Character Name: Nerissa 'Eris' Mckenna
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Height: 5'1
Weight: 110
Description or Image of Character Appearance:

By day, she is a human girl of African descent with dark skin, hair, and amber yellow eyes. A snazzy dresser, she is rarely seen without the latest in fashion and trends. Her hair is long and usually worn in a hime-cut. But during the night, she is 'Eris M'; a musical defender of the galaxies. Her hair is a bright silvery blue in this form, and her outfit is in the form of a royal blue school uniform (with an armored chest) and matching go-go boots.

Occupation: Intergalactic Magical Girl Pop Sensation/Student
Grade Level: Freshman
Powers/ Abilities:

Musical Combat

Using musical notes and sound waves, Nerissa can physically attack or influence an opponent. The severity of the attack, as well as its effectiveness, is dependent upon the genre she uses. A dark and angry Death Metal growl can give very different results as compared to a Blues or New Soul sound. However, as long the song is playing or she can somehow recite its lyrics with her voice, her powers may either weaken or fade altogether within the heat of combat.

Regardless of the genre used, the same effect is received. The sounds are head-splittingly loud and the depending on the blast's size can cause an opponent to be off-balanced and incapacitated. It's range, however, is usually short and may only affect the specific target and a few surrounding nearby. Often times, it gradually picks up on strength.


  • First post (singing for one post) - The target feels dizzy, but can always bounce back/
  • Second post (singing for two posts) - Dizziness turns into nausea. Sometimes, a sickly feeling can felt in the stomach as a piercing headache slices through their ears.
  • Third post (singing for three posts) - The combined nausea and dizziness can cause one to come off balance and her voice seems to exacerbate the problem.
  • Fourth post (singing for four posts) - The combined nausea and dizziness can cause one to come off balance and her voice seems to exacerbate the problem.
  • Fifth post (singing for five posts) - It's hopeless. The target is either screaming in pain or knocked out cold.**


**Overexertion of this ability can also weaken Nerissa, causing her to feel some immediate fatigue or to shift back into her civilian form.
Music Magic

Exceptionally gifted in the realm of music and composing, it's no surprise that there is something magical about it all. Music magic is the source of her abilities, something that she was born with and is an ability that runs through her family's female line. However, this power does have the potential to be rather screwy, especially due to her young age and inexperience with living on Earth as a protector. She has a tic that, when she sings, her powers can go haywire. Freezing ponds, or making a mess of chem lab!

With the right amount of training, this could be combated, but as for now, watch out for flying projectiles when she busts out in a rendition of Aaliyah's, 'One in a Million'!

Her incantations, or spells, are usually the titles of her favorite songs.


  • Beethoven's 5th -
    Currently, there is only one spell that works as a small shield against another long-ranged attack. The opening chords of the song could be heard as she ducks down and a force field covers her, and renders her opponent's attack useless (or thrown back towards them) after a post. Several posts must pass for her to use it again. It's only currently useful for smaller ranged attacks like hand to hand combat or small projectiles.


Magically Enhanced Physiology

As a 'magical girl', often times, this would fall under her overall appearance and manner of fighting. Her transformation sequence, the way she calls her attacks, and how she heals after her fights are all because of her physiology and non-earthly origin. Her hair changes from brown to a light bluish-silver and her body seems to endure the pain of most physical attacks without pulling back. This DOES NOT mean that she can't get injured, but it ensures that she can keep up within a fight and stay on her feet until she's been considerably weakened. A bloody nose or a scratch may barely sting, but several pummels and blows can and will incapacitate her.

Musically Talented

Back on her home planet, she was one of their most prized celebrities, backed with a band and stage equipment to really drive her performances home. But even bared down and away from all of the glitz and glamor of the past, there still lingers a musically advanced soul. Her fingers, ever nimble, can glide over a piano with ease and the math signatures found in a Beethoven or a Tchaikvosky piece seems to delight her as much as a song performed by Utada Hikaru.

Nerissa not only is musically gifted, she is musically passionate.

Equipment You Have:

Quite a long list!


  • Wardrobe (which includes plainsclothes and different variations of the girl's uniform and a few skirts with shorts sewn into them by request).
  • Her favorite pieces of jewelry
  • Fragrances
  • Makeup. She's a huuuuge supporter of companies like E.L.F. and Sephora. Humans have such great taste!
  • A few stuffed animals
  • An acoustic guitar that she practices with. Yes, she can play Wonderwall.
  • An entire box set of the series 'Jem' with a laptop to play it on. (She's been addicted to the old cartoon since a year ago, and she tends to quote it during fights).
  • And finally, her 'bracelet', which transforms into a wand shaped like a glittering microphone that she doles her musical sense of justice on the baddies!
  • The pinkest, girliest, bed set you can find.



Residency Request: Fudo


Schedule:
Homeroom Teacher: Lavender
1.) History
2.) The Arts
3.) Supernatural Studies

Personality Description:

In spite of her preppy looks and love of anything and everything pink and girly, Nerissa is clearly more than just a pretty face. During classes, she is particularly heated and is open to discussions of things like injustice, sexism, etc. As an immigrant to this planet, she is always learning about earth culture and is always eager to discuss it. With that said, some of the things she may say can come off as ignorant or highly insensitive.

But she means absolutely well and will always apologize and try to rectify her behavior. Because, as she feels as a protector of this planet, she must always be aware and understanding of the people around her. She usually a peppy and upbeat individual, with some hidden depths.

*extra - Human language speaking patterns, whether it's Japanese or Mayan dialect, tend to come out as extremely formal and complicated when she speaks them. So, instead of saying, "Hello Bob, how are you?", Nerissa might say, "Greetings, significant individual of which I speak to on the book of face with! How are you on this pleasant day of Thursday?"

*An even better example would be Starfire, from the Teen Titans if you're still confused.

Personal History:

Nerissa is a young Alien ambassador and musician from the Planet Eris, of which she is also a member of its royal family. A planet based within a different dimension, she was sent to earth on after her fifteenth year out of a desire to learn more about the universe around. Her parents; highly esteemed relatives of Eris' royal family, decided that Earth would be a perfect destination because of the 'lowered intelligence of its dominant life-forms' (Erisian humor is rather biting, go figure).

Nerissa adopted a human surname and a fake background of hailing from Louisiana from a military family. Currently, she takes classes during the day, and by night (and sometimes in between class), fights the enemies of truth and love with the power of song.

Mashed Potatoes? "Why yes, I'd love to imbibe in the potatoes of mashed, but I am afraid there is no earthling shoveling instrument of which you people describe as a 'spoon'?"

Thank you for your profile!
I have looked over your character, and would like the following edits to be made before I can approve of the profile.

Currently, the power section is too vague for me to be able to approve of this profile. For the offensive powers, there will need to be more clarification on what kind of damage her powers can do to other people, and a range in which she can attack from since I assume that the Music Magic and Musical Combat are both ranged.

For damage, I would recommend either comparing, or giving detail of what kind of injuries the powers can cause. There will also need to be detail on how that damage is done, since there currently really isn't any description of how Musical Combat actually hits the opponent.

For Musical Magic, I would really recommend using a list of spells, since at the moment, the power does seem very large in its scope, and would probably count as multiple powers as it is now. I would recommend creating one spell under Musical Magic to start off with, and then use upgrade periods to extend that list of spell.

Finally, Magically Enhanced Physiology. This is probably the easiest one to address since all I really need to know is what has been enhanced, and to what degree. I would just recommend keeping in mind that the more attributes that are enhanced, the weaker the enhancements will need to be in order to keep this power counted as only one power.

If you have any questions, feel free to post them in this topic, or contact myself, or another member of staff.

Once you have made all requested edits, please a reply on this topic so that I know the profile is ready to be reviewed again.

Thank you for the edits!
Unfortunately there will is still some more clarifications required before I am able to approve of this profile.

For Musical Combat, I would like to know the range she can affect someone from, and some more specific description on what the attack does exactly since at the moment it is still quite vague. If you would like to give it a system of damage, I would recommend maybe using a charge type limit system (e.g. charged for 1 post, it can do x, charged at 2, it can do y).

For Musical Magic, I would just like the it be changed from minutes to posts since combat costs are usually only worth a few seconds, and it is difficult to keep track of time when it is in minutes rather than posts. I would also like the part about it either neutralising or returning attacks to be clarified. For example, can it only reverse attacks that are below a certain scale?

Finally, the Enhanced Physiology. It will need some more clarifications on how much her endurance is boosted. First of all, is it only her resistance to pain? Or does she also take less damage? If she does also take less damage, then how much is her resistance? I would recommend using examples of what kind of attacks would, and would not affect her if you opt for the damage resistance. If you are simply going for the pain resistance, without the damage resistance then just making it clear it is only that is enough on its own.

Thank you!

All that I would like to ask is for the Musical Combat's final stage to be bumped up from 4 posts to 5 posts, and the profile is good to be approved!

Sorry, I worded my last post badly. I meant changing the four post one to five posts.
Quote:
 
Fourth post (singing for four posts) - It's hopeless. The target is either screaming in pain or knocked out cold.**
Fifth post (singing for five posts) - The full attack is complete. She stands over her attacker in victory. "Another one bites the dust!" she cries.


The bold text part is currently what happens after four posts, and I meant moving it so that it takes five posts instead for that to happen. There doesn't necessarily have to be anything new that happens during the fourth post, just that the bold part to be pushed to the fifth post since it is sort of too sudden as it is now.

The fifth post thing is a little too strong, so I would recommend just removing it, and using the current fourth post one to the fifth post and leaving the fourth post the same as the third.
