Description

Name: Calliope Ottava
Age: 21yr
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 148lbs
Race: Human
Orientation:Heterosexual
Occupation: Caretaker (Orphanage);Delivery Girl (Part Time)
Division: Diminuendo
Hometown: Traumerei

Class: Arcane Trickster

A rouge/magic class focused primarily on illusion casting and enhancing her rougish abilities. Theif at hearts are Arcane tricksters using spell work to conceal, cover or even trick the mind into thinking diffrently.

Weapon: Piff (piano short staff aka baton)
A unique short staff with piano keys circling around the main center of the staffs orb, when spinned to the left it plays notes lowers and when spinned to the right it plays the higher keys. Mixed well with Calliopes illusionary spells it has seem to taken a bit of a playful life of its own creating a more ragtime like tune when used. Its summoned by the right gauntlets gem.

Fighting Style:
Calliope is a more "stick to the back" aggressive fighter, when challenged she isn't one to run away, but is certainly one to bend the battle to her way! Using tricks and illusions is her forte bending dark magic to achieve these goals. And when her illusions fail her she has wind magic and light magic to back her up.

Magic Skills:

Nocturnes Dance [Dark]:
Her most used spell, a defensive spell used to cause a distraction by allowing her to conform the shape of the shadows to create copies of herself. Creating Mirrored copies who mimic her movements perfectly. When mixed with her wind magic, it can advance enough to create a trick of sound to make a false voice in another of the copies. Though this drains her quite quickly of energy and is used only when secured safely or as a last resort. The more copies made, the more she is drained and can easily just make one copie to do with as she whims to achieve her goals.

Estintos Gaze [Dark]:
A offensive spell used primarily to blind the opponent for a short time span in order to gain the advantage. Achieved when playing the lower notes of her piano and singing in a low tone. A rarely used spell due to her difficult time singing in a low tone.

Peu a Peu [Wind]:
A defensive move, swiftly made when spinning her staff while falling, casting a wind underneath her or the chosen target  allowings falls to become much slower, and at times almost as if they were simply descending as if down stairs.

Prestissimo [Wind]:
A wind strike quickly made with the swing of her staff mixed with her magic, is a pure forward offensive move and one that takes the a good amount of energy out of her due to its strength. Is the least musical of her attacks as it requires no singing or piano playing to summon.

Leggiadro [Light]:
A passive move, it allows her to create a small ball of light to use much like a torch in the dark, can only last up to about a half hour but can easily be casted with little energy needed considering it a basic spell. She will use this one commonly when out late working or to help guide the children home from their day of playing.Simply hums and summons it from her hand much like the Nocturnes Dance spell.

Personality:

+[cheerful ] +[brave] +[generous] +[loyal]

-[highly sensitive] -[naive] -[reckless]  -[stubborn]

Strong in morals and doing what right, Calliope is a beacon of generousity with her manners and actions. A giving soul growing up with a equally giving family she is a rather humble person, willing to give what she can if it were to help them get to a better spot. Unafraid of facing any challenge thrown at her, she can be extremely reckless with her bravery at times causing more trouble than intended. But despite this she is a rather optimistic person and one to believe that the best can be possible even in dire situations. Is extremely loyal to her promises, as she downright refuses to break any promise she makes. Always seen with a smile anywhere she goes and work in the other hand she is very hard working, though not afraid to stop and help someone if needed assistant.

This however is a double bladed sword, as having someone promise her something and break it, is much like if they had stabbed her own mother on mothers day! Regretfully this has also left her highly naive of the problems in reality, to stubborn to let go of her ideals and beliefs. She can't handle being told that things have gone sour and without a way to fix it! More often than not her emotions get in her way due to her high sensitivity, leaving her often dwelling on things that have long since past. She has a mixed sense of right and wrong, seeing things such as thievery and tricking as simple ways of life to help those who got the short end of the stick. At times a bit biased to those with a full lined pocket who try to understand the situation the orphans and her have been in.


History:
Calliope was born on a sunny summer day in the small village of Traumerei. Born from the towns small orphanage one would think that her parents merely had deserted her there --- but not in the slightest! In fact her parents are, and still the caretakers of the orphange. Afraid of never having one of their own it was seen as a blessing when discovered that her mother was pregnant. Growing up she had taken a role of a big sister to the orphans of the orphanage, to the point that at each adoption or loss would upset her greatly. As if each day she lost a sister or brother, though they always promised to visit when they could. She learned the art of music at a young age, learning off a old piano with the rest of the children as her mother taught them. Though feeling more interested in the large instrument compared to her siblings. She spent afternoons learning each key and melodies that she had made up in her head.

As she grew up, she was inspired by fairy tales, such as storys like Robin Hood and those of grand adventures. Due to the struggles her parents indured trying their best to take care of the children and herself. It wasn't to suprising that she had taken up theivery at a young age. At first little things, like a pastry here and there off a shopping cart, or a apple when one of the youngests of the gang had desired one. Though caught at first quite easily over time she became a expert at the sleight of hand and sneaking with making little noise. Easily finding tricks and methods to get the bits of food and things that her brothers and sisters so desired. Suprised one day while running from the local police to find with a whip of her hand that the shadows moved in her shape away, causing a distraction that allowed her escape. Dumbfounded by the spellwork she ran home excitedly to her parents and siblings, though scolded for her again crime spree. Eventually her parents were at least happy to discover that she had a skill with magic. Learning over time the tricks and trades to creating her illusions with practice (and many failures).

She acquired her weapon Piff when she had turned 18, a coming of age gift from her parents, siblings and friends. Suprised at such a expense on her part she felt more assured to help the children and carry on her parents lessens to help those that were in need. Now a full fledge adult (in the sense) she has taken on extra work making deliverys from the local general store for extra bits and small quests to earn what she can to help out. Though her theivery has gone to newer extremes to where at times she can't help but swipe things of value.

Extra:

Favorite Food:  Caramel Treats; mainly Caramel Apples
Favorite Drink: Spiced Apple Cider
Favorite Music: Mostly any as long as it has a upbeat tune

Hobbies: Singing, Piano, Jogging, and People Watching (when she has free time)
Likes: Caramels, Her Family, Friends (though has few outside her family...very few), Promises being kept, Apples, Cheerful Bouncy Music,
Dislikes: Somber Music, Seafood, Promises being broken, Snobs and Show Offs, Being watched,
Fears: Isolation and Ghosts


Fun Facts:
- Has a knack for Whittling, which is essentially a wood carver on the go.
- She loves making animals or people out of wood the most
- It is very possible that she has become a klepto
- She is a morning person, staying up late is rather difficult for her!
- Only the gem on her right wrist is real, the rest are all faked and painted to look like the real one.
- Has a bit of a weakness swiping apples when she gets the chance while out and about town, so apple carters beware!
- Shes rather good with stealth due to her theivery
- This also goes along with her canny abilities to pick locks and pockets
- Because of her sticky fingers shes rather agile and can jump and climb things rather quickly and with ease so she barely gets caught when being chased
