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.

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.
WILDCARDS: Suzy
Date: 2019-02-02 05:28 pm (UTC)Persona Name: Chamuel.
Persona Appearance:
A prehistoric nightmare of a tiger. Chamuel is immense and well-muscled, bigger than a horse, with the oversized canines of a sabertooth and a furious roar that is disturbing on a primal level. As if forever out in the cold, his breath comes out in foggy bursts and his fur is laced with frost and crystals of ice. Between his shining yellow eyes is a golden emblem in the shape of a starry snowflake.
When not engaged with Shadows, Chamuel lounges. He likes to bop his gargantuan head against Suzy for attention, like an oversized tabby, and will put bared fangs between her and a potential threat. The tiger's magic manifests as slow-creeping frost that radiates from his claw-points, and a fascinating (yet intimidating) ability to freeze things solid with his stare.

Affinity: Ice.
Weakness: Lightning.
Ailment Susceptibility: Enervation.
___
Arcana: The Moon.
Persona Name: Ophaniel.
Persona Appearance:
A drifting astronaut with a broken helmet, visor caved in and skull grinning out. Ophaniel floats untethered, feet never touching the ground, surrounded by a field of glass shards that glimmer in available light. They give off the impression of being.... well, dead. Or close to dead. In fact, they often appear to have little to no control over the direction of their movements, as though truly lost in space: bouncing off the environment, slowly turning in circles in the squad's periphery, etc. Suzy is the center of a meandering orbit. If urgency is required, Ophaniel seems to simply reappear where needed, but even that has the floating, dance-like quality of a space walk.
When attacking, magic sparks like a mis-wire or short-out from somewhere in their suit. Lightning shoots from glass shard to glass shard around them, forming branching, beautiful displays.
This persona is mostly nonreactive, but occasionally crackles with static and garbled voices, like someone trying to make contact over a fuzzy radio.

Affinity: Lightning.
Weakness: Stone.
Ailment Susceptibility: Sleep.
___
Arcana: The Emperor.
Persona Name: Hamal.
Persona Appearance:
A drowned king in ragged finery and crown, fused atop a bony, long-fanged Kelpie. River weeds entwine in hair and around limbs, with dark water forever rolling around their hooves, splashing as the horse-shaped creature moves (not exactly like a horse; in subtle and hard to describe ways, a bit more like a giant predator).
When Suzy directs an attack, the water grows troubled below Hamal's hooves, swelling in waves and lashing out with force. The king directs the kelpie around the battlefield with an authoritative point, and their horse head complies by biting and tearing at Shadows with relish.
Despite an unsettling appearance and apparent enjoyment in killing things, Hamal has a playful attitude toward both Suzy and her squadmates. The king occasionally removes his crown in salute to them, and the kelpie is capable of a kind of panting, doggy smile, greasy black tongue lolling out of its wolfish mouth.

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

Arcana: The Devil.
Persona Name: Zephon.
Persona Appearance:
A sorrowful girl in antiquated mourning garb. Zephon has the appearance of an animated painting: rich colors, rich darks, a smooth, angelic face glistening with tears. She walks at a stately clip, clutching a flower in one of her hands. Occasionally she can be heard making a sound that resembles sobbing.
When Zephon attacks using earth magic, she flings her flower down like a gauntlet before the desired Shadow, which is viciously choked by the vines and thorns that spring from it like a snapping trap. Her crocodile tears turn to smiling laughter, and her face twists into a distorted sneer.
This persona generally doesn't seem to notice or care about other humans, but when Suzy dismisses her she likes to offer a pretty bloom in farewell. If taken, it crumbles to ash that smells of sulfur.

Affinity: Earth.
Weakness: Water.
Ailment Susceptibility: Forget.
