AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM

Name:
Zander Aabye
Nicknames:
-
Gender:
Male
Age:
16

Faction:
Monster
Race:
Winged Sphinx

Natural Ability:
Shapeshifting; Zander can shift between his humanoid form to that of a large, winged lion capable of flight.


Personality:
Friendly - Do you want friends? Zander wants friends. All the friends. Will you be his friend? He can talk to you all day, or just listen to you talk. He just wants to have all the friends.
Gullible - He might be book smart, but he's not really people smart yet. Most friends were members of his family pride, so he knows little of true malice, bullying or betrayal. He gives everyone the benefit of the doubt, and would likely shrug off warnings about a person's character much longer than most.
Trustworthy - While Zander might not be as crazy about riddles as some of his kin, he knows how to guard a secret. Anything you tell him, you can be completely confident won't get spread around campus. He's in no way interested in the rumor mills or gossip and won't participate in he-said-she-said nonsense.

Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy?
He seeks to learn! The sphinx greatly enjoys furthering his education and reading up on everything he can. With the desire to become a leader someday - what he would like to 'lead' is still up in the air - he has to be super smart! Also, to have a chance at any position of power, one needs people (friends) to help him reach the stars!

FEAR Ability:
Y1 - The Mind: Zander lets out a loud, beastly roar to try and disorient or generally frighten his opponent!
Tier One:
Dice: 3d4
First Dice: represents your Accuracy.
xxxxx 1-2: Miss
xxxxx 3-4: Success!
Second Dice: represents your Modifier.
xxxxx 1 means your opponent adds +1 to their modifier. If their modifier was -6, it is now -5! This means your opponent has an easier time of hitting their targets.
xxxxx 2-4 means your opponent adds -1 to their modifier. If their modifier was -6, it is now -7!
Third Dice: represents how many turns the effect lasts.
xxxxx 1-2: affects your opponent's next turn.
xxxxx 3-4: affects your opponent's next two turns.

Physical Description:

Eye Colour: Artist's choice!
Hair Colour/Style: Some dark (natural preferred, but not required!) shade; straight and/or somewhat long.
Skin Colour: Artist's choice!
Clothing Style/Colours: I'm going to leave this mostly up to the artist, other than requesting natural colors. His natural form will be a winged lion of the darker sort. Darker brown mane, fur leaning more toward a dusty or brown color instead of sandy?
Extra: Feathered wings and lion tail, please! Artist's choice between foot paws or regular feet. Also artist's choice between pointed humanoid ears or lion ears.
References: No refs, sorry!

Eeee he sounds cute! A fuzzy gullible boil!

I'd love to see more personality added on when you get the chance!

How about something less concrete for the FEAR?
Since he's not a big riddle person (or perhaps not as good) he could maybe have a FEAR that puzzles someone? Stopping them in their tracks? The good part about year ones is they sort of suck at everything.. so him not being into riddles or good at them, would be easily explained when his FEAR manifests!

I guess you just need to decide if he is the type to have a physical or non-physical attack... and then if it's an offensive thing or more of a buff/defensive move!

Thank you for the crit! ;w; Yes, I need to iron out more personality stuff. I have to get deeper than my mental image of MAKE ALL THE FRIENDS and branch out a bit.

Hm. I'm leaning toward a defensive FEAR rather than an offensive one, even though maybe I should go the other way around since lion = HUGE and able to physically fight... I thought about weird, potentially scary sand-formed things, but imagined that someone else either already had it or it would be too out-there for his species. Plus he would have to carry around a freaking load of sand, lol.

I try to think of what's most IC for the character themself. My owl-man is not very violent, but he is very guided by his animalistic instincts so I gave him a basic physical FEAR.

There are FEARs that are a mix of both, such as the one that leeches health and causes damage. Perhaps it could be as simple as a ROAR that disorients the opponent, which would imply BIG SCARY LION without needing him to be violent?

The roar probably would be the best bet for Y1. <3 Then I just have to figure out what to escalate to for the future. *cough* And considering how long I take to get growth points I will probably have plenty of time to think it over. XD

Hahaha! Yeah I know how that goes! PLus remember they can get additional FEARs/leveled up version as they grow so perhaps as he'd played, you can focus him and find something more appropriate!

Good luck!
