Armor:
Guise of the Perfects - A throwback outfit of her former life, Celest’s armor is for show rather than actual protection or coverage. Unlike the usual sneaky male ninjas who hide themselves in the shadows, a beautiful well built woman like Celest is more apt to flaunt her body against opponents in order to distract and disorient. This black suit is a thin sleeveless trench coat like covering made of a breathable material similar to cotton. Even with no front, except for a small zipper running up her throat like a turtle neck to keep it shut, the attire’s top seems to have the same magnetic attraction to her as her weapons, clinging tightly to her torso and chest, allowing only a bit of side cleavage to show while it just hangs limply from below her rib cage and ending at about ankle length. The short like 'bottoms' aren't too far away from just wearing a pair of black boy short underwear, though they do extend far enough down to cover the tattoo like brand on her left thigh. Because of the loose fabric around her legs extending from the top of the garment, her kicks are slightly shielded from view and any dodge roll for a kick must be five higher than normal to succeed. After five kicks an opponent has seen this enough to catch on to the trick and for it to be ineffective and anyone with agility at least twice as high as Celest’s completely ignores this fact. (Class: Cloth)
Primary Weapon:
Dual Danger - Celest’s daggers look like two straight, small swords that have been fused together at the pommel. While not all that attractive, they’re very efficient. The design allows for her to easily attack with a deadly sharp blade in several directions without changing the orientation of her grip. She can effortlessly kill those in front of her and behind in one fluid motion. Using these daggers and her natural skill at dual wielding, she is able to battle effectively against multiple targets. They require no sheaths; her body seems to have a strange magnetic pull towards these particular blades. The hilts just remain stuck to her calves when she places them there, releasing themselves when they are needed. These were the weapons she was created with, and they are as much a part of her as her own arms. Kaiden was sure to return these to her when she acquired her body. (Class: Light, Notes: Double Weapon)
Level 5 Ability:
Ambidextrous - Celest was created to use two weapons. She is so skilled with wielding two weapons that she is unable to effectively use a device that would require both hands, such as a long sword or staff. Her hands move independently of each other in a manner that is confusing even to her and for an opponent to understand is nearly impossible. She swings her daggers with a smooth dance like quality that can bedazzle the easily distracted minds of weaker opponents. Since she is so superior at using weapons with this approach, she gains a 25% attack bonus when duel wielding. On the murkier side, she also looses 50% of her attack power when attempting to maneuver a two-handed weapon. (Passive Ability)
Level 15 Ability:
Deceptive Death - Celest was created to be an assassin in her former life and as a result was highly skilled in the art of killing. This ability is ensures that a target remains fatally wounded even if the slayer failed to actually execute her victim. One could not be an efficient murderer without knowing this spell. Celest curses her opponent with this enchantment causing healing magic to be worthless in aiding them. Only those with vast sources of power could convert enough into healing magic to be of any use in over coming this ability. For example 10,000 PL can only heal 1 HP. This spell lacks a known clever execution and must be recited over an extensive time (three separate preps) in order to be used. Usually this is done in the shadows before the prey is aware of the attacker’s presence. It is also effective against less experienced fighters who do not know the threat of such an attack and wouldn’t run. After the initial recital the user must come into bodily contact with the adversary in order to tap into this ability’s full power. The spell is effective until the victim naturally heals and this trick does not negate the effects of medicines, healing herbs and other methods of medicinal healing, only magic/energy conversion healing. Though most skillful assassins wouldn’t let a target survive long enough for natural healing. (Action Ability)
Level 25 Ability:
Postcognition - At one point, Celest lost all hope for her future, and starting ruminating more and more on her past. This constant fixation eventually led her to start seeing the past of other things. She felt she was going insane as the ability to see into an object’s history was slowly tormenting Celest. Every time she would close her eyes while touching or holding an inanimate object, the visions would occur. She started plenty of research that eventually led to a term for the affliction and a drive to learn to control it and refine it. Now she can easily see the immediate memories of an object, reaching back as far as a few hours. With more effort, Celest can search back even further, as if the world around her is a video on rewind and she’s in control of the remote. The side effects are generally mild, unless she’s really trying to focus on a specific memory with clear sight and (with enough concentration) sound. She’s discovered that the physical sign that she’s going too far is usually a dirty watering of the eyes and a temporary auditory loss. Curiosity does come at a price, and too much snooping could lead her to permanently damage her vision and hearing. Celest is unable to get any images from living creatures, and she’s found that things like sand and water are too fractured and jumbled to see anything from. (Passive Ability)
Level 35 Ability:
Matter Over Mind - Celest is not a magic user by any stretch of the imagination and having enough allies that are leads her to be quite content with never learning. However being a Lunarian affords her knowledge of the elements on par with any sorceress, at least of her base sylph element. She can command the air as an extension of herself, her sylph attacks not based on her Spirit SVS, but instead on her Body SVS as her very life is the wind and the noise carried through it. Damage calculation for a sylph elemental attack will be the same as if she were making an unarmed physical attack. Dodge for a sylph attack is also calculated as a physical attack.
Level 45 Ability:
Ferality - Being of an elemental nature, Lunarian’s are very sensitive to their personal element. From the beginnings of their stay on Solaris, they grow to become as familiar and in control of their nature as any other limb is refined to its highest potential, but there are occasional instances where a Lunarian can become drunk on power, or starve for it. When a Lunarian is over or under exposed to their element, their bodies’ and minds’ become unbalanced. While this fault has mostly evolved out of the species, Celest is still prone to this affliction given that her current form was created with ancient Lunarian biology in mind.

Unable to maintain a corporal appearance, her soul is given over to a primal nature becoming immune to any attack based on her personal sylph element, but anyone wielding her counter element of stone gains a 25% attack bonus against her in this state. Physical weapon damage is cut in half as attacking her at this point is like trying to split through fog. Feral Lunarians tend to not be of sound mind and likely to attack friend as well as foe. Consider a feral very dangerous and unapproachable; few beings are likely to be spared in the onslaught. The condition can last for the remainder of a battle and be extended if the extreme circumstance that first brought about the affliction continues. It can be shortened as well when balance is restored, this being especially easy if the affliction was caused by deprivation and she is exposed to her element, but the sheer likelihood of a sylph being cut off from air…. Well, it would take some demented torturer with a vacuum chamber.
Celest's past...
Once Celest was only a spirit trapped within the confines of Kia Braley’s body. Many referred to her as Wisper which is an alias given to her by the young Kia. With the aid of the dark arts and his former underlings, her older brother Kaiden has provided Celest with her former body back. His generosity is very confusing to her given their complicated and hostile history, but nonetheless she is thankful that she is presently whole again. She is not a particularly attractive woman, quite plain really, at least that is what she believes. Her eyes are a dull gray and her hair a greasy black. Her lips are tiny and unpronounced, but her body is curvy with nicely refined muscles and skin as white as porcelain. Her personality can be wildly unpredictable and usually falls within the area of fiery.

Her past is a vague recollection of murder and drama, and somewhere Kaiden played a part in it. She never had parents or any sort of family dynamic and existed in a very militaristic institution led by a few dozen individuals only referred to as “Leaders”. Kaiden and Celest are both highly skilled assassins whom where created by the Leaders solely for that purpose. Many of the Leader’s creations were made using a form of necromantic magic that created living beings modeled after the dead using a few body parts. Though most of their kind were made this way, a few known as “Perfects” had no model and were made from pure energy. Celest and Kaiden were comprised in this way as perfects, as were a handful of others. She was given the name Celest, meaning ‘wind’ or ‘of the heavens’, because she was born of the air and that is also her preferred element.

It’s sometimes hard to believe that Celest was ever a fighter. She shoots her mouth off often yet hardly backs up her words with action. She can be considered a passive character with little desire to actually draw blood. Her upbringing had a considerable affect on her psyche, causing her will to battle to practically dissipate. She’s also extremely feminine. It’s unlikely to see her without a skirt or dress on and frilled accents. Though she had begun life many centuries ago with a deadpan personality and emotionless heart, since being reincarnated several times and her most recent rebirth within Kia, she has learned many new and exciting ways to express herself. Overall Celest has a kind and gentle spirit.
