Invidia

Akane-chan wrote:

Name: Akane Itō | Aka-chan
Gender: Female
Age: Fourteen
Birthday: April 20th
Sexuality: Bisexual
Special Characteristics:

• Bloodless | Upon joining Grim Heresy, Akane herself was killed and brought back as an "undead". Her heart does not beat because of this, producing zero blood within her body. At times, she can appear pale.
  

Personality:
For a dark mage, Akane's personality is far from what one might expect. In fact, she is generally a decent person and fun to be around, though her ideals and morals (or rather, lack thereof) are why she doesn't quite fit in with light guilds. She is almost always completely calm, very few things or people actually getting on her nerves, so long as they aren't directly effecting her in a negative way, causing her issues or doing an excellent job at annoying her. She is rather intelligent and clever, as well as extremely observant, meaning she is normally always aware of what is going on around her and able to deal with almost any situation she finds herself in. However, she is also rather impulsive, not always relying on logic and instead trusting her gut instincts. While this can be a good thing, more often than not it gets her into even more trouble that she then has to find a way out of. Part of this impulsiveness comes from her being selfish, not always thinking about the best outcome and instead doing what she believes will benefit her most in the moment, as well as always putting herself before others. This ties into her being vain and believing she is both more talented and more attractive than the majority of people she is around. Expected from a child of her age, however, she's often displayed as clumsy and rash. Seldom will Akane be found not messing up in some way, shape, or form. Though it's not at all bad, as that's how she unconsciously displays her cute charm.

Aside from that, Akane is a bit of a wild card when it comes to morality. In actuality she is fairly honorable, though not in the way one might think. She has her own personal code that she lives by and follows the rules she has set for herself, and to her this is honorable. To others, it may seem her actions are not as honorable as she believes them to be, mostly because of the rules themselves not exactly fitting in with what most people consider to be morally correct or honorable. She is deceitful and seductive (so much as she can seduce with her childish figure), not afraid to manipulate those around her into doing her bidding, whether it be from using her looks, money, or other methods. Often times she can trick people into doing what she wants without them even knowing they had done it, or at least without knowing the true reasons behind it. While this may mean she lies about certain things, for the most part she is blunt and honest, not afraid to speak her mind and let people know what she is thinking. This tends to make her come off as insensitive, which wouldn't be inaccurate as she does not really care about other people's feelings. Contradictory to all of that, she is actually normally a fun person to be around. Her fun-loving and vivacious personality when people aren't irritating her has made her many friends, both light and dark mages alike.

Hardly anything close to a leader, Akane prefers to work alone in most cases. When a group opportunity is presented, she'll run with her own life ahead of everyone else's, caring very little for others.

Likes:

• Wine | Although quite far from the age where one can drink without a care, Akane could care less and drinks as though a liver is useless or irrelevant.
  
• Red | As per her name (aka meaning red), the girl loves anything that's a solid red color.
  
• Heroes | Most people respect heroes and often shower them in gifts. Akane loves those people who save the day, those who bring a "happy ending" to every story. But the reason Akane loves them is because they will continually come back for more and their spirits are usually not crushed quickly.
  

Dislikes:

• Cowards | Akane absolutely despises cowards and people who won't fight or stick up for themselves, especially if they start running their mouths but can't back it up with actions.
  
• The Law | Needless to say, dark mages do not like the law, but this hatred existed long before Akane joined any dark guild. She believes the law just oppresses people's freedoms while doing very little to actually make the world a better, safer place.
  
• Ignorance | She understands that not everyone is a genius. She is okay with the fact that you don't know everything, but some things are just so obvious.
  

Motivations:

• Ranking | Everything has a ranking in society. Akane thinks of ranking up as a game. Because of her childish drive to never lose, she wants to continually rank up whether it is in society or elsewhere.
  
• Despair | In the end, there has to be one trait that a dark guild member must possess in order to truly be dark. In Akane's case, the is despair. To bring the despair towards those who have not yet felt it is now a duty to the red girl.
  
• Food | To win Akane over, presenting her with the basic necessity of life can easily put her on your side within seconds. Of course, if the food was disappointing in flavor, then prepare to take blame.
  

Fears:

• Loss | There's nothing in particular that a person wouldn't mind losing. But for this girl, everything that is hers belongs to her. She fears that she'll be robbed of everything.
  
• Death | Cliché as it may be, any normal human would be afraid of death. Akane has her whole life planned out; marrying a good guy and settling down, growing old together, all the other child-like, romantic fantasies. To have it all end at her age is unimaginable.
  
• Capture | As logic would have it, an evildoer would be afraid of the policing force that would arrest them. The thought of arrest even occurring is disgusting, as it would stop all motivations if one was held in a certain spot for eternity.
  

Height: 4'09"
Weight: 97 lbs.
Hair: Akane has hair of mid-length, elongating to slightly past her shoulders. Brown hair envelopes her head.
Eyes: Brown
Skin Tone: Light
Appearance: Akane is a slender and short girl with a smile upon her face at all times. With her brown hair falling down past her shoulders, her clothes seem to match the color of her eyes. Red like roses is the color of her apparel, usually consisting of a school uniform with a scarf. While committing any illegal activities, Akane runs in a black cloak and hood, her uniform and scarf underneath. Her eyes go from a brown to a dark red, similar to blood.

Guild: Grim Heresy

Name: Invidia
Gender: Female
Age: ???
Birthday: ???
Sexuality: Bisexual
Special Characteristics:

• Invidia is a result of Akane tampering with more scrolls after the summoning of the devil Eris. A scroll caused Akane to intake the power of the demon Invidia. The demon slowly overwhelmed her and took over.
  

Personality: Evil is a term describing that which is regarded as morally bad, intrinsically corrupt, wantonly destructive, inhumane, or wicked. In most cultures, the word is used to describe acts, thoughts, and ideas which are thought to (either directly or causally) bring about affliction and death — the opposite of life. That cliché term is the very definition of Invidia.

Invidia is a woman focused on making the world a better place. For herself, her primary goal is to find out the meaning in life. What is her purpose? How can she best serve her world in this life? She is an idealist and a perfectionist, who drives herself hard in her quest for achieving the goals she has identified for herself.

Invidia is highly intuitive about people. She relies heavily on her intuitions to guide her, and uses the discoveries to constantly search for value in life. She is on a continuous mission to find the truth and meaning in underlying things. Every encounter and every piece of knowledge gained gets sifted through her value system, and is evaluated to see if it has any potential to help her define or refine her own path in life. The goal at the end of the path is always the same - to change the world.

Generally thoughtful and considerate, Invidia is a good listener and can put people at ease. In fact, she enjoys listening to people, regardless if she actually likes those people or not. To put in short, it's just an attempt to know more about the person on the other end. Although she may be reserved in expressing emotion, she can at least pretend to have a very deep well of caring for some and that she is genuinely interested in understanding people. This sincerity is sensed by others, making Invidia a valued friend and confidante. If she desires, the young woman can be quite warm to the people she knows well. Albeit, this will rarely ever happen in reality; for most of the times, her aim is to simply get her job done. So, if acting as a friend helps her to get what she desires, then the woman won't hesitate in the slightest bit.

Invidia does not prefer verbal conflict, and goes to great lengths to avoid it. If she must face it, she will always approach it from the perspective of her feelings. In conflict situations, Invidia places little importance on who is right and who is wrong. She focuses on the way that the conflict makes her feel, and indeed doesn't really care whether or not she's right. She doesn't want to feel badly. This trait sometimes makes her appear irrational and illogical in conflict situations that needs her to use a lot of words rather than power itself. This is solely due to the fact that when speaking in a conflict, there's no way she can keep her emotions aside and the woman really doesn't run good with emotions and feelings. So, she lives by a formula that keeps her away from verbal conflicts. In her opinion, it’s better to settle the scores with power alone. On the other hand, she makes a very good mediator, and is typically good at solving other people's conflicts, because she intuitively understands people's perspectives. Just a pep-in-the-step for someone who observes and loves to understand people as much as possible.

Invidia is flexible and laid-back, until one of her values is violated. In the face of her value system being threatened, she can become an aggressive defender, fighting passionately for her cause. When she has adopted a project or job which she's interested in, it usually becomes a cause for her. Although she's not a highly detail-oriented individual, she will cover every possible detail with determination and vigor when working for her cause. When it comes to the mundane details of life maintenance, Invidia is typically completely unaware of such things. She might go for long periods without noticing a stain on the carpet, but carefully and meticulously brushes a speck of dust off of her favorite book.

Invidia is comfortable in dealing with hard facts and logic. She tends to not focus on her feelings and the human condition makes it easy for her to deal with impersonal judgment. She completely understands and believes in the validity of impersonal judgment, which makes her naturally rather effective at using it. Invidia will generally go with impersonal analysis and is capable of being quite logical. Under stress, it's not uncommon for the woman to calmly hold a stance in the middle of the battleground and let the facts sift slowly through her mind, while she simply chooses to defend her body at that point of time.
Invidia has very high standards and is more or less of a perfectionist. Consequently, she is usually hard on herself, and doesn't give enough credit. She might have problems working on a project in a group, because her standards are likely to be higher than other members of the group. In group situations, she may have a control problem. Invidia seriously needs to work on balancing her high ideals with the requirements of everyday living. Without resolving this conflict, she'll never be happy with herself, and may become confused and paralyzed about what to do with her life. She is at her very best in situations where she's working for personal goals and in which she just needs to use hard logic and not mix up a lot of emotions with it.

Conclusively, a Invidia who functions in her well-developed sides can accomplish great and wonderful things, which she will rarely give herself credit for.

Invidia is completely fine with battles and conflicts that need a show of power above everything else. As mentioned before, she doesn't like to bring in emotions in the heat of battle; so her mind is completely focused on the task at hand. During a battle, one can barely see features of the woman's face twitch- no matter if she's torturing or killing. Perhaps, her only way of expressing herself at such a moment would be by raising an eyebrow for surprise, a smirk gracing across her lips or a sarcastic little statement. She tries her very best to not let go of her well-trained control on herself and perform any actions more than that. Her main aim in a battle is to get the job done as quickly as possible. She's not too much of a torturer and only resorts to it when the opponent is someone she deems worthy (that is, someone nearer to her own power level). No matter who the opponent is, Invidia keeps her calm, manipulative and decisive personality up and doesn't let feelings get in her way. To be honest, it's almost like she locks up the emotional side of her in some damned corner of her head. Alongside the task being successfully completed, Invidia likes to have a bit of twisted fun with it- provided that she's in the right mood. So, there may be times when she will toy around with weaker opponents; especially when they're very few in number. Let's say, it’s her way of enjoying the "game". The woman is generally ruthless, violent and possessed a certain aptitude in killing. It rarely ever happens that her battleground won't register a single case of death. For that is what she brings about every time. Death.

As somebody who is able to travel beyond eyeballs and see things from other people's perspectives, Invidia does well under leaders. She generally won't work under people who she knows she won't fit along with, while in the case of a disagreement with them; it’s her best talent to assuage them into her ways with as much eloquence in her words as possible. On the other hand, Invidia doesn't assume the leadership position herself and avoids it as much as possible. Its solely due to the fact that she doesn't like to feel responsible for other people and their actions. However, she is almost forced to take up that role when her co-workers are weaker than her or really need a smack of guidance. Even as a leader, the woman is not too pressing with her orders, as she lets the people decide what is good or what is bad for themselves- basically, hating to be a complete dictator. After all, if they die in the process, they died due to their own foolish decisions.


Likes:

• Adventures: Only gods can tell the reason behind this. Invidia truly enjoys to go out and discover new things. It’s a carefree lifestyle.
  
  
• Friends: The word friends is truly a fake, as her personality would state the complete opposite. But rather than friends, Invidia wishes for what comes in the ‘friend’ package. She yearns for some people to talk to, to gain intel from, and in the end, to betray. Horrible person she is to wish for such things, but it is what it is.
  
  
• Wine: There's no specific reasoning for it. Perhaps it's to show off her classiness.
  

Dislikes:

• Fruits: How does one simply eat a fruit to begin with? Those healthy, but atrocious foods that humans shove into their mouths. It’s disgusting.
  
  
• Arguments: Invidia is one who believes arguments by voice result in nothing but clutter on everyone’s side. Pointless, at that. And because of that, Invidia would very much rather let the more powerful keep in command. Those who get defeated in battle should also learn to keep their traps shut, regardless of whether or not they’re right or wrong. In the end, there’s no such thing as right and wrong in the world.
  
  
• Perverts: It seems rather contradictory, especially how she’s the one with her chest nearly exposed, but those who have no shame in their lecherous motives should have no problem with her saying no. If no doesn’t suit things, perhaps actions would prove to be better. Ending that person’s life sounds nice.
  

Motivations:

• History: This would be her biggest push out of her three motivations. For story development's sake, I'll be doing flashbacks to slowly unravel her history.
  
  
• Love: A single hope that she only wishes for to be true. Any woman would have the same thing. Invidia wants to be able to live, settle down one day with a family, and have a normal life.
  
  
• Money:  Another thing that pushes her onwards, though again, it is only a dream. The woman would love to have a lot of money for the sake of having cash. She’d be identified as rich. But in the end, this relates to her history.
  

Fears:

• Death: This is a cliche fear among a lot of people. But with the death of herself, she’d lose a lot more than just money or fame. She’d lose her goal, her dreams, and most importantly, her future.
  
  
• Title: She doesn’t want to lose her power among others either. Again, it would shame her and bring her back down to the olden days of her history, days she swore she’d become the complete opposite of.
  
  
• Poverty: Her history explains this completely.
  

Height: 5"8'
Weight: 131 lbs
Hair: Invidia's hair varies in color. It may appear grey at times, other times a light purple. It is fairly long and slightly curled.
Eyes: Purple
Skin Tone: Pale
Appearance: Invidia is tall and lean, she has some muscle definition without it being obvious but not too petite or anything like that. Her face is that of an innocent girl, though she was exposed to much more than one would expect from a woman like this. When she smiles, she has the ability to truly light up a room with her sparkling, white teeth. She has a curvy figure with obvious hips, sizable breasts, and a feminine face. Her skin is really clear, and a clean pinkish "white" color without too much going on there. Her skin is kept in excellent shape not because of some beauty regimen. It's purely natural and she takes great pride in it, at that. Invidia's attire usually consists of plaid skirts with suspenders and a white half-open vest like top, thigh high boots and long elbow length gloves with stockings and a beret, partially plaid.

Invidia's clothing is a mix of Russian and other European clothing. She's one who simply adores style and, as a result, can often be found in other pieces of clothing. A most basic change would be the color of the vest she wears. Though it's usually white, it can be found in the opposing color of black as well. She wears no bra, her underwear being red in color, same as her beret. Sometimes, she wears a dress of a questionable nature. Black and laced with red, it only covers some part of her body.

Invidia is an interesting girl with interesting tastes. Despite saying she hates males who have only sexual desires in their head, her body absolutely argues with her every step of the way. She enjoys to go swimming, therefore has a two piece bikini, again of the color red. Both the upper and lower piece are the exact same pattern as her beret, plaid in red and white. When the weather is hot and stuffy, you'll see her in her bikini, regardless of where they're headed. Let it be battle and whatnot, she will be in her swimsuit. If the weather is cold, she would wear a coat of the same style, however with no protection over her breasts again. Because of this, given her combat abilities, may cause the wind to blow up her top, exposing her womanly charm, though that has yet to happen.
