New Character - Moira Branwen - Moira - 01-14-2017
Character Name: Moira Branwen
Character Source: Original
Character History: Born into a wealthy family, Moira had just about everything. Well, except for expectations, goals, and the adoration of her parents, but she was your average girl nonetheless. While her family oversaw affairs in stock and trade, dabbling in business with other empires and the like, Moira wouldn't do much outside of playing with her friends and laying around in her tower for most of her childhood years, as far as everyone else knew. Beneath the surface, you could find her in the family's library, picking out the more dubious tomes from her family's collection and practicing dark arts in her bedroom, mimicking the cultists she would often watch while playing outside, before they chased her off anyway. This went on for years on end, honing her skills in witchcraft and the like.
One day, peering through the telescope on her balcony revealed an invasion in the next town over, pirates invading this quaint little port village seemingly without any casualties. Needless to say, she was inspired. What better way to put an end to her seemingly eternal cabin fever than to set out to sea and plunder whoever she likes! With that, she packed her tomes, grimoires, and her teddy bear U'rszak, swiped some money right from her family's reserves, and bought herself a mighty ship! She never returned on that note, leaving her neglectful family.
The years pass and her gains grow with her bounty, even buying enough teddy bears to form her own crew, using the rest as little magic test subjects. Moira likes teddy bears. Her first mate, U'rszak, was a gift from her parents, one of the only gifts they had every given her and the only thing she has to remember them by. The bear itself was tattered and discolored, grotesque tentacle-like appendages bursting from the belly seam and idly writhing. Her pack of teddy bears are animated with magic, so as not to get too lonely out at sea.
Fascination with stuffed bears aside, one night she had just a tad too much to drink and blacked out, hitting the floor with a mighty thud before waking up in the presence of Omni.
Physical Appearance: Moira is known for her auburn hair, red peaked cap, and facial tattoos-- a large crimson "X" and little "stitches" covering her mouth to match her first mate. [spoiler] Here's a little WIP thing I did, it's not quite done but it gives an idea of her tattoos! http://i.imgur.com/6BIWCTA.png Just pretend her cap is red and her crest is gold~ [/spoiler]
Stats - (First Stat Upgrade - 1000)
ATK: 5
DEF: 2
SPD: 2

Starting Profiencies
Physical Strength - 1000 OM
Area Shield - 400 OM
Starting Moves
Celestial Warhammer and Dark Matter Shield - 1200 OM (requires Physical Strength and Area Shield Proficiency)
In the realm of divine powers, Moira is no stranger to the astral realm. Earning these glistening starmetal arms from one of her stranger voyages out on the sea, Moira realized after coming in contact with these items, she could summon them at will, not unlike a Prime would in the Omniverse.
As for the weapons themselves, the Celestial warhammer comes in at a decently large 3 foot length, her shield one and a half foot in diameter; this combined with it's measly 5 pound weight allows Moira to seamlessly switch from two-handing the hammer and keep her shield up less than a second later. These stellar, dark purple weapons adorned in some of the finest and hardest wooden materials in her own universe are almost nigh-indestructible in nature, though Primes may have an easier time finding their way around that.
To counteract this, Moria's Dark Matter shield is able to project a protective field of dark energy that bubbles around the witch at a 1 meter diameter, as if a body of celestial debris surrounded her as it fully summoned, taking about 2 seconds to project and keep up. This energy keeps her decently safe from ranged attacks, but doesn't prevent melee attacks from hitting her as her normal shield would. Moria can keep this energy shield up for about 5 seconds before it flickers away. As due result of the energy being exerted, Moria can get quite exhausted if the full 5 second duration passes without lowering her shield.
Primes and secondaries with enough patience can realize a well placed kick or constant melee pressure within the bubble will keep Moira at bay, not to mention if they can sneak an attack in before the energy field formed fully, or worse yet, hit her from behind as she kept her shield up, but... only if they dare come close to the warhammer in her hand.
Though she is unable to attack keeping her energy shield up, Moria is able to convert the kinetic energy her shield absorbs and channel it as potential energy for her warhammer in order to later attack with and use against her opponents later on. After all, revenge is sweet, and Moira had a thing for treats, despite how sensitive her teeth seem to be nowadays!
I have read the rules of conduct and have agreed to the terms!

Alsooo, could I request a name change? To Moira, preferrably!

I had started a thread long ago about a character named Roxy Ri'saad, but that never went anywhere so disregard that if you will~

Instead, incorrectly stumbling out the words resulted in a portal in the floor, sucking her, her crew, and seemingly her ship in along with it. This was a portal to the Omniverse, a sea that was never intended to be sailed.
Sorry, but your character can't be the instigator of the summoning by Omni. Omni brings people into the Omniverse unexpectedly, alone, and without their say so. As amusing as it would be, a gigantic pirate ship cannot fall out of the Nexus sky along with your character.

To counteract this, Moria's Dark Matter shield is able to project a protective field of dark energy around her to keep safe from ranged attacks and more powerful melee strikes that may be coming her way.

Okay, okay, so, spell this out for me. There's the warhammer, which functions as a warhammer. That accounts for 300 OM. There's a shield, which can function as a.... shield, like wielding it on your arm and blocking an attack. Also accounts for 300 OM. BUT! This shield also can project some energy field AROUND your character to defend her? That would bump this move's price up to 900 OM, which brings you over the 5000 OM limit.
Once you've decided what to remove from your app to reduce your spent OM total, I'll check again!

Whoops, forgot to mention that I edited it! Thanks for the name change ;v;

How long does it take to activate this shield? It has to have some kind of drawback, so does it fatigue Moria somehow? How long can she keep it up (until it is broken? Until she is too tired to maintain it?) What does the protective field of dark energy look like? Also, it shouldn't be able to keep her safe from more powerful melee strikes without massive stamina/energy drain on your character. I would add the phrase that it "might be able to keep her safe", because the outcome of these things is determined by stats.
That bolded part also isn't something you can do without making the move even more variable and adding another 300 OM to the price. The attacking strength of the warhammer has to be always the same/not actually influenced by the amount of energy stored to stay at the current price.
For the warhammer and shield, in general, I'm going to need to ask that you give those some drawbacks, as well. Are they difficult to lift/swing/etc.? Can the warhammer be swung with the ease of a baseball bat, or something else that is indicative of its heft?
RE: New Character - Moira Branwen - Mark - 02-02-2017
I see that Moira has updated this since Jade's last post, but we're still needing answers to a few of her questions before we can continue (just so it's obvious why there's a wait.)
