@Lunarlors34 Hey, did you want to do the rest of Sora, Ethel and Rosalina's convo in a collab? Or should I just wrap it up with a "I'll think about it, come speak to me tomorrow" kind of deal?
Also @Cherrywitch, did you still wish to wrap up Eli and Bayard or just drop it? I won't really be using Bayard, Zen and Constantine anymore so it's up to you.
Location: Festival Food Court | Interacting With: Nezar Bistrum@LostDestiny
Plutus casually sauntered through the festival grounds, whistling away while he spun his bike keys around his index finger nonchalantly. He looked left and right with gentle cranes of his neck, rolling his eyes at the obnoxiously cheerful atmosphere that threatened to suffocate him. The children playing games, couples dancing to music and merchants talked up their wares; the whole experience was starting to make him nauseous. There was a time when a Golem's Hand festival would excite the young man, but it was clear to anyone that Plutus' attitude had become significantly more hostile when anyone brought the festivities up. Truth be told, this would be his first year attending one without his mother. His attention was brought to a young adolescent being dragged along the festival grounds with his family, and rather begrudgingly at that. Plutus used to act the same way whenever his mum insisted on going together. Despite his indifferent, passive aggressive complaints, he had actually quite enjoyed spending the time together. He wished now that he could tell her that.
Plutus was just about to continue past the food court, eager to see what bargains he could snatch from the local stalls, when a familiar face caught his eye. What he had mistaken for some gluttonous pig, stuffing his face with reckless abandon, was actually his good friend and team mate Nezar Bistrum. Messy hair, horrid table manners and a rather disheveled appearance; it was no wonder Plutus didn't recognise him. Nezar was usually much more composed than this.
Shoving his keys in his vest pocket, Plutus loitered around Nezar's table for a moment before snatching a meat skewer from his plate with a grin. "Is this that whole 'Austerity' trend I've been hearing about?" Taking a load off on the chair opposite Nezar, Plutus took a nice long whiff of the succulent beef skewer. "You know, where rich people eat and act like poor people just 'cause it's fun." The young man added a mocking emphasis to his words, something Nezar would no doubt be quite used to by this point. Awaiting Nezar's own witty response, Plutus took a large bite out of his skewer.
@hatakekuro Please take your time and enjoy your holiday~!
@LostDestiny I'm going to write up a post for Plutus to interact with Nezar. I'm sorry for keeping you waiting so long, I was a little pre-occupied with Bandit and writing up Claudette.
@Lmpkio I think it's just the Christmas holidays taking up everyone's time.
Though I will say that as a co-gm and fan of fairy tail rps, I'm going to take it upon myself and keep things moving if things are too quiet for much longer.

Physical Features
Claudette is a young lady whose short stature gives her quite a frail appearance. Though despite her tiny frame, she is quite lean muscled. She has a smooth, olive skinned complexion that gives her a very exotic appearance to many. Her eyelashes are well defined naturally and she sports a beauty mark underneath her left eye. She has a scar along the side of her right temple down to her cheekbone. On the left side of her neck, stretching down to her shoulder blade, is a large burn scar. Prolonged exposure to her magic causes her skin to become clammy and pale, as well as highlighting the veins all across her body by turning them black.
Claudette's eyes are a very dark brown, almost always mistaken for black unless you look hard enough. She has thin eyebrows that appear black, but are actually a very dark blue. Her hair also shares the same color and is kept cut short, except for her bangs which she grows to cover the right side of her face. When exposed to light, the blue color of her hair becomes much more apparent. Her lips are slightly pink and she has a very thin, diamond shaped jaw line. When using her magic, the whites of her eyes turn jet black and her iris' glow an ominous crimson. Large black veins become visible across her temples, spreading from her eyes like vines.
Apparel
For the most part, Claudette prefers to dress rather conservatively. While travelling, she's mostly seen wearing a pair of trousers, a shirt and a large hoodie to cover her face. Her hoodie is much too large for her, clearly a mans size, and has many different patches related to varying topics ironed onto it. There are also two large gashes in the back of her hoodie and shirt, exposing her shoulder blades. She'll usually wear some sneakers or other comfortable footwear for long walks.
When dressing for battle or a more casual affair, Claudette can mostly be seen wearing a simple white, long-sleeved blouse with a gray vest, the same large gashes found on the back near her shoulder blades. She also can be seen wearing a blue and white striped tie. She accompanies her simple look with a matching grey skirt with thigh high black stockings that lead down into a pair of neat, black lace shoes. She uses two red hair pins to tuck her left bang behind her ear, but lets the right bang flow freely down to her chin. She can always be seen wearing a simple piece of string around her neck, a small honey jade gemstone hanging from it around her neck.

Habits and Quirks
Claudette displays some very paranoid tendencies. These range from constantly checking her surroundings to being startled by sudden abrupt noises. She also doesn't particularly like the indoors, being quite claustrophobic. She tends to have heavy breathing when surrounded by too many people and can become quite irritable. Claudette bites her lip when nervous, sometimes even causing it to bleed.
Personality
Claudette's upbringing has turned into a very reserved young lady who is considered by many to be quite paranoid. Claudette trusts very little and is rarely ever willing to open up about herself. When pushed she gets very snappy, often leading others to label her as a rude individual. She prefers to keep people at a distance, viewing attachments as a weakness. Claudette often tries to act more mature beyond her years. While it's true that she has been forced to grow up faster than others her age, her lack of experience shows and she often comes off as stubborn and naive.
Claudette is afraid of many things and is a very fight or flight person. She's quick to aggression, even over the simplest of misunderstandings. At the same time, she's also the first one to bail when things go south. It's not that she lacks courage; she just doesn't see much of a reason to risk her own life for anyone but herself. Of course, she's not completely heartless. When pushed into an impossible situation, Claudette can spring into action and protect others; albeit rather begrudgingly.
Claudette is very insecure about using her magic in front of others. She claims that it's far too big of a risk for her powers to be witnessed, as it will lead her into danger yet again. Claudette's cold attitude is a by-product of her life on the run and being forced to watch anyone she got close to die at the hands of the relentless mages who hunted her for a good part of her life. To her, the greatest kindness she can give someone is to be involved as little as possible with them.
"I'm done running. I don't care what happens to me; we end this now!"
Fighting Style
Claudette has a very unorthodox method of fighting that is only possible due to her ability to fly. The biggest advantage she holds over her opponents is her aerial mobility, which allows her to attack in a variety of methods that most enemies are not used to fighting against. Claudette's wings are her main weapon, and as such her attacks usually involve her flying or dancing around; unleashing a series of wing slashes against her opponent while she hovers around the fight like an annoying fly. This often causes her to have her back to the opponent, but Claudette is so used to this that it can hardly be considered exposing a weakness anymore.
Mage Rank
C Rank
Primary Magic
Child of Darkness
Description
A Dark Magic that is unique to Claudette as it relies on her demonic nature. Claudette sprouts a large pair of butterfly wings that are seemingly made of blood and fire, granting her the ability of flight. Her wings can be solidified into deadly sharp crystals and used as melee weapons or a shield, but doing so drastically reduces her speed when flying.
Claudette’s wings aren’t the only ability her demonic side grants her. Claudette’s visual senses are able to be greatly increased, to the point where she can sense magical presences over great distances. This combined with her ability to fly makes her a very useful aerial scout.
Spells
Magical Sight: When activated, Claudette’s eyes go entirely black, except for the iris’ which turn a dark crimson in colour. Black veins begin to stretch across her temples from her eyes, giving her a terrifying appearance. Claudette can accurately sense the presence of mages over great distances whilst her Magical Sight is activated. Prolonged use can lead to headaches and nausea.
Dark Flight: Claudette’s wings grant her the ability to fly. This is less of a spell, and more so just a natural ability that she possesses. Her wings are part of her body, and like any muscle if she flies for too long she will grow tired.
Tailwind: Claudette uses a burst of power to send her flying in any direction at high speeds. If used for take-off, a large gust of wind sends anyone too close to her tumbling away. Tailwind can still be used during Midnight Waltz, but the distance travelled isn’t as grand.
Midnight Waltz: Claudette wings become hard as crystal, frayed into hundreds of deadly sharp shards which she can damage foes with by dancing around in a series of slashes with her wings. Claudette can still fly, but her aerial movement and speed is drastically decreased to more of a slow hover than actual flight. There is a slight delay between activating and de-activating Midnight Waltz.
Midnight Rain: Claudette can rapidly fire tiny shards from her wings as projectiles, able to barrage foes from above with a deadly rain of shards. She can also fire larger shards at a slower pace as javelins.
Dark Orb: Gathering dark energy in her wings, Claudette can fire a volatile orb of darkness with a large beat of her wings. Erupts on impact. Claudette is still learning to gather and release dark energies; as such Dark Orb is the only spell she knows using such a technique.
A simple, military grade switchblade that Claudette stole from a man sleeping on his porch. The initials L.P. are engraved into the wooden handle.
Secondary Weapon
Bare Fists
Description
Since Claudette fights so close to her opponents with her wings, it's not uncommon for her to throw in some punches and kicks. Preferring not to use her magic unless absolutely necessary, she is quite a skilled bare handed fighter.
Tools
Flashlight: Small flashlight that can be easily attached to Claudette's shirt. Bandages: Handy bandages for a quick patch up. No substitute for proper medical attention.
Haven, located in the north-east of the continent.

Biography
Marie and Joel Descoteaux were a happy young couple who had tragically lost their child due to a premature birth. The stillborn child filled their hearts with sorrow, especially when they received news that it was unlikely that Marie would ever be able to conceive a healthy child. Marie fell into depression, eventually resulting in a sinister entity being draw to her negativity.
After the Demon made contact with Marie, it promised her a child of her very own. Eager to accept, Marie was impregnated with a hellish power that grew inside of her as a child that was both human and demon. Claudette's birth filled Marie with joy, but Joel couldn't bare to look at the demonic child; knowing the means that his wife had gone to to bring her into this world. Eventually succumbed by despair, Joel took his own life.
Marie was apathetic to the death of her husband, her mind and body consumed with love for Claudette. She kept the young child cloistered, hidden away from the rest of the world because she did not wish to share her. Though the young Claudette would eventually develop a curiosity of the world around her. One day when she was six, Claudette managed to sneak out of the house to go and play in the forest. There she found many other kids, who gladly invited her to join their game. Of course, not knowing how to socialise properly or how her natural form would be perceived; Claudette spread her demon wings. Frightened by the sudden dark presence, the children fled in fear. That night, the townspeople approached Claudette's home and set it alight with flame. Marie did not survive, sacrificing everything she had to get Claudette away safely.
Claudette flew away into the night, shaken by the loss of her mother and home. A young six year old had no way of surviving on her own, but fortune smiled upon Claudette one evening as she passed out from hunger in the barn of an old farm in the country. The farmer's wife found Claudette, malnourished and on the brink of death. The elderly couple nursed her back to health and gave her a home on the farm. Claudette was hesitant about using her powers around them, but eventually she would have no choice when she witnessed the farmer slip off the roof of the barn while trying to patch it up. Without thinking, Claudette flew up and caught him before he hit the ground. She was expecting the same reaction that the children had, but was instead met with gratitude and adoration.
Claudette spent a few years on the farm, continuing to grow her powers with her foster parents support. As she matured she was able to tell that they could sense the dark presence within her, but that didn't stop them from taking care of her. Whether it was out of love or obligation, Claudette didn't mind. She had a home; that was all that mattered. Though even that wouldn't last. News of the demon child spread, eventually reaching the ears of Demon Hunters. Her first encounter with a hunter was at the age of twelve. The amateur hunter was hoping to score an easy first kill on a weak half-demon. Claudette didn't want to fight, but memories of her mother dying at the hands of those who wishes to destroy her ignited a fire in her eyes. The two battled, eventually leading to Claudette knocking the hunter unconscious. She told the farmer and his wife that they needed to go as far away as they could before yet again running away from her home.
Over the following years, Claudette would encounter many Demon Hunters. She eventually got better at making herself scarce, but this also caused a dramatic shift in her personality. She was now cold and heartless, always fearful of who might be awaiting her behind every corner. A hunter named Orlando Von Schnee played a large part in her fears. The ruthless hunter had been stalking Claudette for over a year. He did not hesitate to kill anyone who may have had contact with her, using the name of God as a means to justify his heinous acts. Claudette quickly learnt that the less people she involved herself with, the better. Though ultimately, she would make her greatest mistake at the age of fifteen. Tired from a long journey, Claudette let her guard down and accepted an offer to stay with a kind single mother with three beautiful young children. She thought one night couldn't hurt. Claudette woke that night to an unsettling presence; or rather the lack of any presence except one very familiar, sickening person.
Rushing downstairs, Claudette witnessed the horrific scene before her. The brief rest she had taken was enough time for Orlando to track her down. He had mercilessly murdered the kind mother who took her in as well as her three children. Claudette felt something that she had never experienced before; unyielding hatred and rage. It was a sickening emotion, one that resonated so well with her demonic soul that it made her sick. Refusing to run anymore, Claudette and Orlando met in battle. Orlando was a skilled mage, but Claudette's unbridled fury gave her a voracious persistence when fighting him. It was so intense that he eventually become overwhelmed and was brought down to the ground by her. Viciously, Claudette tore him to ribbons while screaming vulgarities and cursing all Demon Hunters who thought they had the right to decide whether or not she was allowed to exist.
As the authorities approached the scene, Claudette snapped out of her inhuman rage and did the one thing she was good at; run away. Claudette assumed a fake name and kept to herself from then on. She wouldn't allow anyone else to become close to her, for she had resigned herself to being a curse upon the world. She was a curse who brought death to anyone unfortunate enough to encounter her. Eventually her travels would lead her to Luna Crescente, where she plans to join Golem's Hand as a means to earning a living where she can be completely dependent on herself.
It might be too early for some of you, but I'm Australian so here's me saying Merry Christmas to you all!
And what better way to spend Christmas than writing up my second character! (We just had a family lunch and I don't have much else to do until the evening when the extended family comes over for dinner).
I've scrapped the idea for this character several times but I've finally decided what I'm going with. I might have it done today if there aren't too many interruptions from Bandit.
