[Bryce] [Red Racer Witch] and [Sham] [Scarf Kishin] Character Name: Bryce Age: 175 years Gender: Female Type: Witch Partnered? Kinda Image: Picture Clothing and description: Having been mistaken for a boy too many times, Bryce decided to change her image and to give herself new look. Her skin is still dark brown, her eyes are still bright gold in color, and her ears are still pointed, but her hair, instead of being short and choppy, now cascades in long red curls down her back with the help of some extensions. She's of average height for the age she appears to be, topping off at 5'4". Having had a circus background, Bryce is very lean with toned muscles especially in her arms, legs, and midriff. Her new vest is styled in an older style, with a pattern of black and wine-colored pinstripes with a darker wine colored patch of cloth on the center of the vest. On the darker fabric there are 4 large gold buttons as well as a gold chain strung across the front of the vest. The collar of the vest is white and tied shut with a large wine-colored bow with a red brooch at the base of her throat. She wears patchwork black elbow length gloves with white shirt cuffs acting as bracelets. Her jeans are in a bootcut style and are mostly black with a white checkered pattern on her right leg. Her shoes are colored black with wine patches and tied closed with a large wine-colored ribbon with gold buttons on the bow. Bryce's kishin-egg-scarf, Sham, having gained a few souls, has also changed slightly in appearance. While he is still mostly colored light green, now there are dark green swirling marks covering his 8ft long body. He hasn't gained any weight either, staying at a measly two pounds. History: Bryce's story begins within a small traveling circus. This circus wasn't just any circus though, it was run by a small coven of weaker powered witches that none of the major groups wanted anything to do with. So they gathered together, bonded by their mutual hatred for the larger groups and formed El Circo de las Serpentias. The circus rarely performed in mischievous things, they preferred performing their talents and being applauded for them rather than feared for them. Out of the small coven the one who stood out the most was the one who took up the mantle of Fortune Teller. The Jamaican Yellow Boa Witch's ability was to see into the future. She usually could only see a few years, but sometimes she would get major visions that showed major things taking place. One such vision showed the fortune teller about the birth of her future daughter. She got right on making sure that this vision would come true and had a very one-sided relationship with the Belorussian World's Strongest Man, who was also a male Cross Adder Witch. One thing led to the next and that led to Bryce being born just as her fortune telling mama had predicted. And from the moment she could walk Bryce was trained in everything, from magic to circus acts, because her fortune telling mama was sure she was something special. She was trained in magic first. Once it had been established that Bryce was an earth-magic user, she was paired up with the only other earth-based witch in the circus, an Okinawan Habu Witch named Mika. Mika first taught Bryce how to guard her witch soul using Soul Protect and after she had learned how to do that, they moved onto the more difficult magics, Earth Based. Bryce's earth based magics were very strong, but they drained a lot of energy from her. The first time she ever performed her Sand Snake Trap, Bryce was unconscious for two days. Worried that this magic would hurt her baby more than help, her mama sent out some of the younger witches and made them capture a kishin egg, luring it with Innocent Souls stolen from nosy customers at the circus. The kishin that the younger witches managed to catch was extremely deformed and they didn't think that the scarf-lookalike was a kishin at first, until it attacked one of the witches for the innocent soul she held. Bryce's mama presented the kishin to her daughter and Bryce decided to see what it could do. Sham immediately started fighting for any innocent souls he could wrap his lime green body around and impressed Bryce. She gave it its name and a innocent soul and from then on, the two were inseparable. Not one for venturing far from the circus, Bryce and Sham remained within the fenced in walls for many years, feeding on only those who snuck around looking for proof that this was a supernatural circus. Over the years, the two of them managed to gather 7 souls for themselves, but Bryce never actually did anything. Seeing how her daughter was getting lax on using her magic, her mother decided it would be best if Bryce went out and had to fend for herself. Maybe then she'd be able to fufill the big destiny her mama thought she had. So that day, Bryce and Sham were kicked out of the circus and told that they weren't allowed back until they had done something amazing...problem was... Bryce didn't even know where to start. Personality: When one meets Bryce, people think she is arrogant and rude. She doesn't like to talk to strangers, due to most of them considering her just another circus freak, due to her unatural hair and eyes and the fact that she enjoys practicing handstands and flips in plain public. But when she does, the first things out of her mouth are usually insults. Because Bryce's mama is Jamaican, Bryce has a distinct Jamaican accent, but it's not as thick as her mother's. This makes it hard to understand what she's saying at sometimes which only serves to tick her off some more. Her attitude towards those people is passive and tends to ignore them more often than even acknowledge their presence. Sham is the one who spurs Bryce into action and makes her attack innocent people whenever he's hungry. But the rude attitude is more of a front than anything else. With her general mistrust of anything not coming from the circus, Bryce hides who she truly is from people. But when she's with family, or with Sham, Bryce reveals herself to actually be quite a caring girl. Though she's very reluctant to show it, she cares deeply for her fortune-telling-mama and her pet, Sham, and would do anything for either of them. Sham can't talk, at all, but Bryce doesn't have any trouble understanding him. After spending 75 years with the scarf, she's deciphered oll his little gestures to know exactly what he wants. Abilities: Technique Name: Soul Protect Effects/Description: Bryce is able to mask her soul and make it look like a normal human being's. But while she is doing this, she is unable to use any of her magic attacks. She is also unable to mask the corrupted soul hosted by Sham, so if someone senses that, they automatically know something isn't right with her. Technique Name: Sand Snake Trap Effects/Description: When Bryce places her hand on the ground, twin snakes made of hardened earth will emerge from the ground. The snakes then coil around their prey's body and trap them in the one spot, effectively removing the opponent's ability to maneuver. The snakes will remained coiled around the opponent until Bryce moves her hand from the ground or until Sham wraps around the opponent’s neck. It is possible to break out of this trap, but not for normal humans/meisters/weapons. They would have to have inhuman strength (eg. Ber) or an ability that gives them inhuman strength. Average or even above-average just won't cut it. This magic attack takes a medium amount of power, so Bryce can only cast it about 3 times per battle before needing to charge up. Technique Name: Earth Snake Guard Effects/Description: Bryce moves her hands as if she is directing an orchestra and a large earthen snake emerges from the ground and begins circling her. It continues circling until it's in a tight coil completely surrounding her, protecting her from any outward attacks. The coiling process takes about 30 seconds to completely surround her. The snake coil is airtight so she can only use this move for a short time, about 10 minutes before she needs fresh air. She also has to keep her hands moving or the magic will break and the shield will crumble. Now you're probably thinking that this would be a good technique for suffocating someone, but unfortunately, that won't happen. Whenever Bryce summons this spell it will only wrap arouind her, she can't direct it to anywhere else (like under the feet of her opponent). This spell doesn't take too much magic to cast, so she is able to cast it about 5 times per battle. Technique Name: Dig Away Effects/Description: Bryce is unable to fight in hand to hand combat, so sometimes the situation calls for a quick getaway. Horidasu allows Bryce to burrow down into the earth and dig her way out of the battle using her magic. The magic fills the tunnel back up as she goes through, so her opponent is unable to follow her through the tunnel. The magic required to use Horidasu is immense, so she is only able to use it once per battle. She will also be unable to use her most powerful attack, Earth Shock, if she uses this escape technique. Technique Name: Earth Shock Effects/Description: Earth Shock is Bryce's most devastating attack. She jumps down from a high point, such as a tree, and the shock waves are sent through the ground creating a concentrated earthquake (roughly a 15 ft radius around Bryce). If the immense amount of shaking isn't enough to disorient the opponent, stalagmites of rock (ranging from 1ft to 6ft) shoot out of the ground randomly, trying to skewer the enemy. The spikes, once there, will not disappear unless someone destroys them, so this move is also usefull for changing the battlefield. The shaking only last about 30 seconds, but is so intense that it can leave someone disoriented for quite a while. It also requires an immense amount of magic to use, so once this attack is used it will take several hours to recharge, making it impossible to use it more than once per battle. Combat Style: Bryce is completely unable to fight for herself in hand-to-hand combat. She is useless when it comes to that and would rather run than even attempt to hit someone. Most of her magic is on the defensive, so if she must fight she uses her powerful earth-based magic to attack her opponent. But if her magic isn't enough, Bryce has her trump card, her scarf. The huge green scarf is actually a deformed kishin egg, named Sham, that Bryce took in as a pet. Sham is quick and actually quite resilient to attacks despite its fragile appearance. Sham can fly through the air (max speed is ~20 mph) and attack Bryce's opponent of its own free will. Sham is her main form of offensive maneuver. He's relatively strong, despite his appearance. His form of fighting is hovering around the opponent and using guerilla-style tactics on the weakest spots. He'll come in and strike them somewhere where his opponent is vulnerable (eg. eyes, throat, solar plexus, etc...) and then retreat before they can retaliate. Sham doesn't look like he'd be able to cause much harm but his strikes actually do hurt. They feel just like a strong punch and when combined with striking sensitive areas are pretty effective. Besides striking, Sham will also use its long body to wrap around either the throat or their chest and attempt to squeeze the air out and cause strangulation. Though he isn't able to crush them like a toothpaste tube, the amount of pressure he does apply would easily leave a major bruise for weeks after should they manage to escape. Miscellaneous Information: Bryce's scarf isn't really a scarf at all. Sham is actually a very thin Kishin egg that Bryce keeps around as both a pet and a weapon. She also lets it eat any innocent souls that they may get. Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Roleplay Sample: The forest was quiet for the most part. Every now and then, you could hear a bird chirping or some bug making a buzzing noise. And of course the loud screech of a certain female witch as she got her butt kicked, again. Bryce skidded back as she blocked another hit with her arms, but the pain that shot through them was not something she enjoyed. Letting out another scream, she clapped her hands and began moving them back and forth in a mesmerizing manner. The ground shook and a large earth snake rose up from the ground encircling her and covering her in a snake-coil shield. Her opponent charged at the forming coil and she squealed just as the snake finished surrounding her. Bryce kept moving her right hand as she wrapped her left hand around her middle and coward down into a crouching position. A loud thumping noise sounded from the outside of the shield and Bryce whined and shook her head. "I'm nah comin' out! NEVER!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. The reply to her screams was another large thumping on the dirt snake. Whoever was out there wasn't giving up on trying to break through the hard packed earth. Bryce let out a sigh and switched to moving her left hand before the right one became cramped. She had to get out of here before her nutso opponent managed to finish her off. She could try digging her way out, but then she'd have to drop the shield and if the constant thumping was anything to go by, the thing out there wasn't going to give her and opportunity to burrow into the ground. Grumbling, Bryce stood up and decided, she was gonna have to run for it, and maybe, hopefully, get away from the psychopath outside her earth dome. She planted her feet and clenched her fists to stop them from moving. The first crack appeared on the inside of the snake and then another before the dirt crumbled and rained down on her. Bryce took the dust cloud as her cue and sprinted into action, bolting toward the nearest trees. Once she reached the trees, Bryce would be able to out run anybody. Her legs moved with incredible speed as she raced towards the clearing edge, but Bryce could hear her enemy gaining on her. Pushing herself to her limit, Bryce saw she was near the treeline. She clenched her muscles and lept, hoping to reach a lower branch and easily flip herself into the trees. She stretched out her fingers and reached for the small branch, just as her enemy grabbed her around the ankle. She felt her heart drop into her stomach as her fingers clutched air instead of branch and she fell, hitting the ground. Her instinctual magic kicked in and made the hard packed earth into a pit of soft sand as she landed, but the tiny grains still dug into her brown skin, irritating it. Her eyes closed tightly against the sand, she felt her assailant release its hold on her ankle and she forced herself to her knees, coughing out sand. She whirled around on her knees and turned to face the enemy, and was met with the paper-thin edge of a eight foot long light green scarf, who was floating a few feet above the ground. Now most people would wonder when they got drunk and had a whole bottle of happy pills and be confused why they were seeing flying scarves, but Bryce simply wiped the sand off her face and glared at the scarf. She began rubbing her head, her eyes never leaving the scarf. "Ow...that really hurt, ya'know," she pointed at the floating scarf who back off a little. "You big meanie." The scarf's "head" dove down and nudged itself underneath Bryce's hand as if it wanted her to pet it. She tried moving her hand away, but the scarf was persistent. "No," she said dodging its "head". "No, I will nah ease-up on you." The scarf slunk through the air so it was eye level with Bryce and nudged against her cheek, wrapping the other end around her waist. It yanked up and managed to pull the young witch out of the sand crater and onto the solid ground. Using its tail it brushed the sand off her pants and looked back up at her face. "Ya, good Shammy," Bryce sighed, rolling her eyes, and reached into her pocket pulling out a glowing blue orb, an innocent soul. Her pupils dilated as she stared at it then she released it, allowing it to float up into that air. A shudder went through Sham and it wrapped around the soul. It flared brightly within the green confines before disappearing. Another shudder ran through the kishin-scarf, and it launched into the air before settling back to Bryce's eye level. Sham wrapped its tail loosely around Bryce's neck and settled, its head barely touching the ground. "Come on, ya overgrown dish rag, let's head back fo' de circus."

Yoiii Alm~~ Lets get down to business >:3 History: Her history stops rather abruptly - it seems more like you just finished a sentence rather than finished her history. It all sounds like it happened a long time ago too (given she is 10 times the age of most of the other characters, but her history stops when it sounds like she would have been quite young still). Has she ever done anything, or has her life been simply living in the circus? I look forward to your answer! ^^ Personality: What makes people think she is a circus freak? Does sham mentally commune with her or verbally? :3 Otherwise this profile looks pretty darn good ^^ I think you could tidy it up a bit more (eg: you let in the naruto technique name for a spell) but otherwise I think you succeeded in making an interesting and original witch! |

Sorry about the History, Shinigami. When I was writing it out, my creativity totally drew a blank with how Bryce and Sham met and what they did after, so I sloppily threw the ending together. But now I added more to it, so hopefully it will help: Spoiler: click to toggle and I added more to her personality: Spoiler: click to toggle

I’m pretty happy with this :3 Before I approve anything though I just want to confirm; this is the sum total of her magic? She can’t fly, or turn into a snake, or anything else? |

No, she can't fly, that's Sham's job. But the snake thing, she isn't able to do that yet, but maybe she'll learn it later? I have a few ideas for her and Sham as they gain more experience and whatnot~ Edited by AlamoK, Mar 7 2011, 03:04 PM.

abilities Could someone break out of the sand snake trap? Could she cast the earth snake guard on an opponent to trap them and suffocate them? Do the earth spikes remain after earth shock is over, and roughly how large are they? What is the (rough) area that earth shock works in (radius) combat style You mention that she is not a direct fighter but all of her techniques (save earth shock) also seem non-combative. If you plan to have her fighting will this be an issue? If you plan on Sham doing most of the work could you mention that here? :3 I will certainly be interested to see how Bryce deals with combat in RP! If you do plan on having Sham as the main form of attack, could you give a rough estimate of how strong it is (ie could it squeeze someone like a tube of toothpaste, and/or punch straight through their body, or is it limited to choking around the throat). A rough idea of how fast it is would also be good (does it have superhuman speed or is it as slow as a snail). |

That's fine and I will approve this profile, but I warn that techniques that are as strong as your earth snake trap usually lead to people never allowing their characters to become ensnared ^__^;; In any case this is a great profile, and you have done a good job of modding it as well ~ sorry about the late reply! |
