Celana Icarus

Appearance:

Name: Celana (Lana) Icarus

Gender: Female

Age: 23

Meister: Unclaimed

Weapon Form:


A Saxophone. Buttons all gold, and polished with the actual horn-pieces a dark and faded color as though untouched for a long time.
Basic Abilities
-Certain songs can change the appearance of the player, putting them in disguise
-Playing certain notes would create a pied piper affect to summon Kisshin
-When not in weapon form, can sing and have the same effect. Screams cause an immense feeling of dread, and can, if powerful enough, deafen one for about 5 to 10 seconds.
-The musics range isn't superhuman by any means. The volume does not effect the strength of the effects, but the range is a factor to be considered. The sound is based on the environment. In a hollow church with great acoustics, the noise is everywhere. In a place outside where sound carries into open space, the range is smaller. The effect still has its effect if its harder to hear, but its better for her to fight indoors in a place with good acoustics when fighting multiple enemies, which can be inconvenient.

Genre abilities
(Various types of music played by the saxophone causes different effects)
Romance-"Woos" The enemy or opponent to join the side the Meister is fighting for. This gets stronger the longer the song is played (i.e. the more posts there are that the meister is playing a love song). Not immediately effective but becomes harder to resist over time until extremely difficult to not give in. Attacks by her side can knock someone out of this effect and harm them, whereas if the side her opponent is on has someone attack the hypnotized foe, the hypnotized foe will fight back, for the side Celana is on. Lasts 3 posts after playing is done.

Blues-By playing a blues song enemy morale drops about 50% as well as the will to fight. Depending on the energy level of the Person that hears this and/or mental state this could make them drop to different levels of morale. If you are a very bubbly and happy person when you fight for example you'd drop to a very calm and unenthused battle state. If you are already in a very somber or lazy state then you would either just sit and feeling sorry for yourself or fall asleep (again, leaving it to the opponent unless fighting an NPC)

Jazz- Only useful for energy blasts. When playing songs in this genre or singing, Celana can capture them in her mouth or through the horn on her weapon form, convert it into energy she can use, and fire back a penetrating beam. The more energy collected from her opponent the stronger the beam.

Ska-This is a wildcard. Playing Ska can either damage the player or the opponent, either way the music is a intense cluster that would place confusion onto either side at random and may even have them out cold. There is not a lot of rhyme or reason to this genre and people this has been used on have done random things that can either hinder or completely elate the player.

Ska Effects:

Love Interest: None At This Time

Appearance: Lana is a very petite woman with just enough curves to keep from being a complete pencil shape, standing about 5'5 and weighing a healthy 137lbs. Soft, long pink hair cascades down her back in a slightly spiky and untamed mess as she doesn't spend much time with grooming. Her eyes are a stark blue against her pale skin and hair. For her size, she has quite small and delicate hands and feet.
She is usually seen wearing whatever suits her personality and doesn't typically stick to one outfit, though her style is usually the same. Some frills here and there and bows to accent her feminine form. If she ever wears heels in an informal way, they are small and barely noticeable. However, if there ever was a formal event she was invited to she would definitely be the girl to always overdress.

Personality: Lana is quiet; the majority of the time her emotions would remain a mystery to those around her but close friends and family. Centered and clear headed, she enjoys bringing different perspectives to a conversation albeit in a very soft-spoken manner. Whenever she does speak up however, it is truly because she has something to say. To others she seems somewhat moody and stuck up when in truth shes a little shy and doesn't concern herself with the Drama of others. She has a love for all things girly but will not shy away from boyish mannerisms, and if among men she will take up some of those mannerisms along with them until they part from her side. Despite her shyness she does have a love for the spotlight and opens up like a flower to an audience. She is truly a star under the spotlights.
Her point of view on fighting is that its not necessary to actually fight. She wishes to solve things with diplomacy though her wishes are never granted. Who could grant them if she is always battling Kisshin?

Likes: Sweets, Peace, Singing, Being in the Spot light, flowers, shopping, and relaxing.

Dislikes: Fighting, not being taken seriously, sour food, and ill-fitted clothing.

History: Lana grew up unaware of the monsters in the shadows and attempted to lead a life of peace. Her aspiration was to be a singer and after much practice she eventually got her wish. She got the chance to perform on a stage singing for a small audience, but people had come to listen to her song none the less. Lana was then sent a request to perform for a much bigger audience and invited to join a pop culture icon onstage, as well as working with what was then a famous girl band. Things were great...
...Until the girls of the band showed her what they were really doing. One night she walked in on a particularly grotesque scene of the girls with their hair matted and the stench of alcohol everywhere with white powder strewn about the tables. Realizing that this was not what she wanted in life she left this girl band but not without repercussions.
Out on the streets with home far away from the big city she had to live in in order to join this band, She went hungry and homeless for a while. She was attacked by a group of men asking for what they deemed as 'a good time' when she discovered her abilities as a saxophone. When they had left and all was said and done, she was contacted by a field agent who gave word of what she was exactly to her. She was taken to the school and given a place to sleep and eat as she studied exactly what she was.
Its been a few years since shes come out of the school and she does have a few souls under her belt, though nothing to brag about. Lana is currently trying to get her singing career back, this time working alone. She is a b-rate celebrity that is struggling to go up the ranks. She has high hopes for her future and simultaneously doubts she will make it.

Have You Read the Rules?
"Let's Go Soul Resonance!" (*cough* even though ive only watched one episode and just really love the concept and if i did something wrong I'm sorry. Ness knows me personally)

While I have only been a mod here for...since yesterday really... This is so far my favorite character. It's just so creative. And while many go for power, you are more like a buffer/debuffer character, making for a great team member. I love the idea!

Very interesting. But how long does it last after you stop playing? And what happens if you lure it to your side and then someone on your side attacks it while it is fighting for you? I'd think that would snap someone out of it, after all, it was just attacked by your side.

Quote :

Jazz-Increasing players ability, the few offensive attacks Lana has that attacks directly. 'Life' or in this case energy is directly ripped from an opponent and into the Saxophone. The Energy collected then concentrates into a beam that fires out like a laser gun (or bullets mind you) at the opponent. The more energy collected the stronger the beam

Far less important, a missing period at the end. Actually worth mentioning: how does it rip this energy away? what would that look like? How great is the range of this ripping away? and what kind of damage does the beam do? blunt force? penetrating?

You need a system here. If it's a wildcard, you need a way of figuring out what happens? Perhaps a dice system? You write out 6 or 12 or however many possibilities, and roll dice on say... here? and link it back to prove the dice? it's hard for a player to be truly random and now most often bent it to their will...

What's the music's range? Does volume of the music effect how strong the effects are? So thus if I am farther away the effects are slower and weaker?

Wrong key phrase at the bottom. Re-read the rules please. That one was from the other site.

Aw, aren't you a sweetheart? ^.^ I used to be an admin on InfamousRPG before it died down after a good few healthy years, and I have to say you're rebuttals are impressive. I changed the code. You see, I put this on the old site but felt the seriousness of what I wanted to rp and the lax'ness of the old site did not meet it. I kinda copied and pasted with a bit of tweaks here and there. okay, so in response:

Romance: You make a good point. Lets say that it would last for three posts after the song is done being played. You make a good point, they could be snapped out of it in theory, but this would depend on how long they have been under the 'spell' of the song and how fatal the blow would be by her side. Now, if said 'hypnotized' opponent was attacked by the team opposing Lana, they would fight back against their team mates. A bit hard to follow, if I need to break it down let me know.

Jazz: Mm, I see this is the part I was running short of ideas. Hmm. What I intend now for this is that mid-energy-based-attack by her opponent, the saxophone can capture it through the horn (or if she's not in her weapon form, through her mouth) and convert it into energy usable by Celana's means. This wouldn't work for physical attacks, naturally. A penetrating beam would be used in this case.

Ska: What a splendid idea! I'll do this right away~

The musics range isn't superhuman by any means. No, the volume does not effect the strength of the effects, but the range is a factor to be considered. The sound is based on the environment. In a hollow church with great acoustics, the noise is everywhere. In a place outside where sound carries into open space, the range is smaller. The effect still has its effect if its harder to hear, but its better for her to fight indoors in a place with good acoustics when fighting multiple enemies, which can be inconvenient. Anything else? ^^

Ska Possibilities:
[using one dice to find them]

1
The Cyclops

Gives the player, or Celana herself if not in weapon form, enhanced vision. Able to predict the next players movement for one turn and make judgement ahead of time.

2
Broken Reed
For two turns, Celana cannot speak, sing, or emit any noise as a sax.

3
Berserk
All effects of the other genres are put into action, increased in power doublefold simultaneously. Jazz Genre effects gather from Celanas energy alone and are able to fire off continuously. 2 Turns.

4
Fragmented Song
The Genres mesh, Celana becomes extremely confused as well as the player. They can attempt to attack or defend themselves, but can wind up just hurting one another. 3 turns.

5
Mastered Composition
A new song is formed simultaneously between the player and Celana [Or just Celana alone.]. This song can go to any genre, and the effect of the genre is amplified tenfold and effects last one post longer. 1 post.

6
Stage Fright
Celana and the player both faint, collapsing on their enemy and remaining unconscious for the rest of the fight, and the day.

These replies are all reasonable. However the app isn't edited to reflect tehse ideas. So I will assume you wanted an opinion first. In which case, they seem quite reasonable. I love the "Ska" music effects options. And I am impressed by your unbiased. 3 possible great effects, 3 possible terrible effects. It's even and not biased for or against your character.

Edited. Thank you ^^

Approved for use! ^~^
