AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM

Name: Caoineadh O' Briain
Nicknames: Keen
Gender: Female
Age: ??? (Mentally stuck at 15)

Faction: Ghost
Race: Bean-shìdh (Banshee)

Natural Ability: Shape changing. All Bean-shidh are able to take the form of some of native animals of where they are in order to get to where they need to be to announce the death of those around them. Keen is only good at turning into a ferret though, but it is still cute.

Personality: Keen is rather quite but good natured for one that announces death on a regular basis. She doesn't like speaking though, since people always think when she is going to open her mouth she is going to scream and someone will die.

She is a lesser banshee having been one of the 25 attendants to her clan's [O' Briain] main Banshee Eevul who was thought to be the spirit of a fae and is the one that leads the keening to notify of deaths within the clan. Keen's duty in the clan was to join in the singing that let the clan know that a member of the royal family was going to die. That wasn't and still isn't an issue to her except that with times changing and the members of the clan moving around the world, she has been sent out to learn more and perhaps move on to other clans or races.

Keen enjoys taking the form of ferrets because she is able to snuggle up to people without bothering them but she doesn't have a lot of experience with that since not many want a banshee near them, but when she is permitted she tends to be a softer ferret and not as smelly as the regular type.

To offset her silence she does bring a note paper around a pen in order to 'speak' to those she feels she must. Which is likely a good thing when one is going to a school where you need to answer questions.

Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy?
Keen was enrolled in the academy to learn more about the world since the clans have been moving around a lot. If banshees want to keep their dutys they too have to know what the world is about. With others starting to stop believing they are real, it is time for them to show what it really means to meet one of them.

FEAR Ability: Nightmare Wail. (The Charge) Keen lets loose her Banshee wail to drive pain into the mind of all of those around her.

The Charge
The Charge specializes in splash damage: that is, this particular move deals damage to more than one target. However, if you miss the ENTIRE attack misses! Your additional targets won't receive damage.

Tier One:
Dice: 3d8
First Two Dice: work just like standard attack dice.
xxxxx ie, 2d8 -6 = the damage to your first target.
Third Dice: divided by 2 is the damage do your second target. Remember to round up.
xxxxx ie third dice was rolled 3. 1.5 rounds up to 2 damage to second target.

Tier Two:
Dice: 4d10
First Two Dice: work just like standard attack dice.
xxxxx ie, 2d10 -6 = the damage to your first target.
Third Dice: is your direct damage to your second target.
Fourth Dice: divided by 2 is the damage do your third target. Remember to round up.
Example: I roll 9, 4, 1, 5.
xxxxx First Opponent: 9+4=13-6=7 dmg
xxxxx Second Opponent: 1 is 1 dmg.
xxxxx Third Opponent: 5/2 is 1.5, round up to 2 dmg.

Tier Three:
Dice: 4d12
First Two Dice: work just like standard attack dice.
xxxxx ie, 2d12 -6 = the damage to your first target.
Third Dice: is your direct damage to your second target.
Fourth Dice: divided by 2 is the damage do your third target. Remember to round up.
Example: I roll 8, 9, 7, 12.
xxxxx First Opponent: 8+9=17-6= 11 dmg
xxxxx Second Opponent: 7 is 7 dmg.
xxxxx Third Opponent: 12/2 is 6 dmg.

IMPORTANT: Always, always, ALWAYS quote your targets! In the event that this Fear is used in a massive ORP setting, please try to be mindful of the IC locations. ie, are your targets near each other? Can your attack ICly affect them? While we don't enforce this, we ask that you please try to keep this in mind.
Regarding Targets: You can't hit the same person twice; each target must be a different character. This means in a 1-on-1 fight you're essentially using this Fear to use stronger attack dice.
No target? Look around you ICly. Destroy something! Please note that depending on where you are ICly it may result in IC repercussions.



Physical Description:

Eye Colour: Grey
Hair Colour/Style: Silver
Skin Colour: Death white
Clothing Style/Colours:White silken rags, the tatters of her death shroud, and a skull pendant hanging on silver beads around her wrist.

Hi there! Congrats on winning!

A few things!

Nat ability - Right now this is incredibly broad and should be narrowed down to just one single thing. First year students are pretty weak in terms of abilities and FEARs, and so it needs to be limited to either one animal or one insect, but not more than that.

FEAR - I almost didn't see that you had selected a FEAR mechanic, so maybe just stick the name of it in parentheses next to your FEAR to avoid confusion!

Miscellaneous - I think a bit more clarification on her clan / main banshee / attendants would be great, since it's kind of muddled as to what exactly all that means! It's great to have some background for her, but right now it's a little confusing.

Other than that it looks all right!
