[Rune_Alchemist]

Well....mind if I poke my interest in here? Seems like it could be fun~

[Lonewolf685]

@Rune_Alchemist
Sure, we are always in the market for more people to join our merry crew!

[Rune_Alchemist]

Excellent!~

I shall write up a CS and have them up either tonight sometime or tomorrow~

[Lonewolf685]

We'll be waiting to review it then. I don't sleep much so we won't have you wait long once you get it up.

Glad to have you aboard.

[Pikmin Eye]

So, I think I'm still waiting around for Mary at this point. I know she needs time to rig the place up for explosions.

@RiverMaiden Where or where did our crazy Mary go?

Amelia Brandt

Amelia

Name:
Amelia Brandt

Title:
Knight of the Dark Wind.

Age:
18

Gender:
Female

Grade:
4th

Academy:
Imperial Song Knights' Academy of Cadenza.

Height: 6'2" (195cm)
Weight: 184 lbs (83 kg)

Alignment:
Lawful Evil

Appearance:
Standing at an incredibly tall six foot two, and weighing in at a hundred and eighty four pounds, she's not exactly someone most would want to mess with since she can probably knock someone out by a sing hard punch to the noggin. Physically speaking, Amelia has obvious muscle across most of her body from her daily work outs and training, and her overall build is fairly lithe. She haswhite hair, along with emerald colored eyes, and would likely be considered fairly attractive even if she isn't the most well endowed of women. Often, she is seen wearing her light clothing, forgoing any armor in favor of speed.

Personality:
Confident, self assured, but calm and level headed would be the perfect words to describe Amelia. At first, she will definitely come off as a little antagonistic in her behaviors and often times tends to make people have a rather negative opinion of her on their first meeting. Of course, judging a book by its cover is always a bad thing, but sometimes first impressions are correct.

In Amelia's case, the first impression isn't entirely wrong. She does, in fact, think little of others upon meeting them. A little known fact though, is that she loves fighting, and has very high respect for those able to match her ability in such an area. Its pretty much the easiest and best way to get on her good side. She's always up for fighting something, be it a duel with a fellow knight, or some giant monster.

Really, she just wants to have a good time fighting.

History:
Growing up in the Bach Empire, to say her time growing up was all fun and giggles would be...well, wrong. While she doesn't exactly have a sob story, its not exactly glamorous either.

To start with, her parents - some wealthy merchants - never exactly wanted a kid. So what'd they do? Let some nobles adopt her who weren't able to have kids themselves. Now, they weren't the bad sort of people who does terrible things to little kids, but they weren't the nicest of folks either. While she was taken fairly good care of, had a good upbringing and generally a fairly easy life, it was made clear to her from day one she was there for one reason and one reason only: Become a Song Knight. Not just any song Knight, the best Song Knight.

As such, she has taken to heart training everything about her physical abilities. After all, relying on a spirit was nice and all, but that didn't mean she should sit around and be useless and let the spirit do all of the work. For years, she honed her abilities, simply to impress her adoptive parents. After all, she didn't want to disappoint them. Plus, she well, found that she rather enjoyed training, fighting, and honing her skills.

So she did everything she could in Cadenza Academy to improve and hone her abilities, and with the help of Nem, she quickly became quite strong.

Instrument and Weapons:
Amelia's weapon and instrument are one and the same. At first, it appears to be a fancy looking thin sword about an inch thick. It's a simple, but effective thrusting weapon in the right hands, and its blade sharpened on all sides, it can do some fairly well slashing damage too. Mix that with Nemain's powers, and you have a fairly dangerous attack force to deal with. She is agile enough and physically strong enough to wield it with grace and ease in almost all situations. Despite its elegance and seeming frailty, the blade is strong and able to pierce through most armors and defenses.

Her instrument is a Tin Whistle, a type of flute built into the blade. She can play it quite easily, though the blade is hollow near the base and the handle to allow for the instrument to function.

Magic:
Blessing of the Dark Wind:
Amelia's magic is rather simple. Playing a haunting, somewhat somber melody on the whistle, the Blessing of the Dark Wind increases ones agility and awareness by way of 'feeling' the wind and its movements. It makes dodging attacks and sensing incoming ones quite easy, making her a bit difficult to hit. Also makes her light as a feather as well, while still retaining her physical strength.

Other:
Tends to dislike other Spirits, and Knights who rely on their Spirits too much.

Nemain, the Ominous Wind

Spirit

Name:
Nemain

Title:
The Ominous Wind, Frenzy of Battle

Gender:
Female

Element:
Dark/Wind

Rank:
B

Height:
5'4" (164cm)

Weight:
120lbs (54kg) without buffs/using her abilities

Appearance:
Unlike Amelia, Nem is on the smaller side. A bit of a cute demonic imp, some might call her. Standing barely at five foot four and weighing in at 120lbs, she's not all that physically impressive. In fact, most would describe her entire appearance as 'adorable'. At least, to begin with before she opens her mouth for any reason.

She is humanoid in appearance, with bright red hair, pale skin and red colored eyes. She has a set of bat like wings extending from her shoulders that allow for easy flying. She has a pair of horns on her head which curve around her forehead, and a flexible tail that has a bladed tip that can cut cleanly through most metals.

As far as clothing goes...weeeeel, she doesn't like wearing a lot. Aside from things that cover her important bits, she mostly goes around in her birthday suit.

Personality:
Nem and Amelia have fairly similar personalities, though outwardly they appear to be quite different. Where Amelia is calm, collected, and generally aloof, Nem is loud, rambunctious, and somewhat promiscuous and takes great pleasure in causing trouble in mischief. She also tends to be rather lazy and apathetic, not taking most fights and things seriously. Not that that small quirk bothers Amelia, as she doesn't like having Nems' help in battle scenarios. When she does take a fight seriously, though, she takes an almost sadistic pleasure in it.

Powers:
Wind Manipulation.
As a spirit of Dark and Wind, she has control over both of said elements. With wind Manipulation, She can control winds at a reasonable ability. While she's not going to be creating a massive tornado on the spot without a little preparation, she can create blasts of wind that would knock most grown men in full armor off their feet. Additionally, she may create sort of 'localized' blasts of wind for pinpoint piercing damage by condensing the blast of air to about the size of an arrowhead and give them a cutting edge, and launching it at the foe. While it's probably not gonna punch a hole through armor in one go, quite a few of these blasts are gonna make someone hurt, and if she hits ya in juuuust the right spot...well, you gonna hurt.

Her body is also incredibly light, thanks to this fact. While she normally weighs 120lbs, she can cut her weight down to around 40lbs when using her abilities, while retaining her fairly impressive physical strength.

Dark Abilities:
Melody of the Dark Wind:
As far as her dark abilities go, she only really has one trick up her sleeve, and its a buff for Amelia. A high risk, high reward type ability, its a draining, often times dangerous ability but the pay off should one have need of it. Nem puts Amelia into a trance like state. In this trance like state all of Amelia's physical abilities are increased almost ten fold. Speed, Strength, Agility...everything gets a massive boost.

The downside is, any stimuli she receives, be it visual, auditory, or any other stimuli, she will respond with only a cold, wordless hostility. Not only that, she will simply ignore any wounds she receives, even those that could potentially be indirectly fatal, such as blood loss, loss of limb, etc. Additionally, the effect lasts for only a short minute. At least, that's as long as Nem has ever allowed her to safely use the state. Any longer and it could potentially have less than glamorous results. When its up, she usually feels like she just ran a hundred mile marathon and hasn't eaten or drank anything in a week. Needless to say, it puts a massive strain on the human body.

Nem has to physically touch Amelia for a few moments to induce this trance like state into the Knight, and while it is active, Nem is fairly useless as it takes quite a bit of concentration to maintain it, and cut it off.

Other:
Has a distinct Irish accent.
Likes Apples

Alright, there she is. Took a bit longer than i wanted, as I had trouble coming up with an instrument, but I think she turned out alright~

Do tell if there are any problems with anything, and I will change things accordingly once I am able~

[RiverMaiden]

@Pikmin Eye
Oh my goodness, I am so sorry D: I've been super busy lately, I should have left a message or something -.- I'm getting freed tomorrow, so I'll have my post up by then. *bows in shame* Please forgive me rudeness ;(

[Lonewolf685]

@Rune_Alchemist
The CS looks good to me, Rune. I vote in favor of Amelia.

@RiverMaiden
No worries RiverMaiden. Just glad to still have you with us, and appreciate the status update.

[TheWendil]

@Rune_Alchemist

I too approve of her.

[RiverMaiden]

@Rune_Alchemist
Looking over your Spirit, I have suddenly remembered a part of Mary's personality that I haven't showcased at all, even though it's supposed to be ingrained in her way of speaking... *cough*innuendo*cough*

@RiverMaiden

pfft
Well then.

They need to have a conversation where every sentence is an innuendo of some sort~

[The Irish Tree]

@Rune_Alchemist
Huh...Amelia and Rhodri are like, opposites in a ton of ways.
One has a support buff, one has a self buff, one has a spirit that favors mischief, and one has a spirit that favors order and law, and their spirits are opposite elements to boot.


Nifty.

[TheWendil]

Notice: Posts will be few from me for the next week.

@The Irish Tree

huh~

I didn't even notice, but you're right. I am now interested to see how they interact with each other~

[KoL]

@Rune_Alchemist

Sorry for the delay. Your character is ok by me. You can move her to the character tab.

Everyone else, sorry for the disappearance, but I spent the past 6 days sick. I'll try my best to get things rolling again on this weekend.

I would like to know if you guys would prefer for us to skip the rest of the tournament altogether? It appears that inevitably it'll get stuck, so we might as well, move for the next scene already.

If it's yes, I'll have the villains (through out beloved ???) attack again and kick in the next part of the plot, which will be a good opportunity for everyone to react. Either way, I'll be posting something between today and tomorrow.

[Eklispe]

I mean I would prefer to at least finish the fight I'm in but I wouldn't cry if we moved on either.

[Pikmin Eye]

From a character perspective, it would be a shame to skip the tournament. OOC, it was a shame how stuck we got on this. Guess some of us just showed up to wait for an opponent and won by default? Or would it end due to said villain's scheme?

[TheWendil]

@KoL

Considering the lack of people we have, moving us on already is probably the best.

@Eklispe

We can finish the fight in a collab sometime this coming Wednesday.

[Lonewolf685]

Maybe it's because my own opponent bailed on me, but i'd vote to skip it.
