Physical Appearance
 
"What are you staring at?!"

| 5'5" |

Elika's voice is particularly cultured, but can be dulcet, purring, or velvety if she's is feeling particularly bewitching. The girl's rich eyes pierce Gold, hinting that she might be a treasure. Becoming, full lips shelter a devilish smile. Elika’s Bistre hair is extensive, wavy, and sometimes animated. Her gorgeous Latino-like Copper skin is tender and silky-smooth. While Elika comes off as flimsy and frail, she gives off a very subtle vibe of a resilient and robust core. In spite of Elika not having the oh-so-desired hourglass shape, her body does curve and bend like the Nile. To fanboys' dismay, her chest is only of adequate stature. Lithe arms get tangled with the rest of her body when she dances, but otherwise are pre-programmed to hold up a good book or magazine. She holds the majority of her weight and physical confidence on her durable legs. She has a poised and sensual walk: wholly nimble as her hips roll like she had been wearing stilettos.

Notably, Elika has prim, Chocolate leo ears as opposed to human ones. Elika also has a wispy and elegant lion’s tail that nearly reaches her ankles. The tip is more fuzzy than the rest, and sometimes has gold bracelets on as decoration.

Elika's wardrobed can range dramatically, from oversize sweaters, to skin-tight nylon pants. From slutty skirts to ballroom dresses, nothing is out of the question! (However, she would never go about wearing a ballroom dress without a good reason.) As a dancer, she is not afraid to show off her body and its movement (provided that one looks with their eyes, not their hands). As much as Elika loves jewelry and accessories, she only wears them for special events, since they can be quite a bother in the high action atmosphere of these schools.

Personality
 
While Elika can be seductive, it's uncommon of her--usually, she's just a pill.

Elika's view on life is very Black and White. She's a loner, preferring to keep to herself and her books. That's not to say, however, that she's shy! Elika is very open about speaking her mind, no matter whose feelings might be hurt on the way. With that said, she isn't one to go out of her way to insult or hurt somebody if she can bury her face away in something that's of more interesting.

When she's feeling particularly wild, Elika might read a Mystery or even Fantasy novel and sink herself into it. But, most days, she reads thesis papers, science magazine articles, or other technical writing. It's not exactly fun, even to Elika, but at least it isn't as much of a waste.

Perfectionist at heart, she's one whose likely to aim for straight A's, and get angry over anything below that goal (even an A- would send her eyebrow on twitch-patrol). When set with a challenge, Elika aims for a perfect score, every time. Not only must it be perfect: It can't be done sloppy. Furthermore, like most overachievers, Elika's large ego will confidently set herself up in the way of the most difficult task.

Other than reading, Elika enjoys getting into a good argument. Often times, for no other reason than to argue, she'll provoke someone else's point until they're forced into a heated debate. She also likes to anger individuals, as that often gets them to argue faster. However, she herself has a short fuse and often times her plans backfire to the point of it getting lit.

She hates children. And people who talk too much. And old people. And... Well, actually, Elika hates just about everybody! She is not a people person, and though she's willing to get into a relationship if the right guy where to come around, it's likely she'd have difficulty tolerating the other individual. Elika often rejects people who think differently--or even act differently--from herself.

But for someone with so much faith in her abilities, you'd be surprised with how little she had in herself overall. For someone with such a fact-based personality, it's interesting that, of all things, Elika had taken up Dance as a hobby. Being able to move her body erotically to her favorite dances and diverting the eyes of men instantly can boost her self esteem and help her get back on her pedestal. Elika particularly likes the Samba and the Cha-Cha because of how she gets to move her feet and hips, and because eyes are always focused on the female partner--but she equally enjoys modern club dancing too, as more freedom and creativity can come out of them, and the preferred flowing body movements are, simply, fun for Elika. Though she's not usually one to go out and have fun, dancing is always the exception.

Specialized Field of Magic
 
Super Strength

Tau
 
Tau's have exquisite magic manipulation. Most Tau are only able to specialize in a particular field, and certain aspects about them are effected by which field they specialize in.

Bite
Mane
Roar
Biting is one of five classic Tau skills that usually accompany their specialization. Contrary to the name, biting doesn't have to require ones mouth or even ones teeth.
Male Tau are bulkier than the females, have better defense and much more resistant to damage. (N/A for Elika.)
Trademark to the lion, Taus have adopted roaring as a familiar pastime. Many Tau have even linked their skills into it!
N/A
N/A
Elika's a Female.

N/A
Elika can only roar for commercial purposes.


Swipe
Huntress
Next to teeth, a Tau's biggest weapon are their arms. Their magic can really pack a punch when designated from this area--and it's usually more accurate and easy than the former.
Female Tau are smaller, swifter and more agile than the males. However, they're not supernaturally more so than humans.
This is where Elika's abilities lay. She's too young and inexperienced--or maybe unable altogether--to enter other branches.
Like all female Tau, Elika's gifted with grace. Though she's quiet, fast, and small, however, she doesn't have supernatural swiftness.

Magic Spells
 
Lion's Strength
Elika can life up, over her head, 1.2 tons, without too much difficulty. (Anything heavier, though, proves as a challenge!) However, it may not seem like she's aided while lifting anything, her body's magic is what's at work. Under Elika's skin, her muscles aren't as well defined as you might otherwise think. More importantly than how much she can lift, though, is the power of her punches. Elika can break through a brick wall or even a concrete one (provided it's as thick as your typical wall) albeit not in one swing (five well-positioned blows minimum could break through a simple brick wall, but tougher material takes more work). Chipping away at stone is almost childs' play for this willowy girl. Pure titanium, and anything stronger, she could not put a dent in, unless it was, for whatever reason, it was thick as tissue paper.

Elika's bones are not any tougher than a human's. Meaning that if she were to unleash a super powerful punch, it'd likely shatter every bone in her hand. Or, at least it would, had the punch not been magically enhanced. Elika's bare hand never has to touch her target. Between her fist and the object that's getting hint, is a layer of the invisible magic that protects and cushions her hand from getting damaged from the impact. (This does NOT mean she can go around, sticking her hand in molten lava or constantly put her hand in the way of a slamming door. Piercing objects can still cut through the small magic barrier too.) The barrier shields only the knuckle portion of her fist, and only when she sends out punches.

Fatigue sets in for her just as it would anyone else. Feeling fatigued means that her magic is stalled until she takes a time out to catch her breath and build strength back up. The time it takes to "catch her breath" depends on how hard and how long she pushed herself. Going from ZERO to FULL though takes a good night's rest. A brief break from using her magic, though, is usually enough of a cool down to allow her to continue. She does not have extraordinary recovering techniques, so though she can keep up with the tempo of the group, she cannot surpass them.

Training
 
Dancing Princess
Elika knows how to dance! Particularly Latin dances. Her favorites are the Samba and the Cha-cha, as well as modern club dancing. She's been dancing since she can remember, but it's also a guilty pleasure of hers. She's quiet good, for someone who has been dancing for so long, but no better than anyone else who has had such experience.

Fighting
(Skill Level: Proficient. An even fight would occur with Elika and someone who has less than 3 years of training.)
Elika tried a couple different fighting styles, but none fit her. She's still working on creating her own style which is highly inspired by the dancing that she enjoys doing. The style, inspired mostly by boxing, is dubbed "Weaving." It involves being quick on your feet and agile, more than it focuses on strength. Elika likes it because, once she can land a good hit, it's usually enough of a surprise and knock out the other. (At least, back home it was.) Weaving is a fist-fighting based attack style where the user uses their small stature to their advantage. The fighter bobs and weaves by bending at the waist and dipping down underneath or to the side of incoming blows. There is no blocking involved in Weaving, though like in boxing, the fighter blocks their face for extra defense. Dodging an attack instead of blocking it allows the fighter to move forward while an attack is being blown, and lay one in return while the opponent is most vulnerable. The idea is that if you're never hit, you can never lose.

Inventory/Equipment
 
Spiked Brass Knuckles
This is not a weapon she often uses, but it's good to have just in case. They're a simple pair of brass knuckles, but on each ring is a spike. (The spikes are only three quarters of an inch long.) They really speak to the inner lioness inside of her.

Ani.A P.L.E.S.E.D v1.0: Animal Adapted Poly Linguistic Enlightenment And Service Extension Device
This little device comes standard to all students with animalistic ears enrolling at either AEA or AMTI. Using a combination of Bluetooth technology and a unique brand of communication magic, this little beauty will translate any known, human language into your native language as it's spoken with only a point-five second lag. Aesthetically, it's either blue or red pending on your school colors, however unlike the human designed ones that clip on the ear this is a two piece stud, a magnet holds the pieces together pressing the skin between them for those who don't have a pierce and don't want to... Optionally those that already have a pierce can change the magnet for a post and clutch, though this isn't very welcome by the staff. Please enjoy your stay on the Twin Campus.

Limbus Bracelet
Stipulation: Can only be obtained by players who have earned 3 or more total credits with any characters. (meaning they do not have to spend any credits or have available ones)
Posted Image

Special Note: This item is required to undertake Limbus challenges.

This small obsidian intertwined wire bracelet has a single pink sapphire that glitters with an eerie light. Outside of Limbus areas, this bracelet does not hold any special effects. The bracelet is a sign and key pass allowing students to enter special parts of the forbidden Limbus realms for both training purposes and in attempt to gain new found power without spending credits. If a student is defeated (knocked unconscious or even killed), the Limbus Bracelet will teleport them out of the area, restore their life to critical status, and place them in one of the hospital beds in the medical ward. They will completely heal any student whom completes the Limbus challenge and teleport them back to the Muriel Grounds/Broken Courtyard. The Bracelet is also used to keep track of Limbus areas the character has completed and newfound powers they have obtained

N.U.P.L.E.S.E.D. V 1.0: Nanotechnology Universal Poly Linguistic Enlightenment And Service Extension Device

A Major upgrade to the previews PLEASED equips, while the others had to be different due to the differences in the ears, this PLEASED isn't seen and isn't attached to the exterior of the ear. Using biological nanotechnology, this microscopic devise is injected into the blood current and drives to the brain, where it finds the area that processes sounds and installs there. Powered by the own living being, it doesn't use batteries and provides in-the-moment translation from all known languages.
