[A Spoony Bard]

At the request of Zecro, I've transferred over my character from his older Magical Burst game to the new system, though before I post it, I'd like to ask you other players a question. In the (still WIP) backstory of my character, her father dies and the hands of a witch, which has a major hand in her conflict and deciding to make the wish. I am reluctant to post my character sheet, however, because this backstory contrasts so much with the ones already posted. I'd like to ask you all if it seems too out of place or contrasts too much with those already posted.

[Flying Dice]

I don't think so, honestly. I'd be more worried if all of our backstories and motivations were similar.

[Sirus]

My character's background and motivation are simple: mom's corner store is failing, father works long hours to keep family afloat, character's free time almost entirely eaten up by sweeping out the store and doing homework. She turns to violence as a means of acting out her frustrations, runs into a witch (which she can't fight as a normal person), makes pact to be able to fight them.

[Farce]

Lotsa people don't seem to have too much to do with their parents, so I think having sommat parent-centric would be pretty cool.  Mine are sorta 'just there', personally.  <:x

Also @ Zecro, is it alright if I toss out Eat Anything and keep the custom one?  I'm not sure if it's OP or what.

[Zecro_The_Scourge]

Influencing Mortals is a rather easy thing to do, especially with a Magical Power. But just know that those with Magical Potential (ie humies to be contracted) will be able to resist it with effort.

[A Spoony Bard]

Alright, here's what I have for my character, if you notice some that seems off/wrong, please tell me.

Spoiler: Character Sheet (click to show/hide)

Personality- Cold/Reserved toward others, focused on efficiency and money, but not to the extent of endangering others
Name- Luka Yilmaz (Turkish)
What kind of character are you - Glass Cannon/High Damage (Hopefully) Medium Range
Backstory-
Luka is the daughter of a rich businessman, or rather, was the the daughter of a rich businessman. At one point, when visiting the arcology, for business (for her father) and schooling (for herself) reasons, an area in which she and her father were in fell under a witch's influence. She narrowly escaped with her life. Her father, however, was not so lucky. With only her clothes and a briefcase of belongings to live upon, she turned to the company for help, trying to take her father's place. For several weeks, she was spurned by the workers and executives due to her young age, feeling rejected and generally helpless, she made a wish for complete control of the company. Traumatized by previous events, over the next few weeks, she grew cold/reserved. (She's ruled the company for 2-ish weeks prior to the start of the game.)

What convinced you to make a contract- The death of her father and rejection by others
What is your wish- For complete control of the company and its assets
What is your Crisis- Death of her father and, to a lesser extent, her rejection by others
Costume:
A business suit and skirt, made of sand. The upper part of it is made up of black sand, and the skirt flows all the way to the ground, merging with the dirt and earth of the ground, and creating a puddle of sand around her feet, making it look similar to a gown. As it draws nearer to the ground, it becomes paler and more akin to the color of natural sand, creating a gradient. Various earthen gems are drawn up from the earth upon transformation, and used to gild the cuffs and collar of the outfit.

When it hits the enemy, all the collected earth attaches to the inside of the wound or the area of contact, weighing down the enemy.

Personality
Name: Elonea Arcallo
What kind of character are you? Rather quiet and calm, but usually perceptive.
What convinced you to make a contract? Unbearable loneliness stemming from frequent moving.
What is your wish? I wish I had friends I can't be seperated from.
What is your Crisis? Family broke up as a result of frequent moves.
Costume: A rather bland purple dress. She has three dolls tied to her waist.

Backstory
Elonea was born in Italy to an upper-middle-class family and grew up in the city of Rome. There is nothing really worthy of note except for the fact that she has been forced to move all over the world as a consequence of her mother's job with an important corporation specializing in IT businesses.
Since she never quite had enough time in any particular place to learn the language in question, she is only fluent in English and retained very basic knowledge of Italian which had rusted due to not having been used for quite some time.
As a result, she has not quite had the opportunity to get particularily close to anyone and focuses more on making, dressing (and some say, even talking) dolls of various kinds.

Relationships & Attribute Associated
Julia Arcallo, Mother, Heart-type relationship (Family ties)
Venezia, Napoli, and Catania, dolls - imaginary friends - weapons, Magic-type relationship

Sheesh. That took some time. Here's my Meguca. How do you like Italian flavor?

Influencing Mortals is a rather easy thing to do, especially with a Magical Power. But just know that those with Magical Potential (ie humies to be contracted) will be able to resist it with effort.

I uh, meant being able to buff the party for +2 every turn, but okay.

Also, so like, if any if you lot haven't, you should totally watch Madoka Magica, the show this is based off of.  It's pretty awesome.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZPSPFNupZw
(Don't click around too much, though, it's spoilers galore.  Make sure to get through at least episode 3)

Regarding the former, no. Also as a note I'm rolling Scatter-Die for your wish, for balance purposes.

[Farce]

I-I am not sure what that means, but okay.

Suggestions on what to do with her power then?  Ditch it and just grab one of the ones in the book?  Or can I tweak it to be acceptable?  Take an overcharge per use, lower the bonus, make it single-target.  Would really like an area/party-buff of some sort that doesn't cost Overcharge, but then, I would also like for my Meguca to live happily forever and that of course sorta defeats the point.
