angelo_wingsTHE BASICS
Rinoa is a newly-awakened Sorceress -- one that has been in a coma for the few weeks she's had her powers, so that kinda blows. But she's much better now.
She used to be the strategist for a resistance movement called the Forest Owls in Timber. (Timber is occupied by Galbadia. Rinoa's father heads up the Galbadian military. Daddy issues: check.) Rinoa's name in the group: Princess. She funds it with Daddy's Money, and her room on their base looks like this. So Yeah.
Rinoa has used her mother's maiden name, Heartilly, ever since she ran away from home at 16. Before that, it was Caraway.
She is idealistic, naive, spoiled, and very forthright about what she wants. She's also sweet, friendly, eager, and playful.
Oh, and she keeps dating mercenaries. Squall is both her knight (more on that in a mo) and her kinda-sorta-almost BF (that, too).
SORCERESS POWERS
Much like the Buffyverse Slayer lineage, a Sorceress gives up her powers just before her own death to the nearest potential. Many Sorceresses live out their lives quietly. Many others go mad from having unfuckingbelievable amounts of power at their fingertips, and try to blow up the world.
Rinoa is hoping to go for Plan A, there.
Squall is her "knight" -- her bodyguard, but also her emotional anchor to reality. The one who will remind her not to blow up the world, because she likes it and keeps her stuff there. [/gratuitous Tick reference]
Most of the time, Rinoa keeps her Sorceress abilities under severe lockdown, although she can do basic, standard-level magic without any fuss. (Normal humans in her canon can't do magic at all without some complicated workarounds.)
When she does bust out the Sorceress powers, it'll be for a big, obvious reason, like "something tried to kill Squall" or "the island is under attack" or suchlike. Other times, she can crack the door a little and show off a taste of it. Not very often, though. She's scared that using her powers regularly means she's going to be unable to come back, and end up going crazy-evil like all those other Sorceresses.
Lastly: when she busts out her Sorceress abilities? She gains big, white wings. The other sorceresses have wings when you fight them, and it makes for pretty icons, so let's go with it!
Quick note for psychics-telepaths-empaths-aura sensors-etc:
When Rinoa's in full-on Sorceress mode, assume that she's shielded. Otherwise, she's open to read. For the purposes of things like Sookie's power, the mun and I decided that she counts as vaguely supernatural, since her magic isn't a learned skill, it's just -- something that is.
If you can sense magic in a person, she is probably going to be off the charts
RESCUE DOG
Rinoa's dog Angelo (full name: Sant'Angelo di Roma, and she's a girl dog despite the name "Angelo") is an adorable puppy who also happens to be a fully trained rescue dog. As in, during the game, she will show up at random unexpected uncontrolled-by-you-the-player times to heal someone or go AROOOO and charge whatever just attacked you. This happens to be the coolest fucking thing ever and so Angelo is available for all your Rescue Dog needs.
No, seriously, if your character will be trapped by an angry mob of alligators and want to have a random puppy show up to growl at them, toss you a potion, and run away again? Contact me OOC to get the hook-up. Because Angelo owns.
Like much in her life, Rinoa thinks this is totally normal. Can't your dog bite T-Rexes and perform CPR?
"SEMI-BF"?
Yeah, about that. Rinoa is coming to Fandom alongside![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
whateverknight. Or, more precisely, he's coming with her, as knight-protector and all. She is going to annoy the shit out of him until he finally admits that yes, he's in love with her and then everything will be fluffy bunnies.
Rinoa is young/naive/idealistic enough that she thinks big, dramatic shit like "facing certain death repeatedly on a slim chance of saving her" is romantic. Squall is broken enough that he's finally discovered how to care about one person and so she is not allowed to die on him. (Determinator much?)
No, we are not under the mistaken idea that this is healthy/normal/sane. Trust us. Having said that, they're oddly good for one another, in that she has patience with his Complete Failure At Social Interaction, and he's promised to keep her safe, with helps all her scared-little-girl messiness. The rest, they'll work on.
AND ME
I forgot to do this yesterday, on my other infopost. I'm Relly, I rock the EST and have crazy insomniac hours. I have an awesomesauce N-person spouse *waves* and three kitties who like snuggles and to puke on things I own. I'm on IM as either rikkutastic or fond of vowels -- usually both. I'm up for plotty and easily amused.
Aaaaand I think that's it! Questions? Comments? Shiny objects?
