银音 [Sunday Dive Test]

The Biography

Birth Name: 银音 Aliases: Drummer Girl, Yin Gender: Female Age: 23 Birth Day: 4/19 Arcana: The Devil - Portrayed as a hermaphrodite devil over two naked and chained figures, the negative aspect of the Devil Arcana represents the urge to do selfish, impulsive, violent things and be slave to ones' own impulse and feelings. Occasionally, it is also portrayed as a symbol of temptation. The positive aspect, however, represents a healthy bond or commitment. Place of Residence: Wherever there's music in the air. Evoker: N/A Guild: class zero xD epic meme Part/Full Time Job: Street Performer / Musician Appearance: 5'4, silver blonde hair, dull brown eyes. Tends toward casual wear in spare time; hoodies, slacks, and a pair of headphones are signature parts of her streetwear. When performing however... Alternate Appearance: Yin most often wears a costume similar in design to marching band uniforms, but much more stylized. See the reference picture above. Personality: A bright and cheerful woman who marches literally and figuratively to her own beat. She loves music above all else and considers it her only passion in life; she thus tends to characterize all else she does and sees in the trappings of it... although she's not particularly interested in the rules or conventions of the medium. There's no love for money in her heart, but it instead pines voraciously for recognition and she'll do almost anything for fame.

The Potential

Strengths and Weaknesses: —Strength Name: March to the Beat! —Description: When under the effects of a Sukukaja (or similar agility buff) cast by her, party members may move an additional three spaces during the dungeon traversal phase. This can apply to Yin Yin herself as well if she casts the ability on herself or the party as a collective. —Strength Name: Song of Solidarity —Description: The percentage effects of buffs are boosted by an additional 15%. —Strength Name: Beat Drop Beatdown —Description: 15% increase to Ppstr. —Strength Name: Encore! —Description: If Yin Yin successfully downs an enemy then on the Once More acquired from that she'll do 10% extra damage. This only applies if she decides to use a physical or dexterity based attack and it only lasts for each individual Once More, so stringing multiple criticals together won't lead to a 20%/30%/etc. boost to damage. —Strength Name: Crowd Pleaser —Description: x2 growth in Showmanship. ----------- —Weakness Name: Guiding Beat —Description: If Yin Yin's agility buff wears off during the traversal phase and isn't reapplied immediately then for the remainder of the turn she won't be able to move.

Only an ally can cure her of these ailments. Additionally she's 15% more susceptible to being inflicted with Despair. —Weakness Name: Style Over Substance —Description: 15% decrease to Pmstr. —Weakness Name: Off Tempo —Description: If Yin misses an attack then on the next turn she's 10% more likely to miss. For AoEs and multi-hits this weakness won't be triggered so long as she manages to land at least one of the hits. —Weakness Name: Following the Heart —Description: 1/2 effectiveness to growth in Strategy.

The Background

History: An aspiring yet stumbling musician who's consumed by her love for her art. After struggling and failing to make waves in the industry for years, she attempted to end her life by diving off a bridge only for a tiān lù to swoop in and rescue her. In the process the two became one, attached together in a twist of fate, and with their lives linked the girl was no longer able to end her own for fear of taking her savior's as well. Since that day her newfound companion has encouraged her to keep moving forward no matter the hardships and she's taken her songs from the studio to the streets, marching on with a spring in her step and a sunny smile spread across her face, albeit one which hides her persisting insecurity.

Spirit Weapon Name: Pixiu

Spirit Weapon's Arcana: Devil

Owner: Yin Yin

Spirit Weapon Appearance: A far cry from his natural form, Pix has forsaken the visage of a winged lion and instead taken on the appearance of an ordinary instrument. His wings have transformed into marching drum slings, his claws into drumsticks, and his body into the drum itself. This makes it very easy for him to blend in, albeit it can be difficult for Yin to use him in direct close quarters combat.

Spirit Weapon Personality: Pix is very lively much like his master. As a tiān lù he's incredibly avaricious and is obsessed with the collection of wealth, always reminding Yin Yin to accept tips from the crowds their performances draw, though he's not one to dwell on past regrets and rarely considers the long term when it comes to finances. Despite this greed though, he's at his core a very benevolent and kindhearted creature who ultimately seeks the best for the humans he cherishes. He's a talkative sort too, but only Yin can understand him as in his current state all his speech is rendered through music.

Spirit Weapon Background: Pixiu is a Chinese mythical hybrid creature, commonly (but incorrectly) referred to in the West by the Greek word "chimera", and considered a powerful protector of practitioners of Feng Shui. It resembles a strong, winged lion. Pixiu is an earth and sea variation, particularly an influential and auspicious creature for wealth. It is said to have a voracious appetite towards only gold, silver and jewels. Therefore, traditionally to the Chinese, Pixiu have always been regarded as auspicious creatures that possessed mystical powers capable of drawing Cai Qi (財氣wealth) from all directions. Because of this, according to Chinese zodiac, it is especially helpful for those who are going through a bad year. Pixiu was reputed as a very fierce creature. The large fangs, visible in the creatures' snarling mouths, are used to attack demons and evil spirits, draining their essence and converting it to wealth. Pixiu also guard against disease caused by these same evil spirits. It is written that Pixiu patrols the Heavens to keep demons at bay and to protect their owners from all harm.

It was believed that the ferociously devoted Pixiu would always and constantly guard its Master, even after he passed from this life into the next world. It was also believed that Pixiu would help their Masters ascend to heaven by flying them up to Heaven while they rode on their strong backs.

Description: At the start of a battle, Yin Yin receives a 15% boost to a randomized physical element between Slash, Strike, Pierce, and Gun. After it's decided by a 4 number randomizer the boost will apply to all skills she has of that element for the rest of the fight. If at the time she doesn't have one or more of the elements on her skillset then she may exclude them from the roll, but the amount of numbers in the randomizer must be lowered accordingly as to keep the odds even.

I'm good with most of this as-is but this strength here...

Doesn't really do much for you, since Sukukaja already does this anyway. Unless I'm misunderstanding your purpose.

The intention is that it stacks as an additional 3 on top of the 3 already granted by Sukukaja. So agility buffs would lead to being able to travel 6 extra spaces in total.

oh shit that's really good. I'm gonna say okay for the test, cause I'm curious how it will play out. depending on how swole it is I may not accept it in the actual game lol

er...Accepted
