And I have done some polish work on my CS, no real changes just more fluff and better descriptions here and there, plus actual appearance descriptions.
[Mention=@Flamelord] That is not a face of mercy or remorse, that is how I hate it.
@Landaus Five-One You say that, But Laat'AlOfan Might have issues with you Owning a family for several generations depends on the internal politics of that situation.
@Rune_Alchemist Yes she is a paragon of sanity and stability, Witch is why she made a deal with lesser devils and follows around a mercenary like a puppy all the whilst summoning the souls of the dead to do her bidding. Nothing bizarre about that at all.
EDIT: @canaryrose You weapon and uniform also modify your stats, plus you get some "coins" to tweak things as well
@Ariamis Yes she is, I got a bit fancy with the discriptions
+Magical Overload-: Half a blessing, Granted to only one of Laat’AlOfan’s girls, dubbed his Chosen, it grants His Chosen with greater Physical might at the cost of overt magical skill(Redirected Magic), and the radiance of a multifaceted soul(Second specialization).
-Monstrous Form+: Half a curse, this is the cost of being His Chosen, A body that reflects a twisted mockery of its soul(None standard limbs), and the unending urge to rip and tear(Destroyer). A need as real as food or water, grafted permanently to His Chosen’s mind.
Name: Penny Asimov, Laat’AlOfan’s Chosen, The Gray Lady
Age (Magical Girl): 16
Age (Before Magical Girl): 29
Gender: Female
Gender (Before Magical Girl): Male
Hidden: While Penny is in her human form She appears as a very well developed young woman, She stands at a respectable 5'9" and looks deceptively frail. She has short hair which the color is some where between a faint pink, and a light gray depending on the light. Her eyes are a light magenta color. She prefers baggy clothes that hide her physique, but tends to underestimate her assets. That coupled with her low income and Rites she must follow means she deals with botched purchases rather then go shopping for more.
Default: Penny as she truly is is a seamless mix of human and machine. Her hair has begun loosing color, the roots have become a matte gray seems more like fiber optic wire than true hair. Most of body has extremely obvious metallic plates grafted to it, with every major set of joints, discounting the fingers, replaced with mechanics. Her eyes begin to shift between all the colors of the visible spectrum, sans red which bleeds in as Penny becomes more and more stressed. while in this form there is a constant hum coming from Penny, quiet but unmistakable as machinery.
Engine of Destruction: All traces of humanity temporalliy flee from Penny as her body become little more then living lightning and metal. The core of her body is still discernible as it retains a passing resemblance of her human from, though lacking a face beyond two gleaming red dots for eyes, devoid of any true emotion. Her limbs become disconnect slabs of metal held in place through a mix of magic and magnetism, that change shape according to thought. in addition all color drains from her body leaving her a light gray, with darker gray plates inter mixed though out. All the while an ominous red light bleed through the the cracks.
Gifted Specializations: Metal & Lightning, the heralds of the modern age, these are the aspects that Penny's soul best reflect. Thus they have become her prison. She has little capability for the casting of magic, but her body has been rebuilt with what her soul flourishes with; A body of steel, with blood of lightning. The best she can do is simple telekinetic cantrips, but being of the same stuff as her specializations does give her some unique opportunities when it comes to magical flair, but all of them will be focused inwards due to her lack of overt power.
The insight to machines that comes with the instinct of metal helps in day to day situations, and she is always a bit quicker than expected due to the lightning in her veins.
Weapons: Due to that changes that have been forced upon Penny her whole body has become a weapon, In addition to simple unarmed strikes, she can project energy blades from various parts of her body(Hands,Feet,Knees,Elbows) to devastating effect. Despite the simplicity of her modes of attack, they were granted by a being of destructive force, thus they carry surprising amount of force behind even simple attacks.
.:Powers:.
Regeneration: Things breaking down in inevitable, it is in how quickly they can be put back together that is important. As a Valued resource Laat'AlOfan see to it that Penny is never far from her top condition.
Razing Avalon (Killing Blow): The one true spell that Penny has, a physical blow designed to rend the Walls of Avalon if needed. It will be quite some time before Penny has that capacity to do such however; In the meantime it is still a strike to be wary of.
.:Perks:.
Closure: The life Penny had before is gone, the touch of Laat’Al’Ofan has cleansed all traces of it away. She has no need to hide what has happened as there is no one left who knew her. She has seen her own tombstone and put to rest the life she used to have as best she can.
Martial training: There are many way to break things, so very many ways. This is a precious first gift given by Laat’AlOfan, proper instruction in how to properly break other people. It is imprinted deeply enough that the skill remain regardless of which state Penny is in.
Enhanced Sustenance: Due to being the Chosen of Laat’AlOfan Penny no longer requires much upkeep. A handful of hours for sleep and nearly everything is a source of nutrients if she needs it. Even breathing has become obsolete, though habits are hard to break with that one.
Enhanced UniForm: Her new body was crafted by a God of Destruction, For that it had to be resilient, as Laat'AlOfan is not gentle. It was built with the intention of being a tool of destruction, which would work ceaselessly, thus He strove to make it perfect. So despite Penny's soft appearance her body can withstand great punishment.
Monstrous Metamorphoses: In times of great stress, part of what makes Penny, Penny, will slip away drowned out by the urge to rend and shear. In time like these she becomes nothing but an engine of destruction. Thankfully these times are short, but they always leave an impact on the world around her.
Patron: Laat'AlOfan
+Clergy+: The Rites of AlOfan are simple things as destruction is a simple thing. That being said, His Rites are varied, and most commonly seen as demolition projects. Thus his clerics are proficient in all manner of official, and unofficial, demolition practices.
+Paragon+: Destruction is not an easy task; those that have been drafted for it are blessed to both deal it with greater capability and the resilience to resist being destroyed in turn.
+Physical Prowess+: Some are blessed with more than others; Penny is blessed with even more resilience then normal
+Supplier+: Not all destruction is produced on a whim, sometimes planning is needed, and when one plans they will often need supplies to carry out said plan. Laat'AlOfan is always willing to help those that seek to break that which is established, and will endeavor to see that the tools of destruction that they need but don’t have, will soon find its way in to their hands.
-Rites-: There are many rites that Laat'AlOfan can claim as his own. In truth every act of destruction is a Rite of his. That being said there are a few specific rites that He demands be followed. The First: Break quickly: You must seek to break your Fast within a hour of waking. The Second: Embrace new growth: Nothing owned maybe older than four seasons. The Third: Remember the task: You must seek out something to destroy at least once a Moon cycle. The Last: Roots must never last: No home may be kept longer than two seasons.
-Loud-: If Laat decides to talk with Penny for any reason, it’s going to be heard. Even when he is supposedly whispering it come across as a booming yell that shatters any silence that might be in the area.
-Unknown-: This is something of a mixed bag for Penny as while her enemies won’t know anything about her God and how to deal with him, neither will her allies or potential allies. Plus it is somewhat odd to curse using what people assume is a made up name when you get angry.
Gifted for her status as Chosen:
+Magical Overload-: Half a blessing, Granted to only one of Laat’AlOfan’s girls, dubbed his Chosen, it grants His Chosen with greater Physical might at the cost of overt magical skill, and the radiance of a multifaceted soul.
-Monstrous Form+: Half a curse, this is the cost of being His Chosen, A body that reflects a twisted mockery of its soul, and the unending urge to rip and tear. A need as real as food or water, grafted permanently to His Chosen’s mind.
Fighting Style: Penny's fighting style is a very controlled, if improvisational unarmed style, which degrades to unreasoning brutality as she nears becoming a full Engine of Destruction, her magical talent is laughably weak as she has been rebuilt for the purpose of physically destroying that which stands in her way. she will use Lighting to draw power from power lines and such to get her strength back quickly and small telekinetic control over metal to pull useful objects to her if needed.
For the most part she is a defensive Fighter, counters and parries are her main courses of actions. Unless she has fully lost at witch point she switches to unrelenting assault. The main similarity is her willingness to use any and everything on hand as a weapon if needed.
Personality: Kind and altruistic, Penny always tries to look on the bright side of things and is always willing to help out those she can. Seemingly naive, She is always trusting of people at first meeting. Though that come more from her ability to take care of herself than of lack of judgement.
Unafraid and out going she will be the first to introduce herself and to try and make friends. That beings said she is woefully unprepared for the life she must now lead, and is very hesitant to talk about who she used to be. She can at time come off as conflicted and uncomfortable in her own skin, which is true for a variety of reasons. She has a good deal of empathy for those that have had their lives radically altered.
History: Few people, if any, are willingly inducted to carry out Laat'AlOfan’s will. Penny is no different. Back when ‘She’ was ‘He’ it was a simple case of wrong place wrong time. The Girl that Penny has replaced, like many before her, found a way to slip out from Laat's grasp, and chose to do such in defiance of the destructive God.
Were it at a different time, Jason would have kept his normal life; He worked as a Computer Engineer, tasked with developing and building new hardware and software. It was a simple life with no great appeal beyond the fact that it was his.
But it was a crucial time, and 'AlOfan rarely asks for permission from those he chooses to aid him, He sought the closest person who soul resonated with his intention and acted. Penny doesn’t recall her first night as chosen, and that does worry her.
Incantation: "Limiters released and Systems are green. Circuits Charged and Steel Sharpened I Stand Ready for Action!"
Additional Info - Original name: Jason Oliver Prefers to stay in human form as much as possible. Hasn’t full adjusted to the Gender Switch that has happened. Is somewhat inexperienced at the whole Magical girl thing, As Her appointment as chosen only happened around 6 months ago. and she has spent that time getting her life in order
Type: Deity
Name: Laat'AlOfan, Enforcer of change, He Who Brushes Away the Old, The Unmaker
Patron Benefits:
Clergy: Laat doesn't request much, as destruction is a simple thing, but their are a plethora of different ways to go about fulfilling destruction. He makes sure his followers know about all of them.
Paragon: Laat is selective in who he chooses to draft to his cause, because of this he can augment them with a touch of his power, thus insureing all who follow his banner will be of greater stock then their opposition.
Physical Prowess: Every one has a trait that they prefer, Laat makes sure to emphasis this trait.
Supplier: Not all destruction is produced on a whim, sometimes planning is needed, and when one plans they will often need supplies to carry out said plan. Laat'AlOfan is always willing to help those that seek to break that which is established, and will endeavor to see that the tools of destruction that they need but don’t have, will soon find its way in to their hands.
Patron Drawbacks:
Loud: He doesn't speak often but when he does everyone will hear it, and likely several something’s will likely be broken because of it.
Rites: There are many rites that Laat'AlOfan can claim as his own. In truth every act of destruction is a rite of his. That being said there are a few specific rites that He demands be followed. The First: Break quickly: You must seek to break your Fast within an hour of waking. The Second: Embrace new growth: Nothing owned maybe older than four seasons. The Third: Remember the task: You must seek out something to destroy at least once a Moon cycle. The Last: Roots must never last: No home may be kept longer than two seasons. The Hidden: Everything breaks: This rite he keeps to himself, letting his Girls discover it for themselves; The rites need not be followed at all times. Only one rite need be held true per year, but it can't be the same one consecutively.
Unknown: He has no true followers, as any religion that lasted for any significant age He would destroy as building things that last is directly opposed to his task. Thus very few have heard of him, and even then what knowledge they have is limited.
Gifted to only his Chosen:
+Magical Overload-: Half a blessing, Granted to only one of Laat’AlOfan’s girls, dubbed his Chosen, it grants His Chosen with greater Physical might at the cost of overt magical skill, and the radiance of a multifaceted soul.
-Monstrous Form+: Half a curse, this is the cost of being His Chosen, A body that reflects a twisted mockery of its soul, and the unending urge to rip and tear. A need as real as food or water, grafted permanently to His Chosen’s mind.
Personality: Laat is a being of action, a bringer of Chaos. Tasked with destroying that which has passed, he quietly fulfills his mandate. Bringing about the ruination of things that are old or no longer needed nor wanted, His is a thankless task, though important one.
He is measured is his actions however, He does not seek unending destruction. Only to brush away stagnation and force new growth to take the place of what once was, Creation and Destruction as two parts of a whole, and Laat'Alofan is Content to be the one who breaks so that others can create.
It is this that drives him to strike both at the Light and the Dark. The Light, as it tends to cling on to its past glories and in doing so forces it to keep growing, the Dark because it often seeks to burn everything to ash and leave it as such, and with continued failure it must learn new ways to complete it goals. Thus Laat'AlOfan is firmly between them both, neither fully an ally nor fully an enemy, but forever requiring innovation and removing the woks that came before.
History: What history there is of Laat’AlOfan is kept by Laat’AlOfan himself. It is not in his nature to let things last. Thus in an effort to fulfill his nature he withholds his own history so one day, when He is no longer needed He will have already removed any trace of his passing, and thus will have already destroyed himself as it were.
Resources: Laat'AlOfan As old and powerful as he may be, knows that he cannot always fulfill his task by himself. To aid in his efforts He drafts the aid of Magical Girls, six he chooses as rank and file soldiers to seek and destroy aging monsters and to combat those of the dark that have taken a deeper Root.
One monster answers to His call, a titanic beast that's sole purpose is wide spread, unrepentant destruction. It is a last resort, used when all other attempts have failed for once His beast has been set loose, very few things can stop it before it has ravaged everything in its sight.
And lastly there is his Chosen, A Magical Girl, twisted by his power and gifted great power in return. They are his greatest warrior. Destruction is in their blood, gifted with the skills, knowledge and capabilities of both Man and Monster. They are used both as a scalpel to cleanly and precisely strike out those that have taken deep root in new growth, and as unrestrained bombs to wipe clean vast swaths at once as needed by his will.
Payment for services rendered are rarely things of permanence, Coin both mundane and magical is the most common as it allows his follows to replace their old gear and supplies as needed by his tenets, though if not spent soon the rewards have a way of being lost. Occasionally he will bestow a Boon either with a Tool of some sort that will reforge its self every month in to something new, Or with a single use magical item, often destructive in nature but not always. Lastly and only in extreme circumstances he will give the gift of freedom and allow one of his follows to truly die releasing them from their bonds of servitude. It is a gift he wishes he could give more freely, but knows that few would choose to stay if given the choice.
