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.

A summary of battle stats (by squad), levels, and additional character abilities can be found HERE.



    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.

Arcana: The Sun
Persona Name: Johiel
Persona Appearance: Diminutive for a persona at hardly six feet tall, Johiel takes the shape of a dryad hewn from vines. Her petticoats are made of brightly coloured tropical leaves and her fairylike wings have petals in place of feathers. Though the rest of her form suggests a female appearance, her face is entirely featureless. The tightly coiled vines that make up the rest of her body form a geometric cage in place of a head. Trapped inside is a miniature sun.

As Johiel exerts herself in battle, be it through flowery magic or vine whip physical attacks, the fire trapped in her head begins to set her alight from the inside. When Rose dismisses Johiel, she burns up entirely.
Affinity: Earth
Weakness: Fire
Ailment Susceptibility: Despair

Arcana: The Hermit
Persona Name: Ambriel, angel of communications
Persona Appearance: A robe-clad figure with the sweet, inquisitive face of a gecko lizard, Ambriel does not look particularly intimidating at first glance. It holds a lantern on a crook, and the light of the flickering flame occasionally produces shadow puppets on nearby surfaces.

In battle, however, Ambriel is a vicious foe. Quick and erratic, it goes berserk as soon as it encounters Shadows. Ambriel will bludgeon nearby enemies with indiscriminate and haphazard blows of its lantern, sometimes leaving them aflame.

Affinity: Fire
Weakness: Air
Ailment Susceptibility: Rage
----
Arcana: The Tower
Persona Name: Shalgiel, Angel of Snow
Persona Appearance: Shalgiel is a stack of toads and frogs, each smaller than the last and made of snow or ice. Like snowflakes, each is individual and unique, different every time Rose summons this persona. Some carry swords or shields, some wear tiny wizard hats, and some just look confused to be there.

Versatile in combat, its strengths depend on the composition of the tower. More frog warriors mean it tends to use more physical attacks; frogs with wands and spellbooks encourage magical ones. While the stack is capable of moving, it is not particularly agile. When Rose dismisses Shalgiel, the tower topples over and vanishes in individual flurries of snow.

Affinity: Ice
Weakness: Earth
Ailment Susceptibility: Charm
