Magical Abilities

Magic Type: Midchildan (17)

• Spellcasting (17+6 = 3M)
  • Erebus' magical circle burns a deep violet hue
• Flight (17)
  • Umbral Pinions. An abstract sketch of wings forms near Meiko's waist

• Defensive Spells (17+4 = 1M)
• Support Spells (17+4 = 1M)

Device

• Name: Erebus
• Form: Naginata
  • In dormant form, appears as a delicate bracelet of violet glass. In active form, it unfolds like a superdimensional fractal blossom into a lengthy naginata with a blade the same violet hue. Cartridges are stored at the base of the blade, where the guard would be on a conventional naginata.
• Voice: Dark Red Verdana (Male, informal: "Sure, boss.")
• Relationship: 17

Spells

• Frost Arbalest - Distance Attack (13)
  • A piercing hail of icy shards

• Chill Bastion - Defensive (6+5 = 11)
  • Like frost forming on a windowpane, a magical barrier coalesces into existance

• Soothing Murmurs of the Deep - Support (13)
  • Healing - an icy chill suffuses the recipient, numbing pain and banishing fatigue.

• Fade to Black - Support (6+5 = 11)
  • Meiko's form becomes monochromatic, then a black silhouette, then vanishes, appearing in a spray of shadows elsewhere as a teleportation effect (I'm looking at something like a cross between Nanoha's flash move and the forced transfer spell Yuuno uses on Arf... although those are all different spells. For the moment, let's say it's a personal transportation spell, and I'll eventually upgrade to those others?)

• Horizon Razor - Melee Attack (13)
  • Erebus moves so swiftly his path is visible only in the fading arc of his passage.

• Abyssal Flare - Distance Attack (17+10 = 7M)
  • A haze of Cherenkov light engulfs Erebus, casting sharp-edged actinic shadows, followed shortly by a furious lance of magic.

Other Abilities

• Ojousama 13+4 = (17)
  • Meiko's father is the CEO of a large corporation.
• Bijin (13)
  • A cool beauty
• Studying medicine 13+3 = (16)
  • She wants to learn how to help people, and does volunteer work (either at a clinic, or possibly a vet - working her way up to people)
• Classical education (13)
  • Both in Japanese pursuits (ikebana) and Western (plays the violin)
• Diligent Student (13)
  • Places the same emphasis on her schooling that she does every other aspect of her life
• Failure is not an option 13+5 = (18)
  • Not in school, nor personal life, nor her duties to her family
• Economy of Motion 13+2 = (15)
  • Precise in thought, in speech, in movements.
• The Naginata is a Proper Weapon for a Lady of Class 13+2 = (15)
  • Meiko doesn't expect to defend the castle while her husband's away anytime soon, but... it is traditional.
• TBD (13)

Familiar

• Coming Soon (13)

Flaws

• Unrequited Love (1M)
  • Meiko has had a crush on Ishikawa Ryuji, a boy in the class above her since elementary school. She applied to her current school because he was there. She has never been able to confess.
• Cold Exterior (1M)
  • She's very formal and polite, and tends to come off as a bit of an ice queen. For all that, she really wants friends.
