Supers!

Looks like there's a good amount of people already. If there's room for one more, count me in!

Aria's head turned as another girl's voice came. She gave the girl a soft smile and a nod; she wouldn't admit it, but the sight of her actually brought some relief. If she'd been the only one to show up, that would pose some rather serious problems. But before she could say anything, yet another girl showed up. It was a bit strange, but Aria could swear it got just a bit colder when she arrived. Still, she seemed lively enough, which Aria supposed was a good thing. From behind her, Aria could hear footsteps; soon after, a woman (at least, from what she presumed) fully clad in armor appeared. Something about her was just a bit unnerving; perhaps it was the fact that her face was hidden. Next up was a rather brutish looking man who towered over the rest of them. Aria almost felt intimidated just at the sight of him, until he opened his mouth. The embarrassed tone with which he spoke indicated to her that perhaps his personality was a bit softer than his appearance.

"No," she responded, her voice gentle. "We all just got here, actually,"

Finally, another young man approached the group, before settling on the outside of the little ring they'd formed. Something about the reluctance in his mannerisms-the weak wave, the crossed arms-made Aria wonder if, perhaps, he didn't want to be here. Still, he voiced a valid concern: if this was all of them, or even most of them, they had a lot of work to do. At that moment, Zane spoke up, causing Aria to turn her attention to him. The passion in his voice stirred something deep down in the young woman; she found herself straightening her shoulders, and a determined expression made its way onto her face. Power...was that all that stood between them and retaking their home? They might be a small group, but Catamount was spread out all over the island. If they could retake even one small village, maybe they would stand a chance.

At the mention of her name, Aria perked up and pushed her hood off her face. She gave a small, sweet smile to the group, though she stayed quiet. Her eyes traveled to the other members of the group, silently noting each of their names; she didn't want to forget any, of course. One person, however, stood out to her the most: Holly Vertila. Upon hearing that the woman belonged to the second group, Aria's eyes widened just a bit.

If she was in the second group, maybe she knew Wallace.

But that could wait. Aria looked back up at Zane, a soft smile on her face. He had a way with words, that was certain; he'd also done a decent job of introducing everyone, though she figured she'd need to get to know them on her own time as well. At the very least, Zane made her feel like they had a chance. Of course, if they failed, they'd all be publicly executed; but if this was to be a new family for her, then she'd need to believe in all of them. Especially Zane. Putting their little group together couldn't have been easy, but he seemed confident enough in them. There was something about that that Aria could respect.

As his speech ended, Aria clapped for a few seconds until the Fog Magic girl-Helena?-stepped forward to receive her guild mark. Aria took the chance to collect herself, before approaching Holly with a few determined steps. In truth, she wasn't sure what to ask, or even what to say, but she just needed to know. As she stood before her, Aria uncrossed her arms and met Holly's eyes (all she could see beneath her helmet), and gave her a polite smile.

"Holly, right?" she spoke. "I was just wondering if you...perhaps know somebody in the second group. His name is Wallace? Tall, sharp features, pink hair and pink eyes? He uses Requip Magic." Aria didn't explicitly mention he was her brother, but she figured that, if Holly did know him, it'd be pretty obvious. She and Wallace looked very much alike.

Aria Serotina looked up at the night sky, surprised at how clear it was. The stars shone bright above her, giving her at least some natural light to guide her way. She'd been through this forest plenty, given how close by she lived. She'd even gone looking for her brother a few times, but the Forest Vulcans presented enough of a danger to deter her. Still, she at least knew her way around. The cold was a different matter; all Aria had on was her dancer's clothes and a dark green cloak. She didn't exactly have much time to change, given how late into the night she had to work. Truth be told, she was completely exhausted. At this point, she was usually fast asleep in her bed after hours of nonstop singing and dancing; but this was important to her.

A small sigh escaped the girl's lips as she walked. She could feel worry start to creep in her mind, as it always did. What if no one showed up? What if this little guild of theirs was caught? Surely, if it was, they'd all be killed. Or worse. Maybe they'd all get thrown into battle against the Forest Vulcans. At least she'd see Wallace again. Aria closed her eyes for a moment, thinking of her brother's face. She focused on the curve of his jaw, and the angle of his nose. She didn't want to forget what he looked like after all this time had passed. She wondered if he looked much different now, older and battle-hardened. It'd been so long since she'd seen him, and the last time she did, he...

Aria shoved the thought from her mind as she came across a young man sitting on a rock. She paused, eyeing him for a moment, before realizing it was only Zane. She brushed herself off, swept a few stray strands of hair out of her face, and then stepped toward him. "Hi," she said, keeping her voice quiet. "Am I the first to arrive, or...?"

Aria Serotina

Bio:

Name: Aria Serotina
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Sexuality: Bisexual

Personality:

Aria Serotina is a young woman who simply aims to please. With a sweet smile and a pretty face, she often makes a good first impression on people. Her kind, soft-spoken demeanor gives her a sort of trustworthy air; while this trust wouldn't necessarily be misplaced, Aria herself is rather secretive. She prefers to listen rather than speak, and tends to keep her thoughts to herself. However, Aria will speak her mind if she feels it's necessary, and certainly isn't one to be pushed around. Still, she very clearly cares for her friends and family, always putting the needs of others before her own.

Over the years-more out of necessity than genuine immorality-Aria has developed a talent for manipulating others. She finds it rather easy to read people, and as such can usually tell them what they want to hear in order to fulfill her own desires. Of course, she wouldn't use this against those she cares about; however, it isn't always something she's conscious of. On occasion, Aria can come off as rather cynical, reluctant to believe in the good intentions of others. For a performer, she's rather introverted, preferring smaller groups to large crowds. And while she doesn't seem the type, Aria secretly cares a great deal for her appearance, especially around those she knows personally.

Likes:
•Music. Singing and dancing are Aria’s two greatest passions in life; music is what brings her joy. It is also the means through which she
uses magic, making it even more meaningful to her.

•Performing. Aria loves putting her skills to the test in front of crowds; ever since she was a little girl, she's put on shows for anyone
who will listen. As she got older, it became her livelihood.

•Learning. Whether it's studying magic or music, Aria enjoys the process of learning. She constantly strives to improve, and dedicates a
great deal of time to learning new songs and dance routines.

Dislikes:
•Being touched without her permission. Given her line of work, Aria has had to ward off unwanted advances for years. She doesn't mind
physical contact, but sudden or inappropriate grabs anger her greatly.

•Overbearing or nosy people. Aria is a secretive girl who also very much enjoys her space. She's comfortable on her own; people who try to
intrude or otherwise burden her get irritating fast.

•Drinking/alcohol in general. Years of working in a tavern has exposed Aria to the less fun sides of drinking: aggression, infidelity, and
sickness to name a few. As a result, she largely avoids drinking.

Goal:
Aria's ultimate goal is to free her brother from Catamount's slavery. She despises the fact that he-along with so many others-was forced into compulsory military service for a group of tyrants and murderers. If this means the total destruction of Catamount, then so be it.

Fear:
Aria's greatest fear is that her brother will die fighting the Forest Vulcans. His safety is what motivates her to get up in the morning, what keeps her going each and every day. His death would be the end of her.

How/Why she joined White Gull:
Aria's something of a local celebrity on the south side of Kaia. Her talent as a singer and dancer made her fairly well-known to those in her small hometown, especially after she began performing for a living. These days, however, most of her audience is made up of piggish Catamount guild members. Her proximity to them made her a worthwhile target to Zane, who she surprisingly entrusted her status as a mage to. Aria believes that White Gull has a genuine chance at freeing all of Kaia from Catamount, and desperately wants to be a part of the dark guild's downfall. She also believes she's in a good position to help White Gull, given her access to some of Catamount's mages.

Location/Color of guild mark:
Aria's guild mark is a soft pink color, located on her upper left thigh.

Magic Type: Performance Magic
Performance Magic is a type of Caster Magic that is an offshoot of both Sound Magic and Dancer Magic. Performance Magic revolves around the use of song and dance as a medium for spellcasting; the user performs various songs and dance routines that create different magical effects. The primary usage for Performance Magic is as a means of supporting one's allies, rather than damaging opponents. Performance Magic allows its user to increase their own fighting abilities, as well as nearby allies. However, it can also be used to hinder the abilities of foes at the user's discretion.

Spells:
•Lion's Roar: Performed with bold, aggressive steps and powerful vocals, Lion's Roar temporarily increases the strength of the user and their allies within a ten meter radius. Those under this spell will have increased physical strength, and the spells they cast will be slightly more powerful.

•Winged Winds: Performed with a light, airy tone and swift movements, Winged Winds temporarily increases the speed of the user and their allies within a ten meter radius. Those under its effects will be able to move faster, and any moving spells they cast (such as a projectile) will also be faster.

•Hushed Voices: Hushed Voices is sung in a low, sultry voice accompanied by sensuous motions. This spell temporarily makes any foe within a ten meter radius more suggestible. They are more easily persuaded by the user, and are also more likely to tell the truth when asked.

Catamount Group: Second (South Side)
Aria belongs to the second Catamount group. However, because she hides her magic and has no perceived fighting ability, she serves as "entertainment" for the Catamount mages that crowd the tavern she works in.

Family:
Aria has an older brother named Wallace, a mage who uses Requip Magic. Because he was so open about his magic use, Catamount now forces him to fight the Forest Vulcans. Aria and Wallace's parents were both mages who died fighting against Catamount when it first took over.

Background:
Aria Serotina grew up on the south side of Kaia, in a small port town on the coast. Her mother and father, both retired mages, gave her a peaceful and loving childhood along with her older brother. Aria and Wallace-four years apart in age-shared a deep love for magic that was fostered by their parents. Aria idolized her brother, who developed a sense of protectiveness over her. The two children learned to use magic from their doting parents; Wallace took after their father, and learned to use The Knight, a kind of Requip Magic. Aria, however, was less fond of direct combat and learned Performance Magic from her mother. Having loved music all her life-a passion that was inspired by her mother-Performance Magic seemed to be a good fit. However, magic was always more of a hobby to her than an actual discipline.

Around the age of 9, Aria began to put on little shows for her family. While her singing and dancing wasn't exactly great, she did show some talent. Through her practice of Performance Magic, Aria developed this talent into a genuine skill, becoming quite a good singer and dancer by the age of 13. Under the tutelage of her mother, she began to put on public performances, slowly bring in larger and larger crowds desperate for entertainment in an otherwise unremarkable town. However, it was at that point that the dark guild Catamount invaded Kaia; despite the protests of their children, Aria and Wallace's parents came out of retirement to try and fight off the invading guild. However, like most other mages who attempted to resist, they were slaughtered by Catamount. Wallace tried to protect them, but was far too young and inexperienced to stand up to the Catamount mages. Instead of killing Wallace, however, they made an example of him by publicly beating him to the point of unconsciousness. Not long after, he was sent off to fight the nearby Forest Vulcans.

Aria, now orphaned and separated from her brother, swore to free him from Catamount at any cost. However, she wasn't quite as reckless as him; she knew that showing off her magic was dangerous, as was openly resisting the dark guild. She also knew she needed some way to make a living, given how devastatingly alone she was. Thankfully, a kind man took pity on the young girl, and offered her a room at his tavern in exchange for menial work: serving food and drinks, wiping off tables, and locking up after closing. The tavern owner, an older man named Alvor, became something of a father figure to Aria. His tavern, The Red Stallion, was originally a popular location for locals, with quality drinks and live music, as well as lodging for travelers. After Catamount's invasion, however, mages from the dark guild-usually those who were involved with the fight against the Forest Vulcans-practically took the place over. Alvor, both aged and without magic, had no choice but to fulfill his service to Catamount by allowing them free reign over his small tavern.

After a couple years, most of The Red Stallion's talent acts were gone, forced into service elsewhere. Aria stepped up to provide entertainment for the tavern goers, bringing in extra revenue for Alvor in the process, while also fulfilling her service to Catamount. By the time she was 16, Aria had grown up to be rather pretty, and became something of a favorite among both the locals and the Catamount mages visiting the tavern. While Aria loved performing, the Catamount mages weren't exactly the kindest customers. She was frequently offered money for rather unsavory purposes; other times, they would simply demand sexual favors out of her. Still, Alvor always protected her in these events, and Aria learned to throw a punch when she needed to. This simply fueled her rage and hatred for Catamount, driving her to use her performances for ulterior purposes. One of her spells, Hushed Voices, was easily disguised as just another routine; however, it allowed her to make the Catamount mages much more easily persuaded. Combined with her looks, she slowly began extracting information out of the dark guild mages. Two years later, Aria has now honed this subterfuge into an art, easily manipulating the Catamount mages into giving away key knowledge of the guild's inner workings. She also uses this to keep tabs on Wallace, who she hasn't seen since Catamount's initial takeover.

Should I go ahead and post my CS here then? I just got it finished.

Fairy Tail Original Spin-off

Hi! I was wondering if I could make a character who's kind of like a bard? Her magic would revolve around singing and dancing to cast spells. These spells would aid her and her allies, but could also hinder opponents in different ways. In other words, she wouldn't be directly combat-oriented, but would instead serve a more supportive role.
