Vivian Groundbreaker

[[Main]]

Name: Vivian Groundbreaker (Currently being used, other aliases used include the "Crystal Fox". Her true name will be revealed in time.
Gender: Female (Usually, Shapeshifters have no fixed gender)
Age: 21
Race: Shapeshifter/Earth Spirit Hybrid
Alliance: Suzaku

Homeland: Vivian is from a small, secluded land buried deep in the mountains. Her village hierarchy is based on a form of spirit worship with the spiritual leaders leading the community. Their religion is devoted to the Earth Spirits, and very infrequently, an Earth Spirit may bear a child. These reclusive spirits are all feminine in nature, and as such, the village’s leaders are all female. Any females with the Earth Element are accepted into the clergy and all men with it are kept solely to create more with the gift. The ungifted men work in the mines to gather more precious metals and gems to be used in worship and sacrifice. Their ores are some of the best in their area.

Physical Description [Appearance]: As a Shapeshifter (Vivian prefers the term, “Doppelganger”) has no set appearance. Her true form is that of an Earth Spirit that takes the shape of a Kitsune. The little tektek avatar below is an taste of her form upon entry. While I can't really do much more then this at the moment, her posts will inform you of her current appearance, often with a tektek avatar to accompany it. Tendencies include large assets, grey eyes, and bare feet. These are only tendencies and she is not restricted to these characteristics. However, she always has an amber choker made of 6 beads. These are not necessarily visible.


Ranking: Suzaku Hunter

Personality: Vivian lives life like she has all the time in the world, which she practically does. She now lives to suit her own means, with little regard for good or evil, right or wrong. Her morals are seriously questionable and she does what she does for her own emotion. Or Gael. There's no real difference. As a daughter of an eternal earth spirit, she can never die, though she can be delayed from returning indefinitely. As many earth spirits grow old, they retreat to the solace of the earth and spend their lives in meditation. Vivian is barely even a child by their standards, though more vulnerable then her kin. She was extremely self-serving and self-centered before meeting Gael. She has no wish to end Sentou Gaukin or the Suzaku, but the Suzaku offers her something that the school hasn't been able to match. Entertainment. After all, if the school is the victory, then where's the fun? Carnage, blood, chaos.... So much more entertaining than peace. As of now. Of course, Suzaku winning would dull things down as well.... She also has an obsession with blood, shiny objects, and a severe fear of heights. She is at her best compassionate, charismatic, brilliant, passionate, and resourceful. She is at her worst petty, angry, rude, violent, and crass.

Warrior Class: Ninja/Spellcaster
Sub-Class: Martial Artist/Sage
Elemental Affinity: Earth

History/Background Story: Vivian is the youngest of fourth siblings and undoubtedly the most immature of the four. Their father was a doppelganger who somehow managed to impregnate four different elemental spirits. He died several months after the last suspected incident; it is unsure which one got him. Vivian's mother left her to the clergy immediately after birth. The priestess were amazed. They had never had a child as powerful in the Earth element as this babe, and the daughter of an Earth Spirit no less. She was taken in and raised. Over the next 13 years she was pampered and educated, but never truly accepted, always held aloof. During her childhood, she had virtually no control over her shapeshifting powers, though the clergy did teach her Earth magic to the best of their ability, which she despised and thought was unreliable. When puberty hit, her control over her shapeshifting suddenly stabilized, leaving a permanent shift form as well, extremely hard diamond crystal, a remainder of her ancestry. At this point she was tired of life in the covenant and promptly fled, with almost no suspicion thanks to her new powers. She spent months traveling the mountains to find her mother, using her abilities to provide for herself. Eventually her mother appeared before and stayed with her while answering her daughter's questions. Most importantly she learned of her Earth Spirit powers, finished her training that she had received from the covenant, and learned of her other sibling. Her mother left her all too soon, and with nothing better to do, she headed out to find her siblings. Several years and reunions later, she found herself establishing herself within the world and her new family, and with it she found her boredom eating at her. She became more and more involved in the theater, loving a chance to use her abilities. Her skills quickly became renowned, but at the same time... it became dull. She disliked the scripted setup, the limitations imposed upon her. She wanted real danger, real excitement, and real acting. What better way to prefect her art form than by masquerading as someone else entirely? Or making up her own roles as she went along? As she reached the age of 17, she finally got tired of it, and stormed out, looking for excitement. She met Gael very soon after this. In the area looking for the ore from her homeland, she was literally brought out of this world. After deciding to accompany him, she spent a year or so with him in Etheria. After an intense argument over the "Key" issue, they separated for a time. She spent her time training and masquarading nobles for kicks. Messing with politics was always amusing. When Gael returned with the others, she forgave him and assisted, providing the group with a skilled infiltrator and actor who could take advantage of her abilities to assist her allies both in and out of combat. After the entire incident was over, her and Gael talked for some time before he took over to get something. She left to find something entertaining to do. She had heard rumors, but this Sentou Gaukin.... She subtly scouted the place and was disappointed at her original assessment. And then she met Kisuke....

She does have a more of a past with Skye, Rorak, Lucas, and Gael which will be revealed later through her encounters with them.

RPing Sample: She stopped at the mirror to make sure she had it right before her next act began. Her hair hung long and golden in the moonlight. Her eyes shone deep cerulean like the ocean she could hear crashing in the distance. Her long, silver gown draped over her body, clinging to just the right parts, covering her bare feet. A matching tiara glistened on her forehead. She ached for the feel of the soft earth between her feet, but she ignored the craving. She turned and moved onwards. Let the penultimate act begin.

She entered a large throne room and strode to the figure slumped in the over sized throne. The figure looked up as it heard her approach.

"Daughter, is that you? Daughter?"

She reached the old man in his robes of office, his clothes pristine, his body almost gone. A huge golden crown lay askew on his shrivled head, another sign of glory long since past. She quietly hushed him and helped him up.

"Now, now, father, come. Its late and you need your sleep."

He mumbled as his daughter helped him into his room.

"I shouldn't need help. I am still the most powerful ruler in this land.... I am the power...."

She guided him to the open window, reassuring him quietly. She removed his crown as he looked at her questioningly.

"Ashlene? Daughter? What are you doing?"

She placed it down quietly. She turned back to him and something seemed to spark in her eyes. He stepped back, towards the window.

"Ashlene.... What is...."

She lunged forward, her teeth finding his throat, savoring the crunch and the warmth of the blood as he stood, windpipe crushed, gasping for air. She quietly lapped at it before hurling him out into the abyss of darkness below. His body crumpled with a dull thud. She looked down, trying to ignore her fear of heights and working quickly. The ground beneath him swallowed him and the blood stained area up with her help. She stepped back. Her licked the blood from her lips and her hands, glancing at the crown. Almost time for her final act.

Almost done, should finish up backstory tomorrow.

Everything here is done, the nature of her powers and her true form will be revealed in her technique section. Also, how active has Suzaku been lately?

History could be a bit longer. And Suzaku has not been very active lately

I can wing it with Suzaku. As for her history.... I can elaborate more on her siblings, but I honestly hoping to avoid that, as I planned for them to later be characters here as well. The idea was to give them a more and more completed backstory as each were put together, even though I can elaborate more if you need me too.

Please elaborate

It's good enough, Approved.

I'll elaborate some more soon. Shouldn't I be at least part of Suzaku, and not a Wanderer? The app was for Elite, but.... Also, how much Tsukara and Experience do I have? (Min/Max)

You will be once I can get Kisuke back on. he said he wanted the spot but has been busy. As for the banner itself, I didn't want to change it because your aren't officially Suzaku yet. Since there is a lack of Suzaku members, I can't imagine that he would turn you down.

Take a look in the Starting Dice/HP amounts. It's over on the left hand side of your computer screen.

I've looked and haven't seen the Tsukara amounts. Also, do I just go off of the Wanderer amounts for HP/dice for now or no?

Yes. The Tsukara are set up by mods, if you really have a question about it you can PM jisenki.

Wait, Ryoushi Wanderer or just normal? Its looking like Wanderers have ridiculously low stats lol

Well, since you're really not a wanderer you would go by the Suzaku elite rules.

Fair enough

Yes, look in Information and Rules section. There should be all of the information you need there.

Thank you. Honestly it was bugging me when I couldn't find that again

I'll be updating the side links soon so that others will be able to navigate the forum easier.

Stop spamming this topic for idle chit-chat. If you really must talk about something like this, then you should do so in either pm or in the chatbox. There is absolutely no reason for the topic to have reached this far into the second page already, and it must/ will stop now.
