Hecate Rothchild

[Hecate Rothchild]

CHARACTER NAME: Hecate Rothchild
CHARACTER SOURCE: Original
CHARACTER HISTORY: Hecate's life was quiet and uneventful even for a peasant of Vestura, walled city of the west. That is until the day she turned 15, her parents wailed with terror as they opened the door of their small home to find Armed Vesturan Guards and a letter of conscription . Both parents protested loudly as the Men stepped through the threshold of the small home and seized Hecate, striking her with a large blunt object, knocking her out cold.

When she awoke she found herself bound, surrounded by other children  of the same age. Eyes filled with despair, defiance and fear filled the room. Despite this Hecate remained calm, her deep blue eyes seemed to watch everyone as though studying the different feelings in the room. Her thoughts were interrupted by a tall  slender fiery haired woman no older than 30 who strode into the room with a strong aura of authority. "From this point forward, you are all soldiers of Vestura. Any insubordination or disruption shall be met with appropriate force. Look to those around you and realize this, only one, possibly two of you will survive the training.

A young girl stood up and began to speak, as if asking a question "What if we do.." she was cut off as the Woman who was presumably in charge glared at the girl. Flames erupted in a geyser at her feet consuming the  young girl in flame, her question replaced by screams of pain went deathly silent as the flames disappeared as swiftly as they had appeared. Where a young woman once stood, a charred husk of a human being now lay collapsed on the flood, charred black. The putrid scent of burnt hair mingled  with burnt meat filled the small room. The  woman didn't even seem to notice "Any more questions?" she said spitefully as if daring another child to speak. "As I was saying , You will be separated and tested one by one and moved to where you shall be training. A word of advice." She said  as she paused "Dont make friends with anyone whom you cant kill later." And with that she walked off into a dark hallway.

Hecate was pulled into a room and a sharp blade drawn against the palm of her hand. As crimson liquid pooled up in her hand she stifled a cry. The blood in her hand was poured into a small vial and some clear liquids were added to the vial. The blood in the Vial turned to ice right away.

Separated and isolated from the other kids Hecate felt something stir inside the depths of her mind almost as if she was watching herself. The next three years Hecate spent every waking moment training her body and mind. Between the beatings and rampant sexual abuse That feeling deep in her mind became more and more potent, often times Hecate felt herself shifting with whatever it was inside her.

The day of the graduation ceremony was the final test, she had been accepted into the Witch Corps, a band of women   capable of controlling the various elements and bending them to their will. Hecate had learned to control Ice, scorend by her fellow cadets for this Hecate had retreated into a self absorbed bubble, keeping to herself even more. A battle royale, where in order to graduate the cadet was forced to kill two or more of her former comrades. Something snapped in Hecate as she watched her body summon Saishu Sasayaki, her spiritual swords of ice and immidietly cut down one of the girls, the out of body feeling bothered her but who or whatever was controlling her body thirsted for more and more carnage. She watched as one girl snuck up behind her aiming for a deathblow in the back. Hecate screamed to her body as a flash of white  blasted around her.

When she opened her eyes, she was back in control of her body, in a place she had never seen before

Attire: Hecate is often seen wearing a white military style uniform with grey accents. On her right arm is a thick cloth in a dark grey. Her clothes are often stained with blood despite her reputation as a neat freak.
Her weapons of choice is a pair of long daikatana that she has dubbed Saishu Sasayaki (last whisper) these blades channel her abilities in the same way a wizard might use his staff allowing her to use her Ice attacks .
The blades are both pale white with black embellishments and black wrapped handles, notably they are missing any form of guard. Hecate keeps these weapons on her back and right side, and is able to draw the one on her right faster than the back sheathed one due to her left hand being dominant.

PERSONALITY DESCRIPTION: Hecate is a young woman with an affinity for manipulating ice,  her abilities match her personality, cold and harsh. Hecate has a mental disorder that has given way to a second personality, one that warships bloodletting and mutilation.
Hecate is cold and calculating, but both personalities are loyal though the more violent one has a messed up perception of loyalty.
Hecate is considered a neat freak by everyone around her, as well as a control freak. Due to her dual personality the few who know of her second personality can tell which personality based on her eye color.

I confirm that I have read and agreed to the Rules of Conduct.
Where did you find us? Koehler invited me

Welcome! This form is looking good, we'll just need some kind of history and you should be good to go. Doesn't need to be super in-depth, just whatever background you think will be useful. Be sure to mention when in your character's history they were taken to the Omniverse.

Thanks!

History looks good.

For your move, can you describe the stamina drain a bit better? Saying it lasts until she tires out is pretty vague. Also, how quickly does the slow effect ramp up? Is the freezing ability something that happens whenever she uses the swords or is it something she can choose to invoke or not use? If it's something that always happens you don't need to pay 600 for it.

EDIT: Also be sure when you're writing up a move to list which powers and proficiencies the move would require. In this instance that would be Physical Strength and Debuff Proficiency. Obviously not a huge deal now as you're brand new, but in the future.

[Hecate Rothchild]

Pardon my misunderstanding but I'm a little confused on how to show how the effect would ramp up, rather I intend it to have a direct effect based on the sevarity of the wound inflicted.

Do you mean if the sword would do more damage to an opponent, the debuff would be worse? If so, you can just say what the 'upper limit' of the strike would deliver. Like "at worst, each strike could cause numbness, with each additional hit causing this effect to become more severe", or something like that. And for the ramping up bit I was meaning like how much stronger would the effect get with each hit against the average person, since you mentioned that it is cumulative. For the duration, you'll need to nerf that a bit since could allow you to possibly immobilize an enemy's limbs for the whole fight, which isn't gonna fly. You might consider making the effect wear off over time, but refresh when struck again, if you'd like.

As for the edits you've made above, you still need to list Physical Strength as a requirement and drop the cost to 300, unless there's some other additional effect I'm not seeing. Also, regular moves would never cost SP so you can take that part out.

[Hecate Rothchild]

Ok, do you have any advice on how I can gauge the fatigue on hecate for using this?

[Mark]

I would probably just do something basic like "she can deal a few hits and not be too drained, but dealing more than X number would drain her energy and leave her breathless". The exact numbers would depend on what you do with the severity of the wounds thing; I'd add in something like '5+ hits on a limb of the average foe' or something like that if you're describing it in terms of a really bad wound. On someone with lower DEF it would be fewer hits and someone with a higher DEF it would be more hits, so something vague like that works out well. As for the duration, 3 minutes is too long of a duration of the freezing effect (at least for the upper levels of freezing; 3 minutes of numbness is no big deal, but having your leg frozen solid for 3 minutes is way too powerful), unless you want to add in something about her needing to constantly concentrate on the effect to maintain it, or if you want to add in a way for your enemy to shake off the effect.

Since this move is rather complex, if you'd rather move this discussion to the Move Approval thread and I can just approve you without it for now so that you can start writing, I have no problem doing that. Otherwise we can keep hashing it out here if you want, either one works for me.

[Hecate Rothchild]

I will work on it in move approval so we can hash it out in there

[Mark]

Alright, sounds good. Approved!
