Re: Character List
Approved by Ranny. ^-^
Name: Carillon Kristine Caristo
Age: Seventeen
Race: Human
Sex: Female
Hair: Silvery wisps that stretch to her waist when free, although she nearly always keeps them in two braids to hang down to her stomach, tight and very shiny.
Eyes: A very light blue.
Weight: Somewhere around 140 lbs.
Height: 5’6.
Weapon: She wields several weapons, some more effective than others. Her main weapon is her magic wand, which is about a foot long, and a classic black except for the white tips. She uses this solely for her magic attacks. She cannot fight physically, and is much too weak.
Armor: None.
Strengths: Carillon exceeds with her spells and magical abilities, able to summon several different conjuring techniques within moments, without much draining to her at all. She learns very quickly, and is an agile little thing, able to use her mind to her advantage above anything else. Her magic is difficult to ignore or eliminate, as it is a special kind normally not seen in the world of true miracles. She’s not weak against any type of magic, including darkness or any other element. Most magic hardly affects her at all, including elemental attacks.
Weakness: Carillon is an extremely frail little girl, easily frightened and not prone to any type of fighting. She is not good at adapting to fight anyone, especially with brute strength. She fails completely in a physical strength aspect, unable to fight without her wand. She’s also very easily affected by insults and emotional attacks, which faze her even more so than physical wounds, if used in a certain context.
Skills/Magic: Without a star- Basic spells/ With a star- Only available through Higher form.
Abracadabra This spell has to do with her transformation necessary for basic spells. She taps herself on the head with her wand, and her body is surrounded by a large ribbon, enfolding her temporarily while the change takes place. Her clothes become poofy, like a large cupcake, with several strings attached, much like a ballroom dress, though the skirt only comes to her knees, to make it easy to run if needed. Several pieces of fabric trail off the edge. The colors mix with a combination of orange and pink, with the top layer of the skirt white, a pink satin fabric underneath. It is only through this transformation that she can perform her basic spells and upgrade to the next highest stage, and to perform this transformation, she must have her wand.
Now you see me, now you don’t. Carillon disappears completely, including her clothing she’s wearing at the time, and anything or anyone she’s holding, the only exception being the ground. She tends to do this spell sometimes without her wand, especially when in a very shy situation.
Pick a card, any card. Carillon can cause razor sharp cards to fly from her sleeves, at any moment, as she has an unlimited supply. She can also flick cards normally to attack, but if she’s not in any magic form, just herself, she cannot summon them, only if she’s in the first or second transformation. The cards number anywhere from fifty-two pick up, to hundreds.
Nothing up my sleeve. Carillon extends both wrists and scarves fly out to bind the enemy, not particularly strong, but multi-colored, and several layers. They continue on until the foe is completely immobile, although simply cloth, so easily broken by a sword. This attack hardly drains Carillon at all, and is quite simple to do.
Appearance unexpected Carillon can teleport short distances, but only when she’s not in battle, for this takes a certain amount of concentration, and she must know where she’s going, or see it if possible. Otherwise, she could end up in a completely awkward place, as has happened before.
Abracadabra Alakazam The second transformation, this time the ribbon parts from Carillon, and she reappears wearing much less. She now has on what appears to be a sequin-coated one-piece swimsuit, with fishnet stockings, black high heels, and a top hat, followed by a pair of white gloves and what looks like a top to a suit, complete with brass buttons. She may let her hair down briefly in this form, looking much more beautiful and serious. While in this form, each attack takes much more energy, and Carillon is weakened greatly. She usually would only be able to perform one or two of the advanced attacks before reverting back to her normal form.
* Rabbit out of my hat. Carillon has the ability once she transforms into her final form to transform other people into rabbits, although she cannot make it last forever yet. Depending on the person’s magical power and ability to rid themselves of spells, it can last only minutes, or hours, maybe even days. She can also make rabbits people, but this doesn’t last very long, either, a few hours at the most.
* Woman into Tiger. Carillon can transform briefly into a tiger, white with black stripes. She cannot last long in this form, though, as it greatly drains her, making it nearly impossible to remain in the form, perhaps longer than ten minutes at top power. Once she reverts back to human form, she is in her previous dress, not naked, as most assume.
* Incredible Floating Feat Although Carillon cannot fly, she can hover above the ground or cause others to hover, at a maximum height of twenty feet, or maybe stretching it, thirty. This also drains her incredibly, so she usually doesn't attempt it. Also, she has a slight fear of high places, especially if she's the one controlling her rise and fall.
* Out of Thin Air Carillon can make items appear out of nowhere, but the bigger and more complicated the item needed, the more it saps her. However, she cannot conjure the item, just take it from wherever it is and make it appear to her. The further the distance, the more it saps her, as well. She prefers not to use this attack, but uses it more as a tool.
* The Prestige. This is the greatest attack available to Carillon, and even she has dared not use it as of yet after the accident. It is said to have multiple effects on everything and everyone nearby, and has only happened once to her before. She dares not use it again, as the effect it had before had permanently scarred her life. If she were to use it again, the results could be nothing short of a massacre.
Appearance: Carillon appears normally as a normal school girl, wearing a small plaid skirt that reaches her lower thighs and white socks with dirty tennis shoes. She also wears a vest to match her skirt, over her white blouse. In her hair, which is nearly always braided, she keeps it well groomed with a sky blue ribbon in the back. Her skin is perfectly white, with an innocent air about it. She always has her wand with her, although it’s usually not visible to the untrained eye, tucked within her clothing. There is little to suggest she is anything other than a normal, young human, posing no threat.
Personality: Carillon is a very shy girl. She hardly speaks to people unless she knows them, and when she does, it’s usually in a soft, quiet voice. She’s very gentle and kind, and hates fighting of any sort. She likes music, especially classical music that relaxes her, and very much enjoys visiting magic shops. She also enjoys the outdoors, as she wanders outside more so than waiting for something to happen inside. She also enjoys having fun with other people, although this proves to be difficult because of her nature.
She dislikes spicy foods and hot days, but enjoys the cooler weather, including snow, which she’s only seen once as a child. She does not believe in any sort of religion, although she’s easily influenced by other’s views, especially if she cares for the person. She normally stays away from any sort of meeting or party, liking to keep to herself more than try to make new friends, even though she’s extremely loyal. She tries to speak up for what she sees as right, even though she’s very easily hurt if her opinions are rejected or thrown aside. She has grown incredibly fragile due to her father's rough treatment of her, and the slightest indication of an insult can hurt her feelings.
Biography: Carillon was born in a small village just off the edge of a barren providence of common Warfield, used when she was barely conceived. She grew up with both parents at first, things seeming to shape up to a brilliant life for the young, happy girl. Carillon’s kind and loving mother passed away when she was a young girl of six of a strange disease, leaving her with one brother named Christopher Caristo, three years older than she. He grieved the fact as much as she did, perhaps even more, and swore to take care of his baby sister, always having been slightly over-protective of her. She loved talking with him, and the two marveled over the simplest things, such as a frog or salamander, of which there was an abundance of near their small cottage.
A few years after their mother’s death, their father grew more and more angry and violent, coming home drunk occasionally and yelling at Carillon, her brother stepping in to protect her, only to take her beatings for her. They suspected it was because he blamed Carillon for his wife's death, and refused to grieve over it. The years progressed, and so did the violence in the family, switching from arguing to yelling, to cursing, to hitting, and finally progressing to sexual abuse of his daughter. The two siblings quickly made plans, even at the young ages of twelve and fifteen, to make some money and to run away, living out life away from their father.
The two began to contemplate how to make enough money to survive out on their own, each idea paling in the ability to enact it. Still, they continued to think, until one day, after attending a local gypsy meet, Chris found out he had a special affinity for card tricks. Carillon soon began training to be his assistant in their own traveling magic show, for Chris contained two times the talent she had with slight-of-hand, and she knew it. She went to town when she heard another traveling magician had arrived in town, curious about the irony and wondering if he could perhaps instruct her on how to be a better magician’s assistant. His name was Anyth Ingshor Tofamiracle, and he was said to be the best magical performer in the history of magicians.
For a while, the bearded man and she both spoke and he seemed genuinely sympathetic with her situation. He told her she could do anything with magic, which really comes from the heart. Then he gave her a wand, meaning for it to be a simple trinket to keep inspiring her, not the relic he had discovered years earlier. However, due to a mix-up, Carillon took the real wand, which could in fact perform true magical feats. She told Chris all about it, and the night came for the bit debut of the tag team. At first, the small act went wonderfully, with several profits made before the intermission. Sure, a dove got loose here and there, and a card fell from her brother's sleeve, but it wasn't that bad, especially for a fifteen-year-old.
Carillon was extremely happy, so happy she could hardly believe it. She decided to take on the role in the very end of the magician, using the new wand she received. Unfortunately, as she stepped out onto the main stage, and began preparation for the Prestige, the greatest part of the magical act, disaster struck. Her father arrived in the middle of the show, clamoring for her. He threw his way past the audience, taking her left arm in one hand and pulling, while Chris quickly snatched the opposite arm. No sooner had Carillon shouted, “I wish you would just disappear!”, than it happened. In a terrible mix-up, it was not her father that disappeared, but Chris. Carillon caught a split second glance of his reflection, curiously behind the mirror used for illusions on the stage, before it disappeared.
A few years passed, and the anger and violence only served to increase with Chris’s disappearance. Carillon determined in her mind to leave, training when she found the spare time once she discovered her powers, sure she would find her brother. When she finally tried to leave her home on the day of her sixteenth birthday party, it was the perfect opportunity to try out her new powers. Her father blocked the door, trying to force her to remain. Pointing her wand at him, she whispered the magic phrase, causing a bunny to replace her father temporarily. She quickly leaped over him, running as fast as she could, nothing to take with her but her wand and her memories of her brother.
Now she searches for him, performing magic shows in her spare time to earn enough money to survive, developing her skills and continually searching for the one person in her life that has shown her any great kindness.
