~Character Info~

Waking up in the morning, your thoughts are cluttered. It takes a moment for you to fully become aware of your surroundings, but once you do, everything about your life comes back to you.[/center][/b][/i]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Name ~ : Aoide (pronouced "ey-oi-dee")

Age ~ : 15

Birthplace ~ : Hollow Bastion/Radiant Garden

Gender ~ : Female

Race ~ : Human

Special Class ~ : Member of the Hollow Bastion Restoration Comittee

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Appearance~

As you are heading out the door of your house, a small glimmer of light catches your eye. You turn around and see a mirror, putting you face to face with your reflection.

[/b][/i]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Physical appearance ~ : Aoide has short, boyish hair the color of fresh snow. It falls over her eyes, but they don't iritate her--she's blind and therefore has no need for cropped hair. There are gray outlines on her pupils and irises, but otherwise they seem dead. Her blindness lends to her lack of sunlight, which makes her skin extremely pale. Despite this, she seems to be fit and healthy--people envy her because of this. Aoide blames it on her great genes (or rather, her great metabolism). This snow-white girl reaches an average height of 5'5", her center of balance being in her waist/hip area. Depending on the clothes she wears, Aoide can have a perfect hourglass shape or a boyish rectangle shape. It's quite unfair for her to be unable to see herself in the mirror...

Clothing/Accessories ~ : This girl changes her clothing depending on how she feels--she cannot see her clothing and therefore is often mismatching. If the climate is hot, she will wear less clothing such as t-shirts, tank tops, shorts, skirts, etc. If it's cold, she will bust out the parka and snowboots. When there are times she cannot change her clothing (ex: on an adventure with friends), she will usually be in the clothes she started wearing from the very beginning. It's hard on her if there's much traveling being done.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Personality~

As you're walking through the door, you see many sights that influence your mood. The different feelings that suddenly wash over you are many, leaving you with a strange mix of emotions.

[/i]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alignment ~ : Good, generally, but can be influenced to be evil if there's reason enough.

Behavior ~ : Being blind makes Aoide very humble and a little insightful. She envies those with sight but wouldn't wish to gain it--she fears the things she might see and become one of the very plastic people she despises. She has heard the "mature" slogan often and takes it all in stride. There's really nothing that can anger her, unless it deals with other people such as her friends. It's only then that she will release pent-up rage, not all of it exactly hitting her target...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Weapons~

Suddenly, a Heartless appears in front of you, brandishing its claws and threatening to attack. You reach for your weapon and equip it, ready to defend yourself.

[/i][/b]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Primary Weapon(s)

ID: Cantare
Quality: Average

This sword, strangely enough, seems to have a quiet mind of it's own and shows it's personality through aura waves, shudderings, and the like. Think Stormbringer from Michael Moorcock's The Chronicles of Elric series. Cantare also acts as Aoide's guide in battle, showing and telling which way to thrust, slash, block and even dodge. It's not always correct, so Aoide does take some damage... occassionally... often...

Secondary Weapon(s)

ID: Danza

This weapon is a whip designed to disarm rather than harm. It is a rather dumb weapon because of Aoide's eyes, but can become a valuable asset coupled with one of her sight-giving abilities.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Abilities~

Just as you're about to fight the creature, you feel the power of your ancestors filling you. The strength of a thousand men courses through your veins as you prepare for battle.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AP left:

Intuizione
This ability allows Aoide to see, although not perfectly--the world is dead black and everything is outlined in white. Heartless are outlined in rainbow colors, plus some colors that humans are unable to see to the naked eye. Adding more AP allows Aoide to see things hidden behinds walls, doors, closed curtains and other sight-blocking solid objects. It won't let her see through clothes, though... hrm...

Strength: Low
Uses: Since it doesn't deal any damage, Aoide can use it for as long as she likes... as long as there's AP available and the situation becomes desperate (such as in a battle or escaping).

Tenebre
Within a range of 10 meters, everyone within that area becomes just as blind as her. It cannot be seen by anyone, but only lasts for a moment anyways. After that, those caught in the darkness stay blind for only a post. During that time, Aoide and her comrades can attack effectively. But beware--even friends can become blind. She will usually let everyone know when she will use this ability, so anyone caught is either deaf or stupid.

Strength: Medium
Uses: Three times a battle--must be used wisely.

Summons

Name: Cerberus

Appearance: A gigantic, three-headed dog with a fearsome set of teeth... or rather three. From floor to shoulder (standing), Cerberus stands about 24' tall. His red eyes are just a tad shy of freezing your very soul. The muscles set upon his body only prove how strong and massive he is. The white claws upon this behemoth's feet are stronger than steel, cacpable of ripping into nearly anything.

Abilities: Double, Triple, Foul Play

AP: 48

Double:
Casts the spell Double on master and allies. Double allows the one casted on to cast two spells at the same time--up to two different targets allowed for cast.

Strength: Medium
Uses: 2 in one summoning.

Triple:
Same as Double, but allows user and allies to cast three spells at the same time. Target rules are the same--one spell for one of three targets allowed.

Strength: High
Uses: One in one summoning.

Foul Play:
Each Cerberus head breathes a noxious gas at enemies--similar to Malboro's Bad Bread, yet it only casts three different but powerful status affects on the target: Poison, Confusion, and Beserk. Allies are not immune, so it's their duty to stay out of range.

Strength: High
Uses: One in one summoning


Elemental Resistance: Darkness, Fire, Poison

Elemental Weakness: Holy

History: Cerberus is best known for being Hades' guard dog, the fierce beast which guards the gates. Also known for getting the crap kicked out of him by the hero Hercules.

~History~

As you slay the last of the beasts, you put your weapon aside, and walk away, knowing your tale of bravery will be told for thousands of years to come.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the beginning, there was nothing...

She has not once seen light in her life. Aoide has no idea what the color the sky is (although they tell her it's blue) and can't tell who is beautiful and who is ugly. To her, a person's personality is what makes them beautiful or ugly. She is beautiful to herself, but doesn't know if she is beautiful to others or not. Although she will say she doesn't care what they think, on the inside she really does.

In her life, Aoide has made few friends--most thought she was weird or different because of her inability to see, and mostly because her blank, white eyes scared them. Since her childhood, her friends all moved away or stopped playing with her, and she became very lonely indeed. This isolation made her even more strange--most thought her of some crazy shy girl who didn't want to see anyone. Some thought her stupid and/or mentally retarded. Fear makes its monsters.

One day while out playing in her well-shaded backyard, Aoide met a stranger who gave her the sword Cantare. He (or she, Aoide wasn't sure) made some hasty explanation as to why he/she had to give it to her, most of which she doesn't remember because of the lack of volume in the person's voice not to mention time eroding her memories. All she really knows was that someone gave it to her, said a few words, and rushed off. Aoide believes that it may have been some distant family member warning her, or maybe some legendary hero that dropped some fate upon her with the sword.

When Heartless began attacking her home, Aoide began to fight back with Cantare, believing that this was the reason the stranger had given it to her. Magic sword or not, Hollow Bastion was taken away and she was forced to live in Traverse Town. She doesn't feel sad or angry that it had been taken away (now that it has been restored) and protects it with her life. She often trains with the other Comittee members so that she may lend her services better. She still has that nagging blindness, though...
