Further edits, I think we're there. Hijacking for secret WIP.
At A Glance
Name: Agnes Mercurius
Age: 23
Race: Born Shifter
Appearance: Agnes cuts an imposing figure, standing almost seven feet tall and quite broad shoulders. Her skin is pale and her frame is lithe and slight in the way many avian shifters tend towards. Her eyes, small, bordering on beady, are silver with perfectly triangular pupils. Her facial features are angular and sharp, giving her a very severe countenance that doesn't quite soften when she smiles. Her jet black hair is kept short, partly because it is perpetually sticking out in every conceivable direction.
Shifted: Agnes' shifted form is even more imposing than her normal demeanour. Her black hair turns to feathers giving her a fearsome plumage extending up and back over her shoulders. Her fingers elongated out into a talons and her already angular features harden into a psuedo-beak. Most striking of all (especially in Avarka), Agnes' shifted form possesses an additional pair of eyes, set where he temples would otherwise be. When shifted Agnes' pupils flood with colour, turning from a dull silver to a brilliant gold.
Apparel: Agnes' everyday outfit might be mistaken for those of a monk or priest, uncoloured flowing robes and trousers, cinched close with a black silk sash. What sets her ensemble apart however is long black coat, trimmed with gold thread and a matching pair of black leather boots, toes capped with what appears to be solid gold.
Background: Not long after Agnes was born, a group of robed figures appeared at her parents' home and explained that she needed to live with them. Obviously they did not agree to hand over their daughter. The robed figures returned that night and took Agnes home. The Monastery of Crows raised Agnes correctly, and though she sometimes wondered if she might go back and meet her birth parents, she was told she had more important matters to attend.
Aspects, Talents and Skills
Called by Storms - Agnes has a natural affinity for wind and storms, capable of learning all manner of spells that call upon those forces. [Storm-Called]
- Whispers of a Murder - Agnes' constantly hears a faint song from the skies, that to her sounds like a melodious cawing of crows and ravens. It provides her comfort, stability and eases her pains. [Sky Song]
1 - By listening to the song, Agnes can divine information about local weather patterns and conditions, and sometimes predict oncoming severe weather.
2 - Using a spell per post, Agnes can make the song audible to others. Its volume anything from soft and quiet to painfully loud.
To Fight in Darkness - Agnes' has a natural affinity for both the light and the dark, manifest in her Umbral aspect. [Umbral Soul]
- See the Darkness - Even without shifting, Agnes' eyes are sight to behold, silver and black and shifting as she focuses on different effects. [Visionary]
0 - Agnes may focus on the magic in an area, seeing it as faintly glowing light.
1 - Agnes can choose to filter out certain wavelengths of light, allowing her to better see distant objects or specific colours.
2 - Agnes' eyes naturally manipulate light as it enters them, granting her natural telescopic vision and adding ultra-violet to her visible spectra.
Spells and Magics
Storm Spells
Agnes may cast one 3rd Level or lower Storm spell each post as a bonus.
1 - Drift - Thicken the air beneath you just enough that if you are falling it slows your decent and allows for a soft landing.
2 - Deafen - Completely still the air around a target's ears preventing any sound from reaching them. Use will rarely go unnoticed.
Umbral Spells
When Agnes uses her spell per post to cast an Umbral spell, she may instead cast two instances of that spell, spreading its effects.
1 - Visage - Manipulate the shadows on your face to trick the eye into misjudging your facial features.
2 - Blind - Scatter the light before a target's eyes, blinding them for the briefest of moments.
Weapons, Accessories and Valuables
The Gilded Blade - A blackened steel long sword, its edges lined with gold that seems impossible sharp. Leather working around the hilt invokes a feather motif. [Modifier 1]
- Iconic - The Gilded Blade is a remarkable facsimile of a real legendary type weapon, it appears as though it is made of the strongest of materials.
A Big Crossbow with a Good Name - Is big. Fires bolts. Probably crow themed.
Gold - 20
