[@Everybody] I just want you all to know I love this cast of characters! And the people who made them! It's just all so much fun to play with you guys. Well expect one of you... *Laughs manaically as I believe I've just started a riot about who bad. Not realizing that it probably did nothing, won't do anything, and was basically pointless...*

Crazy researcher now being worked on!

Allaria Trout

"People see what they want to see. Nothing more."

---

Age

22

Appearance

Allaria was very beautiful once. A product of good genes and an easy life, she attracted suitors from far around but then everything fell apart. Now, although keeping a hint of her beauty, her face has been marred by three deep scars over her eyes. Eyes which once danced with the envious colours of spring are now covered over by a grimy white, her blindness all too apparent. For the most part, she covers all but her mouth and her hair. She's been saving for someone a little more decorative than a loose piece of silk but money comes hard to get. Despite this, she's retained a fit physique and has a slimmed body. Hunger had been an obvious perpetrator but she covers that as well.

Personality

Allaria has lost a lot over the years but she has yet to lose her stubborn pride. Raised by nobles, it comes as no surprise that although she can seem well mannered and elegant, she has a surprising amount of ego. Failing to learn from past mistakes, she's demanding and easy to dislike but through it all, it's very clear she's been irrevocably hurt and her scars go much further than those on her face.

A byproduct of her pride is her resilience. Despite staring down overwhelming odds and often integrating amongst the people who would have her dead, she's held on to the grim life she leads. Everything she does is to survive but she's still looking for someone to make her want to do more than just survive.

History

There once lived a girl who had everything she could ever want. She was born to two rich and influential nobles. She was beautiful, her parents showered her with gifts and not a day went by in which some brash soul would profess his undying love for her. Her life was perfect. Perfect and boring beyond belief. In truth, she longed for something more than it all. Her world was simple, infantile. She wanted to see a greater picture, a grander scale - the world and everything in it.

Despite their best efforts, her parents could never quell her demands which grew day by day. Under a dare from one of her rotten social circles, she paid a visit to a travelling fortune teller. The woman read her fate and for once, something interesting happened in this girl's life. The woman promised her that she could help her see all she wanted to see. All she had to do was leave her old life behind her. In truth, the woman was a witch - a master of illusion who wished to steal the face of one who could gain her power. The young girl's decision was made instantly; she was sick of her life.

And so, the witch summoned a familiar to take the girl wherever she wished to go and in return, the girl gave away her identity to the power hungry witch. And so, for months and months she travelled safely with the familiar as a fond companion. The world was a lavish place and like all new things, it was great and wondrous but as time went on, the cracks began to form and doubt seeped in like some dark sickness. The world was not what she thought it to be - it was twisted and hollow. And like that, regret came hissing back like a scorned lover. But the deal could not tolerate regret. The familiar was to show her what she had never seen and so, when she wished to go back, it could not allow it. She attempted to banish it, to make her own way home but the creature could allow no such thing. Surprisingly, it let her live but destroyed what she prized. Slashing her face, it rendered her blind and her beauty became flawed.

Fleeing back to its mistress, the familiar left the girl to wander the world blind for the rest of her time but she was much stronger than that. Despite the years it took, she found her way home eventually. What she found was not all that different to how she left - everything suspended as if she has never left. She hadn't, after all. The witch stole her image and had been clawing her way to power ever since. The girl obviously tried to fight, to argue her position but she was nothing more than a blind fool.

The witch, however, was impressed with her. Interested, she approached the girl once more and was surprised to find she had some aptitude for the magical craft. Feeling a strange bout of guilt, she taught the girl the basics of illusion. Stealing an image, a voice, projecting a scenario and fooling everyone around her.

Eventually, a particularly perceptive hunter found the experienced witch and dealt with her. The girl had no choice but to flee once more. The danger of her new position was never more apparent but to her foolish mind, she thought if she went back to her old life she would be safe. So of course, when she heard of ancient magic which could cure blindness and mend the scars, she followed.

Special Power

Allaria is a well seasoned illusionist. She doesn't have a single offensive spell under her belt but she is very good at hiding with the face of another. Having spent months under the guise of poor souls who gave her their image in their dying breath, she has gained a polished knowledge of tricking the mind of others. It's got to the point where she can project images that even other witches will fall for.

Her magic had two major limitations, however. The first being that knowledgeable hunters will notice it given some time. For that reason, she tends to avoid veteran hunters like the plague. Her other weakness is if she intends to stay in someone's image, she has to have spoken consent from them otherwise the magic fizzles out of control. She can briefly steal an image of another but it's flawed and easier to discern.

For the most part, the permanent images she gained were old beggars who were mostly companions to her. But she has a few tricks up her sleeve.

@WeepingLiberty

*totally didn't write the next post hearing bloodborne's OST*

Avalon and Kyrso, whatever you do, don't look back. You'll regret what you'll see...

[WeepingLiberty]

@13org

Sounds beautiful. *sniffle* XD

[Ellion]

You know, I just have a lot of harry potter feelings right now. BUT NO LONGER WILL THEY DISTRACT ME.

I am writing, and I know I said that last time. But like, for real this time.

Also @NarcissisticPotato character accepted!

@TheDoctor You know who Maddie reminds me of? A more violent Emiliah and I hope Mat feels bad about it. Or maybe what Sarah would have been like IF SHE GOT THE CHANCE TO GROW UP!

[Deos Morran]

You know... This is kinda bad and I just realized it, but I think you lads got me addicted. I find myself refreshing this page to see new content like... alot. Pat yourselves on the back for your good work, but just know that I may have a problem... Or I'm just very impatient... Probably both.

[shagranoz]

Two things. One, anyone want to interact with Jenny? Two, are the gnomes in the forest or closer to town?

[Ellion]

@shagranoz
Rose is coming back WEEEEE! To work with Jenny.
and they are in the forest, maybe....a half mile away from town. Upwind.

[Deos Morran]

@shagranoz In the event ou missed it I'm sorr I missed your post bud. I swear I didn't mean to ignore you.

[Noxx]

@13org my main thing with time and space magic is that is goes under the rule of auto hitting because there is nothing the other character can do about it even if their stronger etc etc. Its kinda like trying to fight Superman prime who has reality manipulation like whats the point homie XD

[WeepingLiberty]

Alrighty, there we go! Post up for my witches... Now to fiddle with something to send in the princess' way....

Hey, @Whoami... Just a quick question for ya. If I have a tiny little person sort of just head in your direction... If it just so happens to pass the area where the carriage broke down... Is Mr. Death still gonna be there or has he scampered off for the moment after dramatically saying his name? ^.^

[Deos Morran]

@Noxx Not to be the devil's advocate but what about your forest covering paralyzing poison? I feel that that's a pretty uh... well unblockable, unbeatable, and over-powered, super power. 13org had to mumbo-jumbo his way out of it because that would have literally auto-hit, and auto-crippled him/her.

[TheDoctor]

@TheDoctor You know who Maddie reminds me of? A more violent Emiliah and I hope Mat feels bad about it. Or maybe what Sarah would have been like IF SHE GOT THE CHANCE TO GROW UP!

@Ellion

Yeah she does, and still won't let up on him murdering a little girl? Can't wait till he meets up with Abigail and Lotte to 'reminisce'.

[Noxx]

@Deos Morran True, if I made it presto instant happen however you'd have to stay there for an extended amount of time and the further you get away the less the effects are until you're completely immune....also due to autoimmunity to which im going assume witches have the immune system of gods they would get over it fast as fuuuu.

[WeepingLiberty]

@Deos Morran@Noxx@13org

AAAAAALRIGHTY, Daddy's stepping in here. *says the girliest girl to ever girl*

When it comes to the use of abilities, it all falls down to the trust in the other player not to completely abuse the gifts. Each ability has been read, thought out by, and approved by the GM before accepted. Now, that being said, if we start picking at each other's chosen powers, no one is going to have any cool powers and we're all going to be sad. So why don't we just sit back a moment to cool down? Texts are very easy to misinterpret as hostile, and I really don't want this to turn nasty. T.T

[Noxx]

@WeepingLiberty I only said an issue I had with it the power as a whole I'm completely fine with...unless she uses gravity to do this

[Ellion]

@WeepingLiberty You are a good husband and excellent father figure.

Also, somebody has the name spinosaurus, I regret my name choice.
