Oh well i guess i can try to take dibs on [color=003471][/color] ?

[January]

That color might be a bit hard to see on this background. @Eviledd1984 But yeah I'll change it.

@January

I see then perhaps you can change it to this color? [color=fff200][/color]

[January]

Yup, changed.

[Ruiner]

Not complete by any stretch, but I've gotton all the boring basic stuff down. I've got a hell of a backstory though so strap in for that one when I get enough sleep to make it not totally bonkers. Also sorry if some stuff doesn't make sense... it's very late and I'll be editing this soon.

Ash is an... eccentric fellow with a taste for the finer, more dramatic things in life. Personally tailored suits with macabe goldwork woven into them, unique canes meticulously crafted from rare materials, independantly comissioned watches, even the wraps that hide him from the glares of others were painstakingly woven together by expert hands. Taking off his jacket and rocking the "rolled up sleeves, suspenders, and slacks" look is about as casual as he get's around friends, let alone strangers. And yes, he has dozens of replacement sunglasses at home and usually a spare on his person at all times "just in case."

Armed with a harvestman's scythe Ash has learned to be a patient warrior, dancing across the battle avoiding mortal blows left and right while draining foe of blood and vitality before setting them up for a decisive, final coup de grace.

• DANSE MACABRE - Personal Buff / Fueled by the energies of the crown Ash is able to move through the air unfettered, blurring across the field with a vigor that defies reasoning.
• PHANTOM LIMB - Dynamic Passive / Gaining assistance from beyond the grave, a spectral limb will lash out or defend against attackers with their ghostly touch bringing with it the chill of the dead, sapping opponents of their vigor.
• BANSHEE'S SCREAM - High Energy Cone Attack / The air freezes as Ash releases a keening wail that chills one to the bone, shaking the barriers between life and death to their foundations and leaving them open to attack.
• ASHES TO DUST - Short Range Teleportation / Disintigrating into ash and bone dust, Ashley shifts from one spot to the other in an attempt to hit his opponent from odd angles. Can be used in conjunction with Danse Macabre to creat a foul wind that passes by all obstruction.
• MEMENTO MORI - Finisher / In a quick, decisive strike Ash severes the ties that bind and releases his foe from this mortal coil.

[RedDusk]

@RuinerJust a note, we are iffy on non-human characters. It might be possible to play one with certain crowns, but we will have to see which backstory you have up there first to decide, so don't get too invested in this route.

Also, here's something we'd like you to adjust about the abilities. Phantom limb is not a perfect defense and will take several hits to completely 'sap the opponent of their vigor'. Memento mori is fine, but disclaimer, not all enemies can be one-shot. On certain enemies, it will just do big damage. Banshee scream will also not be a perfect stun. There will be duration on its effects.

[Ruiner]

@RedDusk
The "Something Inbetween" Tagline is just something to spruce up the sheet, since "HUMAN" seemed weird, and those were all things I already had in mind for their limiters. Again, just more flowery language that I'm able to regurgitate with my 3 braincells.

[Ruiner]

Ash is just an eccentric weirdo that got dipped too deep into the macabre paints.

Ah, in that case, as you were.

Those who had served in wars, those veterans who had returned to their country after touring far away lands and battling enemy soldiers, they would recognize the look in her eyes, the gaze of one who had seen much and lost parts of themselves to it. A stoic sort of person, who seemed to go into battle not as a person, not as a Crown, but as 'War'. As such, she was never the type to be friendly, or at times, even helpful. At her best, she was that reliable, if silent, Crown in the thick of battle. At her worst, she was the kind of Crown to destroy Elegies without concern for her fellow teammates getting caught in the crossfire. A troublesome person to work with, but reliable and trustworthy when the chips were down.

As a naturally silent person, she never had many to call friend that three years ago. Thus when she received her own awakening, her own Whispers, she was naturally surprised to find out her friend was a Crown.

At first she was ecstatic, for who had not fantasized about having powers before? Even if hers seemed to be extremely specific to vehicles, the utility it brought then was useful to have. However, not all was rainbows and sunshine, for not long after, she learned of how cruel the world can be, as she escaped as the sole survivor of a botched foray into the grayscape. Outwardly, she didn't change much to her family and few friends that wasn't involved in the Crowns business, but to those few Crowns that knew of her, she changed drastically from a relatively shy and silent girl, to be a colder and more calculating robot.

★★☆☆☆	★★★☆☆	★★☆☆☆	★★★★☆	★★★★★

A Crown focusing solely on vehicles. She was average in most of her abilities with the exception of her high defense and energy, but when it comes to manipulating and controlling vehicles, none can match her extremely specific niche. With it, she can control any vehicle and access their functions, while multiplying and enhancing their abilities and characteristics, enabling them to even drive on walls, jump, flip around on a dime, etc. All attributes depends on vehicle's base capabilities. A motorcycle will be able to withstand a lot of damage to its chassis, but not as much as a car. While her mana usage per vehicle was extremely efficient, controlling a large fleet of vehicles can drain her reserve quickly.

Her weapon manifests only after she transform it into any controlled vehicles, or integrates it with any preexisting weapons while taking on their properties on the vehicles if any exists, transforming into a jetblaster utilizing the engines to fire mana blasts. Size varies on the vehicles used, what weapon system it affects if any, and if she transforms entire vehicles or just parts of it into a jetblaster, though regardless of how large it was, she could always handle it effortlessly.

• Goldlion Hammer - Low to High Energy, Single line Piercing AoE - Engages and overcharges her weapon's engines, turning it into a gold color, to deliver a single destructive attack. Higher energy cost with higher damage with more engines in it. Disintegrates the weapon after use.
• Hammerspace Garage - Passive - She can store any vehicles she has taken over in a sort of a pocket dimension, throwing both the vehicles and anything inside it into storage for later use.
• Glory Road - Passive - All vehicles under her control gains enhanced characteristics based on their base form. A controlled motorcyle will be able to withstand much more damage than its unpowered form, but will not take as much as a controlled car. However, the motorcyle will be able to go much faster in a shorter amount of time as well as turn better than a controlled car. Any and all vehicles will also be capable of impossible feats like driving up vertical walls, jumping, turning on a dime, etc. Will disintegrate the vehicle used after a while.

The Crown manifests instead, as a gasmask, covering the lower half of her face, while transforming her outfit into a loose fitting red hooded cloak, under which lies her reinforced bodysuit. Reddish marks cover the sides of her face like a burn, remnants of the full visor that used to cover her face, now only leaving vestigial traces of itself. She could manifest it again, but she opts not to. In this form, her hair turns silver, and her eyes a bright gold, almost glowing.

@GreenGoat Looks fine, just note that her vehicles will disintegrate after she uses the hammer attack or after she uses them for an extended amount of time under the buff regardless and she'll need to go steal more people's cars. After you add that throw her in the CHAR tab.

[GreenGoat]

Done.

[Vertigo]

Hmm, since it seems like people are avoiding the whole AOE support deal, I figure I could give it a try. Probably with the Crown of Madness?

Won't be able to work on a sheet until the weekend, and I know the Ethereals aren't first come first serve, just wanted to let you know you've my interest.

[January]

@Vertigo I say they're not FCFS as a disclaimer in case multiple people want to have the same Ethereal, but generally if no one else is like "Hey, I have a sheet for that same Crown, hold up" they're effectively FCFS.

[Pirouette]

I have the Crown or Remorse almost done. Non-ethereal though so it doesn’t really affect things.

With a fair, immaculate complexion and naturally gentle facial features that she possessed since birth, Lorelai has been acknowledged by many to be quite beautiful, something that has only been accentuated as she matured over the years. And, because of that, she's been made the main receptionist of the van Buren's funerary services ever since she turned 16. Fitting for one of the businesses dedicated to making sure the priviledged populace of Bloomfield Bay remains aesthetically pleasant even after deceased, Lorelai's outfits are as stylish as they're professional, often opting for skirts, blouses, blazers and flats no matter what situation it is.

》 𝖯𝖤𝖱𝖲𝖮𝖭𝖠𝖫𝖨𝖳𝖸

---

With an insurmountable patience and serenity, Lorelai rarely loses her soft and polite tone, speaking with a prudence that allows the clients of her family to finally come to terms with the fate of their loved ones whilst providing just enough warmth for them to endure the situation. Always politically correct and weaving her sentences carefully, her peaceful attitude and elegance, to not mention her prim and proper appearance, have earned her the nickname of an angel by many.

However, that's only what she's learned to show others and what she learned to become in order for the others to find solace within her arms. In truth, having been born in a family of undertakers has led her to face the inevitability of death with a casuality that's often unsettling. She's aware that she's lived a much different life than others and as such she rarely speaks about herself, for the sake of not dampening the mood of a situation. Nevertheless, it's true that the way she handles herself is merely a façade she has used in public for as long as she remembers, and her true self blossoms when facing the Elegies.

Underneath that heavenly mask one can find an empty husk of a person, someone who sees everything as futile and merely moves forward because it is what she has to do. Whilst she never backs down on what she has to do, it isn't out of bravery or courage and rather because she's always done what others haven't had the guts to do so. Her artificial warmth is soon discovered to be just that by her fellow Crowns and a complete lack of purpose is what's left beneath. Because, at the end of the day, Lorelai is a woman who counts every day as just another step towards her inevitable demise, a woman who's so fundamentally wrong that she holds no sense of self and, as such, she has nothing to strive for.

One'd believe that someone with such a peculiar background like Lorelai would have an interesting story to tell about her life, but they'd be wrong in this case. As abnormal as her childhood was, in the end it was only natural that it'd develop like this. During her infant years, her parents made it no secret to her that people died in all sorts of ways, and they raised her in preparation for her upcoming tasks in the van Buren funerary home.

Whilst she was in kindergarten, she had already seen three bodies in her dad's office, being prepared for their own ceremonies. In elementary, her classmates raised a couple of eyebrows at how she likened the experience of dressing up a Ken doll with her dad's job. During her years of high-school, she herself had to prepare the family members of a bit more than a dozen members of the faculty, including a teacher who had passed away during her sleep. She took their cold, dead bodies, cleaned them with the same hands she used to greet her friends and helped them into their best suits and dresses for the funerals she also had to attend.

Her temper grew cold and strong as steel, and it was that which led her to accept so readily her fate as the Crown of Grief two years ago, and the words that retired Crown spoke to her once she had been approached after Lorelai had resigned herself to her fate. And, from then until now, she practiced and honed her skills, working either alone or with other Crowns, veterans or not. She learned how to support and how to attack with the same methodical tranquility that she had when her father taught her how to deal with the maggots festering within someone's loved one.

After all, she was wrong and broken from the very start. Death would inevitably arrive for everyone, it just happened that it'd arrive much sooner for her.

The Crown of Grief forces upon its foes the cruel reality of death and its consequences on the living, ensuring the demise of its enemies whilst aiding the survival of its allies. Carrying a colossal, wicked cleaver with a strength unbecoming of her frame, Lorelai uses it merely to carry her true weapon: the guillotine setup within the sword's frame.

• YET I REFUSE: AoE, Defense. With a movement of her hand, Lorelai summons a wall of tombstones that serve as a barricade. They're quite solid and resistant.
• LET YOUR WOES CONSUME YOU: AoE, Debuff. A red mist descends upon those Lorelai sees as her enemies, setting them alight and driving them mad with pain in order to turn them against each other.
• IF ONLY: AoE, Buff. The shackles weighing down Lorelai's allies shall be lifted for a brief amount of time. However, the sad reality of those deceased cannot be averted, and so one must eventually make due with these delusions. Other Crowns will be able to fight for a while longer as if they were in their peak conditions, wounds and energy reserves notwithstanding, but they'll be doubly exhausted once the effect of this steroid finishes.
• GROUNDED BACK TO EARTH: AoE, Debuff. Eventually, one must come down from their hopeful cloud and realize how the situation truly is from now on. Ethereal ropes erupt from the ground to bind Lorelai's enemies and pull them to the ground. If these enemies have a neck, these binds will target it first.
• NOW, YOU MUST MOVE ON: High-Energy. A single, weakened target is elected by Lorelai to pass on, and a fascimile of them is manifested with their neck on the guillotine. After five seconds, the blade is let loose and the duplicate is beheaded, which deals incredibly high damage to that single being.

Calliope "Cal" Higgins

❈ HUMAN ❈

》 BASICS: Calliope "Cal" Higgins || 21 || Female

» 𝖨𝖭𝖳𝖤𝖫𝖫𝖨𝖦𝖤𝖭𝖢𝖤	» 𝖢𝖱𝖤𝖠𝖳𝖨𝖵𝖨𝖳𝖸	» 𝖢𝖮𝖭𝖥𝖨𝖣𝖤𝖭𝖢𝖤	» 𝖧𝖴𝖬𝖮𝖱	» 𝖢𝖧𝖠𝖱𝖨𝖲𝖬𝖠	» 𝖤𝖬𝖯𝖠𝖳𝖧𝖸
★★☆☆☆	★★★★★	★★☆☆☆	★★★★☆	★★★☆☆	★★★☆☆

》 APPEARANCE: 162cm tall || 54 kg || hazel eyes || brown hair

---

Cal is fairly small at 5'4, which along with her wide green-brown eyes, adds to the look of childlike innocence about her. She keeps her long dark hair in a braid or ponytail, as it tangles easily if left loose. She dresses in bright, cheery colours (not always ones that match) and often has some kind of eye-catching accessory (again, not necessarily one that goes with her outfit). Buttons, badges, wacky jewellery and hairpins from craft fairs, you name it. On her upper back is a tattoo of her own design; a paintbrush with streaks of colour spreading out on either side of the tip, like the feathers of angel wings.

》 PERSONALITY

---

In a nutshell, Cal is a caffeine and sugar-fuelled whirl of cheer and creativity. For some, this means she's fun to be around, while others find her downright annoying, not that it'll stop her antics. Acting on impulse rather than logic, she tends to act and speak without thinking, landing herself in trouble. Putting up an air of confidence, though, she always bounces back, or at least pretends to.

Her carefree facade is something she applies like paint to dull canvas, or to a brittle clay figurine. It hides her damaged self-esteem from her mother's demands, her fears of ending up like her father, her worries for friends unaware of the Greyspace, the toll her responsibility as a Crown takes on her. Nonetheless, she always does the best she can, as digging deeper under that vivacious front will reveal a kind, warm idealist who goes out of her way to make the world a brighter and better place.

》 HISTORY

---

Calliope cherishes her earliest memories of her father. As an illustrator, he was a highly imaginative individual, fuelling his daughter's creativity from a young age. The two would spend entire days walking through woodlands or along the seafront, as he told her countless stories about mythical creatures supposedly inhabiting these areas. Her mother found such stories and games a waste of time, but neither Cal nor her father cared.

The magic of childhood, however, faded as he grew distant over time. He became engrossed in his work, neglecting family, friends and his own health. It was this way that the once innocent Cal came to know what drink and substance abuse were, with it happening in her own home. While out of it, her dad would sometimes mention hearing a strange song. He resorted to any means necessary to experience this otherworldly influence. It was this lack of care for himself that led to his early death.

The last of the wonder disappeared from Cal's life along with him. Her already strict mother kept her under an even tighter rein, claiming it dangerous to get lost in a fantasy world, wary of the slightest foray into fancy. Determined to raise a practical-minded, straight-laced student, she put twice as much pressure on her to succeed in school. Sadly, no matter how she tried, it turned out Cal wasn't academic. Her strength lay in her creative skill, which her mother frowned upon. Many times, she'd verbally lash out at her daughter, saying outright that she'd end up as a self-absorbed drunken head case like her dad.

Cal found refuge in her friends, who encouraged her to resume and pursue her passions no matter what anyone else thought. It took a while, and made the home situation worse, but by the time she was old enough to live away from home, it no longer mattered. She got a job in a cafe, funding short courses in graphic design. On the side, she'd paint, as well as make clay sculptures that she'd sell online and at craft fairs. By now, she had a solid circle of friends who supported her, but before long, she noticed some of them show all too familiar signs of madness.

Some people put the sole blame on drugs, but the truth was even worse. When the odd whisper lured Cal into a warped, empty version of the city, and a diamond-like crown appeared before her, she thought she'd lost her mind too. It was when she learned from other Crowns about the nature of the Greyspace, and the creatures inhabiting it, that she found out what had happened to her dad all those years ago, and what was now happening to the people around her. Since then, she's been giving her all to stop them, or anyone else, from meeting that same fate.

Broad in scope as expected of human imagination, what Cal's magic lacks in defense, it makes up for in versatility. Her support effects can make her a valuable ally, as long as she teams up with someone who can tank hits.

Her weapon resembles a six-foot crystalline paintbrush, which can be used for blunt strikes as well as to channel magic. The paintbrush glows various colours depending on the magic she uses.

• FLIGHT OF FANCY: Cal grips the neck of her paintbrush and presses the tip to the tattoo on her upper back. A pair of birdlike wings grow from between her shoulder blades, flowing like liquid. While she can reach impressive flight speed, the wings are easily damaged. Not only does this cause her pain, which translates to the corresponding area on her back as soon as the appendages disappear, it puts her at risk of a serious fall. Also, while this technique is in effect, it slowly drains her magical energy.
• CRAFTED COMPANIONS: She can imbue some of the clay figurines she crafts and paints with magic - namely, dragons and fairies, as they are her speciality. These sculptures must be under one foot in height and width. If she does so, she can summon them in battle as miniature creatures that assist her in battle. While not sentient, they will obey her commands.
  The dragons breathe jets of fire, whereas the fairies can provide small boosts to a person's magical energy as long as they remain summoned, and each fairy can only buff one individual at a time. The companions' moves drain Cal's own reserves.
  Although the creatures are helpful to have around, they can't take much damage. Usually, one hit is all it takes to reduce them to a pile of clay fragments. Up to five companions can be imbued with magic and summoned at once.
• SPLASH OF COLOUR: Cal's strongest but most taxing move. Her paintbrush glows a myriad of colours as she channels energy into it, which is unleashed upon contact with an Elegy. As well as dealing significant damage, it leaves a luminous mark on the monster that slowly weakens it further until it fades after about twenty seconds. By default, the mark is a blob, although Cal can choose the shape. Doing so provides no extra effect besides a cosmetic one, but why not brighten the atmosphere by painting hearts, flowers, silly faces etc on her enemies?
• GLAMOUR: Alters the appearance of one person or object of Cal's choosing. By doing this, she can confuse foes by making an ally look like someone else, or disguising one of her summoned creatures as a different type. This effect can last up to a minute.

❖ TRANSFORMED APPEARANCE

---

As the Crown of Imagination, Cal's hair and eyes turn brilliant blue. Her crown is an actual crown, which floats above her head and resembles lines of shimmering gold paint more than a physical object. Her outfit, while not providing much defense, is light and easy to move around in.
