Character Name: Character's name.
Squad: Select your character's squad. These are pre-assigned for squad leaders.
Squad Position: Select your character's position on the squad. This can be Leader, Second, Member (High/Medium/Low), or Support based on what's available. Leaders and supports are pre-determined and can be found on the Character Roster.
Primary Weapon: Select your character's weapon of choice. Supports may mark this question as N/A.
Combat Style: Outline particular combat skills here, along with their attitude in battle. Are they gung-ho? Do they try to protect their teammates at risk of themselves? Do they try to let others do the heavy lifting? For support characters, this is how they handle their role and how they generally treat their team. Do they worry all the time? Are they quick to point out things, even if they're not a threat? Are they relaxed?
Attribute: Select the attribute that best defines your character's abilities: Strength, Stamina, Speed, or Balance! This will not impact bonuses but it it will impact narrative elements and dungeon navigation.
Persona Name: Please select an available Persona listed under your house.
Persona Appearance: Provide a brief description of your Persona.
Affinity: Select one of the two elements available to your character's house. This is the element that your character will be most proficient in attacking with and defending against. Swords may choose Air or Thunder, Cups may choose Water or Ice, Wands may choose Fire or Lightning, and Coins may choose Earth or Stone.
Weakness: Please select one of the elements not associated with your character's house. This will be the element that does the most damage against your character and their Persona.
Ailment Susceptibility: Select the mental or physical ailment that your character is particularly susceptible to: Poison, Sleep, Mute, Confusion, Enervation, Rage, Fear, Forget, Charm, and Despair. All characters may get all status ailments, but this will be the one most likely to impact the character. Keep in mind that a toned down version of the ailment may, at times, linger with the character for a few days after the initial exposure.
Petra Warren-Yates
Squad: V
Squad Position Member (Low Level)
Primary Weapon: An underwater rifle. Petra's is nearly indistinguishable from a normal rifle, except, of course, in that it can fire underwater. As is common to amphibious firearms, it shoots tiny flechettes instead of bullets which make a distinctive buzzing sound when fired.
Combat Style: Strong, steady, and dependable — until the exact moment when she's not. Petra brings her sharpshooting skills to the battlefield, where she can be trusted to strike any reasonable target (and a few unreasonable ones, too) with precision and accuracy, and although she's not carrying a sniper, she likes the challenge of shooting from a great distance or odd angles.
Cheerful in the face of danger, while Petra has no intention of taking unnecessary risks, she also isn't one to flee from a fight. She'll hold her position even as the tides turn against her, making her a valuable defensive asset if others need to beat a hasty retreat. Unfortunately, that same trait can make her difficult to work with in chaotic situations — while she's happy to follow someone's instructions if they explain what to do and why, she never follows orders blindly, and will blatantly break rank if she disagrees with her leaders. Thankfully, that hasn't happened too often... yet.
Attribute: Balance
Persona Name: Harahel — angel of abundance, productivity, and practical intelligence
Persona Appearance: Harahel takes the form of, well, an angel. She's a cemetery statue, a beautiful woman with long feathered wings, made of a strange white rock that looks like marble, if marble had the rough, porous texture of old concrete. Her edges are chipped and her features are slowly wearing away — not just from the power of time alone (although she does appear surprisingly ancient), but also because she's being slowly subsumed by the earth.
Moss is growing over its right side, and creeping vines, moonflower and ivy, wrap its way around her base, her arms, her hands. Sometimes, the plants bloom — trumpet blossoms, usually. There are cracks in the stone where roots have taken hold, and inside those crumbling spaces you can see the warm, red-white-gold glow of citrine and quartz geodes.
Occasionally, when you look at her, it seems as though, perhaps, the vines are carved from crystal and rock, and the broken spaces are filled with flowers. Petra's not sure what that means, but it makes her feel very strange to look at it, and she's always relieved when it goes back to normal after a few good blinks.
Affinity: Stone
Weakness: Air
Ailment Susceptibility: Sleep
