Karstberg, City of Adventure: Freeform Fantasy City RP

Cass was tired.

It occurred to her for probably the dozenth time today that the city was too full of new experiences. This, she was quite confident, was a very unfortunate sort of problem. The suburbs had been boring, of course, but at least she hadn't been bored and in danger; here, now, to her, 'new' almost always meant 'unpleasant'. Or dangerous. Or, just, like, weird.

Take the beastkin hugging the pamphleteer in the street over there. Was that normal? Hell if she knew. All she knew, trodding her way downtown while rubbing her temples and sighing dramatically, was that she was in desperate need of a few things, and she adamantly refused to let this barbaric urban circus distract her. She looked up from the cobbled road long enough to physically outline with one finger that horrible Bulletin List of Dire Necessities, which okay actually boiled down to pretty much the one thing: money.

She brightened considerably. Thinking about it like that, what's even the problem? She was (basically! kinda sorta) a college student. Money was always an issue; that, at least, was nothing new, she could live with that, she was a pro, she's got this, seriously, come on, seriously, well okay, maybe not, stop thinking about this, stop it, think about something cool so cool

Magic. She needed to work on that. Okay, didn't need to, probably shouldn't, certainly would. Anyway, all she needed for the next test she'd had planned was something small, light, aerodynamic ...

"Sorry for interrupting your public display of - whatever this is, guys," she shrugged, tapping whatever she could reach of the human under her beastkin hugtacker, not a hit on apology in her face, "but it would be absolutely ship-shape terrific if I could have a bunch of those pamphlets you've got there."

I should note that if this does happen, I'll have spotty internet for most/all of next week. Vacation, whoops! >.> I'll try my best, though.

Karstberg, City of Adventure: Freeform Fantasy City RP Interest Check and Signups

Name: Cassandra Clearwater

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Race: Human

Appearance: Short, messy black hair that always, inexplicably, makes her look like she just woke up 10 minutes ago (she probably did). Her eyes have mastered that "mild hangover" gaze, which is probably the only thing she mastered at university. She wears a huge, brown-and-red patterned poncho, which does absolutely nothing to cover up all the belts/pouches/fanny packs with which she carries a bunch of very sharp (and very cheap-looking) crap. Even the broadsword (err, most of it) is sheathed beneath the ragged fabric. Note that most of that crap isn't battle-worthy, or necessarily supposed to be used for battle, although those are two very distinct categories in Cass's mind. Most of it is scrapmetal or junk she's trying to pawn off.

Profession: Peddler. Claims that she'll be the first theoretical magicist in the world, once it realizes how totally great that would be.

Personality: Normally she's the obnoxious, standoffish deadpan snarker one would expect a disgruntled college student to be. She throws that all out the window the second there's something interesting to talk or fight about, though. She's an investigator at heart - if she doesn't understand something, she'll make sure to fix that.

Equipment/Weapons: Obviously she's got the broadsword, which is (a) very lethal and (b) very heavy. She's not very good with it; she's a skinny, nerdy college student. But she can swing it around and stuff, I dunno, leave her alone. She's got a couple of metal scraps that work well as knives, and also a few real knives, because the only thing better than an inventory of crap it's an inventory of crap ... that protects itself. She also louts around a duffel-bag for anything she finds that is actually worth their weight, like mechanical parts and rarer materials, which in a pinch she can always just throw at someone.

Abilities: Magic. Mostly. See below.

Brief Backstory: Book smart, street dumb. Went to a magical university in the suburbs. Got kicked out a semester later, somewhat because she didn't care about most classes but also because of an unfortunate casserole incident. She was (is) also terrible at magic, that was part of it. Good at the theory, bad at the actual use.

She's trying to scrape out a living peddling in the streets now, which has helped with the "street dumb" aspect a little bit. Her focal interest, however, remains on magic. She's figured out how to get it to work for her.

In theory.

Magic Name: Velocity Magic

Magic Description: So, when a magician, say, lobs a fireball. There's the actual summoning of the fire, but then there's the actual "move over there and crisp that guy" step. Cass can't do the first bit for crap (not consistently - or safely, at least). But she's figuring out how to only do the second bit instead, effectively creating a magical propulsion system. You know how in Mario Kart there are little rainbow triangles that inexplicably make your kart go faster? She makes those. She's a Boost Mage.

The actual rune created on the ground (which, yes, pretty much looks like a triangle) affects a certain space above it; the size of the space and how much force it creates depends on the ability of the caster. As of now, Cass can shoot objects of up to 150 lbs about ten-fifteen yards at pretty decent speeds (say 40 mph for the smaller stuff).

Eventually, it should be theoretically possible to create a rune that effects whatever it is put on (at least, until the magic wears out). Cass is still working on that.
