- Character -

Name: Maeve

Gender: Female

Apparent Age: 21

Face Claim: Blake, RWBY

Played By: Lyndrael

Faction: Adventurer



- Appearance -

A feline Faunri, Maeve is at first glance a fairly imposing figure at a taller 6'-0" with a muscular build. The definition of her build is hidden under her heavy armor, but from the general frame of her armor, the large greataxe she carries around, and her rigid posture, it is obvious she takes her physical regiment seriously. She has almond shaped, striking yellow eyes. Her pupils greatly resemble that of a cat although her iris and eye shape is more typically humanoid. Her cat ears stick up out of her dark purple, pixie cut hair. She always lets her hair grow out to just below her ears before getting frustrated with the length and chopping it off again to a more manageable length. Maeve thrives in comfort and her normal attire reflects this. She dresses for practicality. If she isn't wearing her armor, she is wearing loose clothing. She prefers colors that do not stand out: grey tones, typical primary colors, and blacks. She steers away from any pastels. Her cat ears and tail match the color of her hair.

When in thought, Maeve typically has a scowl on her face. Even if she is smiling, it can come across as intimidating because of her fangs. In public, she is constantly scanning her surroundings, which most would assume is to assess potential dangers because of her role as a tank. However, she is usually looking for plants or cooking materials. In private, her facial features relax and she appears much more approachable. She walks everywhere as if she is in a hurry and because of her stature she has found that many rush out of her way in crowds.

Catherine has similar tastes in clothes, and also keeps her hair short. She had hair to her waist at one point, but during a particularly humid southern summer decided to cut it shorter while her air conditioning was broken. She has never gone back due to how significantly easier it is to take care of short hair. Just like Maeve, she rotates through a few lengths, almost always keeping asymmetrical bangs. However, Catherine has a much smaller stature than Maeve. She is an unassuming 5'-0", thin, and rarely works out. Catherine has always wished to be taller, although perhaps not quite as tall as Maeve.

Is the character more observing, one who learns from experience and by observing how the world works? Doesn't have to be one or the other, but most people align toward one.

- Biography -

<(Minimum of 200 words is necessary. Explain the character's history prior to beginning their adventure in Gaia Reborn.)



First of all, we do ask that you keep the history somewhat believable given the time of the story (2019). Some suspense in belief is okay, but "cyborgs traveling 4 years back through time to play the game" is not such a good idea.



Might be best to take your time and start with the early history. Not necessarily too early, but enough to give you a background.



If Adventurer, how was your character's childhood? Did they have a happy life with friends and family? If not, explain the troubles they've had in their years and how they've managed to deal with it. How was their schooling? Were they one of the better students or were they the delinquent type? However much more you can add depends on how old your character is. Perhaps you can talk about whether they've been in relationships, whether they've had jobs, whether anything that happened in their past shapes how they behave today. Hopefully you should have a long enough history as is, but now you can talk about how your character discovered Gaia Reborn too. Were they a gamer? If not, were they asked by friends and family to try the game? What were their initial thoughts about Gaia Reborn, a game that's likely as old or even older than they were, finally available for them to play? Did they have any goals for how they wanted to play the game?



Playing as a Person of the Land is different. They are essentially NPCs of Gaia Reborn, having gained their own personalities due to the transition. Therefore, their history is much more relevant to the world setting. In the Enlightened Republic, many of the noble ruling class have disappeared a long time before, leaving mainly the common citizens. Over a few generations, these people banded together to attempt to rebuild their society. They returned to a simpler lifestyle beside the land - hence their title as People of the Land. They are born from the earth and will someday return to the earth. Unlike Adventurers, if their HP should reach 0, they suffer a permanent death. If you choose to play as a Person of the Land, you must heed your physical limitations. We're not out to get your character, but just know what you're getting yourself into before you decide to play as a Person of the Land.>

Auto-Attack
A skill that controls the user's body and allows them to automatically target a monster and attempt to basic attack. Auto-attack will do a constant chain of attacks so that the total DPS is roughly the same as dealing minor damage once a second. For example, a heavy weapon will do slower but stronger attacks, while a player wielding two daggers will do faster, less damaging attacks.

Any skills or movements that the user may manually perform will take priority over this skill, but the system will generally try to aim for an accurate hit.

It was a staple among players in the original Gaia Reborn game, but since the Apocalypse, its use has taken a drastic drop. Manual basic attacks allow for much more fluid and precise control of attacks, and as such, the skill has barely been used by Adventurers since then. It does, however, allow for people who are not proficient with their weapon of choice to be able to reliably hit their target.

Passively, the player can also delay their next attack to increase the basic attack’s power by performing what’s known as an “empowered attack”. Each second used to charge an attack increases the damage dealt by 20%, up to a maximum of 100% at 5 seconds.

Toggle, No cooldown. No cost.

Call of Home

A skill that can be found prominently on the player’s interface. Activating it causes the user to channel for five seconds, restricting them from doing anything until this cast time is done. If they chose to do anything or are hit by any attack, however weak, the channel stops and Call of Home is put on a one-minute cooldown. Because teleporting in this way to one’s home city essentially breaks them down into raw energy, it is extremely taxing to players after the Apocalypse, and repeated use in a short span can inflict mental or physical strains. The player can opt to use this skill to escape combat outside of dungeons, but it is extremely risky because of the long channel time and the large blue particles and bright light emanating from the user attracting unwanted attention, making it best to use it -before- getting into combat in the first place. It is disabled when in a dungeon or raid.

5s cast time, 1 hour cooldown. No cost.

Interface Control

Even after the Apocalypse, players have kept the ability to use their interfaces. When mentally called upon, the interface hovers slightly in front of them, visible only to themselves and is slightly transparent. It can be interacted with by touch of the fingertips or mentally. The interface allows players to access their party list, friend list, guild settings, crafting list and many other menus. Friend invites can only be sent in a face-to-face meeting, and the same goes for party invites. However, a friend can be added to a party regardless of where they are. Additionally, an Adventurer can talk to friends or party members through telepathy, by pressing one finger to their ear after dialing them. This causes words said to be spoken into their mind rather than out loud.

Passive.

Claw & Scale
The Vanguard obtains a buff when playing with either type of equipment. Not having a Shield equipped grants them Claw, while having a Shield equipped grants them Scale.

Claw: The Vanguard can use their Two-Handed weapon for any Shield skills. However, the mana costs of them are increased by a flat minor mana cost.

Scale: For each enemy currently Aggroed onto by the Vanguard, the Vanguard will receive a minor Defense Up. The Vanguard will not receive more than 3 Defense Up buffs from this skill at any given moment. The Defense Up will last until the enemies are either killed, or Aggroed by another player.

Passive skill.

Vanguard Dive

The Vanguard channels immense strength into their legs to perform a powerful leap towards an enemy within 10m. When they arrive at the enemy, they crash down on them dealing average damage. This touchdown creates a shockwave in a 4m radius that Staggers all enemies. Its high cooldown prevents it from being used for mobility, so it is usually used to jump to allies’ aid at the start of a fight or ensure you are positioned correctly.

2.5s animation time, 5min cooldown. Average mana cost.

- Rank I -

Catching Claws

A skill that allows Vanguards to skillfully parry with their weapon. If a physical attack connects with the Vanguard in the 1s animation time, they will automatically parry that attack with their weapon, receive a very minor 15s Attack Up, and reset the animation time of this skill to the start of its 1s.

1s animation time, 10s cooldown. Low mana cost.

Drake Force

Channeling their inner strength and fortitude, the Vanguard strengthens their body as a faint orange aura beams off of them. This grants them an average Defense, Magic Defense and Aggro Up for 20s.

Instant, 50s cooldown. Average mana cost.

Dragon’s Roar

The Vanguard unleashes a fearsome shout, building average Aggro on all foes within a 5m radius. This applies 1 stack of Dragonfear for 30s. When an enemy reaches 3 stacks, the stacks are removed and the target succumbs to Fear for 2.5s.

1s animation time, 10s cooldown. Below-average mana cost.

Animal Instincts

While their appearance is primarily humanoid, the Faunri benefit from improved perception, their eyesight and hearing amplified by their animal eyes and ears. The senses of a Faunri are more powerful than those of the other races, granting them improved eyesight, hearing, and sense of smell. Faunri do not receive any further bonuses from the animal they are; such as gills, wings, cold resistance, and so on.

Iron Stomach

Not even food poisoning can stop a dedicated chef! This skill can be toggled, allowing chefs to become immune to status debuffs caused by drinks and food, such as Poison or Accuracy Down.

Toggle skill.

“Also prevents intoxication, which is the only real reason to ever toggle this skill off.”

Gardening Aptitude

A Gardener can tend to plants like no others can. All Adventurers can use vegetables, fruits or plants from the Plant or Food gather tables to plant them near a house, greenhouse or guild hall, or even outside of Romalia, and tend to them with nutrition and water, however for Gardeners the crop yield is increased by 33% rounded up. Passively, Gardeners deal a low amount of bonus damage against Plant enemies.

Passive skill.
