[X]Celia Abbott

Hello everyone!

It has been a while. I was hoping that I could make the site start up again by it's 1st birthday, but that didn't work out. Sorry for that.

We're moving! Instead of revamping the whole site, we are moving to a new one, this time on proboards. (I apologize in advance if you are trying to read a thread you participated in but found that it has been deleted) The new site is still under development. So, if you are interested and want to get more information on the site like the progress on that, just send a pm to me.

If you are looking for a thread or any threads had been deleted, just send me a pm as well.

RWBY ROLEPLAY
CHARACTER SHEET

Full Name: Celia Abbott
Gender: Female
Nickname: N/A
Age: 17
Birthday: January 17th
Race: Faunus - Siberian husky
Aura: Sensory Amplification
Aura Color: Storm blue-gray
Semblance:

Clarity:

Physical: Celia is of moderate height and thin profile, standing at 5’ 6” but weighing a measly 112 pounds. Her body structure is fairly thin with hardened, defined musculature dispersed throughout what little of her body is not comprised of bone. Her skin is mostly smooth, though her palms, forearms, and the soles of her feet are reasonably scarred and toughened from her years of climbing trees. Her eyes are a piercing gray, the same color of storm clouds above an ocean on a cold day, and are filled with mystery and tenderness. Her black hair is moderately short, cut just below her shoulders, and is always left straightened and untied, with her bangs tucked behind her ears for maximum view. If she had it her way she would simply chop it all off, but her parents have insisted on keeping it at a reasonable length.
Her base layer consists of very simple parts. She sports a black tank top with her gray symbol emblazoned on the front, along with a pair of comfortably tight jeans, darkened and faded with wear and covered with tears and rips. On her feet, she wears a pair of very old, dark brown mid-calf leather boots, which hug her legs and allow her to move and run relatively freely. On the outside, she wears her prized cloak - a waterproof, windproof black travelling cloak trimmed with silver, with an oversized hood that comfortably restricts her hair and keeps away rain and wind without constricting her vision too much. Over the torso of the cloak she wears a two-strap harness (one around the waist, one across the chest) that her quiver hooks to when her bow is not in use. She wears her gauntlets under her sleeves at all times.

Weapon: https://rwby-roleplay.rpg-board.net/t58-silvermoon
Fighting Style: Celia is a mainly range-based fighter. Though her knife fighting is nothing sneeze at, her skill with a bow is near unparalleled. She’s adept at moving quickly and efficiently and is highly agile, generally favoring dodging as opposed to blocking incoming attacks. She is not one to engage immediately, often opting to sit back and observe before finding the best angle from which to strike silently. She does not usually attack directly, it’s too risky for someone like her that has low defensive capabilities. Her strikes are quick and efficient, though often lacking in strength. Her marksmanship is impeccable, and nothing escapes her observant eyes.

Eyes: Storm blue-gray
Hair: Natural Black, cut to shoulder length, haphazardly brushed down smooth, ears protrude slightly but blend in colorwise.
Height: 5’ 6”
Weight: 112 lbs

Personality: Celia tends to remain silent and keep to herself most of the time, due to her lack of experience with socialization. However, she is fiercely loyal to any and all friends, oftentimes sacrificing her own needs to ensure that they are happy. She treasures her friendships and her time with friends, holding those moments as among the greatest of her life. She is a kind soul, putting others’ needs above her own. She is a bit of an “old” soul, very motherly and nurturing, and wise well beyond her years. She tries her best to appear calm and collected on the outside, but the inside is a different story. When not in the presence of a friend or family member, she is overtaken by a crushing sense of loneliness and isolation, which will often cause her to lapse into a session of self-analysis. She’ll reflect on herself and her lost memories, trying to determine why she is the way she is. She is highly vulnerable to her own emotions, and they can often influence her actions if they are strong enough.
Oftentimes when she falls asleep or loses focus, she will speak to her weapon’s “Spirit”. Within her mind is a second voice that calls itself Ari, that often appears as an auburn-haired young woman dressed in a plain white robe, armed with her bow Silvermoon. Ari claims she is the spirit of Silvermoon given form, but secretly she is more than just that.

Goals:
1. To become a Huntress
2. To find and destroy one particular Nevermore
3. To find out what memories she is missing
Fears:
Silence - though accustomed to the quietness provided by the woods at night, Celia is terrified of complete and absolute silence. Her whole sense of safety lies in being able to perceive.
Blood - For reasons unknown (to her), Celia has always had a major fear of blood, specifically the blood of other people. People say it's common to feel uneasy around blood, but she knows it's far more than just that.
Bad Habits:
Chewing - Celia chews on things when she's nervous, which is quote often, and always keeps a pack of gum handy just in case the urge arises. This can create problems out in the field, so she often opts to leave the gum behind when in her natural element.
Analyzing - Oftentimes, Celia finds herself psychoanalyzing and assessing the people around her without any conscious effort. Her years of hunting have led her mind to automatically take in and analyze anything and everything around her, and it's something she cannot really stop.
Likes:
Small Animals - She enjoys the company of small animals, and has a strange knack for befriending them (sometimes unintentionally).
Outdoors - Celia enjoys the open air that the outdoors provides, as opposed to the stuffy, cramped indoors.
Music - Celia is a sucker for classical music, and even plays a little bit herself. She’s a competent violinist, but she’s far from ready to play in an orchestra. It’s more of a hobby for her.
Dislikes:
Too Many People - Her enhanced senses make her more acutely aware of things around her, and a drove of yelling, sweaty people is definitely not something she enjoys being near.
Loud Things - Her ears are very sensitive, and she hates loud noises of any kind.
Eye Contact - Not necessarily a dislike, but an avoidance. She sees eye contact as a very intimate action and tends to avoid it when she can. She limits eye contact solely to friends and family, and even then it’s only momentary. Extended eye contact is reserved for her lover.
Parents: Gabriel and Holly Abbott
Siblings: Older sister, Sarah Abbott (deceased)

History:
Celia was born the youngest daughter of Holly and Gabriel Abbott, a small family who lived and worked in the mountains a ways away from Vale, as part of a self-sufficient community of farmers and hunters. As the eldest child, her sister, Sarah (armed with a tome of "magic"), had been raised to fight and defend from an early age, serving as a guard for their small village. Sarah began to attend Signal shortly after Celia's birth. When she was young, it was found that Celia was highly proficient in tracking and shooting with a bow, and was raised as a traditional hunter. Celia began her time in Signal not long before her sister moved on to Beacon, her prodigal skill landing her an easy spot in the academy. Celia learned and trained and continued to hunt in her spare time, and eventually became the primary source of food in her village. They lived a good life in the mountains.
Then came a turning point in her life. During their vacation from shool, Sarah and her team, SPHR, came to visit for spring. It was a calm time for everyone, a good season with a high crop yield, many celebrations, and fantastic weather. But then came some terrifying news. A group of hunters returned to the village after dark one night, beaten and bloodied. They woke everyone in the village and delivered the news: A Nevermore was on it's way, one larger than any of them had even thought possible. It was less than a day away, and because the town was so far removed from any other city it would take a full day for a proper team of Hunters would arrive. They were on their own. Team SPHR, the only people capable of properly fighting something so incredibly dangerous, prepared themselves for a battle the next day.
The Nevermore arrived right on schedule, a pitch-black mass of steel-like feathers, almost as large as the mountain the town sat upon. Team SPHR was upon it instantly, throwig a barrage of everything they could directly at the creature. The bird shrugged them off easily. Her teammates fell, one by one, the bird proving too much for them. As Sarah stood alone, the bird struck her through with it's beak, pinning her to the ground. Using the all of her strength, Sarah cast a bolt spell straight into the bird's face, blinding it and dazing it. The bird was so disoriented that it flew far off, deeper into the mountains. Sarah lay there dying, a large hole in her chest. Celia ran out to her sister, holding on to some small hope that she might be able to save her, but she knew she couldn't. With her dying breath, Sarah told her sister to do what she could not, and protect the people. She gave Celia her cloak and, with the last bit of power she had, dazed Celia. Celia fell unconscious on top of her sister who, in her last moment, whispered into her ear:
"I will always be beside you....always."
Celia awoke a week later, her senses scrambled and her memory in pieces. Sarah had written a will the night before the event, and had stated her intent within the document. She wished for Celia to continue her training, and said that she would wipe Celia's memories of her existence, as she wanted her to become a Huntress out of desire to protect, not to seek revenge.Sarah left Celia her battle cloak for comfort.
The memory wipe caused Celia's personality to alter into something less chipper and more calm. She continued her training through Signal and into the next years, always diligent in her studies. But something always nagged at her while she was in school. She always had this lingering sense of sorrow and numbness, as if something had happened to her...something she could not remember.

Huh. I don't really have much to say here. Everything is quite well written. Your semblance connects well to your character, even though I'm slightly cautious of its function - I trust that you will balance it out. I like how your enhanced senses has its own drawbacks rather than only positives. I'm curious how this second voice is gonna play out in your character's development. Overall, I decree this application:
