[OOC] Battle of the Leviathans (X-Men/Hunger Games RP)

[WhiteStar19]

In the dystopian future, when America is gone and replaced by an entity only known as the Council, the land mass of America is split into eight sectors, each one being named after their own sector, combining altogether to become what everyone calls the System. Each sector had a specific element that is labeled to it and from that element, the original people of the Sectors created cities and designed their Sectors to reflect their power. Sector One is Fire, Sector Two is Water, Sector Three is Earth, Sector Four is Air, Sector Five is Weather, Sector Six is Light, Sector Seven is Shadows, and Sector Eight is Animals. These are labeled this way for one specific reason: Leviathans. Leviathans, as they are called, are advanced humans with powers that label with their sectors element. They were placed strategically like this, else they would fight with the others if they were in a different sector, and the Council did not want that.

When the Council took over, they swore that they would end all fighting, but they knew that the human mind and body craved strife. So, as a counterbalance for the animal inside all humans, they created a battle field in which sixteen young adults, leviathans between the ages of eighteen and twenty five, would battle for the amusement of the rest of the nation, to keep the murderous instinct of the mind at bay and the fight or flight mindset down. Not everyone agreed with this, but everyone was forced to do it. No normal humans, those without powers, were chosen to go into the arena. Sixteen would walk into the arena, only one would walk out.

So people would not be training for a specific arena each time, the Council appointed a man would change the arena, a five mile by five mile space with the ability to close in on itself if necessary, every year as the Battle started. This man was called "the Gamemaker". Many people could guess the idea for the next arena, but many were also wrong. Each year the Battle arena is different, but the premise remains the same: Be the best, be the strongest, stay alive.

Information on the Sectors

Sector 1

Sector One, also called Burnside by some of the other Sectors, is the oldest of all the Sectors, which means that Fire Leviathans have been around the longest. Though it has been around the longest, Burnside has the most regular humans out of any Sector in the System. It seems to be the richest of the Sectors, considering the fact that the Battle Arena, for most of the time, is the closest to Sector One. Sector One is divided into a few Sectors of it's own, but most people just recognize these Sectors as the three main cities of Sector One: the Northern Sector, called Gagariam, where most of the Council lives, the Middle Sector, called Normiliam, where all of the normal humans live (reason for the name Normiliam), and the Southern Sector, called Igniam, where most of the Fire Leviathans live and train. Out of all of the Sectors, the difference between the normals and the Leviathans is most shown. Shown above is mainly what Igniam looks like, but the other two cities look quite similar.

Sector 2

Sector Two, referred to as the Aquanatic City, is completely one city. From top to bottom, it is completely one city. It resides on a bay area with multiple rivers, lakes, streams and waterfalls running throughout the whole city. No one can get in or out unless it is by boat only. They even have floating houses for the water, but that is mainly for the rich and upper middle class. Here, the humans and Leviathans mingle together more normally than they would if they were in Sector One. Because it is so beautiful in Sector Two, the Leviathans here are mainly against going into the Arena, but they do not fight against the Council. The Council

Sector 3

Many people relate the Earth Leviathans to desert and actual sand, when it actuality they are mainly connected with Mother Earth, which is Nature. That is why Sector Three is mainly forests. The cities are hidden among the forests and mainly in the trees. Many people love to live here because it is so pretty. Most of the people who come from here are amazing climbs and swingers. The people from this Sector seem to be more rambunctious than others and seem to be a bit more daring. They tend to travel from jumping from tree to tree and are hunting often. They are great trackers because most of their food comes from hunting animals in the forests.

Sector 4

Sector Four is literally called the Sky City as it looks like the entire city is floating in the sky. Many of the buildings are white to represent the air itself. This Sector took on a slightly Steampunk view of the world and decided to go older with its architecture when it rebuilt the Sector in the image of air. Though a lot of the Sectors are quite advanced in technology, Sector Four seems to be the most advanced, as most of the engineers for the technology come out of Sector Four. They were the first to design the flying car and some of the newer weapons. They do not have a police force because most people there can take care of themselves. They have the most Leviathans out of any Sector with humans and prefer to keep on the down low with the Council.

Sector 5

The Weather Sector has always been the most mysterious and most curious case out of all of the Sectors. One day, it just kind of... showed up and was not put there by the Council, but when the Council saw the Weather Leviathans and saw how powerful they were, they knew that they wanted them a part of the System. Sector Six is mainly in the mountainous areas, which is not a bad idea when it comes to Weather Leviathans, as they can train in each of their different little sections of the mountains. The people from Sector Six are not as friendly as most.

Sector 6

This Sector is the brightest out of all of the sectors. It can be seen all the way from Sector Four, but no further, in either direction. Most of its architecture is based on that from 2015. It is the brightest because most of the Light Leviathans have been training since they were little and they light up their city as a job for them. They are the most well trained, it is believed, when it comes the Battle.

Sector 7

The Shadow Sector, I believe, is the coolest of all of the Sectors because it is made completely out of Shadows. The Shadow Sector is completely Leviathan. There are no humans in this Sector at all because humans cannot survive in this sector. With so many shadow powers in one area, the Leviathans were able to create a Shadow City. The difference between the border of Sector 6 and Sector 7 is immense because there is a wall of shadow directly on the border. This serves as a border and a warning to humans.

Sector 8

Sector 8 is most connected with nature, and has the least amount of people, which means the least amount of Leviathans. They only have one city, which is directly in the middle of a dense forest that is surrounding them. For the border here, there is a dense forest right next to a wall of shadow as well. Most of the Leviathans here live in the wild with the animals, especially if they can turn into a specific animal.

Story Arches

When we begin the RP, my Co-GMs and I will be keeping track of who is where and the different story arches going on. They will be kept here for you guys. If we miss something, just mention one of us in a post and give us the deal on what we missed.

[Lord Wraith]

I blame @Hillan and @Stein for bringing me here.

Ewan Alasdair Boyd

"I don't think you're ready to swim in the deep end."

Toned and lean, Ewan has a physique similar to that of an Olympic swimmer. He's approximately 5'-10" in height and weighing in just under 180lbs. Light brown hair filled with flecks of blonde tops his head in an often tousled mop as sea blue eyes stare out and take in the world around him with a keen focus that makes him appear to be very alert. While his body appears generally hairless, Ewan has a light five o'clock shadow most day, shaving only when it starts to become too scruffy. Ewan's clothes often consist of a simple wet suit, although when away from the water he dons jeans, a simple t-shirt and a leather jacket.

Age:
25

Gender:
Male

Rich or Poor?:
Ewan is part of the upper middle class, while his family is not necessarily part of the upper class, he's not a lower class citizen either.

Sector:
2

For the Battle or Opposed?
While Ewan is opposed to going into the Arena, he is not about to lay down arms or surrender. A warrior at heart, Ewan will fight with the zeal to both survive and win.

Power Description:
The ability to control and manipulate water. This allows Ewan to shape and direct water, increasing or decreasing its pressure and collect droplets or moisture into large amounts of water. Ewan can harden and enhance his body by collecting and manipulating water pressure within it. Furthermore Ewan can control all sources of water and collect steam back into its liquid form. This can lead to the creation of Hydrokinetic Constructs, including basic weapons, walls and armor. While he can move ice, Ewan has little to no control over it beyond simple movements unless it melts.

As such, Ewan is able to control ocean currents, allowing him to manipulate tides. This can lead to Tidal Wave Generation or even Waterspout Generation. Ewan is even able to cause currents to move in a rotational faction leading to Whirlpool Generation.

Ewan can walk on water and even slow his fall through the air using moisture in the air if its present. In areas with high humidity or even during rain, Ewan may even be able to lift himself through the air. Lastly Ewan can heal and revitalize his body through water by submerging himself in it or absorbing moisture in the air.

Power Weakness
Ewan can not create water or liquids to manipulate. He has to manipulate liquids from a source such as a body of water or even a puddle of blood. Ewan can not function if he becomes dehydrated and therefore is sensitive to extended exposure to heat.

Weapon of Choice:
Weighted net and spear

Fighting Skills:
While Ewan does not have any direct fighting skills, he has spent numerous years fishing in the ocean and learning to tame and ride creatures much larger than himself. Ewan has wrestled with the likes of crocodiles, sharks and even some orcas. In addition to being used to taking on larger opponents, Ewan is quite skilled with a hunting spear and weighted net.

Personality:
Ewan has a calm and easy personality, but like the sea itself he can be quick to anger changing from calm to raging in mere moments with the right triggers. Thoughtful and methodical, Ewan will think through his actions before taking them, weighing out the pros and cons of each choice before fully committing to them. Possessing a caring heart towards animals, Ewan will almost always go out of his way to protect an animal or ensure its treatment. He believes in thanking the ocean for the lives it gives so that his people can eat. In contrast, Ewan can come off cold towards people, especially those who aren't from Sector 2. Ewan has a dislike towards outsiders who do not understand the beauty and raw power of the Ocean.

Biography:
Born in Sector 2, Ewan Alasdair Boyd spent his whole life around the ocean raised by his loving and adoring parents. From the very first moment infant Ewan's toes were dipped in the ocean he fell in love with the sensation of being in the water. With the amount of time he spent in the water it came as no surprise to Ewan's parents when Ewan turned out to be a Leviathan. With the reveal of his gifts, Ewan began to spend even more time in the ocean learning to surf and fish. Becoming quite the provider for his parents, Ewan grew in independence before returning home home day amidst a storm to find his family's floating house gone. The storm had sunk the house with his parents asleep within leaving Ewan as the sole heir to his family's modest wealth.

Out on his own at the age of 18, Ewan began his own fisherman business using his abilities to give him an edge over some of the more commercialized competitors. Becoming a successful businessman, Ewan spent every day at sea, honing his skills and learning to deal with numerous predators as well as the sea herself. As the time of the next Games approached, Ewan began to fill himself becoming more and more anxious. Having never been picked for the games in the last seven years he figured his luck couldn't hold up much longer and feared what the results of the Choosing Ceremonies would bring forth.

Likes:
Otters
Penguins
Red Licorice

Dislikes:
Black Licorice
Fire Arms
Beggars

Fears:
Ewan has a fear of dying alone, wishing to live a long and fruitful life surrounded by friends and those dear to him. Furthermore, he has a fear of one day going broke and as such highly values wealth. Due to his connection with water, Ewan has a fear of heat and dehydration specifically in the form of fire. Fire is unnerving to Ewan and can break his focus if he feels it has a chance of consuming him.

Weaknesses:
Like the ocean, Ewan can be very calm although he has a temper which can be very frightful but leaves him open and vulnerable. Furthermore Ewan is often slow to act and the time he takes to make a decision can be his undoing. Separated from water, Ewan is little more than a fit human being, in a desert he would soon perish. Likewise Ewan may be experience in fighting against wild beasts but he has little to no experience fighting a human opponent.

Other:
A fisherman and surfer by trade.
Ewan keeps a pet otter at home.

Theme Song:
"In The Air" by Phil Collins

[Hillan]

Jonas Shinra

Mugshot.

"When in Rome; be a Gladiator."
Standing at 182 Centimeters and a lean 71 kilograms, Jonas is a medium height, very fit young man. Boasting peak physical condition for a man of his age and physical attributes. He has a dirty blonde hair and green eyes, his complexion is fair but tanned thanks to many hours in the sun. His hair is always styled to look like bedhead and he keeps a slight scruff of facial hair on his face, looking rugged while still remaining proper.
When using his powers his skin is covered in a deep orange, almost black energy that burns extremely hot, similar in look to that of the sun's own surface.

Age:
23

Gender:
Male

Rich or Poor?:
Rich.

Sector:
1

For the Battle or Opposed?
For.

Power Description:
Solar Manipulation:
Able to absorb, store and manipulate the energy from the sun. Jonas is able to instantly combust, granting him the ability of flight, fire generation and limited manipulation as well as increased physical strength and durability. His skin burns with a temperature of over a thousand degrees, making him difficult to touch.

Power Weakness
Lack of sunlight as well as Co2.

Weapon of Choice:
Rapier and matching fencing dagger.

Fighting Skills:
He's a world class fencer, having been trained by his father and older brother, both of whom are champions, his father was chosen as tribute in his youth and won. Beyond that, he's a guy in peak physical condition who's done basic gymnastics and trained a little bit of boxing.

Personality:
He's a absolute jerkoff, elitist and with a superiority complex one could not believe. He is convinced that because he is of a higher class, he's better than others. It's because of people like him the games even exist, as a true sadist, he thrives in the misery of others. His only redeeming quality is his sense of honor, he will always give a adversary a fair fight, he will never strike down a unarmed man, nor will he use his powers against those that don't have powers of their own.

Biography:
Jonas was born to William "Billy" Shinra and his trophy wife Carolyn. Billy had made a fortune off of his victory in the games many years ago, now being one of the richest people in the world. Billy always envisioned a combatant in his son, Jonas, just like he did in Jonas's older brother, Marcus. Their father trained the two of them to be fierce, graceful warriors who were proud in victory, and would never have to face defeat.

William was a estranged father, to say the least. When he wasn't busy teaching Jonas how to fight with a sword, he was coming up with some schemes to get more wealth and power, something that rubbed off on his sons. Jonas spent his life in luxury, private schooling, private physician, gourmet food, all of it. But, he was also taught him to survive on his own, his father telling him that you never do know when your servants aren't around, and you have to be able to handle yourself. He and Marcus were dropped off in the wilderness once every year for three weeks where they had to survive without any of their luxuries. The goal was to make them apex warriors; and to keep them under their father's thumb.

Jonas bullied, picked fights and abused those less fortunate than him, he lost his first fight at 12 years old, and from then on out only got more ruthless. He broke a kid's neck in a fit of anger, and burned another two to a crips once he developed his powers in his teenage years. Being both feared and revered through all of his childhood, there's never been nothing that he cannot get.

When he was designated to be a leviathan for his sector, he gladly accepted. He had been trained to be a gladiator his entire life, after all.

Likes:
Scotch, antique swords, South American girls.

Dislikes:
Do-Gooders, fanatics and weaklings.

Fears:
To be inferior.
Phobia of drowning.

Weaknesses:
While fast and agile, he lacks raw strength, standing at only 182 CM and weighing 71 kilograms, he lacks the mass to pack a real punch. Further more, while he is powered by the sun, he still needs to eat and sleep to a degree.
He is infinite times too cocky than he has the right to be, also being prone to bursts of anger and quick to get a temperament when things don't go his way.

Other:
He insisted on fighting in his three piece suit.
He only eats organic food; he's vegan and he believes a dog is worth more than most men.

Before he was even 18 they had began preparing him as a Leviathan.

His abilities were late to develop and with his parents refusing to believe he wasn't a Leviathan they only pushed him harder.

His younger sister was the only point of true compassion he had ever known, and when she showed signs of having abilities at such a young age without training he realised she was the exceptional prodigy they had wanted.

Filled with dread and fear that she might have to endure the torment he was put through he forced himself to dig deep and find his powers.

[Mach2]

Erika Desalle

"There's a bass speaker called a subwoofer. Ever hear one? It hits you right in the stomach. Makes you feel sick. I'm kind of like that."

Erika stands slightly above average height for a woman, at five and a half feet tall. Her build is on the slim side, but not waifish. Erika's skin is light in colour - thanks partially to genetics, and partially due to a lack of excess exposure to the sunlight. Her hair, in contrast is jet-black, and usually worn loose.

Were it not for a severe case of resting-bitch-face, she would likely be quite attractive. But instead, her expression usually seems to linger somewhere between disinterest and distaste. Erika's eyes are her most striking feature. Pale blue-grey irises make her gaze piercing, if not unsettling.

Age:
20

Gender:
Female

Rich or Poor?:
Middle-class

Sector:
4

For the Battle or Opposed?
Neutral. The Battle, while unfortunate, is a fact of life.

Power Description:
When a person envisions air-based powers, their mind pictures the typical. Windstorms. Blades of air. Vacuums that pull the oxygen from a victim's lungs. But air is so much more versatile than that, and Erika's abilities are atypical. An outcast even within her own Sector, she has the ability to manipulate the vibrations that move through the air. Erika's gift is sound.

Heightened hearing: The smallest disturbances in the air can often be heard by Erika's sensitive ears.

Manipulation: With ease, Erika can affect the volume of existing noises. A whisper can carry for miles. A shout is suddenly silenced. With significantly more difficulty, she can warp and change the sounds around her. Sure, John made the attempt to compliment Jane's outfit. But what she really heard him say was more along the lines of, "Fuck off, Jane." Looks like John isn't getting laid tonight.

High Frequency: Erika can create loud tones at both high and low frequency. At a great volume, the audible high frequencies can cause great pain, perforate eardrums, cause tinnitus, and result in hearing damage.

Low Frequency: While the high frequencies are painful, it is powerful ultra-low frequencies that cause real damage. The human body doesn't seem to like subsonic noise very much. And at these wavelengths, a very slight increase in intensity makes the pressure changes shift from barely noticeable to incredibly uncomfortable. Air embolisms form in the lungs, and can be fatal when they reach the brain. The powerful waves of sound are nauseating. Infrasound can also cause a person's eyes to vibrate within their sockets, making it very difficult to see clearly.

Power Weakness:
While it can be uncomfortable, painful, and most definitely annoying, Erika's sonic manipulation is not a power that can kill quickly. At most, she can render a person unconscious, or cause trauma that may eventually be lethal. But in a deadly fight at close quarters, Erika's sound waves won't save her life.

Weapon of Choice:
Knife. It's sharp, it's practical, it doesn't require special instruction to utilize.

Fighting Skills:
While not formally trained in any form of combat, Erika boasts an impressive survival instinct. She can fight viciously, albeit clumsily, when the situation calls for it. Her flight response is as strong as her fight - Erika is all leg, and she can sprint like the devil himself is chasing her.

Personality:
Erika is not one to be the centre of attention. A lifetime of being labelled as the odd one out has led her to now automatically assume that role. She is a listener, a watcher. She observes situations from a distance, and enjoys trying to read people. How they act, what they are like, they're strengths and their weaknesses.

And when she learns these things, Erika remembers them for later. She is not a fighter, and knows she will need to rely on intelligence and manipulation if she wants to make it out of the battle alive. Erika knows she is not strong, and knows she is not a lethal threat. However, she gives the impression of a person far weaker than she truly is. Erika's quiet watchfulness can be mistaken for timid shyness, and she is careful not to divulge the extent of her abilities if she can help it.

Prior to being drafted into the Battle, Erika was studying structural engineering. She has background knowledge in physics, mathematics, and architecture.

Biography:
Erika grew up as an only child. She was born into a middle-class family in the heart of Sector 4. Mother was a high school teacher, and father worked for the government. Childhood was uneventful. She attended public school, made a handful of friends, and never struggled.

Two weeks after her twelfth birthday, Erika fell ill. She vomited. She had a fever. Her ears ached enough to make her cry, and she couldn't hear. Finally, her worried parents brought her to the hospital. She was diagnosed with a dual ear infection, and given antibiotics. The infection persisted for weeks before finally fading away.

Only something had changed. After being nearly deaf for two weeks, Erika now felt as though she could hear everything. But this went beyond sensitive hearing. It was as though she could sense the very vibrations moving through the air. She began to spend more and more time alone, unable to stand being around other people. She couldn't tolerate their constant conversation. The constant noise of their breathing. Their never-ceasing heartbeats. As often as she could, young Erika fled to the outskirts of Sector 4, as close to silence as she could get.

Years went by, and she slowly learned to control her newfound ability. First, Erika learned to silence the noise. Sitting in the back of the classroom at school, she discovered she could make the entire room go quiet, by sheer force of will. It was amusing to watch the expressions on everyone's faces, as they all suddenly felt as if someone had placed cotton over their ears. Then, some months later, Erika figured out how to make the noise louder. Whispered conversations could suddenly be heard across the room, which led to many secrets divulged, and many more angry schoolchildren. When they discovered that it was Erika causing this, she was shunned. Not only was her ability atypical for an air leviathan, but no one wanted to be around a girl who could manipulate their words.

As she entered high school, she revelled in her exclusion. The time Erika didn't spend studying, she spent indulging her gift. She learned that with enough effort, she could create sounds, and change the way they reached people's ears. And she learned the wonders of infra and ultrasonics. The effects they had on people.

Currently, Erika is in her second year of post-secondary studies, focusing on structural engineering. However, her studies will be cut short by the events of the Choosing Ceremony.

Likes:
Sudokus, ciphers, math problems. Anything to stimulate her overactive mind.
Intelligent conversation. Rarely will she talk to others, but if the discussions turns to academics or philosophy, Erika can be roped in.
People-watching. Humans are truly fascinating.

Dislikes:
Loud noises. Sure, she can make them quiet, but only if expected. A sudden noise will make the girl jump terribly.
Most types of meat, though she will never claim to be vegetarian.
Crowds.

Fears:
Death. Who doesn't, at least to some degree? To Erika, death is the inevitable, yet terrifying, conclusion to the Battle.

The Dark. From a young age, Erika's sensitive hearing made her especially scared of the things that go bump in the night. At twenty years of age, she still needs the reassurance of a night light.

Weaknesses:
Inexperience. Erika was not born into one of the families who trained their children as a Leviathan. She is not a skilled combatant. She's merely a young woman whose life took a rather shitty turn.

Reserved, unapproachable. Her quiet demeanor and reluctance to speak with others will undoubtedly make it difficult to acquire allies. And allies are a thing Erika will probably be needing.

Stature. Erika is not athletic. Innately quick, yes, but not strong or powerful in any sense of the world. She is a woman, and not an exceptionally tall or muscular one. She is only slightly above average height, at 5'6", and her build is on the slender side.

Other:
Forewarning: Mach has a weird timezone. Mach is not Asian, but she's currently living in Asia. I'll be UTC+8 for another couple of weeks, and then I'll be changing to UTC+7. So if you're in the Americas, my nighttime is basically your daytime. Have patience when waiting on my posts. Thank ya!

WIP Sector 6

Name: Vicki Vostrum

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Rich or Poor?:

Vicki comes from a moderately wealthy family who built their fortune procuring and selling forgotten treasures (art, pieces of dead cultures, tomes, etc).

Sector:

Sector 6 - Light

For/Against The Battle:

Put simply, Victoria is dead inside. She's justified her participation in the battle, seeing it as a chance to feel something or die standing for something. In a sense, she's hoping this Battle will either make her value her life or realize that it needs to be thrown away.

Power Description:

Light Manipulation - Victoria specializes in Hard Light constructs. Her constructs tend not to be overly elaborate as that takes time and effort she can't afford. However, what makes her formidable is her versatility with constructs. Many of her shortcomings (as compared to other members of her family) in her constructs and Light usage are solved by her ingenuity and methods for circumventing things like the inability to create large structures without sacrificing durability or her finite control over her constructs.

She can absorb light from any source that produces (so most notably she uses the sun, but can also absorb the light from light bulbs and etc).

Power Weakness:

With most from Sector 6, her power is hindered in the darkness. She can generate her own light, but it comes at a price that has a high interest rate. Constructs she generates from her own light tend to be less durable than they would during the day, unless she focuses specifically on increasing their substance.

Weapon of Choice:

Victoria can generate beams and orbs of light for a variety of purposes. However, for the sake of ease, she tends to stick with a bow and light arrows. Her particular bow has a line of crystal running the length of it that she uses to reflect natural light and make her arrows stronger at minimal cost to her.

She specializes in being versatile with her light constructs, displaying a good amount of control over their shape and appearance.

Fighting Skills:

Victoria is a survivor through and through. The skills she has honed have come from her time in the Sector 6 Underground Fighting Arena, when she started feeling societal dissociation. The Fighting Arena was her first attempt at feeling a semblance of a joy for life. The past 3 years have seen her rise to a slightly notable fighter in the Sector 6 Arena.

Personality:

To say she is distant and cold would be a severe understatement. Victoria won't speak to you unless absolutely necessary. Her silence carries as much meaning as her words (sometimes even more depending on her facial expression), and when she does speak she will not hold her tongue. Her words and word choice are measured and repeating herself is seen as an arduous task.

However, she's not a bad person at her core. She doesn't go out of her way to maliciously attack others. And though she feels little to nothing for most people, she recognizes the value they hold in their own life. She envies that, but what's more is, she respects it. The young and innocent pain her and motivate her equal parts. Her view on the matter is that if she can't find the meaning in her life or the reason to persevere, then she should at least not hinder someone from living theirs.

Biography:

From an early age, Victoria was told constantly that she was meant to do something great with her life. Just short of being doted and praised, her family reminded her constantly of the potential she had, noting her apparent natural aptitude. However, Victoria didn't necessarily feel the same. And as time went on, she began to confirm that (in her own mindset, which was slightly biased). There was a nagging fear that followed her throughout her life, telling her that her life was meant as a cautionary tale to others: something to be told around campfires and pitied by 'wise' old men and women.

However, her parents all but ignored the brewing turmoil in their daughter, drilling their craft of light manipulation into her. She spent arduous hours, days, weeks and months learning to craft her constructs to the specifications of a shallow and overbearing mother, fattened from a good life and an even better source of income.

Her uncle seemed to be the only one who took an interest in the person behind the ability, opting to take her on a few expeditions with him. Though they didn't serve to completely relieve the mental ailment she held, it lightened her. The thrill of scouring for small treasures outside of their sector brought the shadows of legitimate smile to her face. Her parents, however, soon put a stop to that, touting that this life wasn't the one they had envisioned for their daughter.

As she grew she began to seek thrills hoping to capture the joy and meaning she found in those handful of expeditions with her uncle. The mundane and ornate life not appealing --even revolting-- to her. Her thrill seeking eventually landed her in the Sector 6 Fighting Arena where she used the training and survival skills from her family and applied it to the ring. Each punch and jab served to lighten her mental load a little. She didn't have to think, she just had to fight. It was a welcome distraction and she became adept in the arena quickly. She was by no means the best, but she was a notable fighter, especially considering her age. It was a life she kept secret, as her family would most certainly disapprove.

However as most highs go, this one she eventually built a tolerance to as well. It was then that she finally turned a wary yet desperate eye to THE Arena: The Battle of the Leviathans. And as luck--or cursed fate-- would have it, she soon found herself actually tossed into the middle of it...

Likes:

Streams of water, open air and silence. She's an observant girl who processes almost everything around her. When it gets to be too much, she likes to retreat within herself in peaceful surroundings.

Dislikes:

Ignorance, loquacious people, aimless people (they remind her too much of her own struggles)

Fears:

Closed spaces. The future - she's terribly afraid of what it will bring and if the events of the Arena don't finish her off, she might just off herself to save herself from living a life of uncertainty.

Weaknesses:

Victoria is slight of frame. Though she is much tougher than she looks, her body is still small. She's kept it this way to explore the different nooks and crannies of her sector (along with the ruins her family would take her to, in an attempt to explore and recover artifacts).

Tbh, I might trash this character and go for an Earth Sector character. I have yet to fully decide.

[Lord Wraith]

@WhiteStar19 I believe I am done with my CS now.

[Lord Wraith]

@Stein Come to Sector 2, the water's warm.

He peed in it.

@Lord Wraith@Mach2
Both looked awesome! Placed them in the character tab for you.

[Stein]

I've finished my character for the most part, with just a couple of areas to expound on with a couple of sentences or so.

@fij707
Alright, couple things....
1) Can you do a realistic picture? I should probably put that in the CS... I don't like anime/drawings for people. Realistic just makes it feel more alive to me. Like a movie!
2) Can you center it?
3) Will you add more to your personality please?

Besides that... it looks fine.

[Stein]

Could you give a rundown of my character, WhiteStar?
