Got kind of carried away when writing in some places, sorry not sorry-
Name: Kyra Riwar
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Desire: "I want to become a strong warrior"
Faction: Selva
Rank/social standing: Warrior in training
Appearance: Kyra stands 6ft (180 cm) tall with a toned, athletic build. She has terracotta colored skin due to both the warm environment of Selva as well as spending the majority of her time outside, which is mostly due to her training. Her skin is dotted with freckles and has a birth mark dotted on her left cheekbone. Other identification marks on Kyra is that she has a number of scars through out her body, but most of them not too notable and their origin seeming to vary between slashing and plain miscellaneous. She has a square-ish face together with a hooked nose and orange eyes, which are somehow described to lit up whenever Kyra engages in a battle. She has curly, raw umber brown hair that is usually seen up in a ponytail. When her hair is down it reaches slightly past her shoulders.
Due to her rank as a warrior in training, Kyra isn't usually seen wearing anything else than the typical Selvan warrior outfit. When not wearing them for a reason or another she has honestly quite typical Selvan commoner clothes.
(I will draw her when I have the time to)
Personality: Kyra is a determined young lady who rarely gives up easily when she truly sets her mind to it. She is considered to be well mannered, knowing how she should address and talk to her elders and those in higher ranks than her. She has earned a considerable amount of respect around her with the other 'warriors to be', though some are jealous of her skill and commitment. She is incredibly loyal to the causes and people she trusts in. She is very hard working, which only has magnified after acquiring her brontea core.
Sadly she doesn't do much of anything outside of training, fighting, taking care of equipment and the usual chores on the Selva training grounds, so she usually ends up doing one of the previously mentioned tasks again/more and as a result doesn't have much of a social life. In a casual setting she is quite awkward and usually ends up kinda just standing there silently until she just slinks away to do something else (which is usually training related).
Tech: A short staff which can also turn to a whip
Kyra was born to, what would be considered in Selva at least, to the middle class. She had no siblings growing up and no father to mention of so it was mostly just her and her mother growing up. Young Kyra grew up idolizing the warriors of Selva and had the mindset of "only the strongest will succeed" drilled to her mind already then. Her mother wasn't anything to write home about, well she did provide food, a roof on top of her daughters head and other basic needs, but was never quite the loving mother that one might expect. She did however teach Kyra how to navigate the Selvan wilderness and what is forgeable as well as how to hunt since she was apart of one of the many hunter group of their village. It wasn't a glamorous job in the eyes of their community, but it brought food to the table and slightly some more.
Some time before Kyra turned 13 she expressed the interest of joining the Selvan warrior program, which her mother agreed to let her join (think of this as kind of knight training versus a common foot solider training), as unbeknownst to Kyra her mother allowed her on the basis that she could finally send away the child she never quite wanted. Her mother was never considered a gifted fighter or a warrior she felt the social pressure of bearing a child that would become one.
Some time after Kyra's 13th birthday and some help from her mother to train when she had time to with the little knowledge of combat she had, though Kyra definitively tried to train on her own to. They travelled together to the capital together with other women and their children, who wished to one day become one of the praised warriors in their country. Much like how other things are decided in Selva, the girls had to prove themselves through combat or through other displays of their combative skill. Kyra went with the first option, as she had no special skills she could show (honestly I might make a written work detailing this more or it be explained/told during the rp since the backstory was getting beefy if I included that here). When Kyra heard she'd been accepted, she was stunned to hear it. She was sure she failed, as she was beaten fairly in the exam. Twice. She pleaded for a second chance and had been given it she was beaten again. She would've begged for a third, but wasn't permitted it.. Somehow though, she was accepted.
Kyra took this as a sign to work hard to earn the chance she'd been given, to fulfill her want of becoming revered warrior. Immediately after she moved to the capital to be apart of her training she began to work hard, trying to push herself to do better each time. Her dedication was eventually noted by the higher ranked supervisors with one of the women, Eldar began to mentor the dedicated young lady. It wasn't that clear in the start, but Eldar seemed to clearly push Kyra harder than any of the other girls there. One might say to test her possible apprentice and how far she was willing to go. Kyra always accepted the challenge, clear that she wanted to prove herself capable and when she failed it only seemed to fuel her want to improve.
As time passed, Eldar was clearly putting a lot more effort and care into Kyra than in any of the other girls there. Even giving her her own weapon to use which was the whip with the ability to turn into a short staff and vice versa. Even with the harsh training, Kyra's mentor seemed to only add fuel to the fire with her rare words of encouragement and "tough love" style of mentoring and always trying to push Kyra a little more. After the warrior to be had found her brontea core, this has only intensified and Kyra clearly sees this as Eldar only wanting the best for her. Even if this has resulted in Kyra getting injured even with her new gift.
Brontea Bio
Appearance: An emerald style cut gem has inserted itself on Kyra's back. On the spine between her shoulder blades. The gem is teal and it seems to shift between more green tinted and blue depending on how the light reflects off of it.
Category: Internalization
Ability: Regeneration - Relates to how Kyra, even when beaten down, she still tries to get up no matter what due to her strong fear of failure.
(a quick explanation to how her power works) It takes energy and stamina to use her power and seeing that she didn't get her core too long ago this is still something Kyra needs to work on. Cuts and other similarly smaller injuries heal in seconds and won't leave a mark (usually), while any larger bodily harm takes longer and drains a lot more energy. An example of how Kyra's power works is that if she had ex. a finger cut clean off, she can't grow a new one to replace it and instead would need to place the limb back so the body can repair itself back.
It was only a while after Kyra had turned 19 and Eldar had called her to do some late training in the evening. In the young woman's mind it didn't seem like anything out of the ordinary and she just went along. After all she did not wish to disappoint her mentor.
When Kyra arrived to the agreed upon meeting place she was surprised to find out what her task was. To go out into the Selvan wilderness at dusk, almost night time and to go out there alone. While it wasn't an unheard practice to use the natural environment's of Selva as training grounds it was rare for it to be done at night, let alone to go out there alone.
Kyra was clearly unsure about this, but after some talk from Eldar, a few words of encouragement even, Kyra accepted the challenge. It was as simple as to go down to the ground and find a particular flower, but the young woman was well aware of the dangers lurking down bellow. Her weapon in hand and an extra scimitar for good measure and so Kyra began her track to find the wild flower in the jungle of Selva. She was careful with where she stepped, trying to be methodical with her search to try and find the flower as soon as possible. The wilderness was ruthless however. Dangers lurked at each turn. Poisonous and carnivorous plants, steep cliffs difficult terrain, not to mention the wildlife. Things seemed to go decently, considering Kyra's circumstances until the young woman stumbled upon a dangerous beast. The beast was clearly upset that she was trekking on it's territory, but Kyra she needed for her task. Her want to complete the task outshone her rational thinking and her plan was to take the flower before making her escape. It was far from easy as the beast large and strong and it could easily take her out if she wasn't careful. Kyra did her best to evade the thing's attacks, while putting up a fight, slowly circling towards the flower as the two fought and eventually she was close enough to grab it hastily. She made her escape, but was wounded and tired from the fight with the beast. It was a grueling escape as the beast chased behind her, but soon she was backed against a corner, or rather a cliff. Seeing that there was no other chance of escape than jump down into the river bellow and so Kyra jumped. She landed into the river relatively unharmed, but it was a difficult swim to the shore with the slight current combined with her gear she was wearing. The beast did not follow and it was nowhere to be seen when Kyra looked warily around. Looked like it was content with having her out of it's territory.
Examining her surroundings it looked like Kyra was safe for now, but she had lost where exactly she was in relation to the capital, but she had completed the first part of the task. Now she just needed to get back.. somehow. She was beaten and injured and the young tried to stand up but her body was exhausted from the earlier escape and instead she fell back down. She tried to mumble herself quietly things to motivate herself and it was then when she was struck with an odd sensation. It felt like something was calling her, but there was no voice calling her. Only way Kyra could describe it was the raw feeling of intuition that was telling her to go and exam the river shoreline. She put the crumpled and wet flower down as she followed her gut, going back to the water, turning over a heap of rocks until she found it. Tontrium. Well, Kyra didn't quite realize it at the time, but she reached out to it, the shining substance absorbed into her. An over whelming sense of revitalization as well as exhaustion took over her mind and she staggered backwards, at the brink of falling unconscious, but somehow had the strength inside of her to keep going. She did take a slight break to gather her thoughts of what happened. Was it just her exhausted mind playing tricks or was it a plant with hallucinogenic spore? After her brief rest she began her trek back to the training base and it was surprisingly less hectic, though Kyra had to still watch where exactly she was stepping. Eventually she returned to the treetops that she called home where Eldra waited, surprised that her apprentice seemed to be in better shape than what she expected, but it was clear that Kyra was beyond exhausted, almost ready to collapse when she returned. The warrior-to-be quickly got the help she needed, though many marveled that she had managed to survive the jungle of Selva without any further injuries. It didn't take long for Kyra to realize that she didn't return with only a flower in hand, as now she had a brontea core that had made it's home on her upper back.
Evolution: N/A as of now, but we'll see
Definitely still accepting! Glad you’re interestedHey, this looks interesting! If you're still accepting, I'll probably drop a character bio tonight. Haven't roleplayed in a while, but I'd like to give this a shot.
We’ll need to see a bio before making that decisionMay I have a spot?
@Mango137
Mostly Japan and Korea, and yep he’s totally available! Excited to see you you come up with!Just curious, what parts of Eastern Asia is Binazuma based off of? If the army general is not taken i'm planning on taking him but I need to come up with a name for him if he doesn't have one already. Thanks.
I'm getting from multiple sources that Discord is down for everyone right now. It's been several hours.Alright Discord is down for me
Yep as an extension ability!Alright Discord is down for me and I can't make questions, so I'll make em here until then. Would telekinesis be possible?
Definitely works for extension and that evolution would be perfect for affirmation. Glad to have a teammate at last!@Lich yeah xD it was pretty annoying.
Here is my character so far, let me know what changes she needs:
Name: Aya Ali
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Desire: To keep order
Faction: Makuini (born in Ramilahr) now it feels like I copied Mango but I wanted to make an Egyptian oc smh
Rank/social standing: None
Appearance: Too lazy, did a picrew.
Personality: Quiet, the silent type. She only interacts with those who she knows and tries to avoid conversation as much as possible with any stranger. She loves to collect interesting things, something with a good story behind it, an odd looking rock, a painting of an unknown artist, anything she might consider out of the ordinary. She loves to eat sweets, but that's because it keeps her from getting headaches.
Tech: Night vision goggles.
Backstory: Aya was born in the desert faction, Ramilahr. She was born a few hours away from the capital, a small town ran by thieves. Despite the leaders of such places having bad reputation, they were very protective of their people. The small town was called Rah, with the leader bearing the same name. Any stranger that got near it would be stripped of their belongings or worse if they put up a fight. The village managed by trade with the capital, anything valuable that was stolen was traded for food or medication for the small population in Rah. Aya is Rah's cousin. She got into collecting things thanks to the weird things she would find in Rah's home sometimes. This developed into the need to search for treasures, feeling the need to become a thieve herself.
One day Aya and her best friend Ramses, decided to sneak on board Rah's vehicle while he went out on a scavenger mission. The team made a short stop near an old city that had been buried under years of sand. Aya and Ramses snuck off, decided on finding treasure by entering through the roof of a skyscraper. Once inside they found a lot of things had been taken, except for some vases, that were lined up on top of a shelf. Believing they had scored big, the two began putting the antiques into a bag they had brought in, that's when the alarm had set off.
It turns out they had wondered into an abandoned museum. Once it detected the vases had been removed for a certain period of time, it began to lockdown the building. The two friends began to panic, Aya's asthma acting up as they placed the items back and the alarm kept going, giving of the warning that they needed to be in the same order as before. Unable to recall the order they were in, the two made a run for it, but the entrance from the roof was gone, the rope they had used had been removed somehow. They kept running, looking for a way, but to no results. With quick thinking, Aya tied an old chair to the rope and with the help of Rah, managed to use it as a hook as they threw out towards the same way they had came in. Unfortunately, the rope was shorter, Aya couldn't reach it. With time running out, Ramses put Aya on his shoulders, saying he was fast enough to catch up to her. With all her might and lack of oxygen, Aya climbed as fast as she could, with Ramses following under her. Aya made it out, but Ramses didn't. Fearing the worst, she began running through the desert, hoping to find help as soon as possible. She ran until she passed out from the lack of physical condition, the heat and her worn out lungs.
By the time Aya had woken up, a sandstorm had taken over. Lucky for her, her cousin had picked her up, finding her collapsed, and taken her back to Rah. But because of the sandstorm, they were unable to send a rescue team for Ramses. A few days went on, until finally Rah and a team went to rescue the young boy, only to find he had passed a few moments ago. It turns out some desert creatures had gotten to him first and fatally wounded him. The news broke Aya, had she paid attention to the order of the vases or had she been more athletic, they would've been able to escape. She saw herself as a failure, wishing to be able to take back the day she went out to search for treasure. One day though, Rah came home with a gift for Aya, that changed her life.
It was a light green stone with a dark center, making it look like some sort of eye. The stone turned out to be Brontea, which soon gave Aya her new abilities. With the desire to keep things organized in order to avoid disasters and be more capable of moving around, she gained telekinesis. Her brain became her strongest tool, allowing her to move whatever she wanted with just the thought of it. She practiced by arranging everything in town, store shelves, medication cabinets and even helping out at car shops. She was to be the great protector of her village, until she found out Rah's secret. He had been keeping a portion of his gains from missions, letting people starve, suffer in sickness or even made them disappear when they found out about his stash. Aya, feeling betrayed, left. She couldn't keep order in a place ran by someone like him. She fled to Makuini, where she hopes to start over and find a way to use her powers to keep order in the world.
Brontea Bio
Appearance: Light green with a dark green center.
Category: Extension?
Ability: Telekinesis. She has a strong need to keep things organized, in order. She believes if people arranged everything, they would have a better life and avoid unwanted accidents. Because of her weak physical and her asthma, her brain does the organizing for her. She can lift a lot of things, but the heavier they are the more difficult it becomes. She can flip over a car, but that requires a lot of concentration and it would probably drain her energy while doing so, therefore she relies on small things which she can hurl easily and dangerously fast.
How they found it: Backstory
Evolution: Not sure yet, maybe doing some sort of psychic blasts? Like just having an invisible force, allowing her to make protective force fields or psychic explosions.
Name: Baron Borstov
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Desire: "I wish to cleanse the world of those who would hurt my friends"
Faction: Exignis Empire
Rank/social standing: (Lowest rank in military)
Appearance: Baron has pale brown short curly hair. Fiery brown eyes, especially noticeable when he's angry. He's fairly tan stands at 5'8" ft. He has a squared jaw and a slightly crooked nose. He's of average size and fairly muscular.
He wears a tight lapis blue shirt with a loose walnut brown short sleeve hoodie on top with wavy white lines(Unzipped). He wears leather pants with tactical knee and elbow pads. He wears thick faded light browntimbswork boots with added protection on the bottoms of his shoes.
He has a necklace with waves roughly carves onto it that his father wore when he was a boy.
Personality: Baron is a very optimistic boy who wears his emotions on a sleeve. He's friendly and tries his hardest to look out for others. Baron wants to be able to see the best in everyone, and takes a lot of things very personally. When being overly optimistic proves to be a mistake, Baron takes this especially personal, which leaves him feeling spiteful and vengeful. He's oftentimes aware of this and oftentimes regrets his decision making when he's enraged even if her were in the right.
Tech: A pair of binoculars.
Backstory: Baron's father was a ranking soldier in the Exignis Empire. A man named Brahn. Brahn was a sergeant that was oftentimes ordered to lead small groups to attack key targets to weaken enemy forces and allow the Exignis Empire to conquer more territory. His mother was a school teacher who worked with small children. Her son Baron was one of those children.
Baron grew up in a small town not too far from the border of Forentville. He had friends and classmates who lived closer to the border. Baron saw the effects the mafia of Forentvilles had on innocent people, and hated it. Later on in Baron's life some of his friends would go on to be inspired to join the military. Baron's father despite being a sergeant didn't force Baron to join, but had spoke of the benefits of joining. Baron's friends taking up arms was the turning point that got him to finally join.
Baron spent years training. He was a bit slower than the others and had a hard time keeping up with the training drills as well as maintenance. On his own free time he'd train in a secluded valley. He often trained by himself, but sometimes he'd bring his friends over. One day Baron decided to relax. It wasn't a big deal. He could train twice as hard the next day. Baron was just hanging out with friends at one of their houses. Baron and his friends were on the second floor staring out a large window watching birds fly by. That and complaining about training drills.
Though their conversation was interrupted as they heard a loud crash and a scream. Sounded like it came from downstairs. A burglar or something here? Baron and the others look downstairs to see what it was. Baron was still at the top of the staircase so he didn't see the mobsters, but he saw the look on his friend's face and knew something was bad. It wasn't long before more screaming could be heard, and pretty soon there was fighting. Two of his friends quickly ran to where the fighting was. Baron knew he should help them, but this wasn't training. This was a real threat. Baron struggled to muster enough confidence to go downstairs and see what they were dealing with, but his legs wouldn't move.
He could hear fighting. When he heard one of his friends yell... Nothing. He still couldn't bare to move. It were as if his legs were frozen in place. A thud. A laugh. More yells. When Baron got down the stairs, one of his friends was obviously dead. A stab wound through his chest and he hit his head on a table. The scene was too realistic. Baron didn't know what he could do against these mobsters, but he was ready to fight.
It was a good thing some soldiers showed up. They managed to scare off the mobsters. They killed a few who fought back or attempted to flee The few that got away would be stopped by Titus himself. A rather quick end. Revenge did not heal the wound. A large scar still remained, but at least these people would not be hurting anyone else. Baron couldn't help but wonder if he could have been more helpful. Maybe if he came to his friends aide faster or if they had simply decided to train that day. He angrily punched the wall, then kicked up dust. Tripping and falling after loosing balance after his kick. He felt a sharp pain in his back. He rolled over, and pulled a rock off his back. It was shaped like a coral pink quatrefoil shaped rock. He rubbed his back, and after blinking he noticed the rock was no longer in his hand. He was confused but still had far too much on his mind to worry about a silly rock. He didn't know it at the time, but he now had a mark on his back where he landed on the rock. After this day, he would go on to take his training more seriously. Seeing this happen was something he took pretty serous. He still blamed himself for his failure that day, but decided he could make better decisions in the future, and learn from the past. Titus was the one that took out the mobsters. If there was anyone Baron had trust in, it was him.

Tech: A pair of binoculars.
Backstory: Baron's father was a ranking soldier in the Forentvilles army. A man named Brahn. Brahn was a sergeant that was oftentimes ordered to lead small groups to defend key targets to strengthen against the Exignis Empire. His mother was a nurse who tended to hurt soldiers. She would later on become a school teacher.
Baron grew up in a small town in Forentville. He had friends and classmates Who had friends or loved ones harassed by the various mobs of Forentvilles . Baron saw the effects the mafia of Forentvilles had on innocent people, and hated it.
One day Baron decided to relax at the home of one of his friends. It wasn't a big deal as they had done this various times before. Baron and his friends were on the second floor staring out a large window watching birds fly by. That and complaining about life.
Though their conversation was interrupted as they heard a loud crash and a scream. Sounded like it came from downstairs. A burglar or something here? Baron and the others look downstairs to see what it was. Baron was still at the top of the staircase so he didn't see the mobsters, but he saw the look on his friend's face and knew something was bad.

Baron knew he should help them, but this wasn't training. This was a real threat. Baron struggled to muster enough confidence to go downstairs and see what they were dealing with, but his legs wouldn't move.
He could hear fighting. When he heard one of his friends yell... He struggled, and eventually began to move. When he got downstairs, he saw one of his friends bleeding, and attempted to run over to him,, but was shoved to the ground, where he fell, and felt a sharp pain in his back. He rolled over, and pulled a rock off his back. It was shaped like a coral pink quatrefoil shaped rock. He rubbed his back. He saw the small rock, and without thinking picked it up. He was far too bus thinking about his friend who had lunged at the attacker, stabbing him in the eye with a kitchen knife. The boy was quickly killed, and his lifeless body fell to the ground. In that time, Baron managed to stand up, but didn't have enough time to help his friend.
Baron and his other still living friend, managed to head back upstairs, but they knew they couldn't defeat them, so they ran upstairs, locked the door, and snuck out the window. Leaving their other friend's death to go unavenged. Three days later, the town was invaded the Exignis Empire. Much of the town surrendered fairly early on. A few neighboring areas didn't go down without a fight.
Baron had eventually caught word that the mob group responsible for the attack three days prior, were among the casualties. Their deaths didn't bring back the deceased, but these people seemed far more competent than the Forentville Goverment. They were also merciful too, as Baron's father was offered a position within the Exignis Empire military. Eventually Baron would go on to try join as well, in appreciation to what good work the Exignis Empire did. Baron didn't quite understand their motives, but he believed they would create peace. After all, there was way less crime than there used to be.

Love the power, nice to see a friendly guy! Only change is that brontea imbeds itself in the body of a user. The second he picked it up it would’ve merged with him somehow. After you change that he’s accepted!hello welcome my traveling merchant character
Name: Chris Parker
Age: 46
Gender: Male
Desire: "I want to provide happiness with my wares."
Faction: None (though he formerly lived in Ramilahr, then moved to Binazuma), as Chris moves around from town-to-town (except Forentvilles and to a point Makuini) to sell his wares.
Rank/social standing: He's well-known to lots of people, though he's not part of any government.
Appearance: Chris has dark brown hair, his hair being a bit messy. He has dark skin, mostly due to him travelling all around the island, almost every day. His eyes are also a color of teal. Chris wears a blue robe, with gold borders on the ends of his robes. He's also got his brontea core embedded in his robe, near his neck. He also wears a pouch, filled with potions, which can be used offensively and defensively in a fight.
Personality: Chris is an extrovert, to put it simply. Even though he is an extrovert, Chris is well-into potion making, when making stops in cities. Chris loves speaking with other people, and meeting new ones. Even so, Chris is hardworking, and creates and gathers most of his wares. Lastly, Chris had been though about the law, and things that could be illegal, etc.
Tech: He's got basically nothing, though he owns a cart, and two horses, if that counts.
Backstory: From a young age, Chris' parents had always been staying in their rickety home, in the city of Ramilahr. His family was poor, and they almost had no food to eat almost daily. In a decade, Chris' father had saved up just enough money to buy horses and a cart, which they used to leave Ramilahr, to find a new place to live in. Though it had not gone well, as they were about to reach the now known lands of the Exignis Empire, His parents had passed due to a sickness. Chris had made it to Binazuma, all alone, with no family left, except for the cart and the two horses that were left with him.
The people of Binazuma took Chris as one of their own, teaching him many things, things that he would never have learned if he didn't move on and make the journey to Binazuma, things about technology, medicine, and so much more. more so, due to the many significant figures in the region, Chris learned much more about everything in the world, so much so, that once he reached thirty-four years old, Chris made the decision to leave the country to fulfill his dream of bringing a smile with what he can gather. Soon enough, Chris was gone, though he returned every few months, to sell different things to the people of Binazuma, which was his way of saying thanks to them.
Though, during one of his expeditions near the mountains of Makuini, Chris found a gen like no other, it looked like a topaz at first, so he kept it and returned to Binazuma to see if it really was real topaz, or something else. After less than a week of waiting, Chris found out that what he found was no ordinary crystal, but a brontea core. Soon enough, Chris left once more, the brontea core embedded into his robes.
Brontea Bio
Appearance: His Brontea Core is orange in color, with the same shape as a topaz.
Category: Extension
Ability: Chris is able to turn gases, that when inhaled, will make people smile or laugh. Basically a laughing gas. His desire is to make people smile with his wares, which is how he can turn local gases into laughing gas.
How they found it: (is in the backstory)
Evolution: None, for now.
Ooooo I really like her!!! Definitely perfectly suited for being a spy/informant of sorts with a very valuable power (also loved the description in the backstory). If you still have attachments to your other character concepts I hope you throw them in cause I’m sure I’d like them too. Accepted!Alright. Finally settled on a character concept for this one.
The backstory... happened, I guess! I don't know, I just started writing, and that was the end result. Sleep deprived productivity is certainly... something else.
Not too sure if she'll fit the tone and mechanics of the RP - if she doesn't, that's fine! I have a few other ideas in mind - most of the time I've spent on this was deciding between my various ideas haha.
Name: Estelle "Stella" Rivers
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Desire: "People make no sense... I wish that I could understand them better."
Faction: Lunaria
Rank/social standing: (Looking for suggestions here. I want her to be involved in the war in order to develop her character, but probably not in direct combat - so I don't really know what to do with her rank.)
Appearance:
Personality:View attachment 945178
Created using Charat Genesis. Stands at a height of 5'2. This is her casual wear, and it will likely change at some point. Her Brontea is located on her forehead.
An introverted and anxious individual, Estelle doesn't really get out much. She's an incredibly kind person that would walk to the ends of the earth for the people she cares about, but she finds it very difficult to make any meaningful connections. Socializing is decidedly not her forte - she tries her best, but her underconfidence tends to get the better of her. She struggles to understand people, and finds their mannerisms and behaviors confusing - which has led her to become incredibly invested in the inner workings of the mind. Despite her shortcomings, she is loyal and selfless to a fault, and she can be brave when her loved ones need her.
After fusing with her Brontea core, Estelle's confidence has improved. She's still awkward and anxious, but her newfound abilities have given her the boost she so desperately needed. She's coming out of her shell, bit by bit - but the process will be long and difficult.
Tech: A holographic watch that functions similarly to a smartphone, with a few additional features.
Backstory:
(Not sorry for this wall of text.)
In her own eyes, Estelle is remarkably average. She has always looked at the people around her and admired them for one reason or another - it seems like just about everyone has a story to tell. In contrast, she's just Estelle Rivers from Lunaria, just trying to get by in a world that she doesn't understand. She's not special, and she doesn't know if she ever will be.
Shortly after Estelle's birth, her biological parents put her up for adoption. She lived through her childhood with parents that loved her, but didn't quite understand her. She was educated at home, only switching to public education in high school.
Around the age of sixteen, she began to wonder what she was going to do with her life. She wasn't particularly strong or smart, and most of the careers that she thought she had a shot at weren't of interest to her. She wanted to help the kingdom of Lunaria, but she wasn't quite sure how.
Shortly before her eighteenth birthday, Estelle felt an indescribable pull at the very fabric of her soul. Someone or something was calling her, but she didn't know what. She tried to distract herself from the feeling for days on end, until it became impossible to ignore. Eventually, she gave in to the mysterious pull, soon finding herself in a rather ordinary-looking forest clearing. Despite how unassuming it seemed, the pull was stronger than ever - but she couldn't tell what she was being pulled to. It seemed like just an ordinary clearing.
Confused and frustrated, she sat down on a rock, hoping to collect her thoughts. Upon sitting down, a glimmer at her feet caught her eye. Leaning down to look at the mysterious gleam, she found an odd stone - clear in color, around half the size of her fist. She picked it up, and suddenly -
-----
Her senses were being assaulted to the point where they hardly worked anymore. It was incomprehensible, unimaginable - and yet, it felt familiar.
She couldn't think, couldn't breathe, couldn't scream. She was everything and nothing, all at once. She was--
What am I?
Who am I?
I am me.
And then, all at once, everything stopped.
Estelle Rivers found herself in a white void, stretching as far as the eye could see.
What is your deepest desire?
The words flooded every corner of her mind.
It was a simple question, and yet she could not bring herself to answer.
Amidst the confusion of her mind, her heart quietly chimed in, and suddenly she knew.
I want to understand. I want to understand people. I want to understand the world.
The feeling that overtook her next could not be described. Her mind was scattered on the non-existent wind, expanding to the edges of the plane, perceiving everything and anything and-
The world was black.
-----
When Estelle came to, she was on the ground next to the rock that she had previously been sitting on, the mysterious stone that she had found nowhere to be seen. Sitting up, she brought her head to her hand, checking for any injuries - only to feel something cool and hard, seemingly embedded into her head.
Panic overtook her at once, and she immediately got up and headed for a pond that she had passed by earlier. When she checked her reflection, she was surprised to see no wounds or blood - only a small and flat pink crystal, set in the center of her forehead.
She spent some time at that pond, trying to understand what had just happened. To say the least, she failed.
As she returned to the streets of Lunaria, her mind was suddenly filled with a barrage of ...information? thoughts? The stone in her forehead, now covered by her then-messy hair, suddenly felt much warmer than before.
Logically, she should not have known what was happening, but she did. Somehow, buried in her soul, she knew what had happened to her. These thoughts were not hers - but the thoughts of everyone around her. She was reading minds.
Over time, she came to understand her power better. At first, the constant barrage of thoughts and emotions was unbearable, but with time, she learned to control it. Eventually, she became able to use it at will, and was able to focus it on a target.
Some time later, she found herself seeking a position in government intelligence. She wanted to help Lunaria, and with her new power, she figured that this would be the best way to do it.
(okay, maybe I'm a little bit sorry for the wall of text)
Brontea Bio:
Appearance: Takes on the appearance of a small polished diamond. It is pinkish-purple in color. After fusion, it became embedded in her forehead, with only the polished portion being visible.
Category: Think this qualifies as Extension but I'm not too sure actually.
Ability:
Estelle's Brontea core has gifted her the ability to read the minds of the people around her. She can see and hear their thoughts, as well as their emotions. This power stems from her desire for understanding others - what better way to understand people than just knowing exactly what they are thinking at any given time?
To avoid this being too overpowered, the limitations are as follows:
- The person must be in Estelle's line of sight. If she can no longer see the target, the connection will be broken.
- If the target is notably perceptive, they may notice an odd feeling washing over them when she establishes a link.
- If she is startled out of the link, she will be heavily winded and unable to use her power again for a short while.
How they found it: See backstory
Evolution: None yet. Possibly affirmation or adaptation in the future - I'll wait and see where her story goes.
Ooooo I really like her!!! Definitely perfectly suited for being a spy/informant of sorts with a very valuable power (also loved the description in the backstory). If you still have attachments to your other character concepts I hope you throw them in cause I’m sure I’d like them too. Accepted!
Also yes, the power is a bit tricky. I’m tempted to say internalization because it grants her an ability to perceive things, and things like super hearing and vision are definitely internalization. However, depending on how you want her to evolve internalization might limit the way she can grow. Basically I’ll make an exception and let you decide since I could see an argument for internalization and extension
It’s shown on the surface for everyone except like TitusWhen the stone thingy attaches itself to the owner, does it disappear or can it be seen on them? Like does the stone stick out?
You can pick wherever. Just describe the shape and coloralright so I need to decide where does it show or does everyone have it at a certain place?
Looks pretty good. Since she’s kinda just roaming around I’ll probably pair her with Chris.I think I'm done editing for now, can you check if there's anything I'm missing? @Mango137
