I can do everything to a limited degree. Fear this.

These backgrounds keep getting longer and longer don't they? Well here is Mauve's character, in all of her glory. (If that is what you want to call it).

Player: Mauve Mage

Name: Saundra Mondor

Description: Standing slightly taller than normall for women at about 5'9', she tends to dress for impression. Fine gowns, corsets that are difficult to breathe in, Saundra looks quite the part of a lady. The biggest thing though is that underneath her flowing gowns instead of delicacies she keeps much better fitting clothing. This makes her look a little bigger, but the fact that she is skinny as a rail doesn't make any difference. While she loves to impress and isn't exactly a fan of not looking nice, she is always prepared to do it.

Powers and Abilities:

Time Mastery: Saundra is attuned to the flow of time. She can make subtle changes, such as taking a quick peek at past events to see what to do in the present, or get a glimpse of what someone is about to do, so she can be just in the right place or make just the right move. If push comes to shove, she can traverse it harder, but there are issues with that, and it attracts the wrong kind of attention. (The last time you did this, you had to run from a couple of Neopolities, who felt the strain on time and had sent a couple of the Chocolate Warriors after you).

The Game Master: Saundra is incredibly skilled at the game of "Flemingway's Monsters" A card game in which people play monsters against each other. With recent advances in the game, holograms of these monsters appear and fight, so the game has taken off quite well. Homwever, none have been able to beat Saundra's ability, and its gotten drastic enough that certain foes of hers died after the battle, either due to random planes hitting them or collapsing buildings or unrelated heart attacks.

Items of Note:

Flemingway's Wrist Watch of Superiority: This handy little device straps to the wrist, and after what feels like needles sink into the skin and a strange whirl, it displays a health monitor, gets good wifi access, and can do some simple calculations. You use it mostly to read up on the card game, to make sure you are on top of your game. Oh, and the wrist watch is also what is responsible for making the holograms of card monsters appear.

Background:

Unlike everyone else in the party, Saundra grew up middle class and bored all the time. Her dad was an accountant, and her mom was a stay-at-home mom, and so she turned to gaming and internet at a young age to distract her. She stumbled across the newest card game that had come out, Flemingway's Monsters, and had loved it ever since. She played it into the wee hours of the morning, and started playing in tournaments with it, getting to a point where she could actually make a decent amount of funds with it.

The weirdest thing though happened when she played in the tournament. When she focused on her foe intently, she could see him make a move before he even did it. When she thought about what move to make, she could see how each one would play out simply before her, rather than actually run the scenario. This allowed her to easily beat the competition. However afterwards, she started wondering if such effects would occur if she focused elsewhere. So she started to, and realized she could peer into what looked like past and future events just before or just after they had occured. Test after test proved that she could do it flawlessly, and almost without effort.

One day, she decided to see if she could simply go back in time, and so focused like she always did, and when a previous scene appeared, instead of watching, she tried to force herself through. It took a great deal more effort, but she found that she had managed to go back in time. Later that day, a Neopolite dressed in all white came and spoke with her, and bluntly confronted her about her time travelling abilities. Saundra was put off by the attitude of the Neopolite that had approached her, and had refused to either join them or at least take heed in time travel.

Next time she tried it, she had managed to change an event from happening. She had played in a rather difficult tournament, and had realized she had constructed her deck wrong. So she went back in time, and warned herself of the cards and what she was going to face. Except when she got back, the second she encountered her previous self the two simply merged and she was herself again, except she remembered going back in time. It appeared the universe didn't like doubles, and if it saw one, it would simply make them one. However with her knowledge she then went on to play the same tournament and win it. However her time was cut short when a couple of Neopolites dressed in rich chocolate colors visited her, this time with weapons drawn. Things... didn't go well, and now Saundra is out on the run, with no home anymore to go back to thanks to what those knights did. The thing that she never realized though? Once she had finished that tournament, the whole competition had the building collapse after she left.

Frilly dresses, time travel and Yu Gi Oh.

The best character, right here, ladies and gentlemen.

phil_ · 08-23-2012, 05:05 PM

Steam-internet? Or does it function via the luminiferous ether?

This setting's kinda weird, you know?

Edit for below:

Inbred Chocobo · 08-23-2012, 05:41 PM

I think its just a series of tubes that people can connect to via the steam "cloud"

mauve · 08-24-2012, 01:23 PM

Am I allowed to give Saundra any other weapons or combat abilities, or is she limited to card game challenges to defeat her enemies?

Inbred Chocobo · 08-24-2012, 02:29 PM

You can give her other weapons, but no abilities. AKA you are better at card games than shooting guns.

Aldurin · 08-24-2012, 04:14 PM

What about guns that shoot card ~~games~~?

mauve · 08-24-2012, 07:42 PM

I'll just let you guys kill all the enemies, and then I'll take all the loot to buy cards to feed my obsession.

phil_ · 08-27-2012, 11:04 PM

So, Aldurin still hasn't gotten a dude yet (you are gonna roll one more, right?), but I feel like asking some stuff about Dan.

Werewolf stuff: How's Dan's sense of smell? Hearing range? Be they wolf or man? And what about clothes? Are we doing D&D "clothes morph too, no magic" style, or "Dan has lots and lots of extra clothes" style? Can I turn into a giant wolf with a top hat?

Potions stuff: Mostly, I wonder if Dan's focus is entirely on making people get better? Could he, say, make herbal smoke bombs, or bomb bombs? Could he learn to? Could he learn to make a range of potion effects such that his and Eirin's name could be interchangeable in the standard doujin Touhou manga plot description, "Eirin made a new medicine and dot dot dot?" In not-stupid terms, could he learn to do wide-ranging magic effects via potions?

Money stuff: Dan got a house? We gonna see this house? This house in a town? You gonna roll a town? That kind of stuff.
