Dawn the Quoll

Appearance

Dawn's pupil-lacking eyes are a very pronounced supernatural blue with faded sparkles gliding over them.

Her fur is cookie brown in color. Like any quoll, she has many spots over her body, which gives her fur a "chocolate Chip Cookie" vibe. Dawn has a quite frail build, her lower body having a relatively better build than her upper body, but she isn't dangerously underweight.

Dawn's enchanted armor attire is definitely not the norm, and is very noticeable for more than one reason. The armor goes by a blue and purple theme; She wears a blue strapless midriff breastplate that has a purple lining on the upper and lower ends of the item. As for her torso, Dawn dons a dark blue armored skirt consisting of six thin lames, which she wears over her blue underclothing. The skirt has a large purple buckle on the main part of the skirt. On her feet, she wears a custom designed pair of purple caligae.

Dawn also wears a purple choker around her neck and a lighter purple bow on the end of her tail.

History

Dawn is part of the species known as the Planes-Walkers; Her "race" is known as the Aether-Walkers, Dawn was born with an unbreakable connection to the Aether Plane. As such, she was heavily experienced with Aether energy and her magic abilities.

Like the rest of her species, she goes out of her way to try to purge the effects of Nether-Walkers throughout the macroverse at all costs, and often works as a guardian for the gateway to heaven. It was a simple "black and white" life of good and bad.

Her life for an Aether-Walker involved understanding the reach and limitations of her magical abilities, learning how to defend Heaven and the Aether Plane from the Nether-Walkers, and the likes. The difference between her and the average Aether-Walker was that Dawn was the princess of her kind, and she had bigger roles to play once the time came.

However, Dawn has not been the kind to take this seriously, always adventuring out to the rather dangerous areas along with her other group of friends, because in the end, they all assumed they can handle themselves... unless what they're attempting this time is to teleport beyond the reality boundary. The group was curious enough to try it, and with their combined magic, attempted to try it out.

Unfortunately... the entire group were novices, so rather than warping to an alternate universe as planned, they instead accidentally warped Dawn into the material world, and Dawn finds out that the once "black" and white" life she lived in was actually only the surface of a grey world.

(her story will continue if/when she gets into rps)

Personality

Mannerisms

Dawn may be normal in the eyes of other Aether-Walkers, but to most other people, her attitude and culture makes her a rather eccentric person. As a result, she is more likely to be quiet in most situations, mainly going along with the ideas of others.

This kind of character makes her seem viewed as having a supporting role in the group, though if necessary, Dawn can and will attempt to lead with her own set of ideas, which as odd as they sound sometimes, it surprisingly works.

As nice as she may seem on the outside, Dawn, in the very end, is a trained mystical warrior. She almost becomes a different person when focused on the task at hand.

Equipment

Armor of Aether-Walkers are primarily for protection against magic and other supernatural forces rather than for physical damage (though this is meant by its lack of coverage, not its durability).

Regardless, when enchanted, the armor is conventionally unbreakable due to it being powered by an Aether Walker's limitless aether energy.

Royal Choker

Grants immunity to negative mental attacks and telekinesis.

Enchanted Breastplate

The armor is enchanted to vastly increase her physical durability, and also grants Dawn high resistance to Astral, Death, and Curse abilities.

Enchanted Skirt

Dawn's skirt anchors Dawn upon the reality she is in. This gives her high resistance to reality warping.

Enchanted Arm Band

worn on her upper left arm, it grants her a small resistance to the elements.

Enchanted Caligae

These caligae prioritize on protection against speed limitations. They make sure that Dawn's movement cannot be nullified nor stopped completely. For example, a spell that slows down Dawn's speed would not affect her so long as she is wearing her caligae. Abilities such as speed stealing, friction inducement, slowness spell casting, etc will be much less effective.

Enchanted Miniature Trident

This 'trident' is pretty small, only about the length of her arm. While sharp, It's honestly a crappy weapon to use for melee purposes. However, Its true magical power is devastating.

Upon hitting the ground after being thrown, the very top of the troposphere will by covered by thousands of energy projectiles similar in shape to the trident, all of them flying down towards that one said area at varying speeds of usually about five to seven seconds. It's as if it literally summons a rain storm of magical projectiles, all without wasting her own stamina minus the throwing part.

Unfortunately, she has to recover the item in order to use it again (though tactics such as telekinesis can work). While other opponents can take this item, only magical users may be able to activate its power when thrown.

Abilities

Dawn is the magic/energy user of the group. Her main role in a team battle is a supporting player, though if necessary she could definitely handle her own.

Being an Aether-Walker grants Dawn her four main abilities: the ability to cast magic, the ability to have mastered control over her personal domain, access and control over multiple planes of existence, and the ability to manipulate aether energy. This results in an extremely versatile set of powers.

Aetherwalker Physiology

Naturally residing in the Aetherworld and basically bathing in Aether, which is basically the essence of not only life force but the universe, Dawn's knowledge of aether energy is practically second nature.

The eyes of an Aether-Walker see the world differently. This allows her to overcome illusions, see the concept of truth and lie, and see what would normally be invisible by conventional means.

Her blood stream is made up of an aether liquid that works similar to blood, but is not actually blood. It is made of a limitless flow of aether energy.

Depending on the area and type of Aether-Walker one becomes, strength and durability vary (in Dawn's case, she's average), but one thing consistent to all Aether-Walkers is that they are fast, and are actually able to move at speeds varying from Mach 3 to Mach 10 (Dawn is Mach 5).

Plane Existence/Access

Being an Aether-Walker, Dawn exists/can access multiple planes of existence, allowing her to have a large variety of abilities to use, magic included.

Astral Plane

Existing in the astral plane gives her immunity to soul possession (unless the opponent can somehow possess spirits) due to the fact that she technically is a spirit and a physical body simultaneously.

Dawn can interact with others both on the physical and spiritual level. This is also helpful for exorcism, which she had to do on a few occasions. She is able to do this by forcing souls and spirits out of other's bodies if need be, and fight them on the astral plane. In short, a lot of poltergeist fighting.

Akashic Plane

This plane governs knowledge and everything related to it. Dawn can use divination in order to gain access to knowledge of the unknown in the present, past, and future.

Causal Plane

With access to this plane, Dawn can affect her own memories and other's memories. She can implant, restore, and even erase memories. Should her own memory be removed/altered from her somehow, it will be restored to optimal condition within a short period of time.

Mental Plane

With this access, Dawn can read and control the thoughts and minds of others. This is a heavily used trait of Aether-Walkers, as they would use telepathy rather than verbal speech to communicate majority of the time, due to it costing less energy and saving time in talking.

Other abilities that can be achieved by Dawn on the Mental Plane are casting one to sleep, increasing and decreasing the effectiveness of instincts, performing hypnosis, creating (and if strong enough, penetrating) mental blocks and psychic shields, and altering one's senses to create illusions.

Arcane Plane

The Arcane Plane is the main plane Dawn uses, for this parallel plane of existence is the reason behind not only her magic, but just about every user of magic in general.

Dawn has a VERY large variety of magic on her side, as magic is a very versatile ability in general.

size manipulation - from increasing her allies' size to decreasing her opponents', Dawn uses this ability to make sure the enemy does not have the edge via size. Her range of effectiveness is from 20% their current size to 5 times their current size.
elemental powers - Dawn is able to control a variety of elements: fire, water, electricity, earth, wind, ice, light, and darkness. She can combine these elements or elemental recomposition powers.
Magical blasts and rays - These blasts are very versatile, each able to be controlled and/or seek its target.
Magic circles: her main offensive choice, she can use these as razors, shields, an umoving platform, repeller, gateways to other areas, dimensions, and planes, etc.
spatial distortion - Dawn can manipulate the environment around her,causing very absurd effects, such as changing the direction of gravity (for herself or for an environment), make a destination much farther/closer by changing its distance, distort the world in the shape of cubes, etc. This tactic is mainly for the environmental advantage.
Antipathy- used to deflect or repel attacks back to opponents. While most commonly used against energy blasts, it may also be used for more subtle abilities, such as telekinesis or teleportation abilities.
time manipulation - Dawn create, launch, and control orbs of time. She can slow down time to a crawl, speed up time, stop it entirely, and even reverse it. However, her potency with her power depends on her range of effect. From her maximum area-of-effect (about a cityblock), Dawn can slow down time to about half its normal pace, but that's it. On the other hand, if she concentrates her power on one thing, like a broken glass cup for instance, her skill with time manipulation can allow her to reverse the flow of time and repair the cup.
Medusa's light- casting a bright light on the field from her eyes, if one is to be surrounded by said light, this would immobilize said victim.
Imperceptibility - Dawn can changed her existence to be ignored, though this causes concentration. This could be viewed as a superior version of invisibility, due to her presence being ignored rather than trying to mask her presence.
Enhanced Form Removal - Dawn can create a field where attackers using any type of ascended/special form will have it negated.
Duplication - Clones of herself can be produce to confuse the enemy and attack them from all sides.
Item enchantment - Dawn may increase the use of an item by enchanting it. A pistol can prove the most powerful gun on the planet, a backpack may contain a hammerspace dimension inside, etc.
Negative ailment inducement - Dawn can cause all forms of negative stats to enemies. This can be from sicknesses and disease, to abilities that can hinder an opponent's maximum potential.
telekinesis - Dawn can use her own mind to move matter around her, and she has very large range with this.
Anti Magic - Viewed as transparent energy, Dawn can create shields, lasers, and spheres of anti magic. Anti magic does absolutely no damage and phases through everything it comes in contact with unless it is something magical, in which it would instead destroy any form of magic on contact.
Conjuration- Dawn's magical abilities allow her to summon almost anything at whim, a useful ability for magicians to have.
Abjuration - Dawn's main defensive tactics involve making a powerful forcefield. She can heal all forms of wounds and purify negative ailments by not just healing, but by restoring the user back to optimal condition. The restoration technique only requires the subject to be alive and their soul still in their body (if they had one to begin with). If the conditions are met, Dawn can successfully return herself or others to optimal condition.
Reflection Magic - An extremely versatile ability, Dawn can access the Mirror Dimension through reflections, such as water reflections, shiny armor, and mirrors (obviously). Within this place, Dawn can possess the reflection of others, duplicate objects, deflect just about everything, imprison others within mirrors, etc.
Escape artistry - a classic magician trick, Dawn can get herself out of tight situations. Unlike classic magic acts, this goes as far as freeing herself from supernatural concealments and imprisonment as well.
Vanish - another classic magician trick, Dawn can make things disappear into thin air.
Immunity Bypassing - as long as Dawn is noticeably superior to her opponent, her magical abilities can bypass the immunity defenses of others.
- A fire-immune opponent that is noticeably weaker than Dawn can be affected by her fire spells like any other nonresistant being. If said character was around the same level of power as Dawn, Dawn's ability can only turn their immunity into resistance. If the character is noticeably superior to Dawn, this ability will not have any effect.

Basic Alchemy

Dawn isn't a pro in this category unlike most of her Aether-Walker allies... only skilled enough with alchemy to make stamina potions and aether aura potions (to allow her to temporarily survive in a nether environment).

Flaws

Dawn's magic saps at her energy. The more complex, potent, and/or larger the magic ability is, the more energy that is drained.

Anti-magic can only nullify magic, it can't affect anything else. Anti-magic would also be bad if it was used by an opponent against her own magic. Dawn also has to be very concentrated when using anti-magic, as she could easily accidentally counter herself.

Higher tier magical abilities takes concentration and time.

Science Manipulation powers, like Quantum, are a great counter to Dawn's magical powers.

Nether manipulation is the counter to Dawn's Aether manipulation, and it is also her weakness due to her Aether-Walker heritage. Simply being in hellish conditions causes painful symptoms, such as vomiting burning blood, skin peeling in some areas due to the nether heat, etc.

Dawn's stamina and magical energy, despite both being possible to recharge, has a limit. There's only so much she can do before her stamina starts taking a toll, and if she continues, she can begin hurting herself. It doesn't help that Dawn has a condition similar to tachycardia, unknowingly due to having massive hidden potential to her magic gnawing at her from the inside, and if pushed too far she can very quickly pass out.

The more complex and difficult it is to retrieve information, the longer it will take Dawn to gain it through divination. How far in the past or how far in the future also plays a role.

Performing the Medusa's Light technique leaves her in a vulnerable state due to the light blinding her in the process of doing it. One not submerged into the light has the advantage of attacking Dawn in the middle of her technique with a ranged attack, so long as they remember where Dawn is and they don't have to look at her.

Dawn's imperceptibility disappears upon violent contact, either to her or from her. She can also be noticed if she were to bump into someone, or by how she interacts with the environment.

Conjuration costs a ton of energy.

Unless she is controlling time at that moment, Dawn herself is not immune to the effects of time manipulation.

Dawn's more powerful magic relies on help in gestures and movement, whether it be finger-wagging o arm-waving. Should she be restrained from movement, Dawn will be limited to her lower tier magic.

Her clones are not as strong as her, and not as skilled in magic.

Power absorption is a rather really slow ability, not really good for most forms of combat.

Dawn is overwhelmed with trying to learn from all branches of magic, as her role of being next in line in the royal family. She isn't at her max potential in any of them, unlike her allies.

Magic can be surpassed by stronger magic, common sense.

Trivia

The Aether Plane resides above conventional time. Living there essentially makes you live forever, which is important considering they have the role of guarding the afterlife. This explains why Dawn doesn't really have an age.
