Character
Character Name: Lina Inverse
Fandom:
The SlayersTimeline: Directly after season two ends.
Crimes: Oh god. Do we have this kind of time? She's killed a lot of monsters, and probably bandits too. She's very violent, causes millions of gold in destruction wherever she goes, steals frequently, and has made herself stupidly infamous for any number of these things. Not to mention her major sins-- gluttony and greed. She eats more than any human has any right to and if there's something valuable around, especially something magically valuable or something likely to land her a lot of gold, she's all about it.
Personality: Lina's a hothead. She's not at all "ladylike" and has been known to shoot fireballs first, ask questions later. She's painfully intelligent, though, which makes it a shame when she lets her anger get ahead of the rest of her. She's perfectly capable of thinking things through rationally as she's had to do when fighting "big bosses," but she's also a fan of overkill. When not out searching for treasure she buries herself in libraries of books, always looking up new ways to learn how to do what she does better. New spells are especially interesting to her. She also loves working out puzzles. Lina loves a challenge and is more than a little competitive.
She doesn't handle change well. She freaks out when she wakes up somewhere she didn't fall asleep in as demonstrated in canon. There have been a few times where she's been knocked out by a spell of some sort and woken up somewhere strange. She gets angry and frustrated when she's confused and usually confrontational. She's been known to march up to the nearest person and demand to know what's going on. Once she figures out what's happened, though, she adjusts pretty quickly. Part of being a traveler is that she can fairly easily adapt to wherever it is she finds herself.
Lina's also pretty emotionally immature. She'll tease someone else to no end about sex or having a crush on someone, but the second anyone so much as IMPLIES the same with her, she'll turn bright red, fluster, and possibly hit you.
Abilities: She uses magic, and is especially strong with black magic. She's the only known human who can control the Giga Slave, a spell that calls upon the creator of all universes herself, The Lord of Nightmares, and is essentially pure chaos energy. If not controlled carefully it could consume the world, and it actually killed her once. She also is pretty good at shamanistic magic, specifically Fire-based spells. Her knowledge of white magic is limited more or less to the weaker spells. Light healing (a sword slash on the arm if not too deep, could cure itchy poison ivy, stuff like that), some self healing (a little more than what she can do for others, but not much), the ability to create a small ball of light to see when it's dark, and a sleeping spell. Any more than that is seriously taxing on her. If she gets too drained her hair color starts to fade, acting as a kind of power meter, from it's normal vibrant red to shades of pinkish orange to white when she's completely on empty. She will be very sad/cranky to find that she's nere impotent now.
Multifandom Test: Greed, from Full Metal Alchemist. I think a lot of it would depend on how they met, but when I've played her elsewhere they've usually gotten along eventually. Greed's had a respect for a girl with the same sort of aspirations he does, and Lina's found it fun to hang around with someone she can do proper thieving with. They understand each other's thirst for having it all, especially if it's valuable or wanted by someone else. The only real problems come, of course, when it's time to divy up the loot.
They can actually be pretty decent friends, though, provided their paths don't cross in opposite directions. Though she wouldn't be particularly happy about it, Lina would turn on him if she had to. After all, Greed would do the same thing to her.
Third person sample: (This takes place in a setting for a game I played previously. If you need me to post a different sample, let me know!) She felt the snap of energy around the rented room. It was like shutting a second thick, steel door over a fortified wall-- "just in case." Lina understood the paranoia. The things they were speaking about could get them both killed before either of them were even aware of the leak.
Her face went from toying to serious just as quickly. "You don't get to have your cake and eat it too," Lina folded her arms over her chest. "I don't trust you, and for damn good reason. I need to know that if I risk my life to help you do this that you won't use your new found freedom to rip a hole in this pretty planet I've come to love and live on." She held out a quick finger, "And no, I won't just take your word on it."
Lina kept her gloved finger raised. "First. I don't trust a mazoku to play nice. If you want to play with the rest of the masterless marionettes, you're going to have to cut off some of your strings. As a mazoku you have access to too much that you shouldn't-- a half mazoku wouldn't have nearly so much power. Pick something mortal. Human, elf, beastman. I don't care. And since you'll have to help me fight Zelas, you'll be able to harness whatever power isn't mazoku related to help me. But we'll get to that later."
She held up a second finger. "Second. You're too strong. I don't know how and frankly, I don't care. You're going to have to give it up. Consider it the price of freedom. I'll even let you pick what part of you we seal off, cut off or destroy."
A third finger. "Finally, you'll have to help me kill Zelas. And you of all people know exactly what that'll mean."
Lina's eyes met open violet once more. It was bizarre seeing his eyes look at her so intently, so directly. Was that.. anxiousness she saw?
"What do you say, Xellos? You game?"
First person sample: .. the hell is this thing? Where the hell am I? What the fuck is this room? Where the hell is everyone? And why the hell doesn't my magic work right?
I am SO sick and tired of this shit! I had a bag full of valuables, anyone wanna explain to me who the hell took that? You have any idea how many bandits I had to light on fire to get my hands on those jewels? And that statuette was worth a small fortune! I COULD'VE EATEN SIX COWS AND HAD CHANGE LEFT OVER!
AND WHY THE HELL DOES IT FEEL LIKE SOMEONE'S WATCHING ME?!
Auuuuuugh. There has GOT to be a way outta here. No WAY I'm sticking around in this hell hole. Someone better tell me this place has a library at least. Something to pass the goddamn time with. How did we even GET here?
Whoever runs this place just better be glad my magic doesn't work or so help me, I'd Dragon Slave the hell out of this stupid smelly--
/KICKS THE WALL/
-- DAMNIT, WHY ARE THESE WALLS SO HARD?
Does... anyone have any foot bandages? Healing spells?Ma
