angela is anything, she is prideful. She is quite certain she is among the best of the best and that she is destined for greatness. Despite this arrogance she is something of a social butterfly, outgoing, assertive but also kind in her own twisted way. She might be a legend in the making while others are mere bit players in her story, but that is simply how things are. No need to be rude about it, or push people already beneath her down any further.

It should also be noted that this arrogance does not result in endless clashes with authority, such things can create a hindrance to gaining power and influence, but it certainly can cause friction, especially if she views the leader as undeserving of their position for whatever reason.

In Battle: Angela is something of a show off. Not enough to compromise her effectiveness (at least on a regular basis), but if she sees the opportunity to impress others she will leap at the opportunity. Otherwise she fights with a degree of righteous fervor, her self assurance in her greatness in herself extending to all of humanity, of which she is a champion.

Speech: Tends to be a bit flowery and longwinded, putting on the airs of nobility. Expect to hear the word darling a lot.

Habits: She cares alot about her appearance. A savior of humanity should look the part, as far as she is concerned, and so she puts effort into presentation and considers herself something of a fashion leader, as much as that is a thing in these dark times.

Making Friends: Friends are just connections waiting to be exploited, or that is what Angela has been taught. As a result she values competence, reliability, rank and strength highly, as these are things that make good allies. On a more personal level she appreciates good presentation, responds well to flattery but is also more likely to resonate with people who are confident and self assured rather than mere toadies who she sees as wishing to simply to ride her coat tails.

Sexuality: Bi as fuck

Likes: Herself, sugar, beautiful people, being adored, parties, crushing her foes, theatrics, passion, the smell you get after rain

Dislikes: Being perceived as weak, onions and fresh tomatoes, manual labor, being embarrassed, cowardice and those who shirk their duties .

Hobbies: The pressure she is/puts herself under leaves little time for solo hobbies, but as of late she has taken to painting in her spare time, when she isn't training, learning or socialising.

Issues: Angela does not handle repeated failure well, and is liable to rapidly become frustrated and then angry as she throws herself at whatever obstacle has stood in her way again and again till she masters it. In a similar vein, she also doesn't like being shown up by her peers.


Childhood:

Angela's extended family, or clan, have a long and prestigious history (at least in their opinion), a core part of which is that they have both birth an unusually large number of Mediums and that several of those rose to be great heros worthy of history, things they are both very proud of and have taken every advantage of. Children in the family are almost expected to become Mediums despite the still very low odds of this occurring. Those who do not are considered to have disappointed the family, and are expected to chase mortal power to make up for this fact or risk being disowned.

Such was the fate of Angela’s father, who had married for love and worked a common skill he was passionate about, till his daughter was born. Her family were brought back into the fold of the clan, somewhat against their wishes, and they proceeded to heap every effort into preparing their gift from god for greatness. Strings were pulled to move clan members into positions where they could exert influence over their latest medium, while her actual parents were gradually pushed to the side once more.

Growing up then, Angela was often at risk of being crushed by expectations, something the clan had learned to counter by swelling her with pride. Every failure was a sin, but in contrast every achievement proof of her greatness. Expected, yes, but praiseworthy nonetheless. She was given every advantage while also being pushed to never be complacent, to always seek to further her position, standing and power.

The clan would argue that their time honored traditions produce bold, confident and inspiring mediums. Others whisper behind their backs that they primarily breed arrogance.

Angela has grown up strong, proud and determined but also someone who craves adoration, praise and attention. She was a model student, putting everything into training while weaving a wide reaching web of social connections within and above her peer group.

When the time came she stepped into the void without fear, ready to start her legend.

Family: A history of nepotism and a dash of actual competence without which they would have been ousted has allowed the Degrasse clan to worm its way into government positions of relatively high importance. This has allowed them to keep in contact with the family's prodigal child inorder to pull strings for her and whisper tutarage and instructions into her ear.

The current matriarch of the family, Madam Esmarel Degrasse, is the cousin of Angela’s grandmother, and rules over her clan with a hand of iron and a hand of silk both, weaving a spiderwebbing tapestry of commitment and obligation while crushing any who step out of line.

Angela’s parents, victims of the clan’s wrath, were (and still are) both engineers, a position of vital importance to the maintenance of the city but one seen beneath the clan’s station. Angela does not see them much anymore, and they have grown distant to them as a result of embracing the clan’s teachings. Despite this distance, she has more respect for the ‘common people’ than her extended family do as a result of their interactions, even if it is in a ‘everyone has their place’ kind of way.

Religion: Angela has been thoroughly indoctrinated into her clan's belief that no miraculous rescue is coming from the heavens, because their help is already here. God has chosen them (and maybe some others) to be his instruments upon this earth, champions who will claw it back from demon-kind by tooth and nail. Why else would they have been blessed with so many mediums? Why else had they managed to acquire power and status within their community? Effort must be put in, of course, as it has been for generations to achieve all they have wrought because, in the end, God will only save those who will save themselves.




Weapons:

Short sword and shotgun: A pair of sidearms, one antiquated and one modern. Angela has a high degree of skill with both due to years of training, but only at a purely mortal level. She won't be toppling any giants with either, but sometimes you just need to pop a goblin’s brains out without worrying about burning yourself alive.

Angel Bone Corset: A rather unconventional design, the corset is a solid mass of angel bone tied around her waist, which is there primarily to boost her evasiveness. The bone will physically pull its wearer out of harm's way, allowing her to either dodge faster, or even avoid attacks she had not seen coming. It also keeps her waist nice and slim, and looks rather fetching to boot, which are both pluses in Angela’s book.

Fire Retardant Combat Armor Light but tough clothing who’s most important attribute is that it refuses to catch fire.

Anti-burn cream An elixir used explicitly to undo the possibilities of long term harm inflicted by Angela’s rather drastic healing method and is used out of combat to remove cauterization stacks.

Wish: "I want to live up to my family name- no, to live up to the legacy of my ancestors, who were strong and noble and true. I have the will and ambition to grasp greatness, to enact the will of god and humanity. All I need, dearest Sinclair, is your power, your strength and cunning, and together we will shine so brightly as we shape history!"
Curse: “Then it shall be so. I shall lend you my strength and together we will shine brightly, as you wish it to be so. But beware, my shining star, that you are human and not a star. We may shine together, but you cannot join with my light and not feel it’s burn. For as long as you call upon my strength, the heat that comes from light will our enemy and our friend. Fire will hurt you more than others, and your burns will not be healed so easily. In this world many shiny bright, some even more than you, and others will have a will of iron same as you. Are you willing to accept this price so that you may be tempered and shaped to illuminate the word. To blazingly shout that you are here and that nothing will stop you, not even the sun?”

“And if someone is dishonorable to your family or ancestors, I expect you to respond in a blaze of glory.”

Aura Color: Burning bright with flames as red as her hair.

Fighting Style: Angela has two fighting styles. Either she stands back and rains fiery destruction on her foes from afar in a classic mage style, generally supporting and supporting other mages or ranged fighters (Angela can if given time make even conventional weapons pack a heavy punch, making her surprisingly effective when paired with an entrenched squad of regular gun wielding humans) or she moves in close to dance among her foes, blasting them with short range gouts of fire while evading their own attacks with impossible grace.



Burning Sword: Quite simply, Angela ignites the length of her sword with her flames. If she deals damage, she inflicts a stack of Cauterized on her foe, which reduces the effectiveness of any healing they receive. (see Cauterize spell for details)

Dragon’s Breath Rounds: Special ammunition made from magnesium pellets and shards of fire element magic stones which causes her shotgun to shoot a tight blast of fire rather than just bullets. If it hits it sets the target on fire, inflicting the Burning! Status effect (see Ignition for details)

Rush Skills - give em both/three/four/five barrels an unrelenting bombardment of shotgun shells.

Finest Arts- Suffer/Burn inflicts either 5 stacks of Cauterize or Burning! Depending on if she stabs or shoots her foe.



Ignition (Fire) Angela’s bread and butter is fire and flames. T1 creates a short ranged flame thrower, t2 sets an area on fire (damaging anyone who starts their turn in or enters the fire field), and t3 sets every enemy on fire. Targets who are hit gain a Burning! Status effect, which causes 1/2 star of fire damage at the end of the enemy turn, but can be extinguished using a free action to roll on the ground to put the fire out. Burning! Statuses stack and also count as t1 curses no matter how they are applied.

Illumination (Light/Fire) Another straightforward set of magics, Angela uses it to fire heatrays at her target, either shooting at them from her location at tier 1, or bombarding down from the heavens at t2 and 3. These lightspeed attacks are difficult to avoid, causing targets to roll with disadvantage (roll twice, take the worse result) when attempting to dodge these attacks.

Cauterize (Fire) Heals the target by rather brutally burning their wounds shut. As a result of her methodology, targets are left with burn scars, resulting in each heal adding a stack of Cauterized. Each stack of Cauterized adds 2 to the power of the number of Cauterized stacks (2/4/8/16/32/etc) of effective resistance whenever the target receives healing, resulting in healing being (resonance/2 + 1) / (resistance + 2 ^ Cauterized stacks).

For example, this results in Angela healing herself for 100%/71%/55%/38%/23%/13%/7%/3% for each stack.

Cloak of Flames (fire) Angela covers a person in flames which form into the shape of a dress and cause them to trail fire as they move. Causes any melee attacker to take 1/2 a star of fire damage on a successful dodge, as they run head first into the fire trail as their target dances away from their strike.

Burn Bright (fire) Engulfs an ally in a flaming aura, adding a stack of Cauterize (see Cauterize spell), and then imbuing their weaponry with burning power. Successful physical attacks now deal an extra ¼ star of fire damage for every Cauterize stack. Casting on an ally who is already buffed this way instead adds two Cauterize stacks.

A New Dawn (light/sun(time)) A field effect that creates a miniature sun which hangs above a section of the battlefield. The bright lights cause anyone facing the sun to roll with disadvantage (roll twice, take the worse result) when dodging. Meanwhile, those fighting beneath it undergo a minimal time acceleration effect that can give them the split second advantage they need to avoid incoming fire, giving them advantage (roll twice, take the best result) for dodging attacks coming from outside the sun’s area of effect. Attacks performed from within the spell are unaffected, as both target and attacker are under the time acceleration effect.

Steal the Spotlight (light) Causes Angela to be lit up by a beam of eye-catching and dazzling light, generally accompanied by a taunt to her foe, which draws the attention of her enemies towards her. Can be as a Rescue in place of an attack (while still gaining attack rp), which will force the attacker to instead switch their focus to attack Angela instead, who will generally try and dodge the subsequent strike. Used on its own it will aggros foes struck by it to come and attack her instead of her allies, and will grant her an rp for each foe who is taunted this way (enemies already attacking her don't count.), up to a maximum of 3.

Unique Spell - That’s not how the story goes (time) Rolls back time within a magic field by two seconds, which is generally just enough to undo an attack. Of course, with time rewound, the attack will be coming once again, and so this forces/allows the person to confront the blow a second time. Functionally, this allows Angela to reroll a dodge, either a one failed by her or an ally, or a successful one by an enemy. The target could also decide not to dodge and instead retreat or guard instead if they don't like their new odds.

For the sake of perception reduction and rp, the prior dodge still counts as going off, so rp for successful hits or dodges from the first attempt are still earned, and the dodger’s perception also goes down by one, making the second dodge, and also all subsequent dodges, more difficult. A positive outcome cannot be rerolled to try and farm more rp.

Each attack can only be rerolled once. Can only be used supportively/offensively once a turn, but Angela can happily gambled away all her own Perception rerolling failed dodges against multiple incoming attacks.

Legacy (transformation) (fire/time) Angela calles on the memory of one of her famous ancestors, becoming surrounded by a titanic burning effigy of their armor and angel bone equipment.

She gains +2 Resonance, + 1 Perception (maxing out both) and +2 Defense and the Ancestral Might passive, who’s effects vary depending on the ancestor who she is channeling

Scalia Degrass aka The Queen of Winter: Angela becomes cloaked in a ballgown and wears a sapphire encrusted circlet upon her brow. Her fire now burns cold, changing all her fire attacks into ice ones (thought for the sake of her Iccarus passive they still count as fire attacks), and now all inflict a Frostburn status, which causes those inflicted with it to take ½ star of frost damage at the start of their turn until the transformation ends. Also changes all abilities that apply burning to apply Frostburn instead. Counts as a t1 curse.

Jonathan Degrass aka The Raven: Angela gains a doctor’s cloak and a beaked mask. Her cauterize spell now both ignores cauterisation stacks and does not apply new ones.

Guthy Degrass aka Galant Guthy: Angela becomes encased in a knight’s plate mail, and gains a giant two handed battle axe as a weapon. She can no longer cast magic or dodge due to the platemail inhibiting such actions, but as a trade can use her resonance in place of power and perception as reaction for the duration of the transformation.



Uncanny dodge: Angela’s angel bone corset will pull her out of the way of attacks, allowing her to dodge even attacks that she did not see coming, negating any advantages here foes may gain from stealth, ambush or flanking attacks.

Center of attention Angela gains an additional rp from dodging attacks from more than one enemy per turn. Each successful dodge against each additional enemy grands an additional rp, up to a maximum of 3.

Desolation Angela also gains 1 rp from field spells

Iccarus: Whenever Angela uses a fire spell, or starts her turn with a fire buff on her, she takes ¼ star worth of fire damage.

Childhood: The Lysanders are a prestigious family known for serendipitously producing skilled Mediums frequently throughout the generations, and Ink was no different. As family tradition dictated, Ink was trained from a young age to become a Paladin; their iconic brand of vanguards. It was an informal title passed down between mediums within the Lysander bloodline, harkening back to the Paladins of ancient history. The title itself is venerated, containing historical significance, and Lysander Paladins often became elected officials simply because of the public and political clout granted by the title. The fighting style of a Paladin was associated with light and blessing magic, and was typically flashy and garish, making them stand out among other Mediums, as if the specialized training regimen wasn't enough. In addition, Paladins are taught to follow a strict code of conduct, upholding justice and righteousness wherever possible.
Ink didn't exactly enjoy this style of upbringing. The expectations both internal and external were crushing. The code of conduct was a load of bullshit and he didn't even think Paladins were cool from a spectator's perspective. They were overdramatic and excessive and he'd rather just have literally any other form of magic than that holier-than-thou shit constantly touted by his tutors as the ultimate in "heroism". Ink didn't want to be a hero. He didn't want to dedicate his life to serving Agartha and its people; it seemed like a thankless job, and being a B-list (or even an A-list) celebrity just meant losing his privacy and being judged over every little thing he did. Still, he pretended to go along with it, because what else could he do? Run away from Agartha? He wouldn't be the first in his family to try, but even unimpeded, the records of what became of them paint a clear example of how that wouldn't work out for him. He was being indoctrinated of course; he was sure the accounts were exaggerated to scare him off trying, but living under demon rule was undeniably not ideal. Basically, his options were to become a social pariah, die, or become a Paladin.

Adulthood: In spite of failing to uphold the Paladin's code of conduct even if he tried, he eventually completed the training of the Brionac program, turned 16, and entered the void to invoke a Jinn. When he reemerged, he had mixed feelings. On one hand, he got a Jinn to say the word "bullshit". On the other, he was told he needed to go eat bullshit or die. Either way he was exhausted and needed rest. When he next woke, he was hungry, but otherwise didn't feel any different, but he couldn't help but feel that something was wrong during breakfast.
Before he could look for more food to satiate himself, he was rushed off to continue his Paladin training. He was finally to be trained in the use of magic, "the Paladin way". Unfortunately, he quickly found that he didn't have any magic to speak of. He was accused of lying about meeting a Jinn, of disrespecting the Paladin name, and thrown out, presumably to reenter the void and contract a (new) Jinn. He had been expecting something like this even before entering the Void. Instead he returned to Brionac Academy, gained a newfound understanding of his abilities, (the Jinn wasn't being literal, thank god) and used money stolen from his family to live comfortably in a new home, never to return to House Lysander. Unfortunately, it was unavoidable that he'd have to carry out his duty as a Medium. He started off as a Third Class Pioneer, but as his body count steadily grew, he was promoted to Second Class and eventually First Class. To that end, he didn't like the current arrangements. He felt like he was mainly just killing demons who were reliant on magic. His constant need to eat magic made it risky to travel too far from Agartha, (buying magic stones or commissioning special supplies from Valkyries all the time was costly) and it was difficult to handle demons he had a bad matchup against. After a while, he started to feel like he was just doing the job of a Sorcerer, so he casually decided he would apply to be one. After passing a written test and practically cheating in the practical exam, he was officially a first class Sorcerer despite being completely incapable of even basic magic. If he wasn't famous for being a black sheep of the Paladin family, he was certainly more notable now. The Jinn had truly cursed him to never live a normal life for the rest of his days. Well, in any case, being a Sorcerer meant managing Warlocks and Valkyries, so it was a convenient position from which to exploit his subordinates for magical sustenance, so he did the best he could to defend his position from his detractors, the most notable of which were the Lysander family.

Family: His father is getting on in years, but is the only living Paladin in the family, and seemingly the last of their bloodline, since Ink was an only son and has no intentions to continue the tradition. His mother died at a young age, and he never felt close to the step mother his father remarried. There are also a number of wannabe Paladins who his father took under his wing who helped in Ink's Paladin training. They are considered "part of the family", but do not have the Lysander name. Plans are probably being made to declare one of them the next Paladin, which would be the second time in history the title was given to someone outside of the Lysander bloodline, although the first time was because of an exceptional individual, rather than an effort to avoid the tradition being destroyed entirely.

Religion: Ink believes that if the Father exists or existed, which, to begin with, would be doubtful in his eyes, at least as he is described; then the Father has/had probably long since given up on humans, which he should have already done long before the last time he was killed. Short of divine intervention to the contrary, he thinks it's best to go about as if he does not exist. Hell, even with divine intervention, isn't the Father indifferent to, if not outright complicit in humanity's current predicament? Proof of his existence alone wouldn't be enough to dedicate his life to the Father. Murdering the Father in seemingly blind rage as he had been in the past would be uncalled for, but if the Father demands they start being friendly ("love one another, as I have loved you") with the demons trying to kill and enslave them, then maybe those demands aren't worth listening to.

Inkwell: A cursed Kris (wavy dagger) that disrupts magic, absorbs it, and coalesces the magic onto its tip. Every time Ink deals damage with it against an enemy who is either capable of magic or has magical properties, he gains 1 blood charge, which can be used for his skills. Blood charges do not carry over between battles. Has a special insulating handle to keep Ink from draining the blade of its potency, since it in itself is a magical item. The magic on its tip will apply random curses to those exposed to it, though it can be made to retain the magic for later use.

Gun: Gun. Closest thing to a mass-produced Medium weapon there is. It's made mostly from mundane materials and doesn't have noteworthy features, but it's effective enough.

Armor: Prefers dressing light for maneuverability's sake. Has all of his clothing magically enhanced specifically for the sake of enduring magical attacks, especially his pants and underwear. Running face-first into magical attacks does quite a number on his clothing, and he has already had to experience the consequences of failing to prepare for this during his Pioneer days.

Items: A small bag that can be summoned at will, mainly containing magic stones and cursed candy. Requires a free action to safely consume one in the middle of battle, similarly to elixirs. The bag also contains a few potions which Ink purchases from a witch living outside of Agartha. He has no idea what effect they would have on an ordinary person, but on him they have an identical effect as the candy, and they taste WAY better than elixirs. He doesn't usually drink them, but keeps them around in case someone pays too much attention to him, claiming they're elixirs. He tries to keep his dependence on magic a secret, claiming his curse is just the inability to use magic.

Wish: "I wish I could be free from all the bullshit in this world. The expectation to be a Paladin, the demon army, being fucked over by the whims of you Jinns, all of it. I just want the freedom to live a normal life."
Curse: "Your wish is too broad to grant completely, but I will grant you this: You will defy expectations and ignore many of the hardships you would not see in a 'normal life'. However, you will yearn for those hardships, that 'bullshit', and you must feast upon it, else you will be consumed, body and soul. You should know better than to ask a Jinn for freedom from their own curse."
Aura Color: Transparent, with fleeting streaks of black
Fighting Style: Fast and deceptive, he does the best he can to maximize his ability. His gun helps keep the pressure on any time distance is created, and most enemies are helpless to stop him from closing the distance, where he uses his cursed dagger to make them suffer.

Just a Taste: Ink consumes all blood charges on the Inkwell, literally, activating a curse on himself proportional to the amount of blood charges removed and triggering an enhanced version of "Delicious Desires", treating Ink as if he has +1 Resilience for every consumed blood charge. Cannot be used without blood charges. Requires a free action to be used without risk.

Ink Over: Stabs into the enemy with the Inkwell, disrupting their magical capability and subtly "silencing" them; If an enemy tries to cast a spell during the same turn or the turn after they are hit with Ink Over, the spell will fail unless it was a wind-up spell Safe Cast before being hit with Ink Over. Wind-up spells (including Calamity spells) that are started during Ink Over's effect but activated after it ends are unaffected unless they are hit with Ink Over again, wherein they will fail even if the spell was Safe Cast. Spells that fail due to Ink Over still use up the action used to attempt them and do not generate RP, but do not consume any either. Characters with a Resonance stat of 6 or more will be able to detect the silence and react accordingly before casting a failed spell. Characters with a Resonance stat of 5 or less will be unable to distinguish Ink Over from Ink's other attacks.

Dab of Ink: Briefly tenses up, reeling back with his free arm over his face and his weapon pointed behind him before taking off at the enemy faster than the eye can see. If Ink's strength with this skill would result in parrying or breaking through an attack, he instead dodges the attack. He does not gain RP from dodging in this manner, but enemies gain 0 RP from their attack, and Ink rolls to perform a separate counterattack. Otherwise, it is treated as a parry or break through respectively. If this skill activates successfully, Ink gains +3 Reaction until the end of his next turn. (Which applies to the counterattack roll)

Heavy Drawing: Ink stabs into the enemy with the Inkwell and twists the blade. Landing this attack on a target that is either capable of magic or has magical properties will generate an extra blood charge on the Inkwell. (For a total of +2)

Line Across: Ink rushes across the battlefield, closing the distance between him and a target of his choosing, attacking the target and potentially damaging multiple enemies in his way. Will parry attacks without interrupting Ink's attack(s) on other targets if Ink's strength is sufficient and the targets were in the middle of attacking. He must use the same weapon for all applicable attacks. Can attack up to a maximum of 3 targets, including the one at his destination.

Tender Embrace: Ink hugs an ally. He likes to think they're hugging back in spirit. Ends Ink's turn if used successfully, and counts as a rescue if they are being targeted by a spell, granting Ink +1 RP. While being hugged, any magic attack or effect on the ally is absorbed by Ink, including ongoing blessings and curses and attacks or effects that would normally target them both separately. Triggers "Delicious Desires" if a magical attack or effect is absorbed. Allies cannot move while being hugged, though they can still launch ranged attacks while remaining hugged. The same applies to Ink. Affected allies can break the hug without consuming an action, if they so choose to abandon the safe haven of Ink's bosom.

Galactic Mermaid: Ink slices through the enemy with the Inkwell, consuming 1 blood charge to lay a random curse on them. (Determined by a d8) Curses are lifted at the beginning of their next turn after the duration, (before they act) rather than the end of the last turn it has an effect on them. Fails if no damage is dealt, but the blood charge is not consumed if so. Does not generate blood charges.

• Berserk: The target loses all self-control and just starts attacking either the nearest enemy they can find or the one they find the most infuriating, usually Ink. They gain +1 strength and their basic attacks gain half a star in damage, but they can only use basic attacks with any and all of their actions. Lasts for 3 turns.
• Bloody Mary: All of a sudden, the target starts seeing double. Whenever they attack, their target is treated as having +4 Perception. Lasts for 3 turns.
• Charm: The target falls desperately, madly in love with Ink. For 3 turns, they ally themselves with Ink and will begin fighting against Ink's enemies or helping Ink and his allies. (If they are the only enemy, they will cease all aggression) They will also obey Ink's requests, within reason, if they can understand Ink. Will end early if they receive any damage from Ink or his allies.
• Clouded Thoughts: The target becomes distracted, and can only take one action per turn. (not including recovering) Lasts for 4 turns, or until the next time the target takes damage and recovers.
• Confusion: On each of the afflicted character's Turns, a D4 will be rolled to determine if the character attacks normally, uses a basic skill or spell, guards, or dodges. If the roll is a 2, a D10 will then be rolled to determine which basic skill or spell is used, based on the order they are listed in the character sheet. A list of all the battle's participants will then be randomly generated, and the afflicted character will attack them all in that order, if applicable, removing two participants from the list on each Turn. Even if the victim of the confusion status is taking damage or recovering and a D4 roll is not necessary, two names will be removed from the list on each of their turns. Once the end of the list has been reached, the status will end.
• Fear: In the eyes of the target, Ink's visage is replaced by a horrifying creature clad in inky blackness. They cannot willingly approach or attempt melee attacks against him, even as reactions. Lasts for 3 turns.
• Sleep: The target enters a magical slumber, patiently awaiting true love's kiss to wake them up again. Lasts for 3 turns, or until they take any damage whatsoever. Sleeping targets take x1.5 damage from attacks that wake them up, as well as all consecutive attacks in the awaking combo.
• Slow: The target's senses are drastically dulled as the world passes them by as if in fast forward. Their Reaction stat is reduced to 0 and their perception stat is halved (rounded down) for 3 rounds, not including the round it is inflicted.

Marked for Death: Ink bullies cursed enemies with the Inkwell, consuming 1 blood charge and one curse of Ink's choice to curse the target with Death Mark. Enemies with Death Mark take an additional half star of damage from all sources, not including Marked for Death. Lasts for 3 rounds, including the round Death Mark is inflicted. Fails if no damage is dealt, but the blood charge and curse is not consumed if so. Does not generate blood charges.

Unique Skill - Ravenous Impulse: Costs 6 RP to use. Ends Ink's turn if used successfully. Grants Ink additional Strength for the attack equal to half the target's Resonance, rounded down. Only usable against enemies who are either capable of magic or have magical properties. If the attack goes through, Ink gets in close to the enemy and bites them, doing his absolute darnedest to eat them alive. Deals an extra star of damage for every magical effect (blessings, curses, transformations, Ink Over's silence, etc.) on the target and triggers "Delicious Desires". Alas, his enemies are often pretty big, and his jaw is just too small. Ink will be forced to give up on eating them when they next recover. At least, for the time being.

2-Hit Rush Skill - Second Coating: Costs 3 RP to use. Performs 2 consecutive attacks. Ignores the opponent's reaction stat. Cannot be interrupted by damage trades.

3-Hit Rush Skill - Neapolitan: Costs 5 RP to use. Performs 3 consecutive attacks. Ignores the opponent's reaction stat. Cannot be interrupted by damage trades.

4-Hit Rush Skill - Four Color Theorem: Costs 7 RP to use. Performs 4 consecutive attacks. Ignores the opponent's reaction stat. Cannot be interrupted by damage trades.

5-Hit Rush Skill - Five Basic Flavors: Costs 9 RP to use. Performs 5 consecutive attacks. Ignores the opponent's reaction stat. Cannot be interrupted by damage trades.

Finest Arts - Sugar, Spice, and Everything Nice: Costs 10 RP. Ink attacks repeatedly with his various skills, such as Line Across or Heavy Drawing, as he gathers up blood charges in preparation for Just a Taste or other skills.

Finest Arts - Out of Fucks to Give: Costs 10 RP and up to 5 blood charges. Gathers up blood charges as necessary and burns them on Galactic Mermaid and Marked for Death, doing everything in his power to make his enemies suffer.

Finest Arts - Feast of Bullshit: Costs 16 RP and up to 4 blood charges to use. After breaking through the enemy's defenses, Ink smothers them in as many curses as he can with Ink Over, Marked for Death, and Galactic Mermaid, before finally digging in with Ravenous Impulse.

Due to his passive "Insatiable", Ink has never used his magic abilities, and therefore doesn't know what any of his spells do. He knows what Backfire does though.

Backfire: Cannot normally be cast. (Not a complete spell) Occurs when another spell is cast while having the "Insatiable" passive. Requires a free action to attempt without fear and two actions to complete; Ink can cancel the cast early as he senses the impending danger. If he goes through with the cast, the spell short-circuits, causing magical recoil and lowering his RP by 10. Does not trigger "Delicious Desires".

???: ???

???: ???

???: ???

Magic-Eater: Ink is completely immune to all magical attacks and effects. Physical objects lose all magically imposed momentum as they touch him and magically generated attacks pass over him like a gentle breeze.

Negativity Nullity Engine: Ink can spend or lose more RP than he has, going into the negatives. Any time Ink falls to a negative amount, after the skill finishes, he regains RP until he returns to 0 RP and loses 10% of his health for each RP gained. (Can kill him after using Finest Arts) If Ink has used finest arts at any point in the battle and falls to .1% HP through any means, he will no longer be able to use finest arts for the remainder of the battle. If Ink fully restores his health and acquires 10 RP while at full health, his finest arts will be usable again.

Delicious Desires: Any time Ink is subject to a magical attack or effect, (regardless of "Magic-Eater") he restores (Resilience*5%) of his health and gains (Resilience/2, rounded down) RP. Elixirs are 1/4th as effective on Ink, because they taste bad. Ink can also consume and digest any magical object or creature he can fit in his mouth with no adverse effects; doing so will trigger this ability.

Curse - Insatiable: Any spells Ink casts will Backfire. Excluding his first turn in combat, at the end of each of his turns, If he has not triggered Delicious Desires since the beginning of his last turn, he loses 1 RP. Every 5 consecutive turns he loses the same amount of RP due to Insatiable, he'll start losing an additional RP every subsequent turn.
