Extra: Ai just radiates the unnatural, she has an unnatural beauty to her.
III. PERSONALITY
Personality: Ai is mainly driven by the need to consume over all else. After all, to live is to eat right? Due to not growing up in Earthland and Fiore the world is an alien planet to Ai. Yes she was born here, but she didn't grow up on this planet. Therefore human customs, emotions, and behavior in general don't make the least bit of sense to Ai. Ai finds it extremely difficult, if not impossible to empathize with other people. Though she has practiced on how to simulate empathy and understanding so that she can blend in. This is partially as people are Ai's favorite food. And she find's it extremely difficult to not look at everyone around her like they are food. Ai doesn't understand why she was sent to Earthland and fears that it was for no particular reason at all. She fears that she has no purpose, but that is nothing compared to the hunger, which she will seek to sate above all else. Despite her cravings Ai can behave like a normal girl. Making friends and forming bonds with people, she is Human after all. Although it is difficult for her to bond to someone. As it is hard for a normal person to think of a burger as a friend, why would it be different for Ai, who thinks of people as snacks to be had when she pleases?
Likes:
- Eating
- Killing
- Water
- Warmth
- Human flesh (It's delicious!)
Dislikes:
- Being hungry
- The cold
- Inedible substances
- People (They don't make sense to her)
Motivations:
- To eat. Ai is always hungry and always wants to eat something. She finds people particularly tasty and nutritious for some reason.
- To learn about the world and how it behaves. Fiore is an alien planet to Ai and it's laws don't make sense to her. She wants to understand it all.
- To find out her purpose in life.
Fears:
- Death: What living thing doesn't fear death in some manner?
- Finding out she has no purpose in life
- Ice: In the world that Ai grew up in ice meant death. The most dangerous creatures there used ice.
Positive Traits:
- Regeneration (+4): You heal very fast inside and outside of combat. Small cuts that go up to one inch deep are healed in the next post.
Explanation: C Rank damage healed every post. - Swift (+3): You are fleet of foot. When running, you move three times your normal speed.
Explanation: You have a passive C Rank speed buff at all times. - Acrobatic (+3): You have excellent body awareness and coordination.
Explanation: Character can perform flashy moves such as back flips, cartwheels and various other moves when dodging an attack. - Agile (+3): You are particularly flexible and poised.
Explanation: You can dodge an attack up to B Rank, so long as it is feasible for you do to so (AoE excluded). Usable once per thread. - Alertness (+2): You have finely tuned senses.
Explanation: Passive D Rank hearing, sight, and smell buffs. - Blindsight (+4): Using senses such as acute hearing and sensitivity to vibrations, you detect the location of opponents who are no more than five feet away from you. Darkness and Invisibility are irrelevant, though you cannot detect non corporeal beings.
Explanation: Self Explanatory.
Negative Traits:
- Bad Reputation (-1): You have a reputation that angers or frightens people. Examples include being unlucky, petty, or cruel. The rep may or may not be accurate, but in either case, word travels faster than you do.
Explanation: You can't communicate easily with non player characters. Somehow they've heard of you and the things they've heard weren't too good. - Compulsive Honesty (-2): You cannot tell a lie, nor can you behave in a deceitful fashion. You tend to be blunt rather than tactful, even if it means insulting someone who you and your companions are trying to impress.
Explanation: You can't lie and you will tell the truth when someone asks you something instead of lying. So if your team is impressing an ogre and the ogre asks if you guys are truly from the guild you guys claimed you were and lied about it, you will screw it up and say the truth - Cruel (-1): You have a sadistic streak that causes you to perform acts of cruelty for no good reason. Of course, this doesn't endear you to others. Most times you are prudent enough to carry out your cruelties on those under your thumb, rather than those you see as equals. However, you carry a constant social stigma, as rumors have their way of getting around.
Explanation: You must perform an act of cruelty one out of five posts. - Curiosity (-1): You're a naturally curious person and you find mysteries of any sort irresistible. In most circumstances, alas, your curiosity overrides your common sense. This forces you to investigate something unusual, even if it looks like it might be dangerous.
Explanation: You will walk deeper into the forest you have never been before. You won't turn around from the castle that you have never seen. This can result into getting you into very dangerous situations. - Dark Secret (-1): You have some sort of secret that, if revealed, would make you an outcast amongst your society and companions. While this secret is on your mind at all times, it will come up in topics only once in a while, but when it does, watch out!
Explanation: You must think about your dark secret at least one out of ten posts. When things that are relevant to the dark secret are brought up you can't stop thinking about it. (Ai is from another world entirely and has a not so benevolent being inhabiting her body) - Obsessions (-3): The character cannot help thinking about an idea, image, or impulse incessantly, often involving violence and self-doubt. These ideas are frequently repugnant to the character, but they are so strong that during times of stress (such as combat) she may be unable to concentrate on anything else, even if doing so is necessary for her survival.
Explanation: Character must think about the target of their obsession one out of five posts. (Ai is always thinking about eating something, most of the time it's people) - Compulsions (-3): The character insists on performing ritual actions, such as touching a doorway at left, right, and top before passing through it. Though she may agree that the actions are senseless, the need to perform them is overpowering.
Explanation: The character must do their compulsion, regardless of adverse affects--including bodily harm (Ai always needs to have something in her mouth, she doesn't feel comfortable otherwise.). - Mania (-3): The character has a fairly constant euphoric or possibly irritable mood. Symptoms include a general increase in activity, talkativeness, increased self-esteem to the point of delusion, decreased need for sleep, being easily distracted, willingness for dangerous or imprudent activities , delusions, hallucinations, and bizarre behavior.
Explanation: Character must be affected by their mania once every three posts. (Ai always wants to eat the people around her and has hallucinations about it. Depending on the circumstances she may act on those hallucinations.) - Hedonistic (-1): You love a good time. You party too much, drink too much, and eat too much. You have trouble resisting an invitation to join someone in a drink and sometimes shirk your duty if offered a more enjoyable time elsewhere. Whenever a good time is presented you let your guard down. You're also not capable to resist seduction of any sort. It's just not in your nature to resist such opportunities.
Explanation: You always give in when a good time is offered such as drinks, women and other things. Even in the midst of a dangerous raid through a castle you decide to stay in the room that has wine and beautiful girls in them even though they could be monsters. - Inattentive (-1): Your mind has a habit of drifting off at inopportune moments. It flits from one thought to the next so fast that you have trouble getting it to concentrate on the here and now. As such, you are particularly unaware of your surroundings.
Explanation: You must drift off at least one out of five posts. - Overzealous (-1): You are incapable of having a weak opinion. Everything you believe, you believe as if your life depended on it. Everything you don't believe in, you hate with a passion.
Once in a while your flaw gets you to strongly defend one of your opinions, no matter how inappropriate the time and place, nor what the circumstances of such an outburst may be.
Explanation: If someone goes against your beliefs, you violently defend the beliefs, even if the person is your ally.
IV. MAGIC
Magic: Bio-Weapon AI: Adaptive Parasite
Caster or Holder: Caster
Description: Ai was turned into a biological weapon and doesn't eat food like most other humans do. Any biological matter that she consumes is added to a pool of biomass within her body that provides the material for her magic to manipulate. Ai's magic forcibly mutates parts of her body into various shapes and forms. Ranging from mutating her arms into weapons made of flesh, sinew, blood, and bone, to hardening or changing her skin into biological armor, to growing new appendages entirely for various purposes, or even changing her general shape. All of these mutations are quite painful and horrific in nature, but Ai is able to adapt to a huge variety of situations by mutating herself to suit the situation. As her magic is fueled off of the biomass she eats Ai is always famished after using her magic, and will usually attempt to eat the first living thing she sees. (Usually her defeated opponent)
Strengths: Ai is essentially a shapeshifter. Albeit she cannot turn into other people, monsters, demons, angels, or any other form of creature, even partially. She just grows extra organs, limbs, appendages, and alters her own body to suit her needs. Her magic is nonelemental in nature, therefore it isn't particularly strong against any element. But that also means it isn't weak against any particular element. Ai's wide variety of mutations allows her to adapt to many situations. For example if an enemy gets extremely close Ai can turn one of her arms into a massive blade like appendage and tear them appart, or turn her abdomen into a giant maw and attempt to devour them. Likewise Ai can harden various parts of her body for offensive and defensive purposes. Making her skin armor or making her fingertips sharp blades of flesh and bone. Ai can also grow extra appendages to suit various purposes, like a bladed tentacle for mid-range combat, or a flesh cannon that soaks her opponents in digestive juices at range. If she's driven to an extreme Ai can undergo an extreme transformation and even alter the general shape of her body to suit various purposes. Like turning herself into a biological mortar platform, or a hardened flesh bunker of sorts. Or even a strangling carpet of flesh reaching out to ensnare anyone who steps on it.
Weaknesses: As her magic works off of her stored biomass, if Ai hasn't eaten recently or is denied eating her magic will lose effectiveness and power over time. The hungrier Ai gets the more reckless she will become as well, as she will desperately try everything in her power to incapacitate her opponent or to consume them. At extreme hunger she will not be able to distinguish friend from foe, just trying to consume any living, or recently living thing nearby in order to sate her ravenous hunger. Her magic is nonelemental in nature as well, so every other magic in existence is equally strong against Ai's magic. Also if Ai uses one her preexisting appendages for a mutation and it is attacked it will still hurt Ai as if you hit the appendage when it wasn't mutated. Therefore turning her arms into weapons doesn't prevent them from being targeted and damaged.
V. HISTORY
History:
- History:
- The girl who calls herself “Ai” was spirited away before her parents even had a chance to give her a name. She was taken to a different world by a creature that is only hinted at in the darkest occult books in Earthland. Ai doesn't know what it's called, only that it was far larger than her, had far more limbs than her, a different body shape than her, and things in places where they weren't on her. Nevertheless this thing raised her, keeping her in a secure and safe complex, teaching her the rules of that world.
After she grew enough, about 5 cycles around the triplet suns in the sky, the creature started to experiment on her. She was poked and prodded, cut, things were removed from her body and different things were added. Nevertheless the creature still let her keep the same body shape and development that Humans naturally undergo as they grow. All Ai knew was that when the pain and horror was done she was different than before. She could do amazing things. Her body could change at a whim, but the more she changed herself, the hungrier she got.
This was the first time Zatoth spoke to her. It wasn't an audible voice, but rather she got the distinct impression that something was speaking to her in her very mind. It told her to eat, she must eat something, anything. Suddenly ravenous Ai looked at her monstrous benefactor, the being who raised her and took care of her, and blacked out.
When she came to her senses she was hunched over the corpse of the creature that raised her. Her hands were covered in it's blood and the taste of it's flesh was still in her mouth as she was furiously devouring it. Zatoth was laughing in her mind, she had no idea what it thought was funny but she laughed along with it. Ai sat there in the bloody room with the creature that raised her, but who she barely knew, and laughed. Soon she collected herself and was urged on by Zatoth. “Go on, eat, live, survive.” Ai left the complex that she had lived in for so long and ventured out into the world.
For the next 7 cycles Ai survived off of the land. Living like a wild animal consuming everything she could get her hands, or any other useful appendage on. Constantly being urged on by the voice in her head. It provided words of encouragement and something to converse with when she was lonely. She spent the days traveling and scrounging for food. She spent the nights hiding from massive creatures made of ice and snow that laid waste to everything in their path.
Eventually she came across something strange. There was a tear in the air in front of her. The breeze coming through the tear was warm and nice, rather than the frigid air of the land around her. Ai wanted that warmth for herself. So she crawled towards the tear, getting warmer and faster as she approached it. When she ran through the tear she was at a dead sprint and after she was through she immediately tripped on a branch on the ground in front of her. Landing flat on her face. She could hear a whooshing in the air behind her as the tear closed. She was back in her homeland, Earthland, exactly a year after she was spirited away. Though she did not know this.
When Ai gathered herself the first thing she saw were two bipedal pink creatures coming closer to her making sounds that she didn't understand. She was scared of these things as she has never seen any creature like them before. So like a cornered animal she lashed out, cutting the two creatures down as they screamed. After her adrenaline stopped pumping through her system Ai was famished. And those creatures were meat, it would be a waste to leave it there. So she ate them, her biological parents, though she wouldn't find that out until later. What she did know, was that they were DELICIOUS. She had never tasted anything like them before, it was Heaven in her mouth. So she sat and had her second gruesome meal.
After she sated herself for now Zatoth spoke to her again. He was strangely knowledgeable about this new place and instructed her to go into a nearby building. She would stay there for a few weeks while Zatoth taught her things, mainly the language and the history of the land she now found herself in. When her parent's neighbors showed up, concerned as they hadn't heard from her parents for a while. Ai cut them down and put their bodies in the fridge for later. When the Rune Knights showed up to investigate the people's disappearance Ai quickly crept away from the threat these people posed.
Urged on by Zatoth Ai needed to find a guild. Zatoth told her that these “guilds” would be a good place for her to blend in so she can get her bearings in this “new” world. Maybe, just maybe she could find a purpose for existing in there. Or maybe it would just end with her eating everyone in the guild. Either way, it didn't matter to Ai.
