AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLMENT FORMUser Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Name: Merry
Nicknames: Merry-Girl
Gender: Female
Age: 17

Faction/Race Monster; Chimera


natural ability: Merry can shift back and forth between her anthropomorphic form and her feral form.

Personality:
~ And here we see the wild Chimera in her natural environment Merry isn't normal, not by any means. She's got a veritable melting pot of species from which she was made, and all those many bits have colored her mind, her habits, and her behavior. She was made from the genes of animals, and humanity was an afterthought.

She has the curiosity of a bird, a scarlet macaw to be exact, and doesn't seem to have many personal boundaries. If something interests or intrigues her she'll do all in her power to figure it out. Speaking tactlessly, or invading the hell out of your personal space in the process should the need arise.

She seeks out the warmth and companionship of others, whether they like it or not, and is just stubborn and hot headed enough to not take no for an answer.

~ Are you gunna eat that? I would be cautious to putting anything of value in front of this girls mouth when she's hungry. Not only will you loose it, but you might pull you hand back a few digits short. She has a veracious appetite, and an abnormally quick metabolism, no doubt the result of having been made, rather then born.

Not only does he have a bottomless pit for a belly, but she has an insanely broad palette. All the various critters that went into her creation have different diets, and Chimera seems to enjoy them all. She may prefer food of a bloodier fair, but she's quite happy with a handful of carrot sticks.

~You and me baby ain't nothing by mammals.. With all those natural instincts in there mucking about, complications are bound to spring up. Her attractions to others seems to suffer in a most peculiar manner. If she likes you, then she likes you, but how she expresses that attraction is subject to change depending on.. well, many things. She may try to court you like a bird one day, or a lion the next. Any odd mating instincts from her grab bag of genetics could show itself.

An another note. Because not all of the poor beauties that went into her were female, she seems to have taken on the habits of not only the softer gender, but also the males. If another girl is honing in on her turf or her male, Merry would be more then happy to lay the smack down and wreck a b***h. She doesn't like her things being mussed about with, and can come off as jealous when it's more a territorial case.


Why did they enroll at the academy? Merry was sent to the academy by her guardian so she may learn from the best of the best. What limited skills she already possess need honing, and the dormant abilities that still lay untapped need to be harnessed and controlled. She'll find that and more within the grounds of the academy. Perhaps even a little discipline along the way.. fat chance of that.

Fear:
Tainted Fang: Merry's bite has a burn effect that proves very bothersome/painful.

Who's too cool for you? The Ghoul is too cool for you.

------

Her name is cute and she's a potential food source. You've already won me over on that aspect <3

In regards to the curiosity of a macaw - does she has the smarts of one as well? What is her level of intelligence? Is she par with an average human, or she more animalistic? Is she prone to flights of fancy?

I LOVE HER mating desires. That is all I have to say about that XD.

I was going to be confused over her diet and stuff, but since you said she's made entirely from DNA and not actually parts I can assume a bit more and give more leeaway.

FEAR looks good, but what Venom does she focus on the most or can she do all three at her current level? If so, how weak would they be (to ensure she's not overpowered)? It's good that you've given the levels of use as well, but ....

Her natural ability seems to be pretty fun and not too powerful for her. Basically you can almost just say that she's genetically better from her make-up and leave it at that. I do love the weakness you've given for it though as it's a good balance to having something like mild super powers. Has she ever had a crash from trying too hard?

orz I would have liked this to be longer but she's looking pretty solid in her likes and dislikes and basic personality. You might want to flesh out anything she does in her spare time, hobbies perhaps other than bothering people. You've made some mention of what gets under her skin, but is there anything else?

You reason for coming to school mentions discipline. Please elaborate on why this is needed!

Crit~

Mainly, I'm really uncertain about the name on this one. If this was going to be the only character of her kind, I'd think it could be cute to name her after her species - but there's no guarantee of that. In fact, I could readily see another Chimera student popping up over time, if only because it's a race where it's really easy to make unique combinations of creatures for a cool-looking character. If you aren't attached to the name to such a degree that there's no help for it, try asking yourself: What is it that you're trying to communicate with it? That her creator was uncreative? How can you get a name that would still communicate that, but be less likely to cause confusion in-game if there happens to be another one of her kind around (or even if there's just a need to differentiate between her own name and species)? One way would be to make some amalgamation of a name based on the creatures that went into making her, for example.

I'm also not certain about her FEAR. The way it's built right now seems really strong; the first one is reasonable, but then it grows a bit out of control. Even with the restrictions you placed on them, it seems like they're roughly at the level I'd expect from a student graduating from the school - not someone just walking in. What you might consider doing is to have her only be able to produce one poison for now, and then giving her additional poisons as she advances in stages, along with the ability to produce more quality poison.

The natural ability makes sense, though I'm not sure if you actually need to use it on what you're using it for. Just like it's been stated that any creature with wings should be able to fly without it being stated in a natural ability, you might not have to apply her natural ability to these inherent ideas. Check with a GM about it; it could be fun to find something else to play around with here, if they give you a green light for assuming certain things.

Hope that helps!

I've been meaning to comment on your quest for like forever but I can never think of anything useful to say because I love her all so much XD

Finally thought of a suggestion though! >o> Silly little useless suggestion, but "Chim" (pronounced "Kim") Might be a cute nickname. X) PEACE OUT BEST OF LUCK I love this chick D:< She's rainbowy and hot and will spit acidic venom in your face. Always a plus. biggrin

Enroll pert:

FEAR attack will need to be picked- I'm going to guess that it hasn't been edited in a while b/c it has all the caveat things and stuff that wouldn't apply/work any longer. rofl

Race: I contacted maru to make sure creation method is still viable and it is! She said that: Overtime animal parts mutant with FEAR. Animal parts that rot in the human world end up coming back in halloween. I'm not sure if that'll effect your backstory or not.


Other: Due to wording, personality wise she seems very one sided if not kind of flat- 'she's animal' might say a lot about her habits but doesn't give a lot into her traits outside of them. You have her traits and I can see them, but by blanketing them under the banner of 'animal things' they are rather lost and lessened. Try to pull her personality traits to the front, (stubborn, curious, greedy, tactless, etc). And push the 'because animals' to the back. By having this huge one color brush I'm given one side of her and little else when I know she's got to be more than that. If you can, remove the reasoning and provide each trait and how it plays into interactions.

IE: She is extremely curious to the point she can and will invade personal space. While she finds nothing wrong with this, she lacks the social skills, (and education), to understand why being that nosy isn't so welcomed. If pushed back/away she does (X), and upon getting an answer she'll do (y). In being so curious, she learns, which is exactly what set set out to do by being that nosy- find an answer.
^Her animal behavior is still there, but the focus being less of the why she acts and more how she acts with others in certain ways is what overall helps people understand a character better.

The backlog of enrollment forms was a mess, and in finding the papers with 'rainbow' and 'chimera', it was given to the acceptance bin which promptly began to struggle to accept such a colorful paper after so long without.
