Nashota - Keeks - 12-04-2016 Nashota Race: Shifter (Wolf Full anthro) Gender: Female Age: 22 Height: 6' Weight: Average Strength: Strong Physical Description: The color of midnight at its darkest hour, tailbone length hair stops at her rear. Though it's typically tied back in a tight, uniform ponytail, it gleams in both the moonlight and sunlight -- Nashota keeps her hair well-groomed and free of debris and dandruff. Bronze skin stretches over the expanse of her body, and almond shaped eyes, slanted just so, are the deepest of blues. Her nose, like the straight edge of a blade, is long and thin, leading to her lips: horizontally asymmetrical, with her upper lip being somewhat flat and her bottom lip being just the least bit plumper. Nashota is tall and thin, but her muscles are well-toned and well-worked from her time working on her family's farm and taking mercenary jobs to help put food on that table. Apparel: Nashota's apparel is typically of the simplest variety. Most commonly, she dons clothing of the darker sort: a dark, sleeveless cotton tee (long-sleeved during the colder months); equally dark cotton pants; and leather boots that stop mid-shin. When needed, she dons sturdier clothing and simple leather armor: a dark long-sleeved cotton top, arm guards that stretch from her wrists to her elbows; a leather bustier top that has wide straps and stops at her hips; two leather blade straps clench both her thighs; and shin guards stretch from her kneed to her ankles. Backstory: Nashota's story is a simple one. She's an only child, born to a mother and father that had been trying for a child for years. The pregnancy and birth were both tough because her mother was slightly older than was considered appropriate for bearing children, but Nashota grew up well-loved, and though she was an only child, she was the center of her parents' world. She grew up working -- hard work became customary to expect of her day, and as her parents aged, she took on more and more of it. Wake at dawn, work the day, stop for lunch, work some more, head in at sun down. When an illness felled her father, she and her mother were forced to take on his work, too. But watching her near-elderly mother work so hard each day was a torture all its own, so Nashota explored other avenues. Mercenary work was less common where they lived, a town too small to be considered a town, so every morning, she traveled to the city in search of work. Any city-goer worth their salt would be able to recognize the green on her -- but that didn't stop the work from pouring in. It wasn't what she expected; the initial work consisted of small odd jobs that people of the city needed help with, and while she wasn't paid what she'd expected, she was still able to feed her parents and pay the few bills and taxes they had. Will Add more soon. The Story Of Nashota: Optional, nothing to put here at start anyway. Its a thread tracker. Affiliations and Contacts:None yet. Skills and Abilities Endurance Training Aspect: Earth Bound - Sturdy as the mountain, strong as steel. You are tied to the earth and it to you, providing a sense of patience and sturdiness unmatched by others. Level 0: Spinning, trembling, etc do not bother you and your body is somewhat resistant to attacks that rely on sound or vibrations. Level 1: You may command the earthen materials beneath your feet to either soften or magnify your footfalls, allowing for a stealthy or intimidating approach. Level 2: You may cause any earthen object you alone are holding to vibrate at a specific frequency, effectively increasing its modifier by one in clashes with other materials. Aspect: Umbral Soul - Transient, mesmerizing. You feel a kinship to light and shadow, the stars in the sky and the unlit depths. Level 0: You have never cast any shadow except for your "true shadow", a shadow which always exists - no matter how bright or how dark it is - and cannot be illuminated. This shadow has a mind and senses of its own, and moves of its own will. Although it has a mind and personality of its own (OOC: usually defined/played by player of PC) its life is tied to yours, thus making your well being is its top concern. Level 1: Your shadow can separate itself from you, traveling across any kind of surface. It may flow back to its regular – attached – location in an instant, and does so automatically if any part of it would travel farther than 50ft from your person. Level 2: You and your shadow may communicate telepathically with each other. Furthermore, while two dimensional, your shadow may change its size and/or shape at will. Max triple size, min half size. If it would gain a third dimension any changes in shape and size are reverted back to their initial state. Level 3: While attached to you, your shadow may reverse the connection between you and it; controlling part or all of your body like a puppet. This is not telekinesis, and any movements made have to be physically possible for your body to perform. If you and your shadow move as one your strength is effectively increased by a level. You may resist your shadow’s control if you so desire. Laborer: Having grown up with the rigors of fieldwork, Nashota is stronger than average (Strong).

Level 2: Ferropathy - While maintained, you gain an awareness of metals within 10' of you and their movements. Umbral: Level 1: Stash - Quickly bring your hands together twice, fingers interlaced, then bring them apart, weaving a small bag of solid shadows to contain whatever you might need. This bag may contain up to twice the amount it appears to. The bag counts as a summon. Level 2: Lurk - While maintained, any darkness you are in has just enough substance to act like a spider's web, alerting you to vibrations caused by movements through it within 20' of you. Level 3: Shadowcrawler - Shape and animate your shadow into a summoned beast of living, solid darkness, icy and swirling, no larger than a large domestic cat. Species this beast takes the form of is chosen upon learning.

[1.5 minors] Other Magical Possessions Other Mundane Possessions Pets Gold: 30 RE: Nashota - Udo - 12-04-2016 Ok, so you had said you were interested in hand wraps for fighting and a necklace weapon. For the hand wraps: These hand wraps appear to be dirt stained cloth. When both are worn, the user feels as though their hands are being weighed down. This doesn't effect them, but they always feel the weight. These have an effective modifier of 4 and are resilient enough to block a strike from a blade of equal modifier. For the cost of a spell per post they are able to solidify around the wearer's fists. While solidified they grant the wearer an additional strength level. Modifiers used: 0/4 (Minor 1+2) For the necklace: This necklace has a chain link band of eternal ice with a pendant of magically reinforced glass in the center. When looking into the glass, it seems to have an infinite depth of black in the center. At the price of a summon slot, the user is able to pull the necklace off and have it change shape. The links of ice begin to flow outward and seemingly multiply while getting spikes on the outside. The pendant melts and forms a grip for the wielder. At its base, the chain links take the general size and shape of a short sword. With a flick though, the wielder is able to send the chain links flowing outwards creating a bladed whip out to a length of 15 feet. These effects are the result of a modified Umbral rune, and it possess the other abilities of the rune. *Umbral - The object can glow/darken at will, anything from bright light to looking like a hole in reality is possible. The object can temporarily reduce its weight and size as well, becoming as much as 90% lighter and/or smaller (effect lasts as long as desired). Modifiers used: 1/4 (Minor 3+4) We could reduce the minor cost, if you have other ideas if you instead wanted to buy the rune itself for 150 gp. MK should weigh in on these as well.

[1.5 minors] RE: Nashota - Magikeeper - 12-07-2016 Approved! It sounds like she either grew up somewhere in Ballena or somewhere in Casawek. If "Tiburon" is the city in question that'd be Ballena then - I think that works more for what you're going for as well. Even Casawek's largest trading town is still rather country. |
