BATTLE STATS

A significant part of life at Finchwood Academy revolves around honing one's Persona and preparing to do battle with the otherworldly Shadows. Fill out the form below to help the mods out and give everyone the details of your character's combat style and their other self!

Responses are screened until the mods approve the character. This must be done, along with the Application before a character will be accepted.

Character Name: Portia Frank

Squad: 7
Squad Position: Member [Medium].
Primary Weapon: Combat knife.
Combat Style: A bottomless well of crackling, scrappy energy, Portia has blossomed under Lee's encouragement in training and battle... but it would still frankly (ha) be an understatement to say she lacks refinement.

As a squad member, she brings a somewhat manic, gremlin-like energy to the field: effective and thorough destruction under the right direction, like a toy slasher you can wind up and release, but a touch chaotic when left to her own devices. She's hackin and whackin and smackin (and occasionally just, like, fuckin' throwing her knife at stuff). It's not hard to knock her down, but she'll pop up swinging. Years of Girl's Wrestling has given her some fierce chokeholds, and she knows how to throw her weight around. Portia may not always be 100% sure what the objective is, but let's get it done!

...She doesn't wanna die, though. Her tiny berserker act is incomplete. Though it wouldn't be totally out of the question to group her with some of the more reckless and borderline suicidal of Finchwood's finest, the source of her power comes not from an urge to self-destruct, but to survive. She's willing to do almost anything to succeed, even if it means a touch of pain here and there. (Iason is really good at healing flesh wounds!!!)

Portia looks up to her squad members and considers them icons of maturity and coolness.

Attribute: Stamina.

Persona Name: Damabiah.
Persona Appearance:
Damabiah is the calm to Portia's chaos in battle.

She's a being reminiscent of those classic biblical seraphim, aberrations who felt it necessary to forewarn those they appeared before: Be Not Afraid. A divine yet monstrous glitch, Damabiah appears as a weird, writhing mess of porcelain arms and many-jointed legs and churning wings and color-changing feathers. Her face is kaleidoscopic when unobscured. She is part bird and part human, with the hazy, hard-to-discern quality of a distant and uncomfortable mirage.

While Damabiah is difficult and disorienting to look at, she is worth studying. Once in a while her features settle, revealing a pair of deep, doe-like eyes, and a soft, somewhat apologetic smile.

When she attacks, her (10? 20? 100?) wings beat the air in a coordinated strike, pulsing with energy and intent. The sound is indescribable but immense.

Affinity: Thunder.
Weakness: Stone.
Ailment Susceptibility: Charm.
