@Vena Sera

I am NOT insane... everyone posted... Tension!!! TENSION!!!! *cough* Anywho...

[GambolMuse]

Just so people have a general idea of what's going on here:

Zander is at the mayor's building going to see the man. Nymira and likely Cecil will go as well, where they will meet Zander.

Ethan and Amune are going to find an inn for the day, and will rejoin the others afterwards.

The group's going to get a job from the mayor in exchange for what they want.

They'll meet someone else along the way :P

Vagueness is vague! :D

Hello, everyone. :)

Danica Silvar

Name: Danica Silvar

Age: 21

Gender: Female

Race: Naga

Appearance:

Image

A slender woman, Danica prefers to wear light clothing when at rest (see above) and flexible leather armor in combat. At times, she’ll don a mask that covers the upper half of her face to hide her striking snake eyes—while she can still see through it, it greatly impairs her vision and she wears it only by necessity. She carries a hooded fur cloak with her and will often wear it unseasonably in order to protect against the extremes in temperature that Naga are particularly susceptible to. She prefers regular attire and armor alike with hoods, which she tends to pull down over her eyes.

Element Affinity: Shadow

Magic: Shadow spells. She can cloak herself from sight with shadow magic, but this obviously works much better in the dark, and only on those who are not especially focused on where she is; it doesn’t tend to work reliably against skilled magic users.

Gear: A long knife in a sheath on her thigh, and a bow and quiver at her hip with poison-tipped arrows. The venom comes from Danica herself. As a young Naga, her venom is not extremely potent yet and the amount on the arrows would only cause temporary weakness in her target, assuming her aim was true.

Brief History:

Danica has spent much of her life in the seedy underbellies of various cities. Since Naga are not exactly welcome among the populace, from a young age Dani developed a general distrust and dislike of society at large. As a Magi whose talents manifested early in her life, she had even more reason to keep to the shadows with the changing views of the people and the Church. As a result, she has certainly had plenty of opportunities to hone her ability to stay unnoticed. She put her skills to good use in order to make a living in her chosen profession—thievery. As a child, she would pickpocket and steal small goods and food from market stalls, but as she grew older she would ally herself with other members of the local criminals’ nest to target larger establishments and more valuable hauls. She has been successful in her thefts for the most part, and at the very least has managed to stay out of major trouble of the sort that would get her captured or killed. Even so, she preferred to uproot herself often and stay on the move, should her face become a familiar one in any particular city.

Danica would travel with others when younger, but as an adult she’s confident that she can handle things on her own. Lately she has fallen in with a group of roving bandits, who hired her for her talents, magical and otherwise. In return, she gets a share of the profits, food, and a (relatively) safe place to shelter among their number.

Additional Info:

Despite an ability to converse easily and get along with likeminded people, Danica keeps a basic level of emotional distance from others, not even forming bonds with those whom she lived and worked with on a regular basis. She has known few Naga throughout her life, scattered as they often were, and even the criminals of other races would never trust her completely. Not to mention, her occupation was a dangerous one, and Dani traveled often. It was better this way.

Also, never call her Dani.

@AngelKitten Hello there! *glomp*

[Mogtaki]

I'll wait for AngelKitten to post before I do!

[AngelKitten]

I'll wait for AngelKitten to post before I do!

@Mogtaki

Go ahead! My character is somewhere else so my post wouldn't be any different. :)

[Mogtaki]

Okay sure! I'll get a post up soon then hopefully :D

[GambolMuse]

Let's keep this train a-rolling! Choo choo! :D

[GambolMuse]

I'm going to give Alex a chance to post if he wants, otherwise I'll write one up and move us along.

Edit: To spare anyone not wanting to read my wall of text, Nymira and Cecil showed up at the mayor's and she stormed in demanding to meet the "mayor". Meanwhile Ethan and Amuné got themselves some swanky inn rooms for the day :P

[AlexStarsion]

So I screwed up with my reading, glasses usually help, i'll have a different post up either later tonight or early tomorrow!! Sorry!! T.T"

--- EDIT

I LIED! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA....... okay, balls in someone else's court!!!!

[AlexStarsion]

@Mogtaki Cecil looks like a Mura and can't tell if he's Machina right? Im' a little confused on that front... Just wanna make sure so as not to overstep or the such

[Mogtaki]

That is correct! People just assume he's from the city where tech like limb replacements isn't a strange sight.

[shylarah]

@AlexStarsion Hey, getting started on my post, and I was wondering. Zander masquerades as non-Magi, using Seal papers. How well known is the use of said papers? If it's a more obscure method, that makes his disguise a rather weak one -- something that might be a cause for concern, what with the current state of the Church.

[AlexStarsion]

@shylarah I really do need to find the name for those crystals non-magi use... I can't seem to... How I had it set up was the ink is "made" using those crystals. In a sense, to hide behind them as a shield. After all paper is flimsy isn't it? *nervous chuckle* I honestly didn't really think about that... It was a spur of the moment type deal... I blame the Miko's of Japan and the want to make something along those lines but not female, rather male... *think* I'm probably going to have to sort that out and fix it a bit to make it seem more plausable, thanks for pointing tht out though!

@Mogtaki Okiday!! I just wanted to make sure, because in some of my early post the Machina Zander was looking at was you... Yet he wouldn't know you were a Machina since you look more so Mura then Machina... I'll have to go through and fix those up at some point... So many mini-mistakes! *bows*

[shylarah]

@AlexStarsion They're called demacite, and the easiest explanation is that it's a more common practice, so the use of demacite ink and sigils is...not as common as crystal use, but maybe it helps specify the desired effect? Focus it?

My real concern is whether Amune would have heard of using ink and sigils, or whether she'd be forced to conclude Zander is a Magi right off. Not that it will probably take her long to find out, but I imagine the "feel" of magic cast with crystals and the feel of magic used by a Magi directly is different.

[GambolMuse]

Can we also bear in mind that Amune is in fact a child, and may not be aware of some worldly things? Just saying, I know a child her age isn't borderline ignorant, but she doesn't have to know what every little thing is :P

[Mogtaki]

@AlexStarsion Haha, it would be very bad for Cecil if someone noticed he was a Machina considering he's too real looking, like you could touch him and his skin would feel like real skin.

Except if he got cut his inner workings would be exposed.

[AlexStarsion]

I'm gonna wait for you two to post then I will... It's for Zander's character frowth... A little anyway haha
