Sorry for the delay. Edited my post... after days of deleting them and starting from scratch, and procrastinating, and trying to figure out a way to have Fox be "useful" in this environment... Finally just took bits and pieces of my discarded posts and added a bit to the end. :.

*cough* The quality of my posts will increase as the story progresses though. This one was kind of... forced.

Okay, finally... Here's my second character.

Oh! Wait, yea, I totally forgot to ask about something until now, Surusilmä... I just kind of assumed that that little extra info at the end hasn't been tried, but that's up to you... I can edit whatever is needed. :)



Name: Cătălina Miruna

Arcanum: The Hermit

Gender Identity: Female

Age of Appearance: 14

Weapon of Choice: N/A

Skill/Ability: Cătălina's power is something akin to the witches "scrying" ability. If given something belonging to any person, she can concentrate on the given item to "see" where the individual in question is at and, when holding her open hands in front of her, show a sort of hologram so the others can see. There is no sound at all, unless she manages to put an extreme amount of effort into the power. Also, she cannot give much of the background beyond the person in question. Meaning while she can see the person, she can't always show where, exactly, they are at, unless she tries to focus more on that particular situation.

Personality: Cătălina is usually pretty quiet, preferring to listen to conversations as opposed to take part in them. Despite her blindness, Cătălina loves to learn new things and has taken to listening to recorded books, movies and the like to make up for her lack of sight. After learning of something new, she usually spends a good deal of time, afterwards, contemplating different meanings to what was said and how it could influence everyday life, if it doesn't already. She feels most comfortable in libraries. Just the general atmosphere calms her and allows her to delve into her thoughts easily. While she has a great love for her quiet time, she has no objections to helping others when needed and, despite her teenage appearance, can be quite insightful when trying to find ones way through the day.

Physical Description: Cătălina stands at an even 5ft and weighs just around 110lbs. She has long, snow white hair that goes past her waist and is usually pulled back in a braid, though she has bangs that are always just above her eyes. Her naturally blue eyes are clouded over with silver, since the girl is, technically, blind (always has been).

Her outfit is a simple dress, blue with loose, short sleeves and the skirt of the dress goes just passed her knees. She wears a pair of simple white, sandal like shoes with the outfit and rarely wears any jewelry.

Extra Information:
With Cătălina's power, anyone else who's power can affect someone else through sight, Ailish for example, might be able to do so at a distance, since they can technically see the person she's focusing on...

I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at in the "extra" section.

Yea, I was thinking that didn't make much sense.

Basically, when Cătălina's vision is showing, one of the other characters' may be able to use their power on the person being shown, even at a long distance. The only one I can really see this working with is Ailish, maybe, unless Cătălina can somehow focus on an enemy, in which case... any could work..? That'd be tricky, though...

Anyway, using her as an example... With the person showing through Cătălina's vision, Ailish could see their aura's, meaning her manipulation power might work on them despite however far away they are/could be, since she can technically see them.

Despite being an iffy effect, it was still a thought that came to me when working on her.

Mm, I think that it would be better if it didn't work solely with Ailish, because I was going to put Cătălina in Pentacles, not Wands. Besides, I think that might make it a little awkward for you, since you'd essentially be roleplaying with yourself.

I didn't mean for her to work solely with Ailish, that was just the easiest example. I'd like to see it work for anyone, I just didn't know how that would work. See what I mean?

Lol, well, I don't get on the list of people it'll help. Unless he could touch them threw the visions.

Although, that starts to sound deadly, and Godly. "This morning, a man had his head cleaved off by a unknown assailant. Guards and police are stumped, as no signs of entry are present. Nor are there any signs of a struggle, or fight. Is as if the assailant was never truly there."

It wouldn't be that any attack would work. Only the special abilities that affect someone by sight, since you can't physically attack a hologram type thing... And, there's no sound, unless she puts a great deal of effort into it.

No offense, but you're the last person who should be criticizing others about godmoding. Did you get my PM?

@Pinx
I think I get it, but that's tough to work around, if you're not sure how it'd work. For the time being, is it alright if you nix that portion of the ability? At least until you figure out the mechanics of it?

Pinxe: I was making a joke on that, it wasn't meant to be serious. As in Lock attacking people throw visions. Ish a joke. I'm bad at jokes, me thinks.

Suru: No.... I actually didn't.... >.> and if your talking about the end of the post, I realize that's OP, but the idea of them being stuck to the ground, unable to move, just made them way to easy targets, more so considering his sword is five feet of pure blade, a foot of handle, and weighs around 15-16 pounds. If a Ghast can take blows from that, and not die, just say so. But tell me what it would do to one, and I'll edit accordingly.

If you mean him not getting hurt, the post says steel like body, it should be iron, but, meh, metaphors. If Ghast can chew/claw/tail-stab[is that event he right word?] threw iron though, just say so and I'll change it up in a jiffy. All I need to know is what extent of damage they can do.

Other than that, at full strength, he is OP, I'll admit. But, its a wavering ability. When he's 'exhausted' he'll look fine, and feel fine, but he loses his strength, tough body, speed, agility, healing, etc. At that point, well, he's screwed. Also, its not a sudden change, its gradual. So, his powers are always getting weaker, until he's basically slept, and/or had a meal. Or recharge some other way[like being healed by another member].

So, yeah, I'm good with changing up anything you want/need. Just need to know how to, what to, and to what extent. If you deem his ability to OP'd, I'm good with watering it down as well, just to what point.

I don't mind taking that part out at all, until more specifics get figured out. :) It is quite difficult to work with something if all details aren't know... such blurry lines in play, lol.

We're waiting on Pinx to post, but she's having some RL issues, so things are gonna be a little slow. I don't want things to move too quickly without her, especially since Ailish is Lady of Wands and we kind of need her around. XP
