[Celeste]

- Player -
Name: Celeste
Gender: Male
Age: 14
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Face-Claim: Hiro Hamada, Big Hero 6
Played by: Lucilfer
Faction: Gaian

- Appearance -
Celeste is a young boy at fourteen and a half years old and reaching a height of 147cm. He has been forged through the means of savagery, having wrestled with beasts from the beginning of his life until now, leaving his body scarred. From head to toe, he shows no signs of malnourishment. His body holds a healthy bronze color, and energy protrudes from within his muscles. Whilst not buff, his body is well-toned, and almost no fat is found on it. He has brown hair, seemingly cut with a dagger to keep it out of his eyes. His eyes are bright blue, but in the winter, they turn a little darker than usual.

- Personality -
Being raised by his three familiars, all of which are not familiar with the human language and incompetent in the arts of raising a human, Celeste never learned what it is to be “Human”. This, unfortunately, includes the ability to speak. He knows no words, and when he tries to speak, all he produces are sounds without interpretable meaning. However, he’s figured out how to summon his familiars, and his most known “words” are the sounds required to bring forth his familiar, often followed by pointing and snarls and growls.

He acts on instincts alone and gets through the day only to satisfy his primal strive for survival. Ever since Celeste was young, he and his familiars had been forced to hunt for their own food. Well, Celeste’s food. This has helped Celeste gain a vast amount of hunting experience. He loves the thrill of the hunt and is prone to drag a hunt out until the prey collapses of exhaustion. He usually tries to be the one to deliver the final blow to his prey. This puts him at great risk, however, the satisfaction overrules the risk.

He's a curious, yet cautious person, however, his curiosity often gets the better of him. Furthermore, his underdeveloped mind hasn’t learned to differentiate between good and bad, making him totally unaware of the consequences of his actions. However, he can identify a disadvantageous situation, and will try to flee if he finds it needed.

- History -
Celeste is a young teen Gaian, who’s been living in the woods all of his life. He was abandoned by his mother, at a very young age, to live alone in the wild, faring between wildlife with no possible way of protecting himself. He was placed in a small basket, wrapped in a simple cloth, accompanied only by a thick grimoire. This grimoire held a vast magical power, able to create creatures out of thin air. These creatures included a large canine with spikes down its back and over its shoulders, a small golden- and blue feathered bird with a lot on its mind, and a demon-like humanoid that was able to take care of Celeste when he was not able to, himself. Through the years, Celeste learned how to hunt to be able to get food on the table. He became very knowledgeable of what mushrooms and plants were edible, when and where to search for easy prey, and how to make basic weapons. Through countless hunts, his summons became his greatest allies and best friends, and they gained a non-verbal understanding of each other. Usually, he only brought the bird and the canine to the hunts, going together with the humanoid whenever he was hunting for something special. And today was such a day.

The forest had been noisy all day. All the animals acted unusually, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary to Celeste. Nothing smelled different, nothing looked different, so why were all the animals acting so weirdly?

Celeste couldn’t help himself but look further into this.

- Extra -
His favorite meals are any type of bird, grilled above a bonfire. No seasoning, no nothing, just bird. And it has to be caught whilst flying, otherwise, what's the fun?

- Skills -

Adventurer Skills
Rank I Skills

Blink
Blink instantly teleports the user up to 1 meter in any direction, leaving a dark blue afterimage. This can teleport the user past enemies or allies, but not through walls. Upon arriving at their destination, the user suffers a 0.5s global cooldown, so caution is advised when using this skill.
Instant, 20s cooldown, 0.5s global cooldown. Below-average mana cost.

Heightened Senses
An alarm-type field skill that has seen more use since the Apocalypse, as travel is more dangerous than it used to be. After the cast, the user is granted the Alarmed buff for 8 hours. If an enemy of the Territorial, Aggressive or Predatory Type comes within 10m of the user, the Alarmed buff wears off and the user receives a loud notification sound and flashes on the interface. Ever since the Apocalypse, this buff persists even through sleep and wakes the user up. The cooldown starts after Alarmed has worn off.
3s cast time, 1-hour cooldown. Low mana cost.

Trajectory Bending
An instant skill that may be used anytime a basic attack is performed. The weapon or projectile will flash white and redirect itself to a direction of choice, continuing with full velocity. This skill works wonders against evasive foes but lacks a significant impact against slower ones. Its mana cost will add up if used a lot, so rely on your skill instead.
Instant, 5s cooldown. Low mana cost.

Velocity Jumper
Ranged skill. Upon use, the user fires a projectile encased in a faint green glow. The projectile travels for 1m before it vanishes, and instantly reappears at a user-specified distance up to 20m, after which it continues flying up to a total distance of 25m. It deals below-average damage and cannot teleport through walls or land, but is great for catching enemies off-guard or shooting past tanks.
1s animation time, 10s cooldown. Minor mana cost.

Rank II Skills

Illusory Shooting
Ranged skill. The user whispers a silent spell that coats the user’s ranged weapon of choice in a faint white glow. For the next 10s, all projectiles shot or thrown are fully invisible and the weapon itself is silent, granting a strong Aggro Down and making it difficult to deflect or dodge shots.
1.5s cast time, 1 min cooldown. Average mana cost.

Rank III Skills

Summoner Skills
Beginner Skills

Aether Arms
The Summoner targets one of their currently summoned familiars, transforming them into a magical weapon for use by either the Summoner or their party members. If Aether Arms is used on a familiar currently under its effects, this will turn them back into a familiar. While the familiars are transformed, mana is drained at half the usual rate; however, Summoning Points remain in use. The Summoner can choose out of three different weapons, although they share the same attributes. Information regarding Aether Arms is located in the skill description of each summon. Multiple familiars can be under the effects of Aether Arms at the same time.
0.5s cast time, no cooldown. No mana cost.

Summoning
The Summoner has the special ability to summon familiars. However, keeping the familiar summoned is a drain on the summoner’s mental fortitude at all times; therefore, until they get stronger, the summoner is restricted to 2 summon points that they can use. Once they unlock a rank 2 Summon spell, they have access to 3 summon points, and once any rank 3 spell has been purchased, they gain access to 4 summon points. If any familiar dies while summoned, it will go on a 30-minute cooldown to revive, and thus cannot be re-summoned until this time expired. If a familiar is de-summoned it does not go on cooldown, and will gradually heal while de-summoned.
Passive.

Rank I Skills

Castling
The Summoner swaps places with any of their currently summoned familiars. If the familiar the summoner intends to swap with is within 20 meters of the Summoner, the spell is instant. If the familiar the Summoner intends to swap with is beyond 20 meters, this spell will have a 4s cast time. Summoners using familiars capable of flight should be wary of using this spell, lest they plummet to certain death by swapping places with the familiar during flight.
Instant, or 4s cast time, 1 min cooldown. High mana cost.

Summon: Alicanto
Personality: Cheerful, friendly, talkative.
Abilities: Mind Relay: The Alicanto can relay all it sees directly into the master’s mind, allowing them to see everything for themselves with the Alicanto’s superior senses.
Speech: The Alicanto can talk telepathically with their master over Mind Relay or through their cheery, cute child-like voices.
Lustrous Gust: In self-defense, the Alicanto can emit a powerful blinding flash as it powerfully expels gusts of air from itself, Dazing and Blinding nearby enemies for 5s and reflecting projectiles and spells.
Attributes: Strength - 2. Endurance - 2. Agility - 10. Intelligence - 9.
Description: The Alicanto is a two-toned, seagull-sized bird resembling a parrot; its upper side is brilliant and lustrous like its feathers are made of solid gold, and its underside is sky-blue to not be noticed by those looking at it from below. Alicante are very social familiars that enjoy being perched on their master’s shoulder if they can do so, and have the intelligence of a small child in both speech and brain capabilities.
Aether Arms: Whip, Crossbow, Katana. These vividly-plumed weapons look like they could be used in rituals or festive displays, and seem to hum calmingly in their wielder’s hands. The wielder is granted a minor health regeneration while holding them, and they deal damage of the Air attribute.
3s cast time. 1 Summon Point. Low mana drain.

Summon: Spikehound
Personality: Loyal, eager, ferocious.
Abilities: Volley: Every minute, the Spikehound can increase their attack speed by an above-average amount for 10s, unleashing a rapid volley of boney spikes towards their master’s target.
Barrage: The Spikehound fires a barrage of several spikes skywards, which land in a 1m diameter within 20 meters after 3s. This deals average damage upon impact, and the bones last for 20s to inflict a low Movement Down to enemies that thread on them.
Chilling Howl: The Spikehound’s intense loyalty causes them to be incredibly protective of their master. When enemies close in on them, they will sound a loud, bone-chilling howl that Interrupts enemies within 5m and Silences them for 3s to protect their master.
Attributes: Strength - 5. Endurance - 4. Agility - 7. Intelligence - 6.
Description: Spikehounds are tall and large thickly furred canines with a loyal, friendly disposition. Their head hangs low between their shoulders and their paws have sharp claws. The most striking feature is the bony spikes that protrude from their spines and shoulders, aimed forwards. When shot through muscle contraction, these will fire up to 15 meters far and rapidly regrow in a matter of seconds, allowing it to be used as a weapon. Their fur patterning and color can be anything.
Aether Arms: Shortbow, Crossbow, Hatchet. These simple tribal weapons fashioned with teeth, claws and bone give wielders a minor Critical Hit Up.
3s cast time. 2 Summon Points. Average mana drain.

Rank II Skills

Summon: Incubus/Succubus
Personality: Variable.
Abilities: Hover: Capable of limited flight, the Incubi and Succubi are unhindered by earth-based abilities or terrain. They have an intense reduction in fall damage taken.
As Master, As Servant: The Incubus or Succubus is capable of using any non-R3 Adventurer skill Spells their Summoner has learned.
Soul Bolt: A simple non-elemental skill with a low cast time, damage, and cooldown that flings a homing, pitch-black bolt towards enemies within 10m.
Nox Sanguinis: Launch a crystallized lance towards an enemy. Upon hit, it will deal average non-elemental magical damage and lodge inside, draining the target’s life force inside, painting the spear red. The Incubus or Succubus will then redirect the lance towards their master, and convert this life force into health for them. This has a high cooldown
Attributes: Strength - 5. Endurance - 5. Agility - 5. Intelligence - 10.
Description: Uniquely, when first summoning an Incubus or Succubus, the Summoner may choose their gender, personality, appearance, and traits to tailor them to their liking - from feisty boys to classy gentlemen, or hyperactive girls to sadistic onee-sans. Typically, however, Incubi and Succubi have pale skin, chiseled or buxom bodies, and a pair of glide-capable demonic wings and heart-spaded leathery tails. Most prefer to dress in a mix of “business casual” and “gothic lolita”, and typically wield a staff or spell tomes. Some opt for a simple dagger for self-defense in addition to their staff or tome.
Aether Arms: Staff, Daggers, Unique. While incubi or succubi may always transform into either a staff or pair of daggers, the third possible weapon depends on the familiar and their personality. These weapons are colored in black-and-white tones with translucent shimmering edges. They grant a minor Mana Regeneration Up when held, and deal split magical-physical damage when striking.
3s cast time. 3 Summon Points. Above-average mana drain.

Human - Boon(s)

Human Potential
Though many might consider the lack of specialization in the stats of a human a curse, attributing them to a jack of all trade and master of none, this ordinariness is the strength of the humans, granting them the power to forge their own path, specializing in what they choose, unhindered by their race.
