Hyakuji 2.0 Template Character Name: Walpurgis Uhrmacher Gender: Female Age: 17 Height: 5'5 Weight: Nein. Description or Image of Character Appearance: Casual Wear Occupation: Student Grade Level: 3rd Year Powers/ Abilities: Continuum Control Equipment You Have: - Witch outfit and spares - Smartphone - Small polished crucifix Residency Request: Yuki 321 Schedule: Homeroom Teacher: Lavender 1) Science 2) Survival Studies 3) Cooking Personality Description: Walpurgis is a strong willed person that brims with quiet confidence, and acts in a subdued fashion most of the time. While warm and friendly, she maintains strict self control and dislikes large shows of emotion. This restraint applies even towards her family. She does dress rather skimpily, but that is more of a result of her lack of shame. That said, she is not interested in things like romance or lewd actions. In that sense, she may be seen as a real killjoy. She prefers to be proactive in her actions. Combined with her mild heroic streak, that means she will go out of her way to protect strangers in need. However, she draws the line at heavy risk. While she is secure in her strength, Walpurgis is not going to go into situations where she has no easy way out if she can help it. Fighting like a cornered animal is one of those excessive displays of emotion she so dislikes, after all. That said, while she is okay with fighting, she is definitely not fine with murder. While she does recognize there are individuals so depraved or dangerous that even she must fight to kill, for the most part she strives to keep others alive. In normal cases, she draws the line just before self-sacrifice. Personal History: Walpurgis comes from what is considered to be a cursed family. It seems that there are quite a few enemies that are after the Uhrmachers' blood. Sometime in the 1980s, the beginning of their private little war took them by surprise. How could they have seen it coming? After all, they did nothing to deserve such a fate. They could be considered a neutral party in all affairs, being good Christian people who didn't interact much with others or meddle in things that weren't their problem. Yet somehow, they seemed to make lifelong foes with ease. How could a family that could start a blood feud just by going to church not be considered cursed? And so they carried out their private little war, with them against the unreasonable, unthinking hatred that seemed to infect most people they met. The environment Walpurgis grew up in was one of constant strife and loss. Every day, she would have to endure constant harassment and assaults by people she knew or wished she never knew. She grew up not knowing lasting friendship or peace, always having to move from place to place and abandoning the few people that did not bear any grudges against her. Hearing about deaths in the family was surprisingly rare, though it sometimes led to the survivors envying the ones who passed on. Added on to this was the fact that she was born a deviant from the mundane origins of her family. Out of everybody in her line, she was the only one who had supernatural powers. The stress of hiding her secret and surviving the strife built up, almost breaking her in the end. If she had become a nervous wreck, nobody could have blamed her for it. But she did not choose the easy way out. Instead of succumbing to despair, she chose to grow past it and live. Mere survival wasn't enough for her, even if she didn't know if her powers would let her change what seemed to be fate. While it was a gruelling process, she struggled for years and years to overcome the overwhelming pressure of her family's unlucky destiny. There were times when she almost gave up. When she lost one of her eyes to a vicious attack, her family even chided her for going against what they felt to be part of the great trial that they had to endure. But to honour her promise to herself, she continued to try and make something of her life, no matter how hopeless it seemed. Understanding that she would only be defeated if she were to stay with her family, she decided to leave and change her name to what it was now. Call it a futile rebellion, but she had to reinvent herself to be more than an unfortunate who was tossed about by fate. And so came the idea for her witch-like garb, to declare herself to be the curse's master rather than a mere victim. No longer would she stand by and let life make her its plaything. Perhaps it would've ultimately been more merciful to let herself become a casualty of the never-ending war that consumed their lives. Even now, she continues to struggle against the unreasonable madness that turns fate against her family. Her arrival at Hyakuji was not the end to her part in the Uhrmachers' history, but just another chapter of the struggle that had no answer in sanity. However, there is hope that this could bring about their salvation. Walpurgis may be the only one of her line who can settle this curse with finality. Mashed Potatoes? There is no spoon.

Axial Warp and Hypothetical World are gonna be what needs patching on the powers front, but they won't be the only thing to need fixing in this bio. For Axial Warp, I think you really do need to better clarify how it functions in context. When you say 'alter directions' for example, there's a difference between say, shunting them to the left, and somehow throwing them back exactly the way they came. It also needs some restraint - five feet range is fine enough, but five 'human sized' distortions could completely and utterly defend her, whilst without seeming limit on how long she can sustain them. A possible compromise might be that she has a max of five, and can use up all five at once if she wants to, but after she's exhausted the supply has to wait a small recharge period perhaps? Hypothetical World's a bit simpler an issue, in that it mostly needs clarification of execution - namely the concentration factor. Is it a hard, narrowed focus? Does she just casually have to remember the fact she's using it? What happens if it goes on too long or people get too far away? Stuff like that. Maybe reduce the number of people she can affect, given herself is given a free pass, but I would say it depends on how you subsequently limit it. Perhaps the biggest thing in need of patching though, is the character's History. Because as it stands, its vague and disconnected from the rest of the bio. How is the family considered 'cursed'? Whats this 'private war' about? You mention the 'environment' Walpurgis grew up in, but say nothing about it - was she constantly losing family members? Forced to move a lot? Regularly under attack? You define it by how she reacted to it, but don't say a thing on what she reacted to. There's keeping details hidden for the sake of a reveal, but there are basic facts of her life missing in this. As for why its disconnected - none of it ties into why her casual wear is a skimpy witch themed outfit. And there's no mention or address of her particularly abnormal abilities in the backstory, whether as an incidental coincidence or somehow related to her family's misfortunes. |
