Difference between revisions of "Crimson Mage"

Personality

Red speaks her mind, favors change for the greater good, doesn’t like when red tape gets in her way, and places a great value on not only her own personal freedom, but the freedom of others as well. She doesn’t follow the laws of the land all too often, usually doing whatever she needs to do in order to get the job done.

She rarely makes plans before hand unless they are related to her fireworks displays, generally preferring to improvise things on the spot. She also acts a lot like a child, prone to pouting, giggling, playing pranks, and various other childish deeds.

Background

"Red," as she has been dubbed by Jan Dominello, has been around for a very long time living many lives of the course of known existence. She is a phoenix and as such can live for up to a thousand years before she is reborn to live a new life. She can remember most of her recent past lives and since the invention of written language each incarnation has recorded any useful information and placed it The Sanctuary.

Her most recent incarnation came about after her former life was mortally wounded by group of magic users known as the Azure Magi. She managed to escape them but died soon after near a cabin in the middle of the Northern Canadian wilderness. Upon being reborn as a baby phoenix she sought shelter from the cold in the cabin and lived there alone until Spring came.

When the weather warmed an old hunter, the owner of the cabin, arrived and discovered her. Having never seen anything like her before he took the bird in and kept her as a pet, well until she got old enough to use her magic to turn herself in her human form again. Saying this was a surprise to old hunter would be a blatant understatement, after the initial shock wore off she explained what she could remember to him, thanks him for taking her in, and left to go 'looking for adventures!'.

She took to road and began roaming Canada and America picking up skills as she traveled. She became a fan of video games, bad movies, science fiction, essentially anything nerdy.

Now she has taken up residence in Millennium City (Well a pocket dimension that exists anywhere but she is usually seen in MC) and joined the community of resident heroes. This was not seamless as most didn't enjoy her sense of humor and such, would yell at her. She shied away from the Respond and Protect channel for this reason and gave up her dream of being a superhero like she read about in comics. Instead she used her alchemy knowledge to start up a small, one-woman fireworks company.

One day, while she was in the "Minefield" in Vibora Bay, she met Cinder who encouraged her to start heroing again. She became a mage for hire and has recently joined the New Vigil.

Abilities

Elemental Magic Schools: Red knows spells from various elemental schools such as Wind, Fire, Earth, Water, Ice, Lightning, Light, and Darkness.

Arcane Magic School: These include Hexes, Charms, Illusions, and her go to favorite Magic Missiles.

Urban Magic School: In todays world, it's always best to be able to use the city to your advantage.

Ability Enhancement Schools: Just like the name implies, she carries around small pouches with prepared ingredients to cast spells that can enhance her or her allies natural abilities, such as speed and strength. She also has instant potions on her as well that can do the same thing.

Conjuration: Given enough time and the right materials Red can conjure up anything, this said, her most used conjurations are:

• Thunderfang - "Fang" is a large brown wolf who can shoot lightning out of his mouth and shapeshift.
• Vivi - Vivianos Corvinus, a spirit that Red bound to her in order to clean and organize her Sanctum.
• Sweets Enchantment - An experiment left her with the ability to summon sweets at will, normally cupcakes.

Alchemy: Red specializes in transmutational alchemy (conversion of one element into another) mostly for ingredients to spells or for her fireworks, though she frequently makes potions as well.

Portals: She can form portals to any location she can picture in her mind, can scry, or remotely view. This is most commonly used to get her to and from her Sanctum which exists within a pocket dimension.

Immunity to Fire/High Temperatures: She's a phoenix, what do you really expect?

Phoenix Wings: She is able to fly using her flaming Phoenix wings.

Regeneration: Again she's a phoenix, if she is killed, uses too much of her power, or lives long enough she will regenerate. This is less like that of a healing factor and more akin to how Time Lords from the Doctor Who franchise regenerate, while she'd maintain her memories physical form and personality can change effectively making her appear to be a different person.

Equipment

• Scythe - This magical weapon she found in the wilderness of the Yukon can open portals and acts as her spell focus for most offensive spells.

• Potions - She can come up with just about anything when it comes to potions but she usually keeps a 'haste', 'strength', and 'healing' potion on her at all times.

Weaknesses

Mana Pool: Most magic users will find their powers seem to come easier around Red. As she is a being of pure magical energy excess amounts radiate off of her body. This also means she can be directly tapped into to make casting easier. Too much of this can kill her (as in actual death not just leading to a regeneration).

Liquid Cooled: While in her human form she can go in water and deal with cold temps, in her true form these have the potential to extinguish her flames, without which she will die.

Only Human, well sorta: Her human body is a human body, if it can injure a human it can injure that body.

Known Associates

Cinder: Cinder, or "Flarebear" as Red calls her, is easily her best friend in the entire world and Red considers her like a little sister of sorts.

January "Jan" Dominello: Jan, also known as "Domino Principle", was the first person to ever really be nice to Red on the Respond and Protect channel, and became a bit of an surrogate mother to Red.

Eldritch: Weird mage guy and her former boss.

Gigi Smith: Gigi is a new friend of hers, she is an inventor and crazy, which Red loves.

Debbie: Debbie is new to the heroing world and Red tries to make sure she has a better experience than her's was.

Wryn: Red has started to view Wryn as a role model, like an older sister really.

Devon Lumley: Red Tolerates Von, but not the way he acts around Cinder.

Bee: Bee and Red discovered they have a lot of the same things in common, thus making him her first true guy friend.

Mercy: Her new boss at New Vigil, nice girl, Red suspects she follows her blog.

Galactigal: Continuing her like towards other heat/fire/plasma based beings, Red has taken a liking towards Gala.
