AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM
Name: Armageddon O'Boyle
Nicknames: Maggie
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Faction: Reaper
Race: Witch
Familiar: Doom (Black Shadow Cat)
Natural Ability: Herself and her cat easily blend into shadows; perfect for missions of stealth.
Personality:
The type of ghoul that sits in the back row in class, hangs out under stairwells at lunch and wears a lot of black. She prefers having a small group of friends who are close, as opposed to multiple acquaintances.
She doesn't care for trends or anything considered New World. She prefers old tomes and dusty books than using an EyePhone or browsing the Interwebs. In fact, she's never really used them before. Completely Old School. Likes to pass notes in class, or send letters.
She loves to try new things, even if she fails. She isn't especially athletic, and prefers activities that can be done without physical strain. She enjoys potion making, collecting plants and mushrooms, and cooking.
She's generally happy, even if she doesn't appear overly enthusiastic about most things. Her tired looking appearance is a family trait.
Traits:
> Nature Lover
> Bookworm
> Friendly - despite her affinity for negative quips and an overall dry wit
> Energy Reservation Complex
> Unsympathetic (leading to blunt comments if she doesn't grasp any empathetic understanding)
>
Aspirations and Goals:
> Get her Broom license by age 16
> Learn spells and medicinal potions, as well as hexes and evil potions.
Likes:
> Old books
> Foraging
> Sleeping past noon / staying up well past midnight

> Dim Lighting
> Candles
Dislikes:
> Prolonged and awkward eye contact
> Needless/Pointless expended efforts

> Technology
> Mindless chatter
Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? To gain better access to knowledge of spells and alchemy.
FEAR Ability: Maggie commands Doom to fight for her, since she lacks any athletic ability herself. Aside from potions, illusions or spells, Doom is her main offence strategy. He will defend her, and attack for her.
••• "Doom Kitty; Grow!" -> Doom uses Maggie's ability to control Shadow Magic to grow three times it's size for added power to his attack <- (Battle Cry T1)

I would say given that one of her goals is to be able to ride a broom at 16, keep 'Minor Levitation of objects' as her natural ability, as she's 15, and without taking up that slot, it would end up being a goal she'd not meet; and at y2 to take the ability on, would be barely able to use/not competent enough to get an actual license. Whereas if she takes the ability at y1, able to manipulate objects to float, fly, etc, including herself for a few feet off the ground/hover (not yet able to travel/send objects more than 25 feet seems reasonable imho), y2 she could level up that ability, thereby giving her a greater and much more vast ability while still keeping a fun ability in play y1, gaining it's greater benefits in y2. This is under the assumption you'd want her to obtain this goal- and with her profile, it seems like one that she'd maintain given the end result being highly desirable.
RE Wand Vrs Familiar- The difference is determined in if the object is used to cast or focus magic iirc. So if she's using a wand 10/10 that's being used to focus and channel her magic, so it's falling under weapon.
This however leads into the quandary- weapon (wand) or familiar (raven). Overall, I would say wand would be more suited to her, as a wand is something that she could grow with, or have shift very easily into a broom if so wanted. A familiar on the other hand, seems from her goals, her desired abilities, etc, to be mostly a hindering force in how it would aid her. The familiar- how would they help her that is to her greatest benefit? Her reason to attend Amity remove the notion that the familiar is able to provide knowledge the school can't, and if her goal is to become better at hexes, potions, etc, then again, Amity would have all the resources, a familiar would at best be a test subject, but it's one that can be easily replaced by a minipet.
A wand however is an object she can summon and manipulate at her will, it is something that would grow as she grows and develops which seems to be a theme under the general profile. It also would enable a much easier transitional in cast of spells to aid in her focus and branching out so to speak, (pardon the pun).
Personality wise, my only thought is that Klutz isn't a personality trait that fits what seems to be the intent. Being clumsy/klutzy has little to do with a person's personality and more to do with their physical self- I think a better term there would be tunnel visioned. The effects are the same, as tunnel vision can lead to the physical aspect of being a klutz, and is much smoother in how it co-relates to her other traits. P much- Klutz can stem from being overly focused, but someone who is naturally klutzy does not lend themselves well naturally to being hyper focus as the mistakes they make would be more obvious ones in relation to physical surroundings/physical aptitude.
That's about all I have, as really, you have a great deal of potential already and have what looks like a solid foundation in what you're aiming at. My Parting thoughts/ideas
- spider lace socks
- burned part of her hat from a spell gone wrong
- in being easy going how does she respond to peer pressure/school work
- how does her lack of empathy relate to her relationships/people skills/teamwork
It might be fun if she had a small lightning motif in her appearance via hat end >o > or via ribbon
PS: I'm digging the Soul Eater and Little Witch Academia Vibes.

Bittiface iStoleYurVamps Hola bitti~ Only thing I have a question about is her natural ability- Blending into shadows is fine as a y1 ability, however, being able to use shadows to also cast illusions is a bit much. From art, it looks like you also wanted shadow step? That's a different skill obvs, but as long as it's just her being able to hide in shadows, that fine. i wrote it poorly. she'd only be able to hide within a shadow at y1. later stages might have her hiding and moving with the shadow, and later later stages have her actually manipulate them to her will
nods
yep! I figured, but wanted to be sure! Everything else checks out :> |
