Name: Echo
Age: Ageless
Race: Nihilist Sage
Alliance: Sangreal Order (Left it, currently, none.)
Biography: She's from one of the kingdoms back in the Genesis/Phoenix days. A sage kingdom of Unicorns that stayed neutral in all the wars, yes, Unicorns. Mythical horse, one horn, known for purity, chastity and immortality. They died out someway or another except for a few and..... Okay, I'm not good with this. I'm better at making stuff up as I RP it and fill in plot holes later. So, her history is gonna be "TBA," except for what I already put.
Echo is one of the remaining of the Sangreal Unicorns, got seperated from the order of remaining ones in a place she couldn't use magic, so she had to rely on other survival skills, meditated, and discovered the method of Nihil. Lame, okay. I'll fill in the blanks later.
Personality : Takes no sides, and prefers to keep to herself, but has a bad sense of curiosity that will have her places checking out anything she sees, hears, or senses.
Weapons: The staff in this image http://i45.tinypic.com/2d2dl5h.jpg but black and silver.
Equipment: Clothes, items to use as focus items for Nihil, which I don't know what, right now.
Magic Level: Uhh 5 for Nihil (http://galacticempires.raylon.org/index.php?topic=463.0) type?
Force Level: Hell No.
Appearance: (http://i49.tinypic.com/2wrj68w.jpg)

Alright, approved.

Hikar claims this character dead.
-
Yeah...
Yeah, Echo, her, I'm actually giving her up. Crazy? No.
From the very start of creating this character I didn't really know what I wanted to do. I made her a Unicorn Sage (adding another mythological animal to the fray,) and said they died out except a group or something. See? I made it so boring I can't even bother to remember it.
Anyways, her back story thrown together, it was basically just rushed and given as an excuse to use a character for Nihil, so I could get around anti-magic. Then made her Inari's friend to give a rushed reason as to how she knew things and reason to be in the dimension. Truthfully... I don't know what I want to do with her or where to go with her, she's just 'there.'
She's becoming what I hate in characters, going the Hawkeye route, and being just a tool for Nihil. With such a strong belief in characterization and character development as I have, I can't continue playing the character as just a tool. The character isn't getting what she deserves, or being used to the full potential with me playing her. She has not motives, no story or personality and 'no life.'
So if anyone wants her, be damn sure you know how to develop characters and give them actual life. (No Hawkeye.)
-
I'll take her, I suppose. I'd just need a bit of information on her current character and stuff.
-
Um...Hik...Are you adopting the character out or not?
-
Yes, I didn't see this.
There's nothing about the character basically. The history was thrown together and whatever you want, do it.
The only things to really look at to know are Nihil, and appearance, but of course, appearance can change. And the fact she's friends with Inari, but that's it.
-
I still dont ENTIRELY get Nihil(as in, why it'd need to be able to get past a AM field if it is one anyways), but other than that one part I understand most of it. So, I'll be happy to adopt her.

Nihil is basically the anti-form of magic. It will cancel magic out, through explosions or negation. But in offense and defense it will act like magic as well, just not spells, because spells are magic. So it can do, attacks, barriers, teleportation, etc. But like.. spell circles, curses, hexes, things that actually require incantation or will, to make an effect happen. That's a spell, and Nihil won't do.
Because it's anti-magic, AM Fields won't block it, until there's an anti-nihil field. This is good though, because you can use it to encase, like I did. Spirit Energy isn't the only thing that can encase magic, anything that AM Fields won't cut off, that's an energy can encase magic, that's the secret to getting around AM Fields. So just as Spirit Energy can do it, so can Nihil if you control it not to cancel out a certain magic signature. That way, Barrier of magic + Barrier of Nihil around barrier of magic = Protection from AM Field and attack at the same time.
-
So, it can make general attacks/defenses/ect, just nothing fancy? Ok, that makes a bit of sense.
-
Something to add, that I'm not sure of...
I think Echo is an ACCIDENTAL rip off.
There's this book series I read called Diadem, in it, Unicorn horns are known and sought after by magic users for their powers to negate and cancel out magic....Unicorns are of course associated with silver as their horns in the book are silver....
I hadn't read that book in a while when I made the character but...
I made Nihil before Echo, the whole concept of natural anti-magic.
THEN, to follow the scheme/pattern set of Sages all being mythical animals or legend animals, (Dragon, Phoenix, Fox...) I made her a Unicorn as the next one...Two unrelated things ...but still seem rip-off now.
As for the planet Nil, that's also silver, like a unicorns horn, and negates magic... Another accidental rip, but it was silver, just because silver seemed right for 'negation.'....
So I don't know if you still want the character after knowing it's an accidental rip off.
-
I think you've just naturally become creative. I think it's more of a derivation than a rip, despite the fact that it's a hell of a coincidence. Unicorn? Not a rip. You can't help but make her a unicorn. Unicorns with abilities to negate magic? That's Nihil. Also, she isn't purely a unicorn.
-
Hik, your the rip-Nazi, not me. XD Rip or not, I dont mind, so long as ya didn't literally copy everything from said book/whatever. Im the one who's more(not completely, but more)relaxed about that stuff, you know that.
