The Heroes of Beacon - The Next Chapter!

[Lady Seraphina]

Name: Sapphire Rode Age: 17 Gender: Female Race: Human Weapon: Sapphire is skilled in using Two sawed off shotguns each about two and a half feet on length. From there the second form is as a sickle, it's like a scythe but more hand held. From the shot guns a bladed folds out on the side of the Gun fires. Part of the gun retracts so it can be easily wielded with one hand as melee weapon. In this form it is still capable of firing. For the third form the buts of the guns interlock and two pols extend from both of them creating a grip. The triggers from the shotguns realign themselves so both are easily firable from the staff's grip. In this for Sapphire's weapon is about six feet long. The blades in this form have three positions, there standard position for cutting from unusual angles, straight out for stabbing and inverted so the blade is parallel to the shaft for side slashes. In all three forms the shotguns are still operable. However Sapphire prefers wielding her Anelaces, Morpheus and Phobetor. Morpheus and Phobetor Sapphire's two daggers there names meaning Sleep and Nightmare respectively. Each disassembles itself into a two inch by two inch black metal boxes that clipped into leather bands that Sapphire is always wearing. The daggers are impact activated meaning the will transforming out of storage mode when any amount of serious impact force is applied to them. The assembled form will pop out with just enough force to get the handles into Sapphire's hands. Her favored method of drawing them is clapping her wrists together and having them shoot up into her hands. Morpheus and Phobetor are specially designed. Apart from there special method if deployment both knives have a dust powered rocket mechanism in the pommel allowing Sapphire to increase the speed of her strikes or alter her momentum. There is also a dust cartridge slot right bellow the cross guard that will have a variety of effects based on the type of dust used. Fire cartridges will super heat the blades making it easier to pierce or sometime outright melt armour. Electricity rounds will electrify the blade making contact deadly. The blades on both knives retract in this form Sapphire can clip the hilts onto her shoes. In this manner she can use the rockets as a propulsion system. Specialty: Sapphire favors an up close and personal style of attack. She utilizes surprise and her Sembalance to great efficiency while fighting. Her style of fighting states that speed is the best armor. As such she is quick with her attacks and light on her feet but she cannot take many hits. She is skilled in acrobats and is much stronger than she looks. She can sprint for very long distances without tiring. She is not a team player, her attacks are aimed to disabling the enemy as quickly as possible and she has very little regard for fighters that don’t know what they’re doing or teammates who get in her way. Sapphire also has some skill in healing. Not mystically but with different medical items. Her style of medicine though is field medicine applied to get someone moving as quickly as possible without injuring them rather than other types that focus more on making sure wounds heal properly. Semblance: Selective Sight Sapphire has the ability to vanish into the background. It is not invisibility exactly; a better way to describe it would be that she is able to slip from the notice of others. Not invisible just unnoticed. It is most effective in darker settings and will not work if someone is expecting to see her. For instance if she is having a conversation with someone she can't simply disappear but if she is being chased and she gets out of eyesight of her pursuers she could slip from their perception leaving them rather confused. It is not always a conscious effort on her part and sometimes may simply happen when she is nervous or stressed out. The illusion only works as long as she stays inconspicuous. So if she starts to speak or does something that draws attention the illusion would be shattered. Because of this, it often gives people the impression that she appears from nowhere when she joins in a conversation. With concentration and effort Sapphire is able to use a burst of aura to apply this ability to others close by. When this ability is in use Sapphire's perception of the world becomes slightly unfocused as if she is viewing the world through a lens. It is not so bad that she can't run but important details may slip past her notice. Personality: Sapphire is the daughter of a famous hunter named Janus Rode who has trained her since she was very young. People often question her about her family but it is not something she likes to talk about much. She had an older brother who ran away from home some ten years previously. Her mother died in childbirth. She also has two sisters, one older, one younger but neither of them received the training necessary to enter Beacon. Sapphire is very closed off, she doesn't talk about herself and if asked will deflect the questions without giving any real answers. Sapphire often feels very isolated and alone but she is scared to relate to people, to make friends, to let someone into her heart. She is scared that if she does they may not like what they see. This fear she covers with snide remarks and sarcastic comments giving the impression that she doesn't care what people think about her. Despite her cold demeanor she does truly want to help people, she’s loyal to those who are loyal to her and she is compassionate though she doesn't often let people see it. Color: Somber Midnight Blue Emblem: Drawn with somber colors, it is the Egyptian symbol of life, the ankh with a massive fissure running diagonally through it. Appearance: Has electric blue hair which is not quite apparent in the photo. She's average height at about 5'10". She is built light and agile and is very flexible which is a boon to her fighting style. She has a number of long white scars running over her hands which she uses white silk gloves to cover. She has similar though less noticeable scars on her back.
