Character Development
✗—CHARACTER CLASS: Rank C
Character Information
✗—TERRITORY OF BIRTH: maelstrom
✗—PERSONALITY:
at first glance, teagan can seem boring and dull with little to do and even less to say. that is to say, she isn't openly vulnerable. she doesn't allow herself to be defined easily by the open public. most other individuals merely base their opinions on her from rumors and appearance which, to be honest, doesn't give her a glowing report. the mere connotation of vampirism especially isn't particularly welcoming. her clothing choices as well do not make her the friendliest figure. all in all, her reputation is one of dark macabre and unapproachably mundane.
indeed, teagan can be somewhat frightening, but it is not a defining trait of hers. more than anything, she is a free spirit, fickle and unpredictable. she is independently strong and never works well in groups. if anything, she can make use of a partner but usually nothing more. she is aloof, as passing as the wind. she dislikes being called 'random' as that gives the impression that she has no motives, nothing driving her. that is certainly not the case. she is a heavily ambitious person. if a mountain is set before her, she will climb it in a matter of time. the thing is, her whims are often very strong yet fade very quickly, causing her rather flip-flopping goals. while she may seem kind of flimsy and uncaring, she can only be this way because she is well-grounded. she knows her own limitations, and while she does work to expand them, she will not pretend as if she's all-powerful. she has no problem with admitting her faults, but she will constantly follow-up with how she will undoubtedly improve herself. she is an individual continually in motion, whether physically or mentally. some may say that she has adhd, and she may agree, but it's never been confirmed. only those who can keep up with her pace are truly compatible with the capricorn.
teagan is a girl that bases things on the tangible, what she can distinguish with her five senses. lofty ideas like love or success are often in the back of her hand. she won't argue that these are important, but she would rather build her house on the solid earth rather than the shifting sand, so to speak. seeing is believing for her, and physical sensations hold more value than feelings. she isn't very much of a romantic. if anything, she could be counted as a realist. feet firmly planted on the ground, her head is often found up in the clouds. she is a practical and resourceful person. she certainly isn't the smartest academic person, but she is an opportunist and cautious enough to run to the edge of a cliff and not fall over.
her whimsical decisions can bring disaster upon herself and others, though. though her intentions are usually positive, the outcome often comes out in a sour way. '' the road to hell is paved with good intentions,'' after all. this is especially true in her case. fortunately, most of the bad consequences fall on her as opposed to those around her. in addition, she has quite the temper. it isn't that it is short, but certain things set her off. and when she's throwing a tantrum, everyone is at risk to her sharp tongue and often times quick fists. she has no discretion or inhibitions when she is in a rage. when she calms down, she is often incredibly guilty for anything she might have said or done. despite this, she often can't help becoming uncontrollably angry. as ambitious as she is, she will do whatever is possible to reach her goals. this often paints her in a dark light. she has no qualms over lying to obtain something or using sex appeal to win a match. a particularly challenging aspect of her is her rebellious nature. it seems as if she must protest at each and every order she's given. she's simply a very contrary person and hates to be contained within any sort of parameters.
despite her negative characteristics, she does have some redeeming qualities. fiercely loyal and brave, she has little trouble with speaking her mind. while her heart is on her sleeve, she doesn't always openly show it. when asked of her opinion, she is honest. blunt, even, cruelly so. though she wears a neutral expression most of the time, it is easy to tell when her disposition changes. in addition, she is a friendly person. of course, she isn't openly friendly, but if she were to be approached, she can be as helpful and kind as anyone. it is only when she is peeved when she should be isolated.
✗—APPEARANCE:
a tattered way of living
teagan is a rather individualistic figure in appearance. Her long hair, perhaps the first noticeable attribute she posses, is an inky black and flows freely. it is rare to see her hair up, but during athletic activities she usually has no choice but to. she has soft, feminine facial features that contrast with her often slitted, severe-looking eyes. these eyes are a rich red in color, starkly vibrant even on the darkest night. Her overall figure is distinctively female, yet it gives off a somewhat tomboyish flair, mostly on account of her clothing choices.
teagan purposefully clothes herself in dark colors, particularly red or gray hues. her wardrobe consists of very simple, very boyish clothes. tank tops and tight-fitting jeans are a common ensemble during the summer months. jeans may be substituted for short-shorts, but, overall, her style isn't particularly complicated. winter causes change, but by very little. sneakers make way for boots, and her tank tops for long-sleeved, often striped shirts. shorts, of course, aren't appropriate for cold weather. at times, teagan may even be found in male clothing, such as a casual suit.
Combat Information
✗—FIGHTING STYLE:
O GUERRILLA WARFARE - teagan's primary style of combat, it makes use of her psychic levitation and lithe body. it is a style in which her attacks are quick and concise, efficient enough to allow her to retreat as soon as possible. strikes are made for any body part that is exposed before going back to a safe distance. she uses anything at her disposal. rocks to throw, her kukri to slash. if needed, she may use her psychic powers to aid her, perhaps in a quicker retreat or to propel herself forward. momentum is heavily used in this form.
O SEDUCTION - something of a modified guerrilla warfare, teagan uses this to make her opponent rather uncomfortable. never hesitating to show off a bit of skin, she could 'accidentally' tear her shirt or 'accidentally' rub against her opponent. she makes use of her voice as well, making certain sounds or saying certain words that may stimulate her enemy. this is to throw her foe off guard and usually nothing more.
O RHYTHM MATCHING - this is a practice that enables teagan to somewhat predict her opponent's next move. it's common knowledge that everyone has their own styles of combat, and she takes advantage of this to watch a person's movements and match their 'rhythm,' so to speak, to be able to parry and block the opponent's strikes. this is usually only cultivated after she has been in a match with the individual or is in a particularly long battle with them. of course, if they were to do something uncharacteristic of their rhythm, it would throw her off.
✗—INVENTORY:
O KUKRI - a short blade, her primary weapon, along with the sheathe worn on her waist
O SMALL POUCH – an ordinary brown pouch with five item slots
O APPLES (5) - a tasty and healthy treat | uses: five
✗—NORMAL ABILITIES:
O SLASH - a simple slash with her kukri, usually aimed near the head, abdomen, or knee joint | damage: 6-9
O PUNCH - whether it's a upper cut or a jab, it's rather unremarkable in strength, but a strike nonetheless.| damage: 1-2
O KICK - more effective than the punch, it's a tad stronger but still fairly weak | damage: 2-3
O PROJECTILE - with the help of her psychic manipulation powers, she can take any object and telekinetically project it towards her opponent. the heavier the object, the slower it is but the more damage it deals. smaller objects are faster but deal significantly less damage | damage: indeterminable
✗—ZODIAC STATE ABILITIES: Can only use during Tournaments!
O Must buy them!
Background History
✗—CHARACTER RELATIONSHIPS:
Silas Ulysses|| a tall, stoic vampire, he was of average birth, his family not of any particular wealth or nobility. he was, however, a distinguished student of maelstrom academy and had fought in the one thousand year war. her relationship with teagan is rather strained but remarkably better than her relationship with her mother.
Eva Rivera Ulysses|| also a vampire, she is an incredibly intelligent individual and tends to look down on anyone who she considers a 'commoner.' despite her humble upbringings, she has the arrogance of an aristocrat. apparently, her own daughter fits in this category of commoners. it was she who disowned teagan, but it was silas who allowed it.
✗—CHARACTER NAKAMA: just a couple here and there
✗—CHARACTER GOAL: to be
✗—CHARACTER BACKSTORY:
O Before the Academy:
silas and eva were both expected to become a couple, not because of their chemistry - or lack there of - but because their families had decided to arrange a marriage. there were little protests between the two. silas found eva and her domineering personality rather attractive, and she saw him as a stepping stone on her way to nobility.
it was a marriage of convenience, and, despite the war, they lived a fairly happy and mundane life. teagan, their first and only child, was soon born, and made daily life more interesting, to say the least. she was a loud child. rambunctious and energetic, she was not suited to the quiet life silas and eva had established early in their marriage. though she probably wouldn't admit it, eva had merely been biding her time until teagan was old enough to be disowned.
teagan had already attended maelstrom academy for one year when she was disowned by her parents. she couldn't say she hadn't seen it coming. in fact, she wasn't the least bit angry or betrayed. while this may have seemed like a devastating thing, she only took it as another mountain to climb. fortunately, her father was kind enough to continue sending money to her, most of which is used for tuition.
O After the Academy:
her years at maelstrom academy were fairly uneventful, marked only by her continual growth in skill. it is with great pride that she looks upon her work as a tamer. her disowned status no longer bothered her, and it is known that she herself is associated with the idea of being disowned, as if it could be an infectious disease. few friends accompany her on this journey, but while their numbers are small, she holds them near and dear to her heart.
in a setting where there are a great deal of other species other than vampire, teagan often finds it hard to suppress her baser instincts. she finds it almost shameful when she catches herself staring at someone's neck or when her mouth waters at the smell of a fresh, open wound. apples are particularly helpful in restraining her urge to suck blood. although red meats and rabbit meat can also satiate her hunger.
